Thank you all for thinking of us, sounds like he might be showing a smidge of improvement today. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Goldenness continues. Planning a good long walk today, and will try and remember to plank and squat!

I really do need to start lifting / resistance training. The more I read about "skinny fat" the more I realise I've sleepwalked right into it.

Quim I have everything crossed for that smidge and much more

I agree about the resistance training. I'm desperate to start but I don't think this blummin shoulder will ever recover Angry

I'm 11st 4lbs today. That's 2.5lbs off for the month. Or 6 if you count the ruddy 3.5 I put on right at the end of Feb Confused

It isn't bad here. Weirdly the good weather makes me feel worse as I have nowhere to go in it.

lastqueenofscotland · 14/03/2017 12:36

Trying for a super golden day as off out for breakfast tomorrow.

FreeNiki · 14/03/2017 13:51

The boditrax machine is bust here but i seem to be dropping on the normal scale. Best to wait until boditrax is fixed?

HairsprayBabe · 14/03/2017 13:54

Stick with one scale Niki you won't get accurate readings otherwise and will drive your self round the bend!

What is for dinner folks?
We are having Cheese and Swede Gratin with green beans - YUM!

Also running this evening after work followed with a bit more bootcamp Leggings were falling down as I went yesterday so will need to find something else to wear!

HairsprayBabe · 14/03/2017 13:59

OH! Also I just booked another holiday, apartment is about two miles from the beach, going mid August would love to be able to run to the beach by then!

I almost managed a full mile last night so I think it is a legit goal for the summer!

FreeNiki · 14/03/2017 14:30

Im having some lean meat, maybe chicken or maybe some prawns for dinner with some rice / quinoa I think.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 14/03/2017 17:44

Right, chicken Caesar salad has been consumed. That's it for the day (fast day). I will have another cup of tea in a bit and go to bed early. I Shredded this afternoon - please let me lose some weight!

lastqueenofscotland · 14/03/2017 18:27

I really feel like my head is back in the game today! Onwards and downwards

QuimReaper · 14/03/2017 18:28

I'll be having prawn, mushrooms and spinach stir fried with a bit of goat's cheese.

I did just under 18,000 steps today! Phewf!

Dad looking a much better colour today Smile

TVHubbyClaire · 14/03/2017 18:53

That's great news quim, hope he continues to get better and well done on all those stepsSmile

HairsprayBabe · 14/03/2017 19:24

Glad your dad is doing better Quim Flowers

I am closing the kitchen on 712 calories, and I did my run and I have a bit of bootcamp to do once DP has done the washing up.

Glad you are all getting back in the zone, lets kick Linda's arse!

BitOutOfPractice · 14/03/2017 20:00

I'm a bit stressed getting everyting ready with work and home before I go away. And yes, I know how much of a spoiled princess that makes me sound.

I've forgone the gym and am getting my steps in for the fitbit by dancing in the kitchen while I make the kids' dinner.

They are having what we like to call "Crap En Croute"

Sorry I've not been on here. It's when I should be on here that I sneak off and comfort eat.

I suppose I'm a bit down. Morale is low at work and cakes are mounting up in the staff room. I don't even eat cakes, normally.

I've also got an assessment due in that has me reaching for crappola of all kinds.

Self indulgence over. I'm off to try to not eat.

Glad your dad is feeling better quim. Hope you are okay Niki.

Thanks stellarFlowers

Keepon It's tough isnt it? No idea what we can do to stay on the straight and narrow.

QuimReaper · 14/03/2017 21:54

koko when you're prepping food, either use a tooth whitening strip or chew gum so you can't put anything in your mouth. Don't spit whatever it is out until you've put everything away and preferably made yourself a cup of herbal tea.

lastqueenofscotland · 14/03/2017 22:12

Sorry to hear so many are struggling

I've onlh just got my head back in the game after emotially eating all last week over job stress but have nailed two golden days

Squiffy01 · 15/03/2017 07:00

quim glad your dad is doing better I hope he keeps improving.

I'm going to try that chewing gum trick nothing else seems to be working.

I just can not get my head in the game. Which then gets me down so what do I do? Eat more Angry
