Morning All

Just a quick post as I have an exercise class followed by work so will post again tonight. I have STS today. I was hoping it might be another 1lb gone but the scales refused to move down, despite flickering there yesterday.

Morning all

I weighed in this morning and I have gained 2lb (SF I'm not on the challenge), so I've finally gone above my start of pregnancy weight. Feel a bit blue about it, although I did spend the weekend eating rubbish while on holiday so I shouldn't be that surprised. On the other hand my bump seems to have popped out a bit this week, so hopefully it's mostly baby gain and not fat gain! Currently 14st13lb, and I'm hoping to stay below 16st by the end of pregnancy. That would be a gain of 1lb/week up to 40 weeks, which is what the books say is normal for this stage.

Skipped swimming last night as I was totally overheated by the time I got home from the supermarket and did my housework bits, but will make myself go tonight. Have ordered a new maternity cossie, as my regular tankini is getting a bit small and I don't want to display my belly to the world!

Meals:
Breakfast: yoghurt, babybel, satsumas
Lunch: chicken, houmous and rocket sandwich, grapes, plum, peach
Snacks: mr kipling cake bar, plus something before I go swimming
Dinner: HM pizza. Going to attempt to replicate the pizza express calabrese so it might be a disaster :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a nice weekend, we've got lots planned so I'm not sure if I'll manage to get online before Monday.

Unsurprisingly I've gained 1lb this week, that's a first. Just realised I'm no spring chicken any more - many thanks indeed for all the lovely birthday wishes - so there are a lot of firsts to be added to my bucket list.

Amy believe me I suffer no guilt re enjoying cakes etc that people have taken the time to bake or buy me. A lb here or there is nothing compared to the kindness shown

B - mashed nana in rf yogurt
Rest of today and the weekend is at the Brum Hilton so I shall eat, savour and enjoy everything placed in front of me, and may even come back looking like Michelin Man . That won't be a first though, I looked like that two years ago!

Have a good weekend, enjoy the opening ceremony. Bit annoyed I'll miss it but no doubt it will be replayed a zillion times after the weekend, so will catch up eventually.

ps don't forget white cats and dogs need sun cream on their ears and noses. I go through more on my pets that I do on me!

pps LittleMoog "Have ordered a new maternity cossie, as my regular tankini is getting a bit small and I don't want to display my belly to the world!" Thank you, it's was so refreshing to read that! Call me old fashioned but I really don't like people wearing drop waist trousers and crop tops etc when they're preggers. It's not a good look!

hehe, my belly wasn't something I wanted to show *before* the bump, so I'm definitely not keen now! :rotfl:

Food today:
B: Coffee (very very late this morning)
s: 1 nature valley piece of granola bar and baked crisps
L: 1 large mango, all bran + milk
s: coffee, fruit
2 x quorn fillets with 1/2 naan
s: frozen yogurt

Exercie: 1 hour walk to work and back, plus lunchtime walk. Oh and the blood sweat and tears to put all the flat pack furniture together this evening!

Need to get some inspiration from all the runners out there, i can never seem to get over actually starting!

I have gained 1lb.
Disappointed in myself, but I'm not surprised.
Well done to all the great losses and commiserations to my fellow gainers. Better luck next week.
