  • This week has been a real struggle for me.... I am on garden leave until the end of the month, then I will officially be redundant, and I am sooooooo bored! I miss going to work!
    I have found myself eating rubbish through boredom.
    I have been to the gym a few times but cant even drag my backside there, and was going 4 times a week until recently!

    I have lost a pound and a half, dunno how though! So I'm glad about that!!
    Need to find some motivation from somewhere!

    well done mum of girls thats almost a block of stork!

    coco hope the family feel better soon, and look after yourself.

    Today going to be hard im batch baking for the kids pack up/weekend.
    Its -5 here at the moment and the temptation just to snuggle up on the sofa with a cuppa tea and a packet of biscuits is very appealing... so im going to wrap up me and the dog and head out for an early walk....Its offical ive lost the plot, someone talk me out of it :)

    food today, is porridge for breckie, beans on toast for lunch, tea more than likely a low fat colly& veg cheese.

    well everyone have a great (good) day best of luck for your weigh in Alexnikov

    Well done to all of you who have lost. If I'm good I WILL be amongst you next week. My next weigh in will be thursday so I have time to turn things around.

    Well done everyone with your losses. I can't wait until Tuesday to do mine. My dance mat should come in the next few days so I can exercise too!

    I've stocked up with veg and low fat cheese spread and have nearly munched my way through a whole jar of gherkins already.

    Breakfast - Porridge with SS milk
    Lunch - 1 slice grainy brown toast with low fat cheese spread mixed with tomato salsa and topped with mixed peppers and spring onion.

    So far have had 1 cup of coffee and 2 cups of tea, now going to switch to green tea for the rest of the day. Avoided all biscuits at the mum's group this morning and told the others I was dieting so its official now - I have to do it!

    Will probably have lamb chops with veg for dinner and some celery to snack on later.

    Hope I can resist comfort food today as it's soo cold and snowy, I'd love stew and dumplings...
