Mini_mog's sw weight loss diary

[Mini_Mog]

Hi Mog, Well done again! What a triumph just to be included in the ceremony auditions.
I think you have done marvellously considering the scare about your eye... do hope that it has got sorted by now.

Take care ....

Thank you emmaline I was truly honoured to go to the district final today and meet so many inspirational members, it was a lovely morning.

My eye is still much the same, in low light my sight is definately affected & also in artificial light. My job involves me using microscopes and looking at tiny things so I hope I can adapt to it when I go back. I am still hoping that eventually the swelling of the optic nerve will resolve. I am due to have another hospital appointment in a few weeks time so we'll see what happens there.

bit of a naughty mog today....

decided today is green...

breakfast- 0% greek yogurt, 11g white choc options, nectarine, strawberries.

lunch- we went to pizza express for lunch, was lovely. i had:
starter- chilli bread with cheese- i think 15.5
main- romano pesto pizza- approx 40 (average romano syn value)
dessert- tiramisu-20 syns in book.
about 10 syns worth of nibbles from niamh's plate.....omfg!!! 85.5 syns

total so far is 87.5, doubt ill need dinner!

it was yummy though, and i enjoyed it all. back onto food optimising now, so it will be free food for rest of today, mainly superfree. i havent had any heb's but they can be cheese from lunch....

i did however save on syns by having water to drink.

Supper was a jacket with syn free bolognaise left over from the lasagne I made on Friday with a hea serving cheese.

Am watching pulp fiction before bed, one of my favourite films! I want a $5 milkshake from jack rabbit slim's

Wow! It's windy today! Tail end of hurricane katia apparantly.

Having day at home with my little girl. She is 2 next month & has learnt 3 big words in the last 2 days- nectarine, clementine & ladybird. She says them beautifully!

decided to change my target and go for another half stone after this next award. thought long and hard about it and decided this is what i want so changed my target on here and on sw site too. still hoping ill be at target for christmas and that ill have an occasion to wear a gorgeous dress to!

going on a night out drinking (shock! horror!) tomorrow night. very rare event since ive become a mummy, lol! but yes, im going out to play! ive decided im allowing myself one cocktail and then ill be on the diet coke and vodka and will probably limit that to around 3 or so. food will be syn free tomorrow (hopefully). going to a village gala with the little un so im going to have to use some willpower.

massive nsv today- no choc at husband's aunties, just my hifi. biggest was on way home husband and mil in law decided they wanted kfc so i took them in the car, took them to his parents house and went home and cooked my delish pasta bake. i didnt even want it! woohoo! if it was pizza id have been tempted but kfc, mcdonalds etc i dont find hard to resist. yuck. watching supersize me the other day reaffirmed my dislike for such things.

 

[Mini_Mog]

Another green. Saving my syns for tonight's drinks.

Breakfast- banana, strawberries, toffee apple ww yog, hifi (heb)

Lunch- banana, nectarine, hifi (heb). Rubbish I know but was at sister in law's and it was either that or sandwiches on White bread & wasn't prepared to waste syns!

Snack- ww strawberry tart yog, big bowl of strawberries & grapes. Definately got my superfree in today!

Dinner- lazy pasta bake again like yesterday made with wholemeal creamy tomato pasta n sauce & hea cheese. Think this is free but I will check. Will throw in peas, brocolli & sweetcorn. This is fab for when you are rushing!

After that I will swiftly be getting ready for body shop party & then quick freshen up and into town for cocktails (well 1 & then vodka & diet coke). Doesn't take much to get me drunk so won't be having many as I don't want to feel like death while looking after little un tomorrow. Probably will do a slight tipsy syns update tonight!!

Don't know whats up with me today, feel fed up & I dont really know why. Possibly because when we went to the gala we got soaked, my little girl was upset on way home and over tired & her grandma got soaked & ended up in pain. Bit stressful really. But I really need to buck my mood up! Going to do some homework now & hopefully I'll feel better when I've got a bit of that done & out of the way.

 

[Mini_Mog]

well, last night it was free cocktails, and i drank far too many, also champagne (proper champagne!), cider and shots. deary me! so i felt a bit yuck this morning but was fine after breakfast and a cuppa.

today is ee

breakfast- 2 weetabix (heb), banana, milk (hea)

lunch- baked potato & cottage cheese, 2 nectarines, lots of strawberries.

Dinner- season & shake sausage casserole (3.5 for casserole mix, 1.5 for 3 sausages= 5), baked potato (I omitted the potato for the packet mix and added extra red pepper & mushrooms! Superfree boost!)

Total=5.

 

[Emmaline]

What a shame getting all wet and everyone ending up in not too good a humor which is understandable.
Hope things are feeling a bit better now.
I always find that when I need to get on and tidy up and do some housework I feel so much better afterwards... must be a female thing! ...

Well done on your little one saying those big words. Quite a stepping stone.

It was a real shame, it would have been a lovely day had it not been for the rain. We've had very heavy showers again today with thunder & lightening.

She's really good at picking up words, she's like a little parrot! I'm really proud of her

 

[Emmaline]

Hope you feel the same way when she starts talking 19 to the dozen! Can fair make you go slightly in a tiswas! ...

oh she already does, but i find it easier in a way because she can tell me what she wants/whats wrong rather than me having to guess and her getting upset. she already loves to chat on the phone to grandma and grandad- i cant get a word in now!

Had absolutely hideous what I think was heartburn today. It was awful, couldn't concentrate at work, no antacids in my bag, just wanted to lie down! Ouch!

In other news I am very much looking forward to idiot abroad 2 tomorrow night! I loved the first series, I also really like the Ricky gervais show. They really work as a trio.

P.s changed to green!

 

[Mini_Mog]

Today is green again. Absolutely shattered, first week back at work full time has been exhausting. Plus my little girl is poorly. We were supposed to be going to a wedding reception tonight, can't take her like this & can't leave her.
