Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!

I think you're doing brilliantly Mary .... and not eating much at all - all things considered. Hope you're feeling really good!! You certainly deserve to be! xx
 
Thanks sure can though im gunna find it easy to stop tbh only drinking is where im gunna miss it lol

Training is good thanks really going to start pushing it, will be dropping another stone or two for it as well which will be good. Only thing is finding it awkward juggling a new girlfriend with healthy eating lol not easy taking them out for a meal when your watching the old figure haha

Hows things post LT for yourself ?

Things are going well here Adam, weight is up and down by +/- 5-6lbs, but to be honest, its not bothering me too much. I went out on Friday and thats the only time I was tempted to have a cigarette, but that wasnt until I was home and fairly p*s**d ;)

I can imagine your predicament going out to dinner and trying to choose healthy. Are you still seeing Chelly? Not seen her around for ages.

Thanks Jan, yes I do feel good at the moment, even though the scales are showing an increase in the weight. Not too bothered about the small increase though as Phill is getting me the Wii fit and console for Xmas, so my New Years resolution is exercise, exercise and more exercise.

How we doing today?

So far so good for me - no picking yet :)
 
Evening both, sorry I havent been on here today, but only got on the computer once this afternoon before bed and that was spent doing my farming :)

Edit on yesterdays food - Ooh wait a minute, let me polish my halo :eek: well I actually only had 2 and a half glasses of red wine.

You are right Jan, this new 40's ;) club is fantastic. Loving every minute of it. Tanya, dont worry about inspiring me to have some wine, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Day 14 - Woooop wooooooop, no thoughts on smoking, no cravings, feeling brilliant.

Foodwise, not bad either.

Left this morning for a hospital appointment, so didnt have time for breakfast, only had 2 cups of tea before leaving.

On the way back from the Hospital, we had to go and see the youngest Daughter, so I knew I couldnt go till 1pm before food, so we popped into Sainsburys, but the restaurant was closed for refurbishment, so I picked the sort of best option I could.

Ham and mustard sandwich, on oatmeal bread. 287 calories. Packet of quavers 87 calories. Small bottle of orange juice, 106 calories. Sort of used this as a brunch.

1 Banana and a small glass of milk before bed this afternoon.

Dinner was tuna salad, half a tin of tuna, lite mayo, small spoon of sweetcorn, boiled egg, salad and pickles.

Evening snack jar of cockles and apple.

Supper in work, have brought a packet of super noodles and a chicken and leek cup-a-soup to have about midnight.

Extras
4 eucalyptus sweets - these are nearly finished now, its the bag of sweets I bought to go on holiday to suck on the plane :D:D
2 tangerines.
 
Sounds great Mary .... Oooooo supernoodles! I haven't had them for AGES!!! Used to like them with bacon & egg ..... hmmmmmmm ;)

You did well to find a sandwich under 300 cals. That sounds like a great brunch to me! xx
 
Haha, I wasnt too sure on calories for sandwiches, very few and far between do I ever buy a sandwich out, but I didnt even look the calories until I was eating it, just looked for what was the healthiest.

Oooh and I forgot to add, when I came into work tonight, there were some white wraps from a meeting earlier, I had no thoughts to eat one, but I did open one and eat a tiny bit of ham from one, but it was really dry.

Just had the supernoodles now, I really enjoyed them. I havent made home made soup for a couple of weeks, so just looking for some nice and difference changes to bring to work - the soup was really giving me BAD BAD wind.......lol.
 
Ha Ha ... not too popular with the colleagues then ;) ... does you good to have a change anyway xx And well done on the wrap thing! x
 
MARY!!!! I don't know what you mean!!!! And I thought you were a laydeeeee!!! ;) LOL!!! xx

Lunch, 2 slices of wholemeal toast with peanut butter. 1 banana sliced with honey. 1 tangerine.

Dinner, Tuna salad. LF yogurt and frozen berries. 1 Tangerine.

Well done on being off the smokes for 15 days your amazing and your food is still so amazing. Your a great inspiration really.
 
Thanks Anne Marie, but I dont think I will be so good over the weekend. My Son is visiting tomorrow until Monday, he is coming with his Girlfriend and little girl from Nottingham. It will be great to see him, but I can see lots of extra nibbles and drinks of course.....lol.

Phew! You havnt left the sugarfreepolo club then! :giggle:

Mary, question; frozen berries - do you defrost them first before you eat them? Im thinking of maybe getting some as something different to an apple & yog.
 
Looking good Mary! ... Hope you have a lovely weekend with your son et al ... don't be too strict with yourself - after all, if you're anything like me half of the reason for doing what we've done is so that we can enjoy time with our families more and for longer! ENJOY!! xx

Tan - I defrost frozen fruit but there wouldn't be anything wrong with 'sucking on it' instead if you wanted to .... it'd kill my teeth! :) xx
 
Yes I always defrost it too Tanya. I defrost them in a bowl, and some of the juice oozes out. I love to put yogurt over them and it mixes with the juice, just a bit like the muller corners really - very nice.
 
Absolutely right Jan - the reason IS to have longer with our families. Really looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow, not seen him for a few months.
