The Countdown Has Begun...

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

Fried bread? I remember that from my one and only girl guide camping trip....some moons ago...ewwww! I've never been to Blackpool and its never likely to be on my travel agenda either what with Fiji and all that lol.

as with any diet, stress is not helpful...I've been all over the shop just with the irrational tiredness...lets hope it ends tomorrow :eek: xx

Yep fried bread. Bit of nostalgia. Hotel was totally catered for the British palate circa 1970s I think. Not a paella in sight. Was good to good and see it. Not my usual type of holiday. Wouldn't go back. I fancy Cuba for next winter. Might make that my "getting to target" holiday.

Stress isint helpful as when were stressed the body releases more cortisol which prevents us from loosing (or even gaining) weight. Even when your 100 per cent. Which might explain your small loss on tues? The tiredness is a killer too. It encroaches on positivity and it's hard to stay in the right frame of mind. Hopefully your over the worst of it. Realistically were all going to have blips. It's how we move on from then.

Let's do this. Let's get skinny :) x

Ps did you make anything naughty in the actifry?
 
Hi sweetie,
As has been said, draw a line. We're only human and when faced with that amount of stress it's no wonder you cracked. Big hugs. But forget it and get started on mission dress and coat!

Squats, planks and actifry! You CAN do this, you WILL do this, and by heck you ARE doing this.

Toot toot the bus is a coming :) xx

No... Well... I had a thought... When I made soup last night I spent 15 mins stood at the cooker sweating down leeks and mushrooms... I could have shoved then in there for 10 mins... Also same for veg I ore cooked before putting into slow cooker...

You clearly need a weekend of rest m'lady! Youl get your mojo back come Monday. Just had chicken in the actifry with a babybel light in the middle. Not been a shop yet :( x
 
Hi Mrsfeeneytobe

I shall take it that you have had a well deserved rest from both work and the diet this weekend.

Well tomorrow is Monday so let's both be committed to having a good week. You've worked too hard and put in too much effort to give up now.

Think of your gorgeous coat and gorgeous dress.

C'mon xx
 
I'm back!

Took a break from it all at the weekend as my mind was mashed and i couldn't deal with much....OH took me for dinner and celebratory drinks on Saturday as we booked our flights for the wedding...yippee!
I indulged in wine and food and generally bummed about...had a killer hangover yesterday so OH made me a fry up in bed which I had to eat in 3 sittings whilst we watched Four in a Bed re-runs.

Back in the office today with my packs and water bottle ready to get back on the bus....even have my pedometer on today after the scales said I had gained 7lbs today...time to get it gone along with the rest....operation coat is back on!

Thanks for the support ladies....think I just needed a time out to sort my head out and sleep some! xx
 
Glad to have you back and focused. We all need to get our heads straight and take a time out now and then.
Congratulations on booking the flights! Bet it's all feeling very real now!! How exciting!

So-operation dress! Toot toot! Let's get you there!!

:)

Xx

Ooooh the roast potatoe was soooo yummy. Crispy on the outside yet lovely and fluffy on the inside.
Ideally I'd like to be in the 15s for Christmas but it's a big ask. I'm hoping for a big whoosh this week after my carb and cocktail fest. I need to get out these blasted 17s soon. I creep into the high 16s, come off plan, back in the 17s, on plan, back to high 16s. I need to break the cycle. Aaaarrrgh x

I get sooooo annoyed with myself. And as soon as I come off plan the foods never as nice as I imagined it. Does it stop me from continuing my binge tho - no it doesn't.
I've not been in the 15s for years.
Let's do it. Our Christmas present to ourselves x

I'll keep my spot reserved in the 15s for you while I scoot over to the 14s for a bit....I need to do this once and for all....it's boring and tiring spinning round that revolving door lol xx

I always get jelous looking at other peoples diaries who have stuck with it, thinking that could have been me. It's boring, tiring and a lot of the time I waste packs because I'm good for half the day.
Think if I could get into the 15s it would be a turning point. Psychological I know but I'd feel like I was on my way. Yep off the revolving door and on the elevator up to skinnydom x

I know! How are they able to stick with it without cheating? I'm hopeless and clearly intent on not actually winning this long war I've been having with my weight....like you my psychological barrier was and still is breaking the 15s....it's like I get so close then go wild on food like I will never eat again....I begrudge wasting real food so why do I waste packs that have worked out more in cost? Duh!! Honestly...I drive myself nuts repeatedly lol xx
