Gail's diary and thoughts on her SW journey

[Maverick]

Have a fab holiday lady, can't wait to hear all about it! xx

Enjoy Florida hun. Are you going to all the theme parks? If you go to Universal think of me when you go on the awesome Spiderman 3D ride as that is literally my favourite ride of all time and I wish I was on it now. Enjoy your food and let your hair down but it's a good idea that you're going away with "Don't want to lose my 5 shiny" in mind too as it will stop you going too mad. Hope you have the best time!

PS I'm going to stock up on Scan Bran at class tonight. You have been warned!

OMG. I'm so envious. I love Florida. Can't wait to see your photos. Have a fab time Gail.

Hugs

Hi Gail, just to say have a fantastic holiday!

Xxx

Well I know I'm sad for posting while I'm away but I am because I miss you all !

Holiday is going really well. Kids are happy and no major family arguments (yet !!!). However it chucked it down today which wasn't great but it didn't really spoil the day.

Food is a bit mixed. I'm definitely turning things down (without feeling too deprived) which is good and I don't mind that I'm having a lot more syns than usual because it's a holiday but I was a bit of a pig this morning and had 1.5 chocolate brownies and a small pastry (which I didn't need) as well as all the fruit and tastes of some other stuff. However lots of body magic in the pool and lots of walking will definitely help.

Will keep you posted

Gail xx

Sounds like you have the right attitude. Enjoy it, holidays are for letting your hair down and just chilling. Any gains will be minimised by all that exercise and by being back on plan when you get back! Keep us updated and take lots of piccies of you, of scenery, of food!!! I needs my food porn!

Thanks Shrimpy

Just remembered a couple of other things,

1. The villa has scales. So I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow - I'm not bothered what the numbers say, it will just help me to see roughly which way they are going while I'm away.

and 2. Another NSV - I don't mind being in photos. That has never ever been the case in my life

[Shrimpy]

That's such a BIG NSV Gail, well done!

 

[Pinkie1973]

Ah the photos! That's wonderful, and I know what you mean. I always seem to be the massive walrus in any shots of me, and I want lots of pics of me for the bairn to remember me by. Glad you're having a great time. Don't obsess with those scales! (Though I'd be in them every day I'm sure!) Have fun chica xx

Good for you on both counts Gail!

I was looking at photos on the computer last night. There aren't many of me, I always hold the camera, and looking at the few pics of me I can see why! I knew I was big but oh dear...the rolls of belly fat and HUGE flabby arms are a shock to see. I'm still 2 stones overweight now so quite a way to go...goodness knows what people must hav thought of me when I was carrying another three! I'll put some pics on my page when I get a minute, giv u a laff!

Take care xx

Glad you're enjoying your holiday Gail, sounds like you're doing great with food.

Fantastic NSV as well!

Hey Gail hope you're having a lovely time. It's kind of grey-skied here in Mancland. Nothing of interest to report. xxxx

 

[Bess]

Not sad at all Gail, it's lovely to hear from you!
Great about not minding being in pictures as well. Have a wonderful time. x

 

[Jane R]

So glad that you are having a good time Gail, you deserve it. x

 

[Maximus]

Well done Gail! - relax and enjoy!

Florida is the least SW_friendly place on the planet (as I can testify). I was good for the first few days, then exploded!

It would have been so much worse without all the walking etc.

However......

As you know, I lost 6lb on the first week back and last week the other half pount and am spot-on 11st 4lb - my target and Florida binge-fest is a mere memory.

I also posted from there and when I return in September (yay!) will be on all the time as the villa has free wifi!

Eat, drink and be merry. So long as you get back on plan on the return.

Please find me some decent eateries - oh and check-out Olive Garden for yourself

OMG! I weigh more than you Steve!!!

 

[gl12282]

OMG! I weigh more than you Steve!!!

Don't worry Dawn - me too !!

I know I'm still quite overweight too but I just feel amazing compared to where I started so I really don't care

Went shopping today Bought a few tops (some in a size 10 ie UK 14 - Waaaahaaaay !). Amazed that I fitted into them considering what I ate for lunch. Went to Logans - one of my favourite places in the world. So I really don't mind what I ate there at all - it was worth it. Still doing plenty of exercise - have been in the pool 3 times today . Hoping tomorrow is a good day for food though.

Got on the scales today - they aren't digital so probably not that accurate. I think they are probably about 3-4 lbs under mine at home but I don't care, it's just the comparison that I'm looking at to try to make sure that I don't gain loads and loads this fortnight.

Am very relaxed and happy though and have realised just how much I needed a holiday

[Shrimpy]

You're making me jealous!!! I'm starting to crave an off plan day! I wanna go to Bodeen's in London and get me some pulled pork sandwiches. *drool*

Woo! For new clothes, especially in a size 10 (US).

You're totally putting me to shame, I have not yet managed ONE gym session since breaking up on Friday.

 

[Pinkie1973]

Hey Gail! You sound so relaxed and chilled; it's lovely!

Yes doesn't she?

 

[skinnydawn]

Oh Gail, what a joy and a pleasure it is to read your post...and what a contrast to the last couple of weeks! You keep enjoying yourself hunni!!
Great news on the new tops too. It's funny how theraputic shopping can be...especially when u have a wider choice and clothes actually FIT you!
Piccys when u get home pls xx
