would really like to lose 2lb this week so fingers crossed. Im normally trying to lose 1lb but Im also trying to make the most of not being too poorly so being as active as I can be. Only problem is I need to control it so that it doesnt make me poorly... it really sucks, I feel ok, do a bit more, then it knocks me on my arse...i cant bloody win...but hey-ho gotta keep goin!

Jayden is 2 and Daniel is 5 months...they certainly keep me on my toes lol. much better than all the meds I have to take thats for sure! Apparently we are in for a 2 week heatwave from saturday/sunday so fingers crossed we will have some sun on the coast We went to Haven in St Osyths last year but it was a bit too quiet there so thought hopton would be beeter this time. I knwo my way around too so know all the good places to go etc

Thanks very much I love discover, ask my friends, they will tell you...im constantly going on about it lol...think im getting a bit ocd about it but there ya go, I need to or I would fall right off the wagon into a pile of choccy! The food diary is a great help for me ,and I try to post mine daily, although the last few days has been hard as Ive just not been around much. Will get back to daily posting when I get home from my jollies. Been to asda to get a few cheapy tops (not buying lots as Im hoping they will be too big in a few weeks!) but it was lovely to not have to go to evans and pay through the nose for stuff! I feel pretty good right now...so it can only get better!
minimins is an amazing site, you will find SO much help on here...and heaps of inspiration. Ill look for your diary when I get home best of luck...

 

[Nicola87]

Have a lovely time Dinx im sure you will have lots of fun with the boys!!! hope the weather stays nice for you - dont worry too much about the eating side of things, i lost 5lb the week after my hols so enjoy!! xxx

 

[Angelxx2010]

I'm so glad you are enjoying discover so much and it's going well Thank you and good luck to you to with your journey! Have a lovely holiday and enjoy yourself xx

 

[Dinx]

well Im home...had a totally fab few days but completely blew it points wise...too much wine and food and just finished the week with a chinese!!! I reckon I will have put on a stone when I weigh in on Monday but from tomorrow morning Im back on track 100%....ive lost it before...ill do it again. and besides, this week was sooooooooooo worth it!!

 

[Dinx]

right...I had a lush night's sleep, was so good being back in my own bed! But I feel bloated and yukky from that chinese last night. Had a sp this morning and it said a 2lb gain, which shocked the hell outta me as I really have been a piggy this week lol. Anyway, back on it from today, we need to do a big shop so made a list of all the good things we need and gonna stick to that, so if theres no cr*p food in the house...i cant eat it honestly though, I could be given a big bar of choccy right now and I wouldnt want it so maybe I needed the blow out to get me back on track and focussed

Our few days away was just so lovely, I got proper burnt on wednesday, just on my face but still bad enough to make look like a balesha beacon!! spending quality family time was just what we all needed. Havent laughed so much in ages!!

Saw my mother in a shop, she saw me and she couldnt run away quick enough lol...kinda put a downer on things for a bit but a few glasses of vino soon sorted that one out lol. I even went swimming!! not a big deal maybe, but for me it was as a girl that we went with is like a stick insect, with the perfect body, and i felt SOOOO self conscious around her but it was fine in the end. I dont expect to ever look like that but Im working on it

so...today....not sure whats on the menu til we get back from shopping, which prolly wont be til tonight cos dil takes forever to go round the shops lol. but for now its:

good ole oss - 2.5


lunch

wrap 2.5

thanks very muchly cant quite believe i managed to sts so maybe i didnt go as mad as I thought...plus had saturday and sunday back on track so i think that helped. I think everyone needs a bit of a blow out now and again to get that motivation back...although I dont plan on blowing out anything else til im blowing out the candles on my birthday cake, and thats not til september so fingers crossed!!

 

[Dinx]

ok lunch today was a carvery in sunny clacton...

Ive pointed it at 12 and I think ive over pointed it but I dont mind... I had

meat, yorkie, carrots, roast onion, broccoli, swede, peas, lil bit of stuffing, lil bit of mash, couple of the smallest roasties i could find and gravy. it was lush!!!


tea tonight was made by my dil,

chicken and bacon philly bake, which she worked out to be 9 points including peas and corn.

puts me at 23.5/26 for the day and im stuffed.com!!!

gotta run my son back to his digs in a bit only good thing about that is i wont be at home watching trash telly and wanting to munch for an hour and a half!

 

[Nicola87]

Heeyyyyy Dinx, missed ya on the boards. Sounds like you had a great holiday, dont worry too much about being a little relaxed with your eating, you was on holiday!! Hope you had a lovely day out today xx
