Bop's Road to Holiday!

Afternoon everyone :)

So yesterdays food plan wasn't that great as went out, so nothing exciting i'm afraid! Todays will however be (putting it up now as having a busy uni day....pics will be attached later :D)

Breakfast - Fruit salad.

Lunch - Bacon and cheese salad with cottage cheese (HEXA)

Dinner - Aromatic chicken and rice bake (This looks lush, hope it tastes as good!)

Total syns planned - 0 (though no doubt it will jump up through the day)
1 X HEXA
0 X HEXB (Might have some ryvita with my salad)

So my three positives for the day are;

1. Its my graduation ball in May, and I found my DREAM dress, but couldn't afford it. So my boyfriend tells me last night that he has paid a big chunk of the cost of it and got it ordered... in a size 14, so I have 4 months to shift a load of weight but i'm SO motivated now as it is beautiful!.

This is it :D EEEEE so excited just looking at it!!

2. I am about to commence dissertation write up and despite my experiment going horribly wrong i'm feeling positive about it as i've been working really hard this year and feel like I can get the marks I deserve :D

3. Due to the massive intake of water i've started drinking since christmas, my skin has almost comletely cleared up of spots, I have a couple of scars and redness but I will get some cream for that, other than that I am spot free :D

HURRAH!

Hope everyones day is going to be as fabulous as mine!!

Hey don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure you'll look stunning - most of the models I see are all skin and bones anyway - its good to have some curves :) you will have to post a pic on the night!! Xx
 
omg, you are going to look amazing in that dress, and I was watching say yes to the dress last night and one of the store sales people was saying that dresses look stunning on people with curves. I know it's not a wedding dress, but I think the same thing applies

loving today's positives xx

Just hoping that I don't have a few too many curves by the time it comes around, still have about 4 inches to lose off bust hips and waist so debating getting the next size up? Only have a week to get it changed so going to see what it looks like and how much of me there is to squeeze in on Monday! xxxx

Not seen that show before is it good? :D Hoping to lose a few of the curves before it comes around, im a size 18 now, wondering if i will get down to a 14 by May 18th! xxxx

Popcorn cauliflower was raw florets of cauliflower sprayed with frylite and lots of chicken stock sprinkled on it! Then roasted in the oven for about 45 minutes. Sounds a bit strange but really moreish!! ... and superfree. Good for filling 1/3 of your plate or just as a snack!

The chicken bake was so tasty my OH went back for seconds after a big plateful and polished it off!

Recipe: serves 4
Ingredients
Chicken cut up into bitesize chunks (recommends 800g for 4 people)
1 onion diced
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 red pepper diced
2 plum tomatoes chopped
1 carrot peeled and diced into 1cm rounds
200g green beans trimmed and cut into 1cm lengths (Iused sugar snap peas instead)
3 cardamom pods (didnt use them)
2 cloves
1 cinnamon stick ( i used ground)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
250g paella rice
500ml chicken stock
salt and pepper

Method
Spray large casserole dish with frylite, add the chicken and stir fry for 10-12 minutes. Add the onion garlic and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, carrot, beans, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, paprika and rice
Add the stock.. season to taste and bring to the boil
Cover with the lid and transfer to the oven for around 20/25 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Voila :D Theres lots of ingredients but it really does lend itself well to throwing in whatever meat/veg/spices you have going spare. It was so tasty and filling, realy good comfort food :D xxx

you won't look ok in it, you ARE going to look fantastic :D

I really like it, but I think that's with everything being focused on the wedding at the moment :D
 
Afternoon all :)

Hope everyones having a good weekend, just noting down my positives for the day;

1. Dress arrived this morning, didn't think I would ever get it up let alone done up. Turns out it goes up, and only have about an inch and a half /2 inches to lose around my bust before it will do up :D even better the waist is almost too big for me and its a size 14. Hurrah.

2. Getting another chunk of dissertation completed today. Actually finishing it doesn't seem like such a daunting task anymore.

3. I have a fabulous OH who helps me with my work and what to include and how to write it and he is just lovely :D
