[BonkeyHasGOLDMollocks]

Its tomorrow.

Lets make the most of it!

Positive thinking only ladies!

Whatever weight/height/BMI newbies always welcome!

Afternoon all, back from work and Chilli tonight, doing Ok on my points today and stuffed my face with chicken salad and fruit salad at lunchtime. This is the danger zone for me.

Your weekend sounds fun Kate.
And oooh arrrr to you too Bonkey

Well, I havnt actually eaten anything today yet because I left my lunch at home...I have however had a cappuccino, espresso and a mocha stupid free coffee machine, I'm suprised I havnt given myself the shakes like when I have pro plus

Was going to have a chicken salad tonight but think I might have something a bit heavier...decisions decisions

Well done to everyone who has lost, and to everyone who hasnt or maintained its a new thread a new MM and next week will be new figures on them scales!!

MM ou must be very hungry

Bollocks, I have just eaten 4 fairy cakes :(

Admitting it so I will not have anymore!

Milkshake Have something heavier and then don't pick. Should get you through, chicken salad may not do the trick if you haven't eaten all day.

Afternoon everyone.

Had a GREAT day today!

Been working on this project I started whilst a student, final deadline is next week so all this week I'm going back to uni to edit some video. Anyway, lunchtime rolled round and I went and got a sandwich and a bottle of water.

And a brownie. Which I had 2 bites of, then binned. It was too sweet!

I've had 2 protein bars too, one before, one after the gym.

I'm feeling really proud of myself. I'm under calories, and I defeated one demon, which was making bad choices when at uni, for convenience sake.

Good day. A week of these and I'll have lost some more weight :)

I wasnt the slightest bit hungry until I started cooking ds' dinner, Now i'm famished and could eat a scabby horse!

Found you Thanks stealth and chips for the heads-up! Well after falling off the wagon for one day yesterday (and putting on 3lb overnight according to my scales) I'm back on the wagon today. Made some choc chip cookies for the boys and their cousin this afternoon and resisted a) licking the bowl) and b)tasting them when they were ready! I might have one later though as they are pretty small and at least I know what's in them.

DH will (grudgingly) work from home Weds, and we'll work out annual leave for all of next year to prevent that happening again.
I have a salmon pasta bake in the oven, it smells absolutely gorgeous .
Bonkey we knew each other before MN.
Hair have a lovely holiday, remember, the fruit and veg is fresh and delicious in Spain, and less guilt-inducing. I'll be stuck here with all the weather (and a very bored DD) until you return.

Sorry Bonkey I thought you were asking if you knew us in rl.

Yes we know each other. IMST is my neighbour and good friend. Some people in rl know that I use mumsnet but she is the only one who knows my nn. Also our daughters are best friends and in the same class.

I've done well today. Only eaten my breakfast biscuits. I'm not even hungry. Yay. Holiday tomorrow and I'm not even going to think about all the wine I'm going to drink. Hopefully I'll be doing lots of exercise to make up for it. :)

Thanks IMST. Yes, lots of fruit and veg. :)

No worries. Everything makes sense now

Sorry, that sounded really flirty
I'm of anyone who gets to be in lovely hot places while I brave the British summer yet again, especially my parents, who regularly email me to let me know which exotic island they're on this week. One of these decades...

Well, today is a write off.

I don't know whats wrong with me all of a sudden. Thank god we don't have much in because I honestly think I would just work my way through the cupboards .

Oh well, back on to tomorrow !

My period came today sorry TMI so probably a bad day to start as first day of period requires chocolate.
So tomorrow my friend and I are joining SW again, will go for a few weeks then do it my own at home.

Well I'm just back from weights and cardio sesh at the gym, and my first ever spin class...

Oofft... My poor you know what is feeling it and my legs nearly rubbered as I left down the stairs but I did it!!

And before I went I divvied up a whole huge bag of walkers sensations into five freezer bags of 30grams...

Hello Thankyou for the welcome on the other thread that went a bit odd! Hmm I clearly cant be a feminist And want a healthy bmi anyway ignore!

Today has gone quite well, cereal for breakfast, falafel for lunch and jacket potato with cheese and beans for dinner. Have a fruit salad in the fridge if I feel peckish.

I am loving Motivational Monday, it kept me really focussed today. What do we call Tuesday?

Think Thin Tuesday ??

Been used before but seems fitting.

Thanks eighty I will try wake up tomorrow and put today behind me! :)

Oooh sounds good, I was going to go for Try Hard Tuesday but Think Thin has more of a ring to it

We could have Try Hard Thursday?

I think we may have had something similar as well so great minds

Try Hard Tuesday sounds good.

eighty I've given up chocolate. I can't be a social chocolate eater like you. I find I crave it too much in the week then. The first week was really tough but I actually don't miss it now. (How long have these threads been going?)

It was really, really hard though and I do sometimes still get the odd craving. I'm just better at ignoring it. :)

I had a short measure glass of wine this evening. DH said "would you like the last glass of the bottle?" and when I declined, and suggested we could put the bottle in the fridge for another day, he said "wow! You've got way more willpower than me"
Now the bottle is in the fridge, and I feel actually pretty empowered.
Off to bed now.
