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

[summergurl]

Nutella = healthy! 3 whole hazelnuts in each teaspoon ... nuts are good for ya! :giggle:

glad you are having a lovely time. Am loving the piccies though they make me very very jealous!!! :giggle: I even have the one you sent of the pebble beach as my phone screensaver

Enjoy the rest of your time there chick xxx

 

[Princess81]

The time seems to be flying by. Glad you are enjoying it. Come back rejuvenated for the autumn and winter months.

 

[JanD]

I'm HO-OOOOOOOOME!!!!

Torrential rain last night and this morning made leaving a little easier ... but only a little

I have been ridiculous in the amounts I've eaten and drunk. I've no idea why I went so haywire, totally off the scale (haha pardon the pun!).

I know that what I should do is get back to a healthy diet and gradually get back to 'normal' (?!) but I'm not going to. I've only got 3 weeks till I take my Mum to Cyprus.

I've got some maintenance shakes - I'm thinking of doing 2 shakes/bars (if I go and get some) and a salad or something in the evening. I'm not going anywhere near the scales till next Monday and even then I know I'm going to be beating myself up still!!

Why do we do this ???

Good holiday though great rest. xx

 

[summergurl]

I'd love to know why we do it too! Boooooooooooooooooo

Jan, main thing is you had a good time, which im sure you have done

And i'm very glad to have you back around the joint! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :hug99:

 

[JanD]

Awwwww! Nice to be missed **hugs**

Gonna check out what shakes & things I've got now. I think they're going out of date but they'll be okay. I'll get some bars to take out with me and to work xx

 

[summergurl]

Sounds good mrs think I've only got a couple of shakes left now all rest are soups which I'm notbtoo keen on!

I loved all the pics you sent me whilst away, including the one of your DH clearly not asleep!! Haha

You got plenty more pics to put up so we can all have a goose?

Hope today getting back on track goes alreet for ya xxx

 

[JanD]

Ah thanks Tan .. I meant to say that was nice what you said about having one of my pics as a screen saver

I will put a few pics up but I'll do it at work on Wednesday night when I've got more time - asuming the WiFi connection will be working okay!!

I could only get 7 maintenance bars this morning so when I went to Tescos I had a look at the meal replacement bars. Their own Ultra Slim ones are on offer at 2 boxes (of 3) for £3.50 so I got some of them to try. They're a lot bigger than the LT ones but about the same in calories. I have enough stuff now to do more than 2 weeks of 2 products and one meal.

Today - Mon Sept 27th I've had

Breakie - Orange Creme drink (or whatever it's called)

Lunch - Chocolate Whip

Tea - Baked Salmon with roasted veg (toms, courgette & red onion)

I've had a can of decaf diet coke (trying to pretend it's got Mr Smirnoff in it ) I'm not promising I won't have just one that really has before I go to bed.

I'm not reporting the result but I DID hop on the scales this morning and hopped off smartish when I saw the reading .... I know it's not even realistic the day after flying so I don't know why I did it .... but it was pretty scary anyway I can tell you!! Perhaps it'll help me keep on the straight and narrow, as if it's a real gain there's no way I can lose it in 3 weeks!! xx

 

[summergurl]

Ooooh Jan you have tempted me to go and buy some of those meal replacement bars! Where abouts in Tesco's are they? Might have a little treck out there before heading to work!

Im sure you will do fine in your 3 weeks and whatever gain you had im sure you can pull it back - you are the queen at it xxx

 

[irish molly]

Jan, welcme back from your travels!! You lucky duck off again in three weeks. that's the way to enjoy life. TFR should sort you out between now and then. The detox, won't do you any harm either!! lol.
Any way the important thing is that you had a good time and recharged the old batteries.
I didn't know Tesco do a meal replacement bar. A few of those would be handy in anyone's cupboard.
Good luck with the 2 shakes routine and hope you don' find it too tough.

 

[JanD]

I'm not TFRing Molly - going down the 2 maintenance and 1 meal route but thanks for your good wishes. Dunno bout the detox either Mol .... couldn't resist the temptation af a li'l v in the 2nd c ... there's no hope really is there? LOL! x

I have to say Cyprus is a duty trip/visit rather than a pleasure but still ....

The bars are with the slim fast, Atkin's and tescos own Ultra Slim stuff. In our's it's the same aisle as the medications/vitamins/protein pwdrs etc. 6 bars for £3.50 - gotta be worth having in as you say, 2 different flavours, choc crispie and raspberry with a bit of a yoghurt coating on the base xx

 

[summergurl]

I am pretty tempted to go an get some. They have ready shakes 3 for £2!
Do ya know when the deal ends lover?

Ain't nowt wrong with a bit of v in your c

 

[JanD]

I don't hon I'm sorry xx Enjoyed the v xx

 

[JanD]

Just had a look on the website - it's on till 13th Feb!! Brill!! xx

 

[summergurl]

13th feb! That's a long time for a deal ain't it! Not that I'm complaining :giggle:

 

[MiniB]

Nice to see you back Jan. Glad you had a great holiday. Don't go worrying about that gain, like Tanya said, if anybody can drop that excess it's you!

Great that you can get straight back into a bit of maintenace, good for you. Hope it's going OK.

 

[JanD]

Thanks Bev

I am on the straight and narrow (just excepting a teensy weensy li'l v ) but I've been hungry this afternoon! Don't know whether to blame the tesco ultra slim bar or just the fact I've been stuffing myself so much for so long

Breakie - Summer Fruit shake

Lunch - Ultra Slim raspberry crispie bar

Tea - 2 Pork medallions with mixed veg (brocolli, carrot, cauli) & a li'l bit of vlf salad cream coz twas a bit dry. xx

 

[summergurl]

Looking good today mrsD
Hunger probably due to eating lots whilst away - give it a few days and all should be alright xxx

 

[JanD]

Hope so .... I've had a very busy day, so that may have contributed to the hunger but at least took my mind off it a bit too

Currently having a can of caffeine free diet coke - again not guaranteeing the next one will be v free xx

 

[Princess81]

Menu looks good today Jan, never seen the tesco bars, must check out.

Keep up the good work tho, we have to allow for these things to happen ey? It's inevitable really. So long as you are in control, no issue really!! xx
