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

[xmisskx]

hey missy....
just thought i'd post to say i hope you've had a good week and not been too busy with the butchers etc.

all good at this end, had great, on plan food all week (although i've struggled at times today cos i was out, super hungry and wanting to buy CAAAKES lol) so i'm chuffed that at this point, i've managed 4 full days on plan, full of superfree and just taking it one day at a time.

gonna weigh on monday but then the preparation starts for xmas eve/xmas day and i'm making cheesecakes and cake pop/truffle type things.

working tomorrow (BOOOO) but after that, i'm off so counting down the hrs

hope you're ok toots x

Hello honey. I am well but the butchers is super busy! It's been totally manic and tonight I am enjoying some cheese and wine at a friends house

SW feels well and truly a lifetime away at the moment. Haven't been on plan the last couple of days at all but I'm planning a good day Sunday and Monday in prep for Xmas

It's really good you are doing so well hun. Just what you ended after a bad WI. keep your chin up and stick at it

 

[sparty]

Hello you. Hope things are ok and you are ready for the big day.

I've just made a yummy paella dish that is awesome and SW friendly. Will type up and share the recipe when I get time over the Xmas break but I just wanted to check in and say hi

 

[xmisskx]

well hiya right back at ya

all ok at this end...shattered after a busy couple of days but that's me pretty much set other than picking up some stuff on tuesday i think.
went shopping today for all non sw friendly foods...including white bread and raisin loaf! lol and ingredients out to make my cheesecake tomorrow...but it's all nearly over (thank god says the scales lol)

gonna weigh myself tomorrow morning (weather dependant!) but after that, i can't say what'll happen...dunno whether to be excited or think eeeeek!

i'll prob be about but if you're not on here, have a fab time xxx

 

[sparty]

I have had a week of eating rubbish and I'm def ready to get back on plan pretty sharpish! Miss my super free loads!

Bet your little ones can hardly wait now good that you are mostly sorted so can now just sit back and enjoy the fun (and food pmsl!)

Tomorrow is the busy busy day in the butchers so I've had a long shower and getting into bed now so I am rested. My friend gave me a home made body scrub for Xmas and I now am silky smooth and smell like a chocolate and cinnamon biscuit lol. It's so lovely and really nice that she made it. I love presents like that!

I'm not sure how often I'll be on here either but hope you and the family have a lovely time and I'll look forward to getting back on the wagon with you in the new year

 

[sparty]

Merry Christmas hun. Bring on the sprouts!!

 

[xmisskx]

lol...i'll need sprout smoothies for detox at this rate lol

merry christmas to you too lovely

hope you've had a fabby wee day.

we've just had dinner...bring on the cheesecakes x

 

[sparty]

Hello hun. How r things? I'm still enjoying eating all the Xmas naughties but gearing up for January and being back on plan. Tonight we are having a nice salmon dish that bf has made before and is yummy. Bit healthier than the picky bits of late but not SW friendly per se.

I bought the new SW magazine yesterday and read through it last night and there are some
Good recipes that I want to try out. Going to make a list of everything I need for a great first week back on plan in January.

We haven't sorted out our new year plans yet but think we will go for a nice meal and then head to the local pub for a few drinks. Are you up to much?

 

[xmisskx]

hey you...
not up to anything for new year and i've been my shopping today to face the music and get back to it from tomorrow...i just can't face another week like i've had....i'm literally sabotaging myself!!!

went to asda and they have some great offers...tuna for 50p, mugshots, pasta n sauce etc, lettuce and cucumber for 50p etc.
i've also made a scan bran cake just now cos i went to holland and barrett today seeing as i've not been at class to get any.

forgot about the magazine...will try get it at tesco in the morning cos my plan is to go down and face the music scales wise...eeeek!

literally feel so rubbish, can totally feel the difference in my clothes etc, my skin is a mess etc - the joys eh!

