Well been to town with friends. Had a skinny vanilla sugar free latte so that is my hea. Sliver of choccy at Jo Malone maybe 2 syns as very dark and good quality.

[rockchick72]

just updating my stats after 3 months

Lost nearly a stone and my initial stats were

Bust - 48" rib cage 42" now 47 and 40
Waist 47" now 45
Hips 54" now 50.5

No wonder I am now fitting in smaller clothes!

 

[lottiebird]

I wish I had measured myself when I started, the inches are more important then pounds! Well done!

 

[rockchick72]

Do it now Lottie- it's really encouraging to see the difference

 

[rockchick72]

Planning for tomorrow

Breakfast - magic pancakes made with a fruity oat so simple ( I will have half so 3 syns) and some banana, greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey (1 syn)

Lunch- going to my mums but she is doing a SW friendly roast and starter and I am taking a 1/2 syn roulade made with syn free lemon curd and strawberries

tea - will probably have speedy tomato soup

will work out HEA and HEB and syns as I go along

 

[rockchick72]

Durrr- forgot to do the pancakes!

Had quite a lot of wine yesterday but food pretty good - really need to focus now

Am going green today

Brekky
Banana and 0% total yogurt with cinnamon

lunch
superspeedy tomato soup with 2 slices wholemeal (2 HEB) and 4 syns of light butter

tea
broccoli tomato and cauli pasta bake with HEA cheese

will have some fruit and yogurt as well at some point

Did an hour Body Pump class today - I really enjoyed it although it was hard. Liked the instructor and some nice people in the class who told me I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow but it gets easier! I think this may be my new thing - I am not good in the gym on my own (can get bored) so I think I will just alternate classes generally

Going to Aqua tomorrow and Zumba on Tuesday

 

[lottiebird]

Rockchick, your exercising is very impressive! I go to the gym but I'm finding it a little boring. I want to do couch-to-5k, that will be a real personal achievement. There aren't many classes near me, but there is a boxing gym I haven't investigated yet... It would be great if the have a class.

 

[rockchick72]

Thanks Lottie

Bodypump was great but then I couldn't move for the next 2 days so no Aqua or Zumba

Haven't really been on plan the last few days - succumbed to Easter hot cross buns and chocolate and as I have been off work have been drinking far too much wine.....very enjoyable but still...

I have also worked out that just before TOTM I am really miserable and crave carbs - need to be aware of this as I eat everything in sight.

Anyway-couldn't get to class this week so I am hoping I can have a good week and redress the balance

Today is red

Brekky
Mango and 0% total yogurt

lunch
roast beef with crunchy salad of carrot, celery, beetroot and spring onion with HEA low fat cheddar
muller coconut

tea
home made burgers with another HEA cheese, salad and HEB potato made into wedges

have another HEB to have - hifi bar and will count a couple of syns for the burgers (as although lean not extra lean- even though I drain it) and a couple of syns for a splash of milk in coffee

Tomorrow will stay red

Brekky
pancakes made with eggs yogurt and 1/2 sachet fruity Oatso simple (3 syns)served with fruit

lunch
prawn salad with thai chilli fat free dressing
Hifi bar

tea
baked chicken stuffed with HEA cheese and wrapped in bacon with ratatouille

1 slice of wholemeal bread (HEB) with 3 syns light butter

Lost in the wilderness of wine and takeaway :8855:

Oh I've been rubbish - I have though really analysed my behaviour in the past though and realised I always do this. I start off well, get about a stone off, start feeling better and then go back to bad habits - well not this time. I am back on plan and will keep going with this

I have committed to a 4lb loss this week (it's possible!) and will give it a real go

So today Green

HEA - 350 ml skim milk

Breakfast
Banana, yogurt and HEB golden crunch

lunch
my work cafe has started doing some great "big soups" - I have looked at the ingredient list in their manual and it is just tofu, veggies, chilli, noodles, herbs and miso stock - I can't see how that can't be free no mention of any oil etc - so I am having that
pineapple and passion fruit

tea
quorn grills, peas, sweetcorn and mash made with milk from HEA allowance and HEA philly light

HEb- hifi bar

syns- going to the cinema tonight so am going to get some sweets to take within syns

YAY!!!!
