ola!
Hey u guys,
Im home from london - been away for 5 days - and i have to say im so happy to be back home and be able to get into a good healthy routine again - i was away last week as well so it feels like i have been out of a routine for 2 weeks.
I did eat healthy when I was away - lots of no fat salads, sushi, maintenance bars, I did have 2 meals with carbs. I only drank black coffee and water. I still reckon my calorie count was too much though - I never wrote it down everyday - but i reckon i was still in the 1200-1800 calorie bracket most days and maybe over it 2 days.
I have booked exercise classes for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I can honestly say I have been craving exercise and being able to prepare my own food again.
Coming into work this morning and reading all the supportive posts from you guys really lifted me - I cant thank you enough.
I have stopped smoking 2 weeks now and I am not having any cravings anymore so the desire to snack has gone.
I know the last 2 weeks havent been ideal in regards to my diet and exercise but I feel confident that the next few weeks will see me back where I want to be.
Thanks again to u all!
you will do it Julz you have a great attitude and will succeed lots of luck x
Thanks pet!
xox
Good luck Julz, you will do it.
Thank you for your honesty, it really helps me realise how easily the weight can creep back on.
Reminds me of the time when I was about 55kg or so and spent a week with a friend of mine who eats chocolate non-stop, by the end of the week my trousers didn't fit me! I wish I had of done something about it then!
Yeah it deffo can creep on - its def mind over matter - just need to keep focused - i feel great and i never want to loose this feeling xox
Don't sweat it babe, you caught it in time, and if anyone knows what needs to be done its you!! Its those little things that make the difference the extra cappuchino,the nibbles etc. I know I just cant have any, cause if I do I won't stop. There is an open box of Roses chocolates in my office all week and I have to walk past them about 50 times a day, but you know what?? I will not have one, cause then there will be an empty box of roses in my office!! Kinda feels good knowing I am stronger than chocolate!! Good luck this week, although I know you will do great. Enjoy London!! xx
Just looking at ur signature and u weight loss is brilliant - u have not put on - wow - thats so good babe - really i feel in awe of u! Im so determined and ur post has really helped me. You are a true inspiration xoxox
Julzie, you rock babe! I've only just managed to find your re-feed thread but have been avidly reading through it. Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so honest with writing down everything you have eaten. That will be so helpful to others when they come to refeed. Also, congrats on the new man hun, hope everything lives up to your expectations when you eventually get round to you know what!! Ha ha. Just kiddin.
Don't worry about the 4lb on Julz. At least you are addressing the situation before it gets out of hand which is what I have always said I will do once I stop LT. I think you have to put it in perspective too and realise that we're all human and are all going to be tempted to eat crap every now and again. Having said that, life is full of temptations every day and I'm sure you will soon work out a healthy balance that works for you. You have done SO well Julz and should be really proud of your achievements with the weight loss and also with smoking. A couple of days cutting back and I'm sure that extra 4lb will budge! Good luck hunni xxxx
Hey Sarah! So good to hear from u babe!
Hows motherhood???? Hope all is good with u!
Yeah I decided to be 100% honest about everything I eat. I know the last 2 weeks havent been good - but with lovely posts like this I feel so encouraged that I can turn it around and stay on top of it.
It makes me determined also that I can show people that even if u do mess up and put weight on that you can loose it again and stay in control. It is very much a learning process.
I am so happy to have found Michael - he is lovely - and we get on sooo good!!! Its amazing (although i have to say he has not been good for my waist line - but im deffo going to be more strict now and not have all the treats we were having!)
I dont think I will be dissappointed when we
- he drives me crazyyyyyyyy... omg - i dont think i have ever felt this away - it mad! lol
Thanks for ur support and Im looking forward to reporting i have lost my 4 pounds!
Look forward to hearing how things are with u babe...

dont worry about the 4 lbs julz - as u say u havent drank enough this week - get glugging and all the water retention u have accumulated will vanish.
hugsss
Hey gorgeous! Hows u??? Deffo need to up the water intake, im sure I am going to be fine - I feel so focused and determined after reading all these posts...

Hi Julz, it really is great that we're still weighing in regularly so any weight-gain can be nipped in the bud. I'm sure you'll lose the 4lb and stay on course. You can do it!
I can do it! And I am doing it!
Gald to be back home and feel in control over diet and exercise again - 2 weeks I will have it off for sure!
Hows u going babe?? xox
