NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SHINEY FEELS

[VinegarTits]

or something like that

Hope there is plenty of glitter on it too, DEM. And creepy crawlies

It's coooold today. ABF - I have hayfever for the first time in yonks and I'd forgotten how grim it is.

Wasting - has your ear unpopped yet? My left ear is going for a personal four day record.

Save a piece for me DEM!

I am going to go and get showered and then hopefully the 2nd load in the washing machine should have finished.

Yogga brekka, Mitts style chopped salad for lunch, roast beef dinner tonight.

On the food front, I ate a bagel and a bowl of cereal yesterday, so am feeling virtuous.

I skipped my WW meeting because I know I have put on, so the theory is that if I eat nothing sensibly this week, then I should have either lost of stayed the same by next Monday. Am feeling rather that I spend £30 a month or so just to lie to myself!!

Bella - your food for the day always sounds a) delicious and b) tiny

DIB - I also eat stacks of fruit in between meals and like tonight, I won't have any roast potatoes, but will have loads and loads of veg on my plate.

Morning, I am working at home today as I am sooo snowed under.

I hope you are all OK. I really mustn't be on here today.

Lotsa Love to all xx

mwah mwah...

Lizzy, yay for new TV! I sort of like post-workout ache, lets you know you've done something (a feeling I haven't had in a while, must take some inspiration from you!)

DIB, hopefully no more mice, yuck. And, um, hooray for 'legitimising' Bizarre, in this day and age. I do WW online so am only spending £10 a month to lie to myself in the comfort of my own home. I am only accountable to this thread!

wasting, I'm the same, can't even think what it feels like to be slim, but it has to be better! I would love to be able to go into any shop and buy clothes, not be restricted to Evans and the odd item here and there.

ABF, What's your DH want you to do? Greet him at the door with a drink in hand like some 50s housewife? Agree he should not be moaning! There are different sort of pollen out at different times, maybe you've just come into contact with it more this year?

bella, am feeling slatternly next to you this morning, am still in my dressing gown!

Had grape nuts and strawberries for breakfast instead of my usual peanut butter toast. Chicken stir fry for dinner tonight, and probably sandwiches for lunch.

100s and thousands and pink heart sprinkles dib. that is what was decided by ds. my internet connection is really dodgey and have to do stuff, but would rather sleep . mweh. I have a lovely bruise on my leg, with a cut in the centre from last night. it hurts. I have to be up and doing and not technically on here. mweh.
what'll be will be. this getting old merlarky is tiring. my head hurts from overthinking or should that be trying to understand how and why. need sleep. need a magic wand to sort a few bits out. hey ho.

Morning all!

Morning all,

Forgot to do my weight summary. I still need to shift 6lbs...and starting next Monday (after all birthday meals and treats are out of the way) I shall be going hard core. Phase 1 of South Beach diet which is horrid but so far has always helped me shift about 1/2 stone (first time more) in a few weeks.

Bella - are you still trying to shift those remaining few lbs? Yet another edict from South Beach diet is to avoid fruit as well for a week or two (or limit intake)....I hate this part of it because it feels so unhealthy... But if you can't bear that there are certainly some fruits that are more sugar laden than others. do you want me to check when I'm at home (work now) and send you the list of 'good' fruits vrs bad...or is that a step too far .

Also are you due another date night with JM? It went so well last time didn't it?

So I'm stuck in work and won't have much MNing time. So I hope everyone illing is waking up feeling better...and little yank wakes up with clear eyes (or agrees to wear his sunglasses all day a la Teddy).

oh and back to 11stone, 70kg this morning. weight to go down now....

Morning

Cbeebies is doing a stirling job of parenting this morning, i am still in my pyjamas and look likely to stay this way for a while yet. Bad nights sleep due to cramp in thigh and bum cheek - fun

Oh, and i am Alice, have gained about a stone and a half now. as my bump gets bigger my brain is getting smaller.

Erm.....Cake?

Morning

Have lots of cleaning to do today, as me being at work yesterday meant all my good work over the weekend has been undone.

Think I will make a curry for dinner, either that or salmon and cous cous.

ahhh, the pschyo one is back on form. is it too early for cock?

hmmmm maybe i should think about my postings a bit more. that was two completely separate thoughts.

1. psycho is annoying me and complaining
2. hmm tasty specimin, cock talk anyone?

didnt really give that impression.

I have a dilema, but not sure whether i want to divulge as i am sure that someone will come and kick my ass and tell me what i need to hear rather then what i want to hear. will think on it.

should be doing something. cant be arsed.

so question of the day. Who is it you are currently lusting after? which celebrity/sports man is it at the mo?

Thanks for all the wise words ladies

Hells - I really love my fruit.. but if that's what it takes to get the next couple of pounds off then so be it - a list would be helpful, thank you. Date night is the 22nd.

I have got a "slimmer" pair of trousers on this morning and I have tried another pair on that just need a couple of pounds off and they will fit nicely.

Mmmm Zac Effron is kinda nice DEM

Morning Saf.

I really should get the salmon out of the freezer.

I need to do an online shop and the house is a tip

Yet I am sat here MNing and cba.

I get what you mean about your family. My parents hardly ever have the DC but always come over with armfuls of stuff for them and me.

I don't want them to spend anything on us except their time.
