6 week Summer Survival!

Morning all.

Well I already broke my pledge at the start didn't I? To be honest in all respects it's been a difficult weekend, we had a lot of happy stuff to do planned, trip to the ice cream farm, and DHs birthday, but having to negotiate round that with having to have the cat put to sleep, and finding appropriate moments to break it to the kids and deal with the accompanying fall out of the news has been at best tricky.
Foodwise has been a disaster. No intention of food porning you all up with the details, but it's been bad.

So, --
Tiny line drawn and time to pull it together before it becomes a complete trip into self-sabotage.

Just need to summon up the enthusiasm to think creatively with what's in the cupboards.

Sorry to hear about your cat :( must be hard for you all at the moment. Hope you're all okay.
 
EPIC FAIL!!! Thanks for the bday wishes!!! i started off really well, had a syn free brekkie, didnt have any ice cream when we went strawberry picking, got home, my other half had bought in loads of biccies and pringles. the end. Oh well, i knew this week was gonna be a lardy week as i went away at the weekend and my fella proposed :) so we celebrated with loadsa food and cocktails, and now its my bday. I wish i didnt feel like its a lovely celebration if i eat nice food, but its the way im programmed! BUT i dont feel like i have failed the whole plan. Im back on it tommmorow with full force as all my celebrations are done. Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Understatement! The youngest of my two charges has been a right..how shall I put this....little S*IT about covers it! I've been kicked and bitten and anything I say to him eg. "Don't hold your brothers head under the water its very dangerous!" His reply? "erm...but I want to?!" And this is the response I've had to everything today!

Just hold his head under the water for a bit, it'll soon shut him up! ;)
 
Congrats on the proposal dawnyre! Well chiquitos was shut so we went to a different restaurant today. Had mullet but it turned out it came with cream sauce! Damn should have interrogated the waiter when I ordered. I will remember next time I eat out. Had half a chocolate fondant for pudding - can anyone estimate the syns for me please? I reckon a total of around 35 syns today which is what I had planned so not that bad, at least I resisted the bread!

Congrats on the proposal and happy Birthday... think you deserved to go off plan a bit ;)


I feel like rubbish, just back from WI and its 1.5 lb on :( can't be fat though as I haven't had a bad week, so must be water retention or something, but still crappy crap crap :(

Does the heat make a difference?? I was a shocking 2 lbs up this morning, and surely it wasn't the mini sausage roll, coleslaw and choc muffin on Sunday that caused that?!!! I've been making sure that I've had loads of water to drink, 2.5-3 litres a day as its hot. Please tell me it's the heat.........I've had loads of superfree too
 
Awhhh chick, chin up! Its the heat!! Xx
 
Lovely inspiration slim

:D
 
I don't like setting goals but being realistic I would love to have lost some weight - even just 1 pound - from where I am today which is 11.11. I know that there will be plenty of yoyoing over the next 6 weeks for me so to be 11.10 or less on 5th September would be fab.
Anybody else got any goals for summer?
 
Mrstore I'm sure its the heat, a few people at my group (like me) had unexpected gains.


I'd love to get down to 8 stone 12 by some point in the holidays, but imagine from the 18th onwards I'm just going to be gaining as I have a lot on, so would be great if I got there before then
