Sian's 2015 restart - time to shift the weight once and for all!

[upndown]

Blimey I'm flagging now. 4 hours sleep is just crazy really! Not that I've been sleeping brilliantly the last 3 weeks anyway.

I can't remember whether I actually posted that Mike and I have split up? It was my decision..my dad dying has really made me think a lot about my future. While I was never really interested in having children before I've come to the realisation that I do want children to be a part of my future, and for me Mike is too old to consider as a father to a child a few years down the line. He'd be nearer to 60, and after seeing how badly my younger brother has been affected by losing his dad at a relatively young age, I couldn't risk that happening in my life. I know it's irrational really as no-one knows how or when they are going to pass away, but I can't get the thought out of my head. At the end of the day, it was kinder to Mike for me to end things now than to carry on with the relationship

So much change in such a short time...my head is still in a spin xxx

Yes I think these life changing events to make us consider where our lives are going and confirm how short and precious life is - another loss for u to cope with but I think it's true when they say these things make us stronger - take carexx

Happy Easter to you all! I'm not feeling too bad...I didn't drink that much so I don't get why I have a hangover!

On a more exciting note, I've just booked tickets for my mum, my aunt and I to go and see West Side Story in Cardiff in August. My mum's never been to a musical so I thought it would be something for her to look forward to. She's not having a very good day today bless her xx

Great idea - a good show lifts the spirits!

Awww get yourself an early night hun. You didnt tell us about you and Mike but thats understandable youve had too much going on lately to even think about telling us.

Im sure he respects you for your decision hun and as Laura said it sure puts things into perspective when something happens. You have to put yourself first xxx

Thanks ladies. I guess I should probably be more upset over the breakup than I am, but it seems to pale into insignificance at the moment.

It's my first fast day tomorrow, eek! I've bought some of the slim pasta from Holland and Barrett to try, so fingers crossed it's edible! xx


The plan so far for tomorrow's fast:


Supper:

Slim pasta - 42 cal
100g grilled pepper Philli - 147 cal
200g mushrooms - 26 cal
100g courgette - 18 cal
15g parmesan - 66 cal
4 slices of ham - 85 calories

Snack:

Belvita breakfast biscuit filled with honey and yoghurt - 115 cal


Total: 499 cal

[jamjar15]

Good luck for tomorrow hun... I've looked at that pasta stuff in Holland and Barrett so many times but haven't actually bought any.. Let me know what you think xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

Will do hun! It'll probably be foul but I'm going to keep an open mind! xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

I'm starving!! In my rush to get out of the door this morning I forgot to take my yoghurt and apple with me...epic fail! I guess that means I have another 169 calories for this evening though xx

I can believe it, haha! If they're foul then I'll just have to grin and bear it for today then think of something different for Thursday xx

Hi Sian ,hope you've had a good day..how are you finding 5:2 ?

Hiya hun! It's been a busy day today, I went in to school to do some work this morning so at least it stopped me thinking about food.

Despite me being starving earlier I have to say that soon passed, and I managed to last until about 6.30 before eating. I don't think I'll lose anything this week though to be honest as I reckon I've gone a bit overboard on the non-fast days. The scales will soon tell on Friday morning! I think next week I need to try combining it with SW

As for whether it'll be a long term way of eating for me...the jury's out on that one! Xx

 

[Liverbird52]

Well you are a better woman than me ..I couldn't do it ...

 

[jamjar15]

Neither could I lol... I love my food far too much!

 

[dudette2001uk]

Oh, and as for the slim pasta...it wasn't too bad actually! It's quite rubbery to eat, much like I imagine squid would be, but it's not an offensive texture. As for taste, well it just takes on the taste of whatever you have with it.

I'd definitely have it again, but I wouldn't pay full price for it xx

 

[Texty_F]

Phew lol glad it was palatable hun. x

 

[jamjar15]

I saw it on offer in Holland and Barrett last week in the penny sale xx

Yeah that's where I got it It's not too bad for £1.25 I guess, although you could get loads of proper pasta for £1.25! Xx
