Like SHINEY Cult... Like Never Before...

[BellaVita]

Hiya

I'm Bella...

Have about 7lb's to lose before my BiG APPLE trip which is ooooh only a few days to go.

Have had quite a good day food wise, apart from the choc hob nob and glass of wine. No gym today as I am doing extra hours at work invigilating.

How the feck is everyone?

not filth shiney? your standards are slipping.

Sazz it is a futher hour by bus once i get to the bus route. biking would mean i had to figure out what to do with it in an area where you dont want to leave one. I used to do this all the time when younger and if i didnt have ds i dont think it would bother me so much. just out of practise and seems a bit daunting atm, but at least i have time to adjust.

Cake is great, as is cider and all other highly calorific, tasty stuff. Am presently scoffing shortbread with chocolate topping.
Hi Bella, just like the olden days.
Shiney I didn't realise my username could be split up into separate words, I've just googled it and found out that I owe an apology to half the city of Liverpool.

Vic, this is the one and only original Shiney. You are on her fb!

I have rhodey five. it always looks sooo pretty. Mind you was over in north wales recently and that was nice too. not the same though.

ignores blatent overuse of creepy weebrackets

see thats what i got confused with! all this talk of part time jobs and cath kidson!

shiney - youve not changed careers have you??

Vicar that is why I never last the course on threads like this. They move too fast, I never remember who said what, or who is who. I do recognise a few of you though from old

.

Morning all. I've had porridge again. We'll see if it triggers heartburn.

If I get my way, 6 weeks from today I'll be on my way to hospital for an ELCS. At least, I'm 90% sure that's what I'm doing. Consultant appt in 2.5 weeks to discuss.

Going swimming with DS this morning. When I say 'swimming', I mean paddling about in less than a meter of water and enjoying not feeling the entire weight of my body for 45 minutes!

Morning
I appear to have been sucked in to the rather naff 50 shades trilogy. Finished first one last night and downloaded 2nd and 3rd straight away Very rubbish but very readable and DH is enjoying the effects
AND if I go to bed to read I am then too far away from the fridge to raid it.

Have lost 2lbs this week, so all good.

Twofalls, I am juicing at the moment. Just having a juice for breakfast and then sometimes one for dinner as well. I also have pink wee as I love juiced beetroots.

Yank, sorry but I giggled at the inclusion of Gaviscon on your daily food list.

Jet, fab news about DD2.

Sazz! Are you still working? Your exercise regime is still amazing, mine has slipped to almost nowt

Jaq, sorry that you are pox ridden, well done on the stepping.

Roight, must work, hope everyone has good days.

Lizzy, I might have to download the 50 shades trilogy to my kindle. I am sure DH would enjoy the effects as I have been through a serious "can't be arsed stage". Will it help?? . Right, will get back onto the juicing after the weekend. I think I have been living on 1200-1500 calories for so long my body just thinks it is normal. So frustating. I would mind not loosing any weight if I was stuffing chrisps and chocolate.

I also laughed at the inclusion of Gavison.

What is this 50 shades you are all talking about?

Melon and tea for breakfast again.

Keeping the plagued one locked in a cupboard and have warned the whole island, the red cross has been daubed on the door!

Skin clear, hair no longer falling out, diet back on track, this week will be a good week I am sure.

50 shades the published ex fanfic piece which is basically porn with a bit of plot thrown in.

How is the poxy one?

Enjoy swimming yank

What's annoying is there is a hell of a lot better fanfic too. they had to publish that one

I tried to read 50 shades of shit but only got a chapter or two in - couldn't bear it. People seem to be divided into two camps that's for sure.

Well, I am streaming with a cold today although that didn't stop me having a small shop in John Lewis earlier. Some twat was up on a crane above my car threatening to jump so I just managed to get out before the police closed the road. I don't think it was my car that was offending him by the way.

So, food today...

Breakfast - chopped fresh apricots, puffed brown rice cereal and natural yogurt

Lunch - roasted sweet potato, yellow pepper and cherry tomatoes with beans, cous cous, salad and cottage cheese

No idea on tea yet - feeling fairly stuffed right now so may just have a fruit salad

im just on my way to work....(boooooo!)

but so far today ive had a very small bowl of crunchy nut corn flakes

lunch was ham and tomato sandwich and a low fat yoghurt

tea will be a horrible rice and sweet/sour thing from uncle ben that you can lob in a microwave for 1 1/2 mins....followed by fruit salad.

i wont get home until about 11.30pm so shouldnt need supper, depending on how stressful work is today i may have a small glass of white wine....i will see. but i havent managed any running today, which is a shame as its much cooler, but i just wasnt organised enough.

probably wont get back until tomorrow.
has Bella jetted off to the big apple yet?

Skim read first few chapters, it is utter dross I agree, but gets better. Well, the sex bits are worth it. Very easy to read.

I didn't know it was fanfic (or even what that is).

I will purge myself by re-reading Camus and Kafka afterwards.

Or just hope for a 4th book

Lizzy, no sadly not. Freelancing dried up in Oct and not a lot since then. However i am waiting back to hear if i have an interview for some contract work which would be good.

