    Okay, so today is going okay :)

    b - two slices of granary bread with spread
    l - cheese sarnie, pom bears (97 cals), kitkat (107 cals)

    Dinner will be a slice of quiche with some salad and some watermelon

    Exercise:
    300 cals burnt off on the exercise bike (that's accounted for the pom bears and kitkat!)
    1 hr housework - including hovering - 180 cals burnt approx.

    Feeling much more positive :)

    Hi everyone, I didn't post yesterday cos I didn't lose any weight (OH lost 4lbs grrrrr) and I was in a bad mood!

    I was quite good over the weekend but I went out for 3 meals. One of the meals I was super good then not so much on the other 2. But there you go, new week and all that jazz.

    Going out AGAIN tonight to Beefeater so I've had a 3pp breakfast, a 3pp lunch which leaves enough points for 1 glass of wine (am driving anyway) and chicken tikka skewers for starters followed by paprika smoked chicken burger. I'm assuming the chips are included within the allowance??? I hope so anyway.

    Got lots of fruit to see me through the afternoon.

    Have had a quick read through your chat about veils and as I'm having one as well, I've realised it'll cover my backfat overhang! Was planning on whipping it off after I've eaten but it may stay on the whole night now!

    ah Jo your food sounds yum :) i love rich teas... hmm must get a pack. hehe

    you know we didnt even remember doing the notice thing at the registry and had the priest not mentioned it, we would have left it and not been able to get married. how close is it that we can get our documents on the day before our wedding? yikes!!!

    Chrissy, I know how you feel. I started dieting at the start of last year, and after a couple of weeks grumbling about the lack of 'nice things' in the fridge, my OH also got on the dieting bandwagon. Pretty soon, while I was busting a gut to lose 1 pound a week, he was steadily losing 2-4 (!!) Grrr...

    Problem was that I fell off the wagon after a stone and a half (almost all of it crept back on afterwards) while he lost five stone over the course of last year, and he's kept it off. So he's now a svelte, admittedly yummy, 'medium' and I'm back slogging away down from a size 20. *sigh* Still, I am very proud of him and he's been very supportive of me the whole time, so I can't moan too much. :)

    Wow slowlyfading. Well done.

    My gym time was a total disaster. It was so hot in there. By the time I'd done 5 minutes on the rowing machine I was exhausted and sweaty, then I got on the treadmill and did 5 minutes fast walking, then ran for 10 mins (normally 30mins) before I had to give up. I did abs then got on the treadmill again but could only run 3 minutes at a sprint so gave up, did some strength with some star jumps every 2 exercises. Totally unsatisfactory but I was honestly so hot i had to peel my trousers off.

    Got a roll with steak and chorizo for lunch so will have that soon.
