Management Starts today!!!!

[tulips]

Hi Claire,

Sometimes we learn more from our slips along the way and it makes us know that one nibble while SSing can begin the downfall...I won't put any food in my mouth until AAM week.

It was not too quiet here today, we have done near on 400 posts already today!

If you go to New Posts you will find them there.

When you back to school?

Most of the junior schools are back this week here. But they do get off before you.

Hello you lovely Lady!

400 posts!!!! That's brilliant...certainly enough to keep you away from the fridge eh? Thanks for the tip about the new posts page, I will certainly check that out in the future! A very handy gadget to have on here if it's been so busy!!!

I agree whole heartedly with you about learning along the way! I am in no doubts that I am STILL learning about myself and I reckon I will still be learning in years to come! Obesity is not something that can be fixed as quickly as some people think!

I am officially back at school on the 4th, but the children aren't back until the 6th. We have training days on the 4th & 5th. I am going in to school every day this week to get myself sorted and to do paperwork & get desks / pencils etc ready for my new class.

My brain needs restarting after such a long break! I used to find that in the first weeks back, I would get a cold, flu or just generally feel worn down. I am hoping that this year, I will have so much more energy and vitality that I will not feel poorly in those first few weeks back!

Hope you are well sweetie & thanks for your advice!

Hi Clare,

Big change in you compared to this time last year!!!

You must feel like a new woman?

Pierce starts back on the 4th of September as well!!

How is your new car? I do hope it is going well for you, nice to have the figure to go with it...

Time does fly by and yes there is no magic fixes...losing the weight is only part, learning new ways of dealing with stress and making healthier choices...

I often think the way we look after our cars and would never think of putting cheap oil or dirty petrol into them, yet we do something similar to ourselves all the time...and worse...the reality, is there is only one of us and many replaceable cars.

Are you going to post some photos on our Gallery as inspiration for the rest of us? The Gallery is for members only, so you know who would be looking at them as non members can't view them...sure have a think about it.

Hey Mini!

You're right on so many things! I AM a completely different person that I was 12 months ago! I look at life differently too! I must agree with what you said about how we look after our cars too....only the best for my cars...serviced every 6 months etc, etc. I would never do the same for myself. Now I go and get a facial or whatever so I am getting a 'service' too! LOL! I love the new car, I have just been to town with the roof down and got a few whistles! LOL! I just blush every time, but the attention is nice!

Wish Pierce lots of Luck from me! Does he have far to go?

I will figure out how to put on my photos...might be bothering you for some help if I can't figure it out!

Lots of love & enjoy your day! I hope the weather is good for you sweetie, its sunny & warm here today!

Hi Clare,

Just catching up on your posts sounds like you are learning from the slips.
Well done you I really wanna be where you are right now lol. How long did it take you?

[MandyB2]

Hi Clare.. glad the work front is getting sorted You'll soon get back into the swing next week
My day's been ok, I'm still feeling a bit under the weather and TOTM has just hit but foodwise I'm not doing so bad. I'm weaning myself back on to SS and so far no major hiccups!!!!!! Hopefully the scales will be moving down again very soon!!!!!!!

Take care and have a chilled out evening
