Nikkiruth diary

[Nikkiruth]

Started a new job today did 1 ½ hours delivering catalogues, so hopefully will help with my exercise, due to health problems I have decided to do this for the moment, as it will fit in with hospital appointments and looking after my granddaughter and it will help improve my fitness,

Wow congrats on your 2lb loss - you're doing fantastic! You must be so pleased having consistent losses each week.
I started my fishy week yesterday after getting back from camping - only going to do 5 days officially though as WI on Friday morning. But I'll see if it makes a difference, checking out everyone elses losses it seems like it definately works!

Hi Nikki

Congratulations on your new job hun . Are you enjoying your fish week? I'm on day 2 today and finding it ok, not struggling too much for meal ideas in the eve, its more packed lunches. Yesterday was ok, prawn salad and wholemeal roll, today prawn and smoked marckeral salad, tomorrow will prob be tuna salad, lol.. and not sure about Friday's one. Any ideas? xx

 

[Nikkiruth]

Hi Clare and Nikki, thanks for your lovely comments, I am finding the fish week so far really easy, I always have loads of packets of crabsticks in the fridge, also, in tesco's you can buy salmon trimmings, a 120g pack for 87p, its ideal for mixing with your salad or putting in a quiche, which is what I'm having for lunch today, also I brought a packet of chilled mussel's for £1, which I had with crabsticks and salad yesterday for lunch, keep up the good work guys! and have a good holiday!

 

[Eternalflame]

I'd forgotten I had crabsticks in fridge.. thats anohter lunch and good idea with salmon trimmings too,will have that with the crabsticks . Thanks nikki xx

Hi Nikkiruth, hope you're having a good weekend.
Wow you've been doing loads of walking for your new job. How are you finding it?

I'm impressed with your determined fishy week - I only managed until Thursday then caved into a carvery (SW friendly of course). I was craving meat so badly!!

 

[Nikkiruth]

Hi Sarah, I'm finding the walking a little hard, but I do have a bad hip and back and I do tend to push myself to do a certain amount, I have loved doing the fish week, only trouble is I took a peak at the scales this morning (I no I shouldn't!), and so far I've STS, I've have been so good, I've not had any fish for breakfast but I'm not sure I could eat fish that time in the morning but I have had fish for lunch and Dinner and done all Red days. I am going to have fish for my tea today, as I'm doing Roast Beef and all the trimmings so I will be having Beef for lunch! I weigh tomorrow and I will be dissapointed if I don't lose, I will probably try it for another week and perhaps do it on EE and not Red we shall see what tomorrow brings.

 

[Derbynanny]

Your diaries look great.

Don't be disheartened if you sts or only have a small loss this week because although your new job and exercise won't have developed muscles yet it will make your body retain water in the muscles as they adapt to the new level of activity.

Keep up the good work.

You have inspired me to make a smoked salmon quiche when i normally avoid eggs and fish together. I am on day 6 of fishy week too.
