3 dress sizes to lose = Wedding Dress fits!!

[CheekyMinky]

Hi all

I'm usually a bit of a lurker on here every now and again and as you'll see from my join date (over a year ago!) that I've done diddly squat. Well, that's not true, I've actually put on 2 stone since then!! But I've also got engaged and bought my dream wedding dress. Problem is it's 3 sizes smaller than me! And because it was a sample, I've got to get into it - no arguments. The wedding is next November 2011 so I now I can do it!

I'm hoping to use this diary as a mix of food and thoughts. Knowing you guys may be reading it should (hopefully!) keep me on track

I've prepped breakfast and lunch for tomorrow so all that's left to say is... bring it on!!!

Tuesday nights are usually quite difficult as me and my mates meet up at each others house every week for Tuesday Night Club (TNC) We decided that nothing ever happens on a Tuesday so we thought we would mark the passing of a boring night with a bottle of wine and nibbles.
Tonight, I've agreed to drive so I can get away with one glass of wine (6.5) and then diet lemonade. Got to try and stay away from the doritos though!!

Hope you're all doing well!! :talk017:

 

[CheekyMinky]

Well, last night didn't go too badly. Got away with one glass of wine but couldn't resist the frazzles and doritos. Synned it all at about 20 -eek! Would rather over syn tho then under syn. Not too worried. Line drawn and today's a new day.
---------------------------------------------
Mr CheekyMinky thought it would be funny to grab my toes poking out of the duvet this morning with his freezing cold hands. Not a good move. This entailed me yanking my leg back really quickly which in turn wrenched my back again. Could only lie in a heap in bed balling my eyes out. Poor Mr CM had to leave and go to work so he's probably spent all day feeling rubbish. So he should Had to call in sick AGAIN (was off Monday too!). Managed to crawl out of bed 5 hours later but I can't sit down. I can lie or stand but not sit!

Anyhoo, enough of me woes - it'll all come out of the wash etc

Cheers hun. It's so rubbish isn't as there's just nothing that you can do when it happens to make it better. I know what you mean about the pain killers - my doc gave me diazepam once as it's an anti inflammatory too but that spaced me out too much and I refused to take them after the first one!

 

[CheekyMinky]

[CheekyMinky]

Well Mr CM kicked my butt this morning and we went to the gym. Haven't been for about a month so need to get going again. I'm fine when I get there but today I just didn't want to especially as I've had a bad back. Anyhoo, I did and took it slower so as not to do anything silly.

I've decided that as 20 calories is roughly worked out as 1 syn for non free stuff, I'm going to burn at least 300 cals each time I go to the gym to equate to a days 15 syns.
Now before anyone says that's not an accurate way to do it or that's not really how syns are really calculated, I am aware of that. I'm just using it, for me, as a phsychological tool to keep me going to burn at least 300 cals at the gym each session.

When I did WW, 70 cals was roughly 1 point so I used to do multiples of 70cals to calculate a workout so I'm just doing the same thing with SW. If you have read my 'sausage' thread you'll know I like to quantify things that I do.

So meal plan for today is Extra Easy (to be fair, it will always be Extra Easy )

Pre gym
Banana
2 x coffee (1 for milk)

Brunch
2 Eggs whisked with a little garlic pepper and then coated
3 x WW Thick bread (HEb +3) in the egg and fried in frilight for eggy bread nomnomnom
1 ES Cumberland sausage (0.5)
3 x trimmed bacon
Mushrooms, tomatoes and beans
1 x coffee (0.5 for milk)
I was famished!!

Dinner
EL Beef Meatballs cooked in
Jamaican jerk seasoning, coriander, tinned toms, passata, peppers, mushrooms, aubergine served with
Pasta with
28g cheddar grated on top (HEa)

Pud
Rest of SW sponge(3) maybe with muller vanilla choccy yoghurt

Total syns - 8

Have good y'all

 

[CheekyMinky]

It's Tuesday Night Club tonight so nibbles and vino

Hoping to stick to 2 glasses of red (13)
and the chopped veg.
More likely to be a whole bottle, ignore the veg and chow down on the crispies and cheesey nibbles.

Will report in tomorrow with damage report. Off now as girlies have just come through the door.

Have a good evening all

 

[CheekyMinky]

Whoops!

Well, TNC was the start of the derailment I think. Managed to stick to just one glass of wine but couldn’t stay away from the nibbles. That wasn’t tooooo bad but when I got home from work on Wednesday they were still calling out to me and I caved. And to top it off, I then finished OH chips from the chippy.
Thursday wasn’t too much better scoffing a mince pie, a dime bar and some home made marguerita ice cream with the mince pie.
Then finally Friday out drinking. Not the good gin and slimline – no, pints of lager!
Well, that was last week as Saturday is my WI day so am ‘drawing a line’ and back on it.
I know this is a marathon and not a sprint so am not disheartened as I know that I will do it and there will always be blips along the way.
Well. I’m off to WI and will post result and plan for today

Wish me luck! :break_diet:

oh me oh my

I havent posted for a while as things all went the way of the pear in December. The wedding has been postponed, changed my pill as that was giving me the dangerous migraines. Replacement turned me into a witch and plunged me into a black depressive hole and then my pops collapsed and had to have triple bypass. Happy days.
Anyhoo, pops had his op Monday and is ok and am starting to feel more on an even keel so I'm back on plan from today.
Off to plan weeks meals and do shopping. Will post menu later.
Have a good day all x

Good luck with getting back on plan, it feels good when you are motivated again xx
