Sunday

Lovely lie in until almost 11am because Bob was quietly watching the bike racing on TV.

Had breakfast-sausage sarnies and tea.
He's cooking something yummy for lunch now. Smells lush!

Haven't done a lot so far-just some washing and putting some clothes away. There's a slug in the bedroom somewhere and it's slimed some of my clothes that were on the floor (I know, I'm a slob!), so needed to wash them again & find out where the little bugger is hiding, so I can kill it. Ergh!

Made up a huge jug of chilled fruit tea to drink as it's a lovely hot sunny day again.
*******************************************************************************
Bob made a very nice lunch of stuffed chicken breast (stuffed with philly & cheese) and diced potato with olive oil. Small bowl of ice cream for dessert.

Wasn't that hungry at tea, so just had a bowl of Oatibix. Had a mug of tea with 2 biscuits in the evening.

Saturday

Didn't get chance to post at all yesterday, so having to try and remember what I ate.

Had a big breakfast of sausage & bacon sarnies, with a mug of tea.
Tiny lunch of a small bowl of ice cream.
Went out for something to eat in the early evening before we went to the theatre (Hot Mikado at Queens theatre). Used the Taste London card in Pizza Express & had dough balls (shared), a pizza (4 cheese-mine was smaller than Bob's one) and lemon tart with marscapone for dessert. Shared a beer with Bob to wash it down with.
Had some Maltesers at the theatre.

Did walk around town a bit, so I got a tiny bit of exercise.

No swimming today-but not my fault!

I had all my stuff ready, but Sue got to the entrance and there was loads of kids going through to the pool, so she decided she couldn't face it. As she's the one driving me home, I could hardly go on in anyway, even though I could really do with swimming off all that curry from yesterday. So we're gonna go on Monday instead.
Breakfast-Strawberry crisp cereal-need to buy more cereal!
Snack at cross stitch meet-Kit Kat (2 finger) and 3 biscuits. Coffee
Lunch (pub after cross stitch meet)-bacon, chicken & cheese panini with BBQ sauce. No chips! J2O (red) . I tried to order the soup, but they didn't have it.
Smoothie in the afternoon.
Tea-Slice of bread with garlic & herb philly. Chinese rib steak thingy. Oven chips. 4 crackers & cheese. Mug of tea.

Had to go to the dentist this afternoon, so my mouth feels all funny now. Yuck!

Wii Fit age is 20 today!!!!

No idea how it's suddenly dropped so low. I've lost a tiny bit of weight, but not a full lb. I did well in the tests-stillness and the walking one, so maybe that's why? But it was 31 or something yesterday, so that's a huge drop. Think I might have a smoothie for breakfast. Hopefully that'll give me some energy to do something!

Breakfast-smoothie with mango chunks, apple juice and orange juice
Lunch-Half a can of tomato soup, some bread to dunk.
Snack-Packet of crisps

*************************************************************************************

Bugger! Slipped up in a big way and ordered take out tonight. We have hardly any food and both of us were hungry, so we got a curry. I had a chicken pasanda, naan bread, coconut rice, chicken pakora (shared with Bob) and a poppadom. And a mint feast ice cream. Then some cola & a mug of tea.

I am gonna have to do a LOT of swimming tomorrow to work it all off. Only managed 15 minutes on the Wii fit today. Feel really guilty..... How is everything going with you, K? Haven't heard about how well behaved you're being? Have you slipped up at all?

Where's the sunshine gone?

It's been raining all day. I have loads of washing to dry, but there's no more space indoors. Not done a lot today yet. Just booking my train tickets for my next visit to Gloucester. Will be just before my birthday, so that'll be nice. Bob isn't coming with me though.

Wii Fit has decided I'm 2lbs lighter again, so the whole 'weighing in at the same time each day' thing must make a difference.

Breakfast-bowl of strawberry crisp cereal

Lunch-one plain bagel with garlic & herb philly (stinky breath now!). Packet of smokey bacon crisps. Mug of coffee.

Snack-6 crackers with cheese. Am really hungry this afternoon!
Tea-chicken burger in a roll, potoato wedges. Half a small easter egg and a mug of coffee.

Feel really fed up. Didn't do any wii fit exercises today. Just couldn't face it. Am fed up with wasting my time with people who couldn't give a shit about me. Hardly any of my so-called friends bother to keep in touch with me, and when I contact them they take days to reply. I wonder how many of them would bother to come to my funeral...

Think I might have a Baileys to drown my sorrows.

(I didn't have a Baileys in the end. Had a couple of small bits of bread from the loaf I've just made, and a glass of orange juice. Off to bed now...hope I get a great nights sleep & wake up much happier than I have been all week)

Tuesday 26 May 2009

Feels like a Monday still....

Breakfast-2 slices of wholegrain toast. Coffee.

Went swimming for an hour with Sue, then had lunch in the cafe. Had a chicken tikka panini.

