Absolutely knackered, but so worth it.

Went for my walk which actually turned out to be 7.3k!!! Delighted I was able to do it but I do admit I stopped about half way through and sat on a bench for 5 minutes for a cigarette. There was a few hills and with the galeforce winds, it took a lot out of me before I had even got half way.

Also, did a good chunk of packing today so delighted with that too.

Having a lowfat version of a staple meal I used to ALWAYS have in college. Wholewheat pasta, lowfat grated cheese, tuna and a piece of low fat garlic bread nom nom nom Can't wait!! Used to eat LOADS of white pasta in college, loads of cheese, tuna (which isn't bad) but then a good chunk of normal garlic bread. Good to know we can still have the things we like

Well done on the losses girls.

Hi folks, am new to this whole thread thing, just stumbled across it by accident, but have really enjoyed reading the posts, its great to have somewhere to go for support and advice. Lost 3st 5 pounds on ww, but packed it in as i couldnt get the hang of new pp system(was too lazy and stubborn to change!!) Am about 5 pounds away from my goal weight, and stuck here, so ive decided to give it another go! heading back to meeting on tues

You have done really well so far. Hopefully the break will have helped you forget about points & be ready to embrace the propoints. Good luck. You're nearly there.

Out of interest what is in the 5% and 10% books?

As most of ye know I'm doing the @ home plan and they send you everything together at the beginning supposedly all the books, the eating out guide, the shopping guide, 12 trackers and the electronic calculator.

But I never got a 5 or 10% book and didn't get anything re maintanance either am i missing anything important maybe if i'd bothered sending my WI's to Kay every week they'd have eventually sent them on??

Great losses Lainy and Layla well done.

Hope to see ye all over in 'our other place'?

Kay_80 like you I am doing it from home and have been sending my WI's in every week and havn't gotter the book so don't think it makes much difference.

I have 8 points left and just had my dinner and wondering what can I ahve later as a snack?

flamelily

evening all,

finally dusted my treadmill off and actually went for a 30 min walk (yay me) so was well chuffed......then undid all my hard work by having a dessert with my dinner.....I have NO WILLPOWER!!!! so pretty much used a heap of my extra points and its like day 3:eek:

Programme on LivingTV called "Morbidly Obese" - Might be interesting, those kinda shows certainly scare me into copping on and being healthy. That's why I love that I made the choice to really get into exercise aswell as healthy eating. I thought it was going to be such a pain (I was extremely lazy) but now I enjoy my walks and any other exercise I do and love that I will be able to keep it up when I get to goal.

Just can't wait to be totally fit and healthy

hi All,
Does anyone have any idea how to point chips in a restaurant? They were skinnyish.

I dont even feel bad for having them as the last time I had chips was in January!!

it depends on the portion...and how the chicken is prepared....like a nandos ceasar salad is about 12pp....

is it fried/baked/grilled chicken.....same goes for the ham...crutons can be toasted in oven or fried till crispie....

always ask for dressing on the side.

Preparation can make a huge difference....

Guys there is a WW supplement in the Sunday World today if anyone is interested.:D

Monife

On a bit of a downer Went out with good intentions to walk 7 or 8k but I took a different route than I normally did and got lost and my runners started rubbing seriously and I was getting really frustrated and upset so I got the OH to come and pick me up... just mapped it there and it was only 5k and I was sooo wrecked... has made me really worried about the mini marathon... ok rant over... sorry.

Ramette

dont panic Monife
on the day there will be such a good atmosphere it will help you go that little bit further... i always manage to walk/jog more than i thought on the day just think of the donnybrook firemen and their hoses!!! that always gets me walking faster

kildareash

Good luck ladies with ur 8 and 10ks today...hope the weather holds for ye

Just finished dinner and I had the yellow fin sole which bubaloo and lady lainy recommended. I dont think I'm ever going to be ordering it in a restaurant, but it was grand and made a change from chicken!

Off now to watch Kildare and Wicklow, up the lillies!

lorimc

Thanks everyone for the messages of support! The run was okish, I was hoping to get under an hour but I finished it in about 1.00.50 (dont have the official time yet). Over half of the run went through Carton golf course and this morning some of it was not very pleasant, the rain and wind just belting on you in the very exposed areas and pushing you right back down some of the hills so if the weather was better I could have done it.

On a gross/embarrassing note I really tried for the last few hundred metres and ending up getting a little sick in the grass just after crossing the line, my friend assures me that nobody saw it and hopefully Kildare TV (that were filming people crossing) don't have anything on me!!

Guys there is a WW supplement in the Sunday World today if anyone is interested.

The girl in it looks amazing, and my leader is the one that had the guy.

lorimc

Oh made the brown bread last night and its yum! Thanks Caros
