morning!
mildly is fine, Lou. there was nothing mild about what i had yesterday!
I had a whopper jr meal for lunch
then i had a krispy kreme and a coffee for after noon snack. (HA!)
and then we had frankie and benny's for dinner....and i got a 2 course thing from the specials menu - bbq and cheese garlic bread to start and pasta verde for mains. i devoured my starter and then had 2 bites of my pasta because i was soooo stuffed...but i brought it home and picked the rest of the evening. i ended up eating about half of the total portion and then threw the rest out.
and of course birthday cake.
pure carbs! and too much!
but. its done!!
So...today. Nothing else coming up...no holidays or plans so Im going to power through.
222.4 this morning (ridiculous) and id like to be back to 217 by thursday ( I hope) as this is mostly water (and punishment! haha). So lets do this.
2x pancakes
1xchili and cauliflower
easing back into it after yesterday's insanity. plus its Cinco de Mayo today....so gotta have a bit of "mexican". haha
In other news...
omg! Hubby is going down to london next Monday...his medical is tuesday. D: I cant believe how fast that has come 'round. When i booked it for him..it was 6 weeks away. !!
Today, we are doing nothing. Just totally chilling out and hubby and I are getting back on plan. So thats it!
Have a nice day today

how exciting for monday/tuesday!
sounds like you had a lovely day and you've got a nice clear run ahead of you now to get blitzin'
final push...this is the hard bit where it isn't quite so urgent, we're not as obese as we were and it's easy to say 'oh it's fine now' but it isn't, we're not where we want to be and we don't want to settle for anything less than being within at least a stone of our goal.

been fine today. had 1x pancakes and 3 eggs and then i made a pan of caulirice and quorn with sliced onions and then cooked it in some passata, water and seasonings until it cooked down. not strictly vlcd allowed but its cinco de mayo and i really wanted mexican food. lol. this was as close as i could get without going completely off plan. lol
so i had some of that this afternoon and then the rest for dinner.
so..kinda not great really. but its ok. tomorrow i will get up and boil a few eggs and then make 3x pancakes and that will be all of my food for the day. Hubby as back to work tomorrow and things will go back to normal.
im feeling a bit down this evening. like i would like to get stuck in to a project and distract myself. but i dont have anything i can really do. i dont fancy starting another weaving project until my yarn comes (i bought a bundle of a mixture of different ones on ebay). and i cant make my bag until my stuff comes (and get the rest of the bits ordered). I cant really make a tshirt bag either because i dont have a tshirt to spare or that i would like to use. so bleh.

So...I have come to the realization that cauli-rice gives me UNBEARABLE wind. Its in my upper stomach and it kills!! Im sat here...burping like a lunatic. I noticed this the last twice I had but i couldnt work out what could have caused it. its definitely the cauli-rice. Im so sad...but oh well! its deeefinitely not worth this pain discomfort. at all. boo.

I had thought that Clinq but then....cooked it for about 25 mins in lots of water (so basically boiled it) and it was very very soft. I think it has something to do with the texture of it and the way it lands/reacts in my stomach. Since my surgery in 2002....my stomach handles things very strangely. Like..real rice and spaghetti (only actual spaghetti..no other pasta "shapes") ...often hurt my stomach...but not always. its very odd. boo hiss. lol.
Im looking forward to having just pancakes and eggs again tomorrow, actually. so yay. come on 216 and a new lowest low!!

how strange that different shaped foods affect you :/
painful wind is horrid.
i hate that restless feeling, i guess now Zoe's birthday is over and you can't get properly planning for the states then you're in limbo a bit. when will your yarn get there?
your cinco de mayo fayre sounds very sensible

