Feeling your pain today. Was good yesterday but this morning I have a 2lb gain!! I refuse to believe it, our bodies are just out of balance this morning that's all!

Love the sound of your lunch!!

cheese and onion "pasty"
i got this from Amy (law3a3m) and have had it twice...yum -meeee! lol

peel and cube a potato, chop an onion and cook them in the microwave with a wee drop veg stock (i missed this out and it was fine)
when it's mashable, add your HEa cheese and stuff in to a ww wm pitta bread, spray with frylight and put it in the oven.

i proper enjoyed this!
and with sw chips and beans it would be comfort food to the max lol.

ok so it's never gonna be a cheese and onion pasty from gregs....but it's as near as we'll get guilt free! lol.

perfect for a green day seeing as we have 2 HE's! x

Hey everyone!

Well it's hangover Saturday... went to a friend's housewarming party last night and it lasted until the sun came up, so today is a VERY lazy day! :D Stuck to vodka and diet coke the whole night, well done me!

Back on plan today, despite the hangover, because I was super happy with what the scales said this morning - 10st 9.75lbs!! Might just be a fluke from a bit of dehydration etc so won't count my chickens for it still being there tomorrow, but am figuring that if I have an on plan day today I'm giving myself the best possible chance :)

Brunch: Bacon Buttie made with bread (HEB), Turkey Rashers, Butter (2.5) & Brown Sauce (1)
Dinner: Salmon Fillet, Mini Roast Potatoes, Peach
Snacks: 3 x Amaretti (3), 200ml Oatly Choc Milk (don't like it quite as much as the Koko one!)

Summary (EE): 1 x HEA, 1 x HEB, 6.5 Syns

30 Day Shred again in the morning, am going to try and do it every day from now til Vegas, 2 weeks tomorrow! :D

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend everyone, hope you've all got nice plans?! xx

Ooh love saving myself up for a big night out!! Makes it so worth it once it comes around! :D
 
And why should you have to say no? People who are slim for life don't deny themself treats on special occasions, it's all about compensating before and/or after :D
 
It's not really sunk in yet that it's only 2 weeks away!! Have been so busy at work that I just haven't concentrated on it at all! Might start first stages of packing this weekend as have got a busy one next weekend! :D
 
I was like that when we want to Florida 2 years ago I was on secondment in Exeter for the 2 weeks before we went so literally cam back unpacked and repacked for holiday. Was maybe a good thing as I couldn't sleep when we booked it on my birthday which was 5 weeks earlier I was so excited work made the time go faster! xx
 
Hello ladies!

Have just booked my Alcatraz trip for San Francisco so am muchos excited! :D So that's Grand Canyon, Cirque De Soleil, & Alcatraz sorted, now just need to decide which clubs to get ourselves booked into in Vegas, and which restaurants for me to book myself into in San Francisco! :D

Have had a very productive morning so far... house cleaned (well, 90% of it, am putting off the bathroom), 30 Day Shred done, holiday research started, brunch made... and now am going to get myself showered and dressed so I can head out and enjoy the sunshine for a few hours :)

Brunch: "Bacon Buttie" made with bread (HEB), turkey rashers, low fat butter (2.5) and brown sauce (1)
Snacks: Fruit
Dinner: Really struggling to decide!! Chips & Dips, Spicy Chorizo Pasta, Smash Pizza, or something else entirely!
 
Decision finally made on dinner (good thing seeing as it's nearly 4pm!)...

Brunch: "Bacon Buttie" made with bread (HEB), turkey rashers, low fat butter (2.5) and brown sauce (1)
Snacks: Salt n Vinegar Skips (4), Apple
Dinner: Pulled Pork with Sweet Potato & Butternut Mash, Sugarsnap Peas & BBQ Sauce - might also do a few potato wedges with this
Snacks: Serrano Ham & Peach, 15 Bitsa Wispa (10), Oatly Choc Milk (HEA)

Summary: 1 x HEA, 1 x HEB, 17.5 Syns, 30 Day Shred Level 1 Day 2

Just been and bought myself some 3kg weights for 30 Day Shred - have been using 1.5kg but on some of the exercises it feels like they're doing nothing, so will switch to 3kgs for those ones - can't see myself getting any higher than the 1.5kg on any of the moves that are combined with lunges, they all kill me as they are! :D

And now I've stocked up on all my fruit n veg for the week I'm off for a little wander around the shops to get in some more body magic whilst potentially having a look for any last little holiday treats I might want! :D The shops are open til 6 so I'm hoping the bulk of the kids off on their school hols will have buggered off by this time?! :D Although I am going to be a bit naughty too... the Hotel Chocolat summer sale started today and I really want one of the summer selection boxes, so if they have any left I will definitely be buying one - but it'll be for going in the holiday suitcase rather than for eating now - I'd rather take my absolute favourite chocs away with me than raid rubbish ones out of the mini bar in my hotel room ;)

There were none of the summer selection boxes left :( So I took that as a sign from fate and decided not to buy the champagne truffles selection that was there instead! :D

Pulled pork dinner was yum but could have eaten twice as much, my appetite is raging today!!

Hey lovely! Am really struggling to resist chocolate this evening, the thought of those Bitsa Wispa in the fridge will not leave my mind, doh!! :rolleyes: How's things with you? x
 
Things are alright! In a bit of a pickle mentally though. Craig has finally gone - unsurprisingly he's latched on to one of the girls he cheated on me with and has moved in with her. Still got his stuff here at the moment though until he comes and gets it but he's refusing to give me his house keys unless he takes the dog. We got Dexter together but he's claiming him as his and is being cruel about it. Financially for me it's the best choice but it will break my heart.

On the other side of things, I had a second date this weekend with a lad named Chris. I met him a few weekends ago (4lb loss weekend) and we got on great and he came round yesterday and stayed the night. Things went well! He was a bit off-ish this morning but I'm not sure if that was through lack of sleep and the fact he forgot his toothbrush and he didn't feel so fresh. He gave me a few kisses before he left though and bought me a surprise present of tobacco from around the shop (I had run out and got no money until Friday) haha! Not heard from him since though so I'm going ARGHHH DOES HE LIKE ME!? His mannerisms and actions are saying he does, but I still have a niggling in my head.

Haha sorry I'll stop now and fill all the details in on my diary when/if I hear back from him haha! If I don't update mine, it's gone sour! xxx
 
Wow sounds like you've had a real up and down weekend with the males of the species!! Could you just change the locks on the house so you don't need to worry about getting the keys back?? It's a bit harsh that he's demanding the dog, why does he have any more right to him than you? But oooooh exciting on the date front, go you!! :D I'm sure you'll hear back, but if you don't, his loss, and destiny giving you another chance to find an even better one the next time! ;) Want to give me some dating tips?! I am shocking at it!! x
