How are you doing Bee. I'm not dieting - on holiday but am interested in how everyone else is doing.
Ramblings of a Bee on Exante
- Thread starter BeeBeeSee
- Start date
Haven't gotten around to trying any yet as I had a very eating weekend!! Feel better for it too as I was fed up staying the same weight, drove myself a little mad I think. Hopefully not too much damage as I kept it low carb, except for the alcohol, plus ran both days!
yes I got the 2wk pack too although gutted we didn't get any bars. They sounded yummy! X

Right, another weekend of complete and utter disaster is behind me. I seem to be stuck in a bit of a self sabotaging cycle. Had a good Exante week after slipping the weekend before. Then on Saturday I was working out in the sun all day painting and all sorts of things and there was tons of food and I ended up having it all. So as you do if you want to ruin things completely, I carried on on Sunday on my carb mission.
Back on plan now (again!!) and I have come on my totm which would explain those hideous cravings. Feeling so cramped up and painful today, but determined to stick to plan (again!!).
I think I've almost done a reverse 5:2 diet the last couple of weeks with five days of exante and then two days of carb gluttony so I hope I have not done any actual damage to my overall weight loss but at the same time I seriously doubt I would have had any more losses the way I have carried on. On the plus side, it was a very active weekend again physically, with cleaning and painting and gardening and washing cars.
So I need to pull my socks up (can you hear the scratching sound? Haven't shaved me legs in a few days) and get on with it.
The weather is so not helping, it's all close and heavy and I feel so drowsy today, if my colleagues hear a muffled banging sound from my office, that's my head hitting the keyboard.
How's everyone else doing? Good weekend? How are you all coping with the weather? xx

You need to be more kind to yourself. It was only a blip Bee and we're all wobbling a little at the mo.
Think you always have to remember that it takes 3500 extra cals to put on 1lb and I doubt you ate much more than that in 2 days so just dust yourself off and get back on the horse so to speak ;-) x

Thanks hun! The thing is that it's becoming a pattern, I get back on the horse, fall off, have a moan about it, get back on etc etc etc. I think that's why I'm mainly fed up with myself, I don't want to replace my old bad habits with new bad habits.
I feel quite inspired by all the exercise going on here, but I'm trying to find something effective yet a bit more gentle than the shred. I don't think I'd manage it. I do Pilates but that's almost too gentle
Not going to weigh in until 1 August so that gives me about ten days and I am soooo hoping to be under 14 by then.
Can't wait to have my bar for mid morning breakfast so I can take some painkillers, stupid totm is making me achey. Right now, I'm mainly feeling sorry for myself. That's the hormones though. They came up from behind yesterday, slung me over their shoulder and have taken me for a major spin on the emotional roller coaster. It's so weird how you can laugh hysterically one moment and nearly cry the next. Very confusing.

Yes I've been very hormonal lately due to changing contraception and now I have none, so that will no doubt affect me too. On top of that we have the heat and today I have toothache - ouchy! I've just taken some painkillers and they seem to have worked pretty fast on my toothache. Very pleased as my jaw was throbbing! x

Hi Bee. I'm sure you won't have done too much damage. The main thing is to get back on track following a blip rather than just giving in and you seem to be pretty good at that! We all have lapses - I'm having a planned 2 week one!

Funnily enough, I bought the slim in 6 dvd set before, not long ago. But got ripped off and they turned out to be copies and don't play on my dvd player. Very very frustrating. A lot of it is on YouTube. Must buy one of those stretchy resistant bands.
Feeling so hot and bothered today, it's such a humid weather now. And the hormones don't help. One day at a time at the moment, I'm obviously a bit wobbly right now with my diet, so I try not to think too far ahead coz I just frustrate myself. Every day stuck to plan is a success in its own right.

Ah bee am also with u on all this as have also struggled past few weeks. Am also getting quite fed up with hubby sitting and eating everything in sight in front of me.
Although I do now look at him and think I used to eat like a pig like that! And never do I want to return.
I am now known as crazy chicken lady in my house lol.
Me and hubby keep snapping at each other, partly to do with heat and partly to do with me fed up watching him eat all the crap I used to.
Whats yr weight at last wi hon? Im now 14.1 so maybe we could challenge each other to get into the 13's and spir each other on? Xx

Grrr - very annoying about the dvd's! I have heard quite a bit about stuff like that.
Well I've sorted the toothache out - went for emergency appt today and it was an abscess. Glad I went now as I'm off on my hols (only Cornwall) tomorrow!
Also had my shrinking violet wrap tonight and fell asleep Can't rememeber the last time I had a daytime nap?! Bliss.
So I'm feeling a little renewed. May even try and be good(ish) tomorrow. My fitness pal still came up with 1400 cals today!! No wonder I'm not losing anything at the moment! x

Wow Nat, that is so great! I haven't weighed in in a little while. I've set myself the next WI date of 1 August. I have been bumbling around the same weight with days on and days off plan and just in the middle of mega bad period. So it would be safe to say that I wouldn't be any lower than my last weight of 14.3.
I think I'm going to try and do weekly challenges for myself, I'm going away 18 August so about 3.5 weeks from now. But in my head I've been in such a muddled place, lost a bit of drive. If you want to join me on the odd challenge, that would be really nice. Looks like you've overtaken me now weightloss wise

Hey Lynne,
nice to hear from you 3rd August is just over a week from today. Well, I'll be here when you're ready to start again Really hoping to crack the 13 by then and then it's another fortnight until I'm going away. So I'm up for a little challenge then.
Hope you are enjoying your time away xx

We'll set a challenge up to your holiday date - I'm back for 4 weeks until I go away again. I guess our next challenge after that will be for Christmas. I'm dreading all the cold weather with the rain, snow and ice!

Yes, that would be really good, I'll give it a great push of 14 days before I'm off and you have four weeks. I'll be back ready to start again 1 September I think. I will need shorter challenges along the way, if it's too far in the future, I put things off quite easily.
And my overall habits have slipped a bit, I have been having quite a lot of coke zero and the odd milky coffee and it's a slippery slope. So I guess my next challenge will be not only to stick to plan but to "tidy up" my habits, back to 100% clean again
