Jenny's moved on :)

[Auburn]

AbBash it is!! We're going to Rocky Horror and then on for drinks... Compulsory fancy dress, I am so excited! I've already got a picture of an outfit in mind!! I'm gonna guess everyone knows the theme, I won't be in suspenders and hotpants, but I would like to be a bit more risque than the usual jeans and cardi combo...

I am, today, completely confused. I'm losing centimeters, weight, and feel better. Today on the scales, I was another 2lb down but thats a mid week weigh in and I'm not counting it... But BUT!!! Emphasis on the BUTT I now can not get into a size 24 pair of jeans. Excuse me, but WTF?! I do not UNDERSTAND this! I must carry all my weight on my middle bit. I'm like an apple shape I think. Who knows. It's bugging me though. I have two pairs of jeans, both of which are falling apart and so trashy looking they are that dishevilled, but I refuse to buy a pair of size 26s. NO WAY. So what do I do??? Live in tracky bottoms? How can I do that at work?! GAH!!! Not fair.

And to top it off, I have a rather sexy looking Lindt easter egg here for the fella. This is hard. Last year, I did actually cave, and ended up giving him the third easter egg that I bought for him. I AM NOT doing that this year. NO NO NO.!

Infact, I think it was Easter last year that I kinda fell off the wagon and have never really gotten back on. Wow.. this is a "lightbulb" moment, people...

Anyway, comparing yesterday's "I'm eating LOADS" to today...
Well... I haven't eaten loads... Thick sliced bread and full fat jam instead of my usual WW alternatives kinda crippled me! The Cadbury Caramel bunnies for breakfast didn't really help either!! I did have my leftover fakeaway stuff for lunch though, and a bag of crisps... This left me with 8.5 for Tea and snacks..

I did stay at the Boys House last night, and I must admit, for someone who "can't bake", he makes bloomin good brownies..! No, Nik, not special ones haha, just plain ol' bournville

I was woken up at about 4am, to a round of questions about Easter - Due to him being half asleep, this consisted of comprehensive questions such as "When Eggs" and "what's good about it, why isn't it Death Friday"... I managed to establish that "when eggs" meant when do people traditionally give Easter Eggs and stuff to each other... I also had Why is it eggs, and what is the deal about hot cross buns... At which point I told him to shut up and go back to sleep... haha.

Today food was

Breakfast - Toast and Jam [4.5]
Mid Morning Snack... - Crisps and Caramel Bunnies - [=7.5]
Lunch - S&S Quorn [6.5]
Tea - Chicken Curry and chips, and two slices of toast. [8.5]

Total 27

I need to be better tomorrow, way better. Because I am actually hungry after eating all that carp...
Hmm. Away I go to make some plans! Today was not a good day foodwise!

BUT HEY HO! Happy Death Friday everyone....
Happy Easter for the Weekend, if you're into that kinda thing x

 

[Mumma K]

Happy Easter to you Jen

And on the Jean front have you tried on different makes etc
cos for some reason manufactures are moronic numptys who can't seem to get a standard size for instant
in good old Evans size 18 is a perfect fit now, if I buy from Simplybe it's a 20 and if I really push the boat out can get into (admit it's a bit of a squeeze) a size 16 in M&S come to conclusion there is no bog standard size

 

[Auburn]

I think I might have to have a shop around, yeah.. Unfortunately Aberdeen isn't so good for fat-clothes, the Evans has disappeared now, no-one seems to know what happened to it, so we have George at Asda, and Inspire in New Look....!!

Hello Internet Shopping, one week, 63 pairs of jeans, and hopefully 61 returns later... haha I might get a pair that are "OK" !!

 

[Mumma K]

* Kals is on the ROFL at the Old Fella

 

[Auburn]

Caramel Bunnies!!! I pur-chased 3 a week ago, I gave one to the child to walk back home with, she had the other one after her dinner. I got one for the Old Fella for after his dinner... 2 points per bunny, 4 points per pack... I had 1.5 points left, so thought I would save mine for the next day to enjoy both of them together and keep within my points. Flash forward to next day... Bunnies: Disappeared. Old Fella: Don't buy those bunnies again, they were too sickly.......... "Hmm, I would imagine 4 bunnies would make you feel a bit sick you fat fu......." - I'm still yet to try one! Hope yours tasted as good as they look.

Have a great Easter Sunday and glad Death Friday is nearly over..... I heart sleepy convo's! xxx

Hahahah See... that's why I hate Easter.. These things are always on 2 for 1 offers, or similar, so I end up getting 2 and scoffings 2, and as your bloke discovered, feeling rather sicky...

Ah well, one day, I might learn! lol. They are good though. Definitely worth a treat. I think you and the wee lassie should share a pack

 

[Kater-tater]

What was the Sweet and sour qorn like? Im not sure ive seen the crispy ones (not that i like quorn anyway) but was it like having batterd chicken balls? hmm?

 

[Auburn]

It was really good, I was aiming for a chicken balls style thing, and it turned out not too bad!

I got the crispy fillets from Tescos, they're on £1 at the moment I think, they were definitely cheaper than usual, or I wouldn't have got them... haha. I hadn't seen them before either, I guess it would work with chicken nuggets too!
Cooked the fillets in the oven for about 20 minutes, then chopped em up into the sauce, bubbled that til it was red hot and then served it with rice.

