And now the good bit......Maintaining!

[kim63]

i wouldn't worry Kim...know you are not anyway...but hubby home was bound to mean extra or more days of indulgence. if you can't enjoy some drinks and nice food when hubby is home, when can you? you will be on track before you know it. is it 1 or 3 months he is home?

He's home on leave for a month, so I've been halfy halfy on plan! day 3 of being good today!

Aww thank you Off to do my shopping now for the weekend. Sound funny but Thursday is our "Friday" hehe

Not had too much socially, think it's boredom if I'm in at night and with H being away, need to plan more stuff through the week!

Im the same Danni, so I always save most of my syns for the evening & sometimes a Hex. I also have a BIG evening meal followed by a bowl of fruit like melon, pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, so Im quite often too full for my choocie!
Its a nightmare at the moment tho as D is always eating, especially in the evening muttering he wants choccie or wine gums lol! Is your Mr H the same? x

This looks yum, my hubby loves satay so I must try it.

Debbie its gorgeous & one of my favourite dinners. I tend to double the recipe, so I freeze whats left. Its quite a mild 'satay' taste, but you could always add more peanut butter lol!

Think I will start doing that then to try and stop going over.

Haha he loves wine gums as well but is unofficially following SW when he's home

Haha, my Mr H is the same when he's home & unofficially follow it at home coz he eats what I do, but then has cheese & biccies/Winegums afterwards lol!

 

[kim63]

Thought I was going to get away with an on plan weekend, but nope, off to my brothers which will involve food & booze lol! So, will have had 6 days limiting the damage of last weekend & will spend next week doing the same from this weekend.....but isn't that what maintaining is all about.....Life!
So will have my monthly weigh on the 1st rather than the 3rd this month eeeek! I will have put on, but knew this month would be hard with the boy being home, as we're having impromptu naughty nights! Nothing on from the middle of June, so I can be angelic from then!

Say hi to Mr H and hope you're enjoying having him home xx

Its great having him home, but more painful when he goes back!

I tend to have a sandwich most lunchtimes & its normally egg coz then I can have any plan. Do you get the wholemeal out there? x

Aww I know it's rubbish being a weekend wife :-(

Yeah you get wholemeal normally one little loaf hidden amongst all the other ones lol x

As long as its wholemeal thats OK. I always weigh the bread & syn if its over the 60g, so at least you get a decent sandwich! x
