[CAPRICORN]

goooood morning all

Morning Ela ine -hope you have a good week my lovely

Well I have just done the workout picked for me :angel09:-20mins and 140cals burnt.. -not massive amounts -but it all adds up, and I will get on the stepper later

As I decided last night -here is todays meal plan -chosen just in case "marvin" is lurking

*250ml semi (A)
*grapefruit
*2 eggs scrambled
*bacon
*roasted tomatoes
*melon
*pineapple
*salmon filet
*tickled
*tickled cabbage
*tomatoes
*tickled mixed veggies
*mixed berries
*activia (2.5)
*spanish rice with chicken n chorizo (2.5)
*fibre plus bar (B)
*250ml semi (6)

So that will be 1A+B and 11 syns

Im not really sure Im hungry enough for THAT much brekkie -soooo I will have my grapefruit and then I can always have the rest if I need it later -seems silly to force it down "just in case" I get hungry later.. may as well wait n see

Im planning on getting more recipe saved onto my PC today then at the weekend I can hopefully make some new meal plans and get some new recipe tried out arty0049:
Right I will get off and try and catch up and then I think its time for another cuppa
Have a lovely day all and keep up the great work !!!

Hi Capricorn
Had your Spanish Rice with chicken and chorizo again last night - think this is one of our favourite meals. Have copied quite a few of your recipes into a Word document on my PC and always have 2 or 3 of them during the month - haven't had anything I don't like yet.

Just read your post on the other place

Fear not Mrs

The prawns were............
actually quite ok

I did try a 'bare one' but I couldn't eat more than one in its naked form

The sauce recipe you told me to do was flipping lovely (I remembered at the last minute about the worcester sauce)

I got a couple of prawns that tasted verrrry fishy so had to spit them out as I wanted to gag

.....but other than that the verdict is that I think I like them!!


WOOOOHOOOOO another fishy product I can add to my list

P.s thanks for the recipes on my Diary, Mr Dizzy is too ill to eat solids at the Mo, But I will be making a batch of Ox burgers up tomorow and freezing them (I will of course be sampling my bit first )

 

[wenchie]

Afternoon all - Capricorn, I am in awe of your exercise - my wee work out last night nearly had me dropping as it was! I did sleep like a baby though, even without the *week snoozies (I'm actually kind of glad that it's not just me that gets that...).

I don't know how it is with you, but I think if I plan out in my head that I'm going to eat X,Y&Z then I don't get so hungry for it and only eat X and maybe Y? It's a good thing, I think, means I'm only eating what I'm physically, rather than mentally, hungry for (although hormonal hunger's a whole other thing!)

 

[CAPRICORN]

Good afternoon all

oooh I did enjoy my lunch , I ended up having the salmon but I had peas n carrots with it... mmmmm
Didn't have brekkie in the end :slap: -but I just wasn't hungry :faint2:,
Dinner tonight will definitely be what it says on my plan ...really - it will :giggle: - I do love that recipe even though Im not normally much of a fan of rice
Hi denise -glad you are liking the recipes .... the spanish rice is one of our faves -I find it real comfort food :drool:
woohoo Dizzy
Glad the prawns went down OK -I have given you another tip that might help on the "other thread" .... squeeze the prawns out and whack them in the sauce over night so they soak up the flavour
At this rate you will be part otter with all that fish you are trying :giggle:
Hi Wenchie - I really don't do half as much exercise as some but Im trying to get back into it, I know that if I do to much I will do it for so long and then burn out and stop -so Im trying the "little n often" approach -its more to try and get toned than burn extra cals -although that would be a nice bonus

I have to agree -I have to know what I plan to eat every day -but then often I don't need it all -and I refuse to eat just because Im supposed to -I have finally learnt to eat what I need when I need it -only taken nearly 40 years , but I know that if I just got up with nothing in mind I would feel really uncomfy...
I think I will get back to making some more book marks and then have my berries n yoghurt mmmm
hope everyone is having a good day!!

