BARGIN!!! haha

well hello people, wednesday has gone well, well under syns, and feel like i can continue onwards and upwards!

I still feel pissed off with my friend who didn't come to wi on monday, i have kinda forgive one as i beleive she only didn't go because the other friend didn't go! but S who has a lot to lose just bottled it and i really think in only her 2nd week she should have faced the scales and dealt with it. i know everyone is differnt but she always turns tail on what she says she will do. she asked me to keep texting her support but i haven't texted her one with support, she texted me tonight asking how my week was going and i just said fine, i can't be arse and feel like i'll say something horrid if i get into a conversation with her! (bad friend alert!)

Good Tuesday

Been on track. Had a really good food day. Helps that i was busy. really enjoying the work i'm doing at the mo, this is bound to change soon as i am liking it. Its complex stuff but becasue it is quite old stuff it is intereting and there are some cracking stuff out there!!

i also spent a couple of hours with a lad i used to work with listening to his calls as he's now on the residential contact centre which i will be moving on to in the not to distant future! i think i will be ok i actually help him with some stuff. guess it helps i worked on the prepayment call centre for 5 years before moving to back office work. it kinda feels like taking a step donw but alsa is is side ways and the only other one i could take would be out the door!

Food wise i had

i got really drunk at the come dine with nat told all my friends how much i weigh.

but i relaised i'm over 3stone lighter than the biggest and 3 stone heavier than the thinest (who is 7 weeks short of giving birth!!) i got very very drunk, me and nat went clubbing and i abandoned her i don't remeber leaving her house! bad times!

really getting into BB loving the puppet task shame its the last ever one!

Come Dine With Nat

thats what i'm doing tonight! my friend nat is cooking for us. But unlike the real come dine with me. we have some little hints, i know there will be sweet chilli dipping sauce, some one else has been told there will be chicken!

i have give in and bought some rosé wine, mainly becasue i liked the label. but i think there will only be 2 of us drinking as one is pregnant and the other 2 are driving.

I went for a bra fitting today. my friend is the manager of our local Ann Summers and i went in browsing. she asked me what size and i confessed i had no idea, so i got hauled to the back of the shop and asaulted by the tape measure. it came out as 40DD! By Ek! never in a month of sundays. i accept the back measusrement! but DD these tiny apples! narrr. i was wearing 38C and had plenty of cup space. i know all bras are differnt so she fitted me in a 38C and i really like it, it fits well. still a bit tight round the back but better than the one i was wearing.

 Its not a shop i would normally go into even though one of my closest friends works there but i may be back. and she even gave me her staff discount as it was dearer than the 1st one we picked out so i onl paid £7.00!!! woooo

I have also managerd to spend the next vouchers work gave me for my birthday. i got a blue and pink rose print crinckle t-shirt and a silver charm bracelt. i also treated myself to some pretty earings!

I am so hungry ii hope people arn't too late tonight as i could eat a horse right now!

MVM - i like it and i just can't hide it!

i had totally forgotten about this site but just had a little play about on it and this is my virtual me as of my weight now!

In the Buff!

The Default Jeans look it gave me

A vert cute top from some American Website and a denim skirt

I like the skirt but not the top!!!

Some one asked how you make slimming world chips.

they are Simples as the meer cat would say.

Cut up some white potatoes (what variety i don't know!) in to chip shapes.

Boil in water for about 5 -7 mins

spray and oven tray with fry light (1 cal spray cooking oil)

add the chips,

spray some more fry light

cook for 20-30 mins at 180 degrees C

add salt and vinegar and enjoy!

some people add those Shot spice mixes or herbs and things but i just have them plain, and i prefer them to oven chips!

Hope that helps.

Bad bad food day but its done now tomorrow is a fresh day, my tea was very disappointing hence the lack of a photo, whitshire han sw chips and beans. my dad though i was going out for tea (errrr no as per our discusion at 6.30am its tomorrow!) and a bit p'd off really as he had a plate full of chips an inch thick slice of ham and i got 2 wafer thin scraps hmmmm

off to watch Australias biggest loser

see ya laters aligators x

Its a new day, a new dawn

I've had another really good food day!

