Quavers for breakfast are awesome and you are missing out. I suggest you try Quavers (hula hoops work just as well) for breakfast and report back on said awesomeness.

;)
 
LOL you're just like my daughter. She regularly has quavers or skips for breakfast. They're a great treat for the amount of calories in them.
Stay firm about how much work you're willing to take on or they will try and pile more and more on you.
 
I'm trying ^_^ It's a very good feeling being able to use Uni as an excuse (a very valid one!!) for not working so much!

I'm thinking of joining up to WW again I think. I've really been struggling recently. I know better than this, which is annoying. Think I need a kick up the bum.

I've just booked flights (SO MUCH MONEY!! :( :() back to the States to go visit Yank's family on the 28th December so it's a really good excuse to drop as many pounds as possible as the last time they saw me I was pushing 210lbs I think. Want to make them impressed with me!!

Going to eat at a tapas restaurant tonight called La Tasca but they have a "healthy choice" menu which I'll eat off and I'm looking at calories online now so I know what I can have.
 
You're a bit of a tall one I see. Nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by my corner for bit.

Feel free to use any excuse possible for motivation. If you wanna look good for the family? Go for it! Whatever it takes.
 
I love tapas and obviously living in Spain temptation is everywhere. Haven't been in a tapas bar since last year as it would end up being a binge fest :)
I'm sure your "inlaws" will be extremely impressed with your weight loss.
I'd definitley start going to WW again if I started to struggle as it really worked for me. When you know that somebody is going to weigh you once a week it really makes you think before you eat something especially the couple of days before the meeting :)
 
I was pretty, pretty, prettttttttty good at La Tasca. Until the churros. But I only had one. And then fresh strawberries for pudding. :willy_nilly:

:piggy: So I had:

chicken skewers with grilled pepper (on the low fat menu)
potato with passata and roasted veg
Spanish ommelette
one piece of garlic bread
paella with grilled chicken.

Tiny portion sizes so I'd think around 1000 for the lot. If that. I was very limited with portions of everything.

 
mmmm I love La Tasca!

Quavers are much better the hula hoops - for a start, they must have some cheese in them, which is vaguely dairy...(hahaha), plus 97 cals a packet...if you're going to eat something that usually comes out of a vending machine, you could do worse than quavers!

Gosh, I remember the times I used to eat left over chinese takeaway for breakfast!! ITs a wonder I wasn't twice as heavy!

Exciting news about the trip to Yank's family - have you met them a lot before? Good motivation to keep going though...and you need a kick up the ar$e lately!!! hehehe.

Have a great day hun! Remember, its nearly the weeeeeekend!!!
 
Hey jay ^_^ I've met them once before! Me and Yank met on the good ol' internet so it was actually our first meeting "in real life" ever and I went back to the states after he spent a week in England and met them then. Couldn't really get to know them as I was still getting to know Yank! So haven't seen them since then, which was lasttttt september, I believe! So it's been a long while!

Going to attempt to step on the scales when I can drag my butt out of bed but Conor was tossing and turning all night so I was up drinking water a lot and I've just drunk a lot now so will probably be fatter. Wonderful. And then of course I had my morning wake up call from the office asking me to do a shift. I ignored it and went back to sleep and then texted apologising for not answering and that I was sleeping and hoped they'd found someone to do the shift and I got a reply saying "That someone was me. Thanks."

Looks like I'm in bad books!


Breakfast: slimfast shake (220)
Lunch: 2 carrots (50) lettuce leaves (0)
Dinner:
Snacks:
Water:

Total:
Exercise: 6 mile walk - 557 calories burnt according to internet resource.

So, I'm back up to 12stone 10pounds. Goody. Didn't want to get on the scales but need to hold myself accountable for my shitty eating choices recently. Had extra salty popcorn last night as a snack so hoping the salt intake and lack of water has something to do with it but we'll see..Going to drink water like a dying fish today and have a detox. :piggy:

I think you've mentioned before that you guys met on the internet - it does ring a bell. That's why I wondered if you'd met his family lots or not. Well, i hope this trip gives you the chance to get to know them better and feel a bit more comfortable around them - it just takes time I guess!

Don't let work guilt you into feeling bad...you hadn't promised to do a shift this morning so its their fault if they've made promises to clients and not got enough workers signed up to fulfil them. I mean, tough on the end client if they NEED a careworker, but equally you got to live your own life - it is just a job!
 
Hey Sunny!!

Great to see you are doing well. I read back to your ingrown toenail and hope you are feelin better.

Thanks for the wellwishes and I hope to be back soon, (to kick your arse!)

Take care...and hope you get some time to relax in between workin and school.
 
Thanks Jay--Just frustrating. Wish I had a normal 9-5 sometimes that I could just do and then forget about until the next day. I find it very hard to keep it as just a job and not invest too much emotionally I think.

No kicking my ass please, Flumeface. I'm back on track, I promise ;) Hope you're well xxx

So I went out for dinner last night. The nice healthy restaurant I wanted to go to was SHUT. :nopity: Fucking typical! Ended up at an Indian but I remember my WW leader telling me to get a shashlick (sp?) which has no sauce and is just grilled tikka chicken with roasted peppers. Was YUMMY. Shared a rice with Yank and had a bit of naan but no starters or pudding :D Very pleased with myself!

Wish I wasn't so busy with friends. Haven't eaten at home in the evening in days! And it's my roomies 22nd birthday today so we're going out tonight for food as well! Luckily (or not!) I've not eaten today yet because I was in a rush for work and forgot to pack a lunch/breakfast. So it's now 2pm and I'm about to have a shower and stuff so will grab some low-cal noodle soup for 47 calories and a slimfast shake and hope that dinner isn't too calorific!
 
Changed my mind about lunch. Had a cup of cooked pasta (187) with 3 bits of turkey ham all chopped up on top and a VERY small handful of WW cheese. It was the most YUM lunch lunch ever! And only about 240 calories for a bowl :D
