HAHA love it- give it a whirl Donna its delish 
And DD I really liked the tuna warmed up, some bits go kind of crispy which I like and it tastes less fishy once fried I think. Its kind of like having a tuna melt sandwich but without the bread and cheese ha ha!

Remainder of terry's choc orange plus some hotel chocolat chocolate!!!! est 613?
TOTAL 1291
STEPS 10,838
I did boxing/body conditioning class followed by body pump and then body balance. My achilles was sore in the first two especially when doing squat jumps. It feels a bit better today though. Will give it a couple of weeks and if worse/no improvement will have to go to the doctors or physio.
Going to try and have soup for dinner this evening (on a Friday night!!!!!!!!!) my bf is away and I want to enjoy Saturday on my girls weekend away with no guilt so if I am well behaved today that will help. Planning on having soup and maybe some homemade popcorn, watching The Notebook and doing my nails/tan etc in prep for tomorrow
Although I obviously massively failed lent, I am now going to try and get through all of March with no chocolate. It will help me back into the clean eating approach and break the craving cycle and also mean I can really enjoy an easter egg or two at the end of the month. Fingers crossed I can do it.

Oh my god ate soooooooooo much this weekend!!! Felt really ill yesterday, body is not used to eating nachos, pizza and flapjack constantly plus tons of booze! I did stick to no chocolate though so 4 days and counting !!
Scales were NOT looking good this morning but will drinks lots of water and eat lots of fruit today and see how it goes.
Feeling absolutely knackered this morning, about to have cup of tea and a cereal bar. Busy day at work then gym for intervals on the treadmill and body balance class. Then thinking chilli for dinner perhaps.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Thanks Cas x weekends are sooo hard! I am trying to stop myself feeling guilty about it and focusing on what bits I enjoyed (the nachos, the M&S flapjack cookies) and remembering what I didn't enjoy so much and felt ill after (greasy takeaway pizzas YES plural pizzas!). I was craving fruit and veg so much yesterday because I had eaten so much junk. Drinking loads of water today to try and flush away some of the crap! Feeling sleepy but exercise will do me good I reckon

This does sound familiar I too had a baaaaaad weekend lots of eatting out and icecream. The worst bit is like you say I didn't enjoy most if it. Although I must admit I enjoyed every spoonful of the icecream even the ones that were making me feel slightly sick lol.
Fresh start today tho

Its amazing isn't it - we eat all these bad things that taste so good to start - then we feel sick and then it makes us sluggish and tired
Well done on getting back to the gym - I feel exhausted just reading what you have planned lol!

Thanks Donna
I managed to stay on track yesterday, have got nothing sweet in the house which is usually my downfall in the evening and planning on keeping it that way til Thurs.
I was meant to be going out for dinner this eve but my friend has cancelled (she is pregnant and feeling poorly) so that means I can make boxing class at the gym which is good. I did Body Balance last night and really enjoyed it. Perfect for a Monday eve when you aren't at your most energetic plus I need to add more stretching into my routine so it helps with getting a good 45 mins of that too.

Arghhh still going to be a gain tomorrow morning as far as I can tell from my scale hopping annoyed.
Gym was awesome yesterday- the boxing class is so fun. I have circuits this eve- which last week made me want to puke so surely must be doing some calorie killing???
Really really craving chocolate but staying strong til Easter.

My parents are coming up to London this weekend so not sure what we are eating tonight. With them all weekend including dinner out on Saturday and then a night out with my girl friends from home. Really don't want 3weeks of gains so will do my best to make sensible choices and not ruin my work so far.
Gutted it looks like a 2 week on the trot gain will see how bad the damage is tomorrow morning.

I did circuits class which was super hard. Parents arrived late so had already eaten. Not sure what we will do this eve maybe go to our local sushi restaurant. In a bad mood this morning, from weigh in I suppose. Going to try this week to eat up to 1350/1400 ish each day as I obviously dropped lower this week to try and remedy the weekend sins but I think maybe bit too low.

Hmmm weekend was definitely not to plan but could have been worse.
Scales are not looking good AT ALL though- eeeeeek
Have had 327 today so far but going to a birthday dinner this evening so that won't help. Its predominantly a pizza place but I haved looked at the menu and am planning on having an avocado salad and sea bass carpaccio which should be well under 700 calories.
Back to the gym for all classes Tues-Thurs and have healthy dinners all planned out. Then I have another friend's birthday party on friday which is dinner at an italian resturant and then a cocktail making thing so going to be a high one.
Going to try and ignore the scales for a bit and really pour myself into the gym, ab belt and try and do a 10 min evening toning/stretching routine.
