Smidge's Final Push!

[smidge87]

Tomorrow is another day........

Very true! And I'm ready for it

So guys, look what I was given on leaving the exhibition...


I'm feeling stronger now though so I'm going to put them in the cupboard and give myself a challenge not to open them. Seen this on Susie's signature and think I'd enjoy the challenge! Bring it on :sign0151:

Oh dear!

 

[smidge87]

Oh dear!

:giggle:hehe, you think I'm crazy I bet?


Well.. today is weigh in day! Drum roll please.... 10lbs!!! If I can shift 4lbs a week until my holiday I'll be back at goal before we go.. it's days like this I love exante!

my OH also lost an impressive 8lbs, considering all the food he's eaten and managed to stay in ketosis I think he's pretty lucky!

 

[lynneonextante]

Well done Smidge, that's brilliant and your OH's 8lb might motivate him to sty strong this week. On the other hand careful he doesn't get complacent!

 

[smidge87]

Lol I think the latter is more likely! Luckily I've done it alone before so if he wavers I should be able to maintain control

 

[lynneonextante]

I hope he does keep it up as it must be nice to do it alongside someone else. On the other hand, every times he wavers would probably make me feel quite sanctimonious and strengthen my resolve. If he doesn't continue he'll regret it when he sees your results!

 

[Susie58]

OMG Smidge 10lb!!, what a result. Well done x

Not eating the chocolate is a good motivational tool. Just don't eat any other sort of chocolate instead LOL (holds my head in shame )x

 

[smidge87]

haha! I'll do my best.. I've only got 34 days until my holiday and I'd be disappointed in myself if I couldn't restrain myself for a month!

 

[Susie58]

Ah, you will be good till then Smidge. are you going some where hot, cold or in the middle x

 

[smidge87]

We're going to Norfolk, I shouldn't think it'll be hot so we'll have to eat plenty of chips to stay warm It's the first holiday for the dog so I think he'll be more excited than us lol!

I love Norfolk. We go there to visit friends who moved there some years back near East Rudham. The dog will love it x

 

[smidge87]

*yawn* day 10 and I'm exhausted!! Think I'm starting to burn out after my exhibition last week and only one day weekend where I was busy doing housework! Back up first thing for gym before work this morning. Looking forward to a long weekend starting Thursday!

At the bingo with Mum tonight, feeling quite fat for some reason, probably something to do with my monthly so everything will seem better in the morning I hope

 

[lynneonextante]

I'm sure it will Smidge!

 

[smidge87]

Thanks Lynne, think we all need a little love today

 

[Susie58]

Gym before work, you are dedicated Smidge. I could never do that. Love my lay in's too much.

Definitely a difficult month for some of us. January was such an enthusiastic month. Each month is getting closer to warmer weather so have to get that get up & go streak going again x

 

[smidge87]

Lol it does take some push, but I love the feeling at the end of a long work day that I can go home and veg and not drag my lazy butt down the gym lol

Don't think all this miserable weather is helping! Bring on the sunshine!!

 

[lynneonextante]

It was actually getting light at 7am today! Roll on summer!

 

[smidge87]

That's true, it was quite light at the gym this morning

Feeling better today thankfully. Had a nice little win at the bingo which helped pick up my mood last night. Then got home to find the OH had eaten noodles and 2 spam fritters (and tried to hide the evidence lol ) but that spurned me into bed with no swaying towards treats just to show him he's weak, ha ha!

Weighed in this morning, knew there wouldn't be much change but wanted to reassure myself after last night. Going in the right direction still with half a pound off

Thanks Twinkle! I have certainly avoided them, eat one and I'll be hooked again

Had a good day today - hit the gym before work, had a bar then had a morning meeting. One of my colleagues is on CD (but they don't know I'm on Exante at the mo) so we were both struggling to avoid the biccies or choccies on offer, but we both succeeded!

Just finished off my dinner, yummy shepherd's pie. Not sure what to do tonight to keep myself occupied, probably do some washing and watch a film
