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

Thanks KB :) I slept better last night, so I feel slightly more human than I did yesterday!
Work isn't any better, in fact the atmosphere is very tense at the moment, but I suspect that will continue for a while yet. In the meantime, I'm just keeping my head down, minding my own business and plodding on as best I can.

My friend text me earlier to see if I wanted to go out tonight, providing she can find a babysitter. If not, I'll just go round to hers for a few vodkas. Either way, a good old drink feels like just what I need at the moment!!

Sounds like a plan. The answer to all our problems may not be found in the bottom of a vodka bottle but that's not going to stop me looking. :drunk:
Have a great night.

Hellooooo,
Well it's been a busy weekend! I had a really good time on Friday night - loads of vodka and a bit of dancing! It was just what I needed to blow the week's cobwebs away. Needless to say, I was a bit rough yesterday but probably not as bad as I deserved to be!
Yesterday was good too, although I was staaaarving all day (you know how it is when you've got a hangover!) In fact, I nearly gave in and went to the chippy, but I managed to control myself and settled for a healthy-ish curry instead.

I know I went over my calories and fat but not as bad as I wanted to!:

Half a back of wafer thin ham (doesn't everybody start the day off like this!!)
Porridge with raisins
Tuna salad with a dutch crispbread & Philadelphia light
Oatybar
Box of raisins (40cal)
Tesco veg curry (220ish cals)
Wild mushroom rice (300ish cals)
Healthy option naan bread (340cals)
WW choc brownie ice cream (160cals)

So as you can see, not the best day, but it could've been worse if I'd gone to the chippy or dialled for a pizza!!

Today has been better. I've had salad with a pastry-free quiche for lunch (a slimming world recipe), but I'm off for a carvery in a few minutes and I'm bound to pile my plate high!! I know all the veg is OK but I love the roasties!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend xx
 
hey hunny good to see ya had afab weekend! life is for living at as you say its not as bad as it could have been!

xxxxxxxxx
 
I :heartpump: dime bar cheesecake! Mmmmmmm :)
Luckily the don't serve it at the carvery I went to. If they did, I'd probably still be there lying on the floor like a beached whale!
Why do I eat so much!? My stomach is still growling and gurgling now from last night, and I have a feeling I might be having a visit from the Tango man later.
Damn those roasties!
 
I think he may be paying a visit here too. Never mind, maybe that will teach me not to be greedy. I didn't reply to you about the Just Dance game, simply because I've only had a brief go at it. I'll let you know more when I've had more of a chance to use it. Have a great day.

Today's been OK on the food front, but I've felt really dodgy - got really bad trapped wind/indegestion from that carvery and I've been knackered all day after waking up at 4.30am and not being able to get back to sleep :(
I even left work early because of the pains in my stomach. Well, that sounds a bit more dramatic than it actually was - I decided to use some time owing because my stomach hurts and I wanted to come home and lay out on the sofa!

Here's yesterday's food diary:
2 Danish crispbread with Philadelphia light
SW 'quiche' made with cottage cheese, eggs, bacon, leeks and mushrooms
Side salad & left-over rice from the night before
MASSIVE carvery dinner - pork, crackling, carrots, leeks in cheese sauce, yorkshire pud, about 10 roasties, swede, a few chips, and gravy!

I know that most of the veg was OK but I really went to town on the roasties, and I shouldn't have had crackling! Never mind....hopefully I can undo the damage by Wednesday!
 
ooooh carvary sounds yummmy! glad u had a fab weekend hun!

Life is for living you just have to knuckle down the rest of the time hehe!

hope u had a fab monday an work wasnt too bad!

Hi Alex, hope you're having a good day. Wanted to let you know, I've tried Just Dance today properly and I don't think I could recommend it at all. There seems to be no "path" to follow, they don't tell you what to do next or show you the best way, you have to make it up as you go along. Add to this the fact that it only seems to pick up a quarter of the movements you make, making scores very low and I think I may be heading for a trade in to something else tomorrow. Hope that helps,

PS If there had been cheesy leeks at my carvery I'd still be there, I'd have to be surgically removed from them.
 
Thanks for letting me know about the Wii game, I'd heard mixed things about it, but I think I'll give it a miss. The main thing that put me off in the first place is that you don't know how many calories you're burning off (as far as I know, considering it's a game rather than a dedicated fitness thing). I know it shouldn't be like this but I like to see how many calories I'm burning so that I can 'offset' it against something I've eaten or want to eat!

I haven't been on my Wii for ages now actually - my brother has lent me an exercise bike so I'm trying that out sporadically at the moment!

Yesterday and today have been pretty good on the food front, although I've nibbled a bit more than I should've. I'll post both days' worth now, seeing as I've almost finished eating for today :)

Yesterday:
Porridge
Tomato soup with 2 small slices of bread
Oatybar
Small slice of SW quiche
2 Dalepak vegetable grills
Jacket spud with a tiny little bit of butter
Mini milk lolly

Today:
Porridge
Snack sized box of raisins
Beans on toast
Alpen light bar
About a third of an apple (it wasn't very nice)
Small slice of SW quiche
WW beef in black bean sauce with extra stir-fried veg
And I'm just about to have a WW chocolate brownie ice cream

I think the beans were a bad idea after my dodgy tummy yesterday :eek: ....(sorry if TMI!!)

Weigh in day tomorrow :cross:
 
goood luck hun xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you! x

Well I weighed in this morning, and I lost 2.75lbs. Not bad, in fact if it was any other week I'd be really happy with that. It's just that I put 2lbs on last week, so I was hoping to lose that, and at least another lb or two.
Doctors appointment next week and I've only lost 0.75lbs since I last went, so I need to get my finger out big time this week!!!
 
ALEX!! Carvery, roasties, cheesy leeks, mean anything to you?? And you STILL lost 2.75 pounds and you're complaining?? Well done, give yourself a big pat on the back and get on with it, good for you.
