The Princess Diaries ♥ 2014 will be the year I earn my crown (ok, Target badge)!

Hey Stevie - it is good being back on plan isn't it? I feel better from having just one day back on plan - I do miss my evening snacks I had been having (crisp/choc/nibbles etc) but I know that I cant have them all the time!

We can do this hun - have a good week xxx

It sure does lovely!! I know what you mean - I feel tonnes better just after sticking to it for one day. It's daft really. No wonder I was so run-down and unwell when all I was eating was rubbish. No vitamins or goodness finding their way in!!

I'm having a hungry day today and as I'm still not feeling 100% I could have quite easily nipped down to the vending machine for crisps and choccie - which, like you, I have been eating plenty of! I am really proud of myself because I didn't do that. Instead I went and got my pasta salad out of the fridge and had a bit of that instead. Only a couple of mouthfuls, but it's really filled me up and put my cravings to sleep - looking forward to polishing the rest of it off at lunchtime.

We definitely can do this. We've done it before and we will do it again! Here's to a fantabulous week xxxx

yeah I just got my elevenses munchies - so am having grapes as I can pick at them. Its not the same as a huge bag of crisps though haha!

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Well, as I suspected today has changed to Green I am fancying pizza and chips for tea so I need to double up on my HEx's as I already had cheese at lunchtime.

Just about to have a nice bubble bath and then put my new PJ's on - I got the most gorgeous pair of Care Bears PJ's from Primark today and a new pair of cute fluffy slippers. My mam bought me a new duvet set the other day and has put that on my bed for me. Phwoar, I'll sleep like a baby tonight with fresh PJ's and new sheets!!

Anyway...bath, PJ's on, tea, bed! Have a lovely evening all x

They are indeedy!! Our Primark has just got them in. It's a bit rubbish and always seems to be behind the other stores. I love that they are leggings rather than baggy PJ bottoms, I have some others that I got a while ago which are the same style but Moomins! Gotta love new PJ's xxx

 

[LisaM1977]

I need some new pj's might have to venture towards primark at the weekend ..
Well done for a good day on plan x

Morning diary, Happy Friday!! Woop woop, finally

In respect of 'Wear it Pink' day, an awareness raising day for Breast Cancer Campaign, I've decided to make my diary extra pink today. Also at work sporting my pink skater dress with black leggings and pink converse boots. And of course my pink sparkly nails which have been kept throughout October to support the fact it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What a great cause!

In other news, had another great day on plan yesterday. However, today is where the danger zone begin - a weekend of stopping over at Warrens! We're off to the cinema tonight with our best friends but I've already put a plan in place to keep me from going off the rails. Last night I halved a bag of Metcalfes Skinny Topcorn (weighed it accurately and everything, get me!!), and put it into little sandwich bags. It works out as 3 Syns per bag - I'll take one to the cinema with me tonight, and the other is back in the cupboard for another day. You do get plenty for 3 Syns. It will stop me wanting to pinch Warren's Pic'n'Mix! Also making today another Green day so I can double up on my HEx's again. I'll take a HiFi bar along with me too. Might even buy myself a couple of bottles of diet coke before we go, so I don't need to even go to the counter at the cinema. That way I stay as far away from temptation as possible.

We're probably going to have a drink once we get home. I've got about 3/4 of a bottle of that new Blossom Hill Vie wine at Warrens. It's 18 Syns a bottle and I drink it with soda water, so that will do me just fine Will probably only have a glass or two but will count it as half a bottle, 9 Syns, just to be on the safe side. I don't want to underestimate my Syns, I need to stay in control this week.

It's going to be a busy day today!! I'm actually getting my nails redone after work tonight, before we go to the cinema. My appointment is at 4.30pm. I've had this set on for 4 weeks now, and although I love them, they are grown out now and I fancy a bit of a change. Still keeping with pink though - I am having a pink / orange glitter ombre thingy done. Reminds me a bit of a sunset. With lots of extra bling of course! Looking forward to having them done. You can't beat a fresh set of nails!

