MUCH better day today. And I stepped on the scales this morning and am 1lb down, so thats a start...

And I think we have kind of patched things up. I won't know for sure til I see him again. Which won't be tomorrow, possibly monday, I don't know yet, depends how I feel. He didn't realise he upset me so much, and apologised, and said he loved me and he struggles with that word, so I guess that means something.

I did what I usually do when I feel a bit down. I went shopping :D
Mum wanted some advise from a fashion guru, so I went and helped her, and came back with a heap of new stuff myself, including a perfect omg-i-love-it bag :)

Food for the day -
Breakfast - Poached eggs on toast 5
Lunch - Pizza Express - I chose to have pudding instead of a starter, and I had the American pizza for 15 points, 2 diet cokes, and cheesecake for 8 points. I could have had one of those salad pizzas, but I fancied pepperoni.
Tea was a late dinner, I had a bolognese bake for 6 points.

29 for the day, not too bad :)
xx
 
I get the diet coke thing :) When they make chocolate and crisps that tastes as good for 0 calories I'll eat them, but they don't! No point having extra calories. I don't even like normal coke anymore, yuck.

Still, made me roll my eyes a bit when people ordered large meals at mcds with TWO extra burgers, dessert and diet coke :rolleyes:
 
Longwinded Weekend Update....

Sunday - 4 bowls of cereal, beans on toast, and a burger in a bun... Hardly a balanced diet... 21.5 for the day.

Last day of eating silly stuff. Right back on it now. You wait n see.!

Monday -
Breakfast = Porridge + Sweetener [3.5]
Snack = banana [1.5]
Snack = 3 crackers and a cheese triangle [2]
Lunch = WW Chicken Lemon Risotto [5.5]
Tea = Chow Mein... [6.5]

That's 19 so far, leaving me 3. Decided on a kick start/fast start thing today, so 22 points a day for me.

As for the current Biker Boy & Jenny situation... I went to see him last night and there was a hell of an atmosphere. Never mind a knife, you'd struggle with a chainsaw to cut that. But, I'd gone round to make him a cake, because a) I make the best cakes in the world b) he loves cake more than me and c) I wanted to apologise for being a cow the past week. Cos I always cave in and apologise first... Anyway, the cake was to take 2 hrs to bake, so I said I'd call when he should take it out the oven. He was then all funny cos I wasn't intending to stay.. To which all hell broke loose when I responded with "do you really expect me to stay when you've effing blanked me all week and I come round to apologise for being moody and you sit and play on that bloody thing [PS3] as if I'm not here"... When I say all hell broke loose, I really mean I was overreacting, shouting and stuff... He was calm as anything, like usual, which, like usual, made me madder... haha.

Anyway... he told me to calm down, stop being irrational, blah blah blah, and just as I was starting to cool off, I'd actually sat down, he'd got me a cuppa... he said "I think you should speak to the doctor about the pill you're on"........................ Which set me off again...

But I thought on the drive home [about 40 minutes drive away] and I think he's right, I'm booked in for later in the week to speak to the nurse about other options. The moods are getting ridiculus now. Take Facebook for example... Some girl "likes" all his pictures and I don't know who she is. Normal Jenny doesn't care lol she knows Biker Boy is well & truly hers - PsychoJenny, on the other hand, wants to know who she is, where she's come from and why she likes my fella. PsychoJenny needs to go away and stop interfering....

It was late, about half 11 when I got in, so I went straight to bed. And felt even more like a cow when I got woken by a text at half 12 saying "did u get home ok?xx" Oops.

I've started planning my veggie time - I'm not sure if I should do it or not to be honest. Not for a full month. The problem when I was vegetarian, why I put on a lot of weight, was that I was eating way too much cheese and bread and stuff like that to fill up. I was 10 when I went veggie, and my mum thought it was a phase, and refused to "waste money" on quorn or tofu or stuff like that. So I filled up on junk and cheese sandwiches. Now, the meal plans that I have done for the veggie days, seem to be extremely low in points, since the vast majority of the vegetables that I eat are zero-point.
Typically, I would plan to have porridge for breakfast, salad or a jacket potato with beans for lunch, and pasta with a tomato based sauce, with veggies for tea. If I have that, I'm only having 12 points a day, and that is with a BIG portion of pasta. So, I'm concerned that I would resort to old habits and have cheese on the pasta, and toast alongside it. Or resort to having supernoodles everyday to take up like, 9 points or something... Or cheesey omelettes for breakfast, to use up a heap of points.

