    good afternoon, thought i'd better post before i go royally off the rails :o
    its my usual story of the weekend. yeasterday wasnt good and todays no better. the only plus point is that i am still of sweet stuff for lent, the way i have been for the past 2 days i would have eaten loads of chocolate on top if i hadnt given it up.
    am a bit woried about next week as i have lunches out mon, tues and friday (its with work) thats where the will power falls down.

    today is/was
    breakfast, 2 x wm toast
    lunch: far too much veggie pizza and a handful of doritos
    dinner, roast duck with yorkies, pots, cabbage, broccoli and carrots
    snack, muller light

    i have to get the motivation back, its amazing how after only 1 or 2 days of eating badly it can go.

    hope you are all having a good weekend,
    - prior planning prevents poor performance!

Haven't weighed for about 3 weeks so am going to go for first Friday of month, so next Friday is it....good luck with your goal, will be cheering you all the way

    Afternoon all! Typing on a shiny new curvy keyboard...look out for lots of typo's...

    Welcome Prudent!
    Jane - Good luck with the March challenge and glad to hear your daughter is ok, but also hope she decides to get it checked out again. I'm up for a challenge but not sure what would be a realistic target for me unfortunately!
    spugzbunny - glad you're having fun! I usually do half an hour workouts or if I'm lazy, 2 sessions of 15 minutes :p

    Been shopping today and as well as this fancy keyboard my boyfriend treated me to some hand weights, romance is not dead :p A little prize for managing to get some weight off over the past two weeks, should aid me nicely in my MyFitness workouts. If I manage to lose another 3-4lbs over the next two weeks I get the next installment in my new fitness equipment collection, a stability ball, lol :o It's almost as if I'm being bribed :rolleyes: But I think it's better this way than me saying "I've lost weight, I'll reward myself with cake!"

    Food today has been good for a weekend, apart from that slice of nut and seed cake I had yesterday :o Today has been:

    Breakfast - Muesli with Soya Milk
    Lunch - WM Deli roll with cheese and salad
    Dinner - Huge baked potato with baked beans and salad
    No snacks yet as I've been too busy! Will go and have a piece of fruit just now though.

    Off for now, that's enough practice on this wacky keyboard, hope everyone has had a nice weekend :j

    Marie just jump on the wagon - we CAN do this!!!!
    when you go out try and order with your head and not heart!!

    wyrd i think that's a great idea being treated by your bf to all those great 'toys' :T




    i am sad because i did weigh myself earlier (on the wii) and i am the same as 4 days ago - and i really thought i've been so good :confused: [sigh]
    oh well, i did 20min on the wii and 2 hours in the garden so that should help!


    Sunday:
    milky coffee
    cereals/milk
    leftover pot. gulash
    muller yoghurt
    tea
    squash
    chicken,peas,rice

    *Skulks back in hoping nobody will notice* :o

    Hi all,
    Had a shocking fortnight when I look back on things and can't really find a trigger for it happening. All I know is I feel dreadful, my skin is crappy and it has to stop NOW :eek:

    I have been eating puddings regularly, biscuits in work and eating anything for lunch that isn't soup and fruit.

    So here we go, after a lovely roast cooked by OH I am planning my meals for the week to try and get some variety in and make things a bit more interesting.

    B: 2 wholemeal toast with HM marmalade

    L/D: Roast chicken with sweet potato mash, cabbage, cauli, carrots and peas

    S: HM Welsh cake

    Hoping tomorrow will be easier but its TOTM soon so the cravings will be kicking in with full force. Better make sure I have plenty of fruit in work.

    Well done to all the losers and welcome to all the newbies, hope I can get some inspiration from you all
  • New day tomorrow, fresh start to the week, chin up (chins in my case!)

    Yes, me too - seemed to have lost my enthusiasm somewhat but will start tomrrow as day 1. Weigh in tomorrow morning and will go on from there.
    When life hands you lemons, ask for tequilla and salt and give me a call!!!