Breakfast
ELF Cottage cheese on toast. Free / HxB

Snack
shape 0% yoghurt Free

Tea 

Home made Basa in home made breadcrumbs with herbs and black pepper, Slimming world chips and mushy pea. 

really easy to do and only 3 syns (that's what I'm counting for the bread crumbs as it i used 3 slices of wholemeal bread, shared between 3 people and i bet i only used 2/3s)

Snack
some shelled peas

i still need an HxA today but i could happliy go with out it.

today has been a bit of a revelation, because i could have so easily had so many other things such as a strawberry mivvi ice lolly.

my mum also gave me a linen skirt and some linen pants size 16 from primark and they almost fit. its not so long ago that i wouldn't have even attempted the size 18s!

and now for a pretty picture!

Summer is definitely here! we can eat pea's than need to be shelled and the Clematis is in flower!

The Long Road To Hell

Thats what today has felt like.  its been football again or F*@$ing Football as i like to call it.
Work offered people 2 hours TOIL to watch the match but time has to be made up this week, so a lot of people on my department didn't take it (a lot did but not as many as would if it could have been taken as a holiday time worked back next week) Then this afternoon we find out other areas can take it how ever they like! ho hum, i didn't want any time but felt for those who wanted to watch it and are off for the rest of the week s couldn't make the time back.

Every Wednesday my team has a scrum (basically a team meeting) for 45 mins 3.15pm -4.00pm. so i have to have my lunch at 2.30pm which is far to early when i work til 8pm and don't get home till 9ish! i asked if it was going to be cancelled just in case we needed to cover the call centre and got told no its 100% going ahead go for lunch at 2.30pm! then 2.40pm she cancels the meeting! when i got back i was so mad, i ended up tearing up with rage. i was shaking i was that mad. we really need punch bags installing at strategic places around the office.

The phones were dead, we didn't have to cover the lines, loads of people kept skipping off to check the score and it was just a piss take, i tried to carry on working but i felt so mad. But i am really proud of myself i didn't turn to food. The 2 girls i was sat with tried their best, i'd bought one of them a gingerbread man from tesco  (i bought myself some cherries!) as she was naffed off about not being able to finish early to watch football and she kept popping it up over the partition between our desks making me laugh. then she ate him saving the smartie buttons til last!

then after 4pm me and tracy was having a game of can you eat a cherry and leave the stone attached to the stalk! oh the fun we have! did cheer me up!!! the we expected the call centre to be quite after 6 (i expected most people to be pissed up in a pub some where!) but no we had about 6 calls quing most of the time! but good news one of my targets i've exceded and am on 532% for the month go me! shame it doesn't roll over for next month!

food wise i've stuck to it apart from one meal where i didn't have my 1/3 superfree.

Breakfast
3x Apricots

Snack
velvet crunch crisps 4 syns
2 finger kit kat 5.5syns (yes i ate them both in the same sitting!)

Snack
Banana
Podded Peas
2 x plums
strawberries and blueberries
Cherries
(these were spread out from 12pm -6pm)

Lunch
Thai chilli savoury rice, cucumber, beetroot and chicken
shape 0% yogurt

Tea
3 x Tesco light choice cumberland sausaged 3syns
½ back tesco light choices fresh mash 2.5syns
WW lemon and lime yogurt

I've not had any healthy extras and its going up to 11pm. but not sure if i need them.

i also had a sneaky peek on the scales at work which always weigh me heavier and i'm 16, 7 on them which is looking good.

i'm going to a come dine with me night on saturday, she's said she'll try and make it SW friendly as she joined on monday and my friend who lost 9.5lbs last week is going as well so with any luck we will survive that ok, its just the drink but i will try to stick to Vodka! :0)

I'm greatful its my day off tomorrow, could do with a long sleep but need to sort out my wardrobe so will aim to get up as early as i can and get cracking on that!

i got some nice comments at work today, i wore a white linen skirt from Tracy (the lady with the cherries above!) and a navy vest t-shirt and loads of people said it was very flattering, was nice to hear i just need to learn how to accept compliments i usually bat them away or mumble but need to take them!!

Also this morning as i got in the lift i didn't recognise myself, as i was going in i thought who's coming out dressed in my clothes! and it was me! had to do a double take. thats weird thats the 1st time i've ever done that!!!

Happy Smiling People Holding Hands

Yay had a really good day food and diet wise. Moral at work has been rock bottom.

Work is pants simple as they are expecting more and more from us sales/ we have debit card payment targets (we're a back office team we have limited interaction with customers!) we are changing to front office telephony work in the near future. our office in Rayleigh is shutting on Friday, we've had to pick this week how we want our pay cuts (not at all please!) they want us to pick rubbish shift, then they offer us 2 hours off to watch the England Game tomorrow but we have to make it up at some point this week no flexibility for people on holiday the rest of the week! i didn't ask for any time as i have managed a whole 32mins of England's matches so far this world cup plus I'm working til 8pm and with the strict alcohol policy its not even like i could go to the pub over the road and get pissed as I'd have to go back and do my phone cover from 5pm!!! OK rant over!!!

