Sarah's Target & 10K Mission

I did download an app but it wasn't that great (to be fair it was less than £1 so I can't complain!!) - I've got most of my inspiration from people on here.

Yesterday I had:
Strawberries mid-morning (~30 cals)
Then a bag of salted popcorn (88 cals) and a Nakd bar (156 cals)
Then for dinner I made an omelette with 1 egg and 1 egg white (100 cals), leftover gammon (~75 cals), 5g Parmesan (~11 cals) and a little salad (~20 cals)

The pancakes you make with a beaten egg and a mashed banana are also amazing for 200 cals.

Lol...it sounds dodgy doing it myself, I know! One of my best friends is a hairdresser so he used to do them for me in the salon he worked in. Then he got made redundant so he used to buy the products and do them for me at home. He's now gone travelling and is living in Australia so I had to fend for myself! I did a bit of hairdressing back in the day too, so I did the cleansing, the sectioning and just let Dave paint on the solution and help me with straightening the very back. I did the rest myself. It's feeling fab today and I no longer have to worry about the Mexico humidity! xxx

Ah I see! Sounds good then! I'd like one but when I saw the price in a salon....eeeek!

I have recently just started using coconut oil on my hair though - AMAZING stuff! Left overnight is best, my hair has never felt better. I went blonder a few weeks back and always have to be careful as my hair can get quite fragile but this is helping soooo much with the condition of it!

Defo trying this!!!! I normally just eat coconut oil but I love coconut hair products! Boom! Weekend pamper plan!x
 
Woooop to 10.2 on the scales!! I must literally be the only person who never jumps on the scales mid-week!

Can't believe you did a brazillian blowdry yourself - does it really make a big difference?! I don't know much about them but my hair is a total afro!

Are you feeling hungry today after your fast? I've already had a cup of coffee, 1.5L of water, 2 boiled eggs, grapes, strawberries and blueberries!!! I'm beginning to think about lunch too... :giggle: xxx

This day I could do at work I think doing all day as I could come home for lunch and grab the popcorn and the naked bar as we sell both of those hmmmm am seriously considering this tomoro xx
 
Go for it, Belle! Look forward to hearing how you get on!

Lil - I love the blow-drys. I use the Kebelo system, which is one you put on and can wash off straight away. No having to wait 3 days for it to sink in (I couldn't stand that!). I would definitely recommend it if you struggle with the frizz! Your hair always looks perfect in pics! :D

I was peckish this morning but had my overnight oats about 8.30am, which sorted me out until just now when I had a banana and 2 Cheddars biscuits (2 syns). Gonna try and hold out as long as possible for lunch because I won't get dinner 'til about 7.30 once I've had my nails done and I don't want to be too rumbly when I'm there! lol xxx

Yep I am starting to cook with it too, it's so much better than lots of other oils!

It is best if done overnight to give it as long as possible to work on the hair and thoroughly shampoo out in the morning! If you google you get the science behind it but all I know is - lovely soft moisturised hair!
 
Oh my gosh girls...I have just had the craziest phonecall...from a guy I used to work with in my last job who has since be promoted to board level (replacing the pilchard who was my boss at the time). Apparently they want me back, but doing a different role which would be stand-alone working on digital developments and corporate/brand marketing rather than the day-to-day stuff) and I can name my price. It feels very surreal and I'm not even sure I should be considering it, although he has talked me through the changes that have taken place since I left and they are huge! Every member of the previous board, apart from one, has left so I think it's very different environment. He is going to take me for lunch when I get back from holiday to tell me more about it and I guess we will take it from there. I know some of you guys will remember how unhappy I was working there before and a big part of me is saying to run screaming from it. Even if I do, it's still nice to be asked back and knowing I'm top of the list because they haven't even got a job spec for the role yet. I do think I need to do lots of thinking and talking to Dave over the next week or so! xxx
 
Wow! That is cool to be asked, but I understand why it needs a lot of thinking about. My dad went back to a company he had left a few years previously, in a similar situation and stayed until he retired a couple of years ago so it can work. I guess one of the questions is who you would be working with on a day to day basis as if it people you already know that could be good or could be bad depending on how they have reacted to the changes
 
Wow wow wow!!!!

Firstly, massive congratulations. Regardless of circumstances, to be head hunted like that is a real achievement and testament to the impact you obviously have in your job roles.

Secondly, a lot to think about. I think go on holiday with the amazing feeling of being wanted and have some nice chats to Dave about it but ultimately, don't let it be on your mind a lot on holiday after because I think the real decision making process will begin when you get back...

Leading me to thirdly... this guy worked there when you did before so I am assuming he knows what it was like beforehand? Was he impacted by this too? I would meet up with him for lunch and have a really candid conversation (your reservations being discussed could ultimately improve the ££ offer too...) and possibly take a half day/day off and arrange a site visit. Go one morning and suss out the culture of the organisation now and if it's somewhere you could see yourself back. Being away from the day-to-day stuff might make the role different from before too.

This is very exciting for you!!! :) xxx
 
Thanks girls, that's really sound advice.

Especially the site visit, Lil. You could feel the atmostphere as soon as you walked in the door before, so I think I'd know instantly if it had changed. You are like my little wise owl of advice <3

The guy who rang me was there before and saw first hand the bad decisions that were being made and the atrocious attitude of the board. The board is now totally different and an equal balance between South Africa and the UK and with 3 women on the board too. It was a proper old boys club before!! I can definitely be honest with him so yes, a candid discussion is definitely on the cards!

Just had a huuuuuuuuuuge sugar craving so went for 2 party rings for 3 syns - delish! 5 syns for the day up to now so can still have a couple later if I need them, but I don't think I'm going to need them after our yummy late-ish dinner! xx
 
You can tell I can't move today I am just on the net! Where do you get the hair stuff from, tried googling it but can't see where you can buy the actual treatment? I see the shampoo but not the purple tube I saw on your happy days post :)

I picked mine up on eBay but it's not easy to get because it's supposed to be salon/professional use only xx

Morning lovely ones!

Ugh...two things are bad about this morning. Firstly, I forgot I had my phone in the back pocket of my jeans last night and it ended up in the toilet!!! Nightmare! It's kind of still working, but it's not right. It's currently in a tupperware of rice trying to dry out! It's insured, so that's not an issue, but it's a pain in the bum before holiday! Secondly, I've got that pre-holiday feeling of work dread this morning...you know when you worry about what's going to kick off when you're away? Need to chirp myself up...two sleeps 'til Mexico!!

Scales still 10.2 this morning after yesterday's red day and am planning a final fast day today to see what that delivers on the scales in the morning! Tomorrow night will probably be a bit off plan as we'll be having to use up what's in the fridge before we go away, but there's nothing too naughty in there! Then it's holiday time!!

Calories for today are stacking up a bit like this:
Muller Greek and a banana (180)
1 pink wafer (38)
Homemade tomato soup (~50) with 2 crisp bread (50) and a cheese triangle (24) and a side salad (30)
Tesco Healthy Choices cereal bar (65)
1 pink wafer (38)

Right, I'm going to go and get my head down and work through my rather long list! Have lovely days, all! xxx

Hope today goes well and you fly through your list. I'm doing my first fast day today, so will see how I go! If your phone is sort of working that's probably a good sign as can improve as it dried.

I sympathise with the pre holiday fear, it's one of the many things I don't miss about my old job!!
 
Woohoo so close to your holiday babe :)

Food sounding yummy :) I need to try these pancakes again! Mine epically failed last time!

Don't over stress about work honey I'm sure you'll get everything necessary in place.

xxxx

And wowza £8 a bottle of champas! Happy days! xxxx