When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of money for a while. Meals were pretty small and bulked out with bread. Pasta always comes with cheese on top. My parents still have two slices of bread with every meal, near enough. It doesn't matter what it is, be it pasta based, rice based, stew, mince, pie n chips, curry... it's always got two slices of bread with it... Up until I met Biker Boy, I admit, I thought this was just the way of the world, I thought it was just what people did... I think that's where my bread habit comes from, in all honesty. But I have since cut back dramatically. As you may have picked up, I did completely fail the Bread Challenge. It probably would have been ok had I not gone away for that weekend! But I made the mistake of taking that weekend off, and never got back into the challenge. Pasta is good with garlic bread - curry belongs with a naan! But even so, I have reduced the amount of bread I eat. I rarely have bread with my tea now. I suppose eating with Biker Boy helps. Although there are times when the portion size is "childlike" in his words, and he'll make a heap of toast to go with it. He doesn't do things by half that boy..
I've decided to spend the next 2 weeks with a porridge breakfast. Except at weekends, where I will have my bacon sarnie on a sunday, and probably poached eggs on toast on the saturday. Mmm :) Drooling already! Not completely withdrawing bread, but cutting back.
I'm really not sure on the vegetarian thing. I dont think that it is a good idea to have such a low amount of points for real food and then fill up on junk or fatty food, just to reach my points. It kinda defeats the object of eating more healthily on the whole. But then another part of me wants to PROVE I CAN DO IT!!! lol.
I might do a week.


Work's really quiet today.. And.. my pet-hate is people sending emails with no subject... lol
Time for lunch now... Hope this risotto's nice.. I have read mixed reviews..! x
 
Bless ya Jen, it could well be the pill effecting your moods but do agree with Nikki it's most infurating when mentioned by OH's in pathetic attempts to rectify a reason for an argument other than the fact it's them that have piffed you off in the first place Mr H always asks me if I'm having a menopausal moment tw@t.
Know what you mean with the cheese thing it's virtually impossible to avoid on a veggie diet plan other than living on eggs and my nemasis Quorn lol
I actually love the Ww risotto it's one of my all time favs along with the chicken hot pot

Maybe it's MENFOLK that are the problem... haha!

Cheers you two, I felt funny after posting all that bumff then you two made it all ok :)!

The risotto wasn't too bad actually, I rather enjoyed it. Part of me was expecting to have the "rich food = poorly tum" effect in the afternoon, but I was fine! Will definitely add that to my list next time!

Tea tonight was not chowmein. It was green curry. With half a pack of noodles this time instead of rice, as the rice was going to take WAY TOO LONG FOR MY RUMBLY TUMMY!!

So revised menu today -
Breakfast = Porridge [3.5]
Snack = banana [1.5], 3 crackers and a cheese triangle [2]
Lunch = WW Chicken Lemon Risotto [5.5]
Tea = Curry - [5]
Snacks at home = wotsits [it was a 99cal bag, so 1?] and a creme egg [3.5]

Wow, 22 bang on!

Not heard from my dearest but to be honest, he probably thinks he'd better stay clear... :) I'll text him later to say hi. Maybe.

RESISTED CAKE :checkmark green:

And the plan for tomorrow -

Breakfast - Porridge again 3.5
Lunch - chicken roll + soup 4.5
Tea - beef + black bean sauce I think 4
Snack - a CHOMP! for 2... to be added to... :)

I dropped hints about him delivering a bit of cake to my work... I very much doubt he will, but it's work a shot! I reckon that would be 5 a slice. :)

Hope you all have a splendid evening. I'm off to paint my nails wacky colours :D
 
Hi Jen

I too hate emails with no subject especially at work - it's the anticipation that it will contain some interesting gossip to distract me - then the disappointment that it really is something work related!

Hope you had a good evening and those nails are streak-free! Only 4 more days 'till the weekend!

Hope your alter-ego is a little more under control this week!

As a single person I can hearby confirm that 'TOTM' or contraceptives are not the primary or only reason for mood swings. I was commenting to my friend the other day, 'Do you know what I like about being single? No extreme moods. Like if I am a bit grumpy I don't even notice really because I'm left alone. I don't ever get really really angry and shouty and crying.' Obviously the down side is you don't get any extreme feelings of happiness or being loved-up either! So, whilst you might be a bit up-and-down, I think the menfolk make it worse! Like Nikki though, I do crack up at your BB stories!

P.S. I have bright blue nails today, they are this colour how about you?!
 
He didn't deliver the cake, and said that he didn't know if it was a test because he was meant to be supporting my healthy eating plan or not... So I let him off. It wasn't a test, I wanted some damn cake! lol. He said there was plenty left and he wasn't letting me do anything at his tomorrow until I have sat on the sofa to have a cuppa and a bit of cake :) AND! I have been completely obsessed with Alice in Wonderland since I was a child... and he's said did I want to go and see the film tomorrow. I'll see how the atmosphere is between us :) And he mentioned he might make lamb curry too, for tea. SO! It all seems to be hurtling towards pink and fluffy and sparkliness again. *hands out buckets to all readers...*
I look like this -> :D ... but slightly less green...

My nails were alternating hot pink and teal-green today (a bit brighter than that). I think I may change that tonight, it's a bit vivid for keeping a couple of days - As soon as there's a chip, it's obvious...!

I've done some calculations, the geek that I am... Once I hit 44.5lbs off, that is 15% of my starting flab gone. :)
Not far to go now, I have lost 1lb this week, bringing my total since the start to 40lbs off. SO! Motivation please - 4.5lbs off by... end of March? Should be doable!