 

[CAPRICORN]

Good evening lovelies

oooh eeee by gum .... hubby came home with 2 packages for me -from Amazon .... hubby reckons he has never seen anyone open an envelope so nervously ... well I knew what I was expecting annnnnnd .. it was my new exercise DVDs
Not only that, but I put the Spanish rice in the remoska to cook and decided to take a peek at the "30 day shred" ..and I have only gone and done my first day -OK so it was no walk in the park but I am soooo proud that I did it and my chubby little legs are now all wibbly wobbly inside :giggle:

By the time I was done -dinner was cooked and core I enjoyed every last bit,,,, I only had a half portion though as I knew it would be enough -so now Im all arty0048: as my tummy is full again and my exercise is done for the day :happy036:..... Lets see how I feel in the morning
there were 5 other discs I have had come -some just 10 min target ones -not sure I will be doing them at the same time as the shred -but I will figure it out :hmm: I will have a toned body -eventually
Right me and my ickle achy legs are off to the sofa
have a good evening all

 

[Ela ine]

So pleased that you have it - and you did it! We'll be on the same days! Whoooo! Bring on the burn!! x

 

[CAPRICORN]

Hi Ela ine

Im amazed it got here this quick and Im so glad I just opened it and shoved it in the player rather than being scared of it and putting it off :clap:

I think I must be a little twisted as I rather like Jillian -I think its because she isn't all girly

The plan is to do it again as soon as I get up, there are a couple of bits I have to modify -the reverse crunch things for a start and I only have 1kg weights so thats what I used :character00115: oohh and I will be glad when my sports bra arrives so I can be a bit less :banana dancer: -I noticed their boobs never shifted -I was quite amazed :giggle:

Chances are I will be doing level 1 for more than 10 days

Anyway I will add my total for today and then Im off to the land of nod....

Sun - 9 syns used and 500cals burnt
Mon - 2.5syns used and 520cals burnt
Tues - 5 syns used and 140cals burnt + shred

I didn't need the extra milk so my syns dropped today - BUT -I am planning on having avocado tomorrow so that will use some up nomnomnom

 

[CAPRICORN]

Gooood morning world

I would arty0011: -as I have just done day 2 of the shred -but my arms ache so I will make do with a :giggle: -ooohh Im a ickle bit achey, but I will survive -

Im looking forward to a green day today -watch out avocado here I come
So then my green day should be looking like this:-

• 250ml semi (A)
• grapefruit
• avoado - (7.5 syns) -will adjust when I weigh it
• 57g reduced fat feta (B)
• lettuce
  [*]cucumber
  [*]tomato
  [*]onion
  [*]peppers
  [*]tickled beetroot
• mixed berries
• activia (2.5)
• melon
• jacket potato
  [*]cottage cheese
  [*]salad *as above*
• fibre plus bar (B)
• 250ml semi (A)

SO that comes to 2A+Bs and 10 syns
I am sooooooo looking forward to my feta n avocado :drool:

We need to nip out when hubby gets back from work - yet more fruit, salad and milk required - I NEED pineapple, really I do

If I feel up to it later I may have a look at one of those other DVDs that arrived yesterday -- Im not saying I will do one.. just look at it ...
Anyway I will get off and wash my hair and then make a brew.. have a superb day everyone and kep at it.. we will get there:vibes:

 

[constantlydizzy]

Good morning Mrs

You're on my stalk list so Im doing my rounds

Avacado ....now I wonder If I could somehow work that into my week somehow and have myself some guacamole!!

Oooooh Im all excited at that prospect


Well done on the amount of exercise you're doing....Im truly in awe of your dedication. My only exercise is getting to the loo quickly after Dyno Rod....or doing the ironing :sigh: I cant really class the Physio as its not exactly very 'physical' Hey ho maybe you can do a bit for me if I ask realllllllly nicely lol x x

Right speaking of Physio...must get myself off now ta ta for now! :wave_cry:

 

[CAPRICORN]

Afternoon Dizzy :wavey:

I have just had lunch and ooh twas nomnomnom - I do love avocado and feta :drool:
I find it a good way to use up some syns -and it only worked out at 7 syns for the half :happy036: - so I may have to have the same again tomorrow -only to use the other half up of course
now I know you wouldn't want to spoil your avocado -BUT it is lovely with the prawns and that dressing you made on ..nomnomnom

Do you know something, I don't know if its because I have always eaten a lot of fruit n veg but the dyno rod soup never has "that" affect on me

Im very hit n miss with my exercise -usually I will do loads for a while and then spend weeks sat on my bum -this time Im going to try and do little n often..anything to reduce the chances of ending up all floppy n wibbly :cross:

Hope Physio goes ok my lovely and hope they don't make you all :9529: this time....

