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

[Elanor]

That's understandable I'm sure no-will mind if you bore us having the wi-fi is good, at least with being able to access the forum you can chat and get support.

 

[Hubz]

Not boring us at all.

 

[flashharry]

Aww Gemsta don't worry about your little slip. Your bike exercise and walk will help to counteract it, and as slimmerem said at least it wasn't an all out binge!

As you said it's all part of the journey, the ups and downs. Right now I'm on an 'up', but most of March was a huge struggle and my losses slowed right down. I don't know why, but I really wasn't feeling it. You'll be on the up again soon

It's the long term game that matters, and the overall direction is down, so you are still winning

have a great day today

 

[Gemsta]

[Gemsta]

Another 300 calories burnt on the bike today. Tea almost done and then chill for a couple of hours before work

 

[Elanor]

Your food is yummy today! I love a good spag bol I need to try the alpen jaffa bars. They haven't had them in Sainsbury's, and I haven't made it to Asda yet. Are they any good?

 

[Gemsta]

Yeah..I enjoyed it tonight. Feeling a bit lousy now though. Not sure why...I want to have a bath and curl up in bed with a dvd, but have work tonight. Hoping I perk up a bit otherwise it's going to be a long shift tonight..lol.. The jaffa ones are lovely! If you like jaffa cakes you will love these! I had to go to tesco for mine

 

[Jellybean33]

I think cos my weight is slowing down now I am getting a bit frustrated with it all and I think the fact going away soon is on my mind. I've sorted out Wi-fi for while we're away and plan on being fairly good so I'll be boring everyone here on my thread senseless with it and stopping by everyone else's to support

Gemsta, I can soooo relate to this! Since Easter my losses (and gains lol) have been up and down constantly between 10st and 10st 5lb with no losses that have been significant or maintained!!! So frustrating!

I'm trying to up my exercise this week and you talking about your new bike inspired me drag ours in from the conservatory (it was literally covered in cobwebs!!)! I did about 20-30 mins on that whilst watching some biggest loser and then did a 10 main abs workout! Hoping that'll account for around 200cals?!

But anyway, thanks for the inspiration!!!

 

[Elanor]

OOoo, Tesco is nearer than Asda! I will try there first. I love jaffa cakes! Haven't had one since before SW, so approaching a year! I just know that if I get a pack then they will all be gone in one sitting!

 

[pflorida]

Aww Gemsta hope your feeling better soon and enjoy your shift!!! Well done on all the exercise!! I went to get more Alpen bars from work (Tesco) but there not on offer anymore and are £1.99 a box!!! And there the only place I can find them so I wish I'd copied you and brought 6 boohoo!! xx

Sucks don' it! We will get there...its just going to take a while...lol.. I can burn 100 calories in about 10 minutes, so depending on your pace you may have done 200-300 calories on the bike alone. I ride whilst watching TV too..makes it go quicker Happy to have inspired you some chickadee

They are a bit moreish, but I find my 2 do tie me over. As Paige mentioned below your comment they are not on offer anymore, they were 3 for £3 and I brought 6 boxes..lol... But I bet sooner or later they come on offer again. The Lemon drizzle and Cherry Bakewell are nice too... I picked them up from B&M if you have one of them near you too?

Hiya Paige.... feeling still quite rough.. luckily my shifts do go quite quick once there off to bed with some more tablets in a bit hoping to sleep it off a bit. I kinda wish I'd brought some more now...lol.. But they will come back on offer sooner or later and hopefully some other places might get them in soon too cos I still need to try the banoffee one!!...lol..

 

[Gemsta]

Will update my diary later on after getting some sleep

 

[pflorida]

Aww I'm hope your feeling better soon! Looking forward to seeing your diary later!! See I usually get them from pound world/pound land but recently they've only had the fruit/raisin ones which are okay but not the best!! Omg the banoffee is probably my favourite Gemsta!! Hopefully we'll find them soon hehe!!

Hi Gemsta. Hope you rest well. I have been a bit lax getting around the diaries recently. Couple of family problems.
Not been the best this week but hope I have done enough for Friday.

I have got some frozen fish now and will be trying your fish and chips very soon. Thanks for putting the recipe on.
