that will be my breakfast in 15 sleeps.......once i am on holidays i can have what i want

Well, I had a chocolate shake and 2 pieces of raisin toast with butter at maccas on the way to the gym this morning (no bread at home and I refuse to eat the only cereal left in the house that belongs to the kids - Nutrigrain and Cheerios )

Did some light weights and 45 mins on the treadmill - I've only realised there's a 'fat burning' option on the pre-set thingy! Stopped at Coles for some milk and frozen spinach and a roast chicken plus some lamb chops for dinner. The chicken's for quesadillas for lunches tomorrow. Will have bananas and soda water for lunch before going to a school event for DD where I'll be eating a chocolate cake I made to share (only 57g of chocolate in it and I'm worried it won't taste nice).

Should be cleaning this mess of a house instead of being on my butt at the laptop , best haul my weary legs up before I really lose the cleaning motivation (when all I really want to do is be a slob on the couch reading New Idea).

At least I'm smelling nicely of Christmas anti-bac gel from Bath and Body Works - love their stuff. Icky sniffy gym members

come and clean my bathrooms as well

my new cunning plan

after the gym each night i am getting a 6inch sub from subway (vegi delight) to have for dinner...240 cals (no cheese, extra halepenos)..DH will have one to, so that $7 a night for 12 nights dinners......cheaper than steak.

If i cant lose these last 2.2kg's this way i think I will amputate a limb

I will be 69.9kg when I board that damn plane ..

I'm looking into "amputations at home for dummies" just in case

Like the sub idea

Didn't get much done in the cleaning stakes. Got sidetracked with an episode of Ellen - sitting at the kitchen table with my feet up and eating an apple!

Bad food weekend

For breakfast yesterday I started off ok, bacon and eggs.
Then morning tea at work I had a chocolate croissant , washed down with a diet coke, so it's fine...right?
Then lunch I had a sausage in bread with a chocolate eclair chaser, also washed down with a diet coke.
Then taco's for dinner, followed by half a SaraLee chocolate pudding with ice cream, washed down with a bourbon and diet coke or 3.

The today we went out and had a greek lunch, saganaki, picked octopus, calamari and then main lunch was a mixed souvlaki



Tomorrow is a new day

Haven't been here for a while but glad to see that all are still going strong and trying their hardest to be good.
I on the other hand have fallen off the wagon and it has collided with a Mac truck!!!

I somehow have put on 3 kgs over the last 3 weeks and am the heaviest I have been in the last 2 years. I don't know why. The only thing that has changed is my meds, so it could have something to do with that. I do feel so bloated all the time too, just yuck.

I had the grand plan to be a certain weight before we went and I have absolutely no chance of getting even close. I am around 9kgs heavier than our last trip 2 years ago and the plane seat was uncomfortable then so I hate to think what it will be like now.

So, apart from starving myself or living on soup for the next seven weeks, I am at a loss I just don't want it to tarnish our trip.

I can't help having Lupus and it will never go away, but some days I could just scream.

Sorry for the ramblings................ and thanks for listening!!!
