RIGHT.
Diary title change needed!!! Best friend's wedding - 28th June. That's 20 days!! Almost 3 weeks, in which I could easily lose a decent amount and tone the eff up. I've just confessed on the Team Shreddies thread to having done 8 mins of Shred L1 D1 and then giving up. I just stopped in the middle of a jumping jack in the cardio section of the first circuit and growled at Jillian, pressed eject on my laptop and put the CD back inside my diary in my bag where it's been for the past two months.
It's also her birthday today, and she's getting Islamically wed later this afternoon, so I went round last night with presents... Her mum gave me a HUGE bag of fruit on the way out, I'm talking like, 10 bananas, 10 apples, a big big big bag of grapes, and a couple of peaches, pears and pomegranates. So I came home and ate Lady A style, a banana and an apple with a cup of tea that used my milk that I measured yesterday morning (when I decided I was going to behave myself and get back on SW, but this was before my friends called me and declared that they were lost without me and seriously needed my help to get presents, quick, so we ran around town for about five hours, and only briefly stopped for a loo break and to grab meal deals from Boots). And today, so far, it's gone like this:
1 small slice wholemeal toast with refried beans and mushrooms
Tea with HExA milk and sweetener
and I'm about to eat a banana. I know red days would whoosh the pounds off but I get terrible carb deficiency headaches. I could use HExB2 for pasta/rice/potatoes but I'm not used to measuring them... I think the key is going to be superspeed soup, or atleast my version, which will require a mid-week shopping trip to Asda, which I guess I could do when I go to the post office... And then I can make loads of soup and freeze it in bags. If I had soup for lunch every day between now and then, or atleast 4-5 days a week, I reckon I could lose a bit
Been back at 9st2lb for a while now, not losing or gaining, I guess losing 0.5lb a week paid off! I can feel my jeans getting a bit tighter round my thighs, but they've always been big... Supposed to be resting my ankle for another week but would really like to get stuck into C25K, esp as my brother is now wanting to rid himself of a bit of poundage. First he said 'I want to stop eating after 7pm'. Then it was 'I want to run atleast a mile every day'. Last night he came out with 'Running doesn't do anything, it's useless, I'm going to eat fruit spaced out during the day and do a minimum of 100 ab crunches per day and a minimum of 1000 per week', to which I said 'Eat vegetables too, fruit has a lot of natural sugars, and running is not useless, you can change your routine every week and shock your body'. I've not said anything about the crunches but will get him out for a run after he's had his tuition, try and download a C25K playlist onto his phone...
Wow, didn't realise how much I'd written! Quick fill in on other things then - been redecorating the house, well, dining room, back room, front room, hallway and mum's room, so I've had a really sore back and knees cause I was doing all the cutting (when you paint all the edges and corners neatly so the big spaces can be filled in with a roller quickly) and therefore was either stretching up to the ceiling to paint around the coving, or crawling along to floor to do around the skirting. Had very little sleep for three days, and now my brother is back to school, so it's early mornings again with lots of shouting and fighting. Had a haircut which was MUCH needed, it's been pretty much all one length since Dec, with one layer I think, while it was falling out... I'm not thrilled with it as I remembered the reason why I'd been putting off getting layers put back in again for so long (trying to get a visa for my dad's dad to come visit from India and good Muslim girls aren't supposed to have short hair) but I remembered a week later. It's not tooooo short now, I kept the length and had a cm trimmed, but cause my hair is quite volumised, the layers bounce up and make it look shorter than it is... My fringe is now the other way! Much appreciated change, but it is flick-back-able, so I can go left or right depending on who I want to be
What else, what else... Quick messages for lovely readers!!
Aisha - I like your idea but whatever name you pick, it'll have to be repeated five times along with a really bad sound effect... and you wouldn't be able to dishum/patish anyone, you'd have to miss by like five feet but get them to fall dramatically to the floor...
why_d - What is wrong with you and I?! We're happier when we're losing, right? So then why are we being such flops?
Jen - I keep stalking your diary regularly but my damn phone won't let me post anything, this text box goes grey and if I tap into it, it shuts down my wi-fi on my phone :sigh:
Meli - I still have two boxes left, minus one bar
I might go stock up again later, if they still have them! I know what you mean about one bar leading to a mountain of goodies... Self control is very much lacking right now!
Sum - Thanks hun, I'm glad the docs didn't just tell me to keep taking paracetamol! Mum was saying we might come down to see you guys soon, inshaAllah, but the idea has just been thrown into the air now so nothing's decided or final, far from it! But hopefully, fingers crossed! It's been 17 years since I came to Swindon :|
Anyone else who wants a message - leave your name and I'll get back to you