Don't think I have much else to report, so I'll leave it at that. This is how today is looking...

Ok, photo overload coming up!!


My current nails they day I had them done...


And how they look today, 4 weeks later. She really does a great job with them. They are grown out now but all of the diamonds are still in tact and there are no chips...


Oh and these are the nails I'm getting done today. V. Excited!!


Me being a pink hero and raising awareness in support of Breast Cancer Campaign...


My popcorn all measured out ready for the cinema tonight. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

 

[Skulldilocks]

A night out for 12 syns? Perfect! I do miss a cinema date but its just so expensive these days! Another yummy low syn popcorn is the Boots shapers ones. They do whitechoc and strawberry and toffee and chocolate, I think it was 4 syns a back. Last time I went to cinema one of those and a diet coke bottle kept me sorted, however watching the boyfriend devour a Ben & Jerry's ice cream sundae was torture!
Have a lovely weekend x

oh so jealous of the nails I wish I could have nails not allowed anything as a nurse. hope cinema is good and well done for syning everything

 

[Mandlegrot]

The graze popcorn punnets are massive only 5.5 syns too. I never go to the cinema (too expensive) but I do love to curl up at home with a film and some popcorn

you sound like you're back on plan again which is great - time to get yourself back to where you were in a positive headspace and knocking those pounds off!!

I worked part time in a bakers from 16yr old and due to health & safety I was never allowed to wear nail varnish, nevermind have great long claws like I do now. They went into administration and shut down about 18 months ago and ever since then I've treat myself every 4-5 weeks. I love having them done, I can't wait!

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Totally not fancying JP for lunch at all now!! Think I'll pop into Tesco and pick up one of their low Syn salads instead - providing they have a falafel and buttnernut squash one to fit in with my Green day!

 

[emma_88]

Wow your new nails are going to look fab!

Good for you for sticking to plan defo going to take up on your popcorn information. I LOVE going to the cinema but I also deprive myself of popcorn because I didn't know there was an alternative to high syn ones.

Thanks Stevie - Hope you have a great weekend x

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Ok, so no Green friendly salads at Tesco today. Really didn't fancy JP. Ended up with a Mug Shot and a couple of BabyBel's for my HExA. I honestly hate eating Mug Shots and processed stuff like that. I don't know why but I always feel guilty eating them, even though they are free. They can't be good for you. Oh well, it was either that or a high Syn sandwich, so I wasn't left with much choice. Once in a blue moon can't hurt!

Oh, and how good am I!? Just had Warren text to say he is popping to the big Tesco at home - he finishes work at 12.30pm on a Friday - do I want anything getting. I just asked for a bottle of soda water to have with my wine, and when he replied asking if I wanted any sweets getting for the cinema I said NO. Woop!! He's also getting fizzy pop in case we happen to have a hangover tomorrow, so I told him to make sure he picks up some diet stuff. He's a good egg And I'm feeling proud that I've resisted. Long may it last!

[Mandlegrot]

I would be super hungry if that's all I ate today!!! What you seeing tonight??

 

[Princess_Stevie]

I would be super hungry if that's all I ate today!!! What you seeing tonight??

It's funny, I would have been at one point too!! But my stomach has definitely shrunk, I can't eat half as much as what I used to eat. Quite often I'll only have two meals a day.

We're going to see Bad Grandpa, it's the new Jackass film

 

[Happy Holidays]

For me mugshots are almost crap food, just processed. I do have them occasionally but add onions, mushrooms & peas to them to make a meal.

Bad Grandpa is supposed to be a really good film.

Have a lovely weekend x

 

[lyricallylittle]

I have emergency Mugshots at work for those days when it's just too manic and I haven't sorted a proper lunch. They do the trick! I agree that I wouldn't want them as my staple daily lunch though.

Food sounds fab! I ate so much popcorn last Friday without having checked the syns, and was relieved to find that I'd 'only' had 12 syns. It's my absolute weakness! I can't buy any in because I'd scoff the lot.

Your weekend sounds great and like you're enjoying sticking to your well-made plans and allowances. Good stuff!
