Happy Birthday for Saturday Dragon:bdaycake: - remember to have some cake too.

Went to the pub for lunch today, the first pub has started charging for parking so we went somewhere else. Had 4 sausages, mash, onion, beer gravy, carrots and cabbage (I hate white cabbage:rolleyes: ) I ate most of it leaving just a little bit of mashed potato. No pudding either.

Will have a sandwich or even a toastie for tea. I am certainly thinner around the waist because my nice M&S cords have started to slide down:eek: and there is definitely more room around the waist than there used to be:j

Afternoon peeps,
I'm working most of the weekend - boo hiss
Had a lovely lunch today - even more so as it was free:D, didnt make the best choice on the menu unfortunately but i enjoyed it all the same. More than made up for it tho with all the walking and exercise i've done today.
Weigh in day for me tomoro - not looking forward to it v much, i'm really bloated at the moment, so much that my jeans feel more snug than usual on my waist.

Today....
B - cereal (180cals)
L - pub lunch (780cals)
T - pizza (350)
S - mousse(110cals)
Ex - 12500+steps, davina dvd, yoga on wii fit plus 20min jog;)

Oooohhhh - Happy Birthday Dragon (when it comes!!)

Well done to all the loosers - and maintainers too! Just finished reading the thread from start to finish - and man, I can't remember half of what I wanted to say!

Gems - was it you who did the celebrity slim? How have you found it? Have you had any decent results from it? I've seen the Diet Chef thing advertised quite a bit today - it I had a bit more spare cash i'd be tempted to give it a go! But I'll just need to stick to the old fashioned route for now!!

haven't even really started back on the plan today, didn't get home from hols 'til really late last night, and we've little food in so just had to make do with what was there!

So, today so far:

B: 2 white rolls, with butter and 3 slices of grilled bacon and 1/2 pint of Milk
L: 1 Slice white toast, with Flora extra light and 1/2 tin of beans - with peppermint tea

And surprisingly, I'm not actually hungry at all - the thought of eating is actually making me feel a bit ill! So maybes that'll be me for the day!

Exercise-wise - it's been non-existent today! i'd had a half baked notion of going to an exercise class, but I'm really tired and not feeling too hot - so I think I'll use tomorrow to start from scratch properly - and get back to the gym then!

I'm off to the supermarket shortly to stock up on loads of nice healthy food, and as well as loosely following the slimming world plan, I've decided I'm going to cut out diet fizzy juice and Milk from my diet for a week or 2 and see if that has any effect - and I'll replace it with water and fresh lemon, and peppermint tea (which I'm newly converted to!! ).

As for the weekend - Tomorrow will be a quiet one, I start a new second job on Saturday, so I'll need an early night for that! Then Saturday, I'll be working during the day obviously, and am going out for dinner with my boyf at night (La Tasca, using Tesco vouchers - so very MSE even if not that healthy! ) - then I'm going to the pub to wave farewell to a friend who's off to work in Switzerland!! Then working again on Sunday!

I've started to do some arm exercises! Dr Dragon has been doing some clearing (we had 2 months to find a house and move about 18 months ago and we are still finding stuff!), so we got the hand dumb bells out (7 pounds each) and did 5 reps of 4 different arm exercises at lunch and just now and my upper arms HURT! I thought my upper arm strength was quite good - but noooooo!

Dragon, well done on the arm exercises and happy birthday for the weekend!!!

Leothecat, I'm not going to do the run - I haven't trained enough yet. But I will be thinking of you, good luck xo

I am so annoyed about not getting to the gym, bah to my boss. I have actually pencilled in a meeting for myself tomorrow over lunch but it is really the gym! I did 34 flights of stairs today though so I don't feel too bad.

Sorry, I meant to say lots of encouraging stuff to everyone but I have forgotten it all! I'll try to be more awake tomorrow. Good evening all xo

Thanks Tara! I hope to gradually build up and get used to it before Dr Dragon is back at work - oh and I plan to enjoy Saturday and not bother too much about the diet (indeed Dr Dragon hopes I may actually get over 2,000 calories which would be good )

Hi all, I'm looking forward to my weigh in 2moro, just hope i like the result!
Not had to bad a day food wise, but did eat some of my little ones wotsit's - well half a packet if i'm truthful LOL!! - they're not full of calories but felt naughty, but i did enjoy them! Oh well a little bit of what you fancy does you good - so they say!!

Happy birthday for saturday Dragon, whatever you eat -just enjoy it!!! xx

Hi everyone, I haven't been hiding out, just insanely busy at work. Even so I managed to get to the gym yesterday and today and should make it tomorrow (and it was snowing this morning so giving myself a big pat on the back )

Alas the bad news is that I have been eating like there is no tomorrow. A lot of it reasonably healthy food but the quantities have been waay over. We've had corporate lunch type things all week and I've ended up picking and picking at the food. Although I've had salad for dinner 3 nights as a result cos I wasn't too hungry.

Oh and ice cream last night brought by my dear FIL who knows exactly the type I like :rolleyes:

As a result I maintained this week but I know that this was a particularly crazy week and certainly the next 2 are shaping up better so fingers crossed for a loss next week.

Sounds like you've all been busy too, well done!

Sadly, the belgian chocs were too much of a temptation and Ive had 4 today Rest of day, only a salad this evening and two youghurts plus coffee and 2 biscuits an hour ago Oh and muesli for breakfast.