B: Grapefruit
L: Rocket & parmesan salad & a cuppa
T: Steak burger and salad.

Exercise: Ran 1.5k, 1 hr pilates.

Sex is great exercise, so all good for the diet. Even if 50 shades atrophies a few brain cells, i think it all evens out.

Vicar, I am still here. Fly Sat.

I m out tonight, so need carbs today to soak up the alcohol.

Enjoy your swimming Yank!

And what did you buy in JL Shiney?

Hi Twofalls.

I think I need to juice.

Hello all.

Cooler here today too, fair bit of rain.

Haven't read or seen any twilight or 50 shades of filth, so can't comment.

Eaten a shocking amount of crap again today, no excuse but DS stresses me out and before I know it I have practically inhaled my own body weight in cake.

Homemade bolognese for dinner, so at least I know that is healthy, especially if I have it with veg instead of pasta.

Hello everyone. Well just went shopping for bridesmaids dresses for my friend's wedding (a bit last minute) and I have a size 10 coast dress which is a bit snug so juicing it us for me after bank holiday.

Have you juiced before bellA? If in the rift mind set it really does work.

I had granola and yoghurt for breakfast, a skinny latte and egg sandwich for lunch. Tea will be fajhitas. Went for a 2mile run/walk. ( week 3 of couch to 5k).

Right going to get the 50 shades book. If sex counts as exercise i might as well give it a go

And although I can fit into size 10 the style meant there was loads if room for my ample arse. I am really short so do not carry weight well. My bmi is 26.

Fanfic is were people take characters from existing fiction and then rewrite them in different plots/situations. There are all sorts of fanfic - startrek, HP or twilight based. There is some interesting twists and some is better then others. It is all on the web for free. Sometimes it sticks to the original eg twlight fanfic - vampires, but alot is just pinching the character profiles there is a lot of non vampire stuff - in fact most of the good stuff isn't. Quite a lot of fanfic is being pulled these days to be published, and it is very contriversial.

broken most of the rules today, especially on no meals. :( ah well tomo is another day.

Nope, never juiced before, but am willing to give it a go after NY! Am thinking I will need to do it more than ever after the trip. I am also very short too, a size 10 but every extra pound bloody well shows.

MrsNR, it has rained all day here. Was all set to wear dress and heels tonight, but now it is trousers and top. I know just how you feel with F. DS2 was/is the same - am always on edge.

The boys and DH are having homemade spag bol.

Hhhmmm can't decide whether to download this 50 shades thing or not, there are plenty of decent steamy novels out there so may just pick one of them instead.

So far today;

B - Melon and a cup of tea
L - Cream of Chicken soup, 1 slice of bread and a banana
D - Is going to be a Co-op healthy option lasagne and salad

I will probably have a yogurt later in the evening and fruit etc if I need it.

DH has decided we are having a BBQ over the weekend so I shall have to work my way around that with care.

DD1 and DS have been invited to play at a friends house tonight but no one bothered to ring or pop round, just sent the children home saying it was ok for them to go and play. I bloody hate it when people do this, I'm left to guess whether what they are telling me is correct; Have they really been invited? Who invited them, another child or the Mum? How are they getting there? Howe are they getting back? Are they having dinner? Etc, etc, etc

I don't have a frickin clue and it drives me mad because I will end up looking like a fool when I misinterprit it all!

The poxy one is suprisingly well, no new spots and the itching has stopped Still taking no chances and have kept her in the cupboard.

Jaq, it is pure crap, but very readable and about all my brain can take at the moment.
Would be interested in any better recs along the same lines though Last mucky book I read was my Mom's copy of Emmanuelle. In furtive chunks

I had no idea it was connected to Twilight, have never read/watched any of that, don't do vampires.

I love juicing, makes you feel very healthy. Only in Spring/Summer though.

Today:

Breakfast: Porridge with raisins, cinnamon & splenda, 1/2 an iced coffee with milk
Lunch: Subway Turkey & Ham with lots of salad, Sunbites crisps, Sprite
Snack: 4-5 slices wafer thin ham, raisins, grapes
Dinner: 5 slices of small stonebaked ham & mushroom pizza from Asda, with ranch dressing dip

God, that's really shit, isn't it....especially for trying to avoid refined carbs! I also normally wouldn't have had regular pop, but I couldn't face diet coke (have really gone off my diet cola recently and will try to keep it that way).

Swim was nice, getting out not as nice as I look like a beached whale and people still can't properly tell if I'm pregnant or just an extremely apple-shaped fat person.

The groceries have arrived today so will be having more fruit/veg tomorrow hopefully!

MrsNR, if any consolation, DS is making me absolutely nuts and I seem to spend all day shouting and cleaning up disasters. Today he deliberately flung a potty full of wee on the floor for no apparent fucking reason, and then still wanted his sweetie for going on the potty! He didn't get it. Git. He's currently riding the dog like a horse despite being told off a billion times today for the same. Oh look, bedtime!!!
