all day............typical

Fortunately it slowed down a little at lunch time when I popped into town to get a few more Xmas bits so didn't get too wet

Was sooo disorganised this year hadn't even bought the

It's been a really long day - managed to get away from work at lunchtime so that I could pop into town to get the rest of the bits and pieces. Got rather carried away and then went to the supermarket to buy the last few things - bread etc. Didn't get home til 6pm

Meant we had a very late dinner !!!!

The good news is that I've absolutely FINISHED............well let's put it this way...........if I haven't got it now they'll have to go without lol Just got a bit of wrapping left and then I can relax...........okay, okay there's still the washing, housework...........and on and on

it's never ending

absolutely pooped so off to bed shortly, nite, nite.

MAINTENANCE (1500ish!!!!!!!!!)

Good morning everyone

Off to our eldest daughter's house today. She's got 5 children and our youngest daughter and 6th grandchild will also be joining us so it promises to be a lovely noisy family day

Have just had my usual porridge for brekkie - not sure what I'll be eating for lunch or even this evening - will be sticking to 1500ish, but hey this is the start of my Christmas so guess the odd mince pie is bound to disappear down my throat

Feeling pretty chuffed - popped on the scales and have lost another lb - not bad considering how I've steamed through all the maintenance steps over this last week lol

wishing you a good and POSITIVE Saturday

 

[demon]

Not going out today at all...........if I haven't got it now we'll just have to go without

don't think we're going to starve..........couldn't get another thing in the fridge

What is it that makes us buy like we're feeding an army at Christmas

No menu today...........I'm now in celebration mode

Will happily forget the scales until well into next week

 

[demon]

no work for me til after New Year so enjoyed a lovely long lie in................BLISS

Planning to be lazy for the rest of the day and play catch up with sky+

Haven't ventured near the scales yet - will leave that til Saturday - be soon enough to see the damage lol

Feeling decidedly like a HUGE stuffed

right now

but, oh boy, have I enjoyed it

Hope you're all having a WONDERFUL Xmas

 

[demon]

up late as usual

Planning to get back on track at the weekend - will probably get a nasty shock when I get on those scales Sat morning - bound to be HUGE incentive

Off to Bath today for a look around the shops.

wishing you all a good and POSITIVE day

 

[demon]

good afternoon everyone

Truthfully can't face much more rich food............all lovely when it's being eaten...............just don't like the horrid yukky, bloated feeling I had this morning so have decided to get back on track a day earlier than planned. Absolutely love Xmas, but oh boy do I go overboard - bad enough with all the extra food, but WOW it's all the drink that finishes me every time

Know I'll get a nasty shock when I jump on those scales tomorrow morning, but not too worried 'cos it'll soon come off again

wishing you all a good and POSITIVE day

Hi There

Hi Demon, I have just spent two days of readfing this thread, It is absoloutely fantastic, you are the perfect role model for maintanance and the food menu's are fantastic. I think youve worked it out 110% in your head...

...keep posting can't wait to carry on readin ...LOL i want u on maintainance forever to support me....I will hopefully be starting maintainace on Feb 15th!!!

Take care

 

[demon]

Ooooops..........oh dear, got on those pesky scales this morning and I'm back where I was after Mexico..........2lbs over goal weight

Shameful really when you think all that damage was done in the space of one week

Not being much of a role model right this minute dietingqueen!!!!!!

Just goes to show how rich the food is over Xmas - heaven help us if we ate like that all year round

Mind you, think the drink might have helped a bit

Okay, so it's back to the real world. Will be eating sensibly over the weekend and from Tuesday, when I go back to work, will do a 790 week to get rid of the bulk of it.

Phew...........sooo glad I got rid of that holiday surplus. The really good news is that in previous years a hol, followed closely by Xmas resulted in a massive weight gain of nearly 2stone ...........no wonder I weighed over 16st............truly doesn't bear thinking about !!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER AGAIN

Wishing you all a good and POSITIVE day

morning everyone

Planning a trip to the cinema later to see Eragon - it's had mixed reviews, but the trailer looked fun - let's hope that wasn't the only good bits

Not doing anything special this evening - just us and Mother so it'll be very quiet, but we will be toasting in the New Year with a large

or two of champagne

Here's wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

[mindless]

hi Demon - brill thread - and where the heck do you get all these animations/cartoons etc - they sure brighten up the place.

As for the weight - much respect - if you can't see saw a bit around your goal weight over Xmas - when can you

You must be so proud
