Scotsmists Take on Life!!!!!! And everything else :-)

[kered]

Sounds like you had a fantastic day with your friend Iris, the lunch sounded lovely and I think you were well within your allowance, but like you say, dont bother to analyse it too much, or it can just cause headwork.

Great going on the steps, you really do fantastic with your exercise. I have ordered a pedometer for after the holidays.

doh!! just had a few more yoghurt raisins, a few chick peas (turkish ones, leblebi)...and some pretzels!!!!! GRRRR.....told OH to take the box away so he has them all now!!!!!!

I dont do enough exercise I feel Mary..esp high impact, but a wee bit difficult having arthritis in knee and spine.....but I know I would loose quicker if I could burn more fat, but have to just do what I can with coreball, pilates and the walking.

I am on an organised walk next week to The Follies in Staffordshire and it is A HARD walk..mostly walking up steps, etc...really tough going, so looking forward that and then another walk the following Tuesday! I have to just use steps as my exercise..which RC does say you can do..either walking or doing aerobics!

I got the WW pedometer......it is good, BUT it does record when I go to the loo!! hha...so, I give or take about a good 500-1000 steps and dont record them as I am sure it records every movement! I think they are all like that as I had another one once before and it just bugged me because it kept moving even when I was sitting down!!!!

The one I ordered was from Avon, only £6, so I will see how it goes.
Good luck on the walk next week, looks like you will be exhausted after that one.

Well done on your loss Iris - I think that's great!

You do a hell of a lot more exercise than I do!! I have several pedometers - all in the back of a drawer somewhere I even have a speaking one LOL!

I'm glad you enjoyed your day with your friend and that you have lots of lovely things to look forward to. My father always used to say there were 2 things that made for a fulfilling life - a challenge and something to look forward to .... and we all know what OUR challenge is don't we?!! xx

...........and we all know what I look forward to..............HOLIDAYS.

Oh God NO! I wouldn't thank you for that one! The difference between those 2 pics just about illustrates the difference between what we like and what we got last week! LOL! xx (Although Olu Deniz wasn't as bad as that pic! )

[JanD]

That looks lovely Mary - love the way you say 'I live' xx

Iris, well done on your loss this week. Don't fret about the mythical stone, every pound counts and you are heading in the right direction. Sounds like you had a good day out with your friend. Don't panic on the food front as you can make up for any excess in the following days. Stick with the 80/20 rule, just be good for 80% of the time!!

Love the holiday pics ladies, can't wait for my greek hols next year!

I didnt have an awful lot today because I got up a bit later today and then we were out in the allotment till about 4pm!!! Then had lunch, then back out to the other allotment till after 9pm...so didnt want to eat too much.

Guys, I didnt have a good food day last night
Not going to dwell on it, but could have set me back a little, but I decided had to move on! It wasnt as bad as usual, BUT it did take me off the plan....but I got back on again today! So, I may not lose this week but I am going to cut right back this week, so if it looks like I am not eating a lot it is because I would like a lb off at least for this week.

I have done 13500 steps today, 8.5km!!!! WAW!! Been really suffering with pain in my neck and back the past few days which is making me feel miserable and not sleeping so well with it.Tunc gave me a massage last night which helped, but, even with a memory foam bed and pillow I am in agony!!! GRRRR......damn this arthritis!!!

Oh, guys our allotments are looking WONDERFUL...the one that is about 2 miles away is a joy to go to now....5 years we have been working this and only now can we really see the difference....again, must try and get pics on here!!!!! haha......we may have a shed too (should find out tomorrow)!!! And someone gave us a raised bed for the top (we have raised beds in the bottom part)! All looking very good indeed.

Just got roped into organising the pond so I need to find people who want to help with a working party and donate pond plants...yet something else to be involved with!!!!

Ok, think I have waffled enough tonight.....cant go to bed till late as didnt finish eating till 10pm!!!!

Iris! get some pics up of your allotment! Oh and obv Turkey! Would love an allotment!!!!

Glad to see you are doing ok. But don't be silly and cut back too much this week just for the sake of a lb xxx
