Diary of a Maintainer

[Laura_carlburgess]

Lucky girlie! I can only dream of needing to eat Red Velvet cupcakes...

Omg high in syns but worth a treat every now and again. If us maintainers can't have treats then something's wrong with the world haha

My body is going to go into withdrawal syndrome tomorrow without all these treats haha as am on day 10 tomorrow I am going to do level 1 before work and then do level 2 after work...this is because I would usually go aerobics but she's off now for two weeks on holiday so this will be my exercise x

Exercise - Day 6 @ level 2 of 30DS

Weight : 8/4

I forgot to update my weight on friday so between friday last week and friday just gone (5th august) i gained 2lbs but thats what i needed, think 8/2 was a little bit too much weight loss... So had another weekend of full on Naughtiness this weekend and weighed myself this morning (i cant resist haha) and i haven't Gained...well when I say weekend I mean Friday night, and all day Saturday...I was too ill after too much wine on Sunday to stomach much of anything haha

So think my new approach is SW Monday to Friday afternoon and then Friday evening to Saturday night is my time off...let's see how that one pans out! Not sure if I would like to admit on here just how much of the bad stuff I consume haha
