    If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

    To me your losses seem really good so I don't think there is necessarily a need to do anything differently to what you are at all BUT in the past you have tended to find eating more of your weeklies worked better for you. With the exercise and all the steps it is worth being conscious of not...

    Hope you are feeling better. I was completely wiped out with a rotten cough and cold last week (which is unusual as I usually manage to avoid them). Did absolutely no exercise at all as even a 5 minute walk had me breathless and light headed!

    I would agree that doesn't sound excessive at all. Sure it just caused a temporary blip on the scales because its things you haven't been eating so much. You will smash Friday's weigh.

    Woooo! Excellent stuff. Big well done. Glad you are looking forward to it now. Is it an organised event you are doing? Or just doing it yourself? I quite fancy doing this at the gym myself! Although that's probably not as difficult as doing it in "real life".

    Sounds very reasonable to minimise the maternity shopping. Much better to buy stuff afterwards that you can wear and enjoy for much longer. I truly can't imagine how terrifying being confronted with all the changes a baby will bring but I you will be fine. And I hear its all worth it ;)
  117. Atomic pink

    Sounds like a good plan to try and eat fairly cleanly to get your mind in gear around your choices but don't be too hard on yourself. Sounds like you have got a lot going on over the next couple of weeks. Very nice to hear from you though :)
  118. Atomic pink

    sarah's new weightwatchers food diary, propoint and simply filling mix!

    Is it a particular food that is making you want to go off plan? Or just being fed up of counting stuff? Would it be worthwhile either planning the food into your week with your weeklies or having a couple of SF no-counting days to try and satisfy the urge?

    Glad telling the inlaws went well. Food sounds nice for yesterday. I have a pasta machine but am ashamed to say I've only used it once or twice in about 10 years. I don't think my kitchen is really big enough to use it properly as I think its a lot easier if you have a nice long bit of worktop.

    Moonwatcher's Primal/Calorie Counting Adventure!

    Really pleased to hear about your OH's blood results. Its excellent news and good that the surgery are so on board. I have a lot of sympathy this weekend with any diabetes related as we are having major problems with Spike's (one of my cats in case any one is confused!) glucose levels. Had no...

    Great loss, well done. Really please you've had such good losses since restarting as I know you struggled to get back on plan last year.

    Glad the scan went well and you enjoyed "meeting" the baby properly for the first time. Enjoy the breakfast. Sounds like a nice start to a Saturday. Look forward to your food updates in the near future.

    Cold bathrooms are no fun, what a shame it wasn't yesterday it got fixed :( Chilli and cheese sounds nice. What is the green and blacks spiced chilli chocolate like? I bought a bar the other week as I saw it reduced to 99p in the organic supermarket but haven't got round to trying it yet.

    Really pants that the cough isn't shifting and is ruining half term. Now you really needed the break. Hope the last half of it improves. Very good news on your knees and OH's glucose levels. Hopefully shows that it was a positive choice. Food is looking lovely. Quite intrigued by the coconut...

    Food looking lovely. Especially chicken pie and mash. NOM!!! A stay the same on the scales doesn't sound too bad at all given the big loss last wee. Hope the hips are more cooperative today :)

    Lovely looking veg box :) I used to get one a few years ago and really liked it but OH is a bit awkward with veg so ended up buying quite a bit of other stuff anyway so eventually stopped. How are things at work now your boss knows? When is the 12 week scan?

    Great news on the loss, well done. Is it half term next week? At least you should have some time to relax and get better.

    I don't think where you eat your food has any bearing on manners. I believe those are a more basic component of your upbringing and other influences. Me and OH both were brought up generally eating at a table but its something we rarely do now through conscious choice. We have a dining table...

    I suspect that will be the sunshine. The world actually looked bright this morning. Most unsettling. Although I still managed to go back to bed after feeding and insulin-ing the cats until 8:30am. Sunday is also my only lay in of the week. Sounds like you did very well with the take away last...

    What a shame that the meal out didn't go to plan. Sounds like really bad service, which as you say there isn't an excuse for somewhere like that (or anywhere really!). Glad you had a nice time in the end. Take away and a film doesn't sound like too bad a substitute.

