Everyone's digestive system is different so you may start feeling the effects today. Lunch sounds lovely!

So I’ve not been very angelic over the last few days in terms of my syns. All of my meals have been on plan and I’m staying off the booze so it’s just the snacking that’s the problem. I’ve probably gone over by about 10 each day and we’re out for a curry tonight too. I’ll try to get back on it again tomorrow but I am missing wine SO much. Problem is my best friend and hubby are both doing dry January too so there’s not even anyone to have a glass (ok bottle) with!

In other news I’ve lost 1lb this week which is great. The OH let me weigh him today and he’s lost 5lbs since Saturday. He started it last Monday so overall it’s likely more than that. He’s being so good with it and is determined to get through the month booze free. He’s looking to lose 2 stone so hopefully at this rate it should only take a few more months if he keeps off the booze during the week and makes healthy choices when we go out for dinner.

Still at it and been gyming it 3 times a week just haven't been updating here. I have fallen off the dry january wagon though

Just read your recipe blog- there are some fantastic ones on there- will definatley be getting the hubby to try a few!
good luck with getting back down to target!
your profile photo is fab! It looks really natural, nervous but excited!

 

[vintagepockets]

Thanks Cactus194.

I haven't been on for a while but still being good although not losing. I've been getting into a good routine of going to the gym and my fitness levels are back to how I was pre-wedding therefore my muscle build has given me a bit of a gain but it's better than fat I suppose!

So two months of gyming it has brought my body fat down by 0.3%! Not quite what I was hoping!!!

 

[vintagepockets]

Oh no I was looking at last Augusts not Januarys! This is what I was in January... down 4% of fat! Yey!

 

[worldwidewren]

Hi, how are you. We spoke a few times probably a year or so ago and I tried out many of your recipes. R u still in Manchester?

 

[worldwidewren]

The OH has gone to Cardiff tonight for his sisters leaving party as she's off to Australia for 9 months to go travelling. I wasn't feeling too well and also didn't want to drink so I've stayed home. There was talk of Burger King from his brother on the journey down so it definitely won't be a SW friendly evening for him! I advised he avoid fries and get a grilled chicken burger so we'll see how he's done!

Hi again. I quite fancy this pasta dish you had for lunch, but how much pasta would you recommend? Just don't want to overeat

 

[vintagepockets]

Hi worldwidewren

I always measure it out according to the recommended portion on the packet

Latest WI. Not much difference from last time. Aiming for a body fat percentage of 25%
