3rd June - Diet Diary

So today Russ & I went for a massive food shop as that time came where too many things needed replacing. Oh Tesco how expensive do you want to be? We normally shop in Aldi but Tesco have a much better rang of everything :( So £96.00 down we have a ridiculously healthy fridge.

So today for breakfast I had shredded wheat with a little bit of sugar -  calories

Mid day snack of prawn cocktail crisps - 130 calories. ( anyone else noticed they've made the packets tiny now? Probably to make it seem like they're full instead of completely empty like the old packs!)

Lunch time - I made a bacon vegetable salad (I hate regular salad bleugh!) I used spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and sprouts, with pancetta and a couple of new potatoes.  -  calories

Dinner - We will be having chicken breast, with sweet potato fries and baked beans! Mainly because I've already used my achieved my healthy 5 a day already and fancy being naughty.

Exercise-wise = I am taking the puppies for a walk each this afternoon so about 1 hour of walking and I'll be doing my 30 day shred routine again which burns around 130-140 calories.

My Fitness Pal tells me I only have to work out to burn 940 calories a week to lose 1 pound a week in combination with a healthier diet of 1200 calories or less.

My aim is to be slimmer by my 21st birthday & graduation!! :)

2nd June - Today is a new day!!

So I've been really depressed lately about my weight, I mentioned a few months ago that I hated how much weight I had put on but with all the university stress, I had no motivation or energy to do anything about it. So whilst I'm sat around applying for jobs, I'm going to start today!

I've done well so far, I woke up motivated, not just for exercise but in general. I suffer with depression clinically, and it often comes in waves so some days its just difficult waking up, let alone going for a jog. I'm doing a 5 day trial at the gym by me soon, I just have to buy ink for my printer to print it off! But today I'm getting the house all sorted and getting our life back on track as it all got ahead of me during the last wave. I'm going to be using my fitness pal to calculate my calories & i'm going to use my blog to keep a track of how I'm getting on! Because now my laptop is fixed I have no excuse :)


It's now 1.30pm - I've had breakfast and lunch!

Breakfast - I had an egg and two pieces of toast - 222 calories

Lunchtime - I had spagetti with a stilton and parmesan sauce (naughty) - 524 calories.


Dinner - I had breaded cod with broccoli, cauliflower, mange tout and baby sweetcorn.

I did have a late snack - naughty! I had low calorie ice-cream with some sprinkles!


I did my 30 day shred workout which I started today, and I did a tone-it-up arm workout! Feeling very good about myself :)

Irritated with ASOS!

Mini rant alert! I ordered my benefit moisturiser from ASOS last week, and since I've moved I added in my new address whilst placing the order and then checked out. What I was not aware of was that even though you select 'add new address for delivery' it doesn't automatically send to that address. So even though I've moved to a different city, my moisturiser was being delivered to my old address. So immediately in the morning when I realised I contacted the customer service team - who only operate on twitter, lots of conspiracy about how they don't like to speak to customers on the phone. Easier to stop speaking to a person online than hang up on someone on the phone..

Anywhoo, it had only been 12 hours since I placed the order, and my package was still being packed for delivery. 2 days later, it was despatched & I was told that they were not able to change the address. Even though the bloody package was in their possession for 2 days. Simply don't send it out. I asked to cancel the order, because at ASOS you pay straight away even before receiving the package. After a long winded and angry series of tweets, they said they would attempt to contact the individual courier.. of which I've heard nothing. They told me I would need to get in contact with the current occupants myself. Even though they apologised for the mistake their system had made, it's bloody ridiculous. My life is pretty much crap at the moment, and all I wanted was a new moisturiser to try & sort my skin out, and not even that can go right! Plus unhelpful customer service drives me crazy!!

Really need to sort themselves out - will definitely be driving to the nearest city to purchase my moisturiser from house of fraser instead of bothering to order with them again. Meant to be for convenience, and it's just caused massive stress. Now I have to go through the irritating process of contacting my bank and making them get my money back.