 

[vixmania41999]

Yay well done hun. I've just done my day 2 too. (couldn't do it yesterday as I worked and fell asleep on the sofa after I'd put my LO to bed and had dinner after skipping lunch...oops) I know exaclty what you mean, I need better support underwear, bits wobbled that I didn't even know I had. I don't ache as much as I thought I would. I also have to modify some of the moves and I think I'll be doing stage 1 for at least 2 weeks maybe more. I do feel good though! Roll on day 3

:happy096: on getting day 2 done, I will be with you -I can see my 30 day shred turning into a 90 day shred :giggle: ... I modify a couple of bits, better than doing ourself an injury isn't it , I really like Jillan Michaels -Im sure its because she isn't all frilly n girly...
I have a sports bra on its way but Im still not sure it will stop everything from bouncing -but its worth a try :giggle:.
I ache a bit but its a kind of "oooh I have done something" ache rather than a "good go what happened ache" -so far -
Its my arms that ache but I don't know if its because I have 1kg weights or not..
Have you taken your measurements? I did mine yesterday to see what difference it makes.. Im not expecting miracles as I have plenty of wobble covering my muscles -but anything is a bonus
Im off now to have a peep at one of the other dvds.. not that I plan on trying them yet
Keep up the great work Vix...

Woohoo lovely

are you achy? I seem to be feeling it in the tops of my arms, at the front where your arms meet your boobs, then the bit right under your boobs and then just up from my belly button and to the sides -so Im hoping and a praying that it means Im actually working those muscles (where ever they may be ), either that or Im deformed and working the wrong bits
I would love it if I can get my "squidgy roll" shifted -I have several, but the one that sits between my boobs n waist really bugs me -I have lost a fair bit off it already - but it HAS TO GO!!!!
Im so glad you are trusting the plan arty0011: -lets hope it brings you good things. I have found that I will now trust the plan but it took some time, although I do like to swap between the plans and keep things shaken up -so I will sometimes try to use more syns etc.. just so I don't get in a rut and stop paying attention..
I have salad stuff, but it won't last long in this house -bit like the fruit really
Hope you are having a great day and keep up the super duper work

Not to worry! I too ache, evverryywhhherre the whole way through - not so much after (which I think is a bit odd) but especially the sideways lunges (still don't know why )
I still haven't mastered the reverse crunch, I seriously can't keep my legs up (too fat ) BUT we did some in boxcersise so I'm sure I would have managed Day 2 :angel09: a lot better had I just got on with the shread!

I would love it if I can get my "squidgy roll" shifted -I have several, but the one that sits between my boobs n waist really bugs me -I have lost a fair bit off it already - but it HAS TO GO!!!!

same same - I know what you mean - I have it too! Hoping that excersise will help with all my chubb! Ergh! I have done quite a bit today already and might even treat the stairs to a hoover *cough* blast my bingo wings a bit more tonight

Im so glad you are trusting the plan arty0011: -lets hope it brings you good things. I have found that I will now trust the plan but it took some time, although I do like to swap between the plans and keep things shaken up -so I will sometimes try to use more syns etc.. just so I don't get in a rut and stop paying attention..

My main problem is - I spent a large ammount of my teenage life (when I probably didn't even need to ) counting calories and I know the content of pretty much everything - argh! So when I put stuff on a plate I am naturally tallying up/checking packets and if a single meal comes to more than 600 calories (especially on green days!) or sw donner kebab etc.. I get all panicky! I am trying though - this week! Or even when I still count, I'm going to eat *unntil I'm hungry* anyway, regardless of calories

I have salad stuff, but it won't last long in this house -bit like the fruit really
Hope you are having a great day and keep up the super duper work

I WILL! You too Squidge be gone! Squidge be gone!!

WOW - I am very impressed at all this shredding that's going on around here (I'm borrowing a wee bit of your motivation, if that's okay? I was way too lazy to do anything after my WI & class last night so I need to get on with it tonight).

dyno rod soup sounds ever so slightly terrifying - - is there a recipe? (I figure I did so well last week due to wodges of the tomato soup, so, in an effort to keep things interesting....) .

Get on it! Do you have the DVD already? I was also curious about the dyno rod soup...

I don't (yet!) but I've got a couple of other things that I do regularlyish so I need to get back on the wagon with that tonight and then maybe the Shred won't actually kill me
