Have had an extremely carb heavy day, but also had so much fun spending time in the kitchen baking!
Made bagels, bread rolls for dinner, cheese n herb muffins and chai latte syrup!!!

It's great to hear you happy and positive bettyB. And I think your new year plan not to diet is a great one. It seems often some of your foodie treats are tied up with having a nice time with your OH and it seems a pity to take the edge off that. Here's to lots of exercise for you in the New Year.

Mazza - I have PM'ed you:D

Beanie - not suprised you feel hacked off: so much relentless snow is so extra wearing when you have mobilty problems:(.

İ had an xmas blow out yesterday--and this is muslim Turkey! a couple of parents took my wife and İ out for breakfast and dinner--i was so bloated by the 4th course of fish at the restaurant i could have died!! i felt physically ill and couldnt even accept a licquer or coffee--there were 6 courses of fish in total!--i got home and just laid down --i woke up a few hours later and i was cured but it was touch and go for a while!!!--i limit my calorie intake everyday despite not actively dieting and this was a big shock to my system!---it has taught me that i now have a limit whereas before i could eat anything that was put in front of me!

thanks BB - you're right about OH and I enjoying foodie treats together, but I do think that a major task for us in 2011 is to cut down on that habit - neither of us need as many 'treats' as we have at the mo.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of getting on my scales and ruining my good mood - this is officially the heaviest I've ever been at Xmas (and this is before xmas!) But I am going to stay positive and try to be sensible - otherwise my eating will get out of control with my emotions.
Might have to step away from the bread machine and onto the stepping machine for a while tho!!

Yeah, plus I always find that the more I exercise the better I feel, therefore the less I feel the need to binge on cr*p food.

I really hope the weather warms up quickly. Jumping about the living room to Davina is ok but I've a feeling the novelty is very short-lived and it can't really compete with my old routine of cycling to the gym, treadmill, swim and cycle home - that was hardcore!!

Morning gang,

I know that the cold weather is meant to help us burn more calories, but in all honesty, I'd rather go out for a walk to burn them, than freeze.

It's keeping us very close to home, which is a bit of a bummer, because we were meant to be visiting family near London, but have had to cancel that.... I'd rather we were safe than sorry. I seem to have just stayed in the warm kitchen and baked for several days, which I find actually puts me off eating, if I'm surrounded by food all the time.

BF and I are going to venture out in a short while to go to Lidl to get our veggies & fruit for christmas. I want to get a couple of stocking fillers for my youngest two, as I'm doing them a Christmas Eve hamper with goodies to get snuggled down with in front of a festive DVD before bedtime.

I'm worried I'll forget to post my results tomorrow, if I get busy, so I'm going to put the scores on the doors a day early for me. SW party last night, and last weigh in before Christmas. I was really worried that 2 meals out last week would have had a bad impact (as well as some nibbles of biscotti over the w/end), so I was delighted to get a -3.5lb loss. My BF just shook his head and said, I dunno how it works that diet of your's, but it's obvious it does work. He's not wrong, I can't fathom it, because I'm never hungry, which seems to have switched me off from thinking constantly about food, but it is amazing.

What?:eek: I take them, does that mean I am due to pop off soon? Why are they allowed to sell them if they shorten your life?:eek:
