So how much did I lose on the Military Diet?  4lbs and it could have been more if I hadn't caved in last night and had champagne.  I still had tuna salad and ice cream.  Next attempt will be when Monsieur Smith goes to France in May.

So my really real following SW to the letter week starts here and now.  I have to write a food diary.  Boring.  I will make it jolly, with pics.

Chai latte - I thought was a low cal thingy but actually is 24 syns on SW.  Must look into making own version.   5 syns for the powdered one.  I will do well this week.

Thank you military diet.  I am now back to where I was last week, phew.

My Friday binge which led into Saturday was very damaging to both body and mind.  Better now.

It is that same old five pounds being chased round and round.  Thinking of joining the military - the military diet.  Looks ghastly.

Bad Friday.  No, I mean really really awful Friday.

Vegan days pay off.
Toying with the idea of the Military Diet.  May 9-11
In the meantime I will try not to pile the same old 5 lbs straight back on.
Hooray, vegan over - eggs for breaker.

I am quite unwell.  That is to say I am compulsively eating and my drinking is out of control.  I am borderline alcoholic with very little control.  No more booze says I then I have another glass the moment Mr Smith comes home.  I am also eating every hour or so.

So here is my strategy for today

3 meals
1 snack (tea time)
Stay busy

I am not sleeping.  Awake at 3/4am then tired all day.  I am sweaty.  I am very fat.  I can feel a pain in my chest.  I have some bladder control issues.  I am in a mess.  I need tlc and less food.

I thought a weekend alone would be so good for me to sort myself out but after the previous weekend of massive production and efficiency it all caved in.  I achieved very little.  I did swim which was lovely and made me feel good.  I have new hair which I totally love.  I cleaned my bedroom and sparkled the kitchen.  Much better.  I made two patchwork squares, yet to finish one.  I got out a big patchwork for quilting.  I will try to get it pinned, tacked, sandwiched together.  Then at least I have done something rather than faffed about achieving nothing.  I also have a painting on the go which is sort of lacking direction somehow.

So here is what I want to achieve by Friday.

3 lb weight loss
10 patchwork squares all done
Painting half done
A lovely Wednesday
A quilt top all together.

Yeah!

Horrid March

I hurt my back so turned into a big fat blob.  Weight 170.  Bread eaten 14 loaves.  Wine drunk 60 bottles.

I put on 4lbs last week due to no exercise and overeating and no fat club and being lazy, greedy and drunk.  So it will be healthy eating from today.

1. Fridge clear out.
2. No more bread.
3. No booze.
4. Or crisps.

So it has to be three meals with no grazing for me today.  I need a swim.  I need a walk.  I need some exercise.

Today's plan.  Dog walk. Swimming early. Visit mother in law. Do some painting.  More dog walk.  Watch super crappy tv and sew.  Good plan.  Food will be slotted in accordingly.
