ProPoints Hannah's not sure what she's doing anymore...

[the_last_time]

Back ish on track!!

Just a quick note - I'll check in properly tomorrow, apologies for being so absent and not checking in with you (I'm on a train with patchy reception!)

I hasn't advanced planned today, so it wasn't ideal, but I'm still not 100% sure what I'm doing 'TDEE' wise!

I was back at work today, so back on my feet No bike, but still 7hrs on my feet at work plus my uni commute, 6-7 hrs, although not all on my feet! I'll be tired when I get in!

B - yoghurt, banana, dried fruit
S - oat bar
L - pre-pack chicken & avocado sarnie, apple
MAJOR error sarnie wise...I read it as 214cal, I know too good to be true. YES 214cal/100g - 438 in total!! Tasty sarnie though!
S - 1 nature valley cereal bar, chicken fridge raiders, melon
After lecture get to know each other drink - large glass red wine
D - pre-pack ham sarnie, quavers & maltesers

So because I was badly prepared & the shop tonight had no decent salad, I ended up with 2 pre-pack sarnies. It's not even real food & is so calorie expensive! I could've done without the wine, which would've saved 225 calories.

The damage: 1916, so below TDEE but just feel cheated in terms of not having a proper meal. I need to get better prepared...basically I'm at work 7-3, get to the station, train at 4pm, it's 1.5hrs each way on the train plus walking to & from uni, a 3 hour lecture, home at 11pm. So good wise it needs military precision to work better!

Are you actually gone 7-11 every day?? xx

 

[UKSerena]

15pp of cereal - impressive!!

Ankle sore but liveable with! Looong day today so looking forward to home!

I like the challenge of macaroons although there is a lot I'd swearing in the whole process!!

Patchy reception at the moment (train) - I'm about to upload today's food from a saved note in my phone!!

It tasted good ;-) I've baked many things but Macaroons is one thing I've never Made! Hope you slept well and the ankle is well rested? X

At least you know where you went wrong and hopefully you can make some preparation tracks for next week I don't think it looks too bad as a days food tho, could of been a whole lot worse! X

 

[the_last_time]

I think it was the being off work & so easily unmotivated...definitely better planning next week!

Jo - it's only Wednesdays I have the long, all others are fairly normal. Are you working & going to college?? That's most days isn't it?

If you fail to prepare you prepare to fail x

 

[the_last_time]

Alright alright

 

[the_last_time]

So I was slightly more prepared today!!!

B - sultana bran & skimmed milk
S - wasn't hungry morning break so just had tea! Amazing!!!
L - pork bean & rice soup, nectarine, 1 nature valley bar
S - graze tomato dipinetti
D - breaded chicken, orzo pasta with spinach & leek with philly stirred through
Dessert macaroon & flake, greedy

Got back on my bike today, which wasn't too bad. My whole leg was quite restless by the end of the day though, so enjoying relaxing on the sofa, bliss

Yeah I work 5 days, only have college on a wed nite but will up to 2 nights in January!! It's algebra!! I'm gonna need every spare moment to study!!! But I gots this... If I stuck to my weight loss when I initially started I'd be maintaining by now, if I stuck to running when I started I'd have toned thighs by now... If I stuck to a study schedule last semester I woulda got at least 95%... There are a lot of ifs.. So this time I'm gonna do it!!!! I promise myself I'll be at goal by November!!!! First time in my life I have admitted this but I'm gonna be a runner an I'm gonna wear teeny tiny luminous shorts with pride haha xxx

 

[the_last_time]

Ha ha ha!!! Teeny tiny luminous shorts, I can't wait for that photo update!!! Sounds like avatar thing to aim for.

It's all about getting your head down at college, so just get on with it!!! I'm a terrible procrastinator although I've improved since I studied first time round, it's somehow easier to focus now I'm more 'mature' - I mean in actual age not mental age, I often think I'm still 18, hence the sprained ankle!!!

 

[the_last_time]

Given up on the sofa in bed now, early night - lovely, just hope I can nod off quickly zzzzzz....

Haha is that a dare?!?! Are you still in college too? xx

 

[UKSerena]

Hope u slept well Hannah. X

 

[the_last_time]

Yes it is!

I went back to uni part time last year to do a masters, graduated 12 years ago so it was a bit of a wake up call!!

Hope u slept well Hannah. X

Funny you should say that, I had a terrible nights sleep! Well it was fine 11-2 & 5-8, but in between I was wide awake!!! No idea why - still thankfully I didn't have to get up this morning hence sleeping till 8

 

[the_last_time]

I weighed in at 9st12, which is officially a sts. Can't say I'm too surprised although last Saturday I sneaked a look and was 9st10!

My focus as of next week will be less about weight & more about toning. So over the weekend I'm going to take my measurements. I'll also join the gym over the weekend & start a new regime, yet to be decided! Then every month I'll measure again. I'll still weigh, but to stay under 10st is good for me. Some of my eating & drinking habits need to change, but for the most part I want to keep eating & drinking a lot of what I do, which is why I never get tiny!! Comfortable size 12 that's the aim

Forgot to say yesterday's total was 1750 calories so just under my goal

 

[UKSerena]

Well Done on your STS

i think that Body Shape is so important, nobody except us sees our weight, everyone else sees our shape!

Sorry to hear about your bad nights sleep :-( That sounds like me! X

PS-Tut Tut on your Sneaky WI, slapped wrist for you! X

 

[the_last_time]

I knew at the time it was naughty & not going to be a true reflection!!

Been feeling poorly today Cold came on yesterday, bored of feeling less than tip top!

Went to Leeds to visit Primark today...massively disappointing though No bat wing tee Atomic, gutted. Although, the eay bird catches the worm in terms of Christmas jumpers, got mine & hubs for this year!! We go to a Christmas jumper party every year, usually I haberdash an existing jumper, but picked up a couple if bargains at today!

To food:

B - weetabix, dried fruit & skimmed milk
S - 1 shortbread biscuit
L - ham sandwich, lentil crisps (M&S) - tasty!
S - another shortbread + unintended pint at the pub, meant to have a lime & soda (!)
D - chicken risotto & a couple of slices of garlic bread, glass of red, 1/2 bar of bournville

Total: 1878, so over but still under TDEE

Carefully planning tomorrow's menu so I can have my wine

Off topic, here's my cheeky swine bunny, being somewhere he's not supposed to be...as usual!

 

[UKSerena]

Do we get a pic of these festive jumpers?!? X
