On a serious note I am actually trying to get healthier!

I know we had an xmas diet thread (remember the long abandoned Beyonce uber honey gathering dust at the back of your cupboard???)

So - how is everyone getting on?

Not long till that Christmas party now...

I can't believe you're thinking if Christmas diets/ fitness already when I failed at the summer one!

ASDA (Warrington) still have kids stuff but no adults -

On the upside I just got a pink set of picnic ware - plates, cups, a jug and cooler bag for £3.50 - WIN!

So I'm sorted on the eating part of my holiday....

We have swimwear year round and we have a sale starting on august 20th :)
I managed to get to target with my diet by the way, I lost one stone and 4lbs altogether, I stuck at the same weight for ages so did a detox to lose the last 7lbs x

Yes I have been beach body ready for a while....

But then that depends on who might be judging me.:rolleyes:

I would look good next to Kerry Katona or Adele perhaps, but not next to Nicole Scherzinger.

In an ideal world I could probably do with losing half a stone but I am not going to torture myself over it.

I cant bear the gym so I try to eat a healthy diet all year round, walk the dog twice a day, gardening, housework, I dont sit down too much.

If I happen to come across a bar of chocolate or a pork pie then I indulge.

Its all about balance at the end of the day.

I'm gutted I've put on half a stone since my transplant, I'm blaming it on the steroids. If any one else tells me I look 'well' I shall cry, I know it's code for swell, I've got big hamster cheeks!
Gramaisc, I've not only bought some C word pressies, but they are wrapped and packed! :xmas: ho ho ho

@peggy

I think that under the circumstances, after all that you have been through, putting on half a stone is nothing. Really, nothing at all.

If you have been poorly for ages then you probably do "look well" and its nothing to do with weight but probably that you have colour in your cheeks and you look healthy.

I expect people are happy for you, why would you want to cry if they are being kind?

I didn't intend to sound ungrateful to the kindness people have shown me, I have been overwhelmed by the support and love people have offered me. The gentleman who I was particularly thinking of was being just that, kind and supportive. He was, however genuinely pleased to see I've gained weight. I don't want to cry because they are being kind, more that I'm disappointed that I've gained weight, weight loss was the upside to the illness, every cloud and and all that. However I'm not so vain that I would swop having a life for a size 6. I'm more than happy to be here with my hamster cheeks than where I was, or where I nearly ended .... I was perhaps flippant in my
comments, it's just my way.

Its early days Peggy.

Things will settle down after a while, your weight will stabilise. Its all still a bit raw and emotional I would imagine at this stage.

Just be kind to yourself, don't be too hard on yourself, take it a day at a time x

If it rains on me (again) at 11:30 next Monday, I might(!) come round and punch you - for your own good, of course.

Don't wrap mine- I'll take it with me.

I want to edit my post.

I took a harsh look at myself undressed last night.

I have decided that I am not beach body ready after all. I sort of was but I'm not now.

It must be because of all the unhealthy food I had in Edinburgh. :embarrass:
