Demon's Maintenance Journey

[demon]

MAINTENANCE Week Ten/Day Seven (1500)

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE..............It's finally arrived..................we're off on hols today

Well to be more precise, we don't actually

out until early tomorrow morning, but we'll be

to Gatwick after lunch to stay overnight in a hotel - thought it would be better than braving the M25 on a Monday morning

Thought I'd better have a quick pre-hol WI so popped on the scales this morning...............and...............eeek.............lost a 1b this week

Start weight Feb 13th 16st 2lb
Todays weight 8st 13lb
Lost 1lb
Total loss 7st 3lb

Amazing really with all the extra yummy food I've been eating this week............bet it wouldn't have happened if I'd been trying

Oh well, never mind, I'm sure I'll be back here in a fortnight with a bit of surplus needing to come off

It certainly won't be from want of trying

Mexico here I come

here's wishing you all a good and POSITIVE fortnight

Just popping in here quickly to let you know how the holiday is going

We're 6hrs behind you over here so we're just getting ready for dinner. Mr.D wants me to let you know that they serve champers every day whenever you want it - not to mention the constant stream of cocktails etc etc!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not rubbing it in honest!!!!!!!!!

There's 8 gournet restaurants here to choose from - it's all inclusive so just have to decide what we fancy each day - I'm going to look like the michelin man when we get home

Went to Chichen Itza yesterday and saw

..........fantastic. We were absolutely cream crackered afterwards!!!

WOW lena, FABULOUS photo...........60lbs lighter is FANTASTIC

 

[westhills]

It sounds wonderful, can't wait to hear more. I'd love to go but the long flight puts me off - how was it??

[demon]

The flight was okay Anne, took around 10hrs. We'd upgraded to premium which made it much easier - guess we don't mind the long flights now, especially after visiting Oz last year.

We've had a really lazy day on the beach today...........BLISS

Off for a boat trip tomorrow - going to Isla Contoy and a bit of snorkelling - exactly what Mr.D likes.

 

[demon]

Hi, I'm back. Had a lovely time in Mexico and ate FAR TOO MUCH

but hey that's what hols are for

Really not looking forward to getting back to work in the morning - will probably pop on the scales before I set off, but it's really bad timing as it's the day for our departmental Xmas lunch - with all the trimmings

so won't be getting back on track til Thursday.

Fully expecting to need to be extra strict for a couple of weeks to undo the damage - must get back into trim to do it all again over Xmas

have just popped on the scales and eek

I've put on 12lbs - fully expected and deserved tho!!!! The good news is that it only puts me 2lbs over my goal weight so phew that's okay then

Just munching my way through half a choc orange bar - got that full scale Xmas lunch to contend with today - will probably have a soup when I get home. Need to give my menus for the rest of the week a lot of thought and WILL get back on track properly tomorrow morning.
Wishing you all a good and POSITIVE day

Welcome Home !!

Really missed your postings. Glad you had a good time and that 12lbs will be gone in no time. At least you had plenty to go at in your buffer zone.

I started Management last Wednesday and got weighed in tonight and lost another 1.3lbs. Really enjoying the reintroduction of food and it has given me something new to focus on as I was starting to let things slip a bit.

Hope you enjoyed your xmas meal & you manage to get back focused again. I am sure you will

 

[westhills]

Welcome back Demon. Look forward to hearing all about your holiday, and also all about how easy/difficult you find getting back on track.

Felt absolutely stuffed after the Xmas lunch today...........definitely a meal too far

Actually had a tummy ache afterwards and have felt bloated since.

I've decided that with Xmas coming up so soon I'll be doing 790 for a week from tomorrow, see how the weight loss goes and monitor things after that. Thinking it would be a good plan to move up through the steps every 3/4 days after the first week to give my body time to adjust again. To be honest I really think my system needs the rest and, fingers crossed, hopefully I'll be back in trim quite quickly.

off to bed soon, nite, nite

Mid morning - other half caramel bar.
Lunch - banana tetra pak
Dinner - quorn sausages and veggies. Cappuccini shake made into mousse...........yummy

4/5lts water

wishing you all a good and POSITIVE day

 

[demon]

Feeling pretty good this evening.......getting back on track was a lot less painful than expected..........YEAH

Thought I'd be getting quite hungry around mid morning, but actually felt fine and, to be honest, it's lovely not having that horrid bloated feeling.

Just love this diet............ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS

It's been a really busy day..........once I got started that is

Went into town this afternoon and managed to buy pressies for our grandson - first ones bought so far eeek

Really am soooo disorganised this year. Ordered a few DVD's from amazon so fingers crossed they all arrive in time.

Spent the evening in an orgy of reality tv - XFactor and Strictly. Can't believe the results

didn't expect Louisa go go out of Strictly, but I'm absolutely gutted that Ben's out of XFactor 'cos I think he's FANTASTIC.

Got tickets to see Casino Royale tomorrow afternoon - not sure what to expect - Daniel Craig doesn't really strike me as Bond if you know what I mean. It's been getting excellent reviews though so looking forward to seeing it.
