Hi Meli, I've been away for a bit, naughty naughty...

Missed you!!! Sometimes a break away is what we need. Welcome back and good luck on getting back on the wagon.

Started my new job today and really happy to be back in the workplace

 

[Meli]

1st day of work went well...in a team with 20 people and all different nationalities, so it's going to be interesting The lady next to me is doing a Masters in International Relations and Human Rights, so some good discussions are yet to be had.....

Not such a good day today, but tomorrow I promise to be better...didn't do very good planning. Only good thing is that I got to the gym


Breakfast- banana
Lunch- 1 slice of pizza, bagel (need for carbs- should have had the healthy ones)
Snack-slice of bday cake
Dinner- Crabsticks, Shapes yogurt
Snack- Green Lemon Tea

Crap day food wise and not on plan really.

Gym 1 hour

Hi Meli hun, looks like I missed that fact that you were starting your new job this week!!! Sounds like you're enjoying it and the people sound diverse and interesting!! I'm sure you'll make some great friends there!! What does the work involve by the way? I'm not surprised it's been tricky to plan properly with such a big change taking place and disrupting your routine!! I'm sure you'll adapt really quickly and work out what's best to eat, where and when to eat it!! Did you manage your 100% day today? Your plan looked great!X

I was told on the 1st day of training that I can't share info as to what job I am doing *security related*, but once I'm finished this project can let you know. I can understand why they want to keep it confidential with all the past Panorama and News of the World revelations on things.

Yes I managed the 100% day yesterday and actually got some time to go to the gym. Today has also been 100% so far, but wasn't able to go to the gym. If I still have energy by the time OH gets home, might try to go.

Red Day today-

Breakfast- banana and an apple
Lunch- Whole pack of Crabsticks *16 of them!!! Activia FF yogurt
Snack- Alpen Light (.5HEB)with Green Lemon Tea, MiniMilk (1.5syns)
Dinner- BNS soup, Egg, Quorn Sausages and Mushrooms, ketchup (1 syn?), 1 piece of Warburton WM Toast (.5HEB)
Snack- 42g All Bran (HEB) with skimmed milk (taking this at night really helps me go to the toilet in the am), pear

Water: 2.0 litres
Exercise: Maybe some gym tonight or another form of BM

Syns- saving them for the weekend...

[Meli]

It's amazing how we know our bodies....star week has arrived :cry:
No wonder was getting the munchies....
Today was not a good day food wise...biscuits, more samosas (was at a course and this is all they had, along with cakes, cupcakes and fruits) At least I resisted the cakes and cupcakes and went for fruit instead.
Not expecting much of a loss tomorrow night, but no matter what I will be back on plan tomorrow morning.

The family wedding is this weekend and we will be going towards London on Thursday night and back on Sunday (so have a challenging week ahead).

 

[Meli]

[funcurls]

Hey chick, I'm sure you'll have a good loss tonight!! Think of all the good days you've got in the bank! I have every confidence in you!! I've been a good girl this week, apart from a few naughties with a roast dinner yesterday in Tenby, but still WELL within syns for the week! However my monthly 'visitor' arrived yesterday and my tummy has that horrible bloated swollen feeling so this may (as it usually does) affect my loss tonight but we'll see!! Also feel bad as haven't had any encounters with 'Davina' lately!! I've been active in other ways in an 'on the go' kind of way, but feel naughty that I haven't done any proper cardiovascular, getting the heart rate soaring kind of stuff!! Good luck for tonight! XXXXXXX

 

[Meli]

Thanks Funcurls and hope you had a good WI tonight too!

WI Results: 1lb loss Have to say I'm happy with this as I haven't been 100% and it's * week.

Aim for this week: Going to try to be good all week until the wedding and save up my syns. Will also see if I can get to the gym at least 2 days this week. Hoping for an STS or a 1lb loss again??

 

[funcurls]

Hi Meli hun, well done on another great loss!! 1lb is fab! I GAINED 1.5lb!!! Disappointed as have been totally focused and on plan, but not surprised as *week came yesterday and this nearly always affects me!! Next week I'll know if it is down to that because when this has happened in the past it's nearly always been followed by a big loss! I wonder if it will still work the same way now that I'm nearing target?! Here's to a good week ahead for both of us!X

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Another great loss! You are such an inspiration, you have such a busy life with such a lot going on and yet you pull it out of the bag nearly every week. I'm not surprised funcurls had to find so many hats

 

[Mrscush]

Great loss Meli. Well done x

 

[10st10lbs]

Woohoo! Enjoy the wedding I'm off to Nando's again - lol xxx

 

[iaimtobethin]
