Cheekychinchilla's food and stuff

Oh no, I wouldn't want everyone in the world to have to use eye bleach.... me in a bikini ;) Not one bloody well arrived tho so I had to wear my old size 20 one! Luckily Mum had shortened the straps for me ages ago so it couldn't fall down :rolleyes:
But you're absolutely right. I still cannot quite believe that I am picking up size 14's in shops and stuff. SO weird! :eek:
 
Re-Start Week 1!

Right, this is it! Day 1 of re-start week 1. I WILL be 100% till my birthday next week. Having a friend night out on the Friday and then prob a meal with the Mothership on the Sat or Sun. But straight back on on Monday and hopefully stay on plan as much of possible till Easter. Well, that's the plan!

I got my bridesmaid dress on Saturday! It's this one: Chocolate brown corsage halter dress - Bridesmaid dresses - Dresses - Women -

Went for the size 14 in the end. The side zip does up about half way and it's a little snug over my tummy. But it's an incredibly flattering dress! I desperately wanted to get the 12, but I don't want to risk not being able to get in to it.
My hopes for target size is a 12, but I I think my top size will always be one bigger than my bottoms size. Silly boobs lol! I haven't really lost weight off my chest and my bra cup size hasn't changed at all (which is good ;) ) So even if the tummy bit is a bit loose on the dress I don't think it will look too bad because of the cut. And we can always have them taken in if we need to.
I have mine at home to keep an eye on how I fit in to it. So will try it on every so often and see how I'm doing. Eeeeep!

Anyway, food....

Lunch: 2 Morrison's veggie burgers (1), bbq beans, potato waffle (2.5), wholemeal toast (HexB1), low fat cheese (half HexA1), and tomato sauce (1)

Tea: Innocent Moussaka veg pot (2.5), around half a pack of Ainsley Harriot roasted veg cous cous (1), salad, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, feta (HexA2), and fat free dressing (0.5)

Snack: Fresh lychees. Shape Zero. Fibre Plus (HexB2)

Drinks: Coffee (milk rest of HexA1) Diet lemonade. Coke Zero. Options hot chocolate (2)

Syns used: 10.5
Syns left: 4.5

Exercise: Probably around an hour-hour and a half of walking.

Thanks dude! Yeah it will be brilliant to see me fit in to that dress comfortably :D Will need a bit of room around the tummy and waist anyway so I can sit down :p

Spa was so much fun. Jacuzzi's are awesome!! The massage hurt quite a bit, but it bloody worked! I can now look over both shoulders-something I haven't been able to do in years coz of my messed up muscles. I know it sounds silly, but that's quite a big thing for me :eek: My skin and muscles around the base of my neck is still a bit tender, but I can live with that. May have to treat myself every so often to another one ;)

You'll have lost anything gained over Christmas by the time you weigh in as this rate!
Sounds like the new job is busy busy busy. Always better than twiddling your thumbs and you must be learning lots :)
 
Thanks guys!! And hello MrsWilsonroft :D
It's weird coz I will very rarely snack when I'm at home. I think part of it is to keep me going at work and to also stop me eating all the sweets/biscuits/cakes that are ALWAYS in the staff room :p
I sometimes think I eat too much on work days. But it really is mostly free and superfree so it shouldn't be doing any damage. Hopefully...

Being busy is MUCH better than doing 'busy work' or having bugger all to do. It is manic at the moment though because of the holidays being over as well as all the huge changes we've had to rota's, opening times, consultations, etc.... Hopefully it'll calm down. I feel like I'm struggling at the moment, but listening to everyone else they are too. I just wanna be awesome at my job already :p

Only 2 (very long) days left to go, then I'm off for a whole week :D Working 9:30-8 Sat & Sun tho :faint2:

It's made with eggs, very low fat cottage cheese, peppers, leek, tomatoes, sweetcorn, courgette, broccoli, and Quorn ham. It has 2 Hex's worth of feta in and 6 syns worth of low fat cheese on top.
Also made a rubbishy potato salad with tinned new potatoes, extra light mayo, salt, and pepper.
