Advice for the PrawnchopSuey

Leg is still not right. But oddly enough it feels better on a cross trainer than just normal everyday walking across the office carpark etc. So it must be the impact that's affecting it. So I've no excuses not to stick to the gym ;)

3lbs off :)

It's the same few pounds that I keep losing and putting back on, but still a good start! Hoping for 2lb off next week :) :)

:bunnydance: :bunnydance: Wahey! Well done on the 3lbs! It looks like you've had a fab week - even the pub meal wasn't too much of a disaster really! We're not hermits so learning to deal with these kind of situations is necessary - and I think you dealt with it fabulously! :D

And Sarah's right - your holiday is definitely the best incentive ever - I am back on track today so hopefully we can keep each other right!!! :)
 
I love those bum-wiggling bunnies!! :)
Yes, I am feeling very determined at the moment, but a bit worried that the determination will leave...
I'll chivvy you on if you the same for me!!! :)

I keep doing the visualisation technique of me all honed and toned in a bikini to try and spur me on. Think my visions are a little optimistic though, not sure I'll look quite like Kelly Brook / Scarlett Johanssen if I lose a few more pounds, but I can keep dreaming ;)
 
Thank you!

:) Monday - green

Breakfast - banana and plum
Lunch - tomato soup, ryvitas and philidelphia (HexB x 2)
Snacks - apple, plum, 2 x mini twix (11 syns)
Dinner - baked sweet potato with baked beans and cheese (HexA)

Stuffed now, and off to bed :)
 
Plan for today:
breakfast - banana, apple, plum
lunch - tomato soup, ryvita, philidelphia (HexB x 2), plum
snacks - apple, mandarin
GYM
dinner - vegetable pasta bake (HexA for cheese)

Going to try and burn some pounds off at the gym tonight too :)
 
Woah - well done on this weeks great loss ! You're doing fab :) Its great to have something to focus on so thinking about your bikini on holidays is bound to keep you on track. Good luck for the coming week!
 
Thank you! I missed you this week but am glad that you haven't fallen off the wagon :)

:) Tuesday - green

Breakfast - banana, plum, apple

Lunch- tomato soup, ryvita, philidelphia (HexB x 2)

Snacks - plum, apple

Dinner - vegetable pasta bake (HexA for cheese)
Fromage frais with honey (4 syns)
Mini twix (5.5 syns)

Went to the gym and burned 330 calories on cross trainer and rowing machine. The music wasn't working at the gym as well so I had to really try hard - it's more difficult without a beat to keep you going I think.
Watching Megamind at the moment, then bedtime for me :)
 
Thank you! I'm definitely going to get at least another 2lb off this week as well, I am determined :)
After that, 1lb a week will be more likely I reckon!!

plan for today:
breakfast - banana and mandarin
lunch - leftover pasta bake
snacks - muller light, apple, plums
GYM
dinner - chicken and spring veg risotto

Trying a new risotto recipe tonight, so saving Hexs for chicken and parmesan. I will let you know how I get on :)

I got a new cook book from the book club at work and am very impressed with it so far:

Healthy Eats Quick and Easy, Proven Recipes Quick and Easy, Proven Recipes Series: Amazon.co.uk: Gina Steer: Books

It's a smallish (but thick) paperback but it has a nice big photo opposite each recipe (which I think is a must in a cookbook) and most of the recipes are really easy to adapt to SW, if they're not already SW-friendly. I made tuna chowder from it at the weekend and chicken and sweet potato curry, and fish and rice roulades, all of which were lovely.
So I'm hoping today's risotto, tomorrow's frittata and Fridays turkey tagine are going to be just as nice!
I just find that sometimes the SW recipes (and I have 4 of the big hardback books as well as the green day and saucy secrets little books) can be a bit samey and you see the same ingredients popping up again and again. This book has been really refreshing and is inspiring me to try out some new SW meals!
 
A pound a week is my aim. My consultant laughs when she asks me what I'd like to lose and I reply that I'd just like to lose anything! I know its a slow and steady journey for me and the key is to just keep going :) Fingers crossed for you this week, but remember its the keeping going that counts!
 
Those recipes sound really good. And although I would like to be a copy cat yet again and get the same book as you, I think my hubby would actually kill me! Especially as we're supposed to be making room for the baby at the moment!

Love your determination - you'll have no probs losing the lbs for your holiday!
 
Thank you Thank you!

Yes I really do feel that this time I mean it, if you know what I mean. I think it's the third proper attempt I've had at getting back on track since Christmas, but I really do feel different and more motivated this time, with my holiday getting ever closer. 18 weeks really doesn't seem long in SW weeks (even if it seems like ages in working weeks ;) ) and I want to feel confident and less wobbly by then.

Next week will be a challenge because I have a week's holiday. Nothing major planned but will no doubt have a few meals out. I will try and make sure I get to the gym as well though to even things out! :)

I will copy recipes out of the book if I am impressed with them and let you have a nosy Sarah. Hopefully your appetite and enthusiasm for cooking will return shortly - first trimester is nearly over!! :)
 
I think it truly does make a difference if your mind is focussed, and you really do sound determined this time!
Oooh enjoy your week off, is it for an occasion or just because you wanted time off?

Recipes would be good... especially the sweet potato and chicken curry if it was nice...
 
WOW! You are going great guns Mrs 100%!! :D :D

I am very impressed! I too am aiming for a 100% week this week! I'm not sure if I've ever actually had a full one - EVER! So this is the week for it!
Are you loving (for want of a better word :p) being back at the gym? You have been burning some serious caloried lady! I haven’t been to Booty since I was ill but I am raring to go tomorrow morning!! The light mornings are going to help a lot I feel!

Hope you have a fab week off - is it just a relaxing week at home? I've booked a lazy week off in April - I love a week off work with no plans! I am sure you will be fine for your meals out - you certainly seem in the right frame of mind! :D
 
Thank you! Got a week of 2010 leave that I never took that I'm cashing in on next week. Going to have a lazy week at home, nothing big planned :)

:) Wednesday - green

Breakfast - banana, mandarin
Lunch - leftover pasta bake (HexA for cheese)
Snacks - 2 plums, kitkat (5.5 syns)
Dinner - Chicken (HexB) and spring vegetable risotto (HexA for parmesan)
Fibre plus bar (HexB)

Burned another 340 kcal at the gym tonight - yes Kat, think we can definitely make it a 100% week :)
 
Go for it ladies with your 100% weeks! I need to try one of those!

Enjoy your week off Prawnchopsuey, a week at home is soooo great :) We've had lots of meals out on our week off but also I have more time to get to exercise classes so it all evens out (hopefully!!).
 
I'm sure it will even out Gobolino!!

:) Thursday - green

Breakfast - banana
Lunch - leftover risotto, plum
Snack - apple, plum, galaxy ripple (9 syns)
Dinner - courgette and thyme tortilla (HexB x 2 for oil - 1 HexB's worth is for lunch tomorrow but I'm counting it in today's menu as I need my HexBs tomorrow for tomorrow's dinner!), spinach, baked beans
mini twix (5.5 syns), kit kat (5.5 syns)

Oops, went over my syns but definitely haven't for the week so it's all OK. Picked up some 1 syn lager at Sainsbury's on the way home for the weekend :)
Watched that Marchlands and was a bit disappointed by the ending...
