The, if not shrinking, staying the same size Midwife...

Red!! You gotta stop weighing yourself so much - it's not good for your mindset and besides, it just isn't accurate. 2lb up or down could be ANYTHING! You know that fat doesn't disappear overnight so just give it time! xxx
 
My double and triple checking was all at the same time btw!!
Not multiple points over the day.
I'm tracking daily to see if there's a trend or if I'm just hovering if you see what I mean, I have a graph and everything :p

I'm feeling quite good about it at the moment to be honest rather than fretting over ever wobble for once.
I also only count mondays reading anyway, not matter what it may say during the week, if it's not down on a monday I've not lost.
I've been pretty damn good with my food and done so much more exercise recently than like EVER!
I really want the Biggest Loser game for the Kinect but I'm not allowed it :(
Well I am, but I have to order it online because it's cheaper lol and I don't want to wait :p
Taking this evening off today, it's pancake day :)
I had potato wedges, chilli and cheese for lunch, then a light salad for tea and I intend to eat about a million pancakes with various toppings.
None of which will be healthy :p
I've also decided to give up white pasta for lent seen as though I started eating it again.
Will eat more wholemeal instead.
I started eating those packet pastas again which are like 400 calories a go at least! So it's mainly to stop me eating those!
My friend was going to give up chocolate and suggested I do it with her, but I really don't eat that much chocolate anymore. In fact I had a mars bar last night, and before that I can't remember the last time I ate chocolate.
I've had chocolate flavoured stuff, milkshake etc but not an actual bar. It was really odd.

Went to the jobcentre today and all of a sudden a really loud alarm went off, one which, working there for a few years, I recognised.
The bomb alarm....
And sure enough, we were all herded into the centre of the room.
Martin had been on his way out so he left the building all confused and I started to feel a little panicky.
It WASN'T a drill.....
So after standing there for a little while in this little huddle (no one else knew it was the bomb alarm apart from the staff) I texted him to tell him to get away from the building when the voiceover ordered an evacuation. I got out of there as fast as I could without alarming anyone and practically dragged him up the street!
I felt so strange afterwards.
It's the third bomb scare in a job centre related building in about a week..
Sounds a little dodgy to me!!
 
Ahh, scary :/ That does not sound fun!! I wonder what made them sound the alarm. Have fun eating pancakes--I've not had anyyy, haven't been in the mood for them today. Ordered pizza though ;) xx
 
I had one less pancake than I was going to so that's not too bad :p
I also haven't eaten anymore meals today, so not too bad.
The golden syrup and chocolate buttons might have tipped me over a bit though :p

BLeurgh so full!!!!
But definitely worth it, I literally have pancakes once a year so, once these pancakes have run out tomorrow that'll be it for a loooong time!
 
I'm giving up the scale for Lent...
Am I fooking nuts?!?!?!?!
lol
This could be tough but it's already out of the bathroom so here goes!
I weighed in tonight to get my starting weight, feels like I'm cheating a bit because it's obviously higher than on a morning but we're not allowed to weigh in tomorrow so if they're not gunna let me weigh tomorrow I'm gunna have a cheeky extra 2lbs :p
I know where the scale is and I'm hoping I can resist. If not I'll take it into Uni and lock it in a locker or something.. Actually I won't because uni will be shut by the time I'm allowed to use it again... Might take it to my mum's then it's completely out of the way.
OMG just realised I have another set in the bathroom lol, my older mechanical ones that change by 7lbs each time you step on them lol, better bin those me thinks.
 
Day 1 without a scale...
My bathroom floor looks odd lol
Not bothered to be honest.
Hoping that it'll be this easy all the time!!
Although someone did point out that Easter is late so it's 47 days not 40...
I can't go nearly 7 weeks without lol so a lot of us are just doing 40 days and stopping on Palm Sunday instead.

FOOOOOOOD
Potato wedges with chilli and cheese again.
Soooo lovely :)
Log it as 750ish calories, which is a double portion of Tesco wedges and chilli so I think it's probably close.
Tea will be chicken and stuff so low calorie, mainly veg I think.
Will do some dancing later maybe if I don't think about the bloody spider that is hiding under my sofa somewhere :(
 
That's SO SCARY about the bomb threat! YIKES!