Morning
Didnt weigh. Wont for a while now. Just wanna give it time to at least get back to where I was.
So today..I got up and boiled 4 eggs. 2-3 for me (depending on how hungry i get today) and 1 for hubby. And then I made 3 packs of pancakes and popped them in the fridge. I have 10 for dinner, 4 for breakfast, 4 for lunch and then 4 for desperate OMG IM STARVING moments. just in case. lol. if i still have those 4 at dinner time, i will just have them then
Went out early this morning and walked into town (a mile) - ran a couple of errands and then walked home (another mile). Been home for about a half hour.
I requested a couple of quotes online from international shipping people yesterday. Trying to figure out how best to ship over our stuff. Whether it would be better/cheaper to just get a pallet/chipping container and **** it by sea freight...or to go with someone like parcel money or parcel 2 go and ship them that way. I want cheap(er/est) but also...safe(er/est). Its not point saving yourself a few quid if your stuff is gonna go missing..especially as its a lot of pictures and mementos and the girls' toys and keeps sake boxes. Stuff that has more sentimental value and whatnot. We shall see.
Anyway....off to start getting this water down. Bleh. I should probably have breakfast soon, too. lol.
Have a nice day!

yeah! it really gets to me when i have nothing to work on/focus on. especially when something like this massive move is hanging over me. lol
^^ oops..i typed that like 2 hours ago and never finished the post.
lol..so erm...been spot on today. and i threw out all my cauli-rice...no one else will eat it. boo. and i got 2 swedes and made chips. I parboiled them and then weighed out 200g portions and popped them in baggies in the freezer. i got 9 bags....they were big swedes. lol.
so i will just have those with chili. i like them better anyway. haha. and they dont make me all tummy hurty and windy. and seeing as i knocked a bunch of my pancakes on the floor. *cry*...it looks like I will start that tonight. I was gonna have pancakes tonight as i had made 3 packs. but when i was making my coffee, i splashed boiled water on my hand and my natural reflex to pull away...i knocked the plate of pancakes for lunch on the floor. boooo. so they went in the bin and left me short. so that was 5 pancakes gone and i gave the girls another 4 of them....which is about one pack's worth. sorted. so chilli and swede chips tonight.

Oh....heavens that was good. lol
I just had swede chips (although, lets be honest...its just roasted swede, isnt it? hahaha theyre nothing like chips. mine arent, anyway) with chili and a cheese slice on top. i feel nice and full and very satisfied.
So tomorrow will be the same.... 2x pancakes, 2 eggs and chili w/ swede chips for dinner. 215....im headed your way!

Morning!
Clinq...i kinda like them a bit overdone. brings out a sweetness. very much like sweet potato. i reckon! lol.
I got up today and boiled my eggs and made my 2x pancakes - popped them in the fridge. Then we went out to run a couple of errands and came back around half an hour ago (just before 10!) lol. I love getting out in the mornings.
Anyway. We are back now and I am going to try to plan something fun for Monday evening/night and tuesdays - while mal is in london. Its going to be the first time i am alone all night with both girls. Im not worried about that aspect...i just hate being alone at night, fullstop. Its funny...but I have always felt unsafe since I moved here. We dont live in a bad area, not at all. But crime here is very different to the crime we get at home. Chavs and thugs here wouldnt think twice of knocking on your door and assaulting you. And no one is immune - not old frail people, not mothers with young kids. Its like they have no lower limit past which they wont sink. lol. Anyway. I freak out a bit. So Id like to keep us distracted and have fun with it. I was thinking we could pay out a blanket and have a picnic dinner on the floor in the living room (I will order in for the girls and just have a chicken kebab or pack...not gonna go off plan tho) and watch rapunzel or something they will both like. We have Candy Land (the board game) so we can play that. We can colour in....tabs has a new book she got for easter. Maybe make cards for daddy to tell him we missed him. lol. Anyway..working on it. lol
So Im having a few pancakes now (I really really love these. if i do end up ordering any more packs, it will definitely be these) and an egg and a coffee. The same again for lunch and then i have pancakes for my afternoon snack. then swede chips and chili for dinner. this really works well for me.
