Well I've just arrived home. For those of you not on FB my mad hubby decided when we left London we should go 2 hours further away to Dorset for fish & chips & a paddle! So being mad like we are we did & have just walked through the door. Work tomorrow should be fun. So glad I'm not weighing as dread to think what they'd say as since Friday morning I bet I've eaten about 8000 calories. Roll on my fast!

They must do good fish and chips in Dorset. Sound like a fun weekend.

What's that you ask??? It's the space where my scales should go (carpet needs hoovering lol) so there's my proof ladies that I'm going to do this but there are likely to be plenty of freak outs along this month!

I'm SO impressed, well done!

I'm SO impressed, well done!

I'm actually really pleased I don't have them as I am so bloated! I think I'm about 1/2 stone up seriously I feel huuuuge. I've not even thought about eating & making my lunch to bring in to work made me feel grotty. Probably a good thing really cos it's fasting day.....

 

[Lexie2005]

Food today as follows

130pm 100g pickled beetroot & 50g pickled onions

230pm - 60g smoked salmon & salad (just leaves & carrot grated)

530pm - low low chicken basil pasta & a Hartleys jelly

 

[Lexie2005]

It's strange, my normal routine on a Monday night is to get home from work & jump on the scales before a nice relax in the bath. At the minute I feel ok about it all & knowing the next time I weigh I may be at goal is (I hope) going to keep me on track. It's 4 weeks today until I'll weigh again so I will end up throwing a random Sunday fast in on 31st august which is my first day back at work after 2 weeks off.... Feels strangely relaxing not knowing what I weigh

I found not weighing did make me more accountable and probably did stop me eating just for the sake of eating. And it is relaxing not having your day..and mood...dictated by a scale. I think weighing monthly will make us work harder to do well for the month.

I've been horrendous, bread for breakfast lunch snacks & pasta for tea. Eurgh.... So.... Bloated....

 

[weebuns]

My jeans were loose this morning and now I've undone the button. It is only bloat and it will go...though the 2nd baked potato I had feels like a lead weight in my stomach right now!! Just the ups and downs of fasting x

Absolutely & not weighing stops me worrying about it to be honest. Fasting again tomorrow

Listening to your heart then Ali, and not your jeans. Didn't you hear them screaming at you for a salad? LOL.

I know it's only been a day but I'm impressed that you've stuck to your no weighing guns.
