Aww congrats on the dress gen, love a pre-loved dress. Mines bundled in a dress bag, but I bloody loved it, great memories, coming up on too many years to remember. You'll do fine with it fitting, you're in the zone - this will keep you there😊

Great news on the dress gen. Great motivator for staying on the zone.

im starting again for 10 days until holiday weekend .

Early morning walk has nearly 10,000 steps in the bag, school run then home for breakfast & work. 5 sleeps to hols, doubtful I'll lose a stone by then😂 Oh well, never mind, I could have gained a stone in the 6 weeks so dropping most of the holiday gain is a win. Should be well enough behaved this week, have a upper back twinge that I'm hoping doesn't progress to anything worse. Typical pre-hols muscle pull

Great steps not! Exciting about hols too, it’s so soon now.
My Apple Watch challenge this month was to walk or run 300km, I’m not going to get near it sadly.
I have a body pump class and spin planned this morning, then a day of marking and admin as no contact hours today.
Have to reschedule some classes so we can be with MIL tomorrow for her first MacMillan visit.
Going to weigh tomorrow after a day of absolutely no booze today (wedding shop gave me Prosecco and then we tasted the red wine for wedding party yesterday!)

Hope today goes as well as it n with macmillan. Take all the help is my advice
aerobics done though me feets are hurting

13900 steps so far and still got 300 cal
to eat

I did body pump 50 min and spin 30, 11,000 steps. Hoping cals come in around 1400. Need to claw back after weekend excess.
Going to watch Derry girls with dinner!

I love Derry girls . The very last episode made we well up. The one before not so much though lots of others cried

Got up at 530 and did body pump 40 mins, walked last 25 mins into work 5000 steps.
MILs today will be very sedentary, leaving work at 12 after my lesson this morning and driving straight there. Bringing trainers so I can have a walk while DH spends a little time with MIL on their own at some stage.
Made a healthy car picnic of whole meal pitta with ham, salad and a box of chopped up veg and hummus.

Good idea to do car picnic and walk prep.
aerobics done. No pump this week

You sound super organised gen, great planning.
I've decided no weights this week as I have a twinge in my upper back and an ache in my lower, I'm not planning on taking back pain on holiday! It'll be steps alone for my activity. Starting to pull together stuff like wash bag essentials, sun creams, cables & what not. Lots of lovely summer dresses bought, new sandals etc. Looking forward to a bit of glam😉 Pity I'm so pasty, tried gradual tanner on my legs but it's a bloody disaster and now I need it to wear off in the few blotchy bits it took to. I wish pasty were the new tan.

Early morning work & 9,000 in the bag, got around 12,000 yesterday so pretty much on track. Trying to get my head straight on what I have to do for the next 3 days, it's like a military op getting work finished and life admin sorted.

Walk not work, I do no early morning work😂

8 calories left today soo 351 banked since Monday
15600 steps today

Over by a lot, hump day hiatus or hump day hullabaloo. Meh

Gen your dress sounds lovely
l just know you are going to look absolutely beautiful
Not it happens, forgive and forget, tomorrow is another day, another dollar , now can l think of any more cliche sayings to cheer you up
life you are so right , accept all the help you can get Gen
Been fine so busy not posted for 2 days , so much to do , get home from MumBobs and collapse in a heap on the sofa

hope Today was better not.
ok today here plodding on. Tomorrow will be planned to be the same

Same here life plodding along too. Busy as hell which helps a lot , need to try more exercise but will have to be careful 🤗
Hope everyone is ok and well take care everyone 😀

Weight is going up fml. Hope it’s just the transition

I'm experiencing scales hike. I wish I hadn't bothered checking now, I see a number & I feel so crap. I've spent nearly 6 weeks attempting to shift the holiday gain, and now it's looks like a maintain. So I'm likely to come back with another chunk of weight to add to my collection. I'm done, I can't lose weight, I can only maintain this weight with difficulty. So I may make my peace with it. Life's too short for this shit

My period came 6 days early during a work meeting - came through pants and tights but thankfully not skirt. So annoyed. I then felt crap yesterday so ended up with no workout and crap steps. Food was ok tho. We are at neighbour’s house for dinner and I’m bringing pudding so I don’t have to have any without offending.
I should manage a workout today and steps as feeling a bit better.
MacMillan were amazing but MIL was so horrible to them, I was so embarrassed. They said they’ve seen it all before!

Hope you are having a better day gen. I’m muddling through today as us since 430 and currently on 20k steps

Exercise v bad for a few days, cals around maintenance but up on scales, assume this is partly TOTM.
feeling a bit better today so hoping for good steps and a strength class. We are visiting SIL tomorrow which I am hoping is nice and won’t end in aggro over MIL care.

Been having a quiet day today after a very busy week although it is great for my food intake
Life just keep going it will level off great steps though wow!
Not have a wonderful holiday lovely
Gen it's horrible when that happens re your period sweetheart
Am not at all surprised at your MIL being hateful to the nurses
Have a lovely weekend everyone, hope your weather is as good as ours here atm

Less steps to today but sore feets. Jobs day. Food ok
