Just lying in bed having a wee think about my week and also weigh in tomorrow! Think I've had a good week ( apart from wedding on sat) I've had a few ee days and the rest original and I'm hoping cutting back on the carbs will increase my loss this week! I've been under 15 syns everday( excluding wedding of course) and even went syn free for a few days to make up for it! I only want to lose 11Lbs so I feel like having 15 syns a day would be too much for me, especially as I have quite big portions for dinner ive had loads of SF this week so pleased about that! Anyway will see how it goes at WI and then I can always adjust syns accordingly for next week!
Ideally I'd love to see a loss of 4Lbs tomorrow, this would make it a 7lbs loss alltogether and I'd be 10st 4lbs which would be fab!!! This is maybe a tad unrealistic though but any loss will do!
I'm quite annoyed about my lack of exercise this week. I had the best of intentions.... Did week 1 of kettlbells resistance on Monday and my muscles having been aching since, still in PAIN today! As a result I've not really been able to do anything else cos I could hardly walk lol!! I did 10 minutes of pilates yesterday but that's been it also went a wee ten minute walk around park yesterday but was walking like a cowboy lol really want to do core section of kettlebells today but need to see how the legs are holding up later!!
So things ahead for me next in the next few days...
Christening on Saturday which will include lunch out
Possible night out with friend on saturday
Family lunch on Tuesday
Lunch with friends on Thursday

Yay I managed to do the Core section of Kettlworx today, took it easy on the squatting though! Really enjoyed core and planning to finish off week 1 with cardio on Saturday!
Also squeezed in a wee ten minute pilates perfect abs workout after the bells - started doing this last week and already can see a bit of toning( nothing major but still....)
Went shopping today and treated myself to a nice pair of wedges for the Christening on Sat, also bought some new clothes for starting back work on the 15th. Did get the baby a present too...gorgeous wee outfit from NEXT. Kids clothes there are adorable. Off to make my dinner now, diet coke chicken, yuuummmmm

Hi Chickadee, you seem in a fantastic frame of mind, I'm sure you'll have a good result tomoro after all your hard work I lost 2lbs at weigh in last night, which made up for my 2.5lbs gain the week before!! I've got 1 more weigh in before my holiday next week and I'd really love to lose another 2lbs but that's a rarity for me. I'll be happy with anything as long as its a loss Good luck tomoro, I'm dying to know how you've got on x

That's fantastic, congrats on your 2lbs loss!
I do feel in a good frame of mind although my boyf has just ordered a dominoes pizza and after my rank dinner i must say it'll be hard to resist
I'm nervous and excited about tomorrow - I think i'll maybe lose between 1-2 lbs( anything more would be a total bonus!) Will let you know how it goes...
Not too long now until your holiday, getting excited? You got all your holiday gear sorted?! x

Most of it, some of it still needs a quick wash, then I've got a fair bit of ironing to do (there's 4 of us!) before I can pack. But besides that, I can't wait to get there!!

Aw well you still have plenty of time to get organised! Will be lovely to get away and have a change of scenery eh( wish I was back in Canada!)
Hope you manage to shift the couple of lbs you want before you jet off! Do you have a food diary on here? I'd like a wee peek, good to see what others are doing!

No I don't have one as yet, but I'm certainly gonna start one the minute I get back! I started a written food diary in a little notebook last week and I think it helped a lot x

I'll look forward to reading it then!
Yeah I really do feel like it's helpful, helps me stay focused and because I know it's going to be under scrutiny from others it makes me want to be extra good LOL!!
Although I have become a bit obsessed by it lol

I wouldn't say obsessed.....call it focused and we're all in the same boat on here aren't we? I'm in such a good mindset at the moment all I can think about is losing weight and if keeping a diary helps keep me on the straight and narrow then I can't wait to start mine x
