Ruth’s Diet Diary – Thursday September 3rd 2009

Well last night was my ‘weigh in’ and thank God I didn’t put any weight on… (I actually lost half a pound this week)

It’s my own fault really, because it should have been more, but I went to Leeds & Creamfields Festivals last weekend, and somehow I don’t think Strongbow, Sausages and white rolls did my weight loss any favours.

To be honest, I anticipate a massive gain, and a shameful telling off at the meeting this week, but I breathed a sigh of relief when I was let off the hook… however, I was a little bit mad at myself because I was hoping to get my ’Half A Stone’ award this week, but the fury at not getting it yesterday has only made me more determined to bag it next week.

There was a girl there though who has lost half a stone in two weeks… whereas I haven’t even been able to manage it in a month… grr! So the gym is my new best friend this week. I’m going to hit it like a woman on a mission – operation Goddess body here I come!

I know I’m having a bit of a moan, but I love it really, the amount of ‘free’ food you can eat is amazing, and on the Extra Easy plan you’re allowed to take the lowest Syn value of everything you eat… so if some pasta is 24 syns on the Original Plan but only 2 Syns on the Green Plan, then you take it as 2 syns… Brilliant.

I spend most of my day eating actually… fruit (the super foods of course), crabsticks and black coffee get’s me through the day (mixed with the occasional spell on Facebook’s Restaurant City – that’s where I get my pizza’s & chips!

Fingers crossed for next week guys! We’re picking our ‘woman of the year’ next week too, so that should inspire me even further when I see how far my fellow members have come, and we’re also having a ‘tasting’ night too, where I’m hoping I can get some great recipes… as I still cant cook to save my life!
