Time for some JuShi fruit (and veg) with the healthy eaters

[TrillianAstra]

This is our mumblemumbleth thread. We want to eat more healthily and/or lose weight.

In theory.

Mostly we like to chat and admire teh thread mascot - he helps us not to over-eat.

If that doesn't do it for you, you can always go old-school - I know I'm too scared to go into the dark spooky kitchen now

I've got a Tom called Bob

I really feel totally lost on the thread - can't keep up at all.

Bella - are you back on the bread/carbs yet? Just a small warning!! You have to do it gradually. 1 serving a day for a while otherwise it does go back on quickly and you'll be pissed off (with tracey and me ). How much did you end up losing.

We got collared as we came home drunk from DH's birthday meal by a german neighbour. We had just staggered from the taxi to the door and he suddenly appeared in the darkness and asked if he (and the other students) in the house up the road could share our broadband for the next 2 weeks as they were waiting to be set up. As we were pissed in fine spirits we said 'yeah yeah let's sort out t/m'. But just realised in the cold light of day it's not sensible at all is it? If they download lots of shite it's our IP address. And it was a bit weird the way he turned up....he must have been waiting and watching...

Am a little lost too Hells.

Re. your broadband - have you got it locked so no one else can get on? If so - just say you've forgotten how to unlock it - I wouldn't let a houseful of students/strangers use mine to be honest.

Another gorgeous day here.

Well i have caved. so far this week i have had 3 medical appointments, made appoints to see 3 more next week, and spoke to about 8 different specialsts/or their receptionists in the vague hope of sorting everything out. I hate the medical system sometimes it is just so long winded and i still have no answers. And i now have chocolate butter icing in my computers\ \ \ keyboard. Opps meant to say it is the diet part i have caved on. not been good this week at all. Its all mitts fault she made me do it

Anyhow i think there might be a possible plan for sorting ds out and will have to see what they do with me when the results come back, hopefully next week.

AS for right out, i am going down to the rink. not skating just errand running. it is making me feel unreasonably happy. no idea why but it is.

umm - skating rink and happiness. Are there any nice people there perchance Slug?

Great to hear there is a potential plan for DS - very encouraging.

Tracey - gorgeous here too. Is Bea still letting you sleep? DD is choosing to terrify me with her drunken walking skills. She split her lip open this morning and looks like she has gone through 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. And everytime she eats it starts bleeding again

I'm going to say to the students we use this IP for work (which is true) and our 'tech' department (i.e my brother ) has said we cannot hand over the access for security reasons!!!

not this time of the day no. it will be very empty. most people are at work.

Fabulous answer to the students thing well done.

Ooh, I'm out having a lovely lunch with DP as a treat (he's just taking a phonecall, I'm not MNing in front of him )

He is grumbling that I am having a Greek salad for a fiver..."A fiver?! It's only bloody lettuce!"

enjoy bof!

eeek its 2pm already. i'm late. gotta dash

hey. Can I join up?
Need to lose about 4 stone, but willpower is sadly lacking (it's all being used to quit smoking atm)

oh (I'm strangely disappointed - I thought there may be one of those skating chaps there )

BOF - have fun!!

Hey Queenofdreams, well done on quitting the fags, how are you planning on losing the weight? We have all methods on here.

BOF, enjoy your lunch.

Slug, get your ass into gear!

Hells, good plan re: putting off the cheeky students

Lovely here too, have got a load of the washing sorted and mine put away and am packing my bag for tomorrow, squeee!

I couldn't even finish the salad- gets a bit samey after a while. DP is trying to make me though- "there's one pound seventy-five's worth sitting there!"

lizzy not sure - think I just need to make a few basic changes to diet - usually eat pretty healthily. Just need to cut down on the vino tbh and maybe have something healthy on pizza night and let DP hog the pizza.
Biggest change needs to be excercise really.

I bloody love you guys, I really do.

Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

Bored Shiney? How the feck do you manage to have time to be bored? (unless you are at work)

Awww, we love you to Mitts

Queen, have you looked at Foodfocus? You enter all your details in and it tells you how many calories you can have for that day, then you enter your food and exercise and can keep a track. It's good and makes you exercise so you can earn some treats.

Have been playing dinosaurs with DS2, not as dull as trains and cars. He is just so lovely on his own, constant cuddles and wanting his back stroked and just randomly says "I love you Mommy". Then when he and DS1 get together it is mayhem.

The Lord Ford is wonderful - you can eat whatever you like, just not quite as much of it as you might like...

Hello all

Hells - I had a tiger roll filled with salad for my lunch - this is the first bit of bread I have had since doing this. Have had small amount of rice/pasta/couscous throughout. Have lost 4.5lbs. I sort of did the weightwatchers thing with it too. I am trying to stay away from the bread though and will only have it if I am stuck for something to eat like today.

It is warmish here today, but no sun.

We had the sniffer dogs in at work (routine check), police marking bikes, fire service giving talks and I had to call an ambulance - twice (I hate calling 999). So rather hectic one could say!

Hello lovely bella.

Tiger bread is lovely - I had 3 slices last night with my stew (I had 'casserole beef' in the freezer, it needed using before it's too warm to have stew).

Why did you have to call the ambulance? Do your boys go to a different school?

Trillian - what is this Lord Ford?

Oh yes Trills, they go to a very different schools!!

One child fainted off his stool and as he went down caught his head on something and the other child passed out and had some sort of seizure all within about 5 mins of each other.

a

Blimey Bella, what a day!
Nowt so exciting here, except perhaps some Pterydactyls being bumped off my forehead by DS2.

Queen, LOrd Ford is the nickname for Food Focus, cos it looks like Ford Focus...

Food Focus = Ford Focus = the Lord Ford. Here, it's basically a freee calorie counter. Because no matter what other diets may try to tell you, they are just more complicated ways of making you use more calories than you take in.

You have to run and chase every other Ford car that you see Queen.. it burns off loads of calories so you can eat what you want

Hello there

I am Mitts.. although I have to say I don't always tell the truth.......

ah ok already registered with them, just need to get back on that wagon again!
