1 day at a time challenge!!

Hi Ladies
I havent been on for ages. Thanks for your messages. I have had such a busy week or so. It was my 40th on Wednesday, didnt hurt but have banned the family from using the f word (forty)!!
Had a hawaiian beach party theme yesterday from 2pm. It didnt rain and the sun even came out for the afternoon! We had an absolutely fantastic time. There must have been about 70 people through my house by the end of the evening. I had to give in at half one in the morning but i could still hear the singing (far far too loud) at 4am! Gonna have to keep my head down when i see the neighbours.
We spent two days decorating the living room and sun room with tiki hut bamboo borders. The tables had grass skirts and lantarns. We had pretend windows that look out onto beautiful tropical oceans. We borrowed gazebos and a party tent which OH and my dad put up with tons of fairy lights. Made a cocktail bar. I'm sure you are getting the picture.
We have had a few parties over the years but this was amazing. There must be a lot of sore heads in the village today, we have taken so many empties to the recycling. My daughters and brothers 3 daughters were only kids there but they were making up the cocktails and going round with big jugs to let everyone taste their concoctions. Had a few turn up to help tidy this morning so house almost back to normal but we are totally exhausted and the rest can wait til tomorrow.
Anyway, enough about me. Hope you are both well. Sounds like you are quite focussed at the moment. I've done such a lot of socialising over the hols and luck rather than good choices that has kept my weight the same so its back to it tomorrow with a vengeance as its 8 weeks til i go to Lanzarote.
Best Wishes
Maureen

Yes, restarted Monday with little enthusiasm. Back to work after the hols on tues so it was easy to stick to through the day. Unfortunately, there was a load of opened white wine still in fridge from party (6 bottles with only a glass or two out) and three bottles of red. Anyway, three of bottles were same kind so gave them to my mum and dad but last night had a couple of large glasses and some crisps (oh and cheese) whilst chatting on the phone. I knew it was ridiculous and unnecessary so emptied the bottles in the sink and binned all the crisps. Have done well today SSing but came in about half 5 and had a few slices of ham and a couple of tomatoes, just had a coffee and digestive. My LL friend has started CD today and i said to her this morning that if i cant get into it today i'm giving up to healthy eat. I really am finding it terribly difficult. There is also the added pressure of the money.
I've been in Matalan today and bought a pair of size 10 jeans for work (big made and stretchy) and a bit too tight dress for my Oct hols. Felt really motivated in the shop but i'm not so sure now.
LL friend is hoping to lose up to 2 stone in 8 weeks as we are holidaying together. I'd love to do that but whats the point as i'd never maintain it.
This is actually making me sound really miserable!! I am happy today although really tired. Keep you posted and good luck to both of you.

 

[missmf]

size 10?
thats fabby - why do you wanna go any smaller - bet you look gorgeuosas it is!!
it'll be nice your having a friend to do it with - she can come round for a nice bowl of soup!
why do you find it hard to stick to?
maybe cause you've done so well, and just want to keep it off now??
could you not do ss+??
thats what i'm doing a nd had chicken and cabbage (far toomuch, but hey??!) and i'm really enjoying it and know all day, that i'm having a dinner with the family (ven if the yummy roasties are missing!!)
good luck tomoz and keep us posted!! xx

Its the double edged sword isnt it. I want to lose the weight but know i am looking so much better than i have for years. I want to stay on the diet but i want to eat food. If i dont do the diet i'll get to hols and regret not trying etc etc. I am still in the overweight catagory so really should just shift that stone, be in the ideal catagory and my bmi would be almost spot on.

 

[missmf]

mmmm.....yeah, what about a higher plan then you are still on the diet, but still eating food too.

weight loss might be slower, but at least it will be coming off and you can eat with out "cheating" and feeling bad.

Hi Maria hows it going for you?
Maureen i hope yor restarts going well.
Im back ss today really want to do it, i know i will feel better in my self if i stick with it. xxx

 

[Percy greenfingers]

You sound like me, wine, wine and wine.....My CDC did tell me that while the body was burning alcohol it wouldn't burn fat, but I didn't seem to hear her.....Still there's always this week. I'm going to not cheat at all this week and even try and stay off the wine at the weekend, wish me luck!!!!

 

[scorpio dawny]

Good luck percy you can do it.
