Last Half a Stone Challenge! any takers?!

[JodieJoJo]

i dont know what is wrong with me? arrgghhhhh, i've done it again! I ate a large punnet of strawberries when i was already over because of my large banana! i just can't do it!!!

Going to bed now as i'm exhausted and at least if i can get to sleep it will stop me bloody eating!:cry:

At least with work tomorrow i wont be tempted during the day so here's to a positive and strict day tomorrow!

 

[saffron]

Jo think you have a hell of a fruit addiction going on babes, lol, but its not crap food so there must be a bonus somewhere there!!

Keep your chin up babes dont get down please.
Get a good nights sleep hun and heres to haveing a great day tomorrow! xx

 

[JodieJoJo]

Just popping in before i go off to work.

I've got to find a way to control myself in the evenings with the fruit. Evenings have always been my danger zone but i thought i had cured it, especially after SS'ing. Guess i need to look at the problem again!

I wish I could do something in the diet that would give me a sudden boost and just get the scales moving again. I suppose committing myself to some proper exercise would do that so i shall try and make another plan tonight!

Right, off i go, another day of boredom at the office awaits me

Enjoy your day Tara

JJJ you and your fruit does make me laugh!! Can you not cut your daytime portions right down so that you have plenty of spare calories for the evenings?? Then if you are having a big nibble fest at least you are doing so within your allowance?

Don't beat yourself up too much over the exercise either - your body might not appreciate being flung into loads of exercise if it's not used to it! Perhaps start with committing to do a little more on say 2 days a week and over a gradual period increase it slowly. Ease yourself in gently is what I think I'm trying to say .

As for the scales not budging ... don't get disheartened hun. I know it's really hard when you are being good, not fair is it?! Get your tape measure out - you are bound to have lost inches. The scales will move eventually I'm sure! Put them away somewhere so you are not tempted to scale hop.

Chin up little chicks .... you will get there!!!

 

[saffron]

hiya hun,
I am with you hun, i too need a boost diet/excercise wise to!!
Think thats a good idea from dobbie for you to try and cut daytime portions right down so as you can then use it in the evenings hun.
Really dont know whats got into me today, i am feeling really down,low fed up and genrally peedoff!! all in all totalling to me being in a bad mood, just want to go curl up under the duvet n hide away but i wont!!,The scales

 

[Dobbie]

Aww Tara hun. Please don't be down. You have soooo much going for you and loads to look forward to. You are 9stone 1lb (i wish) and getting married real soon! That's enough to make anyone smile!! Chin up chick, it's just a bad day.

If you're feeling all crappy why not put on your coat and take yourself out for a bit of a walk. The fresh air will help lift your mood and the exercise can't hurt either. Hopefully you will come back feeling refreshed and back to your normal happy self.

xx

 

[saffron]

oops dunno what happend there mid typing and some how managed to post that!!

anyhow the scales are shouting very loudly at me and am totally not giving in to them!! been there done that yesterday!!!

 

[saffron]

Hi Dobbie, aaa thanks huni, just had a good natter with maggie and am pleased to say am feeling a lot better now xx

 

[JodieJoJo]

just popping in on my lunch hour

Tara hun, you sound like i feel today - do you think the cold is getting to us? its horrible when you get a wave of negativity isnt it? come on, lets snap ourselves out of this and kick ass to these last stubborn pounds! lol

Dobbie - thanks for the advice but do you know that i already try to leave as much as i can for the evening! lol I dont have a shake until around 1ish and sometimes i leave it till the evening! i tend to have an apple around lunch time and perhaps another portion of fruit in the afternoon if i am desperate so i am usually left with a fair amount in the evening. I think however much i have left in the evening i am still going to binge:cry:

I think the key for me is distraction. I spend too much time watching tv and doing bugger all in the evenings. Ofcourse, i have a 2 year old to run after but i'm definitely not moving enough and keeping busy. Got a few ideas up my sleeve so will post a definite plan tonight

 

[saffron]

Hiya Jo,
good to see you poping in in your lunch hour,
your right the wave of negativity is a horrid feeling, and yes lets snap out and kick ass big time,lol

Hope your haveing a goodish day at work babes
Cant wait to hear your plans huni xx

 

[JodieJoJo]

Hi Tara

Yes i'm going to make a big list of possible distractions for tonight (well, that will be one distraction just writing the list lol)!

Hope you are feeling a bit better now sweetie.

Right, i gotta sign off and get more people divorced now, what a happy job i have!

xx

 

[saffron]

JO,
yes that a good distraction in its self,lol

Am feeling better now thanks hun, had a good old natter with maggie bless her

Oh the joys of your job hun so go get devorcing some more ppl xxx

 

[JodieJoJo]

Hi hun

Well i think today has been successful so far i only had 56 cals worth of raspberries at work and 2 litres of water so left as much as i could for tonight

Just had salmon, couscous, broccoli and red cabbage - yum. That means i still have 150 cals worth of fruit, a shake and a bar left! that should last me - lol

Haven't had a chance to put my mind to my master plan yet but will keep you posted

 

[saffron]

fantastic hun you have done great today well done.

your dinner sounds yummy, i am haveing a spinach & ricotta cannelloni, it less than 3% fat and 242 cals will have some salad with it and still have a bar later oh and i can have some fruit too.

Cant wait to hear this master plan hun xxx

 

[JodieJoJo]

oooooo yum i love cannelloni. Still haven't started master plan

[saffron]

xx

 

[saffron]

ok no encouragment, get off your butt now and get moving about like a looney tune!!! lol

 

[JodieJoJo]

morning hunnibun!

CDC away on holiday this week so i've weighed on my scales and i'm 9st 7lb which is really good coz it shows 1 1/2 lb loss but on the other hand i've been hovering between 9st 7 and 9st 8 for 2 1/2 weeks on my scales so it really isnt that much different! (does that make sense?! lol) Once I get to 9st 6 i'll have broken the barrier and I'll be really happy!!!! Listen to me moaning!

Ticker is looking good now but i might change my target to 9st now as that is really where i would like to be. Not sure its feasible though so will leave it for a few weeks. Dont want to set myself an unachievable target.

Guess what? I actually kept within my fruit limit yesterday!!! woohoo!! I was so pleased with myself! I think Dobbie's advice of leaving as much for the evening was a good idea as although i had been doing this i hadnt been leaving enough! Last night i had plenty left to munch through and i was fine.

Still working on the master plan - the ideas dont seem to be flowing!

Well, got to get on. What you up to today? anything exciting?

[saffron]

Hiya babe,

WOOOHOOOO well done Jo on not going over on your fruit yippeeee am well pleased you made it!!!.

Yes babe it does make sence the whole scales thing, i could really feel a scales addiction about to set in with me so h2b has hidden them away from me eeeekkkkkk, so after tuesdays scale reading i really dont know whats gone on or off since!!!! and will only find out tomorrow at official weigh-in oh god roll on 1.15pm friday pleasssseeeee, lol. My original target was 9st but a couple of weeks ago i changed it to 8st 10lb,i dont know now if i should have canged it!! spose it all depends on tomorrows weigh-in results,then see how i go i spose.

Was going to take all the kiddies swimming today but thaty has gone out the window now so have no plans now, what have you lined up for the day huni?
