  • Good morning, good morning!!

    How are ye all today? I'm sore all over - but in a very good way! :D I did a 15 mins abs class yesterday (well, I say class, there was only me showed up - so it was a 1-2-1 with the instructor - who proceeded to give me minute detail on an operation she was getting to stretch her Urethra?! :o :rolleyes: ), then did a 45 min Body Combat class - which was much harder than the last time I tried it! Foodwise, I did well - probably didn't actually eat quite enough, but there was no junk in there - and it's hard to squeeze everything in when you're working 13 hours (excuses, excuses I know! ;) ) - One of the girls in work was 18 yesterday - and I even resisted the Chocolate cake that was doing the rounds for her! :A

    I've signed up for "fat busting, boot camp" at my gym too, 2 hour long exercises classes a week, run by an ex-military guy who is now a personal trainer - I'm sure it's just another exercise class, but it's worth a shot! :D Plus makes me feel a bit "Desparate Housewives" ;)

    Anyways - enough about me for one day ****** Runs off to catch up on the thread ******

    Wow Tara that is amazing, I think the last time I weighed 9 stone 4lbs was pre-adolescence! I think all your hard work must have paid off :j


    Yesterday did not go so well. Can officially say that for me emotions and food just go hand in hand....had a bad day with my fifteen year old and yes my food intake goes all haywire:


    Breakfast : muesli, banana

    Lunch : fishfinger sandwiches, pear

    Yes it was all going so well....then:

    Dinner: lamb casserole and steamed veg.....pushed this away and replaced it with a large bowl of soya ice cream and freshly baked hot cake :o


    Thank goodness that today is another day!

    Loving the sound of the boot camp!! I've done some Billy Blanks TaeBo dvds and they nearly finshed me off, but you feel blooming great after!

    LilySue - I'm an emotional eater too, I hope you have a better day today :)

    I am definitely an emotional eater and the only way to combat it is not to have any of the crap in the house at all!
    I am not at all pleased report a 1lb gain this week. :mad:
    I am quite annoyed at myself but not overly so. I have done so little exercise and eaten so badly that I'm actually quite surprised that it is so little. I just hope that an extra gain does not sneak in next week.
    This week I shall be exercising loads and not eating junk! ;)

    Hi all.
    Having a better day today, foodwise. As the kids are off school I'm only working 2 days this week and next week - yay! So we have been out and about and I'm making them walk everywhere - much to their disgust!!! I have done loads of walking since Saturday and am very pleased with myself. We will see what happens when I get weighed tomorrow.
    Tara - well done on the weight loss, sticking to all that exercise is obviously starting to pay off.

    Lilysue - Me too with the emotional eating, it really gets you down! Are you from Norwich at all (avatar).

    Have a good rest of the day, let you know tomorrow if I'm happy or sad (weigh in)
    Taffy x
    Need to sort my life out! :T

    Sorry wasnt about last night smallpackages to distract you online. I had the similar problem. Knowing there was two easter eggs and a bar of galaxy in the cupboard was torture, but I stayed strong-ish and had a cup pf tea with a tsp sugar!! Probably not best idea but better than polishing off all that choc! Hope your day today is better.



    Did a body test of wii fit this morning and was pleased to see I've lost a lb and my BMI has gone into Ideal!! Hurrah!
    But then the disc stopped, it has a scratch on it!!
    AArrrrgggghhhh!!
    So going to see if Game will try and clean it for me, it has to work!! I saved so hard for my wii fit!

    Hope everyone has a good day today :)

    Middle of the road day for me yesterday...did read your post small packages, but was too tired to do a coherent reply, but sent hang in there vibes your way.

    Sooo yesterday: Breakfast muesli/soya milk. Lunch peanut butter sandwich. Dinner jacket potato and vegetable curry. Snack, coconut and almond muffin ( , I made some and could not resist trying them, so went for the limiting myself to one option )

    One of the things I have to work with is that I do a lot of cooking, and often make yummy stuff for the boys...resisting the urge to sample is hard!

    GC81 ~ enjoy your ideal BMI :T

    Taffy ~ Yes I live in Norwich, wonder how you guessed ? :D
