The Countdown Has Begun...

Monsoon is also overpriced. I don't mind paying 100 pounds for a wow factor dress but not for work stuff so I usually time it and stock up when they have a sale on.
Andy only ventures into Jo Malone as part of my Christmas :).
I feel totally bloated today. Think my totm is due. Struggling to stay in the frame of mind today because I know il be quaffing wine at the airport tomorrow morning x

You promised you'd weigh in for me before jetting off to dun and cocktails!

Monsoon can be so frumpy too...feel like I'm dressed way beyond my years in their gear. you need to work from home un order to minimise work clothes required x

I shall weigh in tomorrow at 6.30. Not hopefully as I don't feel any different and totm due but so long as it's not a gain.
Yeah monsoons stuffs frumpy and their young range is too young. Well it is for me.
I'd love to work from home but I work in mental health crisis so no can do. That and I'd be sitting about in my pjs watching the housewifes and day dreaming about food x

Weigh in and know you're on the right track hun....set you off with a spring in your step...TOTM sucks but I bet you've still lost some pounds...but a loss is a loss hun :)

if you worked from home you'd end up like me.....bemoaning ever leaving the house in normal clothes...it was tough today getting guessed in the dark....did my 12 hours...and found out I have to find ANOTHER ensemble for tomorrow and I will have to smile coz boss lady is making an appearance....so will have to actually look employed lol xx
 
Yeah il defo weigh in. Even if I've lost a pound or 2 it's better than having stuffed my face all week and ended up with an extra massive gain next sat.
Keep my seat on the bus next to you. Almost looking forward to getting back on it for a while knowing I've nothing on. Easier to get into the mindset. That's what I'm hoping anyway x
 
Oh il spare you a wee thought when im sitting in the sun with a cocktail and you've the fake smile on for the boss. Tho itl be you in a few weeks :D x
 
Well done! 3 is a great loss in a week and if you gain this week at least the minus 3 to start with puts you in a better starting place! If that makes sense!
Enjoy your holiday-very well deserved xx
 
3 off. Probably be back on by time I get on the plane. Enjoy your day. Thank god we have a day off the squats :0 x

Yay Marie! It'll be off in no time when you're back!

My thighs and bum hate me right now too!
 
How you getting on squatter? Xx
 
How you getting on squatter? Xx

LOL squatter....I have yet to do my 70 squats for today....just go home from work after starting at 7am....boo!

Woke up tired today then did my weekly weigh in...post pee and naked as usual and only lost 0.4 of a pound....what is that about? Am I still being punished for those cupcakes and champers???

So I am hoping that next week is a better day for weight lost and I will plough on...otherwise I am in danger of throwing in the towel and going on a binge!!!!

How are you getting on this week? I need some of your motivation Sammy :)
 
I hear ya!! I was a bit like that this week but am hoping to see a better loss at next weigh in and think that'll help throw me back on the straight and narrow!!
Our bodies are strange though and any number of things can cause a weird weigh in!! Sometimes I think it's our bodies way of testing us to see how serious we are about the diet! Or it's rebelling and wants to keep the flab for the cold winter!! We need to show it who's boss!!

Yikes, so a long day for you!! Yuck!!

Good luck on the squats - you're amazing if you get them done after a long day at work!! Xx
 
The wheels have come off my wagon big time! Work has been intense for about 8 weeks now and I've stayed as strong as I could but working 7days a week for 8 weeks with a minimum of a 12 hour day has finally broken me....i binged! annoyed but not annoyed because I'm too damn tired to care! Arggggghhh!

Right. I'm literally just in the door after 5 days if eating like I was at a Tudor banquet, washed down with copious amounts of creamy cocktails.

Tomorrow's a new day. So get yourself dusted down ready to get back on the bus. Coat coat coat. Size 16 dress dress dress. Ya hear me!!x
 
Tiredness is a huge, huge trigger for most people. That level of work just isn't sustainable. You'll end up getting sick and then they will have to manage so try to give yourself a couple of days off if at all possible. I know it's not always that simple but you need a rest. Also the weather is really miserable and boredom with the diet starts to kick in at this stage but you have done so well so don't let it turn into anything more than today. Good night's sleep and start afresh.

You're absolutely right! Unfortunately its been a high pressure time at work our project and this week has been my toughest and i caved just to escape the relentless chasing of my tail and trying not to mess up and subsequently burst into tears at work...so I ate my frustrations instead!

Tomorrow is a new day and I need to pull it together. I'm hoping not to have to log in or deal with any work emergency...the work blackberry will be switched off at 7om tonight....squats and shakes time tomorrow xx

Sorry to hear your so stressed and down about work. It's so unlike you. Your normally the mad hatter amongst us, cheering us on.
Youl find your way. Don't undo all your hard work. Won't be long until your well deserved break in Madrid and you can forget about work for a few days.
Hugs xx

Ooh did you have fun? I've been eating like I was with you in Spain! I've really missed you! Did you squat?

How was the Solana? Did Made nearly run you over with her scooter?

I dunno if I'm losing it but all week I've been up and down with my moods, beyond tired and wanting to eat anything other than them flaming packs or think about what I was eating coz I've been too knackered to care.

Tomorrow is operation Karen Millen coat and Warehouse dress again....perhaps by Xmas now....xx

Yeah it was good and I enjoyed it. Was 27 degrees so just chilled in the sun with my kindle and a cocktail or 40. We went all inclusive because it was the same price and the food was unhealthy to say the least. They had fried bread at breakfast!!Haven't seen fried bread for about 2o years.
Was kinda like Blackpool in the sun. Lots of people scooting about on Madge scooters. The sol pelicanos was exactly as it is on the programme aha. Enjoyed it but now I've been wouldn't go back I don't think.
I think this diet can really play havoc with your mood and emotions. I know some people get a rush of energy when in ketosis but I've never had that. After about 3 weeks I'm really tired and cranky and feeling sorry for myself. I'm determined to push through it this time.
I'm sure you won't have done too much damage and when it goes on quick it comes off quick. You'll be rocking the dress for your mans birthday :) x
