Advice for the PrawnchopSuey

Congratulations on a fab loss :) I sometimes think being away does us good in terms of results on the scales as it shakes up your routine etc which jolts the body into a good loss - it certainly worked for you !!! Wow the cathedral looks great, lots of body magic :)
 
Excellent loss!! And nommy food :D Welcome back too.xx
 
Still can't quite believe it! Onwards and downwards it is! :)

:) Wednesday - green

Breakfast - banana

Lunch - tomato mugshot, ryvita and philidelphia (HexB x 2), 2 rice cakes (2 syns)

Snacks - 2 pears, apple, mullerlight, half kitkat chunky (6.5 syns), kit kat (5.5 syns), half an easter egg (? syns, but surely takes me over the day's allowance...oops)

Dinner - BNS stuffed with red onion, spinach and goat's cheese (HexA)

Re-started the SHRED last night so completed day 1 and then did a gym ball workout DVD.

Got up nice and early to complete day 2 this morning so back into the routine I hope! Hoping to get to the gym when I get in from work this evening for some cardio as well.
 
Uh oh the chocolate monster reared it's head yesterday then!
Mmm that stuffed BNS sounds lovely...

Congrats on doing 2 days of shred - you've managed to get on it straight away which is fab!
 
I know, me and bloody chocolate...

:) Thursday - green

Breakfast - apple, pear

Lunch - leftover stuffed squash (HexA for goat's cheese), ryvita and philidelphia (HexB x 1.5), 2 rice cakes (2 syns)

Snacks - apple, pear, mullerlight, velvet crunch (4.5 syns) tin of sweetcorn

Dinner - spaghetti carbonara (HExA for parmesan) with leek and peas
Fromage frais and sweetener
Other half of easter egg eaten last night!

OH was meant to finish work at 7pm so I was trying to wait for him before cooking. But cos I'd been to the gym I was starving and so had loads of snacks. Ended up eating at about 8.30 because OH still wasn't home and I wasn't going to sit around waiting all night. Grrr, it annoys me because I know he can't help having to stay late but I need to be able to stick to a routine to be able to stick to plan properly.
Burned 335kcal at the gym though :)

And completed day 3 of the shred this morning :)
And I will be having AH lentil dhal this evening for tea which I'm looking forward to already, nice and quick after a session at the gym methinks!
Can't wait for a lie-in tomorrow :)
 
That's a pain - I know a mess up in my routine always leads me to temptation...
Maybe it's worth cooking something re-heatable on nights he's working later... I hate cooking twice so would do the same as you and wait but luckily for me the latest DH finishes is 6pm.
 
PS - congrats on shred and gym!!
 
:) Friday - green

Breakfast - 2 apples

Lunch - leftover pasta carbonara (HexA)

Snacks - 2 pears, apple, fibre plus bar (HexB), 2 chocolates (6 syns)

Dinner -AH lentil dhal- yum!

335kcal burned at the gym :)

Scales are saying 1lb off but I have a couple of meals out this weekend so won't hold my breath for Monday.

Have a nice weekend :)
 
Hey back on plan and looking good! Your stuffed BNS in the week sounds lovely, a great idea, I'll be pinching !!!

Where are you eating out ? Are you able to stay on plan or are you flexi synning ? Oddly I seem to be ok eating out (sometimes) its times when I'm in the house alone that it all slips up.

Enjoy the weekend :)
 
Well, the weekend didn't go especially well, but then it could have been worse as well.

On the downside, I have picked up a stinking cold and am now in bed feeling very sorry for myself and don't want to think about work tomorrow :(

Saturday - green

Breakfast - banana

Lunch - pasta with tomato-based sauce and pepperoni (at Pizza Express)

Dinner - BNS and marscapone ravioli with sage butter, half a 'Chocolate Nemesis' (in ASK)
3 vodka and diet cokes

:) Sunday - green

Lunch - vegetable moussaka (pub lunch - HexA for cheese, HexB for chargrilled wholemeal pitta)

Dinner - SW three bean chilli with grated cheese (HexB)

So today has been OK food-wise - I feel too crap to do the shred though. Saturday wasn't brilliant... OH encouraged me to have dessert, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't feel so guilty! But I chose pasta dishes over pizza, had no bready starter or accompaniments, and stuck to vodka and diet coke instead of lager, so i think I made the best of the situation.
Had a look at the scales this evening and think I will be facing a 1lb gain tomorrow. A bit gutted but there have been a LOT of meals out in the past week...
 
Hi hun, sorry to hear you're not feeling very well, how you feeling today? Also.... loving the drop in your stats since I've been away, way to go girl. How is your leg now too? xx
 
Hi Lou!

Yep, I had been messing about since Christmas but have finally got my head back in the game. 13 weeks until my holiday and I want to be in a bikini by then - aiming for another 10lbs off, so should be doable :).

Leg seems to be better thank you, although I have been avoiding exercise that involves any impact, sticking to rowing / cross trainer. And the 30 day shred which I recommend whole-heartedly! Even if I haven't done it for a couple of days now, I think dragging myself out of bed on a morning to work out really did help my losses last week and the week before.

Well, I feel rough as a badger's bottom this morning, have dragged myself into work but not feeling very focused.
The only thing that has helped matters is weighing in and finding I am another lb down. In fact, the number on the scales was in the 160s for the first time EVER!! 169.6 but hey, that's still in the 160s!!

Going to aim for 1.6lbs off this week, which will bring me to bang on 12 stone. Not sure it's feasible if I don't get myself to the gym and get back into the shred, but we'll see... I have no excuses not to be 100% foodwise this week so onwards and downwards :)
 
Well done on the loss - that's fab.
And you've done really well on your meals out - you've still considered what you're eating and used your HEXs, so I'm sure you can be forgiven for a cheeky half dessert!

Sorry to hear you're feeling poo - hopefully (in the nicest possible way) it's one of those bugs which leaves you off your food rather than in a 'I need to eat anything I can get my hands on mood' and hopefully it won't last long either...
 
Thanks hun, at the moment I have a snot headache and can't taste anything so it's not leading me to eat anything naughty, that would just be a waste!! It's not taken away my appetite either though, which I guess is good as I won't mess my metabolism up by not eating for a few days.

Plan for today is:
Lunch - leftover mixed bean chilli
Snacks - ryvita and philidelphia
Dinner - baked beans and cheese
Other snacks - fruit

It's just as well I don't get poorly very often, I feel very sorry for myself!! :)
 
I'm the same - I'm such a baby when I'm ill... again I'm glad it doesn't happen often!
Food sounds perfect though - nice and comforting
 
Hey well done on your loss this week :) Thats brilliant and so close to the magic 12 too.

(((((I hope you start to feel better soon))))
 
Thank you! I am feeling a bit better this evening compared to yesterday so hopefully the worst is over. Got lip balm smeared all over my nose as it's gone all pink and sore from all the nose-blowing. Nice.

:) Monday - green

Lunch - leftover bean chilli with brown rice

Snack - ryvita with philidelphia (HexB x 2)

Dinner - alphabetti spaghetti with cheese (HexA x2)
mini flake (3.5 syns)

All on plan, so a good day. I didn't fancy much fruit and veg though so have eaten a load of stodge! Hopefully it will dry the snot out ;)
 
Absolutely fab work on another 1lb! You are flying now! :bunnydance::bunnydance:

Hope the horrible cold does one soon and you are back fighting fit! - and a massive well done for staying on plan even when poorly! now that is dedication!!! :D :D
 
Glad you're feeling better - that's fab news.
Mmm alphabetti spaghetti I might have to get myself some of that...
