Good afternoon all, isn’t it a lovely day out there !!!

kendrafallon – yes, I know wheat you mean with spin – at the start of a session I get that “ what am I doing here feeling “ but then look at the HRM at the end and see I have burn’t 800 Kcal and think, more food !!!!

kateg789 – hi to you too – you have arrived at a great place to get in control of your weight – I have only been back to logging food and exercise for four days, and already I feel back in control after being out of control for well over 12 months now – stick with it, and you will be proud of yourself !!!

sdscouser – totally agree – isn’t it nice to be amongst some great people with the same goal in mind – it does help greatly.

Plantpot – we have all skipped a weigh in before now for the same reasons, but having read your post, I am now in spag bol and meat balls mode for tonight, having bought some from Lidl last night as they were on special offer !!! – luckily my weigh in is not until Tuesday ha ha !!

magnet501 – thanks James, as a newbie to this site this week, it has been the breath of fresh air I needed to get my self back into weight loss mode

Well, I hope you all have great weekends, and it looks to be one of those weekends where we can spend sometime out doors – I think my garden will be calling me to rescue it from overgrowth of weeds and long grass !!! , surely that might earn me a little drink in the evening !!!

Regards

Paul

Hi everyone :flowerforyou:
Hope you are all ok.
The sun was so nice today I decided to go out at lunch time & walk round the airfield and take in some Vit D. :happy: Almost feels like summer is on its way.

Not looking forward to a weigh in tomorrow after last weekends copious amounts of French wine & cheese. But hey ho

Tanya - I have also responded to your bloat post

Erika & Paul - It would be great to get in the garden this weekend, my veggie patch needs sorting badly. Some heavy digging required and teenage kids who seem reluctant to help. can't understand why :laugh:

Mimi - hope you are ok, you've been very quiet this week ?

Have a good weekend all

LOL - yes, know what you mean - I think the Wi Fit is more appealing to them, but I keep telling them that gardening is healthier - but they won't listen !!

Paul

Hi

Thank you for all your words of support - its good to know I'm not the only one with weaknesses whilst trying to loose at the same time! I got eggs (choccie) and I'm allowing myself a bit everyday but with (as Paul put it very wel!l - I'll remember that one) control.

Plant pot Meatballs & Spagetti sounds yummy - I have just found a really good low fat recipe for Lasagne, which I cooked with the kids this afternoon - might help cure your meatball craving.

Sparklepants - thanks for your tip about running blog will have a look at that later.

Now going to to find a decent piccie to put on

Kate

Hi Karen

Its a pleasure - it takes a while and I used 2 cans tomatoes and used the long thin blade on a cheese grater to make the courgettes into thin strips - watch you fingers mind! Heres the link

The kids are excited about eating it. Let me know how you get on and we can swap notes.

Good Luck

Kate

Oooooooh Kate that does sound good, might give that a try over the weekend and let you know how I get on!!! Think pasta and cheese are my biggest downfalls!!

Have great evenings all.... two days off.... Bliss

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Evening all :bigsmile:

Hope you're all well :happy: and hope it's been a gorgeous day for you, wherever you are in the country. It's been positively tropical in Leicester!!

Katherine - Tae Kwon Do is a lot of fun!! It's a fab workout, and it's not boringly repetitive like Aerobics etc as you learn something new each class. Add to that you're working towards your belts (which you don't have to, but it helps to have a goal to aim for). I'm taking my yellow belt grading a week today :noway: :noway: :noway:

Kateg - Hiya :happy:

Plantpot - lol :laugh:

Mel - Welcome along :happy:

That's me done for now, going to help Mum with dinner and try and stop her using more oil than necessary and try and restrain myself from taste-testing the new recipie she's trying :ohwell:

Take care, enjoy the rest of the w/end and b'bye for now

Hey everyone, hope you're all ok and managed to enjoy the sunshine yesterday. I managed to get some gardening done. Did quite well on food until tea time....GBK (and not till 10.30 pm so I was HUNGRY)...grr. It's so hard to eat well when out gigging. Need to try and do better on the weekends as they are my big downfall :blushing:

Off to the gym in a mo to try and do better today!! Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend xxx

Good Morning Everyone!

I've missed reading all your posts on here! I managed to log on while I was away but didn't really get to log everything properly or post anything...hope you all had a fab weekend and the sun was shining! :flowerforyou:

:frown: So as usual at my mum's I found it incredibly difficult not to eat everything in site, I won't lie I did eat whole box of ferrero rocher which my sister gave me for Easter :sick: and various other things I won't even go in to !

I'm ready to get back on it today that because I feel very sluggish and BLEURGH this morning! I managed to take my dog out for a few walks but nothing too high impact unfortunately and I'm supposed to be training for a marthon...hmm :ohwell:

I'm taking my jogging stuff next time!

I've had my porridge this morning and am going to be very good from now on, almost mid April already...2.5 months until my hol. Gotta get on with it now or I'll have a last year situation where I went on holiday looking like a pork pie!

OMG I've never won anything EVER and I entered a competition to dance with Beto Perez the guy who invented ZUMBA and I WON! It's at my gym in Leeds tomorrow there'll be 20 journalists there and considering I am pretty rubbish at it I think they might be a bit bummed they chose me hahahahaha I am sooo exicted! :drinker:

Mimi

Ps Good luck this week everyone
