♥ ~ Tanya's Maintainence Diary ~ Year 2 ~♥

[irish molly]

I feel for you. You are so frustrated but you have to look after that tendon. Why not look for a positive in this. Use your time away from running to go swimming as much as possible. It will maintain your fitness levels and burn a few cals.

 

[kered]

Hope you are feeling a little better today Tanya, and good idea about swimming, good exercise and support for yourself too.

I can't swim. When I went the other day with my little brother that even hurt my ankle.

Today I feel ok. Still not too great, still winging about not being able to run blah blah blah oh and totm arrived!

Think I did ok with my choice today at nandos but omg what an evening we had. First of all, the complex was rammed and we only luckily found a space. Then the film time we wanted to see was sold out so we booked the later one.

Went to nandos & I knocked someones drink all over her lap with my handbag theeeeeeeeeen my friend somehow lost the flippin cinema tickets!!! We had to wait for the manager to verify that the card she used had indeed been used for that film blah blah so luckily we got in Was funny though, we had to laugh it all off.

And now instead of going out friday for drinks were going to stay in with the sex and the city films in our pjs. Cosy

Wednesday 24th August

B- meal bar.

Aw thats a shame that it still hurt you at the pool.

Good choices tonight Tanya, well done. Glad you have brightened up a little chick, probably done you the world of good going out with your friends.

 

[summergurl]

Yep, it did. I've been feeling a little 'blurgh' lately and I can't wait to get away with my other friend. It will be nice to be just with my friend iykwim.

Oh, forgot to mention, there will be wine with fridays pjs and movies so aslong as I can keep my food ok that day i'll allow myself to indulge

 

[kered]

Sounds like a good evening. When do you fly away on hollybobs?

 

[JanD]

Sounds like a FAB evening on Friday Glad this evening turned out all right in the end Looks like you made great choices. xx

 

[summergurl]

I fly Tuesday Mary

So glad you guys thought I made good choices too
I can't wait for Friday now!!!

I am tonight wearing one of the pairs of boots I bought for winter. They have a tiny wedge on then & read somewhere about dead flat shoes not being all that good for you. So far so good with the ankle in them. Still don't think I'll be in heels any time soon though

 

[JanD]

Oh it's a bugger isn't it?? I feel so sorry for you - in the nicest possible way. You've worked so hard, it must be sooo frustrating. Please try not to get too down about things, live for the moment just now & when your ankle's all better you can get back to serious training and planning schedules etc. In the meantime try to enjoy yourself xxx***hugs***xxx

 

[summergurl]

Really not happy today. Infact I'm fuming.

Weighed myself today and I'm up 6.5lbs :cry: taking me into the 13s ... Haven't been there in well over 20weeks.

I don't understand. I can have a 10day all inclusive holiday & only gain 1lb but 10days here and I gain almost half a flippin stone!

Seriously so angry & so upset. I don't wana go on holiday. I don't wana go out this weekend. I want to go back to tfr.

Today im having 3mrbs. Sod this food - the effin constant pain in my butt! Life was easier being 20st, I didn't have to think about anything. Totally fed up. :cry:

Sorry for the whinge!x

 

[irish molly]

Whinge away, that's what the forum is for.
You do not want to be 20 st again and you know it. Right now, you are still 7 st lighter.
You've had a gain but you have been in party mode/ holiday mode for a wee while. A gain is not the end of the world and you can address it. You have tremendous focus and can do this!
Maybe a stint on TFR will be the way forward. After all, running is out for the moment so TFR may put you back in charge!
Chin up hon, just stop the slide. Xx

 

[kered]

Tanya, its soooo close to your holiday now chick, and I know how down you are feeling right now, but at the end of the day, there is not a lot you can do about it until you get back from holiday.

Try to forget about weight issues, get yourself off on holiday with your friend, just relax, rest that foot and tackle the gains when you get back. If you feel you need stint on TFR to address the issue, then so be it.

Like Molly says, you dont want to be 20st again do you - of course you dont, but you are still 7 stone lighter than you were. Just focus on rest and having a good holiday.

 

[summergurl]

Im just fed up with the constant battle, actually fed up to the max. I cried today when I got back into bed after weighing myself. What an idiot. I feel like nothing is going right at the minute.

Today, well what a crap day. Caved into food despite saying I wanted to do 3mrbs. Its my last night in work tonight then ive 17days off and needless to say, holiday mode has kicked in. I hate this mode, hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it.

I think, once I get back from holiday and can get out for a run again i'm going to do the bridge to 10k programme again. Count calories and hopefully drop a stone. Then after the 10k race i'm going to assess whether I want to go back to tfr and maybe get down to around 10st.

Plan on holiday is the same as Lanzarote. Carbs in the morning, fish, meat & veg, salad lunch & dinner and the occassional cocktail/wine but majority spirits & diet mixers.

Ah, but that was before the millions and how I stopped at 1caramel square I do not know!!!! x

 

[JanD]

Well I was thinking that about stopping at one but I didn't want to make you think it was okay to go and have some more (if there's any left ) ... No way I could have - I'm very impressed. I don't know what the other things are so can't really comment xx

 

[summergurl]

Oh & before I left for work I grabbed a 2cm slice of French stick and buttered it & had a big bite of a chic chip muffin!

Jan, millions... They are little tiny (I do mean tiny) balls of sweets you can get in all diff flavours. If I had time id google a pic for ya but got to start work now xx

 

[JanD]

Aha!! xx

 

[MiniB]

Sorry you're feeling down about things at the mo but I totally agree with what everyone else has said. Don't let this ruin your holiday, have an absolute blast! Deal with the weight issue when you get home.

Think of the positives you've achieved since losing all that weight, joining the police, keeping off over 7 stones of weight and now saving for a house! Your life has changed so much and only for the positive.

Remember you have done brilliantly and will continue to do so.

 

[RetailChick]

Sorry to see your feeling so down Tanya............especially before holidays You have come such a long way and have done amazing dont let this put a dampner on your well deserved holiday chick!!!

Pity about the ankle too but you seem to have a good plan in place for when you come back.........fingers crossed it works out.

Chin up babe xxx
