Help needed for 1st day......

[sparty]

Well I made it inside as far as the sofa lol. Why not....it's my Bleedin week off and ill slob out for some of it if I want to

I'm off round my parents tonight to visit them for a bit which will be nice. So I think another half hour to slob and then hop to it

I'm so excited to see what will and Kate call the baby - it's getting me all distracted lol.

 

[xmisskx]

lol...quite right!
i think it'll be james....i don't think she'll want an old fashioned name but still needs to be a bit sensible so won't be kayne or phoenix lol...what do you reckon?

i saw some pics of her on facebook...he looks lovely and she's so pretty too i think x

 

[sparty]

James was my pick as well but it could be anything - it will be a standard 'royal' name like George, William, Henry, Alexander, James etc etc although I would love it if they turned round and called him something unusual like rufus or Milton hehehehe

I think she is lovely and I genuinely think they are quite happy together despite people who say it was all arranged. I think it prob was arranged but you can see emotion between them.

Mac n cheese is in the oven hope it comes out ok - looked very sloppy lol.

 

[xmisskx]

yeah i agree, they look happy and she just looked in awe with him in the pics i saw. thought she looked fab...a little weary (as you'd expect) but fab all the same and it was nice to see her looking a bit tired (if you know what i mean?!)

i've kept to green today and just had meat free burger on a slice of bread with sw wedges and salad...was good.

how funny would it be if they called him something mad like some of the stars do...that would amuse me.
i feel for her a little cos there will be so much pressure for her to be perfect with him...not to struggle and for him to be this perfect little guy...shame really x

 

[sparty]

Oh my god I love the mac n cheese!!! WHY did i wait so long to try it?! I just want to eat the whole lot in one go! Mmmmmm!!!

I think she will have nannies looking after him and will probably feel frustrated because of it. I don't think she will be left alone to look after him (whatever his name ends up being lol). Bet she has another one in a year or two as well. Well done to them both for producing a boy though - future king!! Wow!!!

 

[sparty]

Ooohhh they went for George Alexander Louis!!

 

[xmisskx]

saw that on the news when we were out...i bet she didn't want george...maybe they'll call him alex or louis in secret - harry's real name's henry isn't it?

i like the mac and cheese too...might make that tomorrow now seeing as i opted for meat free burger tonight...i always take some to work the next day and have it for lunch (cold usually) and as far as i know it's freezable too x

 

[sparty]

I did not know that Harry was really called Henry!! Wow - Harry is much better lol.

My bf is annoyed as we are having George if we ever have a son apparently (not my choice but he is adamant) and now it will be a really popular name. If I was picking it would be Harry after my grandad but bf won't have that! So I guess I'd betters make sure i have a girl when the time comes lol

 

[xmisskx]

lol...
there are so many different names..

how are you today?
i'm absolutely shattered and desperately didn't want to goto work today...done now and thinking about dinner. still got a HEb again so can either change to EE but prob do the mac and cheese cos it's easy...and yummy!x

 

[sparty]

I'm really tired too. Today is my day out in London and it looks like it will be good weather thankfully. We are going on a speed boat trip and then maybe to the natural history museum.

How are you?

 

[xmisskx]

aww that'll be good...especially if the weather's nice!

i'm ok thanks..currently deciding whether to do a red or EE day today but i was gonna make jerk chicken for dinner so not sure what i could have it with if i do red??x

 

[sparty]

You could make chips out of BNS?! Or just do a salad and maybe some roasted veg or veg skewers?!

 

[xmisskx]

i've got a butternut squash and thought of that but not really sure i have a strong enough knife to tackle it lol...plus...what do they taste like?

i've had a wee drop fruit and yog and have a breakfast quiche thing in the oven (sausage, bacon, eggs, tomato, mushroom and onion) so i'll have some of that when it's ready...can go either way so far....depending on dinner, i could potentially gain an extra HE!x

 

[law3a3m]

Hey hun-


Today is chickpea Dahl loaf day! How long will it keep for once its made? Do you keep it in the fridge or in a container? X

 

[xmisskx]

i keep it in a container...in the fridge cos i cut mine all up into little squares.
i make it on the monday and it does me all week to be honest...depending on how often i snack on it or when i use it anyway lol

good luck! let me know how it goes x

 

[sparty]

BNS is really nice - you can def taste the nuttyness which is great for me as I can't have nuts!

I would make chips since you sliced it up already looking at the red days thread (how'd it go cutting it up? Did you do the microwave trick?)

On way home from London - speed boat was brilliant and we had a lovely walk round Trafalgar Square and st James park

 

[xmisskx]

sounds like a lovely day...we've had sun, huge bangs of thunder and lightening and torrential rain...followed by sun?? crazy weather! lol.

i've had dinner...had the jerk chicken with the BNS but i boiled it for a wee while...which ended up being too long so it was like mush and they didn't go hard in the oven...just piled the chicken on top but it was spicy and to be honest, after a few bites, i couldn't taste anything anyway...but when i tasted the BNS straight from the oven, i didn't think it really tasted of anything...and god what a palava to cut it! lol

too much effort for me but i've done my red day now so i'm hoping it'll help cos i'm feeling really heavy and "gutsy" around the belly so i'm paranoid especially after the 3lb gain on monday...god i couldn't face another gain this time!

wanted to do red after 3 days of green so that there was no pasta, potatoes or rice in sight to see if that helps how i'm feeling? might do EE tomorrow and red again on sunday but will wait and see.

you got anything else planned for over the weekend?x

 

[sparty]

Well bf is on a stag do tomorrow and won't be back til late Sunday night. I'm meeting a uni friend for lunch tomorrow and will prob just chill out at home tomorrow night in front of the tele. Then I'm working overtime on Sunday. But I don't mind as I've had a week off lol.

I ordered a new set of weighing scales yesterday - ones that do your BMI and body fat etc so going for it again as soon as they arrive! In fact I'm back on it from tomorrow!!! So when I meet my friend for lunch I'm going to plan carefully!

I'm sure the red days will help - lots of people swear by them when they get stuck etc. just keep going 100% and I'm sure you won't have an undeserved gain! Chin up chick!!

 

[xmisskx]

oooh i don't have scales in the house...i'd never be off them!

it'll be nice to catch up with your friend...and hopefully not too much temptation in your way

i've managed the red day today but going to make the tagliatelle tomorrow from the mag so it'll be EE and as i mentioned, maybe red again on sunday.

i always take the gain every now and then on the chin...cos the week after, i usually have it back off and more...but the 3 on this time means i'd need a whopper on monday and i'm not sure i'll be amused if i don't get it!
aww well..the usual line coming from me...it is what it is lol x

 

[sparty]

The tagliatelle is one on my list to try as well. Thought the recipes in the mag this month are pretty good actually.

I'm pretty disciplined about not weighing all the time. I use scales at work to do body fat and BMI etc but then I still have no idea how much I actually weigh as its obv different to my home scales with clothes on etc. this way there is nowhere for me to hide lol