I too am addicted to weighing myself several times a day - though lately I have been able to go days and days without stepping on just because I knew for sure I'd see a bad number.

But I don't do lent, so how about I weigh in once for me and once for you each day? :biggrinjester:
 
Haha Tig love it!
I don't normally do lent, but I thought I'd give it a go this year as they're calling it a scale diet for the non relidioud people :p
The bomb scare was pretty bad but I've calmed down a bit about it now, but at the time I was really jittery and all over the place. Too much adrenaline I think!!

Had chicken garlic and white wine pasta for tea. A healthy choice one not full fat.
Then had a very small bit of chocolate cake I made the other day.
Still under calories for today.
Above 1200 but around 13500 so that's good enough for me. With my exercise too I only went over by abotu 30 calories :)
 
It's just one of those packet ones but it's sooo nice and about 100 calories less than the cheesy one I used to have.. Even more really because I don't put cheese on this one and I did the other one!!
 
Sorry for being AWOL for the last few days..
To breifly summarise.

Still no scale :)
I had a takeaway :(
I ate a burger and 2 slices or pizza and 4 onion rings :(
But no chips :)
Been really good today :)
I had ice cream but it's in my calories because I slept all day so only had time for one meal :p
Still no sign of the spider!!
I danced today and burned 86 calories while cooking tea. Multitasking FTW
I walked EVERYWHERE yesterday!!
Walked really fast to my bus stop the other side of town.
Walked home from an either further away bus stop.
Walked to the cinema and back!
Loads :D
I didn't go out so I didn't drink any alcohol!
Sleeping is shite at the moment. Martin isn't sleeping so I don't get to sleep either. Therefore we had a slight srgument last night and I finally got to sleep around 5am. Woke at 2 but had a nap until about 4 shortly after.
Doubt he'll sleep tonight and I've already got a headache coming on. Balls.

ANYWAY.
I'm going to dance all the way through Dance Central tomorrow. There is roughly 1hr 15minutes of dances on there, plus some challenges which I haven't done yet. Maybe about 90 minutes of dancing? Should be a good workout. I'll do them on medium not easy too :p
Soooooo hungry today. Feel like I've done nothing but eat.
I had leftover fudge cake for breakfast (allocated in yesterdays calories), a couple of strawberry laces (literally 2 or 3), a packet of baked crisps, chicken with rice and peppers, ice cream, sugar free jelly, a packet of quavers.... And I want to eat!!

I've had loads to drink today too so I'm not thirsty.

Ah well. I'll just have a glass of milk or something.

I WILL resist the leftover pizza in the fridge.... Maybe......
 
Still no scale :)

Didn't get chance to dance today but I walked to the supermarket the long way round (by accident lol) and have eaten like a SAINT!
Sort of..
Lemme go calculate.....
Under 1200.. Pleased that I've made good choices. Could do with a couple of hundred more as I've walked today too. But gives me room to snack before bed :)
I'm stuffed as well. Feel like I've eaten like a pig lol
That's because I bulked it up with lots of lettuce tomatoes and peppers for once!! We had fajitas :)
 
I <3 Fajitas!! For the diet I'm on I'm not supposed to have tortillas, breads, etc. (although I still do :p) so I made them once and wrapped them in lettuce, it was really so good! How does it feel to go without the scale?
 
reading backwards here lol

Still no sign of the spider!!

That's good...but still it makes you wonder where it could be right? I hope you find it dead outside or something. I think the most absolutely HORRIFIC story I have ever heard about spiders was from this Italian woman I used to work with:svengo: tarantulas in Italy:svengo: I'll just stop there!lol

90 minutes of dancing is one hell of a workout! Great job!
 
Never got round to the 90 minutes *bad piggy!*
Done so much walking though!
And my food (apart from today) has been pretty good. Today has been really good food wise, just been so hungry so I think I'm over my calorie goal and I haven't even had dinner yet! Plus I might be staying up all night!
EEEEK!!
 
I feel good without the scale but I kind of feel like I'm not dieting anymore. I know I know diet is a bad word to use but I just feel like I'm bobbing along not really doing anything about my weight because I'm not checking it!
