Ladies ladies - you simply MUST meet, irrespective of horse shows etc. I've been reading your diaries for so long and you're so close and have so much in common! Come on - get a date in the diary!
I've met some people from here and it's always been great (I'm always very nervous beforehand for some unknown reason), and I see Mouse each time I come to England virtually!
Trudy - you've done brilliantly. It wouldn't be a failure to move to Conso now, and consolidate your loss to date, and maybe move back subsequently... or not. I am now accepting a far higher "target weight" for myself as my brain seems to be finally accepting that I simply cannot stay as low as my eyes would like

Trudy, I'm another one in favour of moving to Conso at a weight you're confident you can maintain, rather than trying to go lower and lower. A size 14 is great and it would be so nice to be able to eat salads and summer fruits every day (except 1!) now the sun is out. I can't believe you've stuck with Cruise for so long, and lost 8 stone! Fabulous! xx

I agree your loss is nothing less than inspirational, and I know I'm older than you but I want to be a comfortable 14 because a 12 doesn't come to me easy....I want to look nice as you do you but most importantly to maintain it. If I were in my 30s yes id want to be a 10/12 but chose a substainable size you've done a fantastic life change, and if you do carry on.....well you know we love you xxx and will support the rest of your crusing xxx

Thanks guys - as I say will give it some thought - there are lots of options to consider and to have your support is great....My main aim is not to go backwards and if I feel that is a possibility then I will make a plan!!!!
Ironically today was an easy day - one of those that feels like no effort whatsoever - more of them please!
Today I had my first session with the physio - god he knows what he is doing but OMG I feel like I have been through the ringer - basically my tennis elbow and carpal tunnel is nothing to do with my hand/wrist or elbow it is down to C6/7 in my neck being sooooo locked up - when he pressed on that area I thought I was gonna faint - horrible feeling.... Now have been pummelled and pushed in every direction followed by some acupuncture - that was interesting and painful in one spot in particular - now have some exercises to do to try and keep the neck loosened...... Feel a bit like I have been 10 rounds with a good boxer so hopefully a good nights sleep will ease it all off!!! As soon as he explained what I was doing with my body I could feel it and just hope it can be put right... As he said most people he sees present with one problem - I have about 6 different things going on so no wonder I am falling apart a bit!!!!!
Had fun riding one of the horses in a display practice (we are riding in front of the Queen on 11th July) today and again it bought home how much I enjoy now being able to be back on a horse - I am not riding on the day - not ready for that yet but fun all the same!
Just got back in from rehearsal tonight - watching Fat Fetish programme - oh dear not my thing even though I love food!!!
So PP day
B - 2 muffins
L - chicken with dukan BBQ sauce
D - chicken with dukan BBQ sauce/ 2 muffins/tofu creme/rhubarb
So not exactly inspirational food wise but was busy at both lunch and dinner time so kinda grabbed on the run so to speak!!!

Hi Trudy
I love all 'fat' programmes! Fat Fetish is on the box ready to be watched and there's a programme about secret eating later in the week too! :O
Thank goodness Dukan came along to put us in control of food, rather than the other way around.
Enjoy your day; hope the physio has helped.

I'm glad you got to see the physio at last. I have the same neck issues so I know how it feels. Do the exercises RELIGIOUSLY because the physio treatment has only a temporary effect, it's the stretching and strengthening that can alleviate the problem long-term. Good luck xx

Well feel a bit like I have been run over by a bus - neck feels like it is struggling to hold my head up so I guess things have been jigged around a bit!!! Fair day at work - had fun riding our pattern again - laughed soooo much when we went wrong but the horses picked up on our good mood and really enjoyed it!!!
Had a BBQ tonight - girls quite cleared out my fridge and freezer of meat!!! Cooked sausages, chicken, steak and burgers and everything turned out really well - sorry gals did have a wee tipple of vodka - just the one large one but gone straight to my head!!!! Ohhhhh errr!!!
So PP day
B - 2 muffins
L - 4 boiled eggs
D - steak/ chicken/ one and half burgers (ooppps)/ 2 muffins/ large vodka!
Feeling v v tired - have a slightly later start in the morning as Ben at Pre-school/ school so up at 7.30 instead of 6.30!!!
Just watching Secret Eaters!!!!!
Nite, nite all!

Bet the drink went to your head faster coz of the heat! Sounds like you've had a nice day. What channel is Fat Fetish and Secret Eaters on? My remote is bust so have to go up and down by hand and in ruth don't watch TV usually but these sound fun
Oh, and I think you have done fantastically with your weight loss and THE most important thing is maintaining. I so don't want any of us to be part of the yo-yo statistics that are even heavier two years on. Better to maintain at a gorgeous size 14 then struggle below and then yo-yo. Wish I still had my size 14 boobs. And if you could stop now then you have a really healthy attitude to yourself. Have a good day tomorrow.

CD both those programs are on Channel 4 - sooooooo funny to watch the Fat Fetish one - all I could think though was I remember how horrible it was to start to feel restricted in what you can do when you are huge and seeing them sat there eating and eating made me feel ill..... the poor lady who's son looked after her - what a life to lead not being able to go out and do stuff and live in a v v dingy apartment...... Sad.com.....
Vodka had gone straight to my head and boy did I sleep well last night - like a log!!!
Sun has gone missing today - hope it's just temporary but we did have some drizzle too!!! Actually dressed Ben in shorts and t-shirt - hope he doesn't get cold!!! LOL

So the sun decided to come back again thank goodness! Rode a couple of horses today and was sweating when I got of so hopefully burnt a few calories! Ben had a good day at school and we headed to the local farm shop for an ice cream and to say hello to their goats! When we came home he wanted to clean my car which was fine - what wasn't fine was that he also washed one of my girls cars who had left her windows down - hmmmmm a very wet set of car seats........Naughty Ben!!!
Another good day Dukan wise - not sure if I am gonna do a PV day tomorrow or stick with a week of PP - will make a decision in the morning..... With Ellie going onto conso this week it has given me even more food for thought! As long as I can I am gonna stick with Cruise - as I said earlier - now that I have given myself the option of conso I feel much better as I know I can move on if I want to.......
PP day
B - 2 muffins
L - chicken/cottage cheese/balsamic vinegar/ tofu creme and rhubarb
D - chicken/cottage cheese/ balsamic vinegar/ tofu cremen/ 2 muffins/ teaspoon caramel sauce
Never been a cottage cheese fan but love it with balsamic and some chicken....... So much so that I had it twice today!!.
Booked into a show on Sunday - may just take two horses for the fun of it as they have a ride and drive class which would be fun - mind you means getting two horses ready so may get lazy and just take the one!
Neck still feeling tired after the physio and struggling slightly to do the exercises but will just keep plugging away!
