Welcome to my world ...

[shysarah]

Thanks ladies,

I really must stop having SP's and like you say lil sis, focus on how I am feeling. Feeling so virtuous today after not eating all those lovely treats that where laid on for the auditor and the audit team (including me). Have to hold on to that today as well as there was plenty left over which normally ends up on our desks in the office.

Slept like a baby last night. Was so tired though and even though I am up, washed and dressed for work this morning I still feel like a zombie.

Anyway before bed last night I had my HexA in the form of 3 babybel lights (something my cat has taken a liking too so we have to share now), my curly wurly and hoops and crosses which is my total 15syns. Still sticking to 15 as of yet, with so much weight to loose I want to make the journey as easy as possible so a daily treat does just that.

Today I am taking 2 alpen lights and an apple instead of just one. I am so hungry this morning and hope having two will give me that sweet fix and motivation to avoid nibbles at work. Then I have my ham and crabstick salad with 1 syn of salad cream for lunch.

Oh and tomorrow will be one month in to sw with only one slip up and NO bread at all which is amazing as that was one of my big weaknesses.

Tomorrow is weigh in day, and like you say lil sis (Kt-Jane) it might be im toning up so luckily tomorrow is also my fortnightly measurements day.

Have a lovely day ladies n gents xx

Grrrrrr... whinge...moan...whine....curse....

What a day!!
cwhack:
Sooooo tired I did not need any stress. I walk in to find a problem with a computer based system we use which took me an hour to resolve, and then some one sent me a nasty email, including my boss moaning etc. I replied back, apologised despite it not being my fault (I dont care for office politics) and carried on. Then the Ice Queen (My Snr Boss) marches in the office demanding to know why the two of us who were in were sat at our desks and not in the factory ensuring it was spotless for the big owners visit. Now, I work in technical and not production we aid them in standards etc but is it so unreasonable to hope that production just once might take responsibility for the GMP of their own factory.

Anyway... this pushed my buttons further so to make sure I wasnt sat in the office, I grabbed my things and had a smoke break... haha :Na_Na_Na_Na:

Later on she just ignored us which was fine by me (my direct manager had the day off (hes a nice guy)kinda), so I dealt with things he needed to do as well as trying to do my job and the billion and one things Ice Queen kept asking of us. I dont know how they expect us to complete everything with the team we have it is simply not possible!
Well after 11 1/2 hours yesterday and being on a salary, I thought screw this. Told all my colleagues the manager had said I could leave early and shut down my computer and left at 2 instead of 4. Screw the lot of em !!

Stopped in at Asda to pick up some bits ( Wanted a steak for tea and they didn't have one which was not lost in fat- which really helped the mood) lol and some diesel and was home by 330.

My heads thumping which I know is down to lack of sleep. My mood means I am a total grumpy angry moo one minute and all soft and 'Gimme a cuddle' I think I am gonna cry the next.

Anyway Food...

B - Aplen light (HexB) and Apple
L - Salad + Salad Cream 1 syn
S - Taste Panel - 5 syns, and other Alpen light (HexB) - normally manage on one but needed that double chocolate fix this afternoon.

T - Who knows? I have some leftover quorn bolognese from in the week so will have a look and see if it is still edible..

Managed to have cottage cheese in my salad yesterday for work and got home to find it was 3 days out of date....!

Oh thats what I forgot in Asda too! Da*m - I am sure there is other things I will make a note of it and pop up to Sainsbugs this weekend probably to pick up those missing bits.

If you have read this much - well done!

Just found your diary.

Hope your evenings going better than your day, good luck with weigh in tomorrow

 

[kt_jane]

sounds like you have had a right day of it mate, least its the weekend now and you got couple days off, im bac there in the morning. I miss my side kick at my work but guess he is allowed a holiday.
good food choices again,text me in the morning will be up from 6.30 xxxxxxxxxx

 

[shysarah]

Thanks Ladies,

I will text you lil sis as soon as I have weighed in. I am hoping to manage a lie in tomorrow so not sure when it will be.

Had my tea, Noodles and Quorn bolognese, I was hungry and couldn't be bothered to wait until the pasta cooked so did noodles as they were quicker.. also topped it off with my HexA.

Got 9 syns left to enjoy.. Not sure what I fancy though. Might have an ice lolly - 1 syn and a curly wurly - 6 syns, while i sit back and enjoy QI and then disappear into the land of nod.

As today is Summer Solstice.. I wish you all joy, peace and love.

Namaste xx

 

[shysarah]

I got my stone!!!!

:bliss:

 

[shysarah]

Ok, now I have calmed down a bit heres my proper diary;
1.75lb lost this week (week 4) so thats 14.25lb lost in total, 7 inches off my measurements and 5% off my starting weight.
Not a bad start to the weekend at all!!

Not sure what I am going to get up to this weekend yet. My parents are away on holiday so I need to water their tomato plants and check the house each day but thats only a ten minute job. It feels strange as it is my first proper worked all week, weekend I have no revision or study to do for the open university.
Thought about going for a walk around a local car boot but it is wet and cold out there so that idea has been scuppered. Also rules out any gardening too.

