I agree with Bubbly, Bryden. Forget the over indulgence and look forward to what you can now achieve. No point in 'if onlys' - they'll only hold you back and make you feel guilty and in my case they give me an excuse to give up *breaks into High School Musical .. "We're all in this togtherrrrrrr!"*
That chicken and rice sounds luuuurvely, Bubbly. Ive not tried quorn really. I once had the mince and I didnt like it. But everyone tells me I probably didnt cook it correctly
Helen I think Im gunna go for the online subscription rather than try to manage on my own. I have all of the books from last year - I spent loads only to give up - I expect they've been updated but they'll see me through along with the net
I'm very hyper this morning. Happy almost. Cheery. Not like me at all. I'm usually a misery until at least 1pm. I think its because today is my 3rd day to plan and I haven't strayed once. May not sound like much, but my house is full of chocolate and crisps still, the girls at work have been eating out for lunch and Ive stuck to plan. Im quite proud of myself
Girls, look how busy this board has been the last couple of days, compared to the last couple of weeks lol....amazing, what a new year does. But it is good to see you all back and I'm sure that we will have a great loss in 2008. I am determined....Sunday is my D-day...Mr. B. is sick and tired of the naughty food as well, so we will both stick to it together and get fit.
My insides definetely need it.....our poor cats must suffer terribly from all the strange smells coming from the both of us (if u know what i mean)...its horrible.
Going to make my food plan for the days after sunday tonight, and see how far I get.
Have had some snow the last couple of days, but nothing major....Just a bit of powder on the fields left.....
Im desperately looking for a nice slimming world curry recipe. Im searching google now.
Had barely anything to eat today. Been far to busy at work for a break. This is where the problems can start. But I went straight to the shop to get some stuff to make myself a feast
I made a lovely (if I may say so myself ) chicken curry yesterday (chicken HE) with sw chips. Was lurrrrsh I took some to work today but thats all Ive had to eat today so Im reallllllllllllly hungry.
I managed to get into HMV and buy Natalie Cassidys fitness dvd that Ive been promising myself since christmas. I did 30 mins, but the kids were in and out and in my way so I gave up until tomorrow. I enjoyed what I did though
Good Morning Ladies, well I am finally back on track. Did my weekly food plan yesterday, went shopping after and now I'm sitting here with my tons of fruit, my porridge to be made and my lunch in the waiting. I'm highly motivated, and can't wait for the boxing tonight.
Fea, check out my weight loss journal for recipes, got plenty of stuff there to check out.
Urgh, its the first full week at work for me, absolutely dreading it. But the good thing is that I got some sort of routine again, so thats a plus.
Morning Moonchild, I'll do just that, thanks Its being motivated and positive great? Im never quite organised enough to do a weekly food plan.
Im off work today but in tomorrow. I have some uni work to finish but for some reason I just cant (or wont) get started. It has to be handed in on Friday!
Kids went back to school today (Yaaaay )
Im feeling motivated but Im a bit scared to goto my mams because theres so many crisps, biscuits and large mugs of sweet tea on offer! Maybe I'll just call her...
I'm back at work today, I'm on plan and I have so far managed to avoid the post Christmas choccys. I had a yummy breakfast of boiled egg, a slice of weight watcher bread and a muller light. I've got chicken and pastrami sandwichs for my lunch with a cold boiled egg and an alpen light bar
Back to the gym tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it, I'm not looking forward to the exhaustion yet though or the aching.
Just finished my lunch (3sl WW bread, 3 boiled Eggs and VLF Helmans Mayo). Quiet full now. Felt a bit hungry just before lunch but got through it.
My next hurdle is the the hour when I'm alone in the house. It is soooo hard not to snack then. As soon as Mr. B is in, I'm fine, it's just that 1 hour that I'm in danger. But I'll try and keep myself busy with other things then. Going to have pasta for dinner tonight, not sure yet if I'll make a Carbonara or Arrabiata.
Helen, great to see you back, and all back on the wagon...wweeeehoooo!
Fea, I know how you feel, I'm dreading to go to my inlaws all the time, always sweets around....and if I don't go, Mr. B brings them back lol...
Moonchild - Carbonara is the one with cream and/or egg isn't it so perhaps the arrabiata would be better (unless like me you are SO fed up of pasta sauce with tomatoes in it!). I know what you mean about the strange smells -I had a bit of an upset tummy before Christmas and my mum had one on the day plus my niece had one the day after.
I am still 'off' food - as in eating it but not really enjoying it much - mind you I cannot see how anyone can enjoy cottage cheese!!!
I had to S-q-u-e-e-z-e into my trousers this morning - did a bit of a workout just getting into them! So I really must percevere this time!
It's also good to have you back Moonchild, I missed you before Christmas, and I'm so glad you got back on the wagon. Peacock, that tummy thing has been horrible I know of a few people who have suffered with it, it's such a shame you had it over Christmas. Thanks sodredge, I try my best.
I've eaten my lunch and am dealing with the post lunch slump. I'm busy drinking Oolong tea and trying to stay warm in the office. I don't remember if I told you guys before Christmas that I got turned down for the teacher training I'd applied for, I was really upset about it, but then the next day my Boss basically promoted me to assistant manager in the place that I work now. I'm feeling quite positive about the whole thing.
Right, I'm off to write my blog, feel free to check it out and comment, I tend to write all my junk there!
Crazy Helen - ahh - I was not actually ill - that was a polite way of saying I was a farting hippo! just a bit 'offensive' to be near if you see what I mean - mostly silent but violent - and sometimes not that silent!!!! I was a bit worried when going to the hairdressers but decided not to say anything - she had a bit of a cold so maybe she did not notice? I did not have the 'runs' but just went a bit more than normal.
Ah hehe! I'm always a farting hippo, I think it's a hereditary thing, my Mum is the same and my Nana was when she was alive. While we're on the subject does anyone know how to stop it lol?!
Dunno but i always laugh at the adverts abotu trapped wind! I wish I could trap it!!!!! Why does it wait until I am near people or holds back until people get in the lift!!!!
and in my case they give me an excuse to give up 
*breaks into High School Musical .. "We're all in this togtherrrrrrr!"* 
- I expect they've been updated but they'll see me through along with the net
