When is bedtime already!
Wow I'm drained today and I haven't really done anything. I just feel so sleepy. Could do with a nap but that just isn't going to happen. Been to town this morning to fetch more weight watchers food. lol. I have loads left to do before the day is out though. Kids just got back from school and soon they will need feeding. Then it's going to be time to get them in the bath, then 20 minutes chill out time then they go to bed. This is my cue to get the house cleaned (again), do washing, and at some point I need to eat myself. Then I am having a bath and going to bed! I need a good early night.
My meal plan changed after I went into town. I had my special k and 2 toast for breakfast and for lunch I had 2 ww pitta breads stuffed with mixed lettuce, cucumber, red onion and 3 slices of ham. It was delish! Will deff have that again.
Not sure yet what to have for dinner.
I have decided that to make this work for me I am going to have 3-5 days off from certain foods. Such as bread, potatoes, rice, pasta etc. Otherwise I will just be eating the same things over and over and getting nowhere. If I vary it then I will have to come up with more ideas and eat more variety. I am going to start this after my next weigh in. I am after all still getting used to the whole points thing and I think if I do it that way I will be able to budget it easier and waste less.
Loving the http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers/ forum too. Some funny people on there and everyone seems helpful. I have spent most of my afternoon on there and it's great that nearly everyone is sinking in the same boat and the ones who fitted in the life jackets and got out are there to help you and give you their inspirational stories of how they battled the fat.
Still going good and feeling strong. Even if I do feel guilty about stealing half a toasted teacake from my son earlier.

Meal plan 1
Breakfast consisted of a 40g bowl of special k and two slices of ww white danish toasted n light margarine. Yum! Lunch is going to be a bacon sarnie i think. Yum Yum. Then for dinner I am planning on having oven cooked chicken drumsticks with pasta and roasted garlic pasta sauce. This adds up to about 18-20 points. Leaving me 6-8 to use if need be.
I'm finding it easy so far but saying that. I have only been up since 8:00. and it is only 10:00.
*sigh*

Fat Club: Meeting 1.
Just got back from my first WW (aka fat club) meeting. I am officially obese! lol. I shouldn't laugh really as I know it's probably seriously affecting my body being this fat. I weighed in today at 17st 9.5lb. WOW! My 5% loss target is 16st 11lb which I am meant to hit by week 20. Personally I think I am going to do that easy. It's only 12.5lb. If I lost 3lb a week I could out-do it in a month. On a serious note though I think it might be hard giving up the pop and sweets. I have such a sweet tooth but I am hoping I can resist temptation. We'll see. I will be posting a day by day record of my meals from now on so you guys can tell me where I am going wrong if I do and also for me to keep a track and see what weeks worked. I have just had a toasted tea cake smothered in low fat spread but that’s ok because I don't really start till tomorrow :) More from me tomorrow. Time to get my nose stuck in these books I think.
Day 1 of blogging.
Ok so here we go again. I say that in reference to a couple of different things I'm thinking about right now. Well 2 things actually. Blogging and Dieting!
I have blogged before and I am not a very good blogger to be completely truthful. Those of you that know me will already be aware of that and those of you that don't will soon realize the truth behind that statement. Most of the time a lot of it is spelt wrong, is dull and written when I am tired and should be in bed. I was an avid fan of Yahoo360 before it closed down and found it a great place to catch up on what other people were up to and also let people know what was happening in my life but alas all good things come to an end and it is now a distant memory. So I tried blogging here. But somehow it didn’t quite take off. I don't know if that was because I had stuff going on in my life or if I didn't really have much to blog about. I can't remember but I'm guessing it’s probably because I have never really given it chance to grow on me. I'm one of those people who either like something immediately and get hooked or just forget about giving it a shot. 3rd time lucky this time I'm hoping. I like to blog. It gets things out of my head and put into a place where I can come back and think about it later.
On to dieting. Tonight I am going to a Weight Watchers meeting at my local Church. Now I have tried dieting many times before but unfortunately I have zero will power and generally fall off the wagon after a month or two. I have been to Weight Watchers twice before (you can't really count the 2nd time as I only went once). I have tried dieting tablets (yucky side effects). Tried the Slimming World diet without success and I have even tried the Pink Patches (worked but were too expensive imo) this time I am adamant about doing it till I hit MY ideal weight. I emphasize MY because I want to be 15 and half stone or there about. I don't want to be thin and skinny right now. I like carrying a bit of weight. I was thin after having my first child and looking back on pictures I looked very ill. I have no recollection of whether I was healthy or not but I just looked awful. I would rather look healthy and be happy. I'm not unhappy with my weight but I don't love the spare tires and bingo wings and the size of my bum is a joke to be honest. But I don't avoid mirrors or anything like that. I sort of feel like well it's there so get used to it. I need to get out of that! I need to recognize it's not good for me. So I will try and wobble it off and eat right and hope that it works. I'm sure there is more blogs to come regarding my weight and my battle with fat so enough about that for now.
