Salad isn’t food…it’s what food eats!

..about yesterday but I didn’t give in and binge. and i stuck to  my exercise plan today. and even did more than i expected.

worst evening ever. well maybe not EVER but bad enough. Somehow managed to loose, or have stolen, my purse on the way home. Spent an hour cancelling all my cards, feel sick and miserable. i wanna binge big style. but i won’t i won’t i won’t.

And do you know what i’m really pis*ed off about. i had my new gym membership card in it so now i have to pay to get a new one. And i only had it 1 day. 1 bloody day. and if i wanna go swimming tomorrow i’m gonna have to pay another £3.40 when i payed £33 YESTERDAY to cover me for the whole month. AAAARGH.

 I can only hope someone has been kind and handed it in. At least i’ve cancelled all my cards. Not that anyone could get much money out of me……and on the bright side, I did need a new purse.

Where i want to be… me at 8.5st (119Ib)

I can’t beleive I thought I was fat then…

breakfast: bagel+jam
lunch: carrot and coriander soup. Wholemeal bread roll.
dinner: salmon, salad, coleslaw (homemade with extra light mayo) crash hot potatoes. Frusi frozen yoghurt desert thingy.
snacks: cereal bar.

So at the weigh in yesterday I had lost 0.7% body fat, apparently. Is this due to the pills? It’s so hard to say, it could obviously be due to exercising more and eating less rubbish! However, one benefit it says it has is that it is an appetite suppressant and I have felt a lot less hungry and a lot less like I want to snack. I especially feel quite disinterested in sweet things, which I usually crave.

As an example last week I had one of these chocolate puddings in my fridge all week and didn’t eat it. I even had cream to go with it, but i just didn’t feel like eating it. Amazing!

Sunday: Swimming. 34 lengths in 35 mins.
Monday: Swimming. 34 lengths in 30 mins. (put a bit more ooomph in it today!)
Wednesday: walking 40mins, swimming 20 lengths in 20 mins

Just hoping that the scales will be kind tomorrow morning, or else it’s not worth it and i’m bound to feel discouraged.. but I do feel as though I’ve lost some weight! Fingers crossed!

Went to the gym for the first time tonight. Apparently Friday is a good time to go to the gym as the majority of the time it was just me- good thing as no-one could see how much hard work I was finding it! And it was the hottest day of the year so far so I was really sweating like a pig. Not attractive. Still, I’ll schedule myself  into the gym for next Friday.

….knackered. Started today by walking to work. Took about 30 mins (it usually takes about 45mins but i was walking pretty damn fast.) Then at lunch time I ran around town buying stuff to wear to the gym as I deceided to join the gym! Not much rest there. After work I had my gym induction and I’ve only just got home and sat down. I. AM. KNACKERED.

Have deceided to change my swimming target to a mins-of-exercise-this-week target as I am not going to be able to swim this week until sunday as the pool is not open late enough!

… at work at the weekend we had an open day and the manager bought in chocs, and crisps and nibbles for the customers. Today at work Nicki said to me (to my face!) that when she heard what Fahmidah was buying she had said ‘oh, laura will eat all the chocolates!’ ha ha ha. She’s skinny by the way. I don’t think she meant it in a mean way, or I’m sure she wouldn’t have said anything to me… but how bloody thoughtless. Still hurt

Anyway, she said it ‘cos I WASN’T eating all the chocolates. And she was. So ha! right back at’ch ya!

That’s 2 rants in a row. I’d better go to bed and catch some shut eye ‘cos apparently I’m grumpy!

…is my skin such a bloody mess at the moment. It was ok on sunday and since then it seems all hell has broken loose…all over my face! Someone pass me a paper bag!
