It's a lovely day here too but saying that it was yesterday till 3pm when it bucketed it down.

I am working this morning then I will dog walk and run this afternoon. I am going to look around my local gym tomorrow morning, it's a council one and is 2 miles away so walkable/bikeable although I do have a car, they do an off peak membership for £19.95/month if you sign up for 12 months, you can use it M-F 9am-4pm and all day at the weekend.

Me and DH were looking at buying a treadmill but 12 months doing this is cheaper and he's not that bothered plus it would take up a lot of room.

HI all,

Weigh in wasn't as bad as expected, lost 1lb.

Dragged Hubby, literally, out for a walk last night. Only did a couple of miles but beats sitting on my bum playing Candy Crush and the likes

Food today:
- beans on toast
- leftover cottage pie (made with sweet potato), grapefruit
- ready meal curry and rice and 2 samosas

Not the healthiest of evening meals granted but I can just stick it in the oven, tidy up whilst it cooks and hopefully have time to go out for another walk tonight

Well done his missus!

The scales are definitely NOT my friend at the mo. But I do know why, so am rectifying the situation and hopefully by Friday they'll be nicer...!

Well done his missus We are doing so well

Today, I have done generally well with food apart from opting for a hot lunch at work instead of my vegetable dish, and had some of my OHs lasagne as well as my tea. Actually not such a good day

I walked the dogs a couple of miles this evening so hopefully that'll help

I'm currently resisting the urge to have ice cream, need to keep strong!

well done his missus

Lovely day with fantastic weather, hotel had an awesome jacuzzi but the pool was a bit naff for swimming in, I behaved at lunch a opted for a jacket spud with a little cheese and salad. Dinner changed as well with just a simple mixed salad, the first time this year that we ate in the garden followed by a walk into the village, a lovely chilled evening.

I have enjoyed my food today!

Lunch's soup contained 6 veggies :j and with 2 hb eggs, kept me full up. I also ate my usual breakfast and a good amount of nuts and an apple. Munchies when I got home were cashews and sultanas, plus the dregs of dd's grated cheese. Tea was an eclectic mix of leftovers: broc, mash, sausage in onion, tikka and hm bhaji! Usual pud. So, I had 8 veg and 2 fruit. Yay! Hit my 'power of 10' target for once :j!.

And is a day off exercise. Tomorrow I shall do another of my ZWOW workouts, but a short one. Doesn't mean it'll be any less intense tho!

Hello.


So.... starve days were successful and are now over for the week. Today was a bit chaotic and I have eaten over my limit but only by 100 calories.

The aim was to stick to 1350 calories but I ended up at 1444... mainly due to turkish delights (little sweets we got from a family) and a leftover muffin... yep, those little muffins got me.
:doh:

But it's still a lot better than normal so I am feeling quite happy, especially as it could have been so much worse due to the stress of the day. Should be better tomorrow... hopefully.

Morning

I know it's not my weigh in day until tomorrow but I couldn't wait so I weighed myself today and 1lb off So pleased that it's finally going in the right direction. If I lose 1 more lb I'll be my lowest weight in 4 years

Hope you all have a good day the weather looks set to be lovely

Well done his missus & Fmess. My weigh in day is tomorrow.

Yesterday I cycled for 25 minutes, ran for 20 minutes, skipped 500 times and dog walked for 45 minutes.

Today I have had my free trial at the gym and have run on the treadmill, stationary bike, cross trainer, and some upper body weights. They have a set of scales there and I was 1/2 stone lighter on those. I was so much more sweaty than when I exercise outside due to lack of breeze/wind I suppose. Will be deciding today whether to join.

I am going to run today for 20 minutes before the school run and will also dog walk and have promised the kids a bike ride to my mum's this evening but that will just be a little pootle really.

Tomorrow is my day off exercise.

Food today

B/F 2 x weetabix, soya milk, fruit toast, flora, coffee
Lunch cous cous, sausage, fruit and yoghurt
Tea - salmon fillet, potato wedges and veg

snacks, fruit and squash.

My food doesn't sound much when I read it back but I'm not hungry much so it must be OK.

Have a good day all.
