Oh my god! That's amazing!! Well done you. Xx

 

[lotty28]

That pasta looks lovely will defo try that! X

 

[charl_young]

It was so so nice! Wish I'd used brown pasta though, as white makes me so bloated! Or it might be the ridiculous amount of chocolate I've eaten, I think I may have eventually sickened myself, here's hoping!

Had soooo much dinner, no carbs tho x

 

[charl_young]

oh dear (AGAIN) I saw some jelly babies and ate loads, what the hell is wrong with me! The only thing to do now is just go cold turkey, the more sugar you have the more you crave so if I just stop for a week it might go out my system. I hope! I did a bloody vlcd in the summer and that took a hell of a lot of willpower?! Where has that gone! I'm bringing it back and gonna get to target by may 3rd! Grrr

Ok, had a sts this week which if any has read my food diary is quite the achievement, does make me think that when you are really aware of your meals you can get away with all kinds of treats without gaining weight (which ultimately may be a bad thought!) So now I'm super focused, going to do EE all week just as an experiment, I get a bit consumed with cals and intake/output so I'm clearly not putting all my faith into SW as a plan, so going to just try standard EE no messing with plan no tweaking, and see what happens next friday, plus it is the easiest to fit into family cooking. Then the week after a week of alternating green and red just again to see what has the best result.

We booked a long weekend in Amsterdam last night I'm so excited!! I haven't been there properly before, passed through Schipol loads of times catching flights and stayed with family friends once too, but never been into the city, we have a nice hotel in a really good area and the flights were pretty ok, £100 return with baggage, its my birthday present too, lucky me! And it'll signify the end of 2nd year for me tooooo, so double whammy of celebrations I hope (depending on how my assignments go anyway!!) So now I have a new goal date, I want to be at target then, or at least well into the 12's. Glasto in June is when I 100% want to be there. So heres hoping!!

OK foods today, its curry night in our house so excited for that! veering more towards Asian curries than indian at the mo, must be missing thailand!

EE DAY - FRIDAY

Breakfast : wmeal small toast (hexB) 60g smoked salmon, 2 poached eggs (was YUM! salmon lush!)

Dinner : massaman curry with chicken and prawns. 50g brown rice with carrot, cabbage, peas and sweetcorn. (3syns for paste and coconut milk) A bit lacking SF but I have def had my 5 a day anyway so its ok.

had a LUSH food day, feeling in control and had a few pangs for chocolate but I resisted (apart from a fairy cake) but no actual chocolate bars.. So thats something, actually was a bit annoyed at myself for the fairy cake but never mind, stupid boys school and their cake sale fridays! haha.. Got all my meals planned for the week now and done a massive food shop from asda so lots of SW friendly foods, meals and soup ingredients and lots of new recipes to try for my EE week ahead, wow my life is wild, friday night and I've done a massive asda shop and watched CBB! jeeze! Although we had a massive progress on the cat hating dog situation, he snuggled up to her before on the sofa, thats never ever happened, YAY!

Here's the proof! And the snow outside my house boo snow!

 

[charl_young]

Slept a bit late so just waited until lunch to eat, just dry rubbed some pork shoulder to make pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. It smells amazing and just put it in the slow cooker, house day (apart from a little trip to asda next to my house) as I just can't face the snow! Sticking to my EE plan, doing that all week. It really is easy to plan for / stick to as you don't really need to think as much about what you're eating.

EE DAY - Saturday

Breakfast : coffee

Lunch : frittata, sausage (sainsbury chipolata 90% pork 0.5syns), bacon, soya beans, potato, pepper, mushroom, onion. Salad (0.5syns mayo x light)

Dinner : pulled pork rolls (hexB) SW chips, SW onion rings, SW coleslaw, salad. (1syn brown sugar) BBQ sauce (2syns)
Pudding : banana, tofu choc pudding and angel delight, looks amazing but not sure how to syn the angel delight as I used hexA milk, I'll say 5 as that's what it would be without counting the milk as a hex (5syns)

Drinks : tea, coffee, lemon tea, coke zero. (HexA milk)

TOTAL SYNS : 9

Yey! I actually am finding EE much better, I don't feel the need to snack like red days, and the bloat I get from green, hope this works! You'll get back into it Jen.

Ohhh dinner was well nice today ladies! A recipe from an old SW booklet thing, I used LM sausages and made a casserole, would be good on any plan. Xx

Didn't get to eat lunch until just now, so not too sure what to do about dinner now, I might make up a burger then if I want it later when bf is having his tea I can have it then.

SOOO awful outside, placement was such a waste of my time, 3 weeks in a row I've spent watching DVDs. What's the point!!!!

 

[charl_young]

Totally on plan still very bloated today tho, so avoiding the scales and 5 days chocolate free although massively craving it today, don't really want to give in as I'll just start havjng it every day again! Missed Uni again as the bus didn't come and had to walk the boys to school as again no buses came. Poor kids! Was so cold!
