Ugh. I fell off the wagon with a major bang this weekend. I'm not even going to bother listing what I ate (stopped tracking on Friday night) but needless to say, I'm WELL over my weeklies, by dozens if not more. I got that "well I've been this bad so I might as well keep going" attitude. Disgusted at myself

I also have my sister's wedding on Friday so it's going to be a looong weekend of celebrations. I don't think I'm going to bother with my WI tomorrow cos I'll possibly be up again next week. I'm just going to work my ass off until the wedding and even then, try to make good decisions over the weekend to try and undo some of the badness of this weekend.

You're not alone. I fell off the wagon big time on Friday and have only pulled myself back onto it today. Just back from 6km walk and outa the shower and feel great. Think I have put on 2lb put am going to go to my meeting anyway and you should too. For me, I know if I don't go, i'll think "ah sure I have a whole extra week, I can have this XXX and this XXX and then be good"... it's a slippery slope. I am going to my dads in Sligo this weekend and there will be a lot of eating and drinking but going to try and make good choices.

Just try and be really good before WI, that's what I am going to try and do. Going to have fruit salad and yoghurt for brekkie tomorrow and wednesday (WI that evening) and salad for lunch and hopefully I will be up only a lb or praying for STS but don't think that will happen.

Confession time ppl

Was really good last night and just had five thorntons chocolates for 9pp while I was watching telly, then the OH went to bed and there was nothing on the telly so I decided I'd make some soup for today, but while the soup was boiling, I had another slice of the lemon meringue pie

:o My one saving grace is that I did track it but it also means that I used 22pp just on two slices of it yesterday :eek::eek:

Have been good today though, got up and went for a 5k walk, then cleaned my windows

I think I'm going to have to throw the pie out though, I can hear it calling me now through the kitchen door. Going to ask the OH if he's going to eat it and if not, it's in the bin - I'll just won't tell my mam

GOOD FOR YOU! It may be heaven on a plate...but you'll kick your self if you have another slice...you'll enjoy it for 2 minutes...but curse your self for the rest of the week. and at least its a family recipe...so its not like you can never have it again

did you tell her you were doing ww? see if you can tweak it and make it a low pp value version

Bernso · 25-04-2011 4:08pm

Hey all,
I drank a heap of vino in me mates garden Saturday and was incredibly hungover yesterday - the biggest challenge situation for me.
Was very close to getting a takeaway but made some oven chips and donegal catch instead with some Dunnes veggi spring rolls to start.
Did make a cheese toastie (ww cheddar) later so I'd say I went over by 10pp or more and considering my weeklies were gone on the vino I couldn't really afford that.
However I got out today and did another hour walk (just under 7 kms) and going to put it behind me. If I didn't sure I'd just eat more crap today.
it's so important to just put the bad days behind and not get caught in that vicious cycle of staying off the wagon because of one fall off.
I toally agree the meetings are vital too as you just tend to eat crap all week and see it as an extra week or something.
Going to treat myself to a nice low point dinner like more dunnes veggie spring rolls (2pp per roll) and then M&S chilli prawns (4pp for a whole pack of King prawns). YUM!!

Lady Lainy · 25-04-2011 4:20pm

Bleh, feeling awful today. Have absolutely no appetite which is probably a good thing after the weekend :rolleyes:

Am way over my points after the booze and hangover food yesterday and then today I have had half a sesame bagel (3pp) and a WW tomato soup (2pp). I feel like I have a lump of cement in the pit of my stomach. Am milling into the green tea and water to try and flush my system out.

sparkydee · 25-04-2011 6:20pm

Well my WI is tomorrow. Am really nervous drank a lot of wine over the weekend plus I went for a Chinese on thursday night:( I had a half bottle of wine with sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. I'm trying to ignore how many PP's were in that!
The only thing im hoping that all the exercise I did in the last week might balance it off. These bank holidays make it hard to keep on track especially with all my family scoffing on Easter eggs around me!

