Hi bee
I sometimes get terrible prickly heat from the sun
I normally take antihistamines, and use the Piz Buin alergen sun cream, which works for me
Good luck for WI

I will check out the sun cream you mentioned, that might be helpful. I take antihistamines for my hayfever already and it says it would also work for skin allergies, however, with the sudden appearance of summer a couple of weeks back it didn't do anything for me and any creams I slapped on didn't make much difference. Thank goodness for terrible weather again Rash all gone. Although today first sunny warmish day in a while so I will definitely get myself some of that cream and give it a go

No, I don't think there's one anywhere near. But we have a bunch of these cheap drug stores like home bargains etc and they have a surprisingly good range, will check them out. I haven't been in boots in ages since I discovered them. My staple conditioner is 99p in there as opposed to 2.49 everywhere else

Haha
A woman after my own heart

 

[BeeBeeSee]

I do love my bargains...I tend to know the prices of my usual products in all the surrounding shops and map my shopping trips accordingly. Drives people nuts hehe.

Oh dear, I started my totm today and have gained a little despite being on plan 100%. I know it's just the hormones and the water etc etc. But it is depressing nevertheless. Right, just gotta get on with it. Have a good day everyone x

 

[ED.]

That's the right attitude Bee! Aslong as you are on plan you must ignore all fluctuations - It is fact that the weight will come down and down and down I have had 5 day stalls and all sorts of patterns but the scales never win and it always moves! Have a fab day hun you're doing great xx

 

[lynneonextante]

How's it going Bee?

 

[BeeBeeSee]

Thanks Ed, it's quite healthy to perhaps shift the focus from the weighing and more to the sticking to plan thing. Coz that's the way to success, and I'm just not gonna weigh until WI day Wednesday, by then hopefully things will have balanced out again.

@Lynne
Today's gone well, I've stuck to plan, some bad cravings but didn't give in, I just thought how gutted I'd be if I had only that one biscuit or that one bite of cake, all on offer today unfortunately. But I knew it wouldn't just be the one thing, I'd end up writing the day off and possibly a few more.
I'm all ready to go to bed soon, not going anywhere near the kitchen now, just scraping off the make up and watching something to keep my mind occupied.
All in all, a good day really. And I know that if I hadn't stepped on the scales this morning, the day would have felt even better, so it's psychological more than anything.
How're you doing?

 

[slimwannabe]

Well done for resisting Bee, you should be going to bed feeling proud of yourself as is never easy. xx

My day was fine apart from having 4 (4!!!!!) Atkins cappucino nut bars for lunch! Did do a 2.07 mile run too at lunchtime so that used up some of the calories. Just been trying my new clothes on and they're still too small. I'm really going to have to try to stick to 100% TS as much as I can. Work was really busy. I'm finding the amout I have to so quite overwhelming at the moment. It's going to be a quiet - but 100% TS weekend - dog walking, running, housework, washing, gardening etc!

 

[slimwannabe]

Good for you Lynne, I have no chance this weekend as will be at an all day and evening wedding tomorrow so 3 course lunch and buffet dinner!!
Will do my best to avoid most carbs but can't promise to be as good with the old booze lol x

 

[lynneonextante]

Hi Nat. Enjoy yourself. I would!

 

[BeeBeeSee]

Today's gone quite well, despite feeling like a hormonal blob I stuck to the plan, couldn't drink as much water as I should have coz I was out and about. Had coffee with friends and passed on the home made biscotti, was hard but felt really good for it, I know I would have kicked myself otherwise. Anyways, that was my uneventful day. Night night xx

 

[lynneonextante]

Well done. Night night.

Well done Bee you're unstoppable now! Have a good day xx
