My Diary

[Alex_1978]

You and me both KB - I think 6lbs in two days is my record so far, and I wasn't even trying

Ah well, life is for living and there's no way I would be depriving myself on my summer holiday either (if I was having one.....) so I hope you have a wonderful time, and take care of Mr V for me...I think he's visiting me tonight before you go

I don't know about you, but the think I find difficult to get my head around is that holidays and special occasions are about ENJOYING food rather than just an excuse to eat everything in sight! So I hope you do enjoy whatever lovely food and drink you choose on holiday, and that you come back feeling ready to kick some a** in the summer challenge.

Have a lovely time xx

I think if you make sure you get out and about quite a bit while you're away it might negate the food a bit?

Just enjoy yourself!!

I also missed my loony bin mate!
Well I'm back from my hols in one piece, had a great time and the sun even shone for a lot of it, any of you know Donegal you'll know this is unusual to put it mildly. I ate and drank everything in sight without giving it a second thought but have now come to the point where I am actually looking forward to getting back to healthy eating sad as that might seem. The plan is that tomorrow is a "transition" day where I still eat but try to get my head back in the right place, then I'll weigh in on Monday, I'm fully expecting at least a half stone gain. Back on the pills on Monday too and then we'll see what dent I can make in the gain by my usual weigh in day of Friday. So that's all from me, I hope everyone is well and happy and you've been having good weeks. I'll post the damage on Monday,

I shall cross my fingers that it's not too bad!! Glad you enjoyed your holidays

Ahem! Update please!

 

[KittyBling]

I can't update, I'm too busy hanging my head in shame...
But I suppose I need to get it over and done with although I'm nearly afraid to write it down here. I did actually contemplate lying it's so bad... But I'd only be lying to myself. So here goes. Are you ready? Sure? I managed to put on a very impressive 9 pounds! Can you believe it? At least it shows I'm good at something. Pity I'm not as good at getting it off again. So I am about to change my ticker, and my details here and work very hard, see how much I can shift before Friday. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it will all be nearly gone and it will have been worth it. Any longer than that and I'm not quite sure. I've been to Tesco and got my shopping this morning so no excuses at all. Going to count some calories as well as fat and see how it goes. Have a great day!

I'm sure you'll get it off in no time!!

 

[KittyBling]

I'm also thinking that this may be a false reading of some type, I know I ate plenty and drank plenty but to put on 9 pounds in a week would make you think I'd been stuffing myself at every available opportunity and eating every meal in McD's which just wasn't the case. Anyway, we'll see...

Welcome back And well done on posting the gain, and not just lurking in the background until it's gone again!
As you know, I'm the queen of fast weight gains, so you really do have my sympathy there...but don't lose sight of the fact that this was your main summer holiday, you ate what you wanted, and hopefully enjoyed the food you ate. 9lbs may seem like a large gain, but over the course of the year, in context with the weight you've already lost, and the weight you will lose, it's a mere drop in the ocean.
I agree that some of it may be a false reading, and I reckon you can get rid of at least a few of those pounds by Friday. Just don't make the mistake I did after London - I got dishearted when all the weight wasn't gone within a couple of weeks, and went and had a good old binge for a couple of days, making things even worse!

So...onwards and downwards now, otherwise you're going to make Katie's life WAYYYYY too easy!!!

And we can't have that, no way, right I'm off out for a VERY long walk, there's going to be so much less of me when I get back.
Thanks, Alex I really do appreciate your support.

OK first day back on the healthy eating plan and back on the tabs and it does feel good. Got the Tesco shop done this morning so I'm well set up. I'm counting calories too via my fitness pal. I'm not getting my usual school run walking of course so I have roped in a friend of mine and we took a long (about 3.5-4 miles) walk along the shore, lovely evening and I feel GOOD now. Ask me again in the morning when I can't get out of bed.
Goodnight all,

Didn't feel too bad today all things considered...Good on the food front and have been rushing around all day with the kids, then walked for 2 hours this evening so all good.
Very quiet around here isn't it? Hope all is well with everyone,

Weight in today, 3 off since Monday so no complaints, not a great day today as I was out for lunch but could have been worse, onwards and downwards

i'll say it again! Wooooop woooooop!

Humph! Bingey day yesterday but trying to trail it back today. Mr V was here last night and that's never good, drink in, wit out and I ate a whole packet of M&S reduced fat (not low fat, just reduced) crisps. I usually buy these on a Friday and have half a bag on Friday and half on Saturday. Didn't go according to plan though... Never mind. Going to start a 30 day challenge on the Wii "Active" today to keep me in check. Have a great weekend everyone!

Just popping in to say hello, and well done on the 3lbs - that's pretty good going in just a few days. Hopefully the rest of it will be gone in no time. Maybe we should ban holidays, weekends and any other situation that might put temptation in our path...it'd be so much easier wouldn't it? (maybe a bit boring though)

Good luck with the 30 day challenge - my Wii is only being used as a set of scales at the moment, so I need to get my arse into gear with that - especially with all the eating out I've been doing lately

Have a great weekend

Evening all, hope you're well. All going really well here. Food is under control although dodgy at the weekend as usual. It's better since then and I'm killing myself exercising too. I've started another 30 day challenge on the Wii "Active" moderate intensity, so I did that Sat and Sun, rest day Monday although I played tennis with the kids and a friend of mine for an hour, nearly finished me off. "Active" again today and then an hour of walking with the kids along the shore, finishing with ice cream for them and nothing for me. I'm hoping for a good loss again this week, I want to lose the holiday weight by the end of next week if possible, fingers crossed.
