Thanks for the compliments, I really don't do much and I frequently mess up the list so I don't think I deserve them!

I will be doing the Bsc in Health Sciences, with a view to doing something health/medicine related eventually, but with my children being 2, 4 and 5 at the moment I won't be getting out of the home much in the next few years so may as well study!

Just back from the hairdressers and food shop - hair looks nice (won't stay that way in this weather).
Bought lots of good for you food and no naughties at all.:A

Today's food is...
Breakfast - Nature Valley Bar (195 cals)
Lunch - fake turkey rashers (100 cals), small tin of beans (198 cals)
Tea - WW patatas bravas and quorn thing (299 cals)

Total so far = 792 cals
Need to get some fruit in me and save some cals for a few drinks tonight.

reasonable on-track day today:

B: 2 Ryvita and a few Ritz crackers
L: Ham, cream cheese and onion wrap with generous side salad
chicken and apricot stew with rice
S: Grapes, melon, white chocolate, and 1x 24 calorie ice lolly
Exercise: 1hr zumba, 0.5km on treadmill (chuffed with my new running ability!) and 2x 10 min solution sessions, plus a 1mile walk.

I found a gym nearby offering month to month membership for £30. You have to pay £25 for a personal training session when you sign up, but if I sign up online, I can get £25 cashback, so think I'm going to go for it! I'll be running 10k in no time!!!

Hi

I've been missing for a couple of weeks, I've been having a really manic time and haven't been keeping up. My Mum has been in hospital and I've had my Dad staying with me. I will go back through the missed threads but not just now.

I weighed myself on Friday morning and I've put on 4lb so I have updated my signature but I need to loose 4 of my nice smiley faces! I've no chance of hitting my target in time now. But I can't do everything at once and other things had to take higher priority recently. I will get there, it'll just take a bit longer.

Morning Folks

Didn’t have time to post yesterday things have become really busy here and expect it to continue for the next week or so. Because I wasn’t organised yesterday food-wise it wasn’t very balanced and little in the way of fruit and veg consumed.

A bit more organised today but can’t see me getting time or having the energy to do any “shredding” but getting quite a bit of exercise lugging boxes and furniture around.

Meal plan for today
B – Bacon Sandwich
L – Flask of hm Soup, melon
D – Roast Pork ready to re-heat along with some roast pots from the freezer when I get home, broccoli and carrots also prepped for the steamer.

Morning all - feeling a bit worse for wear after a night out, I did drink vodka and diet coke though to minimise the damage done by booze calories. I'm usually a cider girl so that was a change for me, making lots of small changes will hopefully eventually make a big change.
Had to laugh at myself though - came home and had 2 rice cakes rather than the usual bag of chips or takeaway :rotfl: Not quite the same is it....

Today's food will be....
Breakfast - cereal bar (100 cals)
Bottle of fanta (not diet, needed sugar and hydration) 150 cals
Lunch - fake turkey rashers (100 cals), salad (25 cals), satsuma (25 cals), few strawberries (20 cals)
Tea - saag aloo (290 cals), toasted wholewheat pitta (145cals) as a pretend naan bread

Running total = 855, leaving plenty of wriggle room for some extras and a bit more fruit.

Exercise - walked the dog for 70 mins to pick up the car from the pub this morning, can't see me doing anything more vigourous than that today but I might get my second wind later.
Off to nurse the hangover....

I have just returned from a week in the Arctic on a ship where the main ingredient was cream. A nice creamy soup is excellent now and again, but it was with every meal, which included a cream/hollandaise sauce with the main course and a ricotta type dessert. Needless to say Disaster and I was 10lb heavier when I got home than when I left. A couple of pounds have fallen off since and I expect once I get back into routine the loss will continue but it's frustrating to have to go over the same ground twice, as it were. I became almost fatalistic about putting a lot back on, and ate bread, nutty muesli, three courses, etc. which I would never dream of doing at home. I have a special lunch one day this week which I wouldn't spoil by being different to everyone else, but then it is right back to a much more rigid regime. What surprised me is that it was a very active week with plenty of strenuous activity so heaven knows what I would have been like as a couch potato!

I will weigh in officially on Friday but not expecting any good news and will change my sig then.

Hope things get better for you soon :grouphug: Sometimes there are just things that are more important than putting on a couple of pounds
