[jo-85]

Good morning everyone

Raining here again Flaming June eh? lol

Well I'm having a truly crap week! lol I shall be very surprised not to get a gain on Saturday Eating way too much, even though most of it is 'legal' Think you might have to get the glitter pens out, draw me a line and kick me up the bum pn Saturday! lol

I'm gonna try my flipping hardest to claw something back for the next 3 days..............fingers crossed I can salvage my dismal week

Hope you are all having great weeks xx Take care and have a good day everyone xx

Its amazing what a difference that 3 days on plan could make you could so do it corks but I'm already sitting here waiting with my glittery pen and a big stick to give u a poke in the back (can't give u a kick up the bum with my bad back )

Have a good hump day x

Ya know, I was seriously contemplating just throwing the towel in this week and starting again on Saturday! :8855: What's the point in that though? Stupid!! Thanks for that Jo You've just made me realise I need to take control back............NOW! I might still gain, but at least I can try to control how much! lol I've been saintly so far today, so ifI go to bed as soon as I get in from work, I'm home and dry! :8855:

I love having my hair done but I have a great hairdresser and that helps there's nothing worse that being upset with a hair cut. Next are very good at the customer service tbf I've always been impressed with them and the sandals sound lovely!

Enjoy having cuddles today id never been one for kids before but now whenever I'm near a baby I get so broody it's not good news! Lol! X

 

[jo-85]

Feeling good SW wise again today was my first day fully 100%back on plan yesterday and it feels good. I'd been dipping my foot back in since hols but yesterday when I woke up something had just clicked again and I was back at it. One good thing about being off work with my back has been being able to try out a couple of new recipes made the stroganoff from this months mag last night



It was yummy actually as nice for a change. Tonight gunna try the pork recipe that's in this months mag too.

Still feeling fed up with my back and really thought i would have been all sorted by now back at the docs tomorrow see what they say and to get a doctors note, have never needed one before I feel quite sad that I'm having to get one. That sounds silly doesn't it.

Ho hum back to kill a few more brain cells with daybreak. Have a good day all x

[Andrea81]

Welcome Emma

3lbs off for me today Not the 5 I'd (stupidly) hoped for but very pleased nonetheless, especially as I've not done hardly any BM this week.
I've just celebrated by spending far too much money on a new bike so raring to go again

Ooooo 8.30pm Party animal! :8855: I can't decide what to make for dinner when I get home form work today. I'm feeling rather uninspired this week and I think bad planning is to blame. I usually have my menu planned out for the week, but I was busy DIYing on Sunday and the 'planning/cooking' got neglected Kick me up the ass please someone! lol

Oh that meal looks yummy Jo I'll have to get the mag and try that one

Well done getting back on plan, it's always a hard thing to do after a holiday I find. You'll be into it after the first couple of days

Hope your back feels better soon, in the meantime enjoy daytime telly! :8855:

[MummySelkirk]

Its not all new look ladies, sorry i wasnt clear, it only gyle in edinburgh not i need to travel to the other side of edinburgh just for jeans. I refuse with two kids under five on public transport! Ill just stick to leggins till i get into a 18!

Had lunch out today but there wasnt great selection for healthy :-/ pain. Had a bbq chicken wrap with salad. Salad was awful. So much for planning! Home n had a lovely big salal for my dinner, OH no well so didnt wanna cook! Off to the bingo tonight with my granny! X

Do any of u take vitamins? I got my gran cod lover oil formher high blood pressure and one for her eyes cant mind the name. I got cod liver oil too and a multi vit. Got the kiddies one too. I seen acai berry but i done no much about it. I heard its great for weight lose. Im hopeing my skin will glow with the bits hahaha!

 

[Andrea81]

I can't decide what to make for dinner when I get home form work today. I'm feeling rather uninspired this week and I think bad planning is to blame.

In reply I would like to refer back to something I once saw written by a very wise woman:

piss poor planning = piss poor performance :giggle:

:8855: Still makes me lol x

Nice work Andrea!
Corky, with regards to 'my' 'theory' I found this link and the links in her blog are interesting too. Fatty Fights Back: MTYHBUSTERS: Starvation Mode what do you think? It appears you would only start to lose muscle (well have it eaten ) or get really ill when you really REALLY starve yourself. Psychologically however, different matter. I think if I did that for any length of time I would be eating anything and everything (vegan)! Of course when you start to eat again unless you introduced yourself slowly to food you would more than likely just pile it all back on and then some. Probably why many people do say that they find that happened to them. Micci posted this link for me to read too: They Starved So That Others Be Better Fed: Remembering Ancel Keys and the Minnesota Experiment
Good luck Friday Fighters!

Ahhhh so it's not all New Look stores Shame for you though Don't blame you for not tackling public transport with 2 nippers either - nightmare stuff - double nightmare if there's buggies involved too Could you leave your kiddies with your OH one day and sneak into Edinburgh on your own??

Awww bingo with granny I went a few time with my granny years ago - mainly to keep her company............well truth be told I didn't want her messing about with buses in the dark at her age so it was an excuse to drive her there so she's be safe! lol At first she just kept telling me to 'keep quiet' so she could hear the caller, then she move on to 'don't you be missing any numbers, I can only watch my own card' :giggle:

I've never bothered with vitamins and stuff Tina - I like to think that I get all I need from the food I eat................may be wishful thinking mind, but it's what I believe! LOL

In reply I would like to refer back to something I once saw written by a very wise woman:


:8855: Still makes me lol x

It's so true too! :8855: I'm gonna be all over it like a rash next week! You just watch :giggle: This week has been a total right off lol

Nice work Andrea!

I think I'm even more confused that I was before I read the links! lol No, seriously - really interesting links V4L Thanks for posting them It all makes perfect sense actually. I agree with the fact that you only start losing muscle after extended periods of starvation, but I've read so many times of seriously overweight people (some on this forum) who fail to lose weight (and they have major fat reserves) because they "haven't eaten enough"?? Surely a week of (alleged starvation??) isn't enough for the body to hold onto all that fat 'in case of famine'??? I'm getting myself in knots trying to work it all out here! lol I'll have another read/think when the coffee has kicked in! :giggle:
