Sharon's Before 50 Plan

[TracyGWill]

I may be a little stiff in the morning lol. Am just a tad now . No pain no gain lol

Lol, what is it the annoying trainers always say on these weight loss programmes - pain is just weakness leaving the body?! xx

They're just sadists lol

 

[TracyGWill]

Yes, I never believe it either, lol. xx

Yes, well done on the bike ride. We had a great weekend with the lovely weather. We went for a really long walk on Saturday along our lovely coastline and took a picnic. Went out on Saturday night and had tapas, we ordered the best ones to fit the syns, yummy. WI today so fingers crossed!

 

[Aquasharine]

Weekend sounds lovely Geordie - weather today here is overcast and cold, quite a contrast from the weekend. Good luck with WI later x

Cheers aqua. Our weather was really dull and cold this morning but from about 2pm the sun started to shine, happy days. I lost 3lb at WI and am truly delighted after last week's disappointment! Big difference this week has been cutting down on wine. I made some sangria last night when we sat out in the sun which was lovely. Then I have had dry martinis when I felt the need for a drink!

 

[Aquasharine]

That's fantastic Geordie well done x A little of what you fancy sometimes does you good and makes the weight loss journey doable hey. Good luck for the week ahead

 

[Aquasharine]

Am so totally over the moon - this week with monthly imminent, when I wouldn't normally lose much I have lost 3.5 lbs! Absolutely made up - that's 20lbs now and I got Slimmer of the Week - YAY

 

[TracyGWill]

Brilliant, Sharon, that's an excellent result! You're really in the zone, aren't you?! xx

Really made up tonight Tracy menus planned for next week and shopping all done.

Had a lucky escape at Asda earlier, boot of hatchback up, leant into boot to get shopping bags - couple of women walking behind my car - one swore re bird having just s..t on her, came from under the cover of my boot lid too see that my boot/ hatchback lid was totally splattered as was the roof and driver side of my car, not so lucky for the other lady but soo lucky for me lol - a few minutes either way and I'd have been covered big time lol phew! Definitely a day with luck lol. Had to take car to car wash. Bet you're laughing lol x

 

[TracyGWill]

Haha, yes I am! It must really be your lucky day, lol. You're doing so well, it really motivates you to keep going, doesn't it?! xx

 

[Aquasharine]

Yup definitely and will be down into the next stone bracket soon enough - can't wait .

 

[Aquasharine]

Feeling really positive - popped out to little shopping village close to us and hubby and daughter bought yummy cakes and I abstained and had forest fruits, 0% Greek yoghurt with 1 tbsp honey for 2.5 syns. To be honest really enjoyed that and quite happy not to have cake . Really want to lose at least another 1lb next week to get my 1.5 stone award - here's hoping. Can definitely feel the difference in myself with the weight loss so far which gives a real feel good factor and is helping me stay focused - to be honest I'm really enjoying all the foods we can have and all the different recipes, having far more variety than we were before I started on the plans so the whole family is benefitting and enjoying the recipes.

Cooking sweet and sour beef from the All in One Extra Easy cookbook tonight which looks yum. Did the Malaysian chicken and red pepper curry last night from the Asian cookbook - one of our favourites.

Can recommend the Maggi cook in the bag pkt mixes. The one I did tonight was the Mexican one. Diced chicken breast, chopped yellow and red pepper and red onion. All put I'm the bag provided, add the spice mix, seal with tie, shake up and place in oven for 50 mins. Easy and really tasty meal for the family really yummy The Mexican pkt mix is 6 syns so four servings = 1.5 syns each.

Looks fab Aqua, I have used those Maggi bag thingys for a while, its an easy dinner to cook, usually get the paprika one, haven't tried the Mexican one yet. Lost one pound at WI, quite happy as wasn't going to loose loads after the 3 pounds last week plus the piece of chocolate cake at my Mams yesterday!!!

 

[Aquasharine]

Hey Geordie that's great, well done on your weight loss . Paprika one sounds nice, definitely going to do more Maggi bags as as you say v easy and quick.

 

[bikerbabe 44]