had a gorgeous smoothie for breakfast today and yesterday - a banana, an apple, a cup of ice and 2 spoons of peanut butter...LOVED this and it was pretty filling!
not good syn wise for sw but it's not a bad breakfast?
we went to the carvery last night too so although i had copious amounts of chocolate etc as well, the fruit in the morning and the veg with dinner was a step in the right direction lol.

think i'm now at the point where i'm just eating all this sh1t for the sake of it...don't know what i want to eat cos nothing is appealing....even the famous cheese scones from the butchers lol.(although it's not stopping me from ramming it all into my gob! )

i pretty much have nothing on from now until a wedding in feb so there is NO reason why i can't be 100% on plan like i was for most of this year....no reason at all...i'm ready to get back to it...i'm just hoping that i don't struggle etc.

star week is due on tues so that might be the only thing (if i need a quick sugar rush to sort out the shakes etc) but i found some (out of date) dextro energy tablets so they might be better?

had spag bol (with dolmio) and garlic bread for dinner there...was good cos it's been a while but i'm so paranoid i look visibly heavier so i need to nip this in the bud.

hope you've been enjoying your festivities love x

 

[sparty]

I feel like I'm sabotaging myself a little as well but I can't afford to go food shopping til payday on New Year's Eve and we have plans for a nice meal out then anyway. I've done an 8 day dinner plan to get me started and written a shopping list so hopefully it won't be too painful to get back on the wagon.

I weighed this morning and showing a 6lb gain! *gulp* back to the beginning it seems but I don't regret it actually as if I hadn't lost some weight in the first place I would be even heavier! It's star week for me next week but I've been mucking about with my pill since I was working so early in the butchers and now lying in a bit so I'll prob have a horrid time of it this time! *sigh*

Dinner tonight was lovely and I think bf can adapt it to make it more SW friendly meaning it can become a regular dish not sure what tomorrow will bring but I'm gonna try and get some veggies in. Really missed them with all this picky food everywhere I go!!

 

[xmisskx]

aww hopefully you're not too bad with * week....does being on the pill really make a huge difference for you?

i should've seen about it years ago but due to my weight etc...i'd always just be offered the mini pill and i was on that when i was younger but i was still so irregular, it made no difference.
i didn't start to get them every 4 weeks until i'd lost a load of weight years ago and i've been ok cycle wise, since but i always wonder if it would help pain wise for me?
i'm kinda wary to muck about with nature in that dept but it's cos i've been there when i wouldn't know when it was gonna appear so at least this way, i know what to expect.

i've eaten loads of stuff just for the sake of it and i've kinda exhausted it all a bit...always a good thing i suppose...i just hope it's easy to get back into the swing of it...i suppose the 1st day or 2 will be ok but afterwards...and especially cos i'm off work this week - it's always better with a bit of routine!

was gonna start with a red day but i figured i would do green tomorrow...to ease myself in to it and have the option of carbs to help if i'm feeling hungry....hey, i suppose anything will be of excellence when i stop consuming 1000's of fat laden, empty calories lol.

was just watching shirley valentine there...great film, not seen it in years but my eyes are rolling so i'm recording the rest x

 

[sparty]

I've been on the pill for 12 years (since I was 18) so don't know any different really. I don't usually suffer much unless I have missed a few days (which I have this month). All that happens is it is slightly heavier, more cramps or longer so not too bad. I was on the mini pill initially and after two years of not knowing when star week would appear, ruining underwear all the time and basically having it drive me mad, I swapped to the combined pill and have been fine ever since.

I'm off food shopping once I can make myself get dressed. Need to get everything in so that starting tomorrow im back on plan and I know shops will be shut tomorrow so today is shopping day!! Going to get plenty of bacon and eggs for a SW fry up lol.

