Carolyn has so many things on this month she's worried she
won't lose any weight...
Carolyn's Diet Diary For June
"Its going to be a challenge to lose weight at all in June...
weekend away, daughters birthday, Isle of Wight Festival,
husbands birthday.. must try to keep on track..."
May 29th
Weekend away with a Brazilian friend in York. A great time,
York is a lovely city. Did lots and lots of walking and then
she cooked me a delicious Brazilian meal (some of which I had
to guess at in the food diary as I have never seen it before).
Definitely ate far too much but it was so different spicy but
not too hot. At least the walking balanced it out.
OK - I have to admit that we had a cream tea at Betty's but
I only had 1 scone and it just had to be done.....
May 31st
Bank Holiday and had my parents over to visit. Cooked a 3
course low fat meal for us all (homemade vegetable soup & baby
homemade wholemeal rolls, marinated tuna or lentil bake with
veggies and fresh red berry fruit salad in a filo pastry nest
with low fat yoghurt) and no-one noticed that it was low fat.
In fact they all said how lovely it was. First time in ages
I've gone all out and got the "posh" plates out of the
cupboard and really enjoyed the day.
1st June
11 stone 10 - somehow 2lbs have gone this week
5th June
Have had a very good week all week, have run on the
treadmill 3 times and am on schedule for the Race for Life,
played badminton and have walked the dog every day. All in
build up for today which is my daughters 17th birthday and we
are having a party to celebrate. This year we have so much to
celebrate... Took her out for a shopping spree and came back
pounds lighter (by this I mean the £ type!!) How can a 17 year
old need so many clothes and things and how can she take so
long trying on clothes??? We had a barbeque in the evening.
Lots of salads, lots of fruit and lots and lots of fun. Has to
be one of the best days I've had in years - surrounded by my
family and all of us happy and healthy.
6th June
Took eldest daughter (who is staying for the weekend) to
the local market which (thankfully) didn't cost too much and
we visited my Mum who was exhibiting at a craft fair. Nearly
didn't make it as had an accident this morning with the dog
who pulled me over trying to chase another dog. This is a
disadvantage of losing weight - I don't have the weight any
more to hold the dog back if she gets spooked. I am covered in
bruises and scrapes from being pulled across the pavement and
did I get any sympathy from the old man - no!!!
7th June
11 stone 8 so another 2lbs lost. Am really stiff today and
the bruises from yesterday are developing impressively. The
thing that most upsets me is that when I fell over, I ripped
my new (size 14) jeans across the knee. My daughters tell me
that its trendy but these were my "feel good" jeans...
9th June
Bad day today - grazes and bruises still hurt - can't run
as it still hurts and feel really fat and down. We're going
away to the Isle of Wight festival this weekend and I have
nothing to wear. Ended up comfort eating.
11th - 13th June
Isle of Wight Festival and had a brilliant, brilliant time.
OK so the diet wasn't particularly good (managed to exceed my
daily allowance on both Friday and Saturday in beer alone -
but reckon that at festivals its watered down so maybe not too
bad!!). Lots of dancing and got right to the front to see
David Bowie (my all time favourite artist). Food wise it was
actually pretty good for veggies (the tofu burger & felafal
were superb) and the weather was excellent (and I have the
sunburn to prove it) Hubbie enjoyed it but has stated that he
will never go again.....
14 June
11 stone 6 (don't believe this after the weekend but didn't
chance getting on the scales a second time to check - just
took the first reading!)
21 June
11 stone 3 A really good week this week. Lots and lots of
running and have managed to not drink all week (except for a
couple of vodkas when a girlfriend and I went out on Friday)
and have stuck to the healthy eating all week. Have struggled
to eat the exercise calories in total but have averaged over
500 exercise calories a day. Its weeks like this that I need
to keep on going.
24 June
Husband's birthday and football. He decided that watching
the match was the number one priority rather than celebrate
his entry into middle age (he was 35) so we trooped to the
local with my eldest daughter and her friend who were down for
the weekend. Had rather too much to drink and ended up getting
a take away. Note to myself: DO NOT GO TO THE PUB STRAIGHT
FROM WORK EVER AGAIN ON A WORK NIGHT WITHOUT EATING.
25th June
Feel awful and have to go to Birmingham for a meeting.
Ate/Drank over double my calorie allowance yesterday.
28th June
11 stone 2. Made up for Thursdays excess with lots of
exercise over the weekend and managed to lose 1lb. Am now
feeling really positive and have learned that one day of
complete excess does not ruin the whole healthy
eating/exercise/losing weight programme. Don't even feel
guilty now as we had such a good night out (except of course
for the result!)
Have managed to get through June and have lost 8lbs. Must
say that I'm very pleased with that.
