New Year... New Start - onwards and downwards.

Just talking to him now and he said he doesn't want a present. Said he had to have one so he's requested a book to read while we're there lol He's also been very specific with his cake order! Chocolate with white and milk choc shavings on top! Men are so demanding lol

Lol! Sounds like a gorgeous cake, Aaron has taste.....but of course he does, he chose our caz :) :)
 
You know Squeezy, I like you more and more each day!

Reckon I'll just take my own cake with us. Don't want to rely on the hotel, especially with his specific request! Can you take a cake away with you?!
 
Well flight gets in at 11.15peso officially be his birthday by the time we get to the hotel. Maybe we'd have to have a midnight snack haha Will email the hotel and ask them. It'll be our first day there so won't have time to suss out where to find a cake!
 
Now I want cake!! Midnight snack anyone?? :) Imaginary of course, don't want to be responsible for ruining any diets. ;)
 
I would have died for a big piece of gooey, creamy chocolate cake last night!! Just talking about it was torture I tell you, torture! lol Will just ask the hotel about a cake and if they don't sort it, I'll take him... a birthday biscuit haha

Weighed myself again this morning, I know I know! I just wanted to check yesterday wasn't some strange anomaly and I actually weigh more lol 0.2lbs down from yesterday so firmly under 237 now, yay! Looking like I'll end up with a 2-2.5lb loss this week which, under normal circumstances, would be a good loss but isn't that great for a diet like this. So definitely going to stop having protein meals in the week, see if that helps. Some people have said that they don't lose so well on them though, technically, losses should be the same. So I'll give it a couple of weeks without them and see how it goes. Doing better with my water, drank about 2.25 litres yesterday, plus 900ml in packs, so well above the 2.5-3L they suggest. Just need to try and keep doing that! Could help with my losses too.

Whatever happens, going to just keep on with it. I've got a night out in 4 weeks that I have to look good for and a holiday in *checks countdown* 199 days that I have to look even better for!
 
Good morning Miss Sneaky Peeker!! hee hee ;)..Well done on heading towards a couple of pounds loss and upping the water intake :)

Approx 28? weeks until holiday..even 1lb a week loss, would equal 2 stone lighter than you are right now! :)

Have a good Sunday hun x
 
Ah ok Amy, I might try and give it a go. Thanks :)

Hehe a very appropriate name! About 28 weeks yeah. Thing is, on a 'normal' diet 2lb would be fantastic but on something like S&S it feels like a disappointment. I'm sure it'll pick up again though, should average around a stone a month. Need to start taking my thyroid tablets again! Might help a little. Starting the exercise too, hopefully that'll help a bit. Speaking of exercise, ouch my legs hurt today!
 
Morning! I hope you're having a good weekend.

I think a small store bought cake in shop packaging then placed in a plastic box to avoid crushing or cool bag with chill pack would work -- or why not get these (Dunelm, Wilkinson's, et al) might have them -- I bought 8 from Kleeneze for DD's birthday send home cake thing (you Brits!).

Then you could pack just two cupcakes in an insulated lunch bag.

Also, as I mentioned before -- what about a birthday/Holiday count down thing:

With the last package being numbered with the same number as years he'd be old. (If I'd thought about this sooner I'd have done one for DD but her birthday is February 16th and she'll be 14). Next year, I'll do this... I'll collect things that would be like stocking stuffers. ;)
 
I really like the countdown idea. Such a simple idea really but so lovely and creative! His birthday is over 6 months away, don't really need to be thinking about it now lol I think it's just because it's on holiday and so by thinking about it, I get to think about holiday! Found a day trip I'd quite like to do, probably only do one though. Feel like want to make the most of AI!

Another 15 minutes of stability ball/weight exercises done. Actually quite enjoying it!

Expecting a low loss this Weds as I said earlier but going to take a picture in my jeans and compare it with the one from before. Clothes are feeling a lot bigger, need to focus on that as a positive even if I don't have a big loss.

My jeans feel no different, but they fasten a bit better and roll over the top is smaller. Yay! To that.
 
Doing well Mel!

These were tight when I started....

Isn't he just... until he sticks his claws in anyway!

Going to attempt a S&S roast today... might not work but I'll give it a go!!
