[JanD]

No prob with the swaping things around Tan - especially when you're going to be more satisfied, like something warm on days like this!

I'm dead jealous of your afternoon in bed. I'm having far too little time in mine at the moment and I'm not good when that happens but needs must and all that an dit IS nice to be needed

I start my nights tomorrow though - I'm going to be dead on my feet!

You're doing great Tan - and looks like you are as well Irish!! Keep up the good work xx

 

[summergurl]

Well Jan, i wasnt actually in bed just led on it watching me programmes - but still is lovely to just lay there!!! Im actually quite proud of myself today - usually when watching a tv series or something i like to sit down and eat whilst watching but today i just led there and didnt even think about food once Go Me right?!! :giggle:

I have decided though, im going to have some mushrooms done in fry light with my gammon and veg. Just got a huuuuge craving!

 

[ChellyWellyBoot]

Mushrooms = BOKE!

lol!!!!!!!


Sounds like your doing brilliant at getting back on track and atleast your substitutions are good ones

 

[summergurl]

Ah chelly i never used to like them untill i came of LT last time now they are yum!! x

 

[Scotsmist]

Eh Tanya, your meals today look really good......non of this skimping going on, which I assume is keeping you pretty full and not wanting to nibble at other things!

Well done!!!!

Glad you're feeling good Tan ...... I bet that tum has gone! You're really limiting those calories. I'm sure you'll have a nice surprise when you get weighed in the morning. xx

 

[Welshie]

Thought i'd make you feel better about your car with a little story... imagine the scene - christmas morning, you can't get up my hill in the car because of snow and ice so my partner who had worked nights abandoned it at the bottom. Someone knocks the door saying think you bet move your car there's a woman sliding down the hill and can't move so off i trudge, she's now a few inches from it so i move it down and walk back up.. just before we go out to lunch i think ah i know i'll try getting the car up... i'm walking down and see it and think.. i didn't park it there???????? in all the commotion i didn't put it in gear, it slid into someone else's back end on the ice. Luckily no damage to my car but his bumper was a little damaged, this then popped out but he insists the garage says he has to have a new bumper, anyway to cut a long story short (i'm trying) its gonna cost £385. I then had an mot and guess what.. 4 new tyres and brake pads - £220 so £505 in a week, i'm so angry with myself for not putting it in gear you wouldn't believe - bang goes my january savings AAAArrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh. Never mind i weigh less!!

 

[summergurl]

Thanks Jan. I feel good limiting my cals in the week and its just this weekend to get through. Im kinda leaning towards 4 strict days (tue-fri) and 3 not so strict. No bread and stuff on strict days but have it on non strict days - just to limit it - if that makes sense?! Ive already decided im going to have bread tomorrow with some soup for lunch and ive got nimble bread in so hopefully wont be so bloated after

And welshie - well ok, yours makes my cost sound small! Its such a bummer though! Do you always put your car in gear on a hill? I never do - always get told to though :S lol Besides, what would January be without everyone being skint and dipping into the savings hey?! :giggle:

 

[Welshie]

apparently you should put into reverse, i will from now on lol. i was obviously being thick!!

Weighed in this morning and not half as bad as i thought - i'm weighing at 12st on the wii (it weighs me 3lbs lighter than the chemist) so my gain is 11lbs .... i thought it'd be much nearer to 21lbs as i jumped on the scales at the start of the week. But hey .. not complaining! lol


Not half as bad as i thought. Im ok with that number - its less than a stone! :giggle:. I know its guna take me a few weeks to get that bad boy down but i shall do it.

Todays food then:

Anyone know exact calories for cooked brown rice?

The packet seems to say 75g as sold is 266cals - is that raw or cooked?

i found this online and my 266 for just 75g cooked rice seems like a heck of alot of calories for that small amount of rice

[grovergirl1]

Hello Summergirl,

Wanted to come up for air and answer your brown rice question - 266 cals for 75g would be raw. I use FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal which is a great resource if, like me, you like getting nerdy about these things!!!

I'm a fellow LT-er, back on TFR to shed the Christmas excesses, and I find your posts totally inspiring! Thank you!

Melanie

Hi Tanya

that is a better gain than you though..phew ;-)! pleased for ya and like you say, a few weeks of tightening your belt and you will get that gone in no time.

I like your concept of being good for part of the week and then not so strict the other part. We need to live at the end of the day!!!!

Well done though

 

[summergurl]

We do indeed iris. I just know i wouldnt stick to the strictness i have in the week on weekends so there is no point even trying!
