Well ....finally today I went and get those damn M&M's. I caved. I have stayed under calories and ate 11 servings of fruit/veggies today, so that is good, but .... I did eat a bag of M&M's while there were strawberries in the fridge.
Oh no...Lisa just commented while I was writing this - about how great I was doing to resist these... I feel shame. :( Lisa - thank you for the reminder that I could do without!
Today's Victory was pretty special though! After a long day at the office (in early - no lunch break - this is our busy week), I convinced myself to do my weights workout before heading home. I literally said to myself, "Because you DO NOT want to do this, MEANS that you should"!!!
45min later and I was on my way home. Feels good. 10min elliptical warm up, 3 sets of 10 reps each arm Dumbbell snatches. 1x with 25lb weight, the last 2 with 20lbs weight.
Dinner was a lovely bit of leftovers and now I'm going to try and drink some more water, perv some blogs and get to bed early! Up to the office early tomorrow as well... this is the hell week.
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.
Tamzins Double Dog Dare You Ticker!
My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

Tuesday = Done
I am going to bed asap to read and relax.
Today I forgot my runners - so no gym. I'll get that done tomorrow.
Food was good. Obsessed over M&M's again. Ate strawberries instead. Great day for eating... bad day for moving...just can't get them both to click on the same schedule it seems... must.keep.trying....
Caved into the pop craving and had a diet Pepsi at dinner. Other than that... ate just under calories today. 8 servings of veggies today! Yum Yum!
Right. Off to bed now!

Another day bites the dust
Work today was... intensive! Large complex spreadsheets with me hunched over checking formulas on pages and pages ... my eyes are exhausted, so this will be short!
Get to bed bloggers!!!!!! I know I am headed there asap!
I ate well - had another giant salad for lunch! YUMMY!! I needed a break from the office so I hopped in my car and went to the Starbucks for a caffeine induces afternoon kick up the arse. I also got a vanilla scone.
I wanted a GREAT BIG HUGE SUGARY SCONE... what I got was.....
a single little "petite vanilla bean scone".
Good thing I didn't know what I was buying or I would have asked for three of the little buggers! In the end, it was a nice treat and the perfect size with my fat free latte. Not to mention a good lesson in the difference between "what I want" and what "what will actually satisfy me".
Got home and me and Mr.Tamzin went for a walk. Did about a mile and a half. Nothing too crazy, but it was nice out and good to get the legs going. Tomorrow... gym time!
Get to bed bloggers!!!!!! I know I am headed there asap!

The weekend of cheese
SATURDAY
Up at 5am to fly home aka "snack central" for a day, well more like 28 hours. Craziness.
1 power crunch protein bar
1 nasty bag of airplane snacks (I honestly couldn't tell you what they were)
3/4 12 grain bagel w/ cream cheese
1 apple & cheddar dutch pancake (pannekoeke) with 2T Stroop (molasses based syrup)
4 slices turkey bacon
coffee & cream x2
Then off to see my Granddad. My Granddad was put in convalescence and he isn't doing great. So I wanted to get to see him asap. He is an old tired out man who's had a great life, so I'm trying to not be too sad. I think he is in a lot of pain and won't be long for this world. It will be a relief in all honesty, and I hope that his last days are as good as they can be. But I know how much he doesn't want to be fed, bathed and changed and that's where he is at now.
15 triskets, 4oz cheddar cheese
1 small slices quiche
1 small bowl of borsht
4oz cheese
1 cup wheat thins
4oz chicken breast
2c chip mix (cheesies, doritos, pretzels)
I did do good and picked up all the fixings for BNS mac&Cheese (MORE EFFING CHEESE...really...give my head a shake. I had cheese at every meal). I did do well though - I have 1c serving with broccoli and carrots.
1C BNS Mac&Cheese
1c steamed broccoli & carrots
about 4oz of cheese eaten while cooking.
1 full fat root beer
1 c reg vanilla ice cream
1T chocolate sauce
4 pecans
I certainly didn't drink enough water, either day and I'm suffering right now because of it. I also burned my hand in the oven and I burned the roof of my mouth on my bfast this morning. ...I am not a happy bunny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUNDAY
Up at 6am to get the flight home and end up having airport food:
1 bacon quiche (yes...there was spinach, but I just had to have the bacon) *sigh*
Large Fruit cup (oranges, melon, pineapple, grapes! v.yum)
1 crispy crunch chocolate bar
1 coffee w/creamers
I was at the airport at my morning *time* and ended up having to poop in a stall with someone next to me... I hate that. Better then on the plane I guess.
Once home I had a run at 1pm today so I needed to get a little rest (short nap) and food.
2/4c whole oats
2T BP2
1 handful walnuts
2T honey
1 power crunch protein bar
Run: 7x 2min running and 1min walking. We did about 35min in total with out warm up and cool down walks. It was cold and I ran harder then I would have liked. I can feel it in my legs right now. But I was happy that I showed up and did the workout. I was thinking about not going, but I did.
After I went for groceries and made sure to get some more ziplock containers. The more lunches I make, the more the dirty ones sit in the sink...now there is plenty and shouldn't be any problem. One less excuse to use anyway. After groceries I went to the cheese shop... I really needed a slap today. I got some more Stilton and a very nice sheep milk cheese, Manchego. Yum!
3c mixed greens
1/2 green apple
10 green grapes
3oz Stilton
1 handful walnuts
3T red onion
1T xvoo & 1T balsamic vinegar
4 lite rye crackers
1tsp becel
1 pot activia yogurt
protein brownie
I have been in a state of discontent for the reminder of the evening... looking looking looking for something to eat. I have almost dialed for pizza 4 times. I ended up having a "protein brown". They are not the greatest (in either taste or calories)- but better then a real brownie and packed with proteins as they are some shake/bar thingy the husband found. Very yum, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I am in savory/carb mode. Bread bread bread MONSTER. Even now.
I don't know what I'm going to do right now. My mouth hurts, but my stomach is growling. I feel exhausted... thank gawd there is no crap food in the house. I need to get to bed ASAP. I'm also terrified of what the scales are going to show tomorrow morning.
Also...in my laundry list of crap things this week. I had my old fillings replaces and they are still sensitive to hot and cold and to the touch. *CRY* Let this weekend be over.
EDIT::
just ate....
1/2c 1% cottage CHEESE
2 dill pickles

