The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part II - Revenge of the Diet Dodgers

[grinningbee]

Hi all!

Hope the title is ok - if not, someone else can do another one

thanks kid, think I have got over it today, but it will drag on and on I think, so you haven't escaped my moaning yet. I am supportive of his decision though, so I'm not with him (for once), it's just a shame it wasn't better planned.

hi john, don't think we've "met", well done on relosing your gain in one go

Morning all

So, on the morning that both dc are still asleep, dh woke me at 6.20 to say he was going to work, and please could I flush the loo before using as he had had a crap at 4am... but didn't flush it in case he woke anyone

I can hear dd singing to herself now

Moan away Ria sounds like things are a little "interesting". How did his interview go?

Dh wants to go out for a Chinese tonight. I don't. I don't think he grasps that the dc are tired by that time of day. Plus I want to be good! Still. We'll see.

Food for the day:

Weetabix and a nectarine
Cheese triangles on toast, apple and a yogurt
Chinese if dh gets his way - Leftover Shepherd's Lentil Pie if not

Haha that's quite funny bee although if I were you I'd be bloody.
Better night here too, thank goodness. Hopefully both DD and I will be on better form today. Today I'm going to walk 2 miles to gymbore and back. Got to get DD some prunes as she's constipated

Food:
B: weetabix
L: dunno, we'll be out, hopefully a JP or salad
D: turkey mince chilli and salad.

Oh and ria hope all is ok at home.
bee maybe get a takeaway - happy medium. My Chinese does a prawn stirfry thing so not too bad syn wise.

Chicken chowmein is okay on EE day.
Lol at waking you up to flush the toilet, hilarious but annoying to be woken that early.

I wake up every morning when dh gets up which is usually around 5:45 but I have no trouble going back to sleep.

I am aching this morning from shred but no pain no gain. I deserve to be in pain after eating a curly wurly and a cornetto yesterday

I think I'll get up now, have breakfast and then do shred. I'm off to the hairdressers today which will be nice. Last time I went was about 3 months ago and my fringe is getting far too long!

He even left a note on the loo seat saying "please flush me before opening or using"

Let's just say I had to clean the seat before I could sit down, and it is now being bleached to within an inch of its life

Can I ask a quick question please? Does everyone go through a patch in their marriage/partnership where they aren't quite sure anymore? You know what I'm trying to say. I'm sure it'll get there again. Maybe I should name change and get it all off my chest!

Anyway. Back to nice stuff. Ds sat himself up for the first time yesterday. Bless!

Hmmm that's a good question bee. certainly we have tough periods and sometimes I wonder is this my life and have I made the right choices. But I think it's baby related more than towards dh. He irritates the hell out of me but I wouldn't be able to be without him.

Feel free to vent here.....

Was thinking about doing some before and after pics, with every 1/2 stone lost. What do you reckon?

kid enjoy shred, I'm so impressed! And very jealous of hairdressers. I look like a bog brush at the mo, maybe the one bee is currently using

You have poo in your hair Cheese?

Thank you. I don't have anyone to talk to in real life. There's just been a couple of things recently - the car accident, borrowing money from me and saying when I'll get it back - then saying he didn't say that and changing when it'll be everyday so far this week... and a whole host of other stuff. If I posted in relationships they'd say to leave him. Ha ha. Plus of course, I have no wish to clean the pooey imprint of an arse crack off the back of the toilet seat everyday.

Pics are a fab idea. I got dh to take one when I started, another a month after, and due another one now really.

Right. Going to finish my cuppa, get ready and take the kids out. Need bigger vests for ds as his are giving him wedgies now, and might brave and take dd to join the library

Library is a fab idea, she will love it! at DS getting a wedgie! Gosh, sounds tough with DH. Maybe you need to have a long honest chat. My Dh isn't working till 3 so has gone to the gym while I rush around the house frantically tidying before the cleaner comes .

Is there a way we can post them on our profiles without the world seeing as motivation for each other, or is that daft?

Still here. Dh has decided he will come home around 1, so I didn't have time to go out and get the jobs done as well. Hopefully we will get out later. Ds has gone to sleep now so at least I can clean a bit. Dd likes to help

Just had a look. We can put pics on our profiles, and then choose who can see them by adding people to "mumsnet mates". I'm game if anyone else is. Might scare you though! Need to work out how to upload them.

