General healthy eating and exercise thread with aim of losing weight / shaping up. Aim to eat 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, and do more exercise. No bizarre diets please. Weigh in day is Monday (you don't have to weigh in but we will punish you by with-holding stickers). Diet coke will be frowned upon.

No time for exercise tonight. Need to bake cupcakes for pre-school funday in the morning!

Warm water and lemon. Weetabix, apple.
Salad, 3 bits of cheese spread sandwich that the children didn't finish (about 1 quarter on brown bread) bite of cheese.
Ice cream. (Only had a small one.)
Coffee, 3 biscuits, snickers (not good but I bought it on Sunday and resisted til now!)
Lasagne, salad.

cake batter

Grr. Not such a good day. Will plan better and improve tomorrow!

oh good i'm glad you had a good day too
i have never had a subway, are they nice? the shop smells so bad

the frozen risotto was what we had for lunch! we went to a new park which Just Happened to be round the corner from waitrose
i think it's nice, and so bloody quick to have in the freezer
i haven't tried the frozen pasta one, that seemed a bit lazy even for me, but i may go for it next time
i don't find it hard to bung some pasta on, but the risotto cooks in 6 mins so it is for days when you have stayed out too late and need something on the table FAST before everyone collapses

fan fiction is erm a bit embarrassing
it's when there are popular characters in a book or series or whatever, eg dr who, and people who are big fans of the series write their own stories about the characters
and other people read them
they are usually smutty and / or romantic
it's often awful shite but some of it is excellent
there are whole genres eg slash which means a sexual story about a relationship between 2 male characters

i defy anyone not to find it at least a little bit intriguing and it is amazingly popular, with all kinds of people
but it feels terribly teenage

OP posts:
CoupleofKooks · 21/07/2010 20:53

i am knackered
i spent half the night fretting about our grumpy neighbour who has basically been bullying the children when they play out the front
ds1 has been coping with it really well but i hate it and i want to confront him about it, but am scared it will make it worse
then at 6 am ds2 woke me up to tell me "Doggies can talk"
i ignored him for as long as humanly possible while he said more and more insistently "Doggies. Can. TALK"
eventually i gave in and asked him what they said and he said "Omelette."

i have given birth to two loons. i give up.

Well done on the midweek 2lb loss!

DS2 is hilarious! I love the things they come out with. I can't believe his speech though, it's amazing. We get lots of single words from ds, sometimes two together, but mostly it's gibberish! Being at home with you and ds1 has obviously been a real plus for him.

lol at Fan Fiction. I've never heard of it. Are you a Mills & Boon fan too?!!

CoupleofKooks · 22/07/2010 16:42

cheeky
ff is a bit more smutty than mills and boon
well, a LOT more smutty
i would say it only exists to peddle smut
often badly written smut, but there's so much of it out there thanks to the internet, that there really is something for everyone

OP posts:
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 22/07/2010 18:20

banana
apple
3 apricots
2 ryvita with cream cheese, olives, cucumber sticks and cherry toms
snickers bar
homemade lasagne with rocket, radishes, toms, cucumber and coleslaw.

Am off out to Boog Group tonight. The book was High Fidelity and I read it again even though I read years ago. I hated it as much the second time tbh!

CoupleofKooks · 22/07/2010 19:03

oh i liked a lot of things about high fidelity, but i am not sure i would enjoy it now
his male characters are always pretty annoying, aren't they?

i have cleaned my fridge
i think this was the first time i have cleaned it since ds2 was born
i wish i was joking
