30 day shred!

Hello everybody!

My 30 day shred dvd will be arriving tomorrow and i can't wait to try it!!!! I've heard great things about it and i've just had a look on youtube and the level one looks really good and simple to do. No complicated moves just plain old exercise. Perfect!

I also bought the Camilla's cardio dance workout with Camilla from Strictly come dancing. It had good reviews and i wanted to try something dancy. I figure if i start with the shred for 30 mins a day, have a 10 min rest then do 20 mins of the Camilla dvd then i will soon start seeing a difference in my wobbly belly and bum!!!! (also, could provide some entertainment for Liam watching me struggle my way through the shred!!!!)

Today i had a naughty lunch at swimming and now this afternoon i feel really really sicky and indegestiony...i knew after i ordered it i shouldnt have!! but its so good i couldnt resist!!!! Gonna just stick to my superfree this evening, might have a cold chicken salad or something.

Yesterday was a really good day, i ended up having my HEB left over after dinner, so i had a honey sarnie...and it was lush and within my syns...yum yum yum!

Imogen is conked out in her bed at the moment, swimming totally wipes her out. Will be a late night in the Twine household tonight!

Better go and make myself a cuppa and do some washing up. Facebook and half the people on it are annoying me today, i don't like being ignored! HUMPH.

Day 3!

 hope you all had a lovely pancake day!
I made some SW pancakes which were nice, very eggy i have to say (you can put vanilla essence in the mixture but i didnt have any!) They were nice and i will have them again!!! I had salmon, cous cous and roasted veg for my dinner last night, it was lush! I saved 10 syns to have some normal pancakes for pudding lol. Was soo worth it.

This morning ive had bacon, scrambled egg and beans followed by half a melon and a banana. I did have a cheaky weigh this morning and my scales informed me i was down 7lb since monday lol...very nice! Not gonna weigh myself now until monday morning otherwise i will start getting addicted!!

Imogen has preschool today which means i get a whole 1.5 hours to myself this afternoon. Might treat myself to a magazine and a curly wurly (6 syns) on the way back home.

PANCAKES!

On reflection, today has been a good day!! All bran and milk for breakfast (hea&b) then decided on a tuna salad for lunch, lettuce, peppers, carrot, avacado (5syns for 1/2 an avacado!) some balsamic vinegar and tuna. Yum yum!! Had some melon for afters to and a couple of Krackawheat crackers (3 syns) and for dinner we had roast chicken with all the trimmings (5 syns for gravy, honey for the parsnips and the butter and milk in the mash) Passion fruit and a muller light mango and passionfruit for pudding.

I actually feel full for the first time in ages, and its GREAT!!

Now tomoro is one of my fave days of the year - PANCAKE DAY!!!

SW friendly pancakes which are FREE!:

2 large eggs
sweetener

Separate the yolk and the white, whisk the white with the sweetener until still (like meringue) then fold in the egg yolk and voila! This will be your batter. Spray your pan with frylight and off you go!!
I will be having lemon and sugar with mine (using my syns on the sugar!!!!) as i dont fancy sweetener on my pancakes!!

I cant wait to take pics to put on here, om nom nom nom!!!!!!!

day 1! (Again!!!!!)

This morning i had 35g All bran and Milk (heb&a) and topped it with a banana and half a pear for my 1/3 superfree. For the first time ever i actually measured out my milk using one of Imogens old baby bottles and was pleasantly suprised at how much 250ml is!

Im currently waiting for my Tesco delivery to turn up. Going to make a spicy carrot and lentil soup for lunch today. Will be difficult eating it without bread BUT i dont want to go off course (again!) so will probs have it in a cup instead of a bowl lol.

Not sure what to have for dinner tonight. My other half is working the morning today so will be home for dinner time! Will have a rummage through my recipe books and see what i can find :D

Diet starts again!

And so the time has come to get back on that bandwagon and lose the lbs!!!

I have been researching the Extra Easy plan on Slimming world. In the past i have always followed the green plan because i wasnt sure how EE worked! However now i know i think it is much better than sticking to one plan and seems like you can have more leeway with what you eat and doesnt restrict you to only eating a certain type of food (pulses/meat etc).

Basically you can have anything that is free on the Green and Red plans, so pulses, beans, pasta, potatoes, eggs and meat, and then 1 HEB (Bread/cereals) and 1 HEA (cheese/milk) also making sure you have 1/3 of your plate superfree.

Seems easy enough, will deffo give it a go! Along with more exercise! i STILL need to get the bits for the wii out but ive also ordered a few exercise dvds to start doing instead of sitting on my bottom!!!

Im going to print out these lists and stick it to my cupboard doors in the kitchen to always remind me of what i can have. Also ontop of my veg box, i intend on going and getting some big bags of fruit and veg coz we always seem to run out when doing SW!! xx

havin trouble!

Getting off my big fat bum and doing something!!!

Maybe i should make a list, i do love lists!

Things to do today:

1)Clean and tidy Imogens bedrom
2) Move toys from living room into Imogens bedroom
3)Hoover the flat
4)Remove the stickers that are stuck to my living room floor!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!
5)Sort out the clothes in the airing cupboard - bag any unwanted clothes and sell!!!!!!
6)washing up...blurgh

Whats the likely hood that i will do this? Probable i hope! I just need to get my arse into gear. Immy is having a nap at the moment so i am enjoying the peace and quiet, and enjoying having a warm living room for the 1st time in ages!!!!!!! Stupid storage heaters, why were they invented? They are most annoying!

So, i bought a leather chair off a lady on facebook. Im hoping its nice!!! I have been looking for sooooo long for a brown leather chair but all i could find was tub chairs for like £90! This chair was £30, what a bargian eh? WELL CHUFFED!

How was your valentines day? Mine was sooooo uneventful, Liam had work, Immy and i went for a long walk and then to the park! Came home, cooked some dinner, had a bath and went to bed. Probably the least entertaining Valentines day ive had lol. I really think i need to win the lottery so i can take Liam out and actually DO something together for once! Last time we went out on our own has to be over a year ago now! I think it was to the cinema but i cant remember what it was we went to watch!

The sun is out now and is making me feel a little better. Think i will go and wake my pudding up and start on the toy clean out!! Wish me luck yummies! xxxxx

Happy Valentines Day, Yummies!!!!!
