eee look another food diary!

Me too! I do what I think is a big shop and I'm there again a few days later!

At least I have enough meat/fish to make meals for another few weeks just need to buy some more fresh stuff next week. Yay to cheap shops!

Well I've been writing since 9am and just handed in my penultimate essay... Nearly there and some nice light is shining in my direction! I'm pretty happy with that essay too I think. I get so worried as you don't get any back until they're all handed in so if you're getting something massively wrong with your technique it's too late to change anything. Scary as this is the first graded year. Massive fingers crossed I'll do ok, am really hoping for mid 60's, I want to have improved on last year where my average was 60. Looking at my last year essays they're def better but they expect more so we'll see. Going to work on the last one tonight and go to the library for the rest of the week.

Food wise haven't really had time to eat, really hungry now! Daniel made me breakfast tho bless him.

Red day - Tuesday

Breakfast : salmon and poached eggs on toast (hexB) butter (1.5syns)

Really late lunch : ham salad (mixed leaves, cucumber, celery, cherry tomato, beetroot, red onion) light salad cream (1.5syns)

Dinner : lamb shank with roast new potatoes (hexB) broccoli, cabbage and carrot

Exciting news on the holiday Charl!

I can't wait to get a holiday sorted for next year been so long since had a sunny holiday. Last year was broken and off work for most of it then bought a house. This year its one of best mates wedding so need money for all sorts of bits for that. Next year I WILL have a holiday :p xxx
 
Yay! I can't wait Laura, the boys first trip abroad and on a plane, it's going to be a lovely way to end their summer break. :)

Ok settling down to start this report. I think I understand the structure now, I just need to work out my content and what to actually write about. Eek!

I obviously didn't do anything last night (apart from research how to actually write reports!) so have have a lot of work to do in the next 2 days, well day and a half!

Had a bit of a fight with dan as I'm stressed and need more support and he's not really getting it without me literally getting to breaking point. What is it about guys where they don't seem to get the message until you're a teary mess! Or maybe not all guys but certainly the ones I know! It's ok now and he's gonna get them from school and take them tomorrow so I can just work without needing to leave and sort everyone out every 2 minutes. Phew!

Scales are looking much better down to 13st7 which is much better than seeing 14st1 on them on Sunday night :( hopefully after another red day they'll go down a bit more for WI tomorrow.

Anyway.. Food for today..

Red day - Thursday

Breakfast : x lean bacon & poached eggs on hexB toast

Study snack : strawberries, melon and a kiwi plus a cake bar thing (8syns)

Dinner : SW cheeseburger (hexA) with hexB wedges, SW coleslaw and salad. Beetroot and gherkins. x light mayo (1syn)

Drinks : water, tea and coffee (hexA)

Exercise : 45 min walk, plus 40 crunches and 20 reverse crunches. (might repeat that again tonight)

TOTAL SYNS : 9

To be fair, its probably my fault as I'm so snappy and stressed, and haven't actually slept a lot in the last month, but he has a really quick temper too to when one of us goes it escalates into a blow out quite fast. Although we usually resolve it fast too, like I've made my point and now he's come around and realised he isn't doing what I need and said what can I do, he won't admit I'm right but he's doing what I need which is the main thing.

Are things sorted out for you guys now Jen? Things ok? xx
 
Iv been so stressed with my uni work these past few weeks as well charl so its not just you! Im normally a laid back person, nothing stresses me and i always think, dont panic it will gt done. But recently iv just had so so so much work iv been getting migraines, not sleeping, crying all the time, just cant wait for it to be over! Had my last night out with the uni girls last night because we have broken up for summer now so that was nice, my last piece of work is in for tuesday so the end is near! Just think in a few more days we will be free for the next 4 months haha!
 
I know! It's going to feel amazing at 4pm tomorrow when this has been handed in! I have been sat at my table for 4 and a half hours now and haven't really managed anything productive towards my report. I THINK I've found my report objective.. 'The impact of practitioner involvement in free play time' I think based on what I observed I can discuss that pretty well in a report.

I have so much to do and now the boys are home it's not really happening :(
 
IM FINISHED IM FINISHED! Yay! Just got home from the assignments office so so happy 2nd year is done and these modules, I haven't enjoyed many of them that much at all. Lost focus totally so really happy to now have the summer to enjoy being around the boys without being a stroppy stressed mammy!

Also had WI today and I was 6lbs down :) it's all carb bloat and water retention coming off from Amsterdam weekend and a bad weekend last weekend too but I feel much slimmer in myself from it which is nice. Going to have a day off tomorrow to celebrate then back on plan Sunday.
