I know it was very nom nom nom :)

Well i am coming to the end of my pill packet and only just started to take the pill (this is the first month) so might be a bit screwed up. :-(

I was having a picking day yesterday although within syn limit but I could not resist these biscuits today and usually I got will power of steel haha.

I was doing the June challenge to lose the post holiday bulge I gained... I only needed to lose 1lb to succeed and be back to my pre holiday maintaining weight of 8/8 booooo so close yet so far away!

What's the chances of a lb weight loss by tomorrow night? Haha x
 
Possible! Fingers crossed for you.

According to my scales last night I was 3lbs up, lost 0.5today!

Exercise
Went to aerobics instructor sick so someone else took over the class and did Zumba....I hate Zumba so feel like I haven't done anything and on top of Thursday's pug out which means I am seriously unhappy about it :-(

Plan on trying a jog this evening after work...I could do it, it's just means I can't eat/drink after 1/2pm cause of getting a stitch therefore I struggle with that as I am so thirsty and hungry haha and already had to do it mon/weds/thurs already so will see how I go today
 
No it's Definitely not easy it's a constant battle. How are u feeling now? X

Just posted on the maintainers thread a little better this a.m thanks and thanks again for the support :)

Shame about the exercise class! Hope you get to do your run today it is hard fitting in the exercise too but at least then you be set up for the weekend! Thats what I'm trying to tell myself about going to netball later anyway! ;) x
 
I'm afraid of Zumba! I have no coordination!

Lauara, if you're worried about the over synning, have a go at success express which should solve the issue. :)
