new start, we have let things slip

[Forever Starting Over]

i want frou frou kindness for now - i shall have a peek at the scary thread when feeling braver!! aiming for 1lbs-2lbs this week xoxo

 

[Viva La Diva]

I know we all need frou frou sometimes, though I do wish sometimes that someone had really given me a good talking to years ago, apart from the nasty ignorant comments, as I think I was suffering from fat blindness !!! I would look in the mirror and think it wasn't THAT bad, to be fair, it was a TINY mirror, lol !!! The thread is HARD to read, but alot of it is how I already feel..... I am the ONLY one responsible for this weight, I bought the food, and stuffed it in my mouth !!! I am the ONLY one who can do something about it. Life may throw the odd hurdle or detour in my way, and I may ( and do ) stumble.... Who doesn't ???

How are you doing ??? I'm going to update my sig in a mo and then I'm off to walk, before it gets too hot here !! Busy week is keeping my miles lower than I would like, but hoping to ramp it up next week !!! Roll on the weekend !!

Hi Diva. I think I have sts although I dont trust my scales anmore so may have to consider buying some new electronic ones as im getting very confused with mine. Mine are the old fashioned ones with a needle and not digital but I had to change the allignment of the needle so instead of starting on the 0 it starts with a few pounds as it was under weighing in comparison to all other scales. I think I will just pick up a new set in a week. Or this could be how I get back in to the gym. A weekly weigh in in the gym would mean I had to go to the gym to get weighed and stay for a small workout. I am still struggling to go to the gym but hoping that I can make myself go in once at least before next Monday. Thats my mini goal - get to the gym once and also hopefully lose a pound but I guess I wont really know unless go and get weighed or go and buy scales. Feeling quite deflated at the moment. Whats interesting is I dont think I have put any weight back on since I have stopped going to the gym almost daily!! Aiming for a healthy day today. Food diary time too I think! Have a good week x

Hi FSO, bad ol' start to the week, I've had a three day tummy bug thing, so have done no exercise and have been feeling rough !! I swear these things wait until I set firm new targets and then strike, lol !!

Better today, did a quick walk and doing another one this p.m, once the temp drops, as it's hot here. Will just try to ramp it up from next week. I lost a pound this week, don't know what the scales will show next week, as they've dropped again, due to the bug thing, but now I feel better I want to EAT !!! Grrrr !!!

We can do this !!

Hi Diva
I made it into the gym and the scales said I am actually 11stone 4 and a half. I cant update my ticker which is annoying. Clicked on it but it wont go to the link to update. Maybe theres a tech issue. Not good re your tummy bug and yes it will be annoying if the weight has come down and now you put on. I guess we know to expect a potential gain next week in light of this but try and get back on track. I did a 45 min spinning class so at least I have made it though the gym doors again. I hope I can make myself go back before Monday. My bmi is now 25.6 which feels nice but I have been here many a time so theres no celebrating for me just yet!! Here's to another loss for Monday. I usually stick at 11stone 4lbs so think I might sit here for a while but I will try. I also think my loss is due to muscle loss as going to the gym almost everyday to going once a month will have had some impact so not sure if the loss really counts. Anyway lets wait for Monday. Stay strong xoxo

 

[Forever Starting Over]

okay - so i have bought some brand new scales as all these different measurements are driving me crazy. So my new weight as per my new digital bathroom scales is 11st 6 and a quarter. I am going to stick to these for weigh ins on Monday. Went to the gym yesterday - just 30 mins and I am aching!!!! I never used to ache but Im guessing thats because I have stopped working out for almost 2 months - scary!! Aim for next week to get my own scales to say 11st 4 and a half - that would be a great start!! Hope youre scales are being nice to you xoxo

 

[Forever Starting Over]

its my birthday in less than 3 weeks. Please let me see 11 stone 4 bang on on the scales - pretty pleaaaaassseeeeeee

 

[Viva La Diva]

Hi FSO, oh gawd, I hate scales !!! Not just the number I see, but because, it is always bloody different !!! I've had old fashioned dial ones, electronic ones, and superduper electronic ones, and I still hate them ALLLLLL !!!!!

I got a STS and I have a big weigh in in two weeks at my Doc's on their hateful scales, boooo !!!


Also, saw a sneaky photo taken of me by Mr D ( he didn't mean too, but caught me in the shot !!) taken from behind , and unflattering and I look HUGE still !! Grrrrrrrr !!! It was enough to get me into gear for this week's walking target !!

[Forever Starting Over]

Mean Mr D - but perhaps it will give you the motivation you need!! Yes doctors scales are mean too so I hope everything goes ok. I have put my new scales away now until next Monday as will try and not weigh myself until Monday now as I tend to weigh often. Good luck with the walking. I have tomorrow off work so planning a couple activities - will let you know if I survive them!! ps I am throwing my old scales (dial ones) out. Wouldnt it be great to get rid of all the scales!!!

 

[Forever Starting Over]

Diva I am still aching so bad from Sunday's gym session. I never used to ache when I was at the gym almost daily!!! I am booked for a person introductory lesson on the climbing wall at 11am and then for an introductory lesson to horse riding too but I am hurting sooooooo bad. Am I making excuses to not go?!!! I dont think I am. I think I will go to the climbing session at 11am and cancel the horse riding if they will let me. I just dont think I will enjoy it so much being so sore. I will call them at 9am and see if I can cancel - I hope so. I would then be able to go and attempt climbing at 11am and then come home and study for the rest of the day which I think would be better. Last day of leave and then back to work tomorrow. I wish I could lose the rolls so I had a smoother sillouette when I wear clothes!!! aaaaggghhhh!! rant over xoxo

 

[Forever Starting Over]

ok so the climbing wall was great fun and horseriding can wait for another day! I am achy however. Really want to check weight - havent checked since Monday and normally weigh in most days so finding this horrible. But must try and resist any peeks. Hope your week is going okay x

 

[Viva La Diva]

I'm here, lurking away, looking for ideas and inspiration, as usual !! I am also thinking about horse riding, something I haven't done since I was a child ( not anything posh, lol, didn't have a pony or go to pony club, just had a few tries and loved it !!) We have some nice stables around here, but I want to be at target before I sign up for a big ol' training package of like twenty lessons, etc ) My bottom is still too big for a saddle !!!

Hi Diva. I have never done it before and don't think I will be doing it for a while yet. I think you could make that a reward when you get to a certain weight!! I was back at the climbing wall last night as signed up for a 4 week course so thats my Thursday evening filled for the next 4 weeks. Theres only 1 other girl in the group with me so it's really nice and such a laugh and laughs is what the doctor ordered. I must be working muscles etc too so I am sure it must be helping with the whole weight loss thing too. Perhaps toning? I must go to the gym this weekend as i havent been since sunday but I count my 2 visits to the climbing wall as 2 activities. ohhhhhh - i sneaked a peek yesterday!!! I gave in to the scales but will really try hard to not look until Monday now!! Have a good weekend xoxo

 

[Forever Starting Over]

I stayed the same. Not fair as I felt I resticted my diet for most of the week but it is totm so perhaps I should see a loss when its over. :-(

 

[Forever Starting Over]

Hi Diva
Hope your weekend is going well. I have climbing tonight and a friend's birthday meal. I havent been in to the gym though so will aim to go once this weekend. Hope you are okay xoxo

 

[Viva La Diva]

Hi FSO, I'm around, lurking, but not posting much !! Naughty, I know !! Having a break from WIs for three weeks or so now, until new medication kicks in ( bad weight gain, bloating ) and then settles down ( weight loss hopefully ) I just hate the false results I get during this time, grrrrr !!! Not going to go crazy and eat everything, just going to carry on, a day at a time !!
Mr D and I were planning a great weekend hitting a new National Park near us, we do a whole day there, take a picnic, we follow the trails, etc, notch up some good miles walking, etc, but the temps are going mad again and it's heading up to like 98 degrees again, so we may have to revise it for another weekend. The joys of Summer here !!

Have fun climbing !! Good exercise !!!


Diva x

 

[Forever Starting Over]

National Park sounds amazing as so does the picnic!! Hope you get to go. You are having a very hot summer so I can understand why you may need to reschedule. Makes sense re your WIs - dont be so hard on yourself though. No plans for the weekend except to focus and get some study/ reading done etc and try to get in to the gym but lets see. Have a good one xoxo

 

[Forever Starting Over]

Did you get to go to the National Park? Hope you had a good weekend. Its almost the weekend again. The days are flying by!! Hope youre having a good week x

 

[Viva La Diva]

Hi FSO, didn't make it to the parks, the Heatwave here at the moment is crazy, and we are being warned not to spend too much time outside !!! Grrrrrrr !! Temp is up in the high 90s and last night it was still like 80 degrees at 11 p.m !!! Lol !!!

We spent the day at a Shopping Mall, hehe , air conditioned and a big ol' dose of retail therapy..... Perfect !!!! Hehe !!!

I'm plodding along with my meds, feeling SOO bloated and just heavy, but trying not to go crazy with the food, but you know it's a viscious circle.... Feeling rough, no exercise makes me feel worse, leading to thoughts of what can I snack on....but I'm going to get through this and then straight back on it !!! If I took any longer than these three weeks off, I'll be over a stone heavier !!! It's crazy how quickly I can regain.....boo !!!

How are you doing ?? Has FB abandoned us ??

Diva x

 

[Forever Starting Over]

Hiya. Mall sounds great - always up for retail therapy. You havent told me what op you have had. Are you ok? I really hope you recover soon and are following the doctors orders!! Im away for a few days with my mum but it will involve lots of food so no weigh in for me on Monday as wont be here. I think as FB hit her goal weight she no longers posts perhaps- Im guessing that is the case. Enjoy your weekend and take care xoxo
