Good day today!

Breakfast- quorn sausages + orange juice (STILL working my way through the vast amount of sausages mum bought me xD)
Lunch- quorn sausage salad (as inventive a recipe as the quorn chicken salad ) + strawberries
Snack- Naked bar
Dinner- vegetable stir fry with rice noodles

Off to the gym tonight as well

Keep it up hun! Stir fry sounds good, what did you put in it? I always throw in so much garlic and ginger that the house stinks for days

I'm in a really good mood today so thought I'd share in the happiness

I've gained FOUR pounds in a WEEK. How is that even possible???

Water weight fluctuations, timing of meals and things, actual legit weight gain (unless you've been eating at a pretty big rate, this won't be that much of it). Although going by the mirror is a much more useful gauge than weight.

I don't think I could ever be objective/observant enough to see 4lbs difference in the mirror! Will weigh myself again on Monday and hopefully it will have gone down.

Lost two of my four holiday pounds last week which is not quite quick enough for my liking but pretty good nonetheless Set myself a mini challenge yesterday of trying a new exercise class every day for the rest of the week. Going to do a work out in the gym tonight and then go to hot power stretch afterwards, whatever that is.

Started doing little push ups (ie. my head/chest not actually making it anywhere close to the floor) in the regular position, rather than up against walls/chairs etc. cos I think that way is better for my technique and keeping back straight and all that stuff, and hopefully I can just get lower and lower until I'm doing real ones.

And in other (really boring) news, todays food-

Breakfast: Bran flakes
Lunch: Babybel light toastie, plum, muller light yoghurt
Snack: Graze my thai crackers
Dinner: Spicy kidney beans on toast (sounds weird, seriously one of the best meals ever)

I'm currently losing "holiday pounds" as well so I feel your pain! So frustrating. But the worst bit is, I didn't even go anywhere! My parents and brother went on holiday for a week so I was home alone, and "treated myself" to make up for it. Gained 3lbs.

I'm also losing my holiday pounds - Gained 3kg whilst I was away. I'm of the philiosophy though that it's nigh impossible to keep to the same diet/exercise regime so why try. They're not staying though!

I dont see why you need to lose weight.

This. She looks good as it is, won't look as good if she lost the weight.
