Shoegirl1978 Diary

[shoegirl1978]

Thanks girls, I have a stash of herbal teas with me at work but sometimes you just cant beat a good old english cuppa

So glad it's nearly the weekend when I get to do a new food shop, looking to get inspired for meals for next week, getting a bit sick of chicken now.

Today's menu:

B - Usual Get up & go with strawberries
S - Apple + mixed nuts
L - Butternut squash soup
S - Nak'd bar
D - Tandoori chicken & small amount of rice (recipe pinched from Laurenista )

Will be going out for a 30 min run tonight, blow the cobwebs away.

BTW - My fuller for longer meal was amazing last night, but very filling, only managed half of it!

Your menu sounds yummy! I was talking to my OH last night about making tandoori chicken too, Laurenista got me craving it now

Morning all, thank crunchie it's Friday

Menu today goes something like this:

B - 1 1/2 slices of toasted rye bread with organic peanut butter
S - Apple + mixed nuts
L - Chicken soup with 1 slice of bread
S - Nak'd bar
D - Boyfriend is taking me out for dinner, I'm not sure where but I'll choose something suitable

I made the tandoori chicken last night that Laurenist recommended and wow! It was amazing, I can't wait to make that again. I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, wedding planning etc but I aim to stay on track and hope for another loss on Sunday.

Have a good one all x

Evening all, well today has been a complete write off I'm afraid to say. It's not that I've eaten a lot of nasties, it's that I've barely eaten at all! I left the house at 8am as the boyf and I had lots to do. We went to visit our wedding venue and was there quite a while, then we went to look at a new car (which we bought - yay!) and finally onto tesco to do the weekly shop. Guess I'm going to have to take today as one of those 80/20 days. I have weigh in tomorrow, couldn't have come at a worst time! Hey ho, it's a marathon not a sprint ?

So it went like this:

B - cup of decaf tea & mini nakd bar
S - hot chocolate (at wedding venue)
L - 1 cadburys choc finger!
S - 2 slices of ham
D - homemade Jamie Oliver lean burger with wholemeal roll and salad

So as you can see, food was terrible today! I promise to make it up to myself tomorrow!

I wouldn't worry about it busy days are definitely hard especially a day like this!!

I like your saying there it is a marathon and it's not about winning its about the loosing

Shoegirl your food wasn't that bad. I would say that you didn't eat enough, but it does happen. The occassional hot cocoa and cadbury finger isn't bad at all. Nothing is banned in low GL, it's about moderation.

You were still in the 80/20 limit . I think you'll do great on weighin day

I sympathise ....your'll see from my diary not such a good weekend, but i will be more prepared next time...and have learned some lessons ...onwards and downwards(in weight) ;-)

Afternoon ladies

Well today was weigh in day and I'm pleased to say that I lost 2lbs. I'm on track for my January target and I'm happy that yesterdays shenanigans didn't do too much damage. As promised (to myself) I've eaten a whole lot better today despite the boyfriend bringing me a bar of galaxy! I thanked him but said I would not enjoy eating it, so he practically inhaled it!

Today's menu is:
B - Bacon sandwich on rye bread
S - Nakd bar
L - 3 x oatcakes with laughing cow light and a slice of ham
D - Homemade thai green curry with lots of veg

I don't need an afternoon snack as I slept in and breakfast wasn't until 11am

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend. I'm off our for a run after the football.

 

[shoegirl1978]

Morning all, crikey it's cold out there this morning! Not looking forward to my run after work! Onto food, today goes something like this:

B - Get up and go with blueberries
S - Strawberries + nuts
L - Turkey and laughing cow light in a wholemeal roll
S - Nakd bar
D - Turkey salad

It's going to be tough drinking cold water today but I'll force it down

 

[CaliSweden]

Congratulations on the 2 lbs loss Shoegirl! You're doing great, also great job on passing up the galaxy bar!