Came back to mine to play on the wii. Had a couple of glasses of orange juice during our play. Not really counting it as exercise as some of the things I did were on a guest Mii, so not affecting my Piggybank anyway. Might do some more in a minute though. Need a coffee first! The swimming woke me up for a while, but I feel tired today. Had a bad nights sleep having nightmares about mice!!!!

Snack-muller corner & huge mug of coffee. Note to self-buy more while they're on offer! Better than snacking on crisps or chocolate.
***********************************************************************************
Have done 40 minutes on the wii fit. Quite liking step today. Think I did 2 normal and one step plus session. Says I've put on 2lbs since my last body test though, which is not good. But it did say that I should weigh in at the same time each day and it was 10:28 before-today was about 17:00, so that may make a difference. Will try weighing myself in the morning tomorrow.

Tea-3 pork & apple sausages, mash potato with mustard, gravy. 2 glasses of apple juice.
Mug of tea about 9:30pm.

Our wedding anniversary today!

So I'm allowed a little treat. Had bacon sarnies for breakfast-yum! 3 slices of wholegrain bread with 3 rashers of bacon, some ketchup and a big mug of tea. Also had a caramel choccie from the chocs I gave Bob as part of his anniversary pressie. Not sure what we're doing today. It's not as nice as it was yesterday, so probably won't go out anywhere.

(Afternoon update)
It brightened up a bit, so we did some work in the garden. Cutting branches off the tree with the electric trimmer (fun! Love power tools!) and bagging it up. Then Bob mowed the lawn...who knew our garden was so big! Didn't realise how much time had passed, so missed lunch. Had another choc and a mint feast to cool down. Not sure what to do for tea yet. It's almost 6pm, but I'm not feeling very hungry yet. I can smell someone's BBQ outside though and it smells yummy!

I'm going swimming tomorrow with Sue, so it'll be great to start that again. Haven't been in ages. We're also going on Friday, and hope to keep it up for at least a weekly thing, hopefully 2 times a week if we can.

Tea-pizza & garlic bread. Half a bottle of white wine. Boozy coffee. Bob made dessert, which was angel delight, sprinkled with chocolate and with a biscuit shoved in it! But it was in a heart shaped ramekin....bless!

Lazy Sunday

Bob is off to watch the football later, so I'm going to ride over to Alison's and see her & the kittens. It's a lovely day here today-the sun is shining and it's really warm outside.

Had a big mug of tea, a yogurt and 2 slices of toast for breakfast.

Lunch-2 white rolls, toasted and topped with half a can of spaghetti hoops and some cheese.

Drinks at Alisons-2 glasses of juice (orange & grapefruit?) and 2 coffees.

Tea-2 plain bagels with garlic & herb philly on. Small glass of coke.

Kittens are being little buggers at the moment. They're either asleep and looking cute & gorgeous, or fighting each other and biting each others ears/legs/tail etc...

Saturday 23 May 2009

Busy day

Went out to Epping today, so ended up having lunch in a pub. Not that keen on Epping, but did get a workout walking from the tube to the town centre-all uphill! Not fun. So I haven't done any Wii fit today. Feel really tired tonight and can't wait to get to bed soon. Definately need something to boost my energy levels. It's not like I was up early (10am, ish)

Breakfast-2 slices of toast & big mug of tea
Lunch-Goan chicken curry, rice, naan bread. No dessert-too full, plus wanted to get away from the bimbos who has sat next to us and were being very annoying. Bottle of pear cider and 1/3 bottle of fruit cider (was very hot today...)
Tea-leftover lasagne from yesterday with some oven chips. A small easter egg (didn't have one at easter & saw this one for 10p in superdrug!) shared with Bob, with a coffee.
Think I had another cup of tea at some point, and a glass of malibu and pineapple fruit tea (chilled, and it's not alcoholic!)

Anyway, I'm off to get some much needed sleep...zzzzz.....

2lbs lost!

Just weighed in on the Wii fit & it said I've lost 2lb in the 2 days since I last went on it! :-) My wii fit age has gone up though...from 29 to 31. Strange, but never mind. Haven't done anything else on it yet, but I'll try and do 30 minutes today.

Breakfast-muller corner yoghurt
Lunch-was a bit odd as I went out. Had a slice of bread & butter about 1pm. Then a starbucks strawberry & cream frappachino about 2:30. Was too busy wandering around the shops to have anything 'proper', so now (nearly 5pm), I'm quite hungry!
Tea-home made lasagne, small cheese roll. Mug of tea & a mint Feast ice cream
Late evening-coffee. Obviously didn't wake me up much. It's 9:30 and I'm desperate to go to bed!

Have done 13 minutes on the Wii Fit so far. Unlocked a new balance game, which involves sitting on the wii board and staying very still for 3 minutes. Apparently I'm a champion at this! ;-)

Thursday 21 May 2009

Wii Fit wouldn't let me play earlier. Secretly pleased.

