[RatherBeOnThePiste]

And off we go again!

Piste passes round celebratory glasses of wine for all Wannabe Willowy Waifs.

Let's hope this new thread finds us in good health, good spirits and reducing in stature as we Wait for Warmer Weather!!

Has everybody got one?

Cheers!!

I have a phone! Piste/Blondes text me (same number) with your name in the text so I can be in the land of living phones again

will send it to you x

Having scrambled eggs, but may fall asleep whilst eating them because they are so boring.

Lordy - it's only 12.30 and have already had lunch - this will be a long day!

So far....
Two yogs
Ham and salad
Several coffees

Am running later, though feel I have 0 energy, today may be the day I hit the gutter!

feeling a bit down so reposted the silverback boys video on fb - always cracks me up

no lunch for me but did have cake at coffee am

Trying to be good but feeling a bit rubbish. Resisted the cakes I made for toddlers though. Had scrambled eggs for lunch & fruit & a yoghurt for brekkie.

Will catch up soon, just need to go & crawl back under my duvet with DD!

Bebe - you're not still doing low carb though are you?

Smokin - how was your low carb day?

My meals are spot on. Chicken salad for lunch, lamb and veg for dinner.

but my snacking today was terrible. work had a shared table and I had apple and sultana cake, half a scone and a handful of chocolates. Not as bad as pre-diet though

Will get ontop of the snacking!!!

yours?

Well yes, same old, same old really thanks Smoky,

Had 2 yogs, ham and salad (yawn) and going to have either carrot and ginger soup or scrambled egg. No fruit as yet today, but was working from home this pm so had about 45 coffees. It is just so boring.

I'm not going to lose as much this week, although I have done exactly the same, and I'm getting that burning feeling, and really shaky in the evenings still. I had a sneaky look today, and I reckon it will be - 3 on Friday.

It's still not real weight loss, because its forcing your body to do something, and how do you reintroduce carbs and not just pile it back on?! But it is doing what I wanted, a bit of a kick start. I've just had a coffee with one of my greatest mates, and normally we share a cake or something, and of course I didn't want any of it today, and she told me ( as old mates can do so well) I was being bloody stupid doing this.

See, I dont think we will pile it back on as such as we are still consuming some carbs in the fruit and veg. I'm just avoiding bread, rice, potatoes, crisps and pasta tbh - which how I feel now I think will actually be a long term thing. I feel better in myself, my stomach is better, I'm not bloated, my IBS has gone. By having the odd piece of chocolate I have also avoided the sugar crashes etc that I got before.

I think I will be a -2 or -3. My weigh in is Saturday btw. It works better for me or I pig out Friday night.

I think of it as a Slimming World idea - basically the old fashioned RED days where you could eat meat but no pasta etc?

What about the alcohol Smokin?! You avoiding that too? I dreamt the other night about cans of lager

Um, well I didnt avoid it Saturday night

But I've not drunk any since. I dont tend to drink indoors anymore.

I don't, but Ted loves red wine, so there's always some on the go.

I know this isn't carby, but I don't buy diet coke any more and I feel better for that. I used to drink gallons of the stuff. I still love it, but we don't have it at home anymore. I feel better for not drinking it so much for sure.

I limit myself to 1 can a day, mostly at work. Though today I did have a small bottle too through a meeting.

Am eating the boys Haribo. This is not good.

Step away from their Haribo! We have emergency haribo at school for those times when you need them, and when I went for some the other day - they had all gone. Shrieks - about 60 mini bloody bags!!

Bet it was you Smokin..

I do have a slight addiction to haribo

all gone now though. and so am I with a cuppa and my mobile and a dvd. yes, my mobile. that i have worked out how to get on the internet with. yeay.

no apprentice tonight for me, too tired on a wednesday after 3 days of working. god forbid if I ever have to go full time again, I'd never make it!!!

You are quite technically brilliant Smokin!

I can't do tv on a Wednesday night either because it's the night where I drive round and round ferrying my DC to things. This starts at 7 finishes at 10pm. In that I get to be home for about 30 mins. I am now waiting for DD to finish at 9.15.

When DH is home we share this, i.e. It's his turn!! He is in Paris today hence I'm doing.

But I just got petrol and a diet coke!!! Yaaaayyy

I am just wondering....... If I do pilates everyday, how long will it take me to get a rear end like Pippa Middleton? Apparently that's what i need to do. Do you think it's possible before the summer holidays?

Smokin I am impressed you've worked out your new mobile! I've only got a simple one and had trouble.

Pisty in some ways it sounds harder work when dc get older with all the ferrying around. So you'd like a rear like Pippa? I'd like a midriff like Pippa.

Bebe how are things with you today?

Blondes I got the email with the Silverback boys, v funny!

WELL - I am sneaking on here feeling sheepish. After the weekend of Eat As Much As you Like curry I went silly on Tuesday and had jam tarts and mini egg cakes alright yesterday though. I am delaying wi this week to Monday so that I can have 4 clear days of behaving myself and don't stuff my face at the weekend

I don't do very much on facebook but I decided to search for a friend I've not seen for 11 years - and there she was! We're meeting up soon, and amazingly (she was always a prolific writer!) she's having her first novel published on 28 July.

This is the upside of being on fb!

Feeling pretty rubbish, but got stuff to do!! DD is having her first proper haircut today! All very exciting, just hope she behaves herself!

Piste - How many years has PM been doing Pilates?

Trimmer - v cool about your friend. FB is fab for keeping in touch with friends from the past! It's how I keep in touch with school friends & we have organised 2 reunions now through fb!

Trying to be good today & not wallowing & therefore stuffing my face!

B - OJ & yoghurt
L - prob crackers & crunchy pb & fruit
D - spicy bean soup & sf jelly.

Am off to the circus tonight with the kids - taking them to Mcds for tea, so will try and be good!!

am already eating my lunch I am so hungry! sweet chilli chicken stirfry.

Have a salad!! Or one of the deli things, no fries!!! (Says she who had a quarter pounder with cheese & fries on Saturday!!)

Benn & taken DD to the hairdressers for the first time, she was ever so good. Just a trim for now so her hair can thicken up. We decided she would look a bit silly with a fringe!! :o
