Oh Em it's getting so close now. How exciting. Try to have a restful time in the buildup or you'll be too tired to enjoy the holiday. 
*deep breath* my journey to a thinner / healthier me

Cool, thanks Lisa I don't mind getting off last as long as I get on quickly and get settled
I had a nap before we came down to mum's and I'm still tired I really hope I'm not coming down with something because all I'll want to do is sit by the pool and not explore the town
Am hoping to have had my turkish bath by this time next week

Why is it so hard to get back on the wagon when you know it's the one thing that makes sense? You start the day with the best of intentions, but then things slip away from you as things go wrong :giggle:
I'm totally accepting the blame here as I know I should have made the time this morning to make my fruit salad like originally planned, but instead I went for a nap, and when I woke up there wasn't any time to get anything together. So come lunchtime I was starving and when we went to the shop near mum's the only thing I could spot that was remotely acceptable for me to eat was a tomato, chorizo and bean soup with a hexb of bread followed by a tub of strawberries (the only decent looking fruit in the shop).
I really want to get back into the right frame of mind by the time we go to turkey because I know if I go while I feel like this I'll be snacking on pistachio magnums all the time. But if I can get the right sort of head on my shoulders then I'll be sticking to watermelon and fruit and only have the occassional magnum :giggle:

Back on it today
We're at mum's today so I'm determined to plan in advance so that I get it right this time and don't have the stress of trying to find something to eat and then falling straight back off the wagon :giggle:
I've been thinking about dragging Chris over to Stoke on thursday morning so I can go in their new look store and see if they have the dress that I want. I think he'd throttle me if it wasn't in stock, so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to persuade him. I was thinking if we were there for when the store opens, we could be back at his mum and dad's in plenty of time for him to see his dad before he goes to work (he starts at 11.30) and he could go and see his grandparents (they all live on the same estate). I think I need to do a bit of sucking up, make him a few cups of tea, maybe some breakfast in bed on monday etc :giggle:
EE day
Brekkie - banana + strawberries
Snack - blueberries
Lunch - low low cheese spread (hexa) with pasta
Dinner - chinese pork steak (say 3 syns for the marinade), tomato and cucumber
Snack - 4 ryvitas (hexb and 4 syns for spread)
5 sleeps to go

Morning everyone :wavey:
Not quite 100% yesterday, but it seems to be getting better if that makes sense? So fingers crossed even better today
Brekkie - banana on toast (hexb), followed by blueberries
Snack - mullerlight
Lunch - strawberries, cherries and grapes
Dinner - sausage roll and mini waffles (11 syns) with tomato and cucumber
Snack - milkshake (hexa)
I'm thinking about having a fresh start when we come back from turkey. Kind of like a re focus thing. I feel like I haven't been giving sw my all over the past 3 months and I really don't want to give up, so I think a fresh start is what I need.

You don't sound awful x
It'll be you one day too.
As for a fresh start after Turkey that sounds like a great idea. 100% days all the way!!!

I'm really going to try for 100% today too and every day until we go
Really wish it was closer because being at my mum's is driving me nuts, so I'm dreading tuesday and wednesday. She just never has anything nice to say to me, she didn't comment on my hair (even though I've had at least 4 inches chopped off), and she moans at Chris for booking holidays. I'm just at a stage at the moment where I don't want to be in her house because it means I just sit in the front room on my own away from her and my brother's precious gf

Think I might spend the day sorting through some last minute bits for turkey, I've got a stunning pair of trousers (black with butterfly and flower print on them) that I want to take up that are too long in the leg for me, so I might use some hemming tape on them today, my chinos and some shorts I've got too. Think I might travel in the black printed trousers as they're quite loose and soft fabric so will probably just wear a black vest with them and take my black jersey cardigan too

I know it is difficult, but can you not stay at home rather than going to your mum's. That way you will not be tempted to go off plan because you are stressed.
