Really not happy today...I've been good all week, and the last 3 days the scales have been showing one pound down, but today it is back again! So I'm a STS.

I hate it when that happens :mad:

Was very keen for a loss this week, because I'm going to undo all my good work tonight, when we have a birthday dinner. For complicated reasons, I'm providing the food but having to take it to DS2s to cook it all...there will be steak pie, dessert, birthday cake....I'm not expecting a loss tomorrow

Oooh enjoy the evening! and just knuckle back down tomorrow

ellie99 I hate it when the scales jump around too. Am sure if you keep going it will drop sooner rather than later!

I am very, very glad it's Friday. On a training today so feel like it is almost already the weekend. However all this sitting me down and not being busy is making me hungry and want my lunch already.

Reading a very interesting book about intuitive eating, which has been very illuminating and making me think. Will share some more with you when I have read more than 20 pages.

My food today is:
B: bowl of Cheerios, pear
L: egg and tomato roll, pink lady
home made chicken burger and lots of salad, fruit salad
Drinks: lots of water, no doubt a cup of tea before bed.

Am also going to try and walk home this evening, which is about 45 minutes, just as a way of moving my body before I step on the scales tomorrow.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Carb disaster.

Had nice lovely no carb spinach and mushroom omelette, then went walking with friend, so nice exercise and all that, we ended up in w8rose and had a cup of tea (free of course) with.....you guessed it, a cake, shared between the two admittedly. Then we walked back, feeling all nice and virtuous, only half cake each, exercise to burn it...

Until I came home and DS with a great big smile announced that he had surprise for me. He had baked me a banana cake! He had been online to get a recipe and got working while I was out. Loads of butter and sugar in it too. Used plain flour as we did not have self raising so it was quite flat but the taste was amazing. It would have been impossible to refuse it, even if only because of his kindness. But genuinely it was super lovely!

To balance the sweetness I had salad with tomatoes and feta, no bread obvs! but tonight I have a mystery shop with DH in a restaurant in town and it will be difficult to avoid carb completely because of the choice I have to make.

So, having promised that I would weigh myself tomorrow to give my baseline weight, I am quite nervous of it now.

but I don't waaannnttt to knuckle back down tomorrow (said in a whiny voice whilst drumming my feet on the floor)...I want to have the weekend off :rotfl:

(actually we have *another* birthday tomorrow, but that should only involve afternoon cake ) October is a really bad month for dieting in my house!

Ooops! but in your defence I think most of us would have gone s*d the diet and eaten the cake as well!

Morning all. Pleased to say that its a 1lb loss for me this week. Very happy this morning. This weekend won't be so good foodwise though as its DH's birthday and we are going out for a meal with the family tonight. I'm going to enjoy the weekend and then hopefully knuckle down again Monday

proserpina

Happy Saturday to you all!

Well done on the loss, gresleyrover.

Have just stepped on the scales and have lost 1.8lbs this week. :j

Got a busy-ish weekend, my mum and dad are down to see my brother, so will be going over to meet them this afternoon/evening and out for dinner tonight. Will try and fit some walking in somewhere just to get me moving a bit.

I do normally like to plan out what I will be eating in the day, that's tricky when plans are a bit up in the air. Also, in this intuitive eating book I have been reading, one of the central tenets is about eating what you really, really want. But I don't know what that is yet!

Hope you all have a lovely day xx
