Am looking forward to the dishes Kal!
Hello everyone! :waves: I have had an insanely busy two days! You may want to get a cup of tea/glass of wine/other beverage/cigarette to see you through this one.
Anyway, I walked into town - stupid BT still haven't refunded the £44 they said they would two days ago (checked today, same problem, going to ring them up tomorrow morning and give them hell as I've gone over my overdraft limit and cross my fingers they pay it back) but found I had more in my bank than I thought I would, or should have. Went into Starbucks, had a green tea as usual and then thought I'd pop in Fat Face as they had a jumper in there before Easter that I really liked - couldn't see it but saw a gorgeous skirt and top in there that I thought I may try on, just to see how far I am away from fitting into their clothes (they go up to an 18) - I picked up a skirt that was sort of elasticated round the top, so thought at the very least I'll probably get somewhere near an 18.
Tried on the 18 - It practically fell down :/ So I asked for a 16, thinking, yeah, wotEVA! But it fitted
OK, it's probably like a 20 and like the biggest 16 in the world EVA but I fitted into it. So I bought it as it was reduced from £50 to £20. Then I went into DP's and picked up a vest type thingy for £9 (reduced because of the 20% sale - I love me bargains!) which matched.
My Auntie rang me and asked me if I wanted to go over there for lunch, so I walked the 3 miles (on top of the 2 I'd already done) to her house outside Norwich up a fooking massive hill. Got there and she was like "OMG, where is your tummy gone?"
That felt kinda nice. I'd bought some crabsticks on the way (Nikki, I have you to thank for this - I never knew they were so low in points! A new fave) and we had a massive salad with the sticks and a WW yoghurt for afters. Here it is;
After that Auntie went to Morrisons so I tagged along with her and her friend - they ate their dinner there and I sat there with a diet coke - Up until 7pm I'd only had 4 pts as I had no idea where we were going, and then Rob said he was on route to Norwich so I walked the 2 miles into town (phewf) and met him. We decided to go for a drink before deciding where to eat, so went to a pub in the centre, I had a glass of wine and Rob a pint, then we thought we'd go to Pizza Express - so headed to the city centre one. It was PACKED. Turned round and went to the other branch near my flat - PACKED. Decided we could go to Zizzi's - PACKED. Ended up in La Tasca.
It was pretty quiet in there, and they now do an option where you can get 5 (or 6) dishes that are labelled Healthy - These points values are gestimates btw! They were Olives (which I pted at 2), Melon and Ham (3), Skewed Chicken (which is 2pts in EO), grilled prawns (1 - pointed in EO), grilled salmon (which I pointed at 4), roasted vegetables (2) and salad (which had tonnes of oil on) - 1.5pts. I also had a WW mousse so total for yesterday was 24/26pts - but it's all guess work so could be way out or way under! Only had one small glass of wine too.
In the end I walked 11.5pts of Activity!
Today we woke up late and had breakfast and walked into town. Right - here is where I draw a line _____
I haven't had a massive binge or anything, but put it this way, it's not dinner time yet and I have 1pt left. I have had today:
toast -1pt
cheese triangle - 0.5pt
grapefruit - 0.5pts.
So far so good.
Lunch - chicken salad thing from m&s - 4.5pts
crisps - 1pt
half a yoghurt - 0.5pt
Then suddenly, I thought fook it, I want what Rob's having - which ended up being pretty much a bag of hula hoops - 3pts and half a kitkat - 2pts. We went for a little walk, as I said I wanted cake, but didn't end up getting cake and had a cheese scone instead :/ - so that was 8pts (guessing again as it wasn't huge) and a fruit bag (0.5pts). Went for a drink by the river - large glass of wine (2.5pts) and then stopped off at Tesco's and I said I wanted a chocolate bar - ended up with the smallest one I could find and had a milkyway! 1.5pts. So that's 23pts in the space of about 2 hours
Anyway, I have a point left. I'm probably just going to cook a chicken curry type thing and accept I'll be over and do Fast Start for the rest of the week with lots of exercise. I thought I could go tonight without eating but then I'm just going to be starving myself and going to be extra hungry tomorrow.
Anyway, here are a couple of pictures - This is me in the grossly oversized 16 skirt:
This is Rob by the River with a pint:
And me:
Phewf, sorry for the massive entry! xxxx