And just cos everyone else does it.. Here's a picture

I will say though, that the leftovers I had heated up the next day, were just as good, but the batter kinda fell off the quorn... hehe.

 

[Kater-tater]

That looks lush. Going to get some crispy chicken and try that! I had real sweet and sour crispy chicken last night for my birthday, man it was good!

 

[Kater-tater]

How many points was that meal in the piccY?

 

[OneDeterminedChick]

Hi Jen, hope your having a fabby weekend, that sweet & sour looked so scrumptious!!! xx

 

[Auburn]

Oooh the real one would be good... But no, let's behave, haha!

It was 3 points for the fillet, 1 for the sweet&sour sauce, and 2.5 for 50g of long grain rice, so 6.5 altogether, but to be honest, I could probably have less rice, or put 1 fillet between 2 servings and added more veg, rather than have 2 fillets for 2 servings to reduce the points!

 

[Auburn]

let's behave

Christ, did I really say that?!??!!!! I must be ill or something...

Hey Linz! Yeah, not a bad weekend so far! Hope yours goes good!

Breakfast today, was special K with a banana, and an activia yogurt with made-up-us digestivum bacteria in it... Noice... Anyway, total of 5.5 for my breakfast!

And I am having a creme egg with a cuppa before heading out to have a walk in the woods.

Activity points are at 4.5 already today - Wii Time

Keep smiling people, x

 

[Kater-tater]

I am going to copy you when i am back on on monday! I got some crispy chicken balls from morrisons to have a fakeaway

 

[Auburn]

Talk about perfect rice Miss Jenny From The Block! I thought I did nice rice, but again, thanks to you Mini's, it appears I don't! Meal looks fab, proper profesh!

Just a quick question... Is all rice pointed different? 2.5 for 50g? Am I pointing it wrong? I do 1 point per 75g cooked weight... Does this mean I have been doing it wrong or have you worked it out to dry weight?

Have a smasher of a weekend. xxx

Thanks Nik
That was for 50g when it was dry, I didn't weigh it when it was cooked. I'm crap at guessing how much it will fluff up, so I weigh it when it's dry x

 

[Auburn]

PS - Love those plates!

Haha ta
It's just a one off, I have no idea where it came from but my parents dinner plates are massive, and when I moved to sensible portions, meals looked really sad and lonely!

Go for the rice! I'm thinking pasta tonight, maybe a spag bol. Or just pasta and pesto... Not sure yet

 

[Mumma K]

Mmmh mmmh mmmh that sure has given me a right rumberly tumberly looks so scrumptious indeed would need to do it with chicken though as quorn hates me lol
from my week on RC's lol 50g is a perfect portion size of rice for one and it's certainly not stingy lol
I am also loving the plates

 

[Kater-tater]

Kally i got battered chicken balls from morrisons which are 5 peices for 2.5 points. Not tried them yet but am fancying this for dinner 2mo

 

[Auburn]

I think I have to investigate getting some balls in Morries!!

Wow well I feel rough today! Girly stuff, I want to curl up in bed and stuff my face with chocolate. Too bad, all I have is the boy's Easter Egg which happens to be a Lindt one with a heap of mini truffle eggs. It works out at 35.5 points for the whole thing... Doesn't help that he's the grumpiest sod in the world and makes me feel crap and unwanted. Intentional or unintentional. *shrug* Done worrying about it now.

Because my tummy has that horrible empty about-to-implode feeling, I had two breakfasts. One at 8 and one at 11.
I don't know what I'm doing today. I will at least head out for a walk somewhere, I need to have an hour of me-time at least today before I kill someone. I did 25 minutes on Just Dance earlier, then Dad got up and grumbled about wanting to watch the grand prix. Can't get away from the damn thing..!

Breakfast Pt.I - Special K Creamy Berry Crunch, 125ml Milk and a banana - [5]
Breakfast Pt.II - Beans on toast - [4]
Leaves 18 pts for the rest of the day...
I want KFC..........!

I'm slightly concerned about the amount of sugar I am having. My mum is diabetic, so I fear I could develop this myself. I think I might ban myself from eating chocolate. I fear that is my downfall, and there is rather a lot of sugar in that. I don't need it, I see it, I want it, I buy it, I eat it but I don't particularly enjoy it. That is because I am having it all the time and it is no longer a treat. So I don't understand why I am doing it!

I find Easter a particularly hard time for dietting. It's all the "2 for £1" deals on the Caramel Eggs, Creme Eggs, etc. I think "it's only little" and before I know it, BAM I've eaten 2 a day... Why? I have no idea...

I didn't eat chocolate for the whole of January, for a bet, so I can do it, I have proved that to myself. So, I will get this weekend out the way, incase Biker Boy has bought me an easter egg. If he has, I will eat it today rather than leave it hanging about. If he hasn't, fine Mum and dad didn't get me big one, thankfully!

Time to focus on me and stop having sleepless nights worrying about stuff... x

 

[Kater-tater]

Im a worryer too and its just pointless, no fun and makes you feel like crapola!
Hope your womany probs feel better soon, can also relate there ahaha

Ive got those morrisons crispy chicken for lunch so i will let your know how they are! They looks lush but that doesnt mean anything haha

 

[Mumma K]

Kally i got battered chicken balls from morrisons which are 5 peices for 2.5 points. Not tried them yet but am fancying this for dinner 2mo

Sounds really nice Katie, but no Morrisons at all in my area
