And I'd much rather you had a rant here than in your head, if you know what I mean! At least it gets it out your system.

Feeling grumbly today as I put on 3.5lbs in a week and a half on holiday. On the positive side it means I have 2 stone EXACTLY till I'm at target, and when I think of it as 4 half-stone or 8 quarter-stone jumps it doesn't seem so bad. You're exactly where I want to be, Jenna!

Sorry to hear about the arthritis. Everyone in my office is run down and achey with colds and flu at the moment. I had it before I went on holiday but I think I'm going to end up with it again. I used to dread parent interviews! They were never quite as bad as I thought they were going to be, so fingers crossed it's the same for you.

Lol I am completely aware I sound like a basket case sometimes and I do apologise! It was an IEP review/renew interview, was doing it with the Special needs co-ordinator so it wasn't too bad I just could've seen it far enough this morning.

Aww you'll get it off in no time Em, plus I'm sure you had a fab holiday?

Kim, I tend to be quite lucky with mine in that flare ups are few and far between, I was just moaning cause I haven't had it in ages and forgot how bloody sore it was lol. I've been lucky to escape having to take regular meds and just get steroid injections every few years. They seem to keep the main aches and pains away with just general stiffness or inflammation happening every now and then.

Hoping it keeps me on the straight and narrow (would need to be very narrow haha)

She's been airbrushed to death so don't worry too much if it doesn't! She's had half her torso taken off her, let alone her arms, chin and plumped up boobs! I read an article about airbrushing on the BBC this week and it's really made me look twice at all fashion pictures, and I've been horrified. I'd saved off pictures of the swimwear I bought for holiday and now I actually look at the body shapes they're all obviously nipped and tucked by a good old wave of the mouse. I'm trying to imagine what her body shape would have to be without that dress on (in a non-naughty way!) and it would just be blooming weird - she'd have the longest torso in the world - look at how low her bum is supposedly sitting!

Rant over..!
 
Oh will def have a look at the article. It's stupid I know, even though I KNOW she's been airbrushed I still want to look like that. I know it's not real, and yet it is real because it's what I see (****** I sound like I'm on drugs lol)

Altered dinner as I'm really not hungry and I'm only in from work so couldn't be assed cooking!
 
I'm pleased with a STS, what I ate last Sunday (regardless of whether I had spent the week starving myself) was deserving of a gain.
I don't finish until 2pm on Friday...bring it on!

Went to get my bellybutton pierced there and the bloody guy isn't in yet, even though I emailed and asked what time he started. Was told to go back after 11 grrr!

Writing this as a little reminder for myself (should I struggle later on today).

I have just seen 9st dead on the scales. If I behave myself I could manage to see it next week, I could also possibly see the 8s which would make me EXTREMELY happy. I got my belly button pierced yesterday, if I want to display it I need a flatter stomach...biscuits by the bucket won't help. If you need motivation have a little look at the pics of some of your friends who are there already in bikinis.

Breakfast
Pineapple, apple, banana and a muller light.

Lunch

Dinner
Chicken pasta bake-Breast of chicken, 55g pasta, 4 syns of philly, HEA of cheese and the usual veg.

Snack
8 syns on biscuits

Today is pretty much a replica of yday (then again most of my days are lol), I just need to write it down to try and stay accountable.

Is it really sad that I am genuinely excited by the possibility of seeing the 8s again? It's insane to me how our idea of what an ideal weight for ourselves would be changes as we lose..when I first started I wanted to be 10st. I would now die at the idea of being 10st (since I'm a shorty) yet at the start of my 'journey' I thought I would've been happy there. The 8s is definitely where I'm happy...it's just a bloody struggle to get there and stay there haha!
How has your week been?
