JanD's Maintenance Diary. Into the 2nd year :o)))

[Scotsmist]

awwwww Jan......you having one of those times where you just want to pop everything in your mouth....oh, had lots of those!

Do you think you are in a wee holiday mode cause you on your own? I am trying to analyse for ya chick!

Hope you are enjoying your wine!!!!!

 

[JanD]

Wasn't on my own when it started - well i was but not away - you know what I mean.

I've been fine since I got up ... was up for hours before I felt like anything, then had my chilli .. having my wine ... I think I'm back 'in control' ... weird isn't it?! xx

Edit ... I did have another one of those kitkats before i went to bed x

 

[Scotsmist]

I know.. ...but it happens and sometimes got to ride it out and let it happen or else it could just keep going on and on and on!

Are you enjoying time on your own?

 

[JanD]

Loving it thanks Iris ... Nothing against John - you know that ... just sometimes it's nice to have a complete 'lone' time

 

[MiniB]

Well Jan those kitkats sounds lovely!! Never heard of them either!

Glad you're enjoying your alone time. I like to be by myself sometimes too, you really do appreciate your time that way I think.

Enjoy the rest of your quiet time and not too many more kitkats!!

 

[JanD]

Thanks Bev - I'll do me best

I've been over to Cheshire Oaks and bought myself a pair of trousers (size 14 from Next ) 10mins walk - bit too handy

I'd promised myself a Pret A Manger sandwich for my lunch .... I've only had one once before and really enjoyed it. Someone else went to the counter on that occasion. I didnt realise they had the flipping calories on the shelf!!! EEEEK!!! Spoilsports!!

It did the trick though - fortunately they do 2 'SlimPret's which are half a sandwich (still well over 200 cals!). I guess it was enough ... especially as I'm probably eating out later too. I felt very self-righteous sitting there with my half sandwich & black coffee

I had granola with half a nectarine (only coz the other half was rotten!) & semi-skimmed milk for breakie xx

 

[MiniB]

Sounds like you've had a good day so far Jan and well done on the half sandwich and coffee, very good of you.

I haven't even looked in a Next shop yet for clothes. Cos they've always been for smaller people and not bigger ones like me (should say like I used to be). I'm in 14s now too so could look in these shops now, just old habits die hard I suppose.

I think the idea of putting calories on shelves in front of items is a great idea! Wish most other shops did that, it would really put me off pigging out, I know that much!

 

[JanD]

Oh I agree! In retrospect I'm pleased. At the time it felt like they were trying to spoil my fun LOL!!

Just had a pear xx

 

[JanD]

And YES!! Get youself into those shops Madam! Feels good xx

 

[JanD]

Had braised lamb's liver in onion gravy with mash, carrots, brocolli & Cauli .. brought left over liver back for the dogs. They practically ripped my bag off my shoulder!!! I think they like it! xx

Wine xx

Edit .. piece of toast - half with THICK layer of Lurpak & half with peanut butter x

Edit2 - 4 oatcakes with philli light AND a BIG spoonful of chocolate spread - good job I hadn't spotted that in the cupboard earlier!! xx

Edit3 ... .... caramel kit kat xx xx

 

[summergurl]

Yo! I'm ere for a little bit!!!

Well done on the size 14 Jan ... bet that was a fantastic feeling Like i've said - especially from next as ive always found their sizes small.

Its been a picky weekend for me and you both chicka! But those caramel kit kats .... barf!!!! LOL

Hope you enjoy the rest of the week and manage to get yer picking under control - i would just blame your son - afterall it's his house!

Oooh Jan, catching up on posts as I've been busy but scanning yours sounds like you are having a little yumyum tumtum time with all those illicit goodies!!! Oh well, have to kick the traces now and then but don't overdo it. Make sure and weigh in no matter what the consequences. I personally think it is important to weigh in regularly as it does keep you focussed.
Keep on track and no more blinkin kitkats!!!!

 

[JanD]

Ha Ha ... No ... I have left the offending kit kats in the tin at my son's house. I WILL weigh in - no matter what the outcome - otherwise I will probably just keep on kidding myself it's all fine.

I don't feel too bad - it has to be done now and again xx

 

[irish molly]

Good for you! We are all entitled to a blow out now and again. Life would be so dull if it were otherwise. Your weigh in might not reflect all your sins at all!!!!

 

[JanD]

Hmmmmm .... we'll see ...... xx

 

[MiniB]

Good luck for weigh in today Jan, if it's not too good just blame the kitkats! They shouldn't be so moreish, it's all their fault!

 

[summergurl]

Oh im guna chicken out of a weigh in untill the following week! Gotta try and reduce some damage!

 

[summergurl]

Good luck for weigh in today Jan, if it's not too good just blame the kitkats! They shouldn't be so moreish, it's all their fault!

Naaaah never ever blame chocolate ...
Blame the son and dh! hahahahahhahaaa

 

[MiniB]

Good point Tanya! Totally agree.
