Hi girls. Sorry was not able to reply to you yesterday. I am away for my girlie weekend. We go away to Drimsynie estate once a year for a few days. I'm up at the hotel for a wi-if connection. The rest of the girls are still abed nursing a head I would imagine lol. The advantage of not getting into the cocktails then sambuka chasers. Lol
Though....I did have two small baileys Irish creams of the afternoon and evening. Very weak minded of me as I had decided not to drink and did not take any wine or booze with me. They are loaded with calories but not so high in alcohol. That is me for the week end though as when I went to bed last night and completed my fitness pall I was at 1k without the baileys. EEK!!
Breakfast was the haggis neeps and tatties. Under 200
Lunch was home made broccoli and Stilton soup
In the afternoon in the hot tub session which lasted 4 hours lol....it was two bailies, I sucked on about 10 hula hoops till they were mush in my mouth and swallowed them. I had the cream cheese off the mini oatcakes and cheese
Tea was another few spoonfuls of the home made soup (I was feeling very tight and uncomfortable by this time tight at the bottom of my rib cage)
Supper. I sucked on about 10 mccoys flame grilled steak ridge cut crisps, again till they were mush and swallowed them
Bit disappointed with myself as I was not planning to deviate from my food plan :-( :-( :-(
Will do better today
The only thing when I considered it. I probably ate no more than 1400 cals......not much of a binge in real terms lol. I actually never binged anyway, just grazed
So wish my luck girls......defo need that fill as I am ravenously hungry now T times. Luckily I still fill up with a reasonably small amount of food. Though not the few spoonfuls as before
I told the girls about my band!!!!!! They have all cooked . We have enough food here for a month. There was no way I could come away and not say anything. The weekend is all about cocktails in the hot tub, exquisite luxury food and nibbles, home made pate, fine cheeses etc and gorgeous meals. Last night I ate a few spoonfuls of soup and they sat with a lovely huge luxury spicy chicken pizza from Costco, an Italian pasta dish than one of the girls from Italian extract made, gorgeous freshly made chunky coleslaw and sides. There is no way I could have done that without an explainiation. I would have needed to cancel the weekend
They were all very supportive, Katherine my bezzie, knew already as she had a band about 6 years ago. We used to work together in the Jobcentres in our early twenties. two of us have since moved on to other departments, myself included, two have remained and the twins have both had cancer and survived and have left the service. So we are really close friends and I trust them with my information. The twins in particular came and spoke to me on a one to one and told me how proud they were of my for taking this step and going through the surgery. That they loved me dearly and are glad that my struggle was over and I could finally be happy with my self. I was in my Jammie's and have lost almost two stone since they last saw me and they were amazed at how I looked and a comment one of them made, which I woke up thinking about was: you are out of black already! I had purple Jammie's on, today I am wearing a top that was miles too small for me before, one I had bought and never wore...it's multi coloured royal blue fawn white and black, I have on an old pair of jeans, size 20 (still a wee tad flappy round my skinny thighs lol) and a gorgeous bright pink waterproof jacked by koko pink. I had not even though about it, but I always wore black and joked I would keep doing so till they invented something darker!
We all aknowledge that we are blessed in our friendship. We might no all a see each other at the one time for weeks or months but when we get together it is like slipping In to a pair of old slippers. We all care deeply about each other. We are all aged between 50 and 60 and have known each other for 30 years or more. Today I feel really blessed
So that's where I'm at today. Yesterday I lost another pound. That's me 13.7. I have lost 1.5 short of two stone since 4th August and 11lb since surgery
So I must take a stroll back down to the log cabin and see if any of these sleepy heads are ready to face the day.
The great thing about not eating, is I don't have to do the dishes, or cook breakfast lol
We will use the facilities today. I need to give the gym a miss but will go swimming,
What a gorgeous setting to start the day. The sun is out and I think that there is no place more beautiful In The world than the Scottish highlands when it's not raining. We are right on the shores of the lovely loch Goil here and the cabin is at the edge of a Forrest, we have a small river with the water running down of the hills behind us. Glorious. Great for the soul. One of the twins is a yoga instructor and has brought some mats. She will have me doing just some breathing exercises while the others are having a wee session
Have a great day out there peeps xxx
