Evilpenguin's food diary

[evilpenguin]

You know I was just thinking about when to start my exercising again! Going to get
college out of the way first, last exam is on Thursday but on Friday my bf will be off work so it wont be do-able in the living room, and the bedroom looks like a bomb hit it! So I think this weekend I'll tidy up the bedroom so it's clear to use if I want to exercise when he's in and from Monday I'll start doing my workouts in the afternoons going to pop to hmv and see if they have any ps3 move exercise games or that Jillian Michaels dvd I fancied !!

Let me know how that app is, sounds interesting! Xxx

Just had quick go of skimble it's pretty good. The robotic voice is horrible but if you can get over that fact it's pretty good - all different sections, lengths of workouts and fitness levels. And it's free! Can't complain at that!

When I looked in hmm at fitness DVDs they were much dearer than amazon - I had vouchers to spend there but ended up just getting them off amazon. Cex can be good too for cheap second hand fitness DVDs and I'm sure there's one in edinburgh?

Ah cool wasn't sure if you had finished up at college yet or not. Sounds like a plan about the tidying it's much easier if you actually have some space to do it and not whack your limbs off stuff lol. X

The android store has 2 skimble apps, one is a sports tracker the other is a workout trainer, which one is it?

Yeah the DVDs were naff! 30DS was £8 I'm pretty sure its only £5 on Amazon. I already have that though! They didn't have the burn fat boost metabolism one but i'll look online for it! I got the my fitness coach PS3 game, was £6 so not sure how good it'll be.

Is cex a cash generator type of place? Think we have one but tbh I've not been in that bit of town for ages, mostly only visit for the pubs lol!

Yep almost finished college!! In tomorrow lunchtime to finish a maths thing then Thursday for the final biology assessment eek!!!

 

[icklerockchick]

It's the workout one I have.

Yeh cex is a bit like cash generator type place - often have workout DVDs really cheap but can be a bit hit and miss. My davina ones were all much cheaper there than they were going for on eBay

Ooh not long left now exciting! So is it after the summer you are going to uni? X

 

[evilpenguin]

Ah thanks will download it and have a go

Yeah will be starting in September !

 

[evilpenguin]

Can you split your B choice into 1 cereal bar and 1 slice of bread?

 

[evilpenguin]

Oh well almost 100% yesterday! Didn't fancy another cereal bar so split my B into 2 which is probably a cheat more than tweak lol and I had 1 syn too many! Better than munching muffins though

 

[icklerockchick]

You can totally split your hexs some people used to say it was tweaking but the sw site now states that you can x

 

[evilpenguin]

Ah I thought so!

 

[evilpenguin]

EE today

Breakfast: harvest morn bar (3 syns) skinny hazelnut latte (HEA plus syns not sure how many)
Lunch: dunno yet
Dinner: chilli I think
Snacks: none yet
Total syns: 3

 

[evilpenguin]

I did it again ate a cinnamon roll from Ikea and a pasta salad from Sainsburys.

To be fair, my bf was an ass to me beforehand and it seemed like a good way to cheer myself up

Aaaarrghhh!!!!!!

Maybe I shouldn't eat again until the exam tomorrow is over and I have nothing to stress about?!

 

[evilpenguin]

Woop! College is finished! got an A in my last exam so pretty sure I met my condition for uni will have my certificate in a couple of weeks!

Haven't ate anything off plan today which has been nice but the bf and I are planning a wee drink tonight to celebrate!

So apart from drinks it should be 100%! Red today

Breakfast: skinny hazelnut latte (HEA and syns not sure need to check)
Lunch: harvest morn bar (3 syns) satsuma, baked stars (5 syns)
Dinner: burgers (HEB x2 and either A or syns for cheese depends if I use slices or not)
Snacks: alcohol (36775257 syns)
Total syns: food 8, drinks unsure

 

[icklerockchick]

Thanks! Yup I believe so, the tutor works it out using some magic formula but based on the grades I got I think I've done it! xx

Red today, very hungover so probably won't eat normal food

Breakfast: bacon & black pudding roll (7 syns plus HEB)
Lunch: baked stars (5 syns) go ahead slice (3.5 syns) WW cake (4 syns)
Dinner: the burgers we were meant to have yesterday before we drank lots of booze instead (HEB, HEA)
Snacks: none
Total syns: 19.5

 

[evilpenguin]

Unsurprisingly gained this week, 2lbs on. Was expecting worse tbh!

