We are going away this weekend and I haven't even thought about what to pack, it's going to be cold by the seaside though! Looking forward to a break though. There is a slight problem, there are loads of lovely restaurants there so I am going to have to up the walking and be extra careful while we are away.... Oh well, it will be a good test for me I suppose! I have already booked Prezzo for Friday night, so will have to see how "light" their light menu is

Weekend break sounds nice - hope you get decent weather, we've had so much rain.

I have spent all day getting the house ready for us not to be in it, why on earth we do this to ourselves? I still haven't done the ironing or packed anything yet!
Body Magic tonight too - should be doing 2.5 miles... edit Did 3

Well, first day of break started well.... Had a banana and muller yoghurt at home, arrived at cottage and went straight to the pub! I had a diet coke and a Jacket potato with beans and cheese and a side salad... probably more cheese than I should have had and they had put dressing on the salad, Off to Prezzo tonight... I haven't had a pizza in such a long time! Let's see how I do saying No and meaning Yes (It might come out the wrong way round!! )

[I predict a diet]

Back home after a lovely long weekend away, I did lots of walking and tried to be as good as possible with food without being boring! I enjoyed a few glasses of wine on Saturday night while we watched a great band in the local pub.
Tomorrow is weigh in and I strongly suspect that it will be a gain, but it was good to relax for a couple of days and I am back on it now....
Will start reporting my menu again from tomorrow

 

[Clapper&Ham]

That sounds like a perfect weekend

 

[I predict a diet]

Well this is scary, only 3 days off plan but still very careful about choices and I put on 2.5lbs! Crikey it takes 2 weeks to lose that and only 3 days to put it on!

I did only get back yesterday so maybe the 10 mile walks that I did on Saturday and Sunday might start to show later in the week.

Oh well, I had a lovely weekend so if it means I am on a diet for an extra 2 weeks because of it then so be it

I must say I am a little worried about how the hell I am going to "maintain" when the time comes though!

Morning hun!

It could just be water/weight of the food. Last week I had a wobble on Tuesday and ate at least 80 syns on top of the 67 I'd had during the week and I got on the sales on weds am and I was up 3lb! By the time of my official wi in Saturday I was only up 0.5lb and then the scales kept flickering on a maintain x

 

[ACH]

Yeh it will be the weight of the food/bloat but it will pass, I was bad over the weekend meals out ice creams subway breaki etc etc and I was up by 4lbs yesterday but now I'm only up by 1lb it will go by tomorrow and you should be fine

 

[Clapper&Ham]

It's so annoying when that happens, it'll soon go if you stick at it x

 

[Rae Rae]

It'll be water weight, it'll soon be off xx

 

[Aquasharine]

Really glad you had a fab weekend. Don't worry it will come off again xx

 

[Derbynanny]

Glad you had a good weekend . That 2 1/2 will mostly be fluid retention partly from the food and partly from walking 10 miles your muscles retain water. Will be gone before next weigh in

Hi Chrissie, hope you are okay. I have missed your daily diary, what have you been up to?

Hi Lindsey! Thanks for checking in I have had a stressy migraine since I got back and have been silly busy, but seem to have caught up now, Sitting with a glass of wine to see if that clears my head a bit!

I have been really good since I got back though, I just haven't had time to write it down. Well... I did have 16 syns on Tuesday but I can't see that it would have done too much damage... Only 3 weeks to my holiday so really need to lose a bit more before I put it all back on!

I have been ordering a few holiday clothes online (nothing but woollen jumpers in the shops!) and received a parcel today, I ordered some cropped trousers in a size 14 and they are too big!! Yay! I am sending them back and getting a 12 oh yeah
