Going it alone...so my diary and you I hope become my group! :)

Yeah I am the same with the syrup in my coffee, there is just no other way. Half and half with truvia might do it, good idea (I'm still not giving up on my syrup lol) I have a cappuccino so I have to limit anyway as any more than two drinks and I don't have any HexA left for the day and have to syn the milk.

 

[Gemsta]

Wow Gemsta your pics are fantastic! You can really see the difference! One thing is the same though, you've got the same socks on

Lol! Not quite, a slight different variation But if they were I could assure you I'd not had them on since August last year!

I don't blame you! Syns are all about having what you fancy within reason

So Friday and weigh in day! Result = -1.5lb

So better than last week, not as much as I was hoping for following * week, but still a step in the right direction and I've regained my 3 1/2 stone award I had to take off last week

 

[Gemsta]

Oooh ooh ohh! Just updated my stats and have realised I've now gone over 50lbs lost! Can also add my half century thingy now too

 

[Gemsta]

So after weigh in I feel back on track again. But I want to track how much speed etc I'm eating now and watch my portion control this week to see if it helps at all. So I'm going to try and colour code my food here so I have a at a glance look so to speak..won't hurt to try right? Going to use red for syns as I usually do, orange for free, green for super, blue for HE, pink for protein

Also, my sports bras arrived yesterday (bargain off sportsdirect and £3 each) so I'm going to have a go at Charlotte's DVD. Wish me luck!..lol..

This morning I manged the warm-up and 6 rounds of Charlotte's DVD..more than the first time and I was still knackered!..lol...

Ray came home and put anew tap on the bath (Yay, we can now have showers again and a bath without waiting 1 hour to fill!) I finished putting up my new shabby chic bits in the hall after wallpapering last weekend. Got all the washing done and most the housework. Going to finish the rest tomorrow before heading off to see Mrs Browns Boys! Can't wait!

Been fairly good today, will continue with my colour coding as I think it is good to see at a galnce. Even if it's a PITA to do..lol..

Hi Paige, I find it knackering...lol.. There's 13 3 minute rounds plus the warm up and warm down...not that I've got to the warm down yet!...lol.. I think you might be able to see clips somewhere online to see if you'd like it. I guess it's bit like boxercise? But she reckons she does it 4 times a week and she has a cracking figure now (it shows her at the beginning too) I struggle a bit with co-ordination...lol.. but I only do it when I'm on my own of course

 

[LittleOne83]

Diary looking good.
And don't worry about your little splurge, happens sometimes but the key is drawing a line and getting back on it which you're doing! X

 

[TDQ]

Glad you had a good time and 1 splurge won't hurt as I know you will be back on track with one eye on your holiday

 

[tatabubbly]

Gemsta! Well done on the half century!!

The tops look amazing, I'll defo be ordering a few wee bits for the honeymoon I think!

Thanks LittleOne. I still feel guilty about it today. I could have chosen better, though I saw no option of jacket potato on any of the meals to see I could have asked for that instead of chips with a steak. New day today though with the clock change and late night I've missed breakfast..lol..
