Having a bit of a crap time in work at the moment, and this is not good for me... had a bad meeting in London yesterday so binged on the train home (after resisting all biscuits at the meeting ???)

Anyways plan for today:

Friday 13th August - Green

Breakfast: Beans on toast (HEXB) with 2 coffees (from HEXA)

Throughout the morning: 2x750ml bottle water, Muller

Lunch: Salad with HB egg and EL Salad cream (1syn)

Throughout the afternoon: Carrot sticks

Dinner: Pizza, fries and lots of wine

Total syns: Way way way too many (again)

My Lentil Dhal

I think I figured out how to upload pictures. Here's the lentil dhal I made the other night with chips and rice:

Drawing the Line

This week has been a BAD week. In typical pre-SW fashion I have used stresses at work as an excuse to turn to naughtys.

Well NO MORE I say!! :whoopass:

Luckily for me I did manage to lose 0.5lb this week, giving me my new shiny.

But it would have been 1.5lbs if I hadn't gone off track last night (yes with the new scales I have turned into a naughty daily weigher - but I'm ok with it, it's a kind of comfort)

Today I am completely back on track and determined to lose at least 2lb next week pre-holiday with a kinda fishy week planned...

Shouldn't be anything to sabotage it... going to have a good day today (with veg chilli already made), then we're going to a christening tomorrow with a do afterwards - going to stick to diet coke and keep away from the buffet with a stash of alpen lights and fruit, then a free week until our hol next Saturday.

Well done for your loss Sarah. Your lentil dahl looks gorgeous. I'll definitely make it when I get back from France. Have a lovely holiday if I don't come on here while I'm away x

[donnajt]

How are things this week for you? any better? have just nipped in to copy your dahl recipe, donna x

 

[donnajt]

hope you are ok babe x

 

[sarah83]

Thanks guys for your kind comments.
Sorry I haven't been on much in the last few days - I'm having a pretty bad week workwise and foodwise plus I'm feeling really run-down and exhausted.

Luckily I have just today to get through, have tomorrow off to pack and chill before jetting off to (hopefully) sunny Devon on Saturday morning.

I have really let myself down this week by eating lots of rubbish, basically because I haven't had the energy to cook. So I'm going to wimp out of weighing pre-holiday, and will weigh when I return.

I will be sticking to plan on hols as much as possible, with probably a few treats, plus will be doing lots of walking so should hopefully compensate for this week.
My next WI will be Sunday 29th August.
See you all in a week or so!

Have a nice holiday Sarah.

Hope you feel better after your break x

 

[prawnchopSuey]

I think that's a sure sign you deserve a holiday!!
Have a lovely time, don't stress about your food choices, and then you can return to us all fresh ready to re-motivate yourself with lots of good holiday memories

Hiya pet - just been having a look through your diary and sounds like you are defo in need of a holiday! I was like that a couple of weeks ago and it has done me the world of good!
You will feel so much better once you are fully R and R'd! Whatever happens on holiday stays on holiday and damage is repairable - make sure you have a good time!!

I'm trying to get back on the wagon now but think I might need a few days to ease back in!! Hope you are ok x

Hi Sarah, hope you are enjoying your holiday and relaxing to the max!