For breakfast I had a yog & mug of coffee
Lunch: cheese sandwich with 2 slices of bread. Pack of crisps.
Smoothie made with mango chunks, apple juice, tropical juice & orange juice. Drank a large glass of this, and there was still some left over, so I'm freezing it for another day.
Snack-Huge mug of coffee and a slice of bread & butter (Bertolli spread) to wake me up after a nap! Ooops! Knew I wasn't feeling right today...

Tea-Bob cooked a casserole type thing with potatoes, lamb, cream (elmlea) and herbs. Yum! And I had a slice of bread & butter too.

Couple of mugs of tea during the evening also.

Don't know where this week has gone! I haven't seemed to have done much at all. I'm still unpacking the suitcase I took to Gloucester & I've been back a week. Have done all of the washing, but still haven't put away the odds & ends.

Urgh!

I feel rubbish today. Don't think I slept very well last night. I know I had weird dreams, but I don't remember what about. Woke up at 9:30am and my head is really fuzzy. The last thing I feel like doing is any Wii Fit, but I'll try it after a coffee & yoghurt. Maybe it'll blow the cobwebs away. I look awful, too. I have 2 really sore spots-one near my eye and another on my chin. Clearasil just isn't doing the job at the moment. Wish I could crawl back under my duvet and go back to sleep...

Wednesday 20 May 2009

Grrr!

Well, I *tried* to be good today, but Bob came home with some shopping and had bought some mint Feast ice creams, which he didn't even offer to me-just shoved one in my hand!

So for tea I had the ice cream, and half a meat feast pizza. No garlic bread though. Also finished off the tiny bit of bread we had left-but it WAS just the last small end piece.
Just about to have a mug of tea, which makes it 2 this evening. I think I should be drinking more. Water, fruit juice, that kind of thing...

Will make smoothies tomorrow. Haven't had one in ages.

Wii Fit!

It let me play today-Yippee!!!
I went on it first thing, before breakfast. I've done 18 minutes so far and I'm all sweaty now. Yuck! I've done one session of all of the following.
Hula Hoop
Basic Step
Super Hula Hoop
Rhythm Boxing
Ski Slalom
Ski Jump
Penguin Slide
Snowboard Slalom

Will try and so some more later on. Hope to do 30 minutes today, but not sure if eating a bowl of cereal will put me over the weight limit. I'm obviously hovering right near the top. This WILL change! :-)

Breakfast-bowl of cranberry wheats with semi skimmed milk
Lunch-2 slices of the bread I made yesterday toasted, topped with half a can of spaghetti hoops.
Coffee (always drink it with semi skimmed milk. Have cut down to one and a half sugars)
Snack-Muller corner yog

No Wii Fit today

Too fat for the Wii fit today. Instead of crying and drowning my sorrows in a bag of crisps (which I was very tempted to do!), I played 20 minutes of tennis on wii sports and a game of bowling. Now, I know that Wii tennis isn't exactly the same as playing a proper game, out in the fresh air, etc etc, but at the moment, there's no way in hell I'm doing any exercise in a public place. Too humiliating, thank you very much! I must just be a lb or 2 over the 150kg limit, so if I behave, then it should let me on in a few days. It's so embarrassing to say I'm too fat for the Wii fit. I hate being like this, I really do. I hate having to fly on planes because I need an extender belt. I hate all my clothes looking crap on me. I hate feeling like people are staring at me. I hate that when I wear a skirt, my inner thighs rub together and get really sore. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I want to be happy and healthy. I'm not saying I want to be a size 10, because I don't think that's realistic for me. But I need to lose a few stone, at least. That's it for today, before I get miserable... :-)

Snack (Bob late home and was feeling sick from hunger!)-6 cream crackers with Bertolli spread and a tiny bit of cheese-because it needed using up.

Tea-one chinese style ribsteak. Sweet & sour noodles (packet mix stuff). One slice of home made sun dried tomato and parmesan bread. Mug of tea. Glass of chilled pear & guava fruit tea.

The start...

So, my best friend and I are going to change our lives. We're going to lose weight, look fab and enjoy life!
I am going to keep a food diary on here to keep an eye on what I'm eating and hopefully it'll stop me snacking or eating too much rubbish. So today I ate a bowl of cranberry wheats with semi-skimmed milk for breakfast. I had a mug of tea & a mug of coffee at a friends house (but turned down the offer of chips for lunch!) and I've just eaten a muller corner as a very late lunch. Made up a glass of pear & guava fruit tea (chilled) to go with it.

I've not done any exercise today, as yet though. Went to a friends house earlier, but rode there on the motorbike. Played with the kittens, but I think they burnt off much more energy than I did!
I will try and do some time on the Wii fit later-if it will let me. I'm ashamed to say I'm right at the top of the weight limit, so sometimes it won't let me do anything on it. Hopefully that will change now and I'll be able to spend some time on it most days.

Anyway, enough with sitting in front of the computer! Off to put some washing in the machine...
