  • Well my "proper dinner" is cooking at the moment. I did have an "invite" from Dom to go out for dinner in central London, but I just couldn't be bothered to get on the bus and I told him I had healthy food to eat up! My halo is positively glowing DAHLING!
  • Errr, I can't help you there Frus i've never heard of Seven for mankind jeans

    I totally blew it yesterday did so well then went down to workshop last night because I was bored and hubby started giving me beer then when I made his tea I nicked some chips and made a chip butty then when he made an icecream cone I had to have one too..I ate it even though i'm not keen on that brand soooo I ended up having around 2000 cals and 38g fat I've got to think of something here because what i'm doing ain't working
  • Oh dear cat! God knows what to suggest! A health farm?? Pack hubby off to his workshop with his junkfood and just keep the healthy stuff in the house??

    2000 cals ain't too bad anyways, that's a maintenance figure!
  • Yeh..I was surprised actually well, its friday and its "against the law" as Veggie would say not to drink alcohol on friday or saturday night so I can't see today being much better i'm off for my lunch..chickburger on bun with superfries
  • My laws only apply to this country! I haven't taken over Canada yet.
  • No? Well the rules us so i'm going to abide by "Veggie Laws" or make some of my own up I made some high fibre cookies/cakes yesterday and I can't keep my mitts off them think i'll go out for a lottery ticket keep my mind off grub
  • Grrrr went to the mall bought some lottery tix and scratch and wins then went to walmart for a walk around ended up buying a mag and a bag of my favourite chocs came home and ate the whole bag it came to 720 cals and 36g fat so it will have been a "binge" today Veggie
  • I'm back from Cornwall, and having to catch up on a whole week's worth of posts! Kim is unpacking and doing washing and all that sort of thing, and I'm just sitting at the 'puter catching up on all the gossip!

    The tent didn't blow away or let in too much water, and I tried to have a good holiday without letting the healthy lifestyle go to pot. In the 7 days we were there I had one and a half cream teas, one (huge) ice-cream, three bacon butties, one fry-up, NO cornish pasties, NO chips, about 3 pints of lager and 2 bottles of red wine, and 5 pub/restaurant meals, all of which included fresh veggies. Though we only did one longish walk (6 miles of the coastal path taking in Lamorna Cove) we did lots of little ones...and I came back a pound lighter than when I left! Yay me!

    I loved Cornwall and the camping was fun, but it's nice to be back so I can find out what everyone else has been up to!

    Oh, and I mustn't forget to say - I bought a sweatshirt in Newquay and I had to get the L rather than the XL (and I was ALMOST tempted to get the M!) I can't remember the last time I bought something that wasn't an XL! Every time I wore it for the rest of the holiday I felt like Calista Flockhart!

    Holidays are nice but it's good to be home...

    Yay that's the way it should be.
  • Wow Well Done with the weightloss Janey glad you had a nice holiday
  • Back from a weekend of drinking and shopping in Cardiff.

    Two of my favourite things in the world... Bought lots of cheap skinny clothes (let's all pray to the god of Primark) and felt hot hot hot on Saturday night. That was helped by the fact that my top was (whisper it) a size 12. They didn't have it any bigger, so I tried it on and it looked surprisingly good. Admittedly my jeans were still size 16, but there's definite progress. Plus I met a load of people I've not seen for a while who were suitably impressed.
  • Boo Hoo, I am going downhill.... Okay first I have kept up the swimming, but I think I am worried about taking the Glucose Tolerence Test on Wednesday morning that I have been comfort eating a little over the past 24 hours... which is bad, so bad it kept me awake last night!

    I know just want to get Wednesday over so I can get back onto track! I am not weighing myself, I dare now cause that will make me DEPRESSED... but I am guessing a few pounds are back on since about Saturday....

    Oh well I fell off the wagon, I will jump back on!
  • DON'T get on the scales Maz what you don't know won't hurt you get back on track girl and forget about it
  • Hey did you ever make a decision about the new place? did I miss that?

    I love Primark YP think the last time I spoke to my daughter she said all the winter stuff is out now
  • Fitting end to the month I resolved to 'work hard' at losing weight--no exercise, loads of junk food, plastered most of the weekend. I don't think I've actually lost any weight at all the whole month, hah! Oh well, there's always September...
