Quick...really quick catch up

Happy Monday People ;~)

Last week I had a few silent days so I need to do a quick catchup.

Wednesday:

The other day, as Denmark won a football match, my Danish friend brought a meal at work (remember what we're doing at work)...It was really nice. I cant remember how it's actually called but it's basically a potato salad and meatballs.

Thursday:

Boyfriend got me a little present: A recipe book...I loooove cook books. Ive got tons of them. I dont especially make the recipes from them but I love reading them and see the pictures...is that weird ?!?

Anyways, here is a book ;-) Has someone got it?

Saturday:

On saturday, we went shopping as I wanted to find something to go to the photoshoot. Didnt find anything for it but still bought some stuff haha.

As we arrived there just at lunctime, we decided to start with lunch...and there, I had something for the 1st time...you're gonna find it even weirder...a Jacket Potato!!!!!!

I can hear you saying...What, has she never had that before? where does she come from?????

Well yeah, it's the truth, saturday was my 1st one.

So, my impression on it -> it was really filling. I had one with baked beans. I would have had enough with half of it. Next time i'll order the kids meal ;-)

Sorry, ive had to rush my catch up as im realising boyfriend will be back soon and I havent started the dinner ooooops :s

See you later!

Oh oh oh, I forgot something important about saturday...here, saturday = weigh in day and the result is I lost another pound...Yeah!!!! I know it's not a big deal but still :-)

Saturday = Weigh in day

I was planning to go to the gym this morning (to an aerobics class) but I must have been so tired from a busy week that I slept late...and it was really nice!
Boyfriend woke me up at 8am I think to tell me my 9bar had arrived. The other day, I orderer a selection box to try them out. Ive now got 5 bars to try. Which one is your favorite?


A few minutes later, I fell back asleep till about 9:30
As boyfriend was sleeping again, I stayed in bed and read some blogs on my laptop. Also, I didnt really want to get up as it was the weigh in day.
Eventhough I had a really good week, I felt like the scale wasnt gonna show it off...but I was wrong!!!! I lost 1lb1/2 YEAH!!!!! Im now just under 10 stone, which is 63.1kg Happy Me!
Im going home in 4 weeks and by then, I would like to be just under 60kg (9st6lb)...shouldnt be to difficult (well hopefully).

As I was quite happy after my weigh in, boyfriend decided to take me out for breakfast.
I wore my new sandals for the 1st time. You like them???


We had breakfast at Wetherspoon's. There, I had a Pain au Chocolat (just because it's new on their menu) and 2 pieces of toast and a coffee.


After breakfast, we went shopping and I went to Waitrose to grab some Munchy Seeds (I like snacking on them at work).


Then, we got back home and wanted to get ready to go to the gym but fell asleep :s Must have been really really tired. Tonight's dinner was bbq :~)


I had a piece of beef from our local butcher...oh man, it was so gooood. With that, I had a packet of crisps (the only one this week...not bad for someone who was addicted to crisps) and a big side salad (lettuce, carrot, onion, tomatoes).

Hope you're having a nice weekend!

I love Saturdays!

Today's been a really good day.

I woke up quite early...ok, really early (6:30) but stayed in bed and enjoyed it.

I got up at about 9 and went for my weekly wieigh in and the result is: Ive lost 2 pounds Yeah!

Im now dead on 10 stone. Im so pleased with myself.

Then, as I was well motivated, I made myself a fantastic breakfast: A bottle of Innocent smoothie and some pancakes, which were inspired by Laura. It was amazing!

The first layer is my red fruits sauce ; second layer is honey and on top, some more red sauce.

The sauce I made was: frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries and some pineapple juice.

After breakie, I wanted to go to an aerobics class but boyfriend decided to come with me to the gym and made me late for the class :s

I then had a general workout: Cross trainer: 5 mins warm up, 5 mins backwards and 15 mins intervals.

I also did a bit of weight training a bit of powerplate.

Couldnt do much as it was quite busy.

After that, I felt really good. I think Im gonna try to sqeeze in some early morning workouts next week.

After the gym, boyfriend took me to "Le Petit Cafe". It's a French cafe which was recommended by a lady from his French class. It was really nice. It was like an old fashion little place.

There, I had a Croque Monsieur

And a crepe for pudding. Sorry, no picture of the crepe as it was in my tummy before I thought about it ;-) It was acrepe with lemmon and honney. Was nice but still prefer the ones my Mummy makes!

Then we went to a fair in the same village and then went to the shops in town.

This evening, it's pizza and football. Ive got a small one with ham, tomatoes, mushroom and cheese.

BTW: Does anyone know where I can find some Agave Syrup?? Dont think Sainsburry's got it. Went to Tesco's and Asda but couldnt find it. Where abouts is it in the shop?

Thank You

Nice and relaxing weekend

I gave my blog a miss yesterday. The reason is I was actually quite busy reading some other people's blogs and found mine was really boring compare to the others.
I think I need to be more commited to it. After all, Im not doing it for other people but for myself.
I dont mind if anyone else read it. This blog is just a way for me to take a closer look at my Health & Fitness journey.

a Saturday:

So, what happened yesterday? It was my weigh in day. The result was so-so as I actually stayed the same as last week: 10.1.8 stone or 64.4 Kg.
Of course I would have loved to have lost a bit but if I look back at my week, I think it's ok. And at least, I didnt put any weight on!

Yesterday, my food was:
Breakfast: Coffee + whole milk + sweeteners ; 2 slices of my homemade bread (butter + nutella) ; yellow smoothie (frozen mangos, tinned pineapple, 2 fresh passion fruit ; orange juice)
Lunch: BBQ: 2 merguez + bread & ketchup ; chicken kebab & veggie brochette ; crisps
Dinner: Salad ; bread & butter ; natural yogurt + pineapple + honey

Looking at it, I ate quite a lot. At lunchtime, I felt full after the 2 merguez but still ate the chicken...not good. In French we've got the saying: "Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre" which translates to "To have the eyes bigger than the tummy"

I didnt go to the gym yesterday as I could hardly walk. My legs were still sore from Thursday BodyMax...crazy. I even still sore today. I looked up on the internet to find some ways to streche my thighs. I'll make sure I do it after my class on Thursday as Im fed up not being able to exercise or even walk properly for 3 days after it :@

a Sunday:

This morning, for breafast I had coffe + milk + sweetener and 2 pieces of baguette (butter & nutella)
Lunch was Greggs again: chicken tikka baguette and a cookie for pudding (it was my 1st one in months and months).
Tonight, we're having a BBQ: chicken kebab and maybe rice...not sure yet
Here are the pictures of my dinner: Chicken kebab + vegetables pilau rice (looks bigger on the plate than on the picture)

Pudding: Natural yogurt + strawberries + blueberries + honey
