JanD's New Year, New Start, Maintenance Diary

30 PAIRS!!! Goodness me!!! xx

I didnt think that was extravagant

 

[summergurl]

30 pairs!! LOL

I find jeans one of the uncomfiest items out there! Might be cuz of my job and sitting down in them for 5hours straight but after an hour they really start to bug me! lol

 

[JanD]

I have yet to wear them for more than about 3minutes :giggle: ... I'll be sure to give them a good trial before wearing them on a plane for 24hours though! xx

 

[summergurl]

omg! Defo DONT wear them on a plane! You'll be unbuttoning and unzipping them within the first hour! hahaa! x

 

[RetailChick]

lol nah I love them but don't think I would fancy sitting in them for 5 hours!!! I think I like them so much cause I have to wear a dress/shorts/skirt and heels and really dress up every day in work so when I'm not working I love wearing my boyfriend jeans and t shirt or my skinny jeans with flat boots.......or sometimes skinny jeans and heels if I'm just going the pub!

 

[JanD]

I don't think I went in GAP .. after a while all the shops ran into one in my head xx

Well done on getting your first pair of Jeans Jan. I am sure you will soon become hooked on them.

I got 4 pairs in Turkey last year (all fake) but I love them.

What on earth are fake jeans Mary? Surely jeans can't pretend to be jeans? Or is that jeggings?

 

[summergurl]

I think she means fake as in fake branded!

I think she means fake as in fake branded!

Oh what an idiot! I never thought of that, knew that you could get fake watches and handbags but jeans?? How peculiar!

 

[summergurl]

LOL Im sure you can get pretty much anything fake abroad these days and actually probably here too if you know where!

 

[SandraB]

I lead a sheltered life here in Jersey!

 

[kered]

I had Dolce and Gabana, G Star Raw, Armani I think was another one, and another fake designer pair. They look really nice too.

[summergurl]

Uh oh does this mean its your weekend to work a saturday night?!!

 

[JanD]

Yup! Fri, Sat & Sun That's how come there was alcofrolics going on the last 2 nights when I'd normally be at work xx

 

[JanD]

I've been using myfitnesspal & all those 0pp things don't half add up I tell you!!!! Yesterday my cals were 1427 & today (till I go to bed in the morning) is up to 1501 yet only 21pp. No wonder I'm not losing much!!! The BNS soup I made is 0pp but works out to about 250cals a serving ... I'll be finishing it off before I change anything else I do (besides the breakies I mentioned earlier) ... Poo! xx

 

[SandraB]

Isn't it brilliant! I don't know if it's going to have an effect on my weight loss but it's so easy to record everything and see what you've got left for the day. I like seeing what I've earned in exercise too, perhaps I'll only have treats on days that I've earned them.......except for tomorrow when I intend to get thrashed

Looking at your figures.....I wonder how many calories you'd have if you had your full 29 points? Could easily be 2000!

 

[summergurl]

Really makes ya think doesn't it when ya count the cals! Xx

Definitely, jan your calorie intake is too high for achieving weightloss. It will be interesting to see how you go if you adjust calories downwards.
It is a fab site. I've relied on it since finishing TFR. It opens your eyes to the calorie content of foods. It is important not to obsess about them but we need to be calorie aware.
