    Yesterday went well – had my salad for lunch with a fat free yoghurt afterwards. Got home and then went swimming for 30 minutes before doing a 30 minute Intense Aquafit class. Then went home and had jacket potato with Tuna in extra light mayo and a salad.

    Today I’ve bought in tuna salad for lunch and melon and cherries to snack on during the day. Going to make a stir fry tonight possibly turkey or chicken depending on what takes my fancy later but with plenty of vegetables in it.

    Am aiming to go to the gym after work even if it’s only for a little while. Was going to go for a walk but it’s chucking it down with rain so not sure how likely that is going to be now.

    Only thing was I still forgot to weigh myself this morning! I overslept and it was all a bit of a mad dash so it slipped my mind. Will do it first thing tomorrow though I very much doubt I will be brave enough to share my weight on here.

    Had a good day meeting a friend in Cambridge today - lots of walking around (well for me on my crutches!) and a Wagamama veggie lunch (NOM), trousers feel looser so hopefully provided I don't go beserk over the week away I should be fine!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

  • Tonsils much better today thanks tara!!. Not going to weigh myself this week as i think it will be false (not been well=good weight loss=gain next week). So i will weigh myself on monday.

    Well done on all the weight losses!!!

    Evening all xxx

    Couldn't get on last night for some reason. Well done those who lost or sts at WI this week, and for anyone who gained...this is a new week! :D

    Tara - we have a young couple living next door who think its acceptable to blast music at lovely antisocial times of the day, 2am sometimes and can't understand why neighbours on both side are asking them to shut up. There's only so many times you can knock on someone's door and ask them nicely to turn it down before it gets nasty. Grrrr.

    Heth - hi and welcome. I'm also struggling to shed the lbs that I've stacked on after giving up the ciggies, almost 1 year for me now. Well done on your weight loss so far, long may it continue!

    We're inheriting some new scales tomorrow which I'm quite excited about (I really need to get out more :rotfl:) Ones which tell you body fat and muscle mass and way too much info that you will never need - so I can see if I'm gaining muscle or not.

    Food shopping tomorrow so I'm gonna look out for those meringue nests yummm. I've got some strawberries which are about to go off so am sure I can do something with those and some yoghurt.
    All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person... :D:p

    Hurrah! My first under-points + healthy day in a good couple of weeks. :T

    I've kind of fallen off the wagon and really struggling to re-motivate myself... while I've not been incredibly bad this week I've definitely been a few points over each day, generally too much snacking, craving pasta/bread etc.

    I've just had a session on amazon as joint retail therapy and motivation :rotfl: ( this , this & this ). The vegan cookery book to try and get some new recipe ideas that aren't winter-y (stew etc) and aren't crammed with cheese / fake meat, and two books to try and work on my 'headspace' a little. All but £3 paid for with a gift certificate so guilt-free indulgence.

    Anyway ... better day today. Loads of fruit, veg & yoghurt - just had a whoopsied-strawbs-and-banana smoothie and some asparagus for my night time snack - better than the usual junk!


    Dragon - walking on crutches is so hard I think it burns at least 10x as many cals ;) or if not it should be LOL.


    Determined to get back on with the diet! Someone give me a kick up the bum!

    Evening all!

    lightisfading - congrats on the 66p cuisine, sounds tasty too! :beer: Well done on being under your points limit as well xo

    alared - good luck with the WI, I'm sure you'll have lost if your clothes feel looser!

    Dragon - I love Wagamama, wish we had one here, yum yum. I agree about walking on crutches, it is v. tiring so bound to burn lots of cals!

    sharron - glad you're better, and well done on the restraint - I'd be weighing myself even if I knew it was fake weight loss! :rotfl:

    coffeeholic - you poor thing! We've had noisy neighbours and it is just awful. What about phoning the council? They have powers in that area (not exactly sure what but you could ask). Definitely get the meringues, they are fab!! Well done on kicking the habit and good luck with your scales (you are not sad at all btw!).

    I've been a bit bad today, I had a packet of Minstrels and a Fudge as well as all my meals - and dinner was OH's famous spag bol which was lovely but quite calorific!!! I have given up calorie counting as can't work them all out (esp when someone else is cooking). I only managed 15 flights of stairs at work but got 2 hours' walking in so redeemed myself somewhat. I am dreading WI tomorrow. :o