I've had someone ask me what SW stands for, its Slimming World. its the plan i follow and i love it. it have been the best "Diet" I've ever done. I've stuck at it for 18 months I've lost 3.5stone. i feel better, i have a lovely class and a great consultant.

Many people may remember the plan from years ago and most know it as RED and GREEN Days BUT now there are ORANGE Days.

RED : You can have:

• 2 Healthy Extra A (HxA) - calcium portions a day (such as 350ml skimmed milk, 28g cheese or 42g of low fat cheese) 
• 2 Healthy Extra B (HxB)- fiber choices ( such as 2 slices of wholemeal bread from 400g loaf or 28g of cereal such as special K/ or a portion of pasta potatoes all measured not got the book to had for weight example but a small portion)
• Unlimited free food (i call it neutral food ie free on all plans) such as low fat cottage cheese, eggs, zero fat yogurts such as Muller lights (don't fall for marks and Spencer's zero fat yogurt!)
• Unlimited super free food which is fruit and veg (not sweet corn, baked beans, spaghetti or potatoes) 
• Then unlimited Lean meat / fish with all visible skin removed and fat trimmed (including bacon, chicken, beef, lamb, etc)
• 5-15 syns (syns stands for synergy) and these are basically treats, syn values seem quite high when you start doing to at 1st but you soon get use to it and it helps to get you off snacky snacks and on to fruit and veg snacks 

Green:

• 2 Healthy Extra A (HxA) - calcium portions a day (such as 350ml skimmed milk, 28g cheese or 42g of low fat cheese)
• 2 Healthy Extra B (HxB) - fiber choices ( such as 2 slices of wholemeal bread from 400g loaf or 28g of cereal such as special K/ or a portion of meat or fish all measured not got the book to had for weight example but a small portion)
• Unlimited free food (i call it neutral food ie free on all plans) such as low fat cottage cheese, eggs, zero fat yogurts such as Muller lights (don't fall for marks and Spencer's zero fat yogurt!)
• Unlimited super free food which is fruit and veg (including sweetcorn, baked beans, spagetti hoops) 
• Unlimited carbs, potatoes, dried pasta, couscous (some will have syn values but these are just the basics)
• 5-15 syns (syns stands for synergy) and these are basically treats, syn values seem quite high when you start doing to at 1st but you soon get use to it and it helps to get you off snacky snacks and on to fruit and veg snacks

Orange or Extra Easy (its proper name)

• 1 Healthy Extra A (HxA) - calcium portions a day (such as 350ml skimmed milk, 28g cheese or 42g of low fat cheese) 
• 1 Healthy Extra B (HxB) - fiber choices ( such as 2 slices of wholemeal bread from 400g loaf or 28g of cereal such as special K/ or a portion of meat or fish all measured not got the book to had for weight example but a small portion)
• Unlimited free food (i call it neutral food ie free on all plans) such as low fat cottage cheese, eggs, zero fat yogurt's such as Muller lights (don't fall for marks and Spencer's zero fat yogurt!)
• Unlimited super free food which is fruit and veg - All meals must contain 1/3 super free food
• Unlimited carbs, potatoes, dried pasta, cous cous (some will have syn values but these are just the basics)
• Unlimited Lean meat / fish with all visible skin removed and fat trimmed (including bacon, chicken, beef, lamb, etc)
• 5-15 syns (syns stands for synergy) and these are basically treats, syn values seem quite high when you start doing to at 1st but you soon get use to it and it helps to get you off snacky snacks and on to fruit and veg snacks

There may be a bit more to it than this, and reading it you might think eh, how can that work but i am proof it works, my mum is at her target weight after losing 3st 5lbs on the same plan, a girl at work as lost 7lbs in the last 5 weeks, another has lost almost 2stone in about 10 weeks.

This is what i had for my tea tonight!!! mmm

As an example of what i eat here is today's food diary!
its prob a good day to do this as i have stuck to it!

