Another 4 miles walked yesterday so I think I have managed to chalk up 20 miles this week Smile

Only downside is making up the work time doing it but I am thinking positive lol

Dds have inset day today Hmm so trying to work a full day whilst keeping them entertained is going to be fun not!! Laptop on and off I go!

Good luck with weigh ins today xx

Luckoftheirish · 17/03/2014 07:03

Where did my hot mamas go?? Hope you both had a lovely weekend in the sunshine Smile

Today is the start of a brand new day and I am desperate to get healthy with all the other stuff going on iykwim

So I plan on weetabix (yuck but it's good for me) for brekkie,

Going to make some home made soup for lunch and you lot are going to inspire me for tea Smile

BlushBlushBlush

Can't believe I didn't even check in on Friday Shock was up 1 to 12 5 which pissed me off so of course instead of using that as a wake-up call I sought solace in the bottom of a crisp packet... Weekend carried on in a similar vein and failed to have a booze-free Sunday so 12 10 this morning

Going to try really hard this week...

Loti take it easy with all that's going on. You know where we are if you need us (not on here though lol!) just try not to head back down the wine and pringles road xxx

FjorGynAndHotWater · 18/03/2014 10:11

Just one off to 12 9. This could be due to the chocolatechip cookies I hhad for supper... Blush

Fasting today though and trying to do it properly rather than sneaking the odd square of chocolate!

Loti hope you are doing ok Smile

Sazz where are youuuuu????????

BingoWingsBeGone · 18/03/2014 11:29

Sorry, not back on it since I missed circuits on weds. Pretty well downhill since then Hmm

Pretty good yesterday and walked 2.5 miles today so ok so far......

I have thought about shredding today but mojo still MIA so I am drinking a cuppa and fannying round on t'internet.

LOTI - life is WAY too short for weetabix .
How about some fruity/nutty muesli?

Luckoftheirish · 19/03/2014 08:16

Lol I never ate the weetabix Smile

Being doing school runs and did a leaflet drop for work on Monday so keeping up the mileage but not much else BlushBlushBlush

Hope fast day went ok fjorny and hope you make circuits today sazz xx

BingoWingsBeGone · 19/03/2014 10:48

Good walking LOTI Smile

Not brace enough for scales, but 2k run, 1hr circuits and 10k bike . Kill or cure lol Grin

How are you doing Fjorny??

FjorGynAndHotWater · 19/03/2014 22:08

Hmmm, was 2 down this morning but had a rather chocolatey day today Blush will be lucky to break even again this week...

OP posts:
BingoWingsBeGone · 20/03/2014 07:13

Well, braved the scales through half closed eyes and was surprised by 10.9 which is 3 down on 2 weeks ago (and it has been worse since.
Moved them a few times to more even ground and stayed the same. Not convinced but will take it for now. Have odour the 'tight' dress in for work today to keep me focused HmmGrin
I had some mini eggs too yesterday Fjorn Grin and out for dinner tonight. Driving so at least save on alcohol cals!

Luckoftheirish · 20/03/2014 07:33

Well done ladies SmileSmileSmile

Continuing with the walking and have almost lost all my sugar cravings! Originally was substituting sweeties for no chocolate but since chewing gum tho not ideal my craving for sweets has almost gone Smile

Sazz I too am wearing a fitted skirt, one of those high waisted knee length denim which feels tight and very unforgiving so think that will keep me away for too much snackage!

Feeling quite bleurgh about myself at the mo and have realised I need new clothes/make up etc but uninspired to go shopping til I feel more comfortable!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 21/03/2014 07:24

Up again to 12 6.5 Shock SadSad not sure what the funk is going on or how to stop it. don't say the dreaded word exercise but think I might need to start some

Well done on kicking the choc/sweetie habit loti, that's some proper willpower! And Yay for being much lighter than you thought sazz, hope you can keep it up not like me Grin

OP posts:
BingoWingsBeGone · 21/03/2014 09:10

Nope Fjorn. Got tripped up by the lure of a dirty burger in pub last night. It was helpfully accompanied by twice cooked chips and coleslaw.

Dress was even tighter by the rnd of it so no weigh in this morning Grin

LOTI, please do add some extra food rather than just chewy as you do need energy. Anyway, according to the news this morning salt is worse than sugar

FjorGynAndHotWater · 21/03/2014 20:49

LOL Sazz I see your dirty burger and raise you a work lunch buffet Blush

OP posts:
BingoWingsBeGone · 24/03/2014 07:02

10.12.5 which is ok. Out 3 nights this week....

FjorGynAndHotWater · 24/03/2014 10:24

12 11.5 which is not good... Feeling decidedly portly, especially round my middle Blush

OP posts:
BingoWingsBeGone · 24/03/2014 19:18

Oh Fjorn - where art thou mojo???

I did ok at the weekend - kept busy and no snackage. Tried to go to the gym on sun but grumpy dd1 scuppered that so I just took Emma swimming. Did a few surreptitious jumping jacks in the pool Grin

Ok today, even managed to not eat the kit Kat my boss bought me

BingoWingsBeGone · 25/03/2014 06:50

10.11

Hope to go for a good walk/run today.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/03/2014 07:00

12 7.5 for me and a fasting day so might wee one or two more out...

OP posts:
Luckoftheirish · 25/03/2014 07:08

Go go go go ladies SmileSmileSmileSmile well done on reigning it all back inSmile

Normal school walk yesterday. Confess that I went near the scales today and really really shouldn't have ... Guessing my no chocolate/sweets is not my fail safe plan!

V v v busy in office this week as boss man is away and I am running the ship eek so hoping that will prevent any over snackage... Down side may mean less walking tho Hmm

BingoWingsBeGone · 25/03/2014 15:29

Went to the gym as wet cold and miserable outside

5k walk/run with hills & sprints
10k bike
1k row

LOTI what food do you like to eat which you makes you feel nourished and 'well' fed? Can you focus on what you do want to eat before the sweet snackage takes over?

Wow! At shrinking Fjorn Grin

BingoWingsBeGone · 26/03/2014 06:48

Down slightly to 10.10.5

Circuits today Smile

BingoWingsBeGone · 26/03/2014 10:46
