Put that down, fatty! (For the last time!!)

On this horrid TV show here (Honey Boo Boo).... the mom made ketchup and butter pasta.

OMG OMG OMG, I'm not the only one that loves plastic cheese slices on rice!!!!!! I love to put soy sauce on the rice and then melt the cheese slice on top. I try not to buy those damn cheese slices as I'll find any sort of way to eat them. Funny thing is, as a child, I HATED them unless they were melted. Now I can eat it not melted, by itself, on anything, etc. My fav is using it on a BBQ burger. UGH! Stupid processed crap. So every time I think to buy it, I just don't. I tend to buy it in the summer for BBQ season and then not the rest of the year. lol

Good job on eating clean the past couple days!
 
Sounds like a deliciously high calorie weekend! Tomato sauce on pasta? I used to do that, but grew out of it. I do *love* cheese on rice (real cheese, not plastic), and wont eat plain rice without cheese.. mind you I don't eat much rice.

Kudo's for eating clean the past few days - feeling better? How did you enjoy horse therapy? We use it a lot here, and have seen some seriously amazing results for both kids and adults.
 
Bean, the therapy has been great for the kids. They've all had such awful pasts and the horses are so calming and peaceful. Think it's the whole thing though--being out in nature, exercise, getting the horse from the field and then tacking it up, riding it and then brushing it and releasing it back into the field. It's a whole process they can see through and empowering for them. It's lovely to see the change in him.

Risty, I'm glad I'm not alone with the cheese and rice! Delish.

I had 1400 calories yesterday (and no wine!!) so expected a drop after 2 days clean eating but scales stuck at 214. Never mind--Got 4 days off next week so gonna go swimming all days and keep up with the clean eating. Day off today but the children's home is being inspected so may well end up going into work in a while. And then a friend is visiting tonight so going for food and drinks--will make good choices!! xo
 
Don't stress about being stuck on the scales. It could be for any number of reasons, just keep being sensible :) It will come off.

That horse therapy sounds interesting. I'm a SENCo and have been doing a course in Autism - they talk a lot about animals being very theraputic for children with behavioural, physical or learning disabilities. One of the women on the course has a dog at the special school she works at! I think that's so awesome. I'm currently trying to convince my boss to let us get a guinea pig (starting small, we're only a little daycare lol) since horses and dogs are probably a bit out of our league. But I'd like to think it would have a similar effect :)
 
Enjoy your food and drinks (nice combo) and good luck for making the best choices, (you'll be fine I'm sure).

Yeah, heartburn is definitely a bad side effect from loving food too much :). I suffered with it for many years and ended up having to take medication. However, there is a ray of hope because once I lost the bulk of my weight the heartburn all but disappeared and I'm totally off the meds (just the odd rennie at the weekend now). I also know a few others who have got rid of their chronic indigestion through weight loss. Also your not that odd, I like mushy peas straight out of the tin.
 
There are some really disgusting food choices there. You all need to eat healthy normal foods like PBJ with Doritos on it.
 
We are all gross :p Luckily I have avoided the pasta and ketchup this week. Scales are are 212 so that's another 2lbs gone (it's taken me long enough....) which I am very pleased with. Made home-made burgers last night with very lean mince and had those with chopped up veggies instead of the sweet potato fries I wanted to make so made a good choice there I think.

I got that second job with the care homes for adults with disabilities so going in to do my police check, etc, on Thursday but other than that my week is relatively free. Which spells trouble for a boredom snacker like me! Must keep busy! Off to the pictures tomorrow night to see Hunger Games (yes, I know.) and got some training today so just need to keep dinner choices healthy and clean and hope that the rest will take care of itself!

Right, off to some training now for a few hours and then home to decide what I'm doing for the rest of the day. Want to play some Skyrim but video games = SNACKS.

Catch up soon xo
 
Can you have a big bottle of cold water next to you when you're playing video games? And/or some veggies with a little salt? You're certainly not savoring good tastes when you're playing shoot-em-up!
 
That's interesting that video games mean snacks for you, because my boyfriend is the opposite....the more video games he plays the less he eats (and drinks!) I want to see Hunger Games! It's been years since I've seen a movie in a theater. So that means it will be months before I see it, haha
 
I ended up NOT playing video games and joined a Health Club instead for a ridiculous amount of money. I'm so impulsive! But, on the plus side I did 40 mins swimming lengths, 30 mins on the bike in the gym and then a glorious 20 mins in the jacuzzi being all lovely and relaxed. You get towels there and everything! And it was me and about 3 old ladies so had the place to myself :D

Going there again today after work and then again tomorrow. Who knew exercise could be fun? Am now investing in uber sexy swimming cap to keep lovely blonde locks from going green in the water.


I shall be the most graceful balooooga whale in Portsmouth.
 
Thanks Q.

I went again today straight from work. Work was wank today--Really depressing and left feeling quite sad so was good to burn some energy off and clear my head. Swimming is good for that. Swam solidly for almost an hour so feel quite shattered now but home for a quick change of clothes and off to the pictures for Hunger Games and a glass of wine (or 2). Think I deserve them today! Swimming again tomorrow after work as well so will get an early night tonight!!
 
Great job going for a swim instead of eating away the sad. Sorry the day was so rough...that must be inevitable with what you do, but that doesn't make it easier. It's great that you had some fun plans too look forward to at least.
 
I second way Oaks said. I need to learn to do something else besides eating away the sad! Great job Hannah!
 
That's awesome that you're starting to swim - great full body workout, and it sounds like it's good stress relief. Added bonus that you almost have the place to yourself.

I'll second what Q said about the green hair. I'm constantly asking my wife to dye her hair green - forest green, in particular. I watched a lot of Robotech when I was a kid, and Miriya was one of my favorites. Oops, sorry, wrong forum!
 
Thanks guys xo

Did another 50 lengths yesterday at the pool and walked 12,000 steps so pretty pleased with myself. No time to go today so will go Sunday and then that will have been 4 times this week!
 
Thanks boys ^_^

I was very, very bad on Friday night. Went out with two of the women from work and we started drinking at 4 and Conor had to come drag my ass home from some random guys house at 3am. Nothing happened but not a good situation to be in AT ALL. We met them in a bar at like 6pm and they were planning their friend's stag do and this guy was all over me like a fucking rash despite being engaged and kept throwing money at us for drinks and being quite creepy in general. So I left the bar at 9pm to make a call and then the door men wouldn't let me back in so I called him a few choice words (also terrible idea) and got myself barred. So that was classy. So we decided to go back to this guy's house (he said it was ONE of his houses...Kept telling us how much he earned and how many cars he had and stuff) which was just a shit, shit idea because we clearly gave them the impression something was going to happen and that was not on the cards for us. So I got a "tour" of the house which ended up with him shutting me in his room AND LOCKING THE DOOR and getting quite pissed off that I wasn't going to do anything with him and he got quite nasty and Conor had to come and get us--Surprised he didn't knock these guys out but to be fair, I should never have gone in the first place. Stupid me.

So I'm queen of crap choices.

New day tomorrow and going swimming first thing in the morning because I can't face going today--me and Yank are decorating the tree and wrapping presents and having a duvet day together. Food will be salad for lunch and then pasta tonight at a friend's house. Scales still at 212 today xo
