I must admit Em, my personal preference is for 'proper English.' I still text in whole words with punctuation! It is quite handy though, to know the latest abbreviations and what they stand for. Actually, working with teenagers, it is essential!
I should think they would transfer quite well to pro points, as I was on WW before, and haven't really changed my meals that much,
I think it is all just 'so...' - so many pounds to lose, so few hours in the day for exercise, so many years yo-yo-ing, so many diets, plans, so much stomach sticking out in clothes (!) etc. Putting it all together has left me feeling a bit down. Weight has gone down this week - see below, but still feeling overwhelmed by it all. Slumpy grump just seemed to sum it up well!
That exercise/inflammation thing is such a swine! When you have worked really hard on the exercise and 'gain' weight from it, although we know it is not a real gain, it is still quite demoralising! You're right about the not WANTING to have to think about eating, it's almost like a mini tantrum!
Anyway, on a better note, WI this morning shows 2lb gone. I am pleased, but even that is lessened by how easily I gained that 4lbs, and can probably expect it to take 3 weeks to get it back off. Anyway, I am resigned to whatever I can get off before Christmas. Walked about 10 miles altogether last week, so that's got to be good however you look at it. Haha- even my 'phone is out to get me - it just auto corrected 'gained' to 'failed'
Food looking great, your menus always sound amazing!!! Will try pro pointed a few of them x

"Slumpy grump" needs to come into general usage. Great description. And unfortunately pretty much how I feel about my weight at the moment too. Sounds like you did really well not to let it affect your choices though. Things will change and the numbers will go down. I think we both have to just keep believing that.

I think we all hit those moments. I felt like giving up on the diet thing fri/sat because I was so tired that I didn't WANT to think about what I was eating and plan it out and was so grumpy that I'd had a large (because of water and inflammation) fake-gain despite doing LOTS of moving and working this last week so it felt all counter productive.
I assume given how shattered you must feel from returning to work and all the extra stresses that you will be feeling the same but as you settle back in and get moving and grooving again it WILL get better. It always does! You WILL feel better for being able to move easier and with less strain on your bones.
Good luck hun!
