Of course I do - how else can one make tea and bacon sandwiches? Grin

CrispyTheCorpse · 22/10/2010 18:35

LOL @ bad influence Star! Now these are the occasions when i think you are definitely allowed to 'let go'. This is what gets me through being good when things are normally plodding along, that you can legitimately enjoy everything in the company of friends Smile

Very Envy of the impending Hotmama meet BTW

lushlady · 22/10/2010 19:44

Love the name of this topic - it's so true, you gotta love yourself. Problem for me is I'd love myself a whole lot more if I was 2 stone lighter!

CrispyTheCorpse · 22/10/2010 20:02

Oooh, hello LushLady. and you indeed are VERY lush Smile

CrispyTheCorpse · 22/10/2010 20:03

And a Laydeeeeeeee......

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 22/10/2010 20:08

Don't worry Crisp, I'll invite myself to yours next time Grin

CrispyTheCorpse · 22/10/2010 20:09

Always welcome Star, and i mean that Smile

Bloodberrybatbait · 22/10/2010 20:14

I am back laydeeees - the weight loss has stopped (I was told to keep eating as much as I craved until I was maintaining weight rather than losing!) Now I am going to cut the food drastically and start walking again and see what happens with my next set of bloods. I am now offically the lightest I have been since before DD1.

CrispyTheCorpse · 22/10/2010 20:18

Hurrah Berry Smile. Is everything being 'managed' now medically wise?

Does this mean no more trips to Wagamama's? Sad

Bloodberrybatbait · 22/10/2010 20:54

Yes all medically managed for now - will start reducing meds in 3weeks and see how it goes before speaking to surgeons. Yes wagamamas is still allowed [hshock] that you even suggested it. DH needs to go to Bath tomorrow so I may have to have little blow out before monday.

FjorgynAndHotWater · 22/10/2010 21:00

I want to come back to yours too crispy and I promise to raid the local farm shop next time for pork pie healthy Yorkshire treats Grin

I have bought reduced fat soured cream for tomorrow's tea and lots of crisps and am burning mucho calories in excitement!

Hoping you are sorted now bbbb and can start your losing journey again Smile

Wotcha lushlady, we really are all Hot Hot Hot on here Grin

Only +2 this morning so not too bad at all, and we did walk off some of the excesses yesterday, trying to push DS up a bumpy field certainly gave my arms a bit of a workout Grin Just got to try and keep away from the wine, I seem to equate being off work with drinking every night Blush

CrispyTheCorpse · 25/10/2010 19:54

Hiya Hots, you are more than welcome back here too, anytime. Just shout Smile

Well done on limited gain - no weigh for me today as too scared, but i have run 5k, 10 mins poweplate and 100 sit ups. Will do school walk tomorrow but not sure for the rest of the week as we are away from Weds

FjorgynAndHotWater · 25/10/2010 21:14

Yay! Thanks Smile
Unfortunately today has gone downhill rather badly, a lovely walk was followed by a cafe trip so lunch was some chocolate brownie Blush and there has been some custard doughnut plus sausage and chips for tea... oh dear but tomorrow is another day and we are hopefully going swimming in the morning. This won't involve much more than splashing around but might remind me that swimming is good Hmm

Hope you have a lovely time away crispy, you social butterfly Grin

PMSL Hots. I am not sure school holidays are your friend Grin. However that means you have a good 7 weeks to come Smile

No school run this morning as 'd'oh', no feckin school this week . Went to gym instead and did 5k run/hill climb, 10 mins powerplate. Went to Wagamama's for lunch but then spent an hour walking round the shops and back up the hill, so another couple of miles i reckon.
I need to pack to go to my sister's in the morning but will try to fit in a cheeky shred in the morning as i have realised, sadly, that there is no replacement for Jillian when trying to get your arms toned

CrispyTheCorpse · 27/10/2010 09:50

Arse. 2lbs back on again . Never mind, will work extra hard next week to yo yo it back off again Grin

May not see you till Sat, hence today's weigh Smile

CrispyTheCorpse · 27/10/2010 09:50

Oh, and predictably no shred this morning Blush

enyahadenough · 28/10/2010 08:12

morning ladies,

i have not exercised in days Blush.. not sure if any will occur before weigh in today and haven't weighed so i guess tom will be interesting Hmm

FjorgynAndHotWater · 29/10/2010 09:10

Crikey, one half term holiday and we fall to pieces Blush but loti you are excused this week. Hope it all went OK Sad

I am back up 2 again but 1. this is a miracle considering the eating/drinking/non-exercising going on and 2. I just got my period so am way bloated so maybe even some of the two is temporary?????

We did have a lovely walk round a lake and into some woods yesterday, with my sis who has never had a push chair and two friends whose DC have been without theirs for more than a year so went blithely off the path into the undergrowth so got another upper-arm workout manhandling the pushchair between trees and over branches...

enyahadenough · 29/10/2010 11:35

i have managed to stay the same as last week which is a miracle considering how much wine i have drunk this week Blush and no exercise...

will get back on the wagon monday promise Smile

CrispyTheCorpse · 30/10/2010 08:38

Walked about 4 miles on Thurs at Kew and ran 3.5k and powerplate yesterday. So, 4 exersazz completed but wine and chinese have also featured and will have outweighed the exercise calories.

I will get on Enya's wagon on monday too....

CrispyTheCorpse · 30/10/2010 18:22

Walked 3 miles. Went out for lunch

enyahadenough · 31/10/2010 08:44

sounds like you are doing well crispy.. i am doig absolutely nothing Blush.. in my defence i have had this cold for nearly two weeks now and still making me feel rubbish.. doesn't excuse the treats tho Blush..

no wine last night tho woo hoo Smile

alittlebitshy · 31/10/2010 21:13

eek how carp am i not noticing the thread had moved over?

well done ladies on all the excersazz.

crispy i was at Kew on Friday Grin. I feel i got a workout in carrying ds up and down most of the 118 steps on the treetopwalk way!

Not weighed this week (was too busy meeting Thomas the tank engine and friends) but next week i hope to be down, even a little bit on last week's weight. I have to be as else i will be almost back up to where i started in January. arse.

alittlebitshy · 31/10/2010 21:20
