[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?

I try to do over 30 mins (so 31 mins) Jaq as thats when you start burning fat, i will do it while the apprentice is on too then!

Good evening everyone.

Hope you are all well and happy today. Bella I am very impressed with your menu for your boys. Where are you off to?

Vicar, I used to post ages ago and then just couldn't keep up and I think it has been so long now that I am practically a new face again. I am going down the route of just posting in the hope that all is forgiven and I can return like some sort of prodigal son. Do the same as me, post away in the hope that you can just blend right in! another sheepish from moi!

Yank - watcha! I have been following your posts on FB. I can hardly believe you have only 7 weeks to go! Very exciting.

Am off out tonight so am going to post todays food and then see what that leaves me for a meal tonigh.

Breakfast - Pain au chocolate
Lunch - smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, packet of salt and vinegar squares, one costa skinny mocha
Snack - 4 chocolate bourbons (they'd got them in the meeting especially for me, what's a girl to do!)
Other snack - 4 fizzy cola bottles sweets

So on the basis of that, I'd say I'm looking at one salad leaf and half a glass of wine tonight .

Vicar I sort of barged in earliertoo. Nobody seemed to Mind. I gave been eating line this since feb and not list an ounce. Any thought? Have only just started exercising properly though after I kist heart with the shred.

Today I have had bran flakes and ss milk, pitta with feta and salad, dinner will be salmon, a few new pots and a huge salad. I am not so good at weekends but stil pretty virtous. Just started couch to 5k and do resistance training every other day.

Please someone tell me I can loose 10lb by my 40th birthday at the end of June.

And if you get through the typos I take
My hat off to you. Blardy phone.

How did I miss you were pregnant Yank!!!!!!!!!

How very exciting.

B: Grapefruit, boiled duck egg, 2 cups of tea
L: Rocket & parmesan salad, satsuma
T: Tuna jacket & salad

Exercise: 1.5k run, 1hr circuits (outside - looked like a beetroot ), 10 mins powerplate.

Jaq - Don't feel guilty about sitting doing nothing. It is good for you!

MrsRichards - hope all ok with DS and you have a good HV?

I will join you in watching the Apprentice, but may be supping a G&(S)T rather than stepping/x-training.

Welcome Vicar/twofalls. And yes 10lb in a 5 week month totally do-able. Have you been acquainted with Lord Ford? He is good.

LOL Fanny. Keep up

I am totally lost with all the name changes, I know who TSC is but other than that . . . .

oh god i dont have a clue with name changes.....someone pm me with TSC new name? purlease?

(i swear i am the least observant person ever)

I don't believe I have met lord ford. do tell

TSC had an old name so you don't need to get confused and hello Vicar and twofalls

DD2 has frickin chicken pox! So that throws all our jubilee weekend plans out of the window.

DS has had it but DD1 hasn't so I suspect she will have it very soon as well.

So exercise during The Apprentice it is then, I'm going to try and step up and down for the full hour at a steady pace. That's got to earn me some extra calories hasn't it?

Lord Ford

Some swear by MFP but when we started these threads, MFP was a mere glint in an app developers eye.

Put in your weight, height and mother's inside leg measurement and set it to lose 2lb a week and you are good to go

Ask the Lord Jaq. He is all knowing.....

The Lord doesn't know anything about people my size, his knowledge is limited to only slightly over weight people and not ginourmous hulks like me Yes the Lord has a fault

I shall add it to MFP and see what it tells me.

The Lord is not all seeing????

My belief and inner core is shattered .

Oh the pox Jaq - is she poorly with it too? DS1 wasn't but DS2 was awful.

Vicar

MyCat, we are going to New York.

Fanny, how are you doing the bream? Have you filleted yourself?

Everyone's menus seem lovely.

Hope DS is ok MrsNR.

Sazz, that power plate thingy makes me want to be sick. Definitely an acquired taste!

Shiney, how are you tonight? The girl that did my nails in Fenwicks is moving to Browns to be on the Bobbi Brown counter - she will get 65% off their makeup and stuff , just shows what mark up there is.

I had changed into my gym gear at tea time (normally go Wed straight from work in the afternoon, but had my nails done in town), as DS2 is tutored and it is round the corner from the gym, so I thought 45 mins was better than none. We were just going out of the door and he had a mahoosive nosebleed, which wouldn't stop, so I had to txt and cancel and then I got involved with ironing.

I seem to be taking a lot of white things in my suitcase, I hope it doesn't rain...

Actually the extra time at home was very useful and I made up my parents bed and cleaned out the filters in the dishwasher.

Tomorrow at work there are going to be homemade cakes (I usually make something but don't have time) to raise money for a local hospice. I shall put my money in, but will not have a cake

Evening

Bella - When are you off to NY? I have yet to brave walking very fast jogging in front of people yet, I am supposed to as part of my warm up for trampolining, but I'm too . So, in my PT sessions, we are starting jogging round the sports hall when no-one is using it

Shiney, I have been thinking of you a lot lately, as my trainer guy has given me a diet sheet with no carbs for three days, then eat what you like the fourth. And so on. I am right in remembering you had some success with low carbing? As I normally resort to quick sandwhiches, I think this is going to be a bit of a challenge...

Hi Mittz, lovely to see you too, hope you are ok lovely

Fanny, I too am completely lost with the name changes. Can someone fill me in also please? And how are you and your lovely family? DD2 frequently asks after you all How is the job going?

Hey Sazz - lovely to see you!

I really can't keep up to mention everyone, but hi to all

Big news today, DD2 has been discharged from the hospital re her height issues. She is still tiny a bit small, but, she has stayed on the same percentile line for two years now, so at least she is growing. 2.5cm this past year! Can't forget the 0.5 - tis very important when you're only small

We are all well thank you Jet say Hi to your lovely girls from us all. Great news about DD2, how is DD1. Job is great, a real eyeopener and I am learning a huge amount about drugs.

The bream is being baked in the oven whole. I cooked at the weekend otherwise DH does most of the cooking but hopefully that will change as the hours are flexible.

DD1 is good thanks. Finally had dx of ASD (not Aspergers, which was a bit of a surprise), she has really settled well at school now she has help in certain lessons/situations, and is just generally a lot happier all round. Well, as happy as DD1 gets

I'm glad the job is going well, is it permament?

The bream sounds delicious, I think I need to be a bit more adventurous with food.

Jaq - bugger about the pox, and massive nosebleeds are awful Bella, hope DS2 has recovered. Well done on resisting the cakes

Thank you. To reach goal I have about 1200 calories to play with. Eek! Might kick start after jubilee weekend with the h
Jason vale juicing regime for 5 days.

How have others had success? I feel I gave been eating well for months with no results.

Bella - she has been ill for a few days, we went and got her her inhalers last week as she has been wheezing and coughing. I just thought it was another cold but now I'm thinking it was the begining of the pox.

She seems ok in herself now though so we shall see.

Right Apprentice time...I'm off to start stepping!

Jaq - do you have any Piriton? Did wonders for DD's - no scratching at all.

Jet - glad DD1 is happier . Is ASD not Aspergers Spectrum Disorder?

TwoFalls, i lived on 1200 cals a day for a year and lost 4 stone. Tis do-able, but you have to be very strict all the time. Dull but effective.

Exciting news here; i have pink wee

Jaq keep stepping! im going to get on my cross trainer tomorrow soon

ive just made a boat

Wow sizzle that is impressive! I am sure I can do it for a month. It's this time of the day that's the killer!

I have pink wee too. Loads of beetroot.
