Scale is bouncing - I am going to ignore it for now ! There is literally no reason for it, so m just going to keep the faith. Made awesome soup this week - lots of veggies and spinach- too delicious ! Have done lots of exercise too Zumba, kettle bell workout and a good old gym session. Methinks I just need to be kind to myself :)

No weigh in today. Had chips and dip and bread :( negativity combined with stress got to me. Foolish girl !
Oh well today is a new day and I'm off to zumba to shake my booty and get happy :)

Hang in there, enjoy the zumba and have fun!

I keep thinking about getting kettle bells, maybe I'd like them better than the dumbbells. Kind offell off my weight lifting following the c25k, I feel good though and will keep pushing forward knowin I'll get back on track at some point.

Hope all is well Starbrite!

Ok well a good old bad weekend so have decided not to weigh in until Friday. Going to eat well, exercise and sleep. No stressing !
Haven't really got to grips with the kettle bell yet Kelijpa, but have found some interesting workouts and tried one. Its strenuous :)
Had another zumba and a really sweaty cardio session this weekend , so despite over crabbing, at least I exercised. One foot in front of the other :)
Thanks for supporting me x

Starbrite -- just checking in on you. Everything ok?

Hey ! I know I fell off the edge of a cliff in October. So did all attempts at weightless, as a consequence I am back to 198 :(
I do have a reason, not that it is a reason, because actually it isn't, but my father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at the end of October. He was given 7 weeks to live, here we are 5 journeys back to the UK, hundreds of stressful phonecalls, counseling my mother and brother, and my father is still alive-just.
I have a long documented history of difficulies with my family. I have found the last few months hideously hard, and although I haven't fallen into a vat of chocolate and cream cakes, I have eaten more than I should.
I restarted 7 days ago, and apart from one slip up have been doing well. I am just scared at the speed that the weight has gone on, the difficulty I have in focusing on it and the effect that stress has played in my life.
I am cross, but determined, him dying will not send me back to 300lbs. I hated myself at that weight. I am not too keen on me right now, but I think some meanness from my family has played a part in how I feel. Just venting, but I am trying. I genuinely want to get my size 8's back on (I have lovely clothes, but they are too small).
I need to learn to deal with the stress, and continue to make good food choices, one day at a time. Thanks for listening
