    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Weighed in this morning as I'm away for the weekend, STS which I'm okay with

    B- F&F, sk milk
    D - 2 wraps with stir fried diced courgette, sausage, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes. Strange mixture but it was surprisingly good :)
    T - mango, 2 nectarines, banana, grapes - all needed eating before going away tomorrow
    S - satsuma and pear chopped into ff yogurt
    E - 1 hour gym. As I thought earlier I almost regretted going, the PT is reviewing my routine to include mat work, heaven help me!

    Not sure if there's a gym where we're going but we're taking our trainers etc just in case. Have a sunny weekend :)
  • just been having a quick catch up , been doing some impromptu decprating to brighten up my very drab bedroom , now its a sun shiny yellow rather than insipid magnolia:D

    Not the best of eating past ocouple of days either , i seem to eat much better when at work , away from temptations i guess

    My DD is still home from uni and hse makes all my fav puddings so a large helping of queen of pudding was had today :o

    so not expecting anything negative on the scales in the morning

    exercise wise i am up to date with my c25k and finished run 3 of week 6 so i am now running for 25 mins :j:j

    Morning from a very fed up savesummore!!

    I got on the scales this morning and although they very briefly hovered on 9st 12lb they settled on 9st 13lbs meaning yet again STS for me :o

    I have been so good foodwise this week and done The Shred pretty much everyday and felt thinner (:rotfl:) I really though i would lose a couple of pounds so am gutted :(

    Im hoping with all the shredding I have built muscle and am due for my two week measure on Sunday so am hoping for some inch loss

    There is no option but to carry on- no point eating biscuits and chocs as this wont help so onwards and downwards!

    Good luck on the weigh in everyone im off to throw myself on the floor in a paddy :rotfl:

    I suppose staying the same is better than going up but I know how frustrating it must be and I am sure I will hit that point this next week. I cant fit in any more than I am doing now.

    This week has been silly busy hence the lack of posting. I have been having my oats for breakfast and fruit as and when I can. I have been out the office a lot which has meant less sitting still. I have however bought ready made sandwiches twice but went for lowest fat / calories that I could.

    So I am pleased to say that I have lost just over 2lbs this week. :D

    I only have one more weigh in next Friday and then off on my hols. Cant wait - going to swim every day when I am there.

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    Well I'm pretty pleased my work paid off 4lb loss this week. Quite a lot but it is my first week so it will probably be less next week.

    Today I'll be having
    B: 3 weetabix
    L: ham wrap
    D: Hm chicken curry
    and my exercise will consist of 30 mins on my exercise bike and C25K run tonight with my son.

    Well done JaxJax123! Great first week loss, did you want adding to the challenge? There's 3 weeks left of this one.

    I am now back to where I was at the beginning as I suspected last week, hopefully I can rectify this before the end of the challenge. If I can get back down to 11'6 by then I would be happy.
