I look at times like that and not worry to much gem, peanuts are natural ( yes fattening) but goodness.
A bag of chips...battered sausgae..cod...kebab...kfc chicken...dounghnuts...cheese on toast.
Thats when i would be worrying hun.
I say anything natural goes, theres much worse
Dont be to hard on your self theres a new start on the horizon
Have a lovely evening see you on the other side ;0)xx
Good morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR peeps!
Weighed in this morning and i have gained, but not as much as usual so the free Xmas Slimpod obviously helped. I have downloaded and set up the new app this morning so all ready to go! No diet just Slimpod and recording positives on the new app. Will report my progress in here.
I have had a good look at my obligations for the first half the year and after a 10 day break i am feeling much more on top of things again. Still coughing a bit but feeling a lot brighter and optimistic about the year ahead. I have five months of study left and the end coincides with the end of the RNLI project I'm working on and a whole week off holiday in Cornwall fr my birthday. My first goal is to wear size 18 jeans comfortably for this holiday.
I have shed some minor obligations to really focus on finishing these projects and then I'm going to allow myself the whole of June just to chill and decide what I want to do next. Got another application in for a promotion at work so keep fingers crossed for me.
My Dad still is not well and has reoccurring pneumonia so I need to spend some more time with him and giving my poor mum a break who is exhausted from caring for him.
An old friend of mine passed away over Xmas...it really brings sharply into focus how lucky I am and whatever I do, I want to enjoy it!
A very healthy and prosperous New Year to you all and shine bright in the sky my old friend x

Sorry to hear that .... ((((Hugs))))) LFM x
Hi peeps .. First few very hectic days back at work and soon back into the cycle of work-family- study.
I hit all my activity targets for this week though and even went to body pump yesterday when hubby cried off as he's now poorly.
Have listened to slim pods everyday and already seeing positives... Even gave away some of my weather spoons breakfast this morning as it suddenly seemed too much ... And that's the smaller one ( I used to have large! )
Probably now won't eat again until tonight now as feeling quite full.
Book on mindful eating is interesting.. Same old slow it down and chew more... But also listening to which part of my body is calling for food...mind, heart, eyes, smell, stomach or cells. We all listen too much to our minds( rules on what we should and shouldn't eat) and hearts ( emotional ) rather than our stomachs ( genuine hunger ) and cells ( what we nutritionally need). I'm trying to ask myself when I feel the call for food where it is coming from... Difficult to tell sometimes but I am assured it gets easier as you practise!
Have a great week folks ... Back to weighing in monthly x

Wow Gem answers at last! And action what agreat relief and cycling to. You will be be well on a roll again soon. I think youve done great with your knee to date but the freedom of a bike is wonderfull feeling. Did they know how you did you knee? X
Hi LFM and Jayde, I'm good thanks....had a good couple of days, yesterday felt Trevor's influence very strongly after swimming and instead of buying a sausage sandwich for brekkie at my desk I went to a local cafe and ordered porridge, banana and honey! I ate it slowly in peace and thoroughly enjoyed it!
I'm trying not to work so many hours and I've managed two fairly stress free normal hours days this week...long may it continue!
Have a great day peeps x

yeah sounds all good Gem, time out is so important for us to recentre and not get run off into other peoples needs and wants. XX
XXBeen an ok week but missing body pump this morning...yet another cold :0( I just can't shake it ....hopefully the cold weather spell will kill some of these bugs!
May have an interview next week which, to be honest, is the last thing I need feeling like this...hope it won't last too long.
Got a pretty laid back weekend ahead, but need to work on a uni assignment so will get down to that today. might walk down to tesco later for a mooch.
Have a good weekend peeps x
