Back on track

After 3 days on the GI diet, I’m feeling a lot more positive that I can do this. Out of interest, I tallied up the points of the food I ate on Monday and Tuesday this week- and was pleasantly surprised to find that I averaged at 23 points- just one above what Weightwatchers suggests I should be eating at the moment.

Last week, it was a different story- I was eating an average of 34.5 points a day. And on points, I was continually hungry and craving more and more junk, while on the GI plan, my cravings are almost gone, and I haven’t felt hungry since I started.

Sooo… everything is looking positive for a good outcome at my next weigh-in.

I am having one problem though- I’m getting a lot of aches around my joints and in my muscles, and I’m wondering if that has something to do with the fact I’m detoxing from all the crisps and cakes I had been eating recently. Interestingly enough, today I did an ‘experiment’ and ate a cake and two packets of crisps, and 3 crumpets… and the aches have subsided. Weird but true!

Anyway… here’s to next week. Let’s see if I can keep up the good work and see the scales shift!

Not bad!!

2lb gained over 2 weeks
1st1lbs lost
3st6lbs to go

I was expecting to have gained a lot this week. I went to my weightwatcher’s meeting for the first time in over a month, and only gained 1lb over that time.

I’m rather impressed! I have rewarded myself with a rather lovely bracelett that has been sitting in my reward box since I bought it at the Vitality show in March. Well-earned I reckon!!

So, now I’m well enough to go back to WW, I think it’s time to set myself a goal* for the coming week. I think it would be achievable and sensible to aim for a 1.5lb loss. 13st4lbs is my goal.

Go girl, Go!!!

 

*I set my weekly goals using my Weekly Review and Planner sheet.

Weigh-in wonders

1lb lost this week
1st3lbs lost
3st4lbs to go

I’m still feeling quite mashed-up health-wise, so I decided not to go to WW again today. I’ve got a lot going on at the moment and felt that a day resting at home was more valuable than pushing myself to get to weightwatchers.

I weighed myself on my home scales and I’ve lost a pound this week. I’m really pleased about this because I haven’t been tracking my food intake at all.

I have, however, been eating my nuts and seeds for snacks and that’s been going well. Also, I think the warmer weather has reduced my cravings so I’m making better food choices and finding it easier to recognise when I am not hungry.

Or maybe it’s the nuts and seeds reducing the cravings?

Anyway, all round a good week considering. Here’s to next week!
