studying munchies.......




Well I managed to avoid the studying munchies today.

I remember when I did my GCSE's I used to study in the garden.....I would study in the morning then walk to the shop as my folks had told me exercise and a break would stimulate my brain. I always walked my dog to local shop and picked up something nice as a treat for the afternoon study. Only now do I allow myself to recall how I used to pick up the large family packs of maltesers or revels and I would consume this in the afternoon every afternoon whilst I revised. Not only that but my mum and dad would feed melots of nice big wholesome meals usually with a pudding to help me cos I was studying so hard. :o)

Well I did taht throughout my GCSE's....oh yes and now I think of it our ice cream man came round every night and I used to be so impressed becuase he knew my sister and I by name.....now I think it was because we saw him every night.....ice cream treats or 10p mixes i was always there :o(. And then 2 years of studying for my A levels...and the invention of giant cadburys buttons.....OMG I can't imagine how many points I ate those days no wonder I was in a size 22 skirt from evans for my headmasters sherry party for leavers.....I was mortified :o(

Uni was a little better...it was teh first time I realised that most people had a snack type lunch and then a large meal at night rather than a big meal for both. I was on school dinners prior to that and it was chips with everything, and then home to a big meal at night. I am lucky as my family was the type of family that sat and ate tea together, and I am pleased about that, but wish I had had less as part of my school meal.

Well my MSc is here and another load of study but, despite the increase in pressure due to living alone and this time it actually counting for something and me actually paying for it , well this time I am being aware of my eating habits whilst studying.

Today I had a deadline and my fridge was stocked with no point jelly and low point snacks.....actually I did not need them as have gorged self on jar of baby beetroot....oh I will have pink pee tonight lol

maybe the ww habits are finally making sense lol

Oh, and I promised to post a pic of my mum as a beautiful bride, I have found a lovely one of my mum and dad caught off guard...they are such lovely people and I don't think that 40 years of marriage have changed them that much......that being said I need to think about dealing with the next weight loss hurdle which is their wedding anniversary dinner on saturday :o)

I am now 35, but I tend to act my shoe size rather than my real age...so that would be 6 then :o)




so yesterday was my 35th birthday.....

I ate particularly well, but did not point anything lol.

so lets try to back track and calculate the damage

woke had celebratory can of diet coke 0 points

got to work 2 sausages :o) = 5 points

big slice of homemade victoria sponge = 6.5 points

lunch bowl of chips 4 points and portion onion rings = 6 points

OMG

another slice of birthday cake approx 4 points

butterkist at cinema 3.5 points

maltesers 4 points

frankie and bennies sticky pasta 15 points

so grand total of 49 points OMG OMG OMG

well thats a line drawn under it


I got to my stone goal for my birthday and hope to wear lovely dress for parents wedding anniversary







this is on saturday so will try and get some pics.

I have set my next target. Another stone by 4th july.....this is because, its about the same time frame as last time, and keith and I are going to a wedding together on the 3rd so it works.......mmmmmm maybe another new dress oppurtunity lol.
