I may lose some battles but I'll win the war.

Thanks. It feels quite good to be back even if the food isn't back yet. The mood at least is getting there. Hopefully I'll have a few good days before the w/end when I have already decided to go with the flow. Just make the healthiest choices I can and not stress about it. I don't do holidays often after all.

Hopefully I'll get my full focus back after the weekend. :)
 
Happy Monday! :D
 
good evening, hope you have had a good day at work xxx

just popping in to say hi really :D:D:D:D:D
 
Hey sweetie, well I think that post of yours applies to most of us....I struggle some days to do or even care about doing anything.....another day I feel full of the joys of spring and can't wait to get up and go....I swear if Mal, Kirsty and Mark weren't here I'd be saying exactly what you said, sometimes I think it's just easier to do a little when you feel you can rather than crucify yourself for not doing it, same with weight loss...I am struggling badly and have been for 3 months, I am still 10lb heavier than I was then, I have a good few days and then I have a bad week then a good few days and so on, but what I have learnt over the last 4 years (almost) of losing weight is to ride the storm and not give in to it.....I know that one day (hopefully soon) I will find that spark again and I will start really getting on with my journey, until then I am going to go with the flow, keep on trying and not beat myself up everytime I don't make it through a week completely SW friendly....cos otherwise all I'll do is go back to my original weight and some, knowing me and that will not happen I can assure you, so I am up for the long haul and I hope you'll join me unless of course you find the miracle that makes us shed the lot overnight and then I expect you to share it :giggle:
Have a fabulous evening lovely Patsy :hug99: xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Lily it's lovely to hear from you again. It's good to know there's more then just me having problems ATM. Today has been better though, well so far at least. Hopefully that will be it for the day.

I do like the idea of losing it all overnight and trust me if I did you would not need the aid of a puter to hear me tell you about it. It would be one secret I would share happily (well after copyrighting it anyway)

However as things stand I will be with you for the long haul and will be happy to share my journey with you, and anyone else who wants to join in. :bighug:

Morning lovely, how exciting, are ya off to anywhere nice, hang on let me rephrase that, anywhere away from home is nice right lol, so I will ask again, where are you going on your hols, I bet it's somewhere nice (If you've already said i'm sorry, but I can't and don't have time to read back on all the diaries I need to catch up on :eek:)
I can't wait to start packing for my hols, do you think it might be a bit early to start now ? we go away in August :giggle:
Joking apart I am a little bit serious, I have all my clothes ready to go but they are 1 to 2 sizes too small for me ...if I pack them I'll have to get into them, maybe use that as an incentive, what do ya think?

Have a lovely day sweetie and I hope it's sunny where you are :hug99: xxxxxxx

I off on Friday to Newtonmore in the Highlands with a coach load of older folks from the "Lunch Club" from a neighbouring village. It's really my mums trip and officially I'm going to make sure she's OK. But I'm looking on it as a jolly for me too. Lots of scenery and I believe there a steam train trip organised and visits to some local sights.

Staying in a nice hotel but hoping to make some sensible food choices but unlikely to be on plan, but I don't do holidays often so what the heck. Thinking I'll take the lappy as the hotel has Wi-fi so I don't co completely off the rails. I even got a couple of NSVs during my prep when I had to go buy a few new tops as hte ones I had were way too big.

It's another lovely day here so far but as I'm in the office I try not to think about it too much. Hope you're feeling more like your usual self after your good sleep. I think you were probably also pining for minis.

:bighug:
 
You'll be counting down the minutes til you go! have a great holiday! never really visited that much of Scotland yet myself (even though i've lived up here for just over 8 years!!) so let me know what it's like! :hug99:

Hi Patsy, just had a flick through your diary, well done on a great loss so far, I'd love to be 40lb off already!! I lose slowly but that's o.k, don't feel deprived and it's taken me 20yrs to put it on...going to take a while to shift!! I'm off on my hols next week, going to Mallorca to visit my family there, staying in a spa hotel with my youngest daughter.....going to try and make good choices and limit the damage, but it is my hols so I'm not going to make myself miserable with it!! I must say you really don't seem to eat alot, I think I'd be very hungry and if I didn't do loads of super free I'd be at a standstill!! Socialising is my downfall..to much wine!!! but this diet works in different ways for different people!! Have a lovely holiday and enjoy!! xx
