And another grey and dull day to start the week with!
Walked in this morning. Had to carry in my laptop, so slightly slower this morning - felt like it weighed a ton by the time that I got here.
Walking to the dentists this evening and then will take the dog out for a ramble - definitely have got my body magic in today!

Really looking forward to our trip away - it will be nice to take a slow drive down to Devon on Friday, although if the weather doesnt change, we wont be stopping off like we usually do. Hope that you all have a happy day! x

Flipping' beautiful morning here - definitely no coat weather! Wasn't annoyed in the slightest when my alarm went off as the sun was streaming through my curtains!

Swimming with the kids second lesson so should get a bit of a workout, but having a rest day from running.

Hope you all have a lovely day! What's for tea? X

Tomorrow is the start of a fresh new challenge for you Deb & we're here to support you. WI first thing, toileted & naked so you get a true reading & go from there. Why don't you post your daily meal plan so we can check for you that you're on track.....come on girls we can do it!
I've got 3 months to shift this last stone so really need to knuckle down & stop these weekend naughties! I do think it will get better as DH has his ride early July & will be doing his long training rides at the weekend so the drinking will be stopping as I don't want to be Billy no mates & drink on my own! In fact I would really like to be near target by then as I'll be support crew for him in a motorhome & can't see us eating SW food somehow! X

Morning Kim..I can't do a true weigh in reading cos am not home til nearer lunchtime but would be able to next Monday. Do you think I should wait til tom morn so I get true reading or will it matter?
3 months is a great time, almost 1lb per week. You can do it x

 

[lilprincessvic]

Fish in sauce with mash n veg for me tonight

Good plan Kim. Ended up with horrible toast for breakfast which wasn't wholemeal as still at caravan. Will stay on track as much as I can til I get home and organised. Looking forward to it. Feel sluggish but positive.
Lookin forward to your meal plans its good to see what everyone else does.
Have a sw mag that I got while back, going to read it now to refresh my brain.
Have good day everyone x

Soup is really easy & I just tend to use any leftover veg from the fridge, but its normally....

Onions, leeks, carrots, BNS, broccoli, celery & 2 veggie stock cubes......stir fry it all up in a big pot with some fry light to caramalise, add hot water, cook til tender & then whizz til smooth. I dont add potato as it means I can have it on all plans x

 

[icklerockchick]

Think I will make some soup today too so cheap and easy. It will use up the random veg that's about. Love how you can stick almost anything into soup :-D


Will have a cheese toasty with it I think yum!

Menu looks good Kim how are you liking green days? X

Your menu looks fab! I always avoid green days as pasta really doesn't agree with me but this is a fab menu - think I'll give some days a try. This is a stupid question but how long do u bake sweet potatoes for? X

Am enjoying them as used to be a veggie many moons ago & its nice having a rest from meat. I tend to mix my weeks up so makes a nice change sticking to one plan x

Thanks Emma, you should try some Green days as you dont have to have pasta all the time
Would think about the same time as a normal potato...stick into an oven for an hour, stick a knife into it & see if its cooked! x

Hey peeps!

I'm up bright and early at the airport (it's 4.00 am here) as off to Chicago for my last stop and then home on Thursday.... San Fran was fab - really loved it and told my oh I was going to move food hasn't been great but yesterday I was staying in a gorgeous hotel and it was connected to a huge gym. I ran 4 miles in the morning to golden gate bridge before I checked in, then hit the shops for a good few hours and then went to the gym and worked out for nearly 2 hours!! Was absolutely pooped by the end of it but was determined not to sit around eating crap and had succumbed to pancakes for breakfast so needed some serious body magic!

Lots to catch up on here - sounds like more people r going to go it alone. I'm thinking of doing the same so will be good to see how everyone does!

Kim - loved the motivational message last night. I've got six weeks til hols. Would love to get rid of half a stone xx

Sounds as tho you're having a fabulous time & sounds all very exciting....anything is better than here with the miserable weather!
I can imagine it must be very hard to resist all the lovely food, especially in a hotel where all the food is cooked for you, but well done on all the exercise! x
I manage very well on my own as didn't really enjoy classes & get all the inspiration I need on here! x

 

[icklerockchick]

Soup is simmering away do rather than sit on my bum waiting on it I shall do the shred! x

 

[lilprincessvic]

Stressful day at work today but the sun is shining and i finish in half hour!

[Going2be*fab*at40]

[Geobar]

Sun has finally come out here too! Yay
Hoping some nice weather will cheer me up.
