Bren's Diary - The journey begins, again!

Swimming carnival but I have my food to take with me so no problem.

Just have to guzzle the water and take the multi and flaxseed oil tab's.

Beautician appt tonight and then home to tidy as i have a cleaner starting tomorrow.

SOOOOOOOOOO Happpppppppppppy!
 
Well done Bren.

Isn't it funny how people tidy when the cleaner comes.

Anyway, have a nice day Bren, I'm off to bed in a bit.
 
wow bren well done on your weight loss my weight loss is really slow even with excersise and its only a pound but at least all of those add up.. no bread in 3 weeks thats amazing! I tried that once only lasted a day without bread though.
 
I mean I do like bread but I also get ecezema and the yeast in bread and wine aggrivate it within hours, so I usually dont eat a lot of it anyway.
 
I'm at work and feeling much more positive about going below the 70 mark on the scales and dare I say excited that I might be nearing my goal by the time i go to Thailand in just over 5 weeks!

well the day went smoothly until I got home and I've just consumed 2 cheese slices, 20 blueberries (not worried about those), 12 pistachios and an apple ring (dried fruit), oh and a quarter of a CD bar.

I am obviously really hungry just after work and I think from here on in I should have a snack of fruit ready already cut and waiting in the fridge.

Not as much as yesterday afternoon so I will still have dinner, I think going to work with the process of really identifying whether I'm truly hungry or its my mind and boredom setting in.

Off to the beauticians and then the shops for some supplies and back home to tidy.

well dinner I had and now I feel full but not over full however just to ensure things continue to move downwards I am going to head off to the gym.

With my legs I'm suppose to be doing a 30 min brisk walk for circulation with the stockings on. And nothing strenuous for 72 hours, so no weights. Will do 40 mins of cardio or 30 mins on the nike and some upper body weights!

see you all soon

So back on with it today. Problem is Saturday night dinner and also Sunday a street festival!

Hopefully the water will help today and I, sorry, also need the toilet but cannot go yet if you know what I mean......
 
Haven't drunk as much water as I would like so far today. It's probably why I'm ravenous now because I'm actually thirsty.

I also am tried and have a lot to do this afternoon at work and have a friend staying over for the weekend and I'm worried about falling off the wagon. And I still haven't managed to get out of the 70's and as of this morning began encroaching the 71's again.

Please give me the strength to stay distracted and on track.
 
stay on track bren. you can do it. it's only the weekend. there's no need to go off track because of it. they are days like any other. and you have gotten through many so far.

go for it. you'll be gutted if your scales hit 71kg again!!

I know Abz, and thanks.

Well I had callamari (squid) lightly dusted in herbs with a green salad for dinner and half a glass of red wine and then guzzled the water down, although I dont think that I have drunk 3 ltrs still today as I was very very busy at work and have to go into tomorrow for an open day!!!!

I dont feel bloated and didn't cave today for a chocolate when I got stressed or when hubby and I had a cuppa at a chocolate shop. Was a little disappointed in myself about the wine.....


Lots of water tomorrow, I did take my vits today and I am very nervous about jumping on the scales tomorrow morning and seeing a higher number...... but it could be lower.....?

Not sure what to do. No gym today as I have a guest staying but I will try and get up early in the morning and go before leaving for work. Sit ups and bed I think.

i am SO IMPRESSED that you can even ENTER a chocolate shop, let alone drink a coffee in there without falling face down in the chocs!! half a glass of wine is barely a sin honey. and it was red, the better of the two!! you have chosen wisely and enjoyed yourself, so give yourself a break.

if the scales go up tomorrow then it is a minor fluctuation. not a reflection of what you are eating!!

wow bren, I know how you feel, I'm now at my lowest weight on a diet, and late last night I was hungrey so had some pasta so it can happen however i did resist pancakes my friend was making, i did an excersise dvd too last night, im more nervouse about the weekend because i stay at my grans and it is like walking into a cake shop except the owner keeps offering it to me and eating it in front of me lol. i know i can resist though because i go to my grans most weekends, you can do it too bren.
 
Bren, good luck for the weekend, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck for your open day (although, if you're 12 hours ahead of me, I guess you're already there?).

Hope the legs are getting better and you can get rid of them stockings soon. Are they the lovely white ones?

We had a man turn up on the ward (day surgery) in shorts (and he didn't have a dressing gown so had his wife's. He gave us permission to laugh at him), and he had to go home with white stockings on. he was more embarassed about them than having to wear his wife's dressing gown on the ward.
 
Oh no my stockings are the lovely beige variety, very attractive...... NOT!

Open day was full on and my throat is soo sore I think mostly because I forgot to drink anything of 2.5 hours and spent alot of time talking. I had a half glass of red wine on Friday night and dinner out (squid and salad) and on Sat morning lost and weighed 70.7?? Sometimes my body does weird things like this!!

Then last night I had a full glass or red ( i think white is worse in terms of sugar and calories) and ate a little bread and proteins not on my list with dressing and olive oil (really good tasting olive oil). So all very rich foods although I ate slowly and as we were all sharing I didn't eat too much was very sensible.....so..... this morning I've been completely blown away with my, yes that's right, my LOSS!!! I'm now at my all time low since being on minimins...... 69.8! YEAH!

This now means I am out of the 70's and never want to go back in there. Im very happy and off to the gym to tone up the bikini body for 5 weeks time!

Well back into the 70's this morning but pretty sure it's fluid as my ultra skinny jeans now fit and easy I might add.

Scales said 70.5 today and I had 1/2 a glass of wine again yesterday. That's 3 days running so going to get guzzling and I better hurry as it's after lunch and I've only managed about 750ml!!!!!