The house is still in need of some sorting though. Things like going through my kitchen cupboards as I only have a couple and they are full and incredibly messy. I also need to go to Sainsbugs and get some cottage cheese, might look to see if they have any leanish sirloin steak in.. fancy steak and BNS chips for my tea tonight.

Found a local foodbank and am thinking maybe if they get back to me I could take some of my high calorie non sw food there. I dont like to throw it away when someone else could use it. Hope they get back to me.

Not really sure what this weekend is going to hold.. mmmm

What are BNS chips??

Im trying the 'doner' kebab tonight. For the first time ever I've planned a few days meals and trying to do some new reciepes.

 

[Siggy74]

Well done on going down another stone zone! It's great isn't it seeing those numbers drop. Have a great weekend x

 

[shysarah]

BNS Chips - Butternut squash chips. I peel it, slice it and flavour it with spices before roasting it in the oven for about 45 minutes - Love them!

Lucy - that course sounds interesting. The biggest challenge I found with OU was getting it to fit into my routine, once I did its been ok, Good luck x

Siggy thanks, and welcome to my world MrsRugBall...

In the end the house has stayed a mess, I went over to see my cousin and her girls, stopped and got some lunch on the way - chicken, salad, bread etc. Had a treat at lunch of some fresh tiger bread - did not syn it etc its my little treat for wi. Back on plan again now though.

Had a lovely day she did my tarot cards again which led to some very enlightening news. I asked about work as I am desperate to leave and persue a more holistic job using my reiki etc. All the cards told me that my work is burning me out, I am taking too much, doing excessive overtime and feel like I am lost in a never ending kind of 'rat race'. They also showed my spirit guides will support me when I make the move away from work and although I will need to be thrifty and progress will be slow to begin with to never doubt myself.

It is all about trust, belief in myself and getting out there and finding that opportunity. My cousins hairdresser has just set up her own business (again she sold her first) and has a venue where she will be doing pampering, hair, beauty etc, she asked my cousin to work from there doing her tattoo's but my cousin said no as her daughter is 4 and severly autistic she needs to be there for her as she has the mental age of a 18-24month old. Anyway I am going to meet her in a couple of weeks, have my eyebrows done and see if an opportunity may open there.

I have to keep making that effort.

Came home and had a nap. Was drained from this week so I listened to my body, did some self healing and slept for a couple of hours.

Had a good day. Was nice to meet my cousin again and we are so close she is also my best friend. I tell her everything and she does me. Her girls are both my goddaughters, Chloe is 11 and so very bright she has passed her 11+ and moves to secondary school this year. I am so proud of her. She is growing up too so my cuz and I have to take her on that special shopping trip this summer holiday and get her measured for her first bra. She is so embarrassed by it but as I said to my cousin we can make it special take just her and have lunch out somewhere nice. Her other girl Charley is severe on the autism spectrum and bless her the fight to get her diagnosed has been long and hard. She is happy in herself though and is starting to trust me now as she will let me hug her and brings me her special toys to show me. I always make time to interact with her in her world. Its so sad though she will have so many battles to face. When she hugs me now I turn on my reiki and she always says ooo warm. I am sure my reiki helps her feel safe with me.

Oooh this is a long one, sorry.

Oh got a new lunch box from Avon, my cousin does it so I got it in her 'new to buy and show your customers' book. Will post piccies shortly it is just AMAZING!!

Off to go get those BNS chips in the oven xx

 

[shysarah]

Is this not the cutest lunch box in the whole world!!

 

[shysarah]

Well, since my last post I have been a very busy little slimmer.

Tidied out my kitchen cupboards and have two bags filled to the brim for either a food bank if they get back to me or erm.. I dunno. Decided it is pointless wasting the little storage space I do have with things which are high in syns or I am not going to eat.

Took my bin bags out and the bloody thing split and fell all over the floor, so have just been picking up peelings, bits of rubbish and some furry who knows whats off the kitchen floor. Put two liners in it now and when I have them used up I am never ever ever buying Morrisons swing bin liners again!!

Had lovely tea of steak (all fat cut off - and consequently picked up off the kitchen floor) and BNS chips. Sat down with a coffee now. Still LOTS to do in the house like washing, bathroom, bedroom linen change etc etc but I have all day tomorrow and I have had enough for today.

Oooo sat here with some new age music playing which is all bird song and gentle harmonies.. feels so peaceful.

Sending postive sw and reiki vibes to you all

Namaste xx

Thanks lil sis x

 

[shysarah]

WOW...

So I was sat here about an hour ago feeling quite weepy and fed up if I am honest :cry:. I am sick of my job and really feel a strong need to move into reiki treatments. So on a total whim I put a post on my fb profile saying.. £20 an hour reiki treatment sessions etc, also put I am not certified level 2 yet but still in training dont want anyone getting the wrong idea.

BANG

A friend I used to work with texts me and tells me she wants a treatment next weekend. Also gave me her friends name who has been after a reiki practitioner for a while too and she wants to book with me. Then a friend I went to primary school with sends me a pm and wants a treatment next weekend too.

Thats three people. In literally half an hour!

I am amazed and excited all at once :bliss:
