Well I'm back home tucking into my normal breakfast and did jump on the scales to see where I am. Looking at a loss for this week but will wait till tomorrow to see how much. Not as much as it would be had i had control but happy it's in the right direction.
i try to have as much fruit in my bag as possible when others are providing lunch Annie. Does leave me feeling famished at the end of the day though. Was getting by on poached eggs and bacon for breakfast which freed up the bread in a sandwich at lunch.
Got my mum down till Sunday so will get walking her dogs. No sniffle so I guess the gym needs to be thought about...can I just think about it and that be enough?

Well back to it. Jumped on the scales for this weeks weigh in and lost 2lbs! Happy with that and back to the level I was pre easter bunny. Got my eyes on losing 3.5 lbs to get that BMI change.
Ok yesterday
Normal breakfast - so nice! 35g HexB oats
Had a medium costa sugar free skimmed latte that meant I got all my HexA in. They have little pies and I tried the banoffee one, 136 kcal so 6.5 syns. Also had an Aero egg thing argh whats that 6.5 aswell can't remember.
Lunch-Jacket potato and mushy peas
Dinner - wholemeal pasta and bolognese - no syns Hartley Jelly for after - 0.5 syn.
So quite high on the syns but did do a tonne of shopping and the walking round must have added up! Also mowed the lawn and potted around the garden so I would think thats a fair few steps.
Got to get on the planning and start switching to summertime sw. I think the scotch eggs are becoming a firm low syn fridge and lunch favourite. Also I really want to get the exercise going. I bought some new work out trousers and need to get them on and exercising. We signed up for a local 10 mile walk next weekend!! Eeek. No turning back though!

But I did manage to walk 5.6miles today in preparation for the walk next weekend. About two hours with stopping for various things on the way with the dogs. I know this now, about 5 miles is ok, after that its tough! Will also take some food along which is going to be strange as usually I have trail mix (granola, chocolate M&Ms, craisins, raisins, peanuts and cashews all mixed up) but that is totally not SW! Maybe more scotch eggs! LOL
Back to work tomorrow. WIll be taking a scotch egg and salad and a cup of vietnamese noodle soup to work for lunch. Will snack on the apples and satsumas I have left. Only 3.5lbs to go before that BMI drop. Needs to be achieved.

Wednesday
I reached for my coffee cup and had a muscle spasm in my neck! So exercise was the walk to and from the doctors although I was all scrunched up. On the bog boy drugs now and slowly able to move a bit better.
Breakfast
Overnight oats and fruit
Coffee with sugar free syrup
Snacks
Bought some lovely jazz apples from waitrose and ate one on the walk home. They keep them refrigerated and so to try and make them interesting I will do that at home for the more refreshing crunch.
Made scotch eggs - they wont last! Had three and a boiled egg for lunch - 4 syns and a malteaser bunny (I have a bunny problem) 7.5 syns
Cantelope
Dinner
I decided to make the marinated lamb and salad out of one of the books. But the dressing they used had cumin in. I can't stand that yogurt cumin taste. So I had the lamb with normal salad and the BGTY Caesar dressing 2 syns.
Really worried I wont be able to make this weekends walk Although the weather doesn't look great. Husband is home from Singapore today which is good as I am having trouble with the household tasks like doing the dishes.

So husband put on 4lbs which isn't bad for being in the eating hub that is Singapore.
I've been on plan bit that daily chocolate is becoming a habit and la st night in really wanted to polish off the full large bar of montezuma chili and lime but stopped after half.
Weighed in and lost half a pound which is a loss but blimey this stone is hard to shift. I've been warned the medication can make me constipated and I've been at home so not walking as much.
Got him home so need to plan the week ahead and won't be stuck with four days of leftovers from one meal.
Still not got my salad/summer food sorted. Chicken drumsticks seem to be playing a big part and they are cheap.
Bought a huge order of lean mince and chicken breasts from westin gourmet as they were on offer so freezer is fully stocked.

Hi slimmerem, hows things going for you this week?
I forgot I had a dentist appointment in central london so I ended up going in anyway! So in total 3 miles walk. It was pouring down in the morning but at least the lawn got a drink and the waterbutt filled up a bit!
I am struggling at the moment, that dam bunny stash.
Yesterday
Same breakfast
Lunch
I had two apples and two satsumas but forgot to actually eat lunch-probably because my breakfast was too late. When I got back from London I finished off the spag bol.
Dinner
Grilled chicken breast, jacket potato with chive and onion cottage cheese and carrots and peas.
Snacks
Hartley jelly pot, Two mullerlights (missing the fact that these aren't 10 for £3 anymore!) the fruit up above. I had a couple of bites of a brownie my husband and stashed in the freezer 4 syns?, a bunny and a half 9syns, and a aldi bubble bar 4 syns.
I might need him to confiscate the bunnies, they are becoming a daily fix. Also I have been hovering at the same weight for about a month now. Frustrating.
I've been signed off work for two days and I will be walking into town to go to the library to return my slimming world magazine. I must look at it first though! Also I am going through the James Patterson womens murder club detective series and need the next installment.

Right well a week or two of naughtiness and now I need to get back on track. Weighed in and the scales have been kind to me weighing ion at 15st 1.6lbs Need to concentrate on getting rid of the clingy 2.5lbs to get that BMI change. I will think about that before heading to the icecream section at the supermarket!
My husband has gone away to Dublin so it will be leftover city for me but I have no naughty things in the house and a desire to get these pounds off. I am stil astounded by the variation in clothes sizes. The only day I bought crop jeans from sainsburys in size 16. They were too big! This is not counting towards my target but it is making it difficult to buy clothes that don't look like I am squeezing myself into them/look too big.
Anywho, I am going to try salads for lunch this week. I bougt some giant couscous and a roast chicken. Thinking about throwing in spinach, lettuce, rocket, sweetcorn, mushrooms and beetroot. Possibly pommegranate although staring to sound like something a preganant lady would eat! Also got carrot and red cabbage in the fridge.
Breakfast today was my usual and I have had an extra coffee and feeling very sleepy. Lunch will be a salad - lets see how that goes and maybe a couple of soft boiled eggs in it. Got some sainsburys be good to your self sausages so will probably make scotch eggs later on to have something to snack on.

OK yesterday
Breakfast the normal
Lunch
The same salad with chicken a jacket potato, cottage cheese, tuna sweetcorn and cucumber.
Snack
Scotch egg
Three satsumas
Tried to drink more but still need to up the water
Dinner
Wholemeal pasta leftovers with added mushrooms and bacon. Two boiled eggs and the rhubarb crumble mullerlight custard combo which I must say it's quite nice without the rhubarb. Not completely confident that the steering of fruit in sweetner is allowed though
