Of course it took me awhile to work out the bad chest pain was in fact pulled muscles rather than me having a heart attack.

That must´ve been scary! Glad it wasn´t anything bad.

My weight is another lb lower so that's great . I was called a skinny Minnie on Thursday! I am now 4lb off my slimming world target I think but I am actually just doing it on my own now . I am just being very mindful of what I eat . I am happy to just keep going as I am and if it takes another 4 months to lose another 4 lbs then happy days . I still will always have my jelly belly I think . So be it .

I love, love, love that.
 
Wow, I hope you can take it easy until your chest muscle heals up. Scary!! Big congrats on all your weight loss, and I bet your stomach will firm up over time. Do you have a new goal in mind when you reach your slimming world target, or just maintenance? So wonderful you are almost there!!!
 
Thanks all . Marsia I am happy to maintain to be honest .

I have never been so busy in my life . I literally never stopped yesterday. Work, shopping , walk, cleaned utility room , wrapped gifts then spent 2 hours sorting xmas corporate gifts for my husbands clients . Today is so far hectic but hoping to be finished by 8 pm this eve but that includes a walk too . I am so looking forward to my break now . I am tired .
 
Oh, I held my breath and got tense just reading about your day. Ugh! So happy exercise is part of today, and I hope you can take breathers at least and find your happy place!!

I think maintenance is a really great goal. I felt weird when I typed "just maintenance" though I know you know I didn't mean it that way! I can't wait for "just" maintenance!!! So completely happy for you!:):):)
 
Only one more work day then a 2 week break . Yeah
Em just some little hampers . I think they are all delivered now . Next year I will remind him to send a bit earlier .

I have achieved so much in the last week . Work went well , tomorrow will be tidying up and making my to do list for when I go back on jan 4th .

Out for bar meal tomorrow eve and then stocking filling shopping for the “kids “ . Lol I still love to spoil them .

My plan for Christmas is to walk every day the weather allows me and do a 30 min workout otherwise . Will take one rest day a week maybe .

Food wise is to eat well and healthy and to maintain my weight from tomorrow until January 4th .

Plenty of reading and watching crap tv . Also I have babysitting duties to help out my sis in law and I have some family for a meal after Christmas Day .

Me too Cate

Right I am hoping this holiday stays calm . Today I’m walking , cooking and going to mind kids tonight . I am taking a meal
With me . Maybe cottage pie.

As I said to Lama above I am exhausted. I’m
Not worrying much about housework or anything now this Christmas. I can clean in spring. A quick hour everyday between us will keep it ok .

We have had an obscene amount of alcohol given to us already by husbands clients . Not sure what we will do with it . Wine whiskey and cognac .

Have a good weekend all
 
Wine, whiskey, and cognac keep well and are great for regifting. Even to the people who originally bought them, as folks tend to gift what they themselves like to drink and who knows the difference between one bottle and the next? Plus if they don´t drink it either you can keep passing the same bottle of cognac back and forth for all festive occasions for years and save a ton of money :p
 
Lol very true Lama . My son has decided to gift one of the whiskey and my daughter is gifting some wine today. Lol we will get back similar I guess . I looked the cognac up and it’s about 170 so will keep that and gift it back next year oerhaps !
 
It’s lovely to get gifts like that but since no home visits are allowed, it will be a while before you have a cognac drinker in the house! Although you never know.

Have a nice rest this weekend Petal. Hope babysitting goes well.
 
So happy to hear you get a real rest!!! I hope you really get to enjoy it thoroughly! Is it fun baby sitting little ones again? I miss that a lot. We just went through some of my kid's baby pictures that my mom printed out and it was wonderful to see how many wonderful adventures we went on with K when she was little. Nice your kids are home and you can spoil them for Christmas!! When people bring wine over for dinner, I serve it in little drinking glasses since I have no idea where our wine glasses are. That's the only time we actually drink alcohol, so I empathize!
 
I have been walking every day and doing bits of chores . I do have to pop to work this morn for about half an hour but should be stress free. Grocery shopping after.

Met my sister yesterday for coffee which was nice . I weighed myself yesterday morning and I have committed to being the same weight Jan 4th . Fingers crossed .
I'm trying not to get anxious about all the bad news here right now. The UK is in a dreadful mess and the political agenda with them and Europe is not good. It's very worrying .

Marsia and Em thanks . yes it's fun to mind the little ones I do enjoy it but they have special needs so it's worrying too as communication can be difficult. The more I do the better it is .
