I'm doing a major de-junk and sort out of clothes. A cull if you like, if only to make room for some more!! - oh and going away for a few days on Wednesday so might throw a few clothes in a carrier bag ;)

Calm down dear! - it's only a game... (I never, ever thought I'd hear myself say those words to a female after having them said to me virtually every weekend since I was about 9!)

Lynne, leaving Wednesday (Flying from Manchester on Thursday) Everything booked, all tickets, car, villa, ESTA, I'm commiting a cardinal syn by not having a plan! - Florida needs planning, but with so much to do and trying to fit it all in, I've decided to risk "playing it by ear". (Mickey Mouse reference thrown in for free:cool:)

Looking forward to getting a tan and come back all refreshed! - something that has never happened before:eek:

Anyway, I only just logged on to tell you of my non-scale victory! I was sorting out some clothes and stuff when I came across a pair of 42in waist Jeans (form Marksies!) I must have missed them on the last cull as I threw out all of my fat clothes. I now keep them and tried them on:D - i'm gutted they no longer fit:cry:- but hope to fit into them in a few months;)

Seriously it is hard to believe my telly is 2in smaller than them jeans!!! (Pity Sony don't make jeans...)

I would take a photo, but it hasn't been possible to hold the camera with one hand, hold the jeans up with the other hand and trying not to shake with laughter at the image (in the mirror for extra comic effect!!)

OK, back to the "sorting" - I will leave you with this thought for now....

If Peter Cushing had married Whoopie Goldberg, would she have been known as Whoopie Cushing?:8855:

The more astute of you will notice I am not our rambling today! - too much to do and as not feeling 100%, am not risking illnss (man flu) or injury (blisters, ankle etc.) this close to the holiday.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Now back to the grind;)

Steve
 
A piccie is a must :p 42" jeans I should imagine you can now get in one leg :eek: have you tried it? On second thoughts don't just incase you get stuck :8855:

Florida Wednesday, gosh thats come round quick. Have a fabby time. Enjoy yourself. Plans are underrated just as sanity is :p

Have an amazing holiday. You deserve it. and I expect Mr Motivator back on your return :) x

I hadn't realised it was so soon!

Have a fab time, which is a really stupid thing to say to someone who is going to Florida, because, really what else can you do;)

Gain over a stone for starters:eek:

I plan on getting my head into full-on SW mode on my return. My plans now involve getting a good tan and little else;)
I will have my Ipad and wifi so just think on I can abuse you all 5 hours in advance!:cool:

I just find it really difficult to actually sunbathe! - my boredom threshold is rubbish! - so sit or lie and do nothing is alien to me. I have my Kindle as well as Ipad and Ipod etc. to plenty to watch/listen to, but I prefer to be mooching around and (surprise surprise) talking to people!:eek:

Will probably have to go shopping Tuesday evening for last minute stuff (can't find half my holiday kit/shorts etc.:confused:)

At least I should stop complaining about the cold for a couple of weeks:D

Meant to ask Lynne, how on earth do you maintain target? I can usually reach target easy enough, but then the motivation and therefore the discipline seems to go AWOL.

I know Dawn feels similar to me in that maintaining is harder than losing. It's a different focus.

That's why I don't mind putting on as I can take it off again, and enjoy doing so.

Sooner or later though, I will have to stop this "boom or bust" scenario. It seems that the second I "relax" I pay for it on the scales:eek:

Might have to take it a bit more serious when I get to the third target:cry: Can't go on losing forever:sigh:
 
Enjoy yourself in Florida Steve - I'm not going to be around much for the next few days (Mum arriving tomorrow and it's all a bit hectic for the first 2 days whilst we go to collect a wheelchair and get the pills that she has forgotten).

Just go for swims, walk around, see the sights! I never sunbathe and I still get lovely and tanned!

I have only been at Target for a short time, and lost it completely the first week gaining 3.5lbs, but was still in range, as I was 1lb under when I got to Target.

I find the whole maintenance thing very hard, and seem to be only just about coping with it by having my weekends relatively off plan, well wine wise anyway, and then pulling it back in in the weekdays, if that makes sense?

I set myself a challenge of getting down to the lowest weight I can be in target, so that I could get my stone and half shiny, by the end of September, but I obviously am not going to do that now!...so, will have to reset it to end of October:eek:

It's hard isn't it Lynne?

Despite being at target (well...the target I originally set ) I'm still on plan as I daren't come off it! Even to the point where I'm still weighing my cereal and cheese...think I've become indoctrinated in to sw ways! I suppose the test will be my first wi on Thursday...

And how's young Stevie getting on then? Sorted the wardrobes out and got your cases packed hunni?

I forgot to check the fixtures yesterday but I will see when saints are up your way.

Be good x

Hello, World.
I didn't mean to be AWOL, but I was first signal-less and then hyper-busy.

If I don't speak to you before, Steve, have a great time in Florida.
Incidentally, will you be going shopping at all?
I just have one teeeeeeeeeny request, if you are!

Speak to you later, mate. I need a name for you to go with the Sassy. Not sure what, though. I'm thinking about it.
 
Just remember Sassy, I cannot and will not be labelled:p

Contrary to Popular (well, Dawn's) belief, I am not here for your gratification and amusement you know.:8855:

I'm all packed but freaking out because I cannot locate my favoured yellow shorts! - silly, I know, but annoying the hell out of me.

Of more concern is the packing of the electronics/gadgets. Apparently they cannot go in the hold but have to be in the hand lugage!

Mollusc, aka Shrimpy is the guru and past mater (mistress?) at maintaining - I guess we'll all have to pay more attention to "jonesy's Diary;)

Steve
 
Only if they're prezackly the same yellow. Otherwise they might clash horribly.
