[irish molly]

Hope all is well with your Mum. Take care xx

 

[JanD]

Thanks peeps

Mum's fine ... better than last time because she could see with the other eye - which she couldn't last time!

I ended up doing really badly food wise .. it's a 'when I'm with my mum for long periods of time' thing!!

Anyway - whatever the excuses, this is what I can remember ..

Thursday 30th June
I had my mousse for breakie as usual but very early, so by the time Mum went to theatre I was hungry. At 9.30 I ended up having a piece of bread, a butter patt and 2 rashers of bacon (I removed all the fat) - I completely forgot that Mum had made a special request for bacon & egg with all the extras for her tea. This is something she doesn't have now because it was the one thing my Dad used to cook. I had decided to join her but as I say that went completely from my head in the morning.

Lunch - Asda meal bar

Tea - Bacon, black pudding, beans, fried bread () & poached egg.

6 thornton's chocs
small piece birthday cake
2 biscuits
mars bar

wine

OOOOOOOOPS!!!!!

Needless to say - as a result, today is proving a bit of a struggle but I've managed to keep the snacking to just cooked meat (though some of that has been salami - not the best choice )

Friday 1st July
Breakie - vanilla mousse

2 cherry toms

Lunch - exante choc orange bar

2 slices ham
3 slices salami

Tea - chicken salad with balsamic.

Work - Meal bar

Hope to pick it back up in the next few days to compensate for my 2 nawty days before wi on tues, but I WILL be having me l'il dwinkies over the weekend!

Hope you're all doing good xx

 

[irish molly]

Good news about your mummy. Always a worry no matter how routine at her age.
Have a good weekend.

 

[Zenaworrier]

I'm glad things went well with you Mum.
You will be fine, just put those days behind you and carry on as you were! Are you going to Zumba on monday?

 

[JanD]

Actually no

I fully intended to but it's (yet) another grandson's birthday tomorrow! I thought it would be okay and we could go & see him today as he'll be at school tomorrow etc etc but then my son asked us to go for tea tomorrow!
At first I said we won't have tea, we'll just stay for an hour and then I'll go & meet my friend for zumba but when I told my friend she convinced me that I should have tea there & miss zumba again. I feel bad because I'll be away next week but I was easily persuaded. Alex will only be 7 once!

Anyway - to try to compensate a little I have just done a 20minute zumba workout dvd ..... better than nothing I suppose

Sunday 3rd July

Breakie - vanilla mousse

Lunch - Mushroom exante soup

Tea - chicken salad with el salad cream

V&Cs xx

 

[JanD]

Monday 4th July

[Zenaworrier]

Aww I agree with your friend. Exercise can't wait but it is great that you have done the DVD.
Have a lovely time at the party!x

 

[JanD]

I hope you meant it CAN wait xx

 

[Zenaworrier]

Yes I did- sorry! Gone from doing a late shifts to early's and my brain is a bit frazzled!

 

[JanD]

Lol I knew you did xx

 

[kered]

Glad your Mum is okay Jan, and well done on doing the exercise DVD. That is a big step hun, you wouldnt have thought about doing that a few months ago - would you?

 

[JanD]

Thanks Mary - It can't make up for what I've eaten though!

Yes okay my son DID do some healthy stuff and I did eat the salad and the carrot & cucumber sticks with houmus AS WELL AS **ahem**
hot dog (white roll, turkey sausage & ff salad cream)
2 small pieces of pizza
a few fries
a few skips
3 dessert spoons of pasta salad
2 squares of choc topped flapjack
2 bite size crispie cakes
a butterfly cake with buttercream
a mini milky way
piece of birthday cake

Only water & coffee to drink but as I won't be drinking tomorrow night as I'm baby sitting AND I've already decided not to get weighed in the morning for obvious reasons, I'm gonna have a l'il tipple tonight instead.

Back on track tomorrow .... I go away next monday for a few days so I need to make up for this AND last week ... June & July are busiest birthday times !! xx

 

[JanD]

The birthday boy x

 

[irish molly]

Glad the birthday celebrations went well. The little extra food is fine once you are applying the 80/20 rule. Just get back on track for the few days before your trip.

 

[JanD]

Thanks Molly .... just had 4 .. yes 4! galaxy cake bars. Left over from mum's party 2 weeks ago - forgot they were there xx

 

[irish molly]

Mmmmmmm..... Galaxy! Love the choccies. Hope you enjoyed the cakebars.

 

[JanD]

I did!! A bit too much

Despite what I said last night I DID get on the scales this morning and I'm going to report it as it wasn't as bad as I expected A gain of 2.4lbs ... provided I'm right back on track for this week before i go away that'll come off!

Looking after the little ones today so early start ..

Tuesday 5th July

Breakie - Vanilla mousse

Lunch - Exante thai chicken soup

Tea - Tesco meal bar

Babysitting the bigger ones tonight so no dwinkies (though there is about a glass & a half of wine left that I might have when I get home )xx

 

[irish molly]

That gain is easily addressed. I see you are in the attack with total TFR for the day. Are you sticking with that for the rest of the week?
Hope babysitting went well .
