Last few days have been pretty good. I bought lots of veggies and butternut squash and made a big pan of veggie soup and butternut squash soup. 

Whenever I'm peckish I go straight to the freezer and get me a portion. Went to Kickboxing on Monday and today went to Yoga and a Latin Heat class for the last half hour plus 3 Toning Table sessions. 

I also made my yearly Cranberry Sauce for the Yultide season    

Feeling more in control this week. Would be nice if the scales helped me along a little  No, I'm not weighing myself for another couple of week yet. Need to get my holiday weight off before I declare all

Apart from the odd breakfast this week most days I've gone without. Not good, I know, but just can't bring myself to eat in the morning. I can however eat a full English at the weekend, but I haven't done that in a while.

The rest of the time I have tried to stay within my daily carb limit. Having spent so much time celebrating with my family in England and then cruising back to USA my daily eating habits weren't the best.  

There was a moment in UK that I was doing well at the gym but that's gone to the dogs since I came back. The mornings are colder and it's the same old story. I need stodge to keep me going and we all know that stodge = high carb 

So, my estimated total carbs for the last 4 days is around 250. 

Still not the best but getting better. I must stop procrastinating

Well, had a few interesting days. Some very very good and some very very bad. Nights are getting chillier and so is my need for stodgy food. Bought lots of veggies today so I can make soups and put them in the freezer should the need arise.

So, total estimated carbs since 3rd Oct about 270..... Not so good

Had an interesting few days. Some high carb breakfasts are creeping in but trying to stick to low-carb for lunch and dinner. 

I joined a gym. Thought I'd better try and do something while on holiday. 

It's similar to Curves in USA. 30 minutes workout but the extras are you can have a manicure/pedicure/massage etc while your there.... that's my type of gym

Ooops. Sorry I havent written anything in the last week. Been enjoying myself far too much travelling to see my family in UK.

Over the last week I've been relatively good. Lots of gym visits but still my stomach is not co-operating. Now I'm on holiday I will have to find a gym of some kind, otherwise it will be downhill....all the way

I havent stood on the scales for about 3 days now. Never gone a day without standing on them, unless they were in need of batteries. Keep looking at them and they keep looking at me.... not really knowing what to say..... Will try to go without another day.  

Think I can do it ?

2 good days. But still cant seem to finish the day without my chocolate

Only 4 days until I go on my jollies...so excited  

It's Memorial Day in USA and Spring Bank Holiday in UK...

 and yes, I went to my Kickboxing class today and kicked ass  Grrrrr! So glad I did it. I wasnt going to bother but going away soon made me get my backside out of bed and got moving.

Work is also very busy and I dont like to leave when there is so much to do but my team is more than qualified to take over for me while I'm away. Real Estate is BUSY!!! Love it !! If you're thinking of moving, call me or message me through the discussion board.

In the meantime.......

This week I have lost 1lb  

Having a positive low-carb and keep fit week. Last week I made 6 gym visits, 1 Kickboxing, 1 Pilates and 4 Toning Tables.

This week I have already done 2 classes at the gym - Kickboxing and Toning Tables and due in at the gym again tomorrow. Must admit, yesterday I had a high carb day BUT it was only 1 day out of 7 so staying focussed is tantamount. Only about 10 days to my jollies and cant wait

Last week I said "It has been the hardest month ever." Well, let me add another week to that month.

Having said that I am seeing some changes to my poor tummy. Went for an ultrasound and although all looks OK they will have to do a scan to double check everything is working correctly.  My tummy is still a little swollen but doesn't gurgle anymore.

The last few days have been a bit mixed but I'm hanging in there and managing to stay around 55 carbs per day.

Stomach still swollen and tests not showing much. 

Now have to go for a bloody scan!! I have put that one off until I get back from holiday

 Been pretty good so far and looking forward to standing on the scales in a few days. I eventually went to the doctor and having a test for my swollen tummy. Why does everything happen in May!?!?

One thing's for sure, if I need an op it aint happening until I get back from my holiday

Mega low-carb day. I would normally say that todays carbs are too low, but taking into consideration my carb intake over the last month I think it's OK.

Toning table visit today but still not been t the doctors. Must try to remember tomorrow
