Oh yes.......one more thing..... Let me know if that Pad Thai recipe works out - I may try and make it myself one day!

I actually did believe that you made it

Its treat day today

Menu of the day:
All bran and a banana with a black coffee (350 calories)
4 Ryvita with cottage cheese and pineapple followed by a clementine and a kiwi (300 calories)
Out for coffee and cakes tonight with my friend (it was her birthday last week so its an extra birthday treat - any excuse will do) hence a large slice of cake and a black coffee (somewhere between 700 and 800 calories - I have no idea really so this is a made up figure). I am now always to stuffed to eat a meal as well so don't have dinner

Exercise of the day will be a brisk 4 mile walk (fartlek style as 2 miles to the coffee place and 2 miles back).

Good luck Preston and have a good day everyone else. Looking forward to hearing what everyone else has planned for the day

I actually did believe that you made it

I hoped that you might at first - that's why I put the "time saving tip" link in there.

Good luck for today - better get weighed before you indulge yourself with that gigantic slab of cake.

Ha ha slab is the correct terminology I'm pleased to say that I have lost another 2lbs
Still waiting for Preston's weigh in.

That's fantastic news Diane! Only another 2lbs to go!!! Wish that was me.

A lovely day here today so had a long swim in the outdoor pool and now getting ready to go for a walk.

Give yourself a treat today - you deserve it after all that hard work and exercise.

Thank you so much and I took your advice and had a slice of the most delicious Danish Othello cake (Othello Cake ~ Our vanilla cake batter is gently tempered with macaroon dough for depth. Covered in chocolate ganache and bordered with rolled marzipan. A fruit-&-cream garnish echoes the layers of Bavarian cream and raspberry jam inside) It is pure heaven
The outdoor pool sounds wonderful I am really impressed with you

Come on Preston I am so excited to hear your news Biggins and I are still waiting and its not the gentlemanly thing to keep ladies waiting

[anakin]

Fab news, Diane - well done! Just two more pounds to go. You must be so pleased! Expect you feel like a different person?

Come on Preston - what's the news???

[Preston1990]

Well my "good news" is that when I got weighed this morning I had lost another pound Sorry I didn't have a chance to post it then as I was running late for meeting up with my two cycling pals.

Anyhow I got to our planned rendevous so late that they thought I wasn't coming and had set off without me

I was kind of disappointed because today was the day that we were going to try and do 50 miles for the first time but we hadn't actually finalised where we where going to go exactly. So I couldn't even try and catch them up!

So today I have spent eight hours in the saddle by myself trying to rack up some miles. I've no idea yet how many I've done and whether I've hit the 50 mile mark or not - I'll need to use Diane's Mapmywalk equivalent website for bikes Mapmyride to plot my route on later to find out whether I've done it or not. So watch this space!

Which brings me on to my "better news".........

When I got back home - I got weighed again ...........I'd lost another pound since getting weighed this morning. Now I know that some of you purists may be confronted by this - but I'm having it

No, I don't care what you say - it's my weigh day today and that's what I weigh, so there! - end of!!

So it's a two pound loss for me this week and I'm chuffed!

On another issue, Your cake sounds great Diane........And, I do so think that it is important to reward yourself (as a treat ) once in a while

Which neatly brings me to my lunch!

I honestly did ask the cafe lady for a jacket potato and salad.

"Sorry Love" she says "We only do lunches till 2 O'clock"

This is what I ended up with - That's a desert spoon on the table - not a teaspoon - just so you have an idea of scale.

I was relieved to hear that it was carrot cake! - MrG is always telling us to eat more vegetables - so a good choice I'd say!!

Well done Preston1990 on your 2lb weight loss that is brilliant
8 hours in the saddle that is frigging amazing

As for the cake that is one mega cake mine in contrast which I thought was big is a sliver in comparison http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/ ... adilly.jpg (found this on trip advisor but its the right restaurant and the correct cake and size)

Thank you so much anakin for your constant support and I do feel so much better for having lost it - I still have generous thighs but I guess that's just me and specific exercises may work on them.
