Day 271 - still here!!

Ive been quite busy at work so I haven't been updating or focusing very much on my diet, although I still weigh in every single morning without fail, so that does help keeping me focused!!

Every morning I've stuck with porridge or bran flakes, and every lunch mostly consists of a chicken breast salad sandwich on whole meal seeded bread, and normally a pack of raisins.

Dinners have been up and down as I've been busy at work, on D of E trip and visiting Keele Uni with lots of hours driving, so I've had some ups and downs. I mostly have smaller portions than I ever used too for my dinners, and leave out the potatoes. 

As per usual, it's the dinners that are my downfall!! But I'm not giving up hope. I'm currently weighing in around 14 stone 13lbs; so close!!!! But I'm not great at he weekends so I mostly go up to just over 15 stone on a Monday morning, then by Friday I'm down to 14:13 again!! 

I'm desperate to get to the 3 stone mark. However, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm being treated to a full english for breakfast, and a Chinese for dinner!! Last night we went out for steak, and I still weighed in at 14:13 this morning so I'm remaining hopeful. 

I will try extra hard this week to have stupidly healthy meals for dinners, to get past the 3 stone mark.

Day 247 still going strong!!

I did another week of the zero hunger diet as I was really enjoying it, and managed to lose another 2lbs, just about, but we aren't interested in decimal places here!! Last night I made massaman curry, full of coconut milk, peanut butter, with prawn crackers, wasabi nuts, and meringue and fruit dessert! This isn't normally on the diet but it was a special occasion that was pre planned. I was relieved when I had still lost 2lbs despite this. 

Normally I then have a day off to eat what I like, but today I was FAIRLY healthy. I stuck to a nice porridge for breakfast, and had a couple of rice crackers and a belvita in the day with a few green teas. But for dinner ordered a big curry. However, after the starters and a couple of poppadums I was full, and I (unbelievably) stopped eating!! I had bought a vienetta as a treat for today but I still has meringue and fruit left over so I had that for supper, so it's not been too bad!! 

I'm going to keep healthy in the day tomorrow and have my left over curry for dinner with vienetta, then I plan to start back on the diet on Friday. I've decided so as not to get bored on the diet, I'm going to start introducing other meals. I'm happy with breakfast and lunch as I'm so busy at work I don't have time to be too bothered about changing it. But for dinner, I'm going to incorporate a bit of red meat, jacket potatoes now and again as well, but try to keep it as healthy as possible and see how it goes by next Friday.

I'm going to weigh in this Friday to confirm my weight before the start of the diet, to see whether it's successful. I'm currently at 15 stone 1lb. I think it's also helped being back at work, as I've been very busy and walking around a lot, getting more exercise. Only 3 more pounds until the 3 stone mark!!
