Hi all,

Afternoon :hello:
3 more AFDs for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

As well as going to the gym tonight, I have managed to stay AF, which is a first in 3 weeks for a Tuesday so now at 6/18.
I'm just doing calorie counting (and the usual low GI stuff during the day) - lost the first pound :jWhat do we do when we fall?

Well done Shaggy. I haven't got on the scales yet - leaving that til Monday morning, only doing it weekly. Been bad today and had a bag of crisps at lunchtime since I had a busy day and only had chance to get to the Sainsburys Local round the corner so bought a meal deal and the crisps called to me. Had eaten them by the time I really thought about the fact I shouldn't have picked them up in the first place!What goes around comes around.....I hope!0
