Nicola's Cuba Countdown

That's the spirit!
Enjoy your birthday treats and then get back on plan with complete positivity :)

I've got my 2nd weigh in tonight and have everything crossed that the scales will show a loss, although it might be ruined by the time of the month (sorry too much detail I know but I think it may have an effect :-s). Painkillers didn't touch the sides yesterday so I succumbed to 4 Lindor balls which made me feel happier but used my entire day's syns - totally worth it though!!! ;-p

Everything crossed for you tonight! Time of the month usually hinders me a bit, but everyone's different, so you never know! :) Lindor Balls are always worth the syns haha! x

I need to catch up properly....but you lost weight on holiday?!?! How did you manage THAT one?! I think I found what you lost on mine, haha! :D

Hope you had a great time, I only got back yesterday and am already in work today!!! Meh!!

Haha pure luck I think, and a lot of dancing!! :D Poor you straight back into work - back to reality with a bump eh!! I'm so pleased I've only got a 2 day week before the weekend again hehe, ease me back into it all gently! Did you have a brilliant holiday? x

Oh and how rude of me!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a lovely time had! xxx

Thank you!! Was really lovely, and still enjoying the leftovers now! :D x


Well the home scales were bang on the same as the group ones, and I've officially weighed in at 10st 12lbs... which thankfully means I didn't lose my 2st award, and keeps me still within touching distance of that healthy BMI, so all in all, not tooooo much damage done considering how bad I've been! It did nearly kill me having to put in a higher number when updating my statistics on here and my ticker :(, but I'm just remembering that it's for one week only, and from next week I'll be back on my downwards journey - roll on that 2.5st award, it will be mine in August :D Am really glad I stayed to Image Therapy today, it does give you such a good little boost, and I'm feeling all motivated to get back on it tomorrow morning - I even went to Tesco afterwards and bought my work lunch for tomorrow (sushi packs) so there's absolutely no excuses!

Onwards and downwards!! (once I've finished this Krispy Kreme doughnut) ;)
 
Absolutely... I've had my holiday time off the wagon and now it's time to knuckle down, get back into routine, and get to target :D And plus, I'm still 2lbs lighter than I was when I went on holiday, so that still feels like an achievement haha! When did you start your diary?? Will pop over to subscribe :) xx

"Last supper" of Sweet & Sour House Special, Rice & Salt n Pepper Chips - beige food overload, does the pineapple and carrot count as my 1/3 superfree? ;) :

:D
 
Both look very tasty! did you enjoy your last supper lol? xxx

I really did! The chips were super spicy, just how I like them, and I've just thrown all the leftovers in the bin so there's no temptation tomorrow :D Have well and truly cured myself of the takeaway cravings as am ridiculously stuffed now! x
 
Sounds v tasty and exactly what you needed to get rid of the naughty food gremlins! And sounds like you totally have the right head on again ready to go for it :)

miraculously I lost 3 1/2lbs this week, got my 1/2 stone award and was slimmer of the week! Sooo happy XD
totally gee'd up to stay on plan and have another good week with lots of speed soup for lunch and walking.
hurrah!
 
Well done you, that is brilliant!! What a great start you've got off to! :D I'd have loved to get that first award so quickly, it took me about 6 months of faffing haha!

Sitting here trying to plan my menu but feel a bit queasy after the takeaway and am really struggling to think about food!! I've got a few more salted caramels to eat too, but I really can't face them yet! Maybe by midnight haha x
 
Maybe that's the best time to menu plan, when you're full of takeaway so you plan lots of free food. A bit like the opposite of going food shopping when you're hungry! ;)

to celebrate I had a glass of wine AND 2 more Lindor so defo over syns for today but felt v good :)
xx
 
Indeed :) skinny-winny moo! Xx
 
Aw thanks lovelies! :)


Well the scales this morning were bad enough to shock me into action if nothing else had - 11st 1lb!!!! :eek: I can't be in the 11s again!!!! 100% this week, have got to get back down to post-holiday weight of 10st 9.5lbs ASAP!!!!

You will get there asap I am sure! I bet some of that is bloating from the chinese food/carbs too! It'll be off in no time....

Great new photo too, get some more holiday pics up! ;-)
 
I'm sure LauraLoo's right and it's just post takeaway bloat, gone v soon and back in the 10's I'm sure (I'm so looking forward to that!)

just wanted to say thanks for the magic pancake recipe, they are so amazing I had to post whilst eating them!! (Do you eat the whole batch?). So delish can't believe they're free! Amazeballs XD

anyway, onwards and downwards we shall all go! Xx
