Sunday

Well today has been and gone, with lots on.  We had fish for tea and I overcooked it, which really pissed me off!!  I so enjoy decent fish, but I sure stuffed it by cooking it!!  Had a great night out last night, feel I made good choices, and happy with what I did eat and estatic about what I did not eat or be tempted by. 

We even managed a walk around a lake this morning, which was nice, but there was a triathlon on, so felt a bit self conscious with all the mega fit skinnys there, but also admiration for them getting off there arse and doing it, so well done ladies!!  (might be me and you next!)

I made a mean lunch today!!  English muffins toasted, with cooked courgette and mushroom on top, with tegel chicken bacon and a egg on top, was so yummy!!!  Tegel chicken bacon is the best standby to have in the fridge, must remember to put more on my shopping list.

Well new week tomorrow and weigh in day on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, wonder what difference I have made in 6 days instead of 7.  Also cutting down on the fruit I am eating, I think I am eating far too much and also I am back to drinking my water again, been a effort with my head cold, but I am finally there!

Have a great week, will try and get back in tomorrow but have a crazy crazy day!  It may be later on!!

No Excuses xxoo

PS  I did get on treadmill yesterday and managed to do my half hour with no puking!!! 

Saturday update

Well we made it to today, two days with 3 kids has been a challenge, we now have 2 very tired grumpy kids.

So tonight I am out with a lovely bunch of girls for tea, off to Coyotes at the Palms, been thru the menu and found the best choice for me, I decided I wanted to choose something good for me, but then paying for it and not cooking my meal, it had to be something bloody awesome too!!   This way I know I can go and cope and not feel guilty lately.  I have had 3 great weeks, made fab choices, been pleased with my losses, so why spoil it now.

Being tired last night I did look at the baking twice on the bench the kids and I did yesterday, but I did have a piece when it come out of the oven so I reminded myself that I knew what it tasted like, so no I did not need it!!!  This is something I say to myself often, you know what it tastes like, so do I really need to eat it? We went away last weekend to father in laws house and I brought belgium biscuits to have with a coffee, but as I keep reminding myself, I know what it tastes likes and it smells better than it tastes and also costs too many points.  If I really wanted one, I would have it, but I would save for it, like I have for tonight and make the bloody most of it, enjoy it and savour it. 

Well I had a bacon and egg roll with lettuce and tomato for late lunch, will have something filling to eat about 5 - 6pm (probably fruit) as we not eating till 8 which is late for me, but this way I cope and not get over hungy.  LOL. 

Have a fantastic day everyone, I am heading out to the treadmill again soon, once my lunch goes down to shake my wobbly bits...

Don't forget to leave a comment when you drop in! 

My takeaway

We get burgers on the odd occassion from a local shop, they are called gourmet chicken.  They have a bread bun, little bit of sauce, onion, lettuce and chicken breast!!  So I thought they would not be too bad.  So once I brought it, I came home and disected it to work out the points.    11 Propoints on our plan, so now I know, I can allow it properly, it is a couple more than I thought it would be, which was the bread, higher than I estimated.  Thanks to the friend who suggested to do this on my favourite and regular foods I eat out.  I have weighed my sushi and worked that out and also coffee from our local coffee culture.  Today is a day at home with the temptation of food all day with 3 preschoolers I have a friend having a baby, so have her wee girl as well.  So I have plenty of fruit on hand and will chop a plate up and put it out so the kids can pick on that, instead of asking me for food all day.  Means I can have a nibble with them.  Yesterday I made a huge dish up of chicken and veg, with sour cream and sweet chilli, which is in the fridge cooled and  now I will wrap into filo parcels, and freeze ready for meals.  I have worked out the points for the bulk amount and will weigh out portions and divide it so my meals are all set to go.  Yell if anyone wants some more info on what I have done. I have added some photos for you all of me on my journey.  If I am really game at some stage, will share some measurements with you.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

PS  I do have the odd aching muscle or two from yesterdays wobbling bits but my boobs have not fallen off as yet from being shaken to death yesterday!  I plan to get back onto the treadmill later today and give my body another shaking, will have to wait till hubby gets home though.

Exercise & wobbly bits

I promised honesty so you are going to get it.  As some of you know we have hired a tread mill, as hubby wants to up his fitness and of course I need to.   Well today is the first day of running and walking on it and I am stuffed.  30mins on it, and you run 30 seconds every 5 minutes and of course repeat this six times.  The whole aim is to run 30mins in 11 weeks.  

Well I have wobbly bits I did not know existed, but I did it, and without being motion sick too...... yes happened the first couple of times I used it.

I went to the warehouse today and brought a couple of t shirts and I had some shorts, so all go, no excuses remember!!

So that is my progress for today so far, I will be back in tonight, hope you are all enjoying your day!!
