I say less steps 18krubbish Food though

Argh up 3 pounds on scales. Paying for the wine/gin and lack of exercise over this week. It ends here. No booze until our night out in London at end of next week. Good week of exercise in, then if I’ve lost this bloat it will be a good incentive not to go mad in London.

I’m taking a diet break this week. Lots of events and half term working eats into fitness time. Back to it 7 June

You really need to take a proper diet break life, it's been a long time threatened and not done fully. Step away from the diet mentality for the full 7 days - it will do you the world of good.
Had a day full of eating due to travel, airports/planes make me even more munchy'ish than normal and that's saying something! Nearly 12,000 steps done from potter with bigger child & potter with himself. Having a coffee in the shade while they go for a swim. Early to mid 20's at the minute, Ab Fab 😊

Not have a wonderful time it sounds blissful!
Life l can only echo Not's sentiments have a good break lovely
Gen you will get your handle on this it will be off asap great job sweetheart Been busy again , hence food ok , never stops here it's like a hamster wheel

Thanks you are right. Lovely day of food with friends today

Good, it's not before time life, it's not east but it's possible, enjoy it ❤️

Easy ffs not east - sorry bloody fat fingers!!

not sounds dreamy - enjoy every minute!

mrs sounds like you’re busy busy as usual 💖

Gen no sooner do l complete one task them another rears its ugly head, or at least that is what it feels like 🙄
How the hell l am this bloody fat l don't know 🤣
Not ohh it sounds lovely there have a wonderful time 🤗
Life enjoy yourself till the 7th and see what comes of it 🤗
Am going to the shops for a bit of retail therapy 😃

Thanks so much mrs, we have a proper appreciation for holidays after the last 2 years. There is no fair play or justice in the weight loss battle, just remember without your level of understanding about it, you could be stones heavier. At the end of the day, the fact we struggle with this means we struggle with v tough addiction - we're not likely to start starving ourselves and nor should we. That's a higher level of hellish I'm glad I never visited

Gen you are so right , my God we could be suffering from Bulimia or Anorexia God forbid. There's a lot to be said for being overweight and trying to lose it 💐

I’m up. And I’m outside. Doing a 40 minute walk/run.

gym yesterday. Managed 12 pull ups on the machine. Never done that before. Win for me.

em that’s impressive - I have literally no upper body strength at all 😂
its my last weigh in with PT tomorrow before I stop with her on 7th June. Ended up losing 13 pounds so pleased enough tho last few months have been more maintenance and I do want to lose 5-7 more pounds.
Strength workout today 45 mins and will get a few steps in at work.
At MILs again from Friday, dreading it.

Good luck at mil gen.
urgh i feel
like an egg on legs but will restart Tuesday

I’ve lost the 3 pounds I put on, must have been carb and wine bloat.
how come you’re up so early life 245 is crazy! Is it for hols?
our coffee machine is playing up - I’m declaring an international emergency!

Of to Rome until Sunday. No diet here
c&c greggs while in security queue. Winner

Slipping back in - finished up with online coach Tues but I didn't do last two weekly check ins

I'm fairly sure I started out at 91.5kgs and I'm currently 91.3kgs, have been for weeks so I guess I'm maintaining. I took a semi diet break this week but my shopping was done and it's ingrained in me to eat healthily anyhow.

Gen fantastic results with yours

Been for Afternoon tea with my BF for her 60th birthday so have not been very good but you are only 60 once she tells me lol
Gen Sorry you are with your MIL today , l really empathise with you However that is excellent you have got the 3lbs off & 13lbs off in all well done!

Em well done sounds like your core strength is excellent !
Happier great work well done !
Not l haven't forgot you l hope you are having the very best of time

mrs thanks 😊 it was a bit stressful - she showed me the lovely flowers DH Ex sent her about three times 🤪 and then asked if he was coming again on his own soon….

Lunch - had coronation chicken without the bread on a salad base with a handful of chips and sparkling water and black coffee. Feeling very angelic but now going to down a bottle of wine to deal with the stress 😂

I get you! l get you!
Just grin and bear it and get out and sink the bottle of wine to cope with it , l don't blame you one bit! You & your poor DH . l feel so sorry for you, she has treated you both so badly . How you didn't put bleach in the flower water l don't know! Chun up sweetie , you have the prize

Afternoon everyone
Have been to Cardiff Castle to see Prince William, Kate , they bought the children with them They were so well behaved bless them!
Am going to have a takeaway curry tonight while watching the concert but not eating until then , to try to lessen the damage.
Have a wonderful day everyone

We had a very calorific day in London - suckling pig roast for lunch with wine, a glass of wine outside after the art exhibit and then dinner was salmon rillettes followed by stone bass on a creamy risotto. Couldn’t manage desert. More wine and a G&T. Have escaped a hangover as it was all quite spaced out and also stopped drinking at 12ish but stayed up til 2 talking to friends and drank water all that time.

Superbly calorific weekend. But back at gym tomorrow.

my core strength is getting better.

Im like an egg on legs. No weight tomorrow as going out for lunch.
restart Tuesday
