Diary of a Former Cookie Monster.

Saw your photo on IG yesterday - you've done amazingly well. I find it's so rewarding when you see before and after photos - makes it seem more real. xx

Yeah. I was picking photos to print for the new house and came across that one. My friend was saying the difference and I didn't think there was much until I saw the pic from sat night.

So that is my motivation to spur me on and keep me on track

I was the same for months then boom went to put on a pair of jeans and they literally fell down when I started walking. I heard it takes a month for your skin to shrink back in apparently. But I noticed in July when I hit one stone I didn't feel it until sept in my clothes then the same lately, I lost more and nothing for another few months then at the party last week I realised I was in a size 12 dress down from the 16/18 I was wearing at the wedding in July so pulled the two pics up to compare. Was in genuine shock. I don't feel like I've lost much as I still have 3st to go but I did my measurements on Feb 1st and gonna go by that now too

That's a really good idea - I always have a little bit of meals left but it ends up going in the bin as its never really enough for leftovers. Good for when I'm skint at the end of the month too!
 
So I got distracted today and didnt post until now, for the first time in ages I have had the best day. I woke up with tonnes of energy. My horrible chesty cough finally broke. So after I half coughed up a lung this morn, I got busy with my housework. I cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen, did laundry, cleaned my fireplace, sitting room, all the floors, sorted all my clothes, including a pile for charity that have gone too big. My friend is pregnant so she gets first dibs then I'll drop it into the charity shop in town. I literally have done so much that my fitbit was going crazy. So judging by its calorie burn I did well today, and I had it off for half the day as I had my hands in water etc. Felt so good, even before I had a mug of tea.

Breakfast
hexb sandwich thin with 3 synfree Mallons Gluten Free Sausages an apple for speed
tea and some water

Lunch
Some leftover mash with beans and a fried egg and then some broccoli and a pear for speed

Dinner
Today I made a really yummy favourite in our house - Fajitas!!!

2 syns for the smokey BBQ Old El Paso spice mix, chicken breasts, yellow pepper and onions. served with loads of iceberg lettuce

17 syns after treats today but I am OK with that.

Drank so much sugar free minerals, and two full bottles of filtered water in my awesome new water bottle. Its amazing to have such a loving boyfriend, instead of chocolates like most guys, he picked me up a filter water bottle cayse he knew I wanted one. Nice Valentines suprise :)

So yesterday we did a massive Aldi haul and spent over our weekly budget for food but sometimes you just gotta do it. we stocked up on all fruit, veg and meats for the week along with a few extras and we went to lidl to grab a few things too, while there we were literally there in time for stickers, so we managed to get a full chicken for €2, two packs of stewing beef for €1.60 each, stir fry beef for €1.60 and 8 chicken breasts for €6 so we brought these home and two packets of chicken drumsticks for €2 each. so we divided them all up and added our herbs, spices, marinades and filled up our freezer.

So we have all these prepped in the freezer:
  • 2 steakhouse pepper beef stew with onion
  • honey and garlic beef stirfry
  • 4 peri peri hot drumsticks
  • 4 chinese drumsticks (added extra chillis, garlic, spring onion)
  • 4 bbq drumsticks
  • 4 garlic and paprika ones (will make kfc style once defrosted)
  • 4 jerk chicken drumsticks
  • 2 chicken breasts in arriabata style sauce
  • 2 chicken breasts in lemon garlic rosemary sauce
I swear if I dont loose this weeks gain next week I will cry!!!
 
Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Breakfast this morning was 5 syns of pancakes and nutella along with a pear and a mug of coffee!

Lunch/Dinner is going to be a Sunday roast