 

[evilpenguin]

Was visiting the bf's family yesterday so food was slightly off plan but not really bad! Had a bacon sandwich for breakfast before we left then 2 beers, cookies, trout, potato salad, meats, a mini sausage roll and mini sausages. Had toast with jam when I got home and more potato salad that was given to us doggy bag style lol.

Not sure what's planned for dinner or lunch or anything today so will post a food diary later.

 

[evilpenguin]

Yesterday went horribly wrong! I was on red and ate rice with lunch without even thinking, I snacked on mini salmon pastry things cos I was bored, had 2 cans of cider with dinner and ate 4 HEB choices (2 rolls with burgers for dinner, toast, cereal bars and more toast)...... I tried to save it all with a WW yoghurt and lots of fruit but I think it was a lost cause by that point

Today I had to get up early to arrange my JSA appointment, so instead of going back to bed like I'd planned to do I decided to stay up! I think laying in bed until lunchtime is bad for me anyway I think I've had my epiphany... I need to stick to this for at least one day! The first day is always the hardest I find. It's like stopping smoking or something! But I think if I can force myself to get out of bed when I have nothing to get up for, I can control my eating!

So today I will get back on track! The stressful things that were distracting me before have settled down now, no more exams to worry about, life at home is bearable again (especially since the internet got put back on), I think money is ok for at least a month, so I don't really have much to blame my binging on! Obviously my health anxiety is ruining my life but if I let it do that then it just gets worse. I worry so much about my health and then I binge on bad food, it makes no sense I have my initial assessment or whatever it's called with a therapist next week so hopefully that will help. Just trying not to think about the kidney scan I'm having done this week.

Anyway, I have a wedding to go to in 9 weeks time, I wanted to lose 40lbs for it but I don't think that's manageable in 9 weeks. 20lbs is though! Just about lol. I am 19st 1lb (well I was on Saturday) so that would take me to about 17 and a half stone.. I want to do it!!!!!!

There is this horrible wee bit of my brain that keeps thinking "but I can't be bothered" jeezo! How do I get it to shut up?!

I think I will go look at pretty size 22 dresses for this wedding! Maybe that will shut it up

Food diary later cos all I've had so far is 2 coffees

 

[evilpenguin]

All the pretty dresses are for sizes 18 or under. Poo! Oh well. Will see what Evans / Inspire at New Look have on offer.

Not eaten yet so think I probably should....

EE today

Breakfast: coffees (HEA)
Lunch: BLT roll (HEB, 2.5 syns light Philly, 1 syn mayo) Greek muller (0.5 syns) with strawberries, cherries and grapes
Dinner: spaghetti bolognese
Snacks: BBQ chicken skewers (3.5 syns) alpen light (3 syns) yeo valley yoghurt with cherries, grapes and strawberries (5 syns) satsuma
Total syns: 15.5

Just been browsing minimins for the first time in ages! For a while there I was only going to my subbed threads as I wasn't getting any free time to use the internet, and I didn't have any internet to use for a couple of weeks, so was using the app a lot. But now that I'm unemployed and college is finished I actually had time to look around! I dunno, maybe minimin's usage should be a part of the plan, cos it really helps kick your motivation back in place. Just seeing how well everyone is doing makes me want to do it even more. I have that butterflies in the tummy feeling just now! I feel excited again!!!

And I have a job interview on Thursday! I probably won't get it but at least I got an interview

My plan to start my fitness game today went out the window though, time goes far too quick when you're online. Need to be showered & ready to leave by 3pm so no time to look at the game now. I suppose I better go shower
