Hello!! How was your bank holiday? The BBQ went well yesterday and it was the only sunny day we had all bank holiday thank god.
Very tired today and on EE as I have no idea what to make for dinner. Tuna pasta for lunch and some fruit but my head isn't in the game after a lax weekend.
How was WI?

hey you
WI was b0llocks....another gain! so 5lb on in the last 2 weeks! (and a 3lb gain for the month of august!
i did go off plan over the weekend (was out etc) and although i would've usually expected a gain, i think cos i had my usual 3 on last week, i thought i might've had a sts seeing as i usually have it off and more so thought if i sts, it would've meant a genuine gain which would've made sense so i was pretty miffed considering folk blow it all the time and scrape by and here's me - 1st time ever of having a couple of days off plan and that's my result.
anyway, i did a red yest but to be honest, i reckon it could've passed for a success express day and cos i'm back to work this week, the routine and grazing on healthy food all day plus drinking more water/squash will help....plus it might do me the world of good to go from what i had at the weekend back to healthy foods again?
but it's done now, i enjoyed what i had and no wonder as i've not had half the things since xmas time so maybe next one can be planned for xmas time again?
glad you had a nice weekend, i've also planned EE today and have some mackerel for dinner but might change it to green and have it tomorrow...will wait and see x

Ahh Hun it sucks that you had a gain. Especially since you are always 100% on plan and just relaxed for a few days. Sods law that it would affect you when others don't stick to plan and get away with it!! God knows you deserved a weekend off - you are more dedicated than anyone I know doing SW so don't beat yourself up. (It is what it is after all lol) hope you enjoyed yourself!!
Just get back on plan and into your routine of cooking snacks and lunches now that you are back at work (bet that's a killer after so long off).
EE for me again today - I've got a tuna sarnie for lunch and I'm thinking of making a mussamun curry for dinner - got some chicken out to use and a curry paste that needs using up. Will need to work out syns for the paste though.
What's your plan?!

It's a type of Thai curry usually made with peanuts (but im allergic to bits so I have nut free paste), onion and potato. Although bf is home before me so he might end up cooking it lol. Or cooking something else to go with the chicken.
We are really skint and don't get paid til Friday so living on what food we have in ATM which I hate doing lol. Can't wait to restock on cereal bars and treats lol

lol..nothing worse. we're skint too but there's enough stuff here so will make a list of big things to get over the weekend to save getting them later in the month. all works out the same no doubt but i always feel better knowing the bulky stuff is in - loo roll, soap powder etc and will try get a load of meat too.
what a day...i could cry i don't wanna be in work that bad same old same old and i'm sure it's just the 1st week back blues but hard not to dwell on stuff eh.
trying to think of food for tomorrow...not sure what i fancy yet so better get thinking!
that would be nice if your OH cooked for you going in...have you had the curry before?x

Mine has been up and down too and I'm thoroughly fed up and ready for the weekend! Off to Brussels for a work trip on Monday so this week has been manic getting prepared for that!!

oh that sounds good....how long are you away for?
work is just the same and i'm in over the weekend but needs must eh....and i'm trying not to dwell on it too much cos if i do, it'll just eat away at me and i'll waste time on stuff/people that don't deserve it!
how's your food been this week? i've been 100% and kept my syns really low all week so hopefully i'll see a good result on monday...saying that, the dreaded star week is also due - typically lol
as for payday....what's gone in has almost all gone back out again into the bills acc so it only looked good for a wee while...sob! hehe x

Yeah my bank account will be floundering by the beginning of next week too lol.
It's only for a night but we are going out for food and a drink when we arrive Monday night so that will be good. Might squeeze another quick beer in Tuesday before we head home. Be rude not to lol
My food has been rubbish to be honest. I've just been too busy and unprepared again. Although I'm going to make a lasagne tomorrow and maybe a roast Sunday so ill stock up the freezer a bit for next week!
Are you back into cooking Mondays now then?
Don't let work get you down - it's totally not worth it. Spend your time and thoughts on things that make you happy instead

you're so right, need to get back to switching off from it all when i leave each day
yep, back to cooking and have made some extra's today (soup etc) so will see how that goes.
EE today, have chicken out for dinner, might do fanta chicken and keep some for lunch tomorrow or use some of the sauce and have it with quorn to make tomorrow a green day...will wait and see.
if i were you, i'd cram as much in as you can when you're away...especially if it's "on a tab" hehe x

Work trip was brilliant - really liked it out there so hoping to be able to transfer out there for a year or so once I have a bit more experience under my belt
My friends wedding was this weekend just gone and it was beautiful! Combination of both of those plus being unprepared has meant I have been majorly off plan. Trying to bring it back now though lol.
Green for me today!!

Yeah he would be up for it too. I could rent out my flat for a little more than my mortgage and save the money (towards a house or maybe wedding in future?!) and he could get bar work out there....or even decorating I suppose if they spoke English. Just a thought at the moment but I would love to do it!
Well at the wedding there was champagne, wine, tequila and southern comfort for starters!!! The dinner was a scotch egg and crispy bacon with rocket. Main was fillet of beef with fondant potato and veg and then a trio of puddings. I just had the fruit and chocolate cup from mine and bf's plates and he had the rest lol. Then hog roast later in the evening with apple sauce!!
Was so busy the night before so I had a wagamama's and hungover the day after so had a curry!!! Lol. Well worth it in my opinion lol. Need to do some meal planning over the weekend to get properly back on track! Have you been up to anything fun?!
