Sandra's maintenance diary.....

That's more like it......was trying to attach a photo but can never manage it on this bloody iPad :(
 
Glad you had a great weekend Sandra, nothing like a weekend away to blow away the cobwebs..........lol.
 
Heee heeee getting a pure giggle at the posts about ur weekend lol

I'm getting used to the fact I seem to put on 4lb every weekend - it's usually gone after a couple of good days tho! Thank God lol
 
Yeah, a lb of it has gone this morning.......It's a bugger isn't it? We're out for dinner this weekend too......gonna be a bit of a sesh!

Mmmm the posts make it sound far more exciting than it really is, we have been together for 20 years after all......I'm just pleased that we do still actually have sex:D

Hi Sandra, can I ask, what is Elf spread and what are Red Devils? Can you only get them in Jersey as I've never heard of either.

Lol sorry to butt in but elf is extra low fat spread and red devils are Sandra's (and subsequently all of ours....) pet name for red Lindor choccy balls - both of which in sale in your local stores x pmsl
 
Cate.....we speak a foreign language over on this side:D

Ok so today.......did two hours at the gym, knees, tums and bums class followed by Pilates followed by an hour mowing the lawn when I came home. Felt fantastic but the downside has been that I've been starving all day! Consequently.....

B Slimfast shake
Snack 2 slices hot x loaf (all gone now!) elf spread
L avocado and prawns, cherry tomatoes. 2 finger kitkat
D home-made fish pie, green peas, 3 pancakes with lemon and sugar
Hot choc

Total 1940 calories, net 1564 after exercise.......so over today. Shouldn't have eaten a whole avocado but I didn't want to waste the other half, well that's my excuse anyway:D the prawns were in a reduced fat Marie Rose sauce and yummy!

LOL. I should have figured out ELF and do you know what, I did actually wonder if Red Devils was a nickname for those pesky little Lindor balls. They are so moreish. I've demolished close to a whole box in one go in my time. That kind of behaviour is going to have to be a thing of the past. But I do admire you Sandra for being able to stop at two!!
 
Oh I could happily eat more Cate but Paul dishes them out and says "you don't want a big fat ar8e again do you" ......I kid you not! He counts them too......
 
:rotflmao:

I never realised avacado was so high in calories!?
 
Yeah, hideous and I had a whole one! I did know how bad it was though before I ate it and it was lovely and filled me up.....

One more reason in my pros column for finding a man when I've lost this weight, to dole out my sweeties along with taking out the bins, putting oil in the car, filling the car tyres with air, washing and vacuuming the car, taking the car to be serviced and MOTd - hmm, as you can see although I LOVE the convenience of my car, I detest having to look after it. Oh, I should probably have put sex in there too but I'm really not sure about that one - that's in my cons column too!

Mmmm it does help, he never used to eat chocolate which I always found a bit weird but know he eats more of it than I do! I look after our cars cos he's not into them and I've always loved cars......I've got one of the first Audi TT cabriolets, still looks immaculate, serviced and valeted regularly and has always been garaged. I intend to be a little old lady and still driving it!

Mmmmm deffo pros and cons of having a man around the place but we've been together for so long that I can't imagine life any other way.....TBH I love him to bits, still!

The look a bit pooooosh!!! Then again, they are from m&s!!! :giggle:
 
They're little new potatoes, sliced in little ridges along the top and baked with a knob of garlic butter.....gorgeous! I've put the calories on mfp but I can't remember offhand how many there are.....

Mary, they contacted me on Monday and said that they'd let me know by the end of this week.....I've got another interview this morning at 11.00 so fingers crossed the market is starting to pick up and I won't be unemployed for much longer! I'm really looking forward to spending my own money again:D
