Sandra's maintenance diary.....

[JanD]

Good idea to rein it in as soon as you can, and to get back on here and mfp to help. You'll soon get it sorted, I bet it's not many lbs x

 

[SandraB]

Hi Sandra, how you doing ? Fantastic by the sounds of it xxx

Daisy darling! I'm great thanks.....mad busy, my new job is fantastic and I love it to bits! Doesn't feel like I had two years off at all, settled right back in like I've never been away. I think that it helps that it's a new place so no-one knows about all the **** that I went through before....unless I tell them. Going to work dressed up to the nines again, in a size 12, is a huge buzz too but I've over-done the SB recently and my new boss has been great at buying me the odd glass of champagne so I'm going to get back into a bit of sensible eating for a few weeks, well weekdays at least, not weekends now that I have them again

What about you? Are you back on LT? I haven't really been on here much in recent weeks and then only really on this part of the forum......are you back at work? Xxx

'bout half a stone Jan so enough! It feels awful and my skinny jeans are pinching so I've got to do something about it right now.....trouble is I'm out an awful lot, keep meeting friends for lunch now that I'm back in town, going for drinks after work and we have been away every weekend for about the last six weeks. The weather has been so fabulous so we've been drinking an awful lot of rose in the garden

Have you shifted your weight gain now? I'm contemplating getting some more LT or Exante and shifting the last stone (now) once and for all......how are you finding it? X

Hi Sandra, yeah Im back at work, there has been a lot of changes all for the better so Im enjoying it again. Im not on Lt I tried to re-start twice but felt so emotional about it I couldnt stay motivated. Im trying Atkins but its early days, Its like everything new, it takes time to settle into. Soo glad to hear you are happy, you been through it and now enjoying the rewards. xxx

 

[JanD]

Oh you'll soon shift that!

I did 3 weeks TFR and I'm at the end of my second week of 2 products and a low carb meal. I've lost 12.8lbs plus whatever the morning wi brings (hopefully! - I HAVE had a few dwinkie poos this week ) I'd like to lose another 3-4lbs.

I like all the Exante products personally but I still prefer my shakes as mousses just as I did on LT. I found the first 6 days hard going because I was really really hungry but it was ok after that - I don't really ever want to have to do it again though xx

Hi Sandra, glad to have you back

I completely understand how your feeling! I'm half a stone up and feeling miserable cause my new small clothes are too tight and I got rid of all my other clothes

I started back on TFR today and have reset my goal weight to 135lbs like I had originally planned.

Good, I'm glad.....work is such a big part of life. I've tried to do LT a couple of times too but never managed a full day:sigh: you're aiming quite low now looking at your desired BMI, told you that you wouldn't be happy once you'd got down to a 14 or so! Good luck with Atkins, I'm back on mfp counting calories and exercising, I only let myself go for 3 weeks so it shouldn't be too hard to rein myself in! X

Thx sweetheart, it feels good to be back! Ive been looking through my diary and seeing how good I was up until only recently, surely I can do that again?!

This half a stone ain't funny is it? I can't believe how gross I feel yet only six months ago this would've felt really slim! Trouble is I've got my life back now and I'm having such a brilliant time that when someone suggests a bite of lunch or a couple of glasses of champagne then I'm there like a rat up a drainpipe! I'm away at friends next weekend then don't have a weekend away for two weeks so I might go to the pharmacy too, it'd only take a couple of weeks after all.....

Good luck, off to bed now, catch up tomorrow x

 

[JanD]

Well I certainly feel better than I did but I'm only just on target. I'll feel better with those few more lbs gone x

Sandra, it's not hard to let the pesky pounds creep on again. I'm with you on that front, control is so important but sometimes needs a little more effort to stay on top of it. Just cut back a little on portions and omit one or two naughties and you should be fine.
Enjoy all your outings.

Total today 1,416 calories, still finishing the Lindor eggs! Had a very difficult client in (ranting and raving) so didn't make it to the gym.....Paul's away at the crack of dawn so I may get a cycle in before work, in any event got Pilates later.

Got to go, watching The Apprentice!

 

[JanD]

I'm watching it now - late but recorded - LOVE it!! xx

 

[SandraB]

Me too Jan.......

Breaking news, just got up, looed (pooed!) and weighed, back down to 11st 4lbs considering that I was 11st 10lbs first thing on Monday I'm well happy! I thought that Monday's weigh in was a bit heavy........must've been all the bread, cheese and wine over the weekend! I think that I'll give Monday weigh ins a miss in future.....

So that's 5lbs over my lowest weight, shouldn't be a problem

 

[JanD]

Excellent! x

Just had the best weekend....went to France but stayed with friends rather than our house. Got there late Friday night and had a bottle of pink champagne as a bedtime tipple! Went to their local Market in the morning, long, wine-drenched lunch and then went go-carting (made sure that there was a decent interval after the wine) came back and played table tennis in the garden and a swing-ball thingy until we were too drunk to hit the ball! Spent the evening drinking more pink champagne (VC Rose was on special offer on the ferry complete with a gorgeous little pink neoprene jacket) eating BBQ until it got too cold and dark to stay in the garden. Came in and played cards and carried on drinking, don't remember going to bed! Got up late and munched home-baked pain au chocolate to mop up the champagne and then went for a nice walk around the lake.

Lunch in the garden, last of the champagne and then home......not going to weigh tomorrow.....best weekend this year!

 

[RetailChick]

Sounds like an amazing weekend Sandra

Beats the hell outta mine anyway!!! xx
