SizzleSazz · 01/01/2013 18:57

Christ Fjorn, i you are worth 3 blushes, feck knows how many i need!

Walked/ran about 6 miles today, although cancelled out by Xmas cake and now my heel is agony again Sad

Diet starts tomorrow (although will be off again for Birthday weekend). REALLY need to start now, otherwise i will carry on piling weight on. No idea how much i weigh now, but can't fit into loads of clothes so i know it is NOT good. All totally and utterly my own fault, just need to get back into the vibe and hoping a working week structure might help me. Lets hope so.......

luckoftheirish · 01/01/2013 19:42

Welcome back sazzSmile

Gym yest but body weight on Wine and crap has put paid to thatBlush

Also starting Tom have just over 6 months to wow in wedding dress so have to start now!!!

SizzleSazz · 01/01/2013 19:44

I have a wedding in 1 months time. Oops Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 02/01/2013 11:09

Right, I shovelled in my last chocolate brownie and quality street last night, finished drinking until the weekend (only two days off but after 13 days full-on this will be a bit of an achievement...)

Got weighed this morning and am, rather horrifically, +11.5 since 20 December ShockShockShock. Obviously (hopefully!) quite a bit of that will be water retention, but quite a lot of it is actual lard Blush. Going to attempt to low-carb proerly and see what happens...

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 02/01/2013 20:06

Slightly better today with grapefruit & salad. However i did have a small piece of Xmas cake which has been finished off. Lots of running round cleaning and tidying, so hopefully some burnt off.

Taking the girls swimming tomorrow and maybe try and do a shred - girls have promised to do it with me Grin

SizzleSazz · 03/01/2013 09:36

Omg, I can't believe I actually braved the scales Shock

Up 3 since 16 nov, which was my last weigh in here.

So, bottom line is, I am 11.2, a stone heavier than last Easter. After my birthday I shall get back on it and really focus on food as exercise will be less due to working and still poorly foot Sad

My friend shreds before work - I may see if this works for me or maybe not lol

Very impressive put-onage there Fjorn Grin

SizzleSazz · 03/01/2013 09:37

Grapefruit for breakfast.

Will be salad for lunch.

May see if I can get DH to do FF with me as he wants to lose too.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 03/01/2013 11:11

Glad you are imprressed sazz Grin

Are you actually quite relieved to be not up that much over Christmas? Should shift it easy!

I am +18 on last Easter... but already down 1.5 since yesterday with a goodly walk to look forward to this afternoon.

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 03/01/2013 12:29

Yes, I can't quite believe it tbh. However I do know that it is not bloating as I have just been steadily pitting it on, rather than being 'light' and then having a big blowout.

Also no muscle tone whatsoever, so when that returns (hopefully!), again it will have an impact I'm sure.

So I know it will take time to shift, but I really want to so here's hoping it gets better as I have been dreadful Blush

Enjoy your walk Smile

SizzleSazz · 03/01/2013 12:30

Oh, just taken dd's swimming and now have a headache. Hmm

luckoftheirish · 03/01/2013 14:10

Half an hour pt straight from work, am shattered,

Scales going completely the wrong way too, need to focus Hmm

FjorGynAndHotWater · 04/01/2013 13:19

Friday weigh in... another 2.5 off from yesterday but still 12st 10lb BlushBlushBlush Hoping to lose 10lb this month but targets don't seem to have any effect so will just have to do my best and see what happens...

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 04/01/2013 13:39

Evens here, but am drinking beer at the airport. Oops. Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 05/01/2013 09:43

Fill your boots with cheese etc sazz, have a lovely weekend and start on Monday Grin

All undone here , DH had a packet of crisps and the floodgates opened... But at least all the ones I like are gone now, as is the last of the Christmas cheese so a bit easier to keep on track Hmm

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 06/01/2013 12:02

Gym done followed by play swimming with dds. Severe water retention going on Blush not sure why as totm on due for another two weeks so drinking copious amounts of water to combat.

However out for lunch in a bit will try and choose healthy!!

Sazz hope you are having a wonderful time Smile

Hope you are back on the straight and narrow fjorny Smile

luckoftheirish · 08/01/2013 09:27

Couldn't be bothered to go to the gym this amBlush so walked to school and ran home Smile 1mile walk 1 mile run, not a lot but feel better for the fresh air. Gonna walk to shop later another 0.5 miles and will be happy with that.

Scales are going crazy in the wrong direction tho Hmm
