Is anyone feeling all MOTIVATED on this lovely sunny MONDAY

[StealthPolarBear]

I am :o

Carp, did that post. Am on Kindle and the format has all changed.

I've got terrible muscle cramps and weakness tonight. Can only be the evil sugar withdrawal :(

Or it could be the carp!

Seriously, I hope it passes quickly and you feel better in the morning.

Afternoon!

Well, my fave manager in the world went yesterday so I haven't been too well behaved. Been sobbing into my biscuits

I have however been reminded of a wedding I have to go to mid November so I'm pledging to lose a stone by then. That's 3 months so doable, we shall see!

Reastie you are doing so well. What you are doing requires so much willpower you should be really proud of yourself.

Kato how are they getting on at school? Mine starts in a few weeks and I can't work out how I'm feeling!

Well. I can't actually remember what I originally started at. But I know I've put on a nearly a stone and half from when I fell off the thread feeling all cocky and slim.

I'm doing the whole wait till Monday thing now and working my way through the junk food I impulse bought this morning. Marshmallows and penguins. Nom nom nom!

Do it with me on Monday Eighty and see if we can get a lb off by the week after?

Can you remember what, if anything you did differently last time?

toe you see you need the thread, you must stay you cannot escape . I'm so sorry about your favourite manager.

there you go. If you feel an urge to have something naughty you must come on here to be unstuck (and we reserve the right to keep you stuck)

Can I have a huge moan please. I am seriously in agony with muscle and leg pain. I was up half last night with it and had it all day and it's getting worse again now. Like a cross between terrible flu like aches and pains and restless leg. I've never known anything like it . My whole body also feels lethargic and I've got a headache. Honestly, it's scary this is all down to sugar . On the plus side, the sugar craving and hunger today have been marginally better. Probably because I've been too busy moaning to anyone who will listen about my muscle pain. Please be gone tomorrow . I've given up even thinking about what I'm eating and how many calories it's got in it as I'm just focusing on the sugar free, so I'm probably eating far too much. Also miserable as aching is meaning I can't workout :(

Tis true, the thread has magic!

Reastie that sounds awful, I don't have any ideas other than maybe a hot bath and that radox muscle soak. Is it true lack of salt gives you cramp? Have you taken tablets and do they make any difference?

Hmmm, where's stealth?!

Morning all.

Eighty, I think we all have times like that. It sounds like you are nearly ready to get back on it.

Posted too soon.

Toe, I'm sorry about your manager. You are sounding quite motivated again though and that is a good thing.

Reastie, that sounds awful. You poor thing. I can't think what to suggest except you are doing so well so don't slip.

No idea where Stealth has gone.

hi all, touch wood the muscle pain is better than it was. Still there and painful, but I managed to sleep a bit better last night. Iwas starting to get worried. toe I've been pouring salt on my food (well, sprinkling) in the hope it's helping, which is weird as I usually spend my time trying to avoid salty things.

Not been able to weigh as bathroom redecoration means scales are goodness knows where.

eighty you've still got a couple of months or so to go until you'll be in your winter coat (hopefully). 1 - 2 lbs a week and you could be a stone down by then. I know what you mean about the addict thing.

Right now I could eat a whole chocolate cake and I still haven't been able to watch the bake off. Was strong enough to make choc biscuits with DD though. I've been smelling them alot

I'm about, summer's a quiet time all over MN...

I'm here just having a terrible time with workman doing the ceiling in our house, culminating in him suspectedly marking up parts which we could easily sourced (same brand etc) for £50 and he charged us £250. We very politely queried this and were met with aggressive threats and I had to leave the house yesterday as I was scared he would come over and fulfil his threats. We're getting trading standards involved. It was a nightmare but today is a fresh day and hopefully will be better. I can tell you it took some will power not to eat chocolate yesterday, but I'm still sugar free. Hunger has subsided a little but still eating more than usual (even if it is sugar free).

eighty did teeth brushing work?

Picture attached to keep you all on the right track with lunch. It's my pudding I've just finished. Had some plain yoghurt with it too. See, although I'm not eating anything with sugar added in, I'm still eating sugar in fruit, but i'm only really having it in its natural state with the occasional bit of dried fruit so I figure it's healthy. It's the reastie sugar free method none of your 'no fruit' nonsense.

eighty he left the boxes giving all the light info, and it seemed so expensive DH looked them up and rang up a few places. Workman went aggressive and threatening as soon as we dared mention politely could he confirm that's how much they actually cost and it all went nasty. Why is it always me getting these dodgy people .

I'm so craaaaaaap :(

uh oh toe . Care to share? (and I don't mean share the chocolate )

Not overly stuffing my face, just eating normally when I should be watching what I eat. I was so set to start Monday then just carried on as normal. I am disgusted by my body so why is that not enough to motivate me?!

Rant over!

Hope everyone is doing good this week, Reastie can I have some of your self control please?!

Reastie I am amazed at your will power! Sounds like everyone has a lot going on at the moment. I feel like I haven't stopped lately. We got back from holiday to find a leak in the kitchen and it had damaged all the units. Trying to sort the insurance has been a pain in the bum! Then I've decided we need a major clear out as the house is over run with toys, throw in a friend moving house and I've not had a minute. Plus it's my busiest time in work! The main downside is I've not got the time to cook so I'm not eating great but it needs to change. I've got two christenings coming up and I dreading finding something to wear coz I'm always the dumpy one and looking at my holiday photos depresses me. DH is no help as I tell him I'm gonna be good and every night this week he's made me a dessert and as I don't have reasties will power and it's put in front of me I'm eating it! I've firmly told him tonight no more so hopefully he'll listen. On a plus note everytime I remember I'm trying to do squats so things like brushing my teeth- I'll squat, waiting for the kettle- ill squat

Posted too soon but not a bad thing as I was rambling. Basically can you tape my mouth too!

Lol wanna I used to do squats in the shower! Back when I had a grip!

I'm also so good during the morning it's lunch where I think I'll make up for it tomorrow and have a panini and choccy and whatever else takes my fancy and just never seem to get off square 1.

Right I am going to be under calories tomorrow. I will brush my teeth, drink tons of water, and any other hints and tips I can think of. Just one day. We can do it.

That sounds like a right nightmare, hope it all gets sorted soon, that's the last thing you want to deal with after being on holiday. Did you have a nice time away though?

I'm staying at my parents house and dog sitting for 2 weeks (2morrow is end of week 1) 5 puppies, a dog and a 4 year old is bloody hard work! I keep saying to dp(who is conveniently having a whole week to himself at home) to never let me agree to do it again. After staying at my grandads and now here I realise I don't like staying out I want my own stuff around me. And to know where everything is!!

Oops that was a bit of a ramble. Think i'm craving adult company!
