Change of plan. Done my 45min exercise but I'm not walking to go and do some retail therapy as its started snowing! Snow =cold and I don't do cold ha. Looks like it gonna be a late dinner too as I've not set off to Asda yet and the pulled pork takes a few hours in the oven oops. Note to self make sure I have ingredients in when I plan my menu!

TUESDAY
Got up late again today and feel absolutely knackered. Not being in work at the mo has completely thrown me out of any sort of routine! I need to start getting up early rather than mid morning! I did wake up about 7am due to the cat but went back to bed again when the boys went to school! I know. Why I'm tired though, I'm always wiped out the week before my monthly visit. Does this happen to anyone else? I need to keep myself motivated so I don't end up sat on my fat a**e this week. Still haven't done the food shop or planned any meals so the kids have a day off from my cooking tonight. The hubby made them all pudding chips and mushy peas and gravy while I had a prawn stir fry. Would have preferred what they had but I resisted.
Breakfast
2 x weetabix (HEB) milk (HEA)
Lunch
3x cracker read (3syns) wafer thin ham, 50g Philadelphia light (4syns), apple, hifi bar (3.5 syns)
Dinner
Prawn stir fry and egg fried rice,- mushroom, onions, red pepper, garlic, soy sauce, dried chilli flakes, prawns, brown rice, egg
Total syns 10.5

Not updated for a couple of days due to being off plan. Went out Saturday night and far to much alcohol. Needless to say I was paying for it yesterday. I've not eaten much today as I've got an upset stomach but its weigh in tonight.
So far breakfast has been 2 xwholemeal toast (HEB) lurpak (3syns)
Milk (HEA) in coffee. Not had my full allowance as I don't think it's agreeing with my upset tummy!
Doubt it I will have lunch but may snack on some fruit and try to have some chicken for dinner later.
Hopefully I'll make it to weigh in tonight but I doubt it

Well I've had a really bad couple of weeks and ended totally off plan. I've had quite a few issues to deal with at home so I've reached for the junk food. I'm feeling very down at the minute and completely stressed out. I went to weigh in tonight to try and motivate myself back to plan. I've gained 2lb which isn't bad considering the Chinese takeaway, KFC and chocolate and crisps I've had the last couple of weeks. Anyway I went shopping today and bought plenty of veg so hopefully I'll get back on track tomoz