Breakfast
HiFi cereal bar (HxB)

Snack
22g Bag of Monster Munch Pickled Onion 5.5Syns
Tangerine

Lunch
Chicken flavour savoury rice, with added sweetcorn green beans, slice of had and some sliced chicken (i ate this in 4 portions through out the day to keep me going)

 Sugar free jelly with frozen berries (1.5syns for a full sachet my portion was 1/6 so not counting syns for this)

Supper

Total

I'm sure I've confused more than cleared up, anyone on slimming world please feel free to add your comments as to what I've put wrong.

the best way to get all the info is to join a class or go on line and have a look.


In answer to the question what i did this week, was stick to it 83% (just a guess) i did have a couple of slip ups along the way (3 bags of McCoys on one night springs to mind) i do very little exercise i need to start doing more but due to my hours at work i don't find the time, but i am trying to do more walking.

xxx

5½lbs down!!!! yipppeeee

I did it i lost 5.5lbs! wow can you belive it! i need to keep up the good work i've vowed to lose 3lbs this week!!! and i want to do it!!! i can do it!

i feel bad for doubting my friend she lost a massive 9.5lbs i'm so pleased for her, another friend joined tonight. i just hope they all stick with it!!

Love SW and if anyone knows of any SW blogs please can you send me the links would love to read more about what other SW memebers do.

i love all blogs but sometime s i think its good to read about other peoples jounreys along the same path!

xxxxx

someone pass the masking tape

and put it over my gob!!!!

i've eaten 3 packets of McCoys crisp today and had an ince cream tub from the ice cream van!

it was yummy but soooo bad! i haven't had any alchol and what i would have drunk if i'd gone out last night would have been far worse!!!

for tea tonight we had roasted Sea Bass, Roast Veg (sweet potato, new potatos, parsnips, red onions, red peppers, corgett, mushrooms, maybe more but can't remeber) it was very nice x

for afters we had eaton mess, 0% greek yogurt, fresh strawberrys and 1 mini merange. all for 1 syn!!! yummy!!!

I've also made tomorrows lunch - mexican flavour savoury rice, left over roast veg, cooked chicken, sweetcorn and green beans!

We went shopping at Crown point in Denton today, all i got was a bra bought a size 36D by mistake and it fits, a little bit tight on the back but should be ok soon. i'll spare you a picture of that and was a bargin reduced from £12 to £5! :0)

we had a bit of fun in TK Maxx trying on sun hats and sun glasses!

This hat was so big that you couldn't see yourself in the mirror properly the only option was to take a photo. that always reminds me of the film Clueless - where Cher doesn't trust mirrors and always takes polirois of her self!

final a self portrate, its a bit wonky as camera was on one of the may recycling wheely bins that have to live in our fron garden!

i'm looking forward to WI i just hope its going to start going in the right direction!

I have also updated the photo tab at the top picks Jan 2009 - Dec 2009

Half Way Back On Track

I've been a lot better today adn i feel that i will be back on track 100% tomorrow.
Some holiday pictures now:
The View from the plane window as we come into land

A Statue in la Carihuela

One of the reasons i think i've gained weight! it was bloody delish!

ok so my battery died half way though this post then once i found my powercable my internet access had died! so no more pics for tonight.

I have finally sucumbed to a sneaky peek and i'm still in the 16s up to now but a lot can happen between now and 7pm tomorrow night!

i had a syn free tea, roast quater chicken, loads of roast veg. i meant to take  a pic but forgot. i had been bad and had a costo blueberry muffin! ops!


I'm still loving Blipfoto i've posted one photo a day since a joined the site so i'm quite impressed!

i need to set myself some goals for june, but i think i will wait til after wi tomorrow.

my friend and her mum are planning on joining SW tomorrow i really hope they do. she knows she needs to do something and i really think it will be good for her. i think the majority of diet clubs work. you just need to find one that works for you, i'm not a fan of things like Ali or slim fast but saying that i haven't tried them but i'm not sure how they could possibily work for sustained weight loss.

also i'm on the look out for some slimming world inspiration so if anyone knows anyone on SW who blogs or any good recipes (i tend to do the extra easy plan) could you please let me know xxxxx

Hello

Well hello.

hope i haven't been un-followed by too many people!

i've been a bad blogger and a bad memeber of slimming world. and i need to stop eating crap.

since the last time i blogged i've eaten nothing but crap, in the beginning it was the run up to what SW calls a STAR WEEK! well that happened last week while i was in Spain, and i ate crap, i drank everyday! not been much better since i got home, i had to work yesterday and today and it's been non stop crap, i have had fruit and veg but the crap defo out weighed all the goodness!!!

i feel heavy i've been too scared to weigh myself!

monday i will face the music on the official scales and re-start, going to try and be good tomorrow. but 100% back on track from monday xxx

no more get ups as i'm not going to bed!

