    Morning everyone.

    Well I am fighting fit once more - went to the gymn last night for the first time in a couple of weeks. It went ok - and leg only a little bit achey. HAd to keep it covered though - even though I know its healing nicely - it looks like I have a flesh eating disease! (I don't! Its the aftermath of a NASTY allergic reaction)

    So today, fully back on the plan. Weighed myself last night - I put on 2 lbs over the holiday/rest when home - which is what I lost before I went - so all in all pleased with that.
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

    Well done to this weeks losers.

    Just a half pound off for me this week, but still reasonably happy. Though not enough to celebrate with too much food last night!

    That Banoffepie sounds nice. I have such a sweet tooth, I wish I'd grow out of it!

    Glad to hear you are improving Rupe, only 2lbs on is not much for a holiday and an enforced rest, at my class someone had put on 8.5lbs from her hols, :eek: I think I'd have cried but she didn't seem to mind too much.

    Good luck bramalfie for later in the week (although I'm not sure I'd like a Monday weigh-in, I'm not very strict with myself at the weekend, I reckon I can have 3 good days to cancel out the bad:D)

    I have been using distraction therapy like when you give up the fags, when I want chololate or crisps I get up and do a job, seems to work most of the time.

    Had a good couple of days and managed to get out for a walk today............tonight I am out with the girls and will be drinking JD and diet coke, I have saved my syns and we have made a pact to walk past the chippy on the way home;)

    I have planned ahead and saved a HEa & B so I can have either cheese on toast or 2 weetabix and milk when I get in and I am ravenous.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Good planning there Lou
    I am currently making roast pepper and tomato sauce to go on some pasta, bet no-one else will eat it...and im having a glass of rose :) Am soooo craving naughty stuff today and I know I should allow myself these things (I have been and probably too much cake over the last 2 days so now need to be super good)

    Have a good evening out