I'm happy to add a photo I took of myself this morning but not for any tom, dick or harry to view!
There is a private sw group on FB that you can only view if you are a member, thats where I posted my pic to.
I'll try and save it to my comp and upload it here shortly.

Back from the hairdressers and am about to do day 2 of shred now. I did the warm up earlier but then my sis called asking me to collect her son and drop him at the station. I didn't mind as he also took DC so its just me and the doggy here today. I'm gutted that I'm about to get my new haircut all sweaty but I guess getting slim is more important at the mo!

Here goes with the pic, let me know if you can view it but give me a while to figure it out first lol

Photo added, be kind

day 2 of shred completed and its hard, possibly even harder than my cardio combat at the gym!
It will be fine though as long as it works quickly, just 9 days till I jet off but I've got so much to do before I go. Poor DH is working all weekend and will have 1 day off between now and us going away so he won't be able to do anything here to help. I usually leave everything until the day before we leave, I don't want to do that this year though.

On I phone, will try and work out how to do it laters. What's this Facebook page kid?

I've added a couple of pics to my profile and added kid and bee. If anyone else wants to see lardy me let me know! I don't have nay long body shots so will get DH to take one soon.

Hello. Sorry to have been awol on the DoD ? my computer has a funny internet signal as we are out in the sticks and I haven?t been able to get online all week. I maintained for my SW class on Monday night and had lost two pounds on my scales by Tuesday morning. Grrrr! Got a holiday day from SW next week so will have to wait ages for my next official weigh in.

Sorry to hear that I is poorly Cheese. It must be reassuring though to be a doctor and know what is wrong with her. I always get that cold, panicky feeling whenever T looks a bit peaky ? and its usually nothing at all and I feel like a complete div afterwards!

You all sound very organised with your weekly meal planning. We are moving in two weeks and I think when we get settled in the new place I will do a big internet shop and work my meals out much more carefully than I have been doing. It so easy to say ?Oh sod it, theres no food in, lets have 900 slices of cheese on toast?.

Boo on the periods Slinky. I got 6 months of respite after DD was born and then they hit me with a vengeance.

Well done on starting the Shred Kid - its a killer, but well worth it. (Says she who can?t be bothered to restart it and constantly makes excuses about it!) I can?t see your photo btw

And Bee in answer to your question. Yes. Yes. Yes.

HI pixie good to see you! She is a bit better now, thanks. Back to her usual chirpy smiley gorgeous self. I am saying that as she has gone down with only 15min of screaming...a new record! It is reassuring but then again, I always imagine the worst...
Where are you moving to? Internet shopping is my fav thing, except I like picking the nicest fruit etc which you clearly cannot do online!

Right, I need to prepare and cook dinner. Maybe I am not losing weight as I eat dinner about 9pm? It is a bit late, but when I am on my own, by the time I have settled DD it is getting late in the evening. Maybe I should just have wine tonight

pixie I added you so you should be able to see my pic now.
cheese I can only see one photo on your profile of a very beautiful baby (I assume it isn't you though!)

Mhmmm. Humph. Let me retry!

I have uploaded the pics and marked them as private. THen I have made you my mate. Is there anything else I need to do?

Almost there cheese, where you had the option to mark the photo as 'private', you need to change that option to 'MN mates' (or something like that)

Thanks kid its done!

Oh, and for those who are having a shite day, this will cheer you up funny thread

Well done cheese, all done. You look lovely and very pretty.
You need to get a whole body pic done so you can compare the difference as you lose weight/tone up.

Thank you so much for that link, that has really made me laugh.

Hahaha thanks kid you are now my friend for life! Am hunting some down now...there must be a recent one somewhere. Failing that I'll get Dh to take one beofre my pilates tomorrow. Am jealous of how toned you are...all the exericse is paying off!

I did take a side shot too (well DD did) but I didn't like that one! I'll be brave and add it anyway.
I also need to add a photo of me that was taken more than 5 minutes after I crawled out of bed!
I'll be back
