Saltdog's Magic Shrinking Formula

[piX128]

I do mine from here too and so far its going ok. I'm not sure a class would be for me and i've not yet found a reason to join online when the info I need is here - as Im not working I cant really afford it either.

good luck with juggling the two eating plans , Im sure there will be lots in common so that you dont end up with different meals all the time!

Very disappointed today.

I only managed an STS. I know that's not a gain but I always get on the scales hoping for more. I was slightly naughty last weekend but thought I had made up for it through the week. I guess its just one of those things. The main problem is that I'm away on the ferry this afternoon for a wedding in Inverness so I imagine it will be yet another slightly naughty weekend. Fingers crossed my body decides to kick itself back in to touch next Friday!!

I've got my job interview for working off shore next Thursday in Aberdeen. I'm struggling to think of anything else right now. I've been swotting up on all the off shore information I can find on the internet. Quite a bit to take in but it'll be time well spent if I get the job. If I get off shore it will probably help my weight loss too. I'll have a gym at work and will be able to have a lot more time to go to the gym at home too. It's all going to add to my determination to get myself fit and slim for the summer!!

Hope the interview goes well

Sounds like you've got a fun weekend ahead, don't worry about the sts, you can always work it off again x

I was sure I replied to this , but it must have been in my head rather than with my fingers lol !

A whole week without posting. I am getting lazy!! I have no excuses to give but I did have a lot on my mind this past week with my job interview yesterday. I think it went ok but I have to wait a few days to find out for sure probably.

Well, I had WI this morning and was very pleased with a 1.5lb weight loss!! I've been trying to be as commited as I can to SW this last week but with a heavy weekend due to being at a wedding and unhealthy eating while travelling yesterday I wasn't expecting any kind of success. I should manage a 100% this next week though so fingers crossed for a big one next week!

I hope everyone is getting on well and being more dedicated than me!!

 

[EmmyR1984]

Well done on the loss, that's great, espescially with not being 100% on plan

Can't wait to see how well you do next week x

Unfortunately there are 7 days to go until next week! That's a long time for me to behave myself!! Lol.

 

[EmmyR1984]

I'm sure you can do it

 

[Purple Patsy]

Well done on the loss Kev.

 

[piX128]

woohoo ..a loss, great stuff ! fingers crossed for the interview too xx

 

[EmmyR1984]

:wavey: hope everything is going good

 

[Saltdog]

Hiya Em. Thanks for popping by. Things are going ok. Just waiting tentatively waiting on word of my new job. Not really thinking of much else right now. Also getting a year older next week which is never a good thing. Still, life goes on and I'm keeping my fingers loosely crossed for another loss this week.

How about you? Hope you're getting on well? I really must catch up on some threads. X

Hope you get word of the new job soon

It's my mum's birthday next week too, on the 4th. Hope you have a great day whenever yours is

Had your little boy done his kick boxing grading yet?

Hiya Em,

Sorry about the late reply. I've not been updating my own thread as much as I should. My birthday's on Monday so a couple of days before your mum. Have you got anything special planned for her? My GF and I are going out for a nice meal tomorrow night but that's all the plans we have so far. Monday isn't a great day for a birthday. I was thinking of going to a couple of pubs after the meal tomorrow but I'm not sure that'll happen any more because I think I broke my toe last night and it hurts like a bugger to walk! Lol. Adding alcohol as an anaesthetic probably won't help the helaing process much. Actually, I should probably go and get an x-ray today to confirm one way or the other. I've got a meeting at 10 but I'll struggle round to the surgery after that.

My wee boy did indeed eventually get his next grading. It was a bit of a mess up because the club was moving venues and the new place wasn't ready in time. He got there in the end so I get to be a very, very proud daddy again.

WI this morning and I wasn't looking forward to it because I had a cheeky mid-week check on Tuesday and I'd gained 4lbs according to my scales!! Now I'm not entirely sure why they would deliberately cause me so much stress and I did consider going out and buying a more understanding, supportive scale!! Lol. However, this morning I was 0.5lbs up so although I've not lost, it's not as bad as I expected. I'm a strong believer in, "Expect the worst and you can only be pleasantly surprised!" Lol.

I think I might need to concentrate more on the diet for the next couple of weeks though. I'm not going to get out to walk the dog until my toe gets better so my exercise levels are going to go right down. Anybody have any good cardio exercises you can do while sitting on your butt???

 

[EmmyR1984]

Oh no So sorry about your toe, it sounds super painful. I'd definitely go and get it looked at just in case you've fractured further up your foot too.

Sounds like you've got some nice plans for your birthday. We haven't got anything planned yet, but think we might arrange a day at the beach for her if we still have nice weather next weekend as my cousin will be here with her 2 little girls

Don't worry about it. I've been so bad at keeping up to date on here, and this weekend will be just as bad because we're away for a few days visiting my fiance's parents.

Awwww so glad your little guy got to do his grading in the end. Do you know when the next one will be?

hello you! Get that foot looked at - the bones in it are super easy to break ! Great news for your lad too ...any thing on the job news yet ? birthday celebrations this weekend? Can I ask any more questions ? lol x

like you I had an early week gain which translated into a one pound loss by today ...I guess thats why they tell us not to be obsessed with weighing ! I just knew after a weekend with the mother in law 2 weeks ago and then a long weekend away that there was no way I'd not done some damage! A pound over two weeks isnt great but its better than the gain it was showing so I can share that relief with you !!

Hey there. Thanks for the questions. My, we are inquisitive today. Lol. Don't worry, it's all good. Right now to answer....

I'm going to go to casualty after I have a meeting at 10 to get my foot looked at. Hopefully it's not broken but it is bloody sore!! As for the job front, news just hot off the press (as in I was on the phone 10 minutes ago about it!!) ......... I got it!!!! I am totally on a high right now and feeling like I could take on the world!! I will be celebrating more than just my birthday this weekend methinks! Even if I have to do it from a wheelchair. And finally, yes you can ask as many questions as you want!! Lol.

I'm really chuffed for your loss this week. I should be upset that I gained a bit myself but quite frankly, it'll take more than that to upset me today!!

 

[EmmyR1984]

congratulations on the job

 

[Saltdog]

congratulations on the job

Thanks Em, I'm totally chuffed to bits. It's going to change my routine a lot since I'll be spending a lot of time offshore but I'm looking forward to the challenges it brings. I think it will be good for my weight loss too. I can see me having a lot more opportunity to exercise anyway.
