WWW's ten year younger bootcamp, week wtf again, spring 2008

[WideWebWitch]

All welcome

Veils drawn over last week...

The rules (anyone can join):

This is about feeling better about yourself...not necessarily a diet per se etc etc

• Sunscreen at all times
• No or little booze. Wine at the weekend is allowed if you want it
• Walking is important, a small amount every day if possible. 30 mins if you can
• Lots of water, aim for 2 litres a day
• Apply body cream as often as possible
• Use hand cream
• Go to bed early, by 10.30pm if pos
• Eat healthily
• Be happy

The idea is that at the end of six weeks we all feel happier, healthier and glow with the good food, sleep, exercise, water and lack of sun damage

Hello JJ.

Batters, it's still a fantastic achievement, and you deserve all the plaudits you get, although am at your weekend antics or am I just hehe.

Well done on the fundraising prufrock. Thankless task half the time isn't it?

Hoorah, I spotted that FYIAD was Enid on other threads, I'm usually hopeless with namechanges.

• Sunscreen yy
• No booze
• 30 mins on ex bike, plus I walked up to school, and back! With cubs too, that's an hour! Am blardy shattered now though. That bank's a killer (and I'm quite concerned about how unfit I am - it's only 2 miles fgs).
• Lots of weak tea/water.
• Apply body cream lax
• Use hand cream lax
• Go to bed early, 11ish last night.
• Eat healthily, I fell at the first hurdle today when the Ben & Jerry's fell into my trolley
• Be happy. Yes, the boys drove me crackers over the weekend (but were superbly well behaved elsewhere which just irritated for some reason), they seem to have settled today and I've had a day pottering around.

I have NOT been doing well. The weekend was a blur of curry + Chablis on Friday night, followed by falling asleep on sofa at 9.pm
then bacon sandwiches on Saturday and pizza
and THEN roast pork, crackling, roast everything and wine on Sunday.

shite, truly shite. And had VILE PMT so when my mum said "why are you tired? Do you think there's something WRONG with you? There MUST be if you're so TIRED" I ranted back and said "Hmm, do you think it might be because I'm 41 with a very full time job, a long commute and two small children? Do YOU? DO YOU? There's NOTHING wrong with me because when I'm not WORKING I'm not tired, fancy that! And everyopne I KNOW Is knackered, we're all completely shagged out, exhausted. And you might have brought 3 of us up but you didn't ever work full time supporting your family while you did it, did you, so until you've walked a mile in my shoes I really don't think you can have ANY IDEA how I feel or why I'm TIRED. "

She said "there's no need for that kind of language"

I think what she really wanted to say was "you must surely have diabetes because you're so fat, bet that's it, get a test" (I have done, I don't have diabetes).

ANYWAY, feel like a balloon that's been popped as period started yesterday, thank the lord, and have vowed to get back on bootcamp wagon with renewed vigour this week.

Welcome aboard tharsheblows.

batters - you deserve the compliments, it's a great achievement even if you haven't finished yet.

We've been enjoying the fine weather, DCs been out getting muddy all morning, library and swimming this afternoon. I swam quite a few lengths but getting the DCs dried and dressed is rather hard work now. And I've just put my new chicken coop & run together which was also hard work. I hate flat packs. Work of the devil I tell you.

I've eaten cereal; cottage cheese, salad & crackers; chocolate biscuit; steak, dauphinoise, fried mushrooms and spinach; and now I'm eating a cornetto which makes typing difficult. I've had to keep going back and correcting or it would have been even worse than Cods efforts!

Lots of water, face & hands & body & feet all done. Had quite an early night and a reasonable amount of sleep.

Hi JJ! Nice to see you - I still remember you being SO lovely back when I was musica and sending a lovely email card when ds1 had to have his 3rd birthday party cancelled due to us ALL being ill!!! I was really touched! Well done on the 4 stone!!! Fantastic achievement!

www - lol re John Travolta - I am similarly distressed at having to watch Johnny Depp on constant loop in Pirates of the Caribbean, help ds1 with his Johnny Depp jigsaw etc, look for pictures of Johnny DEpp on the internet. It's a hard life sometimes...

Hello Thar - again. Congrats on the weight loss. I'm trying to shed half a stone but it's clinging to me like a limpet. Grr.

Sympathy with the snoring dh Enid. I am sorely tempted to smother mine sometimes. He's on nights tonight though so I have peace.

Bootcamp? Hmm - Must Do Better. I did run on Saturday and power walked yesterday, but rather scuppered it by eating the majority of a blackcurrant cheesecake.

btw haven't started new thread, shall we stay here again? Sorry, forgot last night.

Hello all

dh snored all night so ended up on sofa feeling very sorry for myself ("I'm 41 fgs, mother of three, working and having to sleep under a blanket on the sofa etc etc") so consequently feel BLOODY today. I am always in a terrible mood when poor dh returns from trips abroad. Sigh. Not helped by row with dd1s teachers this am ("Why didnt you mention before that she cannot sound out phonetically?" - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I have mentioned it every term for the last four bloody years rant rant)

Anyhoooooooooo

large glass warm water
cup tea
two slices wheat free toast with smear of peanut butter and banana
apple

I think I also have raging pmt so sympathies www as I feel like bursting into tears.

so not doing too well on the happy thoughts .

sympathies on the snoring enid - dh is a TERRIBLE snorer and it is the worst thing isn't it - I get so annoyed in the middle of the night!

Will your dd1 get a better teacher next year? This one sounds useless.

i have foam ones but they hurt my ears

I will try wax, thanks for the tip, you may have saved my marriage

oh I forgot all about these threads!

will read properly later but re snoring, grrr, yes, dh snores too, mainly when drinking so just weekends (or when football on )

pita I agree

throw dd2 and her night time wanderings into the mix and I am also on the sofa sometimes

I have PMT as well

I think we should all move into a man free commune (sons ok) and loll about reading books, baking cakes and putting the world to rights.

Will be back later to read thread.

xx

Can you also put them up dhs' nostrils batters END of snoring, forever bwahahahaha

and then boil him up for glue. Go, batters! or should that be "Neddy"...?

Actually I can think of someone much more suitable for rendering down, batters
Does she not realise that 9 out of 10 Mners would have completely severed all ties with her by now? You are a (svelte) saint!

We could hold a meet-up in that nightie...

lolol

ear plugs no good for me, all i can hear then is my breathing/heartbeat

but

dh has gone to see an expert (privately i'm afraid, not avail on nhs) who does orthodontic devices designed to stop snoring. happy to pass on his details if anyone (like us) has £700 to spare to save their marriage

tis me, btw, bundle

700 - cheaper than a new extension!

can you link?
