Bev - Round 2

[kered]

Super loss again Bev, you must be feeling well pleased with yourself, and deservedly so.

Not long now and you will be able to enjoy the taste of food again. Great news on the Wedding front, I am sure being the Mother of the Bride will keep you motivated into sensible eating after the holidays.

Sooooo very very pleased for you, and your Daughter as well. Must be an excited house at the moment.

Made the decision yesterday to start refeeding. Just time in my honest opinion. I know if I tried to do TFR for another 3 weeks I would break it and what's the point of that.

I had a small piece of chicken and salad for tea last night, absolutely lovely too. Will be having the same for tea tonight.

I will still be having a couple of maintenance products or bars during the day and having a meal in the evening. I don't want any carbs just yet but I will see how I get on. Will be going to my pharmacist to get some maintenance bars and choc whip on saturday and also going to Asda so will try to get some of their bars or the BL ones. I want to do this quite slowly.

Had a really sore foot yesterday and it got worse through the day. The pain is on the top of the foot (well bottom of the front of my ankle really). Not sure what I've done. It's a bit better today but when I try to flex my foot upwards, it really does hurt and I can't fully flex it. I also had a migraine last night. Haven't had one in months. Felt awful last night altogether. Glad that that's passed though.

Wont be going to badminton tonight cos of my foot, don't want to risk making it worse. Missing one week wont hurt.

Hopefully I'll have a nice long weekend and will feel fully recharged for next week, fingers crossed.

Good decision Bev, welcome back to the world of eating hun. I bet that chicken was the most delicious taste ever last night. I wish I could keep that feeling forever.

Hope the foot eases, just take it easy for a few days and rest it.

I think it's a good decision too. You know yourself best. Enjoy all those lovely flavours

Shame about your foot - how strange .. hope it's soon okay xx

Good decision Bev. No point struggling through if you know you're not going to do it with full heart. Welcome back to the world of food! Hope your refeed goes well for you. Are you planning sticking with meal replacements & a meal for a few weeks yet?

And hope your foot eases up soon xx

 

[MiniB]

I'm planning on finishing my shakes and bars I have left, which should last me over another week yet. I'm also getting some maintenance products from the pharmacist tomorrow too. I'll be replacing some meals for the next few weeks, I'm trying to do this quite slowly. I don't want to go mad.

Had a little chicken and salad for tea last night again, it was lovely. Going to have prawn salad for tea tonight, looking forward to that already!

Feels good to be eating proper food again, I think it was time for me to start. I just didn't feel 100% committed to TFR so knew it was time to refeed. I did it for just over 10 weeks and lost just under 3 stones. Very pleased with that. I'm happy going on holiday in 5 weeks the sizeI am and that's the important thing.

Nice long bank holiday weekend coming up, lovely! Not sure what the weather's going to do though, would be nice if the sun came out and the wind went away but I doubt it somehow.

You have done so well Bev, and you are right, your body will tell you when you are at the time to eat again. Glad you are enjoying it. Prawns sound lovely, I haven't had them in ages. Might get some tomorrow when I am shopping.

Fingers crossed to lose this darned wind too.

 

[summergurl]

Yup, brilliant overall loss bev, well done
I think its forecasted for rain this weekend! x

 

[Zenaworrier]

How exciting about the wedding! I love a good wedding!
Glad your listening to your body and refeeding instead of having a blow out. Very sensible!
Have a lovely weekend x

 

[MiniB]

Enjoying eating again, it's lovely! During the week I will be having 2 replacement bars or shakes with a meal in the evening. During the weekend I had one replacement bar with two meals (only a very small one at lunchtime though). Feel so relieved to be back eating again!

Got some biggest loser bars this weekend, they're nice. Very chewy though, my jaw hurts afterwards! Will try to get some more of these this weekend. I do find them filling.

Enjoyed our long weekend off. Not much weather but that doesn't really matter. Went shopping with mum and daughter and got a few more bits for holiday. Bought a great dress at Asda for holiday for a tenner. I put it on thinking I bet it wont suit me, but it's gorgeous. If fits really well and looks great! Even if I do say so myself, which I don't very often. Absolute bargain! I think I'm done now for holiday, no more buying for me!

 

[JanD]

What about your wi Bev? xx

 

[MiniB]

Haven't weighed today, I forgot, I will do it in the morning! Can't believe I forgot too!

 

[JanD]

I'm sure that means something really deep and significant and is a really great breakthrough of some kind but WHAT??????? FORGOT?????? LOL Go you!!! xx

 

[kered]

Oooh George at Asda.......my favourite nightshift haunt, I have been good lately though. Pleased about the dress fitting so good Bev, you deserve to be proud hun.

 

[MiniB]

Weighed in today and up a pound. Not too worried about that, thought I would.

Still having 2 replacement meals and one meal at tea time and enjoying it. I'm really liking the biggest loser bars, very filling too. Great for lunch at work.

Off to the gym after work, no badminton tomorrow cos it's half term though, boo! Back to it next week though.

4 weeks today and I'm off on holiday, woohoo!!

 

[Zenaworrier]

Yay not long till your holiday! Glad things are going ok with you

 

[JanD]

Well done on accepting the lb Bev - we all know refeed can have that effect sometimes & there's no way it's fat!!

Ooooo 4 weeks!! Exciting!! xx

 

[kered]

I am sure that pesky water 1lb will be gone next week Bev.

Have you started to pack for the holidays yet?

 

[MiniB]

No packing done yet Mary, leaving that for another couple of weeks. I do have all my stuff together though, just not in the case!

I have the car again today cos hubby may be late finishing work tonight. They have had to deliver fences to St Ives for the Queen's visit. She's off there and over to the Isles of Scilly today. She's coming by train to Penzance and then flying over to the Scilly Isles. She's going to have a great day, the weather's gorgeous! It's going to be really hot down here today, like the rest of the country I think.

Still having two replacement meal bars and then a meal in the evening. Going OK so far. Went gym on Wednesday and had a really good workout. Did half hour on the treadmill (only walking fast) which is the most I've managed. Enjoy that though.

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend for everybody. The sun is going to shine and I'm going to be in my back garden getting a pre-tan for my holiday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, I know I will!

 

[kered]

Doing great Bev - enjoy the lovely weather, it was beautiful in Wales yesterday and looks like the same today - shame I am back in work.
