Fresh Start On Monday

Had another pretty cruddy food day.

main meals are ok its the snacking it has to stop!


I've just watched Fantastic Mr Fox - I <3 it!I wanted to see it at the Cinema but didn't get round it.

It reminded me of (same writter / director so not surprising) a stop motion Royal Tennembauns.

There were some cracking lines and GC is exactly how i imagined the FMF to be! Some people have critisied it for its lack of definate location and its mix of animals some not found in the UK or US but my god people its a film - to me films (unless a true story) shouldn't have to be set in a real place. its in Roal Dhal / Wes Andersons mind. who cares if one species is only found in Brazil my god these foxes had TV , Walkmans, Newspapers you don;t see these film buffs mentioning these as film makers diliberate mistakes! (sorry been reading the goofs on IMDB) peopleput on some petty things on there.

I once got some mad at some geek i emailed in to point out they'd misheard what was said (this wasn't on a major film it was Connie and Carla of all things but they'd pissed me right off!) Sorry i digress back to FMF.

The image below is the same as on my copy of the book. it was my fave Roal Dhal book, i loved all the ones i read but FMF out weighs them all in my opinion!

Sorry to blog about non weight topics but i feel i need to get back to blogging and have nothing good diet wise to report!

Time for an update

July has whizzed by in a blurr of not being a good slimming world girl.

i have prob had over a million syns and not really enjoyed any of them! (well some of them!)

ever since the come dine with Nat I've been off it!

my friends haven't been going to SW and I'm not relying on them to turn up as i go to group with la mama but i do feel that they are a reflection on me. and i know this diet isn't for everyone but one min they are enthusiastic next min i feel like they are taking the piss!


on the plus side i've lost 1.5lbs this month, but still not back at my lowest! 3.5lbs off it and that elusive 50lbs!

August goals

Lost 3.5lbs!
Find some motivation

Had my 1st driving lesson for 8/9 years yesterday - me no likey! (but it has to be done!)

 

Is my my driving school - pretty cheap prices and he seems nice - much nicer than my 2 old instructors. i did starting and stopping (i hate living in a hilly area hills suck!) changing gear, tomorrow is my 2nd lesson and i just hope it doesn't rain! i'm mastering turning left and turning right tomorrow! OMG i is scared (i need a LOL cat just for me!)

This is the type of car i'm learning in! its quite a nice car. just need to crack on with it. after tomorrow not got another lesson for nearly 3 weeks as he's going on holiday but will give me plenty of time to crack on with the theory test. on the plus side i did better in my 1st practice one than my mum who's been driving 30 years - have a go yourself here. The pass mark is 43. just need to do some hazard perception practice- got a DVD for that but so far i can't seem to crack it!

need to get back on track diet wise. just can't seem to get full. bad times!

might ask for will power this week!

i need to regain control!

i'm planning on going to see eclipes on saturday and that will be lunch out with my friend and her neice. i've started to re-read the book becaue i have been confused by the ckips i've seen. but its been ages since i last read it and i'm mixing up 3 of the books. not doing too bad i'm 236 pages in and only been reading for 30 mins at a time since sunday (not bad going) its funny i remeber the main bit like the end and how the books starts and some of the main charactures but i'd forgot wee get some of the cullens back stories and the 3rd wife tale. hope wee manager to get to see it. we're not prebooking as we have cineworld cards and are not prepared to pay twice. we did that for new moon and they put 2 showings on and our screen was half empty. Watch it back fire on us this time!

Is slightly in love with PuSS In Boots!

I love him and i know he's a cartoon cat but OMG!!!!

I had a mother daughter day today. Started off by a spot of shopping (normal behaviour!) then i treated la mama to a trip to the cinema to see Shrek forever after! it was Trés Good! i want to see it again! i'm not even bothered about missing out on a midnight showing of Eclipes because i saw Shrek in 3D!!!!

Food wise well not the best but it was a treat day.

Breakfast - Scrambled egg on a brown roll. ¼ HxA, HxB and 3 syns.
Rest of the day - Nandos. Half chicken  with Mango and Lime coating, half a large portion of chips, half a regular portion of spicy rice (FREE!) half portion of coleslaw. 3 Coke Zeros, white coffee and Shhh a Naughty Nata (custard tart to you and me!)

and i've had a glass of red wine (about half an inch) with sprite zero to make a sort of sangria

Not sure on how many syns i've had but hey ho at least i've not eaten anything else, no sweets or popcorn at the cinema, no cake or hot dogs at Ikea (cos we went there after Nandos!

i spent £43! ouch but i'm happy with my purcheses! i got a pink standard lamp - its like the one below but baby pink and it was £19.99 in the sale the red and nickle colours were still full price. i've had to leave off the arm part at the back on the lamp but once my room is sorted  i'll put it on.

i also got 2 wooden storage boxes one like the one below and the other with drawns the siz of CDs and they fit on my TV table that i use as a bed side table one on the shelf where the DVD player should live the other on top with my CD player and fan on (and some other crap!)

IKEA is ace! i really need a new bed off to browse the website. hope every one has a good weekend

July will be a good month!

i have decided

i will lose 5lbs minimum.
i will track
i will stick to syns as much as possible

i spent £49.50 on a count down (12 slimming world classes for the price of 10!) so i did save almost £10.00 but paying all that out in one go to blow it and gain weight. i'm not going to do it! yes i gained last week but that was june! i have 10 wi's left (until 6th Sept) i will make each one count.

Food today hasn't been brillient but still within syns

Cadbury light choc mousse 3.5syns
strawberries in sugar free jelly ½syn
cherries
5 x small plums
Plain jacket potato, lettuce, tomomato, ham and turkey
apple
Mash Pizza - see picture. didn't turn out as i expected but i couldn't find the recipe so i made it up!

Instant mash flattened and baked. then topped with passata, cheese, fresh tomato, ham, onion and then put back into the oven. the mash was still very mashy so it was a lump when put onto the plate. need to find the recipe to find out how to do the base, but it tasted yummy! and all free apart from 1 HxA for the cheese.

For desset i had 2 sliced of toast HxB + 1 syns for the flora extra light.

Packet of monster munch 5.5syns
= 10.5syns so far. not too bad really