I had such a fab dinner and and my Easter egg...so full! I have about 20 weeklies left too so going to have myself a small mojito...that I have no idea how to point, no-one seems to know

Up early tomorrow for a walk and get at the books, looking forward to a productive day after a lazy weekend

Hey Missit,
I'm a major mojito fan. Points wise depends how ya make them.
They are supposed to be made with soda water 0pp, mint and lime 0pp and then whatever rum you choose so just point each shot of rum and that's it.
I don't add sugar to mine as I love the mint&lime taste but obviously point that if you do. I think it's a pretty good drink points wise compared to others and as it;s a cocktail you feel like you're getting more for it?
Enjoy!

mcb81 · 25-04-2011 7:10pm

just had my first take away since christmas eve - a chinese 3 in 1 with onions absolutely gorgeous, had all my weeklies left so i enjoyed it guilt free.:D

bulmersgal · 25-04-2011 7:50pm

I was bold Fri and Sun but was really good sat and today points wise had some of my dailies left. Went for 6k walk and boxing class so hopefully I'll sts or be down. WI not till Thurs morning so loads of time to eat good and go on loads of extra walks

Lady Lainy · 25-04-2011 8:01pm

just had a mountain of food for dinner and all for 13pp! THIRTEEN!

1 Large Chicken Breast (175g) - 4pp
300g Baby potatos boiled - 6pp
50g frozen corn - 1pp
50g frozen peas - 1pp
Chicken gravy made is 1 table spoon of granules 1pp

I had the chicken breast marinading all after noon in 2 table spoons of dijion mustard, garlic, red onion, black pepper, chili, sea salt, and dash of white wine vinegar. I didnt bother pointing the mustard in the marinade cos nearly all the marinade was thrown out.

the peas and corn were weighed before cooking, while still frozen.

Grilled the chicken on George foreman.

omg mountain of food :O it barly fitted on the plate...THIRTEEN PP...

and my mum just walked in just as i was finishing and asked what smelt so good hehe

misslt · 25-04-2011 9:23pm

Just had a fabulous beef stir fry..6 weeklies left so I might have a sneaky creme egg...thank god I'm weighing in the morning, only way I'll lose anything!

Want my next silver 7 by 9th may, 5lb to go and 2 more WI's...will be tough but I plan to be 300% good next week and the week after! I have so much study to do I wont have time to eat so I should be okay :P

Hope everyone had a good weekend whether or not ye stayed on the wagon

shanasue · 25-04-2011 9:38pm

Hi all,
well I fell off the wagon, hit another one on the way down and fell off that too!!! I did keep the exercise up as much as I could but dont think it will make much diff, feckin easter eggs!!! grrrr so annoyed with myself, I was on WW last easter and didnt have any!!...well it wasnt just the eggs, it was the bbq's and the cold beer and pizza's etc etc etc....done and dusted so no point getting stresses I suppose, just face the scales and make the effort... I think the closer I get to goal the more lenient I get with my food, also people telling me that I look great so it sinks in "ah sure I'm grand now" slippery slope...and I have 13lbs to go plus another few for my own goal...anyway new day tmr...
plus Eircom sucks you forgot me too!!! I PM'd you also...

intouch44 · 25-04-2011 9:44pm

1st weigh in tomorrow am dreading it was so good until Saturday and then yesterday was a disaster and then there was last night and today hasn't been great, I've exercised a lot but I'm so far beyond counting propoints its a joke, gonna go to the weigh in tomorrow anyway and shame myself might encourage to behave a BIT better next wekend!! and going to invest in a calculator

So, so worth it.

Also, do you have a food scales? If not, you should really get one. I find WW impossible to do properly without them. Its also quite shocking to see the real portion sizes we should be eating :P

You need to be careful with these though. I had one for a bit that was underpointing on some things and overpointing on others when I compared it to the WW calculator.
