Thanks, Lexie. I've decided to ramp up the walking this week and hopefully that will help me along. I am still eating as and when I can and there isn't always a healthy option available (In a hospital! Why am I not surprised?) The exercise helps me mentally too, there's nothing quite like a brisk hour along the (very cold, wet, breezy) shore with the dog twice a day to help put things in perspective and iron out the kinks caused by sitting by a hospital bed for hours. Hoping for a loss on Tuesday or Wednesday when I weigh in but we'll see how it goes,

Still going well with food and exercise. I have added a little bit of toning so my arms and stomach are aching today!
Birthday weekend coming up and I have already decided to send out for pizza for all of us so totally off plan but that's ok, I'm ready for it, it's only one day after all. Still determined to be as close to goal as possible by my holidays in August so got to keep going!

Soooo, if I can lose 2 pounds a week I will be at goal by the time I go on my holidays in August. Not sure that is actually achievable to be honest as it will get harder to lose as time goes on but 1-1.5 pounds a week would still have me a lot closer than I am now! With that in mind I'm going to set a new goal to lose 30 pounds by then. I'm not sure if it's doable but I'll never know unless I try. We are going to the same place as last year and I felt so uncomfortable and had no nice clothes to wear, I am trying to imagine myself there again this year only on my nice summer clothes and feeling much more comfortable! That will be my motivation hopefully. This is birthday week so this weekend will be a dodgy one, then it's full steam ahead after that.

AND changing weigh in until a Friday I think. It always was but I restarted on 1st January which happened to be a Tuesday. Back to Friday now which suits my life better.

Oh dear what a terrible few days I have had food wise, why do I do this? Full on binge but back on track. I suppose as long as I keep getting back on the wagon things aren't so bad. It has been birthday weekend so some small excuse. Pizza and cheesy dough balls last night was gorgeous but now all the nice stuff has gone I'm back to it today and exercise too. Lots of time spent at the hospital past few days mean exercise goes by the wayside a bit. I think these things go hand in hand, exercise doesn't happen and food increases at the same time. Knock on effect! Didn't weigh in on Friday either so I'm going to try and leave it until next Friday and see how it goes. Still hoping to make my Easter goal!

I quick hop on the scales shows a 2 pound gain since taking the scenic route at the weekend. Official weigh in isn't until Friday so hoping to have some of that shifted by then. Back on track, I've made some soup (just chucked in what I had so it's parsnip, carrot, leek and cabbage) and that should keep me going. I am eating far too much bread but I have shopped for the week so at the start of next week I'm going to cut that down as much as I can (I do love it though!) We are out on Saturday night for dinner with my husband's family, hoping to be able to keep things under control food wise.

So...my Father died after a long illness, 2 weeks ago. One thing the Irish do especially well is wakes and funerals with copious amounts of food and of course alcohol. Many family members coming and going as you would imagine, meals out, many toasts to absent friends, not to mention Easter, and the upshot of it all is a whopping 7 pound gain. I'm hoping since it went on quickly at least some of it will come off quickly too. Back on the wagon this morning, I'll weigh in on Friday to get things back on track. Drink will be back to Friday and Saturday night only and exercise is back on the agenda so wish me luck,

Thank you everyone. A good day yesterday although little or no exercise as smallest son wasn't back at school from Easter. Went back today so my usual 2 mile school run with the extra piano run tacked on the end of the return leg. I'm going to go out again tonight for another good long walk all being well. Food all good today too and I've made soup full of veg and very little else in it so that will keep me going. I can't say I'm fully back in the zone but heading in the right direction.

4 pounds off since Monday (started on Monday but plan to weigh in on Friday) so I'm very happy with that. Pretty much all good on the food and exercise front, hopefully I can keep that going over the weekend which can be a problem for me.

I am so sorry for your loss, mt thoughts are with you. I hope you're doing ok. X
I do know what an irish wake is like ( down here anyway) more like a wedding than a funeral sometimes.

Thanks, Rach, and you're absolutely right!
Not doing too badly today, weekends are difficult for me but I'm doing my best and managed to make pizza (my favourite) for everyone else and I had soup-carrot, parsnip and lentil- with a ham and laughing cow blue sandwich. Was gorgeous I have to say. Having a cheeky vodka tonight too, only allowed on Fridays and Saturdays. So not perfect by any means but better than it used to be!

I love the laughing cow blue
I love blue cheese full stop but obviously on the xenical cant have it. Can't get the laughing cow blue here but my parents were over recently and fetched me some. I know still not really a loud but one wont do too much harm. Hope you enjoyed your few drinks tonight. we can't be angels all the time
