Alex's Diary - No big goals, just taking one day at a time!

I've decided that I must never buy a bag of sultanas again! I ate the whole bag over the weekend, adding an extra 1500 calories to my total food intake :(
So now I'm feeling really really annoyed with myself, because apart from the sultanas (and the Belgian beers) I've eaten quite healthily this weekend. I just hope I don't see a gain this week....but I'm not too hopeful, especially after the all you can eat Chinese last Wednesday.

Yesterday's food was like this:
Porridge with sultanas
Jacket with extra light tuna mayo, and a tiny dollop of Philadelphia Light cheese
Dorset cereal bar
Musroom risotto (forgot to season it, so not as nice as normal)
WW chocolate brownie ice cream desert
My own body weight in sultanas while standing at the kitchen cupboard :eek:

By the way, I got an interview for the job I applied for a week or so ago! It's this Wednesday at 2pm! It's ages since I went for an interview so I'm going to be soooo nervous!
 
If I ate all those sultanas I would never get off the loo again, not to mention what I would do to the ozone...

:D I was regretting my indulgence a bit last night. Let's just say it's a good job I live alone! :ashamed0005:
 
chinese takeaway never again on oristat.

hi everyone i wont be having a chinese take away ever again i did enjoy it at the time i thought id got away with it on friday i ate chicken curry a few chips and 2 spare ribs hadnt eaten a takeaway for 3 months then yesterday i was so ill just got it out of my system wont be having one again debbie x
 
We've all been there debbie.

I skip taking the tablet for at least that meal (if not the one before it as well) if I know I'm going out for something to eat and might not have a healthy option
 
Heya alex!

gosh its been a hectic weekend for u hasnt it! ha! Hope the leak got fixed! And good luck for tomoz i am sure you will do just fine!

Good luck for ya wi!

missed ya

love katie
 
Thanks Katie, we missed ya too :)
I'm bricking it about the interview tomorrow to be honest! It's been years since I had one, plus I'm up against two members of the team I work with now, so it's not gonna be pleasant!

On a more positive note, I stayed on track yesterday:
Porridge
Birds eye chilli with wedges (265 cals)
Sugar free jelly
Tesco meatballs and spaghetti (405cals) with mixed veg
Another sugar free jelly
Mini Milk lolly

No too bad hey? :) And I'm being good today, in the hope that I might actally lose something tomorrow! You never know!
 
you will be fine hun i promise! :) good nights kip is all ya need!

goood luck

xxxxxxxxxx
 
Thank you xx :)
I'm absolutely bricking it now, but I have to go into a meeting in half an hour so that should take my mind off it for a couple of hours!

Weigh in day today....and I GAINED 2lbs :cry::cry:
I thought I might have got away with a STS but obviously not. Feel gutted about it really, but I took my eye of the ball a bit too much this week and it looks like I'm paying for it now :(
 
ahhhhh how did it go hunny???

ahhh never mind bout the 2lbs! will be off in no time!

xxxxxxxxxx
 
Well it's over!!!!!!
I'm really not sure how it went! I answered all the questions, but I had a couple of mind blanks and I'm not sure if I covered everything properly. God, I hate interviews! You can always think of a better answer to the questions after the interview's finished can't you?!
I've just consoled myself with a french fancy, a chocolate mini roll and 4 pieces of liquorice! At this rate, it won't just be 2lbs I'm gaining!
Anyway, I should find out sometime after 6pm tonight, so keep your fingers crossed! And thanks for your good luck messages x x x

:cry: I didn't get it :cry:
Apparently it was a close run thing, but I was pipped to the post by one of the other applicants. It's kinda nice to know I didn't make a complete arse of myself, but it's not really much consolation when there was only one job available and I didn't get it :mad:
 
aww hun keep ya chin up! It probably doesnt mean anything now but im a beliver of 'you didnt get it is cos theres something better round the corner!' an i mean it in the nicest way hun!

Dont let it gret u down!

hope u r ok

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Alex, so sorry you didn't get it but, as Katie says, what's meant for you won't go past you so on to better things for you! Have a great day,

Thanks you two x
I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps today. Partly because I didn't get the job, and partly because the person who did get the job is a colleague who I share an office with. This is worst case scenario for me, because not only do I feel crap about losing out, but I also have to deal with the aftermath when she leaves (even more work, training someone new, blah blah blah).
Having said that, I do believe that things happen for a reason, so I'll just have to wait and see how things pan out.

So onto yesterday's food. I'm trying to stay on track which is hard for me, especially when I'm upset. Usually I just think sod it and head straight for the pizza menu, but I'm keeping it together so far.

Porridge
Oatybar (just discovered these in Farmfoods)
Beans on toast
French Fancy + Cadbury's Mini Roll + 4 pieces of liquorice (all within the space of half an hour)
Youngs salmon bake (only 266cals and had it on its own as I'd lost my appetite after hearing that I didn't get the job)
WW chocolate brownie desert

Feel so so tired today - I never usually lose sleep over work, but last night everything was just spinning around in my head and I couldn't seem to switch off. Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight and I'll feel more like my normal self tomorrow.
 
Off to bed now, so thought I'd post today's food before I go:

Oatybar
Heinz tomato soup with 2 slices of grainy bread
2 Dalepak vegetable grill things, jacket spud, teaspoon of extra light mayo
WW toffee mini pot ice cream

Night night xxx