Haven't booked a table for dinner tonight yet as the restaurant was closed!! Will get on the phone as soon as I can get through lol

 

[xmisskx]

hopefully you's get a table then...we're not doing anything but i'm not really a fan of new year to be honest.
not been out for years....when i am, i get really emotional?? lol

i'm on day no 2 of being back on plan. the 6.5lbs i lost last week showed again yesterday and yep, it's a lot, but to be honest, i thought it was gonna be more plus can you imagine what it might've been if i'd have continued on to week 2??!!

feel better this morning already - less bloated, no tough time at the loo etc (tmi sorry lol) but taking it a day at a time cos i know it's always hard to get back into things properly after eating rubbish so easily!

i seemed to be hungry all day yesterday but stuck to plan (woo hoo). no wonder i was hungry...probably ate a fraction of the calories i had been lol

star week is here for me and i'm ok so far so just had some rice with fruit and yog so at least i've had something to eat! i'll try to nibble while i'm feeling ok...it's half the battle if i need to take tablets etc.
need to take my OH to collect his van from the garage (yet more f*kin repairs...happy new year eh! grr) so hoping we can go soon x

 

[sparty]

Happy new year hun hope you had a good night celebrating wherever you ended up. We had a good meal and few drinks in the end and came home very very drunk!

So now it's 2014 and it's day one back on plan for me! I'm just cutting up some fresh mango to start me off and then it will be tea and a SW fry up once bf wakes up. Mince is out the freezer for chilli for dinner so in theory I am all set!

Cannot wait to eat this fruit lol. I'm def feeling the lack of water and SuperFree the last few weeks. I'm also going to start the 30 day shred today and try to do 30 days with no break!! Eeeekk!!! Just as well I'm not hungover eh!?

 

[xmisskx]

Happy new year to you too

we didn't do anything, rented a film from sky store then i just went to bed (although it was like Beirut with all the fireworks for half an hour lol)

i am feeling soooo much better already for being back on plan...really...it just makes such a difference!

star week was much kinder to me yesterday too so that's always a bonus

haven't eaten anything today yet...too lazy but gonna get something soon. planned to cook a beef joint that i had but i've got left overs that could be used for individual dinners so i'll just use them up i think and cook it tomorrow.

hope you're not too hungover x

 

[sparty]

I don't feel too hungover but as the day goes on I'm sure I'll start to feel it lol. Bacon is going on as we speak. Thank god bacon is free!!!!

Bf is still in bed snoring away but i reckon the smell of bacon will wake him up sharpish lol.

Today is going to be a tv day in my onesie all
Snuggled up and warm! It's blowing a gale outside and pouring with rain so not a day for going out anywhere!!

 

[xmisskx]

lol at him waking to the smell of bacon

i've had some fruit salad and now thinking what i can have next!

it's not raining here yet...but it's cold...wondering when we're going to get this horrendous snow we've been promised

when are you back to work? next week for me...eurgh! it's a thought already after spending the last week practically in my onesie/pj's lol x

 

[sparty]

Lol. I have a rather fetching giraffe onesie from Next and it soooo snuggly lol. Bf hates it hahaha.

I'm back to work on 6th and dreading it a bit tbh. It's gonna take some getting used to getting up at 7am again! Plus I'll have hundreds of emails to get through *sigh*. But first to enjoy the rest of my time off!!

Today we are going to the pub to watch football at half 5 and then I'll come home and bf will stay there to watch the darts so that will give me time to tidy up a bit and sort through some clothes as my wardrobe is bursting at the seams!!!

I'm meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow so that will be nice. We are going to zizzi so I'll have to plan what I should eat before hand to make sure I stick to plan.

What is your food plan for today? (Seems wired asking that after so long off plan lol)

 

[xmisskx]

green again today i think,
only had fruit salad and some rice so far...gonna have the other quorn burger with sw chips (again!) for dinner but i'm hungry now....bit awkward timing wise so not sure what to rustle up as i'd rather not have my dinner early.

some time in the pub sounds good...and your onesie sounds gorge lol

i got one for my bday and for xmas and i'm sure my OH hates them too...but i love them....the only thing is i freeze when going to the loo so i've started putting a vest or pj top on underneath

never been to zizzi...what type of food do they have?x

 

[sparty]

Zizzi is Italian so I can easily stick to a tomatoey pasta dish for 6 syns. No problem it's quite a big chain down here - surprised you don't have them?!
