Petals diary

had a maintain on the scales which I don’t understand as I was showing a drop for a couple of days . I have been very good so I hope it will show properly soon enough
I am sure it will, if you are seeing new lows a bounce back up will only be temporary. Being very good, is very good, it will payoff!
 
Agree with you All . The hard work will pay off eventually. I blame it on the menopause!!!
 
Well I am really hoping I will get the benefit on mine next week I have been super disciplined. Feel really slim this morning!! I even turned down pastries yesterday.
Will check in and out on you all through day the day . My days are pretty choc a bloc at the moment .
Back visiting some elderly relatives now which is wonderful. Happy Friday all
 
Hey Petal, thanks for the half a man thing I like it. And "choc a bloc" is another good one. I agree with LaMa, it sounds a bit like an exotic desert.

Keep turning those down and your scale will show you what you already know. You are slimming!
 
Hi all I am sorry I am a bit distracted from here . My head is busy with other stuff.
Weekend was good . Had family over Saturday which was nice and yesterday I just mentally prepped for this week ahead.
 
Ah where has the week gone. It really feels like a few minutes .

I worked very hard and I was productive so I am pleased . Lost 1lb the same one as I put back on . Up and down the same 1 lb . Struggling to really get the extra bit off . Never mind. On the whole I am eating well .have had a bit of a cold too and been tired but that's from work and early mornings.

Have a couple of celebration things this weekend so that will keep me occupied.

Because I work so much on computers and screens and I struggle with the eyes I did take some downtime from socially using screens. I set some timers to see what I was using and it was a good bit. Definitely turned that around so hope to keep it up for a while .
 
Much better to gain/lose the same pound over and over than to skip the "lose" part. I'm glad you're giving us quick check-ins so we know how you're doing but if your eyes need rest I agree you shouldn't hang out here too long.
 
I remember you had trouble with your sight a couple of years ago, Petal. It's a good idea to reduce your social screen time when you spend a lot of work time looking at them with work. I have a timer set for FB. When I get my new phone I'm going to spend a lot of time getting it well set up & then I'm going to spend less time on my phone. Reading a book is much more relaxing for me.
 
Agreed Cate, em and Lama . I have been doing well staying off screen . Even after been on it this morning by eyes are streaming already . the phone is small and I have a big phone !

still messing about with that 1 lb but had a couple if bad days . I have been tired and cold and struggling but will get back to it now . Work is busy and so much going on . Really wish I could win the lotto . Lol
Speaking of work I am running late so more later
 
As long you know WHY the scale isn´t cooperating... The local lotto slogan is "give luck a chance" and I still don´t play (because I know the odds) but it´s still a nice thing to daydream about :)

Sounds like maintenance to me. Petal, I know you want to lose a bit more weight, and I would be happy if you did, but I also think maintaining at your current weight is not be a bad thing, a whole lot better than gaining. You are doing a great job of fighting the battle, keep it up!

I hope to be where you are soon, I just am not sure which pound I will end up "messing with". And it may well be 10 lbs or so above my "ideal" weight.
