Discovery Home & Health

thanks karen for the support, i know you are right as always...

so i have finally managed to get back on track and although i am not managing to SS 100% i am managing to SS with protein when neccessary which isn't bad actually... went to see my CDC yesterday and she suggested telling myself that i can eat everyday if i want to and then the days i don't eat will be like a bonus.. so that is what i have been telling myself ... already i feel better for being back on the diet more in control and less bloated.... i went shopping yesterday and tried on some clothes imy nephews christening is in 2 weeks and i have nothing to wear and i have a wedding to go to in july so i want to get something i can wear to both... i was managing to squeeze into 18's which made me feel better although i couldn't breathe in them.. but there you go you can't have everything .. i am hoping that when i go shopping in 2 weeks the 18's might fit me a bit better....they have asked us to be godparents so i want to look nice... saw a nice dress in monsoon which looked quite nice and it would do for both.. not much else has been happening.. i painted hannahs bedroom today (well half of it.. i will do the other half on friday)... pink of course and it looks like candy floss.. she is very happy with it and said it looks lovely.. bless her !!!! and actually i have to say i would have loved my room painted that colour pink when i was 5 too!! ..
right i had better get the dinner on.. will catch up with you all later...hope you are all having a good day.

Well done,Clare
...... for getting back on the band wagon-it's so much harder to restart! Sounds like a good idea treating the days you don't eat as a bonus rather than beating yourself up-which is exactly what I do.

Will use that bit of advice for when I restart Friday.

Hellloooooooo claire how the hell are you jumped back on the wagon I see, what a clever claire you are....I am pants...got no packs to jump back to, printed off the Ryvita challenge last week, I've read it at least 8 times and haven't lost an ounce....where am I going wrong?? Ditto the fitness DVD, every day I watch it...do I lose weight?? do I donuts something..somewhere....is going wrong....

Hey DJ,
how are you? i must saying knowing that if i want to eat i can is keeping me going ...but it is early days yet..
Jax,
I could be wrong here andi may be sticking my neck out out on this one but could it be that you have to participate inthe video rather than watch it and i think you have to follow the diet rather than read it loads of times.... .. just a thought there
seriously though you are doing well to be maintaining your weight so don't be too hard on yourself... BTW, sorry your daughter's case got nicked... but congrats to other DD for gettinh her degree...
right i must go and collect my DD from Yoga... yes she does yoga!!! actually it does chill her out a bit.. i'd tried it once but i kept wanting to blow off all the time

Dammit Claire I KNEW I was doing something wrong

Eaten way too much today so have made huge fruit salad with two types of melon, mango, fresh pineapple and strawberries so hopefully tomorrow will start getting healthy again.

lmao at yoga.....wouldnt want to be behind you on that one

JaxII

The fruit salad sounds lovely.. HMMM
i always stand at the back of any fitness class... so everyone is quite safe...it's when the teacher decides to turn us around and then i am at the front that disaster can strike
hope you are having a better day diet wise.

Hi Claire
I did cd 2 yrs ago - lost 3 and a half stone put 2 back on and now seriously considering CD again. My hubby extremely p ***ed off about me restarting. He has issues about me not eating proper food! I have tried all the other diets but this is the only one that works for me so like you i need a serious kick up the bum. I just need to get my head round SSing again Good luck

Marie

Hi Marie, i always end up going back to CD i think it is the only diet that truly works for me...when ( very positive ) i get to my goal weight i will do maintenance properly this time in a bid to keep the weight off... my hubby doesn't like me doing SS either because he says it's no fum eating on your own.. even though i try ot have my soup with him and DD....mind you DD also asks questions butusually excepts when i say i had a big lunch.. which is easy to get away with while she is at school...
good luck with your restart

Good morning,
well i can report that this week i have lost 8lbs which i am really pleased about.. and i have managed to stick to the diet quite well over the weekend ( well i was working )still taking it one day at a time and though i have had the odd slip there have been more good days than bad days so i can't complain..i am going to continue to take it one day at a time... because with each restart i do it is always the second week that i find tougher mentally, to get through.. perhaps because the loss isn't as good...
anyway, i hope you are all having a good day and enjoying the sun.

well done claire !!! I started cd on tues got weigh ed this morning and lost 6 lbs already - think i must have been a camel in a former life with the amount of water ive been drinking. Like you ive got to do maintenance properly this time i think thats why i put the weight back on. My sister in laws wedding in sept so got to get the weight off (bought a size 12 coast dress yesterday! Im skint but optimistic!) shes a size 8 and a bit of a bitch so the slimmer i am the better Now if that doesnt give me incentive nothing will.
Keep the faith babe ure doing grrreat!

Marie i am sure you will show your SIL and get into that coast dress...

Bnannaa, Jax is a very funny lady!!!
Hello all,
well i had a bit of a hectis weekend and was not dieting at all... went to SIL's on sat and ended up having fish and chips for lunch..(didn't enjoy or want them but it was easier to eat them than to explain i was back on my diet again) then went to a party in the evening where i did partake of a few glasses of wine.. although was not as bad as i could have been ... then on sunday i stood as godmother for my sisters baby boy and had a lovely day... of course ate too much but surprisingly didn't drink that much.... any way i am back on track today and doing not too badly although i wouldn't say o have managed to SS allday (there was a cheese incident..OOPS)
still i am hoping to get back to where i was on friday morning.. why do the scales change so massively in a matter of a couple of days .. lets hope they change back down as quickly!!!
Anyway, hope you are all ok and i will catch up properly tomorrow hannahs has a friend over
