Maybe 13 pounds lighter and a BFP for Christmas please?

I just posted about your job interview on another thread, sorry. How did it go??

Really want to lose a pound this week so am avoiding the mars bar sat in my fridge. Now gaxaly wholenut ...... might ring OH to get me a bar. That is naughty. Lets hope we all get BFP's in december. xx

Oh no Natty, so sorry to hear about AF, what a btch!! Why don't you eat chocolate during AF? I have* to have it then!!! good luck for a December BFP!!!!

Don't think i would like that soup. Af has arrived so desperatley trying to avoid chocolate.

i am having soup from the covent garden soup company - have always fancied trying them but a bit expensive so when i saw them on special offer I thought I'd give them a go. Stupidly bought the smoked haddock one though - nobody in my office will talk to me now.

Today I have had a bowl of Quaker OatCrisp with skimmed milk (I can't have any other milk now - it's all too cloying)
And some toast.
A glass of cranberry and orange juice.
A cup of rooibos tea (found it in Sainsbury's yesterday, naturally caffeine free - tastes good)
1/2 a litre of water.

That sounds like a plan Natty!! Curl up with a hot water bottle!!

Might be true, i only used to have a max of 3 cups a day so wouldn't have thought it would make this much difference but may it has, you never know.

Going to have a nice bowl of soup for lunch and some pain killers as my back is killing me today and have bad AF pains (no af yet)

Apparently... (don't you just love sentences that start with that word!!) you shouldn't just cut out caffeine, it's not good for you, the body will be going cold turkey and you might start to feel poorly (coincidence??)... they say to cut down and then cut out.

It's probably a myth

Well in the evening i had an options mint hot choc then my OH gave me a kinder egg - how could i say no?

ill today so had some granary toast and orange juice, not sure how well i will do on the water, I dying for a cup of tea but this will be day 4 without tea or coffee and i must not give in.

Hope everyone else is being good well ish.

Ok... for lunch I had a ham barm, and kettle chips and a yoghurt

I haven't eaten in between, but i didn't need to cos I had lots of kettle chips. oh and a hot chocolate (almost forgot that!)

for tea I had pasta in a pepper/tomato sauce (that I made - does that make up for the kettle chips?? no, ok then ) with a mountain of salad (rocket, lettuce and red onion - yes my breath stinks - no BDing tonight!!)
No dessert cos of the kettle chips, but I am about to have a cup of ovaltine before bed!!

There was me thinking that having to tell everyone what I ate would motivate me to be good... didn't work today. Let's see if it does tomorrow.

PS. No exercise unless traipsing round the shops to find a cardi counts??

Mmmmm....that sounds nice.
I have just had quiche, salad and a few potatoes!
Not too bad!
Bit of wine later though...........

Conkertree....I'm in a primary school (part-time now) but taught full time for 8 years and now PT for another 4.
Makes me sound OLD!!!
Some of the children I've taught are finishing University now and tower over me scarily!!!!

Coggy - hope you enjoyed your fish and chips. Best be better tomorrow.

Being a bit naughty myself this evening have got chicken breast stuffed with cheese and then wraped in bacon with a Jacket potato. Yummmy. x

are you a teacher coggy? and if so what kind - I am having serious career change thoughts, and teaching is something I've thought about for a long time. although has nothing to do with healthy eating so maybe the wrong thread

Ooops!
I forgot we were writing it down from today!!!

Tomorrow will be better....

cereal (a bit sugary but muslei) and s-sk milk
fish, chip and peas and a fruit salad (school dinner!!)
toffee apple (for Children-in-need!!)

Well for lunch i just had a salad sandwich on granary bread.

LOl at your carrot juice conkertree.

Have just given up the gym this month to try gentler exercise like yoga and walking my dog but am borrowing my friends mini trampoline to get my heart pumping 3 times a week.

Can I join you? Had special K and semi-skimmed milk today - I'm not a fan of skimmed I'm afraid. Green tea is such a fantastic drink. Out on Friday night and DH had a beer at the Japanese restaurant - I thought I'd healthy and go for carrot juice, and had to pretend it was really tasty all the way through the glass so DH didn't laugh at me. But had green tea too which made up for it.

Having mushroom soup - but not creamy, and a wholemeal pitta for lunch. Will definately have to try harder with the water.

How about exercise with everyone? Am feeling quite proud of myself - did an hours run on Sat and felt great afterwards, but think that will be the last hour long one for a while.

At first I was weeing all the time but once your body gets used to the amount it regulates itself. My doctor told me 2.5 litres. But I think 2 litres is great! I am amazed at the amount of people that never drink water!

2 ½ litres, i would be weeing all the time, think i will stick to 2 litres.

Looks like we are all off to a good start. x

Started off well too (how long will it last??) shredded wheat bitesize and skimmed milk, and a glass of cranberry & orange juice. and 1/2 a litre of water so far!! Aiming for 2 and a1/2 litres a day.

Yep I have started off well, brankflakes with skimmed milk, orange juice and a bannana. Plus have taken 2 litres of water to work with me today so hoping to get through that.

Only 7 more Fridays to go
