Twelve Weeks To Glow

all through the meeting I was day dreaming about Whopper Burgers, to the point where I was salivating.

No amount of wrestling, with myself, would lessen the craving, so I decided to scratch the rebellious itch, and participate in a burger, onion rings and half bottle of wine event, in front of the fire, instead of a Zumba class.

That had to be the best burger i've ever eaten and I savoured every mouthful, without any guilt at all.

I think it was what I needed, because the resentment has gone and I'm back on the programme :rotfl:.

...Oh I love your logic RB! Hope it works and may try similar myself in a moment of weakness, :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

you only gained .5. RESULT! and you didnt even want to go! So proud of you xx

clippy_girl

.5 is nothing to worry about! I gained .4 but only count whole lbs so I didn't put any on

Thanks Clippy, I like your style .

What strategies have you in place for this week, to lose another pound or two, i'd like to pinch them :rotfl:. That's the strategies and not the pounds!!

I squeezed in 5 mystery shops today and now I have the tedious task of writing them up. I did succumb to a purchase at N**t, but fortunately it doesn't make me feel FABULOUS, so it is going back.

The underwear has been a great investment though, it is a source of great comfort and support, and you can't say that about many things xx.

We all need a treat now and then and I reckon that burger would have haunted you until you succumbed. Well done on the minuscule gain, you will have that back off again before you know it x

Just gym and eating healthy really. Pump yest, combat today, 1st ever spin class tomorrow then step on Thursday. Did combat on sat and attack on sun so will def be ready for a rest fri :A then will prob undo it all over the weekend as I am visiting a friend so lots of drinking, lunch, dinner etc..:EasterBun

Quite nervous about spin, looks v hard and friends sis did it and fell off bike. She had to call in sick next day as couldn't walk! _pale_

I also got one of Gillian mcheaths books out of library earlier so looking at the soups and stews in that. Look quite yum!

Well you deserve to lose a couple of pounds engaging in all that activity!

Do you enjoy the classes, and the healthy eating, or is it a necessary evil to stop you balooning after indulging at the weekends ?

I go through phases .......... but would like to find a sustainable middle ground.

Morning!

Day 42 of the 12 week challenge and 106/365 - 29.04%.

I have a busy day today at my regular job and I have tacked on another couple of mystery shops at the end of the day.

One task that I must squeeze in before the end of the month is phoning up Sco**ish Power to check that I am on their lowest tariffs for gas and electricity. I do this every year, about this time, and they are always able to switch me on to a more competitive rate.

I am also debating, with myself, whether to do 4 funeral parlour mystery shops on Friday, which would mean that I hit my £400.00 savings, but I hate these visits....

It would appear that everyone else does too, because they are just sitting there with the fee increasing every day.

What do you think????

grannyx2

I think if they are well paid enough I would do them x

I don't mind the healthy eating part so much as my meals have never been an issue as I like good home cooked food rather than crappy processed ready meals etc... My downfall is snacks as I love crisps, chocolate, sweets and cakes. I do miss them but I am incapable of having one bar of choc, one bag of crisps etc... I totally go for it and have all of them! So at the moment I am trying to cut them out and just have popcorn (which I also love and is much healthier). To be honest I feel much better eating healthy snacks than the sugar high and lows of eating rubbish! Someone just needs to invent cadburys flavoured fruit and veg! :rotfl:

I hate the gym but I do enjoy the classes although sometimes need to force myself to go but I enjoy it when I'm there! Eventually when I am happy with weight I will just do a few a week and allow myself some treats!

Well done on all your mystery shops! I've not got any booked in at the moment
