JanD's Maintenance Diary. Into the 2nd year :o)))

[JanD]

You don't have to top it this year though Bev - it was a special birthday - you've got 10years to think of a way to top it LOL!

Yesterday's food diary was incomplete. Before we went out I put a half shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker. I'm embarrassed and a l'il bit ashamed to say I sort of 'came to' at some point during the evening. I hadn't been asleep or anything I just suddenly realised I was sitting in the lounge with my apron on but I didn't remember eating. Apparently I served up the lamb - we ate the whole lot between us with nothing else (well there would have been a LOT of meat!) but I don't remember anything about it . Usually when i 'forget' things after a drink or three I remember when I'm reminded - not this time. I'm afraid the sunshine and the outdoors went to my head - not to mention the doubles bar

I didn't and don't like it and it won't be happening again!! No hangover though

I've paid the price for my nawtiness last week - a gain of 2.2lbs which means I'm up to 10st 13lbs. There is NO WAY I'm going over 11st so IRIS!!??!! We're definitely ON!!

Will post today's food later xx

OH! And I had an Alpen light bar before I went to bed, I think - or it may have been a cheese string x

 

[MiniB]

Perhaps edging up to that 11st is what you need to put you back on track.

I still think what you've done over the past year is excellent though, despite a little gain! You're all my inspirations over here!

 

[summergurl]

You can do it woman

Thats scary not remembering. I hate it too - im the same always remember when told but when ya don't its worrying aint it.

Glad no hangover hehe

So we all back on track?!!!
(except for the chocolate cake and glass of champers on thursday for me! :giggle

 

[JanD]

Yeah you're probably right Bev!

Most definitely Tan! ('cept for the l'il voddies - no wine though - too much sugar )

Monday 21st June

Breakie - 2 weetabix, blue&raspberries, splenda & skimmed milk

Lunch - (out, took Mum to Stapeley Water Gardens, it's her birthday) tuna salad & the skin off half a baked potato Mum left.

Tea - Turkey breast steak, baked & green beans & carrots.

No plans to have anything else tonight except for one or two voddies. Have to get to bed early coz up early to mind one of the grandsons. Hoping for a nice day as the beach is at the end of their road (Iris it's his birthday on 27th too! - but he's only 2 ) xx

 

[MiniB]

Looks like you're back on track Jan.

Hope you have a lovely day at the beach you lucky thing. Stuck in work all day but we've got to pay the bills and save up for those hols aint we?

 

[JanD]

Yep - had a really good day yesterday foodwise - just finished off a bit of left-over turkey before I went to bed. Of course would have been better without the voddies but without them I probably would have eaten more so swings & roundabouts.

Looks like I've got the day I hoped for. Just waiting for it to warm up a bit before strolling down to the beach xx

 

[MiniB]

How did your day at the beach go then Jan? I'm not jealous at all, really!!!

 

[summergurl]

Hope youve had a loverly day MrsD x

Everything in moderation

 

[JanD]

Ooooo no Tan .... I wouldn't/couldn't mix 'em like that.

Decided on a coupls V&Cs as I want to have a clear head tomorrow. Looking forward to a nice day with a friend, don't want to risk a headache or anything. x

 

[Scotsmist]

Looking good Jan!!!! Have a nice day with your friend!

 

[JanD]

Thanks Iris ... I'm sure I will xx

Just had a slice of corned beef xx

Edit - & had a tesco fruit & raisin bar thingy - still not a bad day though x

 

[Scotsmist]

Corned Beef! Gosh, dont remember the last time I ate that...has to be well over 10 years now!

Have you had a few V&Cs...must admit I could do with a big huge glass of something tonight..not like me, but had a really stressed day and had words with my friend tonight too :-( Not that alcohol is the answer!!! Glad all I have is beer and lager as I dont like either!!! hahaha

 

[JanD]

Oh dear - not nice when you have words with anybody - even when you're right - hope you're okay ....

Just looked at weather forecast and tho' it should be warm it may be showery tomorrow. Annoying when it's been soooo nice and I know my friend particularly wants to take in the sea views etc! Ah well - just have to put a couple of brollies in the backpack xx

 

[JanD]

PS - NO! Alcohol isn't the answer to anything ... most of the time it's the cause of the questions!!!!

 

[summergurl]

Yous are mistaken .... "alcohol is the answer but i can't remember the question"

 

[JanD]

LOL!

Have had a lovely day Hope you all have too

Thursday 24th June

Breakie - 2 wetabix, berries etc

Lunch - Chicken salad with a sachet of full fat mayo

Banana

Tea - (out)- New York chicken (chicken breast with bacon, hp grilling sauce & cheese) with a baked potato & some mayo - ate too much Intended to only eat half the potato but it was all gone before I got the resolve in place! Never mind - tomorrow is another day.

Still fancying the wine so I'm having some tonight x