Bfast:
2c almond milk
2T protien powder
1/3c 1% cottage cheese
2 coffee with cream
1 blueberry scone
Today is office treat day and there are cinnamon buns dripping with icing.
I'm NOT going to have any
So instead - I had a scone from the coffee shop... honestly... I don't think that there is much difference calorically between the two. Regardless... I've not had any water this morning (surprise surprise that I'm "hungry") and I'm jonesing for a treat.
I have my coffee, I'm going to the gym at lunch today, and I'm about to get some water so I can drink this beast into submission then get some less sugar filled foods in me to level out the spike I'm on.
Day is getting better.....
Snack1:
1 lemon pepper 85g tin of tuna
2 hearty rye crackers
Lunch:
1 ham&swiss on rye sammich (mustard, lettuce, ham, swiss, sprouts, tomato, cucumber)
1.5c mixed fruit
(Hidden in bottom drawer bought with my sandwich.... 1 sm packet of salt and vinegar chips...okay... now that I've told, I'm going to throw them away...f*ck...that was easier then I thought...)
Snack2:
2 hearty rye crackers
1tsp butter
Snack3:
1c V8 fruit juice
Dinner:
Sushi Dinner (mixed rolls and sashimi, and a few tempura veggies), green tea.
Exercise:
Walked to work 1km
Gym at lunch - 35min on treadmill. walked warm up and running at 3.6 (did a 4min stint at 4.0)
Post work - 468stairs, walk to sushi restaurant 1.5km

An ode to cravings
A Haiku....because I can! so there!
Ahh, a bit of Friday night fun.... yeeehaaw! Actually today turned out a lot better food wise then I thought that it might. All afternoon I was lusting after more chocolate flavored coffee and whip cream... I didn't get one. YES!! I went and ate a yogurt.
However, I've not been eating enough fruits and veggies. I've been eating the kashi granola bars etc... which I realize are not "bad" for you, but its not like eating an orange is it. NO.... Tamzin... its NOT.
This weekend I have lots of activities planned, tomorrow I'm going to try and get in a 7.5km walk. If I'm feeling brave AND wearing a supportive (we are talking about buttresses here) sports bra, then I might considered trying to do a run 5 walk 10 kind of arrangement. We shall see!
Non-scale victory.... which I'm sure some of you will relate to. I put on a pair of stretchy yoga type pants after work and they fit better (by better I mean not cutting off the circulation from my upper half to the lower half!). They were an XL from Costco. So at maximum stretch, yet comfy that's about a 1XL I think. And had significantly less (( TMI ALERT )) camel toe then I've had in the resent past.
yep...I'm thinking there is a great place to finish this post. That was a treat from me to the people that read all the way through! teehee!
Sugar, you devil
you torment me with the sweet.
I hate you so much!