    Mmmmm. Saturday sausages, sounds good :) The weather is shocking today so sensible to postpone til tomorrow. There was something on the news this morning about a restaurant on the coast somewhere in Norfolk that was flooded by a tidal surge last night while all the diners were mid-way through...

    Hope you enjoyed the Indian last night, what did you end up having? I haven't had an Indian take away for absolutely yonks as OH isn't that keen. Food sounds great, especially the pizza. Salami and pesto. Mmmmmm. How is Stan now? Completely back to normal? Do you have any idea what might...

    That photo is phenomenal! Go Purpled! How are things? Any improvement with the energy and nausea? I am awaiting the update on the size of mini-purpled this week.

    Evening Moonwatcher. Sounds like a fab start to Primal menu-wise. Not so much with the concussion - ouch! Hope you are feeling better and now more home furnishings attack you...

    I'm running a bit behind but congratulation on loss. Awesome stuff. Does that 2lb take you to target? Glad Stan is behaving normally again. I know exactly what you mean about the Neurotic Pet Owner Syndrome. I am a fully paid up member. And also think its probably a good job that I never...

    Sounds like a delicious evening. Mmmmmmm. Steak, wine and chocolate?? What's not to like. A very good use of points in my opinion :) The tasting box sounds interesting. Its nice sometimes to try things you wouldn't pick on their own. I would never choose either white or milk chocolate but do...

    We definitely do seem to be on the same diet wavelength. Especially given I have beef stew planned for today as well! Although we are having ox cheeks. One of the most "freeing" things about paleo/primal (especially on whole30) is the idea of replacing breakfast, lunch and dinner with meal1...

    Hope you are thoroughly enjoying your points this evening, very much deserved this week. What had you got planned? Excellent restraint with the 1 pint yesterday and dinner sounds gorgeous :)

    Moonwatcher's Primal/Calorie Counting Adventure!

    Thought you had been a bit quiet Moonwatcher. Sort of odd how we are have ended up doing almost exactly the same thing again! I think Primal Blueprint explains things so well and is actually a really engaging read for a lifestyle/ health book. It really resonated with me and its definitely...

    Quality time with your sofa is very important to any healthy living plan :) Looks like the food and exercise are going really well. I love an empty pool. One of the main reasons why I tend to do my swim when the gym opens on a Saturday morning.

    I can completely get on board with mashed potato cravings :) Although don't think you have to be pregnant to crave mashed potato. Food of the gods! Some very yummy meal pictures. The pizza looks lovely, as does the steak. Are the pizza stones worthwhile? Do they make that much difference? Been...

    Sounds like a very busy day off yesterday. How are the inlaws doing? How was the return to work today? Food looking yum. Have you tried the skinny lizzie sausages? They are low fat ones but absolutely lovely.

    So much confusion about potatoes!! I always used to weigh raw which made more sense to me but I guess what ever works for you. Its certainly working on the scales :)
  236. Atomic pink

    ProPoints Hannah's not sure what she's doing anymore...

    The weigh in will probably just be temporary blink by eating a bit differently over the weekend I suspect, will be back down with a few days of "weekday eating". Weekend sounds worth it anyway :)

    Really glad the service went off well. Sounds like you were able to individualise it with the choice of music etc and think that's really lovely. Sorry to hear you are struggling a bit this week but perhaps not surprising. Its frustrating about the mixed advice doctors give out isn't it? At...

    Becktoria's wedding dress weight loss mission!

    Food sounds lovely :) What went into the sesame stirfry? Seems like a good plan to follow the 7 day menu to take some of the thinking and planning out of things. I think all the decisions and calculations are the tricky bit when getting back into the groove with any eating plan so if it makes...

    Seems like a good plan to wait til next week for weigh in. Pizza the night before is never kind on the scales I find. How did your brother's service go? Sounds like a lovely day at the coast yesterday and am drooling at the thought of the falafel burger. Mmmmmm. I always get so envious...

You do really well with your pps given you don't have that many to play with to fit in things like pie and some chocolate treats...

    Sounds like a fab holiday. Are you back at work immediately or do you have a couple of days to acclimatise? I suspect the weather is a little different...
