Day 5 of the holiday diet!

Woo a new excuse not to stick to the diet.... it's valentines day!!!

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on a piece of tiny seeded toast!

Dinner: small brown bun with some topside beef slices, rocket and mustard. I also had a handful of cherry tomatoes!

Tea: just looking through Chinese takeaway menus and I also have a bottle of pink fizz in the fridge! Tee hee


So....... Singapore noodles surely are not classed as diet food!

Day 4 of the holiday dieting

Is it me or are the scales creeping up today?? Whoops, well I'm not surprised with all of that vodka!! More excuses today..... I woke up and the boiler had gone on the blink so I messed about with it for half an hour instead of making breakfast. So, for breakfast I had a low fat yogurt. Then for dinner I had the pasta I made yesterday.

Tea was prawn stir fry with weird wiggly drum wheat noodles (about 40g). I made it with ginger, chilli, some low salt soy sauce and a little dash of oyster sauce.

Im gonna have a nice cuppa tea and think about doing some leg lifts or something in the freezing cold cos I have no heating!!

Eeeeeeeek 2 cups of tea later (with skimmed milk) And I could really scoff a big mac!!!!!

Not doing very well at this diet- day 3

Oh dear, so last night after the vodka I also had a chicken wrap!!!! Whoops no mayo or anything, just chicken, cabbage and chilli sauce! This may be why you shouldn't have alcohol when dieting!

Breakfast: lots and lots of warm water with a slice of lemon. I'm telling myself that this will fix the hangover. I have woken up to an old 31 year old dehydrated face. I've smothered it in ponds cold cream then some body shop vitamin E cream in the hope that tomorrow I will be youthful again! I also ate a bacon sarnie made with bacon medallions and very tiny seeded bread! Oh and excessive amounts of tomato sauce!

Dinner: 50g pasta with tuna, mixed beans, celery, tomato, rocket and a squeeze of lemon, a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and chopped chilli. I've made double of this and I'll take some for my packed lunch tomorrow.

Tea was pork steak with some mashed sweet potato and green things!!

Food diary day 2

Picked the wrong time to begin a diet diary... I did start the day with some leg lifts and 8 feeble girlie push ups! I hate to do anything that could be considered exercise but today I can feel that yesterday's leg lifts may have worked.... There may be an ab in there somewhere.

For breakfast I had boiled eggs and soldiers made with seeded bread- one slice no spread. Coffee with skimmed milk.

For my dinner I ate 5 chicken wings..,. This is bad; whoops. I also had a small brown bun with ham and peas pudding.
I've just been for my weekly shop, no crisps so I'll surely be dreaming of prawn cocktail flavour soon.

Tea: roast chicken breast with onions and chillies, 100g of 'good for you' oven chips...… ok so this doesn't sound like a diet- it also gets worse!!

Since it was the weekend I went out, had 2 beers followed by too many vodka diet cokes¡!

Holiday diet time day 1

So, the time has come to start the holiday diet. I plan on keeping a diet diary to see if it works and also to stop myself from eating naughty things.... I'm only 5'2" ish and I don't have a set weight goal, I just want to feel comfortable wearing a bikini in public! I've weighed myself on my manky old scales, I should really buy new ones but I'm too scared to find out that my old scales have been telling me lies for the past few years.

Today's breakfast was one slice of seeded toast with scrambled eggs. I used 1 whole egg, 1 egg white and a dash of skimmed milk.
I've also had 2 cups of coffee, again with skimmed milk.

Lunch: tuna salad with 100g of new potatoes and low fat balsamic dressing. Plus some 64cal crisps- we all need treats to keep going!

Ooops picked the wrong day to start a diet blog!! For tea I had spag Bol..... But from this diet recipe:
http://www.itv.com/lorraine/lifestyle/real-bikini-diet/real-bikini-diet-recipes/food-at-a-glance/

It was delicious! BUT I also had a glass of wine and a can of beer........ But it is Friday!

I also attempted some leg lifts and managed 5 feeble girlie push-ups...... Then lay on the floor for a while!

New yeah!

It's a new year, Jan has passed without any hiccups. It's time to made a new 'to do' list, so here goes:
Finish my degree
get a proper job/ set up a business
do fun things
revert back to diet for holidays

Thats it!

31 got me

So, another birthday, another year older- 31 it is then. 31 feels worse than 30............ it's all going down hill. Spent my birthday with some lovely friends on a trip to Edinburgh, had a warm cherry beer at the Christmas markets.. YUM!

I've spent the last year doing a bit of this and a bit of that, a full-time part-timer and it isn't really worth it. I don't have the time or the energy to be everywhere, doing everything all at once. I need to focus on the last 6 months of my degree, I'm not sure what comes after that. I should really have a plan but I don't.

I should really decide what I want to be when I grow up.
