It’s the final stretch now of Fast Forward, the home run! It’s day 8 and I have until Wednesday to go. The end is in sight! I really started to struggle over the weekend, I think more so because I had time to relax and think about food. This goes back to what I said right at the beginning of this challenge, that I believed it to be psychological and requiring mind over matter. I also struggled because of social situations I found my self in (nights out and a day out with the hubby). I did start to feel really guilty yesterday that we had gone out for the day and were avoiding little coffee shops. If that day out had been on a ‘normal’ day after our walk we would have stopped off for lunch. Sunday evening is always take away night in our house too as it’s the only night of the week we can guarantee we will be off together. Fortunately the hubby is been supportive also put himself on a diet this week.
I had a sneaky peak on the scales this morning. Not great really. They show I have lost 1/2lb. Which following a week on Fast Forward isn’t really anything. I am hoping that’s normal fluctuations Also the fact I seem to be getting bloated from so much bread (you can imagine the results and lack of certain activities, TMI I know lol), even though I am drinking much more than the suggested amount of water on FF. I’m still going to see this out through until Wednesday evening when I jump on the Slimming World scales. I the mean time I think I am going to avoid bread Tuesday and Wednesday and make sure I stick to the unit options that do not have any bread at all. Hopefully this will be possible.
I had been awake quiet a lot of the night with toothache so was quiet tired when I had to get up for work. To start the day I had 2 glasses of water. I had planned on having an apple but just couldn’t eat it due to toothache. As soon as I got to work there was no time to think about food through. I did get to a challenging point mid morning when I had to attend a meeting/ presentation where there were bacon sandwiches and lots of fruit on offer and I had to resist. I even had to resist this huge plate of strawberries! If this as been a normal Slimming World day I could have joined in and eaten the melon, bananas, strawberries and grapes on offer. Fortunately I resisted and got through to lunchtime, which were a chicken sandwich and a banana. Not much, but enough to put me on.
Due to a late finish at work I didn’t have time to grab tea before heading off to cadets, as I was only home 5 minutes. Just enough time to pick up a highlights hot chocolate sachet and a bag of skips (a 1 unit and a 2 unit FF snack). By the time I got home it was quite late and I was definitely ready for tea, which was a low calorie pasta micro meal and carrots.
Before having tea I made the mistake of scale hopping again thanks to this mornings result. Not good. It showed just half a pound off! Gutted. This is day of Fast Forward! You hear of people losing around 5lb at least. These challenge as been really hard and I have stuck to it 100% and even deprived myself in social occasions and turned things down. To loose just that would be a real kick in the teeth. I know that’s not the weigh in that counts though. But it’s just made me feel really down about this now. A tiny loss like that just isn’t worth the 10days I will have out myself through for this! Really need a pick me up now.
