Holiday countdown – 12 days to go

The day started well yesterday in terms of sticking to my pre holiday diet/exercise plan…. and went downhill! Brekkie was quorn sausage (2 syns), egg & mushroom sandwich (heB) with a cuppa (heA). Lunch was a banana & rocky road hifi (i just was not hungry after a fairly filling and somewhat late brekkie). I had planned on having a green day. However the hubby got home from work and we decided to go to Meadowhall (which of course I knew ment Nandos πŸ™‚ ) SO rather that think negatively about the day I decided to switch from a green day to E/E as it fitted in with what I had already eaten (I switched the hifi from the additional HeB to 3 syns). At Nandos I had butterfly chicken (3 1/2 syns) with the skin removed, spicy rice (2 1/2) syns, corn on the cob and side salad. SO far this ment I had 11 syns for the day.

However the downfall began when the hubby suggested going to the pub quiz. I intended on sticking to diet coke. Lesson learnt…I have the inability to go to a pub and not drink lol…..6 vodkas (25mls) & diet coke later I added 15 syns making my syn total for the day 26. Hopefully it will not impact too much. Since I have been doing SW thankfully vodka (an Jagermeister for that matter) as not really impacted on my losses. The only time alcohol does is when I hit the sugary cocktails on a real bender. I just hope this is not the week that my body decided vodka is no good and piles on the lbs!

I managed to fit in the body magic yesterday too so so far I have done it everyday since Monday. Yesterday i did 40 minutes on Wii Zumba, 100 squats and 100 waist twists (plus a 2 hour shopping trip around Meadowhall if that counts hehe)

It was definitely a productive shopping trip. I did intend on buying just a few holidays things (like that was ever going to happen!) I think this is where the trend becomes apparant….I HAVE NO WILL POWER!!! πŸ™‚ especially with nice clothes shops now I go shop in them. Who knows maybe the attraction of all these clothes shops will wear off? Nah, I can’t see that happening either. I also blame the sales πŸ™‚ So many beautiful purchases this week. First stop was Zara (2 pairs of jeans and a denim jacket), New look (blazer), Quiz (peace sign vest top), accessorize (hat)oh and I also picked up some accessories (belts, earrings). This adds to my purchases from Mondays trip of; Jane Norman (black slinky maxi dress – it’s so nice!), black playsuit & denim shorts, Primark (ripped denim shorts) and New look (skull print shirt). I did go hunting for a Cambridge satchel too. I was not impressed that I could not find anywhere in Meadowhall that stocks bags by the Cambridge Satchel Company in pink. Ok so Urban Outfitters had them in green but that does not count as they where not pink πŸ˜‰

Anyway back to the holiday countdown plan. Today is 12 days to go. Brekkie was 2 weetabix (heB) with milk (HeA) and a banana. As soon as I get off the computer from typing this I’m off Β to work on the body magic.
