Not feeling very positive today and I am all bloated and according to the scales have put on 2lb since yesterday morning :(
My weight doesn't usually fluctuate during the week so this is bad news for next WI I think. Did slendertone and Steps aerobics DVD but didn't really enjoy it and just feel generally quite sluggish and bleurgh. Like a big fat slug.

Let's hope I find a bit more motivation tomorrow or else I don't think I'll be seeing that spin class any time soon... ;)
 
Sorry you're feeling yucky - it's horrible when that happens.
I'm sure you'll recover in time for WI - remember - that Club 10 will be yours!!
Also I'm super impressed that you still managed to do the DVD when you feel yucky !!
 
Thanks Sarah, it was a bit of a half-hearted attempt at the DVD to be honest, but still, better than nothing.
I'm not doing ANYTHING this evening. Lazy me :)

Curly wurly (6 syns)

Done my slendertone session but can't be bothered doing any exercise tonight....
 
Aww matey, its not like you to be unbothered (is that a word?), Don't let the sneak peak projection(2lb) get you off track, your going great guns. Although saying that, a couple of "lazy" (although I hardly think your lazy) days won't hurt. xxx
 
Thanks my lovelies! I hope I'll get to Club 10 on Monday but the scales are all over the shop this week so I'll just cross my fingers, stick to plan and hope for the best.
Think maybe I'm just too tired to be digging the exercise this week. OH's working 5 til 5 this week instead of 9-5, which is great for him as it's overtime and he'll earn more etc., but since I don't get in from work 'til gone half five I don't see him on an evening. So when he gets in at 5am and comes to bed, I'm all like 'rabbit rabbit rabbit' and end up awake from then on. Which is pretty unusual for me, usually I just turn over and ignore him when he gets in from work!!
And I do like my sleep :)

:) Thursday - green

Breakfast - banana and pear mid-morning

Lunch - leftover pasta and veg sauce, 2 babybel lights (HexA)
apple

Snack - fibre plus (HexB)
pear

Dinner - quorn sausages (fried in oil - HexB!), a mountain of mashed potato, peas and gravy (3 syns)
bag of chocolate buttons (4 syns)
fat free fromage frais with sweetener and honey (2 syns?)

Total syns: 9

Dragged myself to Aqua aerobics tonight. Wasn't very inspired by the gum-chewing teenager taking the class, but I did like these dumbells they had that are made out of float material (polystyrene stuff) - light as a feather but really tough to move around under the water!
Didn't feel it was much of a cardio workout but hopefully it's done some good for the bingo wings!

Right, I'm off to bed, thank goodness it's nearly the weekend and time for a lie-in...:)
 
I went to aqua aerobics a couple of times with my sister and even though it was fun, neither of us felt like we got any benefit from it. We didn't get out of breath and there was no muscle achage at all. Got a better workout from the 30min swim I did afterwards :p Hope your class was a bit better than ours!!

Oh an honey is 1 syn per level tsp :) I love honey!!
 
... Might be more like 4 syns for the honey then :whistle:

:kitty: Took kitty to the vets last night for his annual boosters and healthcheck and thought of you Kelly! He was such a good boy (the cat, not the vet...) but vet has said he's getting a bit porky - like mother like son :eek:
 
I used to lurve aqua aerobics but its pretty much died a death round these ere parts...
 
Thank you everyone!! I love logging in here and seeing that you lot are supporting me, that way I know I can't sneak a 5-twix binge into my diary and get away with it ;)

:) Friday - green

Breakfast - apple and banana mid-morning

mini milk (1.5 syns)

Dinner - fried eggs, heinz spaghetti and SW cheesy chips (HexA) - YUM
Chocolate buttons (4 syns)

Played badminton tonight and won of course ;)
 
How were your cheesy chips? They're going to be my Friday night treat next week.
Congrats on winning badminton (again)!!
 
Cheesy chips were fab!! Can't believe it's diet food :)
Cake would go down a treat too Donna, but I can't bring myself to do any baking as it tastes so much better fresh and I would end up eating terrible amounts ;)

:) Saturday - green

Brunch - scrambled egg on toast (2 x HexB) with onion relish (1.5 syns)

Dinner - mixed bean chilli with cheese (HexA)
mini Caramel (4 syns)
mini chomp (3 syns)

Total syns: 8.5

Went shopping today and found a massive bag of fun-size Cadbury bars (all between 55 and 80 calories, so 3-4 syns). Am very excited as there's Crunchie and Caramel amongst others and I haven't had them in so long!! A bit sad but can't wait to much my way through them ;)

Played squash this morning with OH and won one match and lost one.
 
Lots of our neighbours are elderly and leave food out to attract cats for company. I think our Rufus has a all-you-can-eat buffet every day bless him :)

:) Sunday - green

Breakfast - lie-in

Lunch - pasta with roasted veg & tomato sauce (at Pitcher and Piano in York.... going to say HexA + HexB plus 3 syns??)

Snacks - 2 hotel chocolat chocolates (?? syns - they give them away free as tasters in the shop and I could hardly say no to that!)
Bit of tablet honey and caramel chocolate (uh oh...more syns!)

Dinner - veg stirfry, noodles and tuna steak (HexB)

Total syns: Probably 20 or so...

Went into York today and met up with a couple of friends I don't see very often. Did try to make a good choice for lunch but my goodness that chocolate was good!
Let's hope it doesn't wreck WI tomorrow!!! :)
 
Ooooh, I also picked up a £7 slow cooker from ASDA last week. Haven't used one before but was overwhelmed by the positive reviews of them on here and thought that for £7 it doesn't matter if I only use it a couple of times. Got a Hamlyn 200 slow cooker recipes book for about £3 from Amazon so now I'm good to go.

Have put a cajun red bean soup on to brew overnight which will make a quick tea to reheat tomorrow evening - well, hopefully, if all goes according to plan / the recipe :)

Have also planned a slow-cooked sweet potato curry for Friday night - hopefully this will give me a kick up the backside with regards to variety as I tend to have the same few favourite dishes over and over...
 
I usually count Hotel Chocolat chocs as 3 syns coz that's what my friend used to count them as. I do sometimes say 4 if they're big ones :)

I absolutely love York! Me and the Mothership will be coming up for the St Nicholas Fayre in November. Yup, we're those tourists :p I do try and get to York a couple of times a year tho, it's such a lovely place. Glad you had a good day.xx