10.03.2010
Breakfast - One slice of toast, half a tin of beans = [3]
Lunch - 2 x chicken rolls with a smidgen of mayo, and onion. = [5]
Tea - Chicken Pasta Bake - [6]
Snacks - Snack a jacks, green ones [1] a chomp [2] a fudge [2] yogurt [1]
Supper - cereal [3]

23 in total :)

I think I have to find out if they do Caramel snack a jacks in small packets, like crisps, instead of just the big ricecakes. If so, they might do instead of a chocolate hit.

When I drive home from work, its normally country roads, but I pass through 4 villages and 2 towns. That's 6 opportunities to stop for chocolate.
Today, at each one, I told myself "I'll stop at the next one", at each one... and got all the way home without stopping! Hurrah! That, my friends, is a sign that the binge is out my system for a while. :D x
 
Oh... and placing a bet here... Because I know what he's like, and the weather is really starting to brighten up here, there's a lot more bikers out on the roads... he said "I should be ok to go out on my bike soon"....

Hmm...

I can sense a dramatic "Holy cr@p, leather's are too tight, JENNY HELP ME LOSE MY GUT!!" moment coming up soon... Not that he has much of a gut, and half hour looking at a treadmill he'll have lost a stone or something.. but I could wager he'll be watching what he's eating by the end of the month...

:D
 
Good to see your back to normal Jen!! And back on track without bingeing!!!xx

1lb off and 40lbs in total is amazing chick...well done you..xx
 
Well done chicken 1lb nearer and not far from a whopping 44lbs that is fanastic sugar

40lbs is amazing Jen! Well done you!
Glad to hear you and the man all back to loveliness - though I will grab a sick bucket just in case if that's alright with you ;)
Good luck on the 4lb challenge for March - should be a synch, you seem to be doing really well at the mo :)
 
Well done on your loss hun

Hope everything is ok with you

xxx
 
Hi chick, hope everythings ok, you know we're all here for you no matter if your on plan or off!!!

Take care chicken...xxx <<<HUGS>>>
 
DITTO!!!! Shouting so you can hear me way up there in Aberdeenshire!!!xxx
 
I'm not completely off the wagon, but last week all got a bit much for me, emotionally. Me and the boy had another disagreement, which lead to not-speaking, which has been resolved now. But that, coupled with my dad telling me to sort it out cos life is too short, mum telling me he was no good for me so to split up with him once and for all, my brother being a selfish stupid something and changing his surname for something "cool", my mum and dad being at each others throats, work going mentally busy, and generally feeling run down - Think the horrendousness of the winter has finally taken it's toll now!

I struggled with food. I didn't count at all, all weekend. Friday was a works night out, a team building meal. I made all the wrong choices, and had risotto followed by chicken and gnocchi something, and then sticky toffee pudding. Saturday, Biker Boy made an Apology for Being a Twonk meal, which was chicken in a honey lemon marinade followed by chocolate cake. Which would have possibly been alright if my pops hadn't got us a huuuge pepperoni pizza with chips and icecream at lunchtime for Daddy-Daughter-Sorry-your-mum-is-a-pillock bonding session... Sunday was a bacon sandwich, with a fried egg [oops], then a creme egg and a cuppa tea, and a homemade chicken curry.

My confidence is completely on the floor. I know the theory - eat healthy, eat less, more exercise = skinny. So why do I keep f***ing up??? I keep getting close to switching back to SW because I know that worked. But then, I think NO, I should stick to SOMETHING and quit changing my mind just cos it's getting tough. It's my head that I need to fix, I need to quit the bad-habits. It's all too easy to reach for a bar of chocolate when you feel down though. Too easy...

On friday, I text the boy when I was walking to the restaurant and said "Wow, your bird scrubs up really well" and he said "I know, she always does :)" But I still don't feel good enough, and it's all looks. I know I'm a good enough person, but I feel like I look like carp and I don't think that my opinion of myself is ever going to be easy to mend.
His best mate has a new girlfriend, and she's been in Playboy in Poland, or something. I said "she must be pretty then", and he said yeah she is. He was driving, I was tempted to smack his head off the steering wheel and shout "OI WHAT ABOUT ME!!"

Moving SWIFTLY on... to FOOD! I've eaten so badly today, well recently, I actually feel pretty sick. Too much rich food I think, so maybe a detox day tomorrow.

Monday : 15.03.2010
Breakfast - Poached Eggs on toast [5]
Lunch - Risotto [6]
Tea - cheese sandwich [5]
Snacks - Snack a jacks [1], apple [1/2], WW Mini Cookies [1 1/2], 2 kit kats [5].

Yeah, the kitkats were a bad move. I had these in the car on the way to work, before I slapped myself and told myself to snap out of it... I sat at work all day thinking Vending Machine but I deliberately left my wallet in the glovebox this morning so I couldn't do that haha

Including the kit kats, my points for the day total 24 so I'd better not eat anything else or I'll never get in Polish Playboy.......... x
 
Yo sugar ditto all of the above from the legend that is the Nikster lol
you are a beautiful lady inside and out
I could probably make Polish playboy too pages 5.6.7.8. And 9 should just about fit me on
I don't actually think there that choosey lol
it's lovely to have you back sugar and we girlies are here for ya no matter what
personally thinking your dad is a right sweetie bless him x x
