Yesterday’s food:
Breakfast – 2 x Alpen light (HEXb), skinny hazelnut latte (HEXa, 2 syns for the syrup, then I’m going to add another 3 syns just to be on the safe side). Was going to just have a normal coffee but my workmate came back in yesterday after her trip to Australia so we went and had a coffee and a catch up so thought I’d have a little treat!
Lunch – Tesco sweet chilli chicken (half a pack) – 0.5 syns, jacket potato and beans (free).
Dinner – Spaghetti Bolognese (free).
Snacks – few squares of Galaxy – 4 syns.
Total syns = 9.5
Well I’m feeling very happy today, yesterday I was at work and halfway through the day I realised I was wearing size 10 trousers! (I went to the loo and decided I’d check the label, as you do lol). So this morning out of curiousity I decided to dig out my navy chinos that I bought a couple of years ago. (They’re a size 10). Now back in January at the start of this diet I tried to put these on and couldn’t even get them up past my knees. Tried again this morning and they fit, I’m wearing them at work
so flippin chuffed that I’m back in a 10! And as of last Friday’s weigh in I had 8lb to go until goal so I’m feeling good
I meant to have a sneaky weigh this morning and I forgot (oops) so will just wait til proper weigh in tomorrow now. Hoping I will have made it to my next mini goal of ‘get to 10st’ and maybe if I’m really lucky, maybe even the next one of ‘getting into the 9s!’ We’ll see though. I did have a naughty weekend but then I’ve been really good all week but who knows, maybe my bad week last week will catch up with me. (Does anyone else ever find that? I find sometimes I have a bad week and still lose but then it seems to catch up with me the week after that? And vice versa sometimes you can have a good week but not lose but then you have a good loss the week after?).
Anyway we’ll see tomorrow, fingers crossed. I’ve been keeping syns low this week too so that’s good. I’ll probably end up losing weight through stressing so much soon, I’m getting myself in a right state about the wedding now it’s getting so close! 9 weeks today, we fly out 8 weeks on Saturday! I meant to send the kids passport forms off in Jan/Feb time but stupidly didn’t get round to it, so I sent them off yesterday but I’ve got myself in a right panic that they won’t come back in time. I even rang the passport office and the man on the phone was really nice and said not to worry, it’s usually about 3 weeks at the moment or 4 at the very most. But I was still panicking and was very tempted to just book a fast track appointment at the passport office – but that would have cost me an extra £60, they’re already costing £120 so not cheap! So I sent them off yesterday and now I’m just crossing everything until they come back.
I also sent off our CNIs on Monday together with our birth certificates, to the legalisation office (I’ve got to send them to my wedding planner in Greece but you have to get them ‘legalised’ first for some reason), I’ve had an email to say they are on their way back and will be delivered tomorrow so that’s one thing less to worry about. Then the stress will begin again when I’ve posted them to Greece and I’m waiting for them to arrive, eeek! As we won’t be able to get married if they don’t have them!
I’ve been on a roll this week with wedding stuff and ordered the flower girl dresses, my veil and shoes, however I had an email last night telling me my order had been cancelled and I’d been refunded because during their ‘quality control checks’ they found that the shoes weren’t suitable for dispatch. I replied this morning and asked what the problem actually was, because if it’s just marks then I don’t mind because I’m having them dyed anyway (I’ve bought ivory dyeable shoes, I want royal blue ones to match my colour theme). They replied this morning and it simply just said “When we opened the box, there were two left feet”. So that gave me a right giggle despite being a bit peed off that I couldn’t have the shoes! That was the last pair in a size 5 but I have reordered a size 4.5 and am hoping for the best! I’ve got my heart set on having blue shoes, I’ve trawled eBay etc and couldn’t find any that were right so dyeing them seems the only option so pleeease let them fit! I did see a pair of blue Irregular Choice shoes but I spent hours looking online and can’t find them anywhere in my size so have had to give up :-( I will add a pic of them soon, they are sooo nice!
Blimey I’ve waffled on for ages, well done if you’re still awake! Will leave it there and add today’s food later xx