Today is officially holiday day! wooo hooo!!!

i'm shattered as i've been up since 6.45am but as i need to be up about 3am didn't see the point of going to bed!

diet wise as you know i was shocking last week and the scales made me pay the price 5lbs gain! ops! its well deserved and i can honestly say i only enjoyed a small part of gaining that weight! ideally i like to have lost it all and more by the time i get weighed again but i'll take any loss.

i am still loving blipfoto.com check it out if you haven't already

this is my page http://www.blipfoto.com/OpenYourEyes.

i've checked 100 times that i have tickets and passport, i've repacked  my case 40 times. i don't know what to do with myself!

i'll leave you all witha sepia pic of me taken my my mama on the eve of the band contest when we were in a nice warm pub witha  glass of rosé and lemonade mmmmm

Happy Eurovision Day!!!!!

Well Eurovision was a DISATER for the UK but at least we didn't get Nil Points! Oh well may be next year. I even printed off a Eurovision score card of BBC website, i'm afriad my voting was nothing like the rest of the official votes!!!

I wanted France or |Greece to win, then Belarus i loved the Butterfly dresses i totally want one!

Yesterday was Whit Friday and Band Contest . As promised some photos !

I love it when they March, it always seems like a much more fun performance than when they are on the band stand. There were some really great bands and the rain held off all night! on the way home me and my mum called in a pub near my house for a loo stop that was about 10pm and we got home at midnight!!!

Today was the Saddleworth Beer Walk
I hadn't signed up and because the weather was awful we didn't go up to watch but as not to disapoint someone (they know who they are) here are a few for last year, i'm shocked how big i look on these pictures!!!

As you can see its a bit of a crazy day, i'm defo doing it next year!!!

Instead of going to Saddleowth we just went into town and it was Festival Oldham - The beach was the theme such a shame about the weather.

Deit wise it has been another disater, breakfast white oven bottom muffin with extra light dairylee triangles
Snack mcdonalds coffee and apple pie
tea Greggs cornish Pasty and and a sausage roll
supper bacon btty. and hink there may have been more but i have chosen to forget them! BAD BA|D BAD!!!!!

I was told about a really great website tonight by my friend Mandy its called Blipfoto. i love it you can up load only one photo a day and it knows from the data stored on you photos file when you took it so you can't cheat. i've always wanted to do a 365 but never get round to posting pics and forgetting when i've took them , i've checked and you and upload for previous dates as well so i'm going to give it a go.

My page is http://www.blipfoto.com/OpenYourEyes Now if your wondering about the title anyone who has a wii fit (sorry Nil)  will know sometimes the wii fit board tells you to do the body test with your eyes closed at the end of the test it says in its squeaky voice "open your eyes" i love it when it does that and think its quite apt for a photo blog.

now at 6am when i discover id won the award i was going to do the sound track to my childhood but now as its 00:23 i may as well do (a) as i am really quite drunk!!!

Ok so as yesterdays post announced today (ahem yesterday) was Whit friday and Band contest night!!! as you can imagine i have blown every syn i was ever alowed and opppsoe i;m drunk!!! we went down about 8pm, myself and my mum went to meet my gran who was already there but when we arrive we decided to get a drink before we met her!!! we went in Milan and because they are all sophisticated they gave us our drinks in really glasses instead of the standard issue plastic pint pots so we kind had no choice but to sit in the beer garder and be sophisticated! the we met Mar. i will be on a number of home videos of oldham (Lees) band as we went to get her a brew and cos it was so hot and she wasn't looking at us i screemed her name as the band was playing, it was only after i noticed all the video cameras Ops!!

i love the band contest brass might not be everyones cup of tea but its such a local tradition i'd feel robbed if i didnt go! i went last year in the pouring rain thats dedication for you!!!

Tomorrow is beer walk and i've not signed up so i can't officially  do it but thats another amazing event 1500 people all in fancy dress walking 11.5 miles in fancy dress. i might fo and watch part of it if the weather is ok!!

I know my diet is totally out of the window for today and this week but hey ho, life has to happen as well as dieting, i will not beat myself up, i have really wanted to resit but i haveny managed it, i hope mondays wi will put it all into perspective for me, because even though it is bank holiday my class is still open and i will go and face the music.

ok so task 3 of the award is to choose at least 3 people
