I hope your week goes quickly and that parents evening goes smoothly so you can get home for the weekend again. Well done on tracking again today, and for booking in for a spin class tomorrow. Jo x

I hope so too, will be a long day tomorrow, prob won't finish until close to 10pm, but the prospect of a long weekend is keeping me going x

I do know what you mean but surely it can be off-putting as well if you seen things like you did recently?

We've all done it though

You are soooo right. I've learned that lesson this week! You see up until last week I've either lost or STS so hoping on the scales has ALWAYS been reassuring for me....that is until this week. I really think that's why I struggled so much to get back on it this week. It didn't even dawn on me that that could be the reason but I think I've just discovered that the bad habit I have could be detrimental to my weight loss!! So as of now, I'm only weighing in once a week, I promise!!!!

Another good day on track again today! Had booked in for spin after work and was five minutes late :sigh: so couldn't get in...was gutted! Bloomin tractor I was stuck behind on the way there!! So instead of spin I nipped on the treadmill...walked up a hill for 45 minutes, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be! To finish off I sprinted for the last 2 minutes so really feel like I had a good work out!

OH and I have decided we are going to try and walk as much of the Fife Coastal Path as we can over the next few months and over summer. We are going to start on Friday. We are starting by walking the Forth Road bridge into Queensferry, then onto Inverkeithing and then finishing at Dalgety Bay. We'll get the train back to the station where we started. I'm really looking forward to it and it'll be a new wee challenge for me to set myself! I'm really glad that OH is quite into it too, he also wants to trim up for our holibags!!

Today's food:
(B) 2 ww toast 1
ham and flora extra lite 1
(L) pita bread 2.5

Just wanted to wish you a good easter weekend. I hope work hasn't been to crazy the last few days. Its Friday tomorrow so enjoy the break. Jo x

Hi jo thanks! Last week was a little crazy hence my absence but back now! I've been enjoying the break a little too much if truth be told..far too many points!!

We had a lovely day on Friday and walked the first 10 miles of the fife Coastal path, it was really foggy but still a great day exploring! One of my highlights was walking over the forth road bridge although I would imagine the views would have been spectacular if it wasn't foggy! Was such a lovely day! Will try to put some pics on.

We had a family BBQ yest which turned out to be an indoor one as it was raining eating wasn't good and in therapy style I feel the need to fess up what I ate so here goes...

A venison burger in a roll with cheese
A lamb and mint skewer
A little chicken and pepper skewer
A generous portion of tuna past
2more slices of cheese!!!!
..... and a home made cup cake

Oh dear not so good eh? That was all I ate all day though so could have been worse but still not great, so back on it today! 100% day ahead!!

Oh had a STS on friday, it's 10 weeks today I go on hol so this is it...crunch time!!

Happy Easter all x
