I think tea as I like it would be my worst miss - I don't take milk but I have real sugar, I love my tea! When I'm being good I restrict myself to one cup a day, usually before bed - bliss

Another overeat of a day but hey ho!!
Did lots of reading for my paper last week & over the weekend & I started to write it up in my lunch break today I'm making a start & feeling better about it now, although it's due next Friday!!
I went to be gym on Friday to get a 30 min weights/toning program set up. So I dashed to the gym after work today, I managed all the weights side but missed the abs. They have be using the power plate for the abs section & they were in use & in all honesty I couldn't be a****!

Ha loved this last bit!
Well done on going to the gym and doing something. Helps with the energy levels I think.
Well done on getting the assignment started too. Hard to look after the diet when you have so much other things on I'm sure. Best of luck for tomorrow xx

I know Laura - not the best start to my new gym routine!! But oh so true
Well....I've added it up & the calorie total is....2213, oops!
B: banana, yoghurt, toast, flora & jam
L: veg & rice noodle stirfry, graze snack, cheesecake
S: apple
D: slow cooker chilli con carne (yummy!!), rice & creme fraiche, 4 roses & flapjack
I blame the chef in work canteen, she practically force fed me cheesecake because I'd 'bequeathed' her a load of curd cheese I couldn't sell! Still it only cost 30p so that's not bad!! Plus I've still Christmas treats to eat
But I did go for a swim this morning....nearly didn't though as I turned my alarm off this morning & woke up 20 min later! Still managed to get from my bed into the pool in 25 mins (I was a little bleary eyed!)
My inner thighs were hurting too this morning From my weights session at the gym!! They've a machine you can do dead lifts with, so it must've been that. My inner thighs never seem to get a workout & are extremely wibbly, so anything that makes them hurt is a bonus!
I'm preparing for the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch, which is taking place next weekend, 25-26 Jan. If you've any outside space, start feeding your birds & then for 1 hour over that weekend bird watch & write down what you've seen. You then log it with the RSPB so they have an idea of what's out there. I made bird feed cakes, melted lard mixed with seed & nuts, then popped in the fridge to set - I'm sadly quite pleased with them, so have attached a pic!

Well my obsession with eating has not abated!!
B: cereal bar & yoghurt
L: rice noodles & veg stirfry, snack pack of cadbury fingers
S(!): ham sandwich, crips & curly wurly
D: black pudding & chorizo risotto
The risotto was last weeks that I'd frozen, so easy but hugely calorific!
Afternoon snack wise - I was at work at 6:30, I messed up quite spectacularly and lunch wasn't very substantial, so I needed some comfort food!
Surprisingly it's within calories (1800) at 1771! No exercise today, but I did write another 350 words on my assignment which for a work day ain't bad

If there is any more of that delicious sounding risotto I will happily take it off your hands... Black pudding and chorizo. And risotto. MMmmmmmmm. Not sure you can fit many more of my favourite things in a dish.
Well done on going for a swim when you had a good excuse not to. I think its about riding out those early "can't be arsed" moments and forming the habit of going. Someone told me a long time ago that with exercise you rarely seem to regret doing it but usually regret not doing it. I try to bear that in mind when my alarm goes off at 5am twice a week...

Habits habits habits...they're hard to crack & even harder to adopt, unless they're bad ones obviously!!
Risotto is one of my favourites & this one was great!
Thursday wasn't too bad, 2000 calories, mainly because I had a sandwich as an afternoon snack!! I also went for a 'run' - managed 22 minutes & today my body feels WRECKED...cycling was a real struggle. I didn't make it to the gym to do a weights session, mainly because I'm already in so much pain, so feel like I need the rest!
Uni yesterday & loads of assignment writing, I've written 2000 words so far this week
That's it I think - well & truly cream crackered

We've all got bad habits or we wouldn't be here, just human nature
Your doing great with the exercise but you obviously don't want to be in too much pain and pushing it or it might become and injury so glad your having a rest day!
Well done on the uni work!! Assignment wiring was my pet hate, have you got a target number of words to complete? Hope your having a more relaxing Saturday!

Well done on cracking on with the assignment. I find the thought of doing them is often far much than actually doing them.
Sounds like your body needed a bit of a rest after the running. Have you had a bit of a break from running? I find its one thing that my body doesn't retain the ability to do as well as other things - if I have a gap then I end up slipping back far more than in other forms of exercise.
Anything good planned for the weekend?

Still motoring on with the assignment...up to 2500 words now - so just reviewing/editing & my conclusions...needs to in on Friday so taking the day off today, so I don't become 'bamboozled'!
Food as bad as ever, tasty though & I made a cracking marble cake yesterday - from my Paul Hollywood book (Christmas present - signed & everything )
Last night was game night:
Trivial pursuit - boys v girls - we lost
Risk - I WON !!!!
Haven't played it since uni days & it was with uni friends who had the actual uni board, very nostalgic
I have had a break of running for about 4 months and my muscle memory is pretty poor too apparently. It was fine when I was doing it, just the next 2 days were tricky!! Back to normal today, although back is just achey!

That cake looks utterly yumtastic. If you are passing Nottingham any time soon please bring me a slice!
Board games sounds fun. We had friends over to play my new Firefly boardgame last week. Its a bit complicated but really fun. We have another set of friends who we often see for game nights, often cards, got sometimes play RISK as well. I won the first one we played because everything underestimated my menace as I hadn't played before and kept asking about the rules.... Mawahahahaha!

Ha - thanks Atomic & Laura it was quite tasty too!! I took it to a friends for 'puffing' so thought I'd 'jazz' it up a bit! If I'm ever passing Nottingham I'll make sure I've some cake on hand
At the start of risk I just thought, I've no chance, then I just got bolshy! My mission was 24 territories & I took 9 my the last go - ha, they didn't suspect a thing!!!
Ok day today, no blue Monday but a couple of difficult calls to friends this avo who are going through s***. Poor folks, make me realise how lucky I am & that I shouldn't complain about a uni assignment I started late! It certainly gives a little perspective...
Read through assignment today, so will try & re-write one tomorrow, all on track! Sorry to bore with essay writing!
Foods been good today. No exercise though other than my cycle. Hoping to swim & do a mini weights session before work....we shall see....swim for sure just don't know if I can squeeze it in!
B: 1 weetabix & milk
S: yoghurt
L: roasted bns, fennel & carrot soup, oatcakes & cereal bar
S: ham & a little leftover mash
D: chicken chilli men with noodles, lush! I have the wagamama cookbook but so glad they do jars of the stuff now, sooo much easier
S: small cadbury bar
Total: 1357 calories OR 29pp
I prefer the calorie count it seems lower!!!

The noodles sound good. Think I bought that sauce a few years ago and was pretty impressed actually. I struggle with getting the flavours quite right when it comes to Chinese-style food for some reason.
Is it this week the assignment has to be in? Or next? Sounds like you will get it done in plenty of time anyway.
