[Mrscush]

Aww...good luck hunni :fingerscrossed:

Something tells me you don't need it though...

I hope so Dawn, I hope so! If itys only even to get the +2 gain off from last week!!!

 

[Mrscush]

Bah- half a pound off!
Yea, it's a loss but I had hopes for more.
I know when o work hard at the gum it takes a few weeks to show, so I guess patience is the key.
I'm not at class for the next 2 weeks as I have Paris and then my birthday, so am putting everything I have into a loss (despite all of the celebrations!) in 3 weeks time.
Found a recipe earlier for corn chowder- free on ee, so have made a batch of that to start as I mean to go on.

Have a nice eve x x

But it's like we always say...better off than on...but I know we always want a bit more than that. Not to worry hun...get that chowder down ya!!!

[Mrscush]

Thanks lovely. Hopefully good news tomorrow?!

Had a lovely day today, nice lie in with OH, and then headed to London as went for lunch with my fam as a pre-birthday meal. Had a gorg roast - with ample veg (broccoli, carrots, swede, parsnips, cauliflower, butternut squash) with beef, turkey and a couple of roastie's. Ignored the pudding menu and instead had 1 small glass of wine and really enjoyed it.

Very much looking forward to my trip on Thursday! Have a dinner out on Tuesday, but other than that nothing to stop me sticking to plan until I go away

Aug is a hugely busy month for me - I have plans now every weekend all involving food that is beyond my control and drinks a plenty I am sure - so I really need a helping hand being 110% angel M-F as its gonna be tough to stay on the straight and narrow.

Enjoy the last few hours of the weekend x

 

[Mrscush]

Good morning
Happy Monday (and 3 sleeps to go...!!!)

Did a lot of thinking last night. Worrying I know!!I am really struggling ATM. I start the day with good intentions and sometimes finish well, sometimes not so much!

Last week I was super angelic - and was rewarded with a half pound loss. The week before I had 1 day off plan - and that was only wine, meals were all ok - and had a 2 pound gain. Kinda knocked me for six, and i rebelled against myself. Kinda silly when you think about it.

So last night, I had a think - why I am doing this, so taking it right back to basics. I think my head got lost in the pressure to do well - and I lost sight of the end goal.

So, from now - its 1 day at a time. No pressure for end goals or amounts lost per week - my main focus is to get each day on track as that is a goal for me.

Admittedly, I have a holiday at the end of this week - but I will be doing lots of body magic (not in that way Dawn !!... well actually...!!), but will be walking miles aorund the sights of Paris, so any naughties should balance out.

So, today - its all about GREEN
B - 28g oats, skim milk, banana, blueberries - hea and b
L - Jacket pot with beans, 2 satsuma,
D - ww ocean pie (4), wedges, mushy peas
HEXA & B - Milk for drinks and a HIfi bar.
Exercise - going running after work, OH is training for a half marathon so I am being his coach

 

[skinnydawn]

Hi Nattymo!

Omg!!!

Now I'M getting all excited about Paris :bliss: and I'm not even going!!! :wave_cry:

I'm glad you gave yourself a good talking to hun! :copon: It works wonders doesn't it!!!

Have a good day xxx

 

[Mrscush]

Hello slimmers

Back from Paris and had SUCH an awesome time! OH had planned every detail and we saw sooo much. We did huge amounts of walking - which has resulted in me staying the same over my trip - even though we ate loads of nice stuff and wasnt really on plan at all! Thouroughly enjoyed - but you know what, yesterday I couldnt wait to get back on plan and start eating 'properly' again.

Off work today, so just did a mammoth tesco shop and running the machine as we have oodles of washing to plough thru!

Off to the gym later - its the last day of my 20's (OMG!) so I am starting the 30 era as I mean to go on. Yes - throwing down the gauntlet - target by xmas! I WILL do it.

OH and I have planned a super yummy meal to make tomorrow eve for my big b'day - and its all on plan. Crab cakes for starter and thai beef salad (both from extra easy cook book) for main. Delish! Berries and 0% greek yog for pud if we fancy. Doesnt that sound yum!

I have a few cards here thru the post that I am going to open tomorrow, and just picked up a lovely bag in M&S with the money my parents gave me! Oh, and my lovely boyf got me a gorg necklace from tiffany, which he gave me on the way to Paris on the Eurostar, while we were sipping champers. bliss!

Anyway, enough ramblings - menu for today!

Monday 1st Aug - Red Day
B / L (ate it just now so a brunch!) - Smoked Salmon with scrambled egg, mushrooms and 1 toast (hexb)
D - Chicken wrapped in bacon, , 227g wedges - hexb, Mixed salad
