Brilliant jmd1983 and everyone else we will be beach babes and hunk by the summer (the thought of me in beachwear is not pleasant ha ha)

Am going to have a struggle this weekend as I won't be near a computer from this afternoon onwards. At the moment I am absolutely religious about putting my food in spreadsheets (thanks MrGlass) and on foodfocus.co.uk so that I know what I am eating etc.

Am going to be away this weekend in a lovely village in Wales where they have the most amazing tearoom with delicious scones. Going out for breakfast, lunch and dinner all weekend... And it will be my birthday too! How to make sure I don't go over my calorie limit is beyond me!

Any suggestions? (please don't say I should order the side salad without dressing! )

Well, JMD its just for a weekend. I'm not sure what your diet pattern is but the most recommended is 6 days low calorie (ie around 15-20% deficit of your normal maintenance calorie level). Then 7th day, eat what you like in moderation! Ok, scones is bad calories but at least it is on your "comfort day" as Diane calls it. Yeah I know, I know I spotted the flaw in my advice...Weekend is 2 days, lol. But its your birthday! So have fun, and if you feel the weekend will be a lot more calorie heavy than normal than try to do more exercises next week to compensate, and really make your exercises more intense. That should put you back on track :)

And remember the links I gave you in how to eat healthy outside, take printouts with you

Have a great birthday, I love Wales myself, though have only been to Snowdonia regions where I walked up and down the Snowdonia mountain in different visits and walked like a crab for days afterwards...

[jmd1983]

Well the good thing is that we always do a lot of walking when we are there so at least I will be burning some of those calories!

Will stick to 1 scone instead of 2, stuff like that. And hopefully that will make it a pretty ok weekend! :)

Have a great weekend and Happy Birthday, I'm sure you'll be fine for a couple of days as long as you don't go mad

[jmd1983]

But I loooooove going mad

[AnneJ]

He he, don't we all, I need a restraining order just to keep me away from the easter eggs

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

sigh, you girls are all mad...exactly what goes on in you lot head was always beyond me...! It was a nightmare trying to contain you lot during the easter break
