Just hoping the baby doesnt get it.

cripes it's a bit lurgified in here. Cheese I hope you get better soon It's a pain being in hospital but the best place to be (((hugs)))
Wow there are so many newbies welcome to you all.

I try to meal plan but only a couple of days in advance, but it generally goes wrong as plans change. In the week I tend to feed the DCs earlier than DH and I eat and both my boys are really skinny and still pretty young (8 & 2) so I think they still need full fat stuff. But you can do things like normal and low fat mash by splitting the potatoes after you have mash then and mix butter etc in on portion and low fat yog in the other 1/2 .

Meals today
B Melon, pear and FF Activia vanill yog
L left over chicken curry and baked potato
D away with work we are going to La Tasca and there will be drinking!, so I will aim is damage limitation by eating as little as possible and keep as sober as possible
snack - ryvitas and cheese triangles HEa 7 HEb, fruit

I've come to the conclusion that it must be lurgy season. Get well soon Ledkr.

I tend to plan the whole week. As the dc are 2 and 9 months I feed them before dh and I, and we eat fairly late after they have gone to bed. I am pretty good at sticking to the meal plan, but dh threw a spanner in the works this week buy bringing home a huge lump of beef, and is insisting on a roast dinner tonight.

Dh just phoned me to say that the wind blew a car door that he was working on shut... only his little finger was still in it, and the door properly closed He had to be released, and the guy that did it took one look and threw up! Dh is now at a walk in centre having it looked at. The skin hasn't broken, but I dare say that the contents did.

Off to make a curry shortly, ready to go in the freezer so I have something healthy to come back to after our break.

Weigh in done - I am a happy bunny

Oooh, oooh, did you get that last 1.5lbs off then bee?! In the 3st+ Losers Group now?! Damnit, I guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow night!

You off somewhere nice? Don't usually do this but in case anyone wants to know today's menu is:

B: Weetabix
L: jacket potato and beans
D: Stir-fry (going to attempt my own sauce)
Snacks: Apple, yogurt, snack-a-jacks

bleugh @ DHs finger Bee I have a real squemishness (or however you spell it!) about mangled nails.

I am really hungry, carrot sticks and grapes are not really hitting the post today. I'm going to crack open the ryvitas and cheese triangles

Whoops I just feel off the wagon big style At lunch but I'm getting straight back on it. And if I keep my syns to 5 a day for the rest of the week I might just be ok.

Hedge I'll be sure to have a good look and let you know what the finger looks like He did say they had to put it back in for him as it was dislocated. Yuck. He used to be a bouncer, so is used to broken fingers and such.

Slinky I had a loss I am so rubbish at keeping quiet.

Sofabitch Was whatever it was yummy?

I am going to Caister next week for a few days in a caravan with the dc, dh and MIL. Tbh, I'd rather spend it eating scanbran cake. MIL broke her pelvis in January falling off the loft ladder (wouldn't wait for dh to go round) and I'm not sure how much getting about we'll be able to do.

both dc are grizzling. I could murder some dairy milk

I've been really good today (for a change) but could def join you with the Dairy Milk...good job it's DoD tomorrow so I'm gonna resist! Anything to keep the scales happy.

I suppose if you're not really looking forward to going away, you can only (hopefully) be pleasantly surprised?

Just found it really hard to resist flapjack that the dses are eating,had a mullerlight instead but it's not the same!

Mmmmmm flapjack

I'm hoping so Slinky. We've been away with her 4 times in the last couple of years. I remember when dd was tiny and co-sleeping with me, she stood at the bottom of our bed calling dd's name - at 6 in the morning!! And sadly we will be sleeping in the lounge bit this time, so she'll be able to do the same this time too...

Thankfully the laptop is coming, so I shall be able to amuse you all and keep some semblance of sanity

Hi everyone, I've been missing in action grouting the downstairs loo, which I am hoping has the same effect as Shred
cheese you poor, poor thing, hope you get better quickly
pushka I am ancient, but in my defence I was veh young and had a thing for Bowie which manifested itself in my prancing around in my mum's red quilted dressing gown with a blue circle drawn on my head using my older Dsis's miners eyeshadow The 2nd record I bought was by Nazareth, during my infant greebo phase.
Well done sofa I'm
I'm off to google SW onion bhajis

Cheese, you poor thing. Wishing you a very quick recovery.

I'll have to read thread properly later as i' on my phone at the moment.
I have actually done a whole week 100% on plan (actually today is day but tomorrow is first weigh in)
Dh even helped with dinner tonight which is macaroni cheese, it smells lovely and i'm looking forward to eating it.

I skipped gum tonight as I don't have the energy. I'm going to meal plan instead. I hope to get rid of this rotten sore throat, I've had it for 2 weeks now and it comes and goes.

Good luck for DoD. I had better have lost loads of weight or I'm going to sulk big time!
Dh told me tonight I need to buy new trousers. I thought perhaps the ones I was wearing had split or something but he said it's because they are too baggy and it looks like I have no bum

That's always a good result - lack of bum and a DH who encourages you to buy new clothes!
Hope you get better quickly, Cheese - you must have been feeling dreadful.

Sorry to be thick, but how does the DoD work? Is it today's weight that counts or tomorrow's? Hope it's tomorrows a I've had too many reasons to drink wine since Friday!

I am a fecking pantsy silly bitch wish I could reach to kick my own arse.

What's wrong Ria?

cheese, sending you masses of get well vibes. Take care and hope you feel better very soon.

C'mon weightloss buddy - tell auntie bee what's up? Can I do anything?

Dh is snoring on the sofa again. He actually fell asleep before I'd even served dinner . Woke up to eat it, now asleep again. Getting a little hacked off...

sorry, I am with myself.

Been a long day as had DS2 at ENT clinic today - nothing serious, but I was awake from 5am having a panic attack about it, then we had an hours wait despite having an appointment just after 9am (so DS3 had to be taken to school by my Dad). I got so tense I felt pants, then had to go to work (after a staff meeting yesterday which has pissed off all the staff in a big way, so work was crap also due to the atmosphere). Had to sleep this afternoon. Then I dragged myself to the gym class despite the headache (trying to be positive about exercise endorphins), but I bottled out in the car park, due to my crappy self-esteem, and the presence of an ex-friend that I just couldn't face in a gym situation. Why am I so rubbish? Why can't I just breeze through life not caring who I come up against?

on the plus-side, had a sneaky WI tonight and DoD is looking good for me

I daren't tell DH that he babysat for an hour while I actually went to my mums instead! He has done a fair bit of nothing today too. Men huh?

Sounds very stressful. Hope ds is ok. You are allowed a break you know. It won't be any consolation, but I find myself caring what other people think too. I stopped going to our local surestart playgroup thing even though dd loved it. One of the mums had a pop at me on a day when I was feeling rather emotional, and I bloody well cried in front of them all. Can't face going back now, and it is only round the corner.

I wish I knew what the answer was.

Good news on the DoD front. Just pm me the details in the morning for the list

And men... yes. I'm wondering if it's too late to get a refund.

I know that feeling too well bee. I left a playgroup in tears with DS1 after someone turned on me (pre-school DS1 accidentally pushed her DS while they were playing, and that made it my fault that they never went to any other groups etc). I burst into tears and left, and carried DS1 all the way home (nearly killed me as he was pretty porky). Don't think he ever understood what he did "wrong" (nothing IMO). now 12 years on and I can't look the woman in the eye. Spoilt it for DS2 and DS3 too as I hardly took them anywhere.

Try not to be so hard on yourself Ria, at least you got as far as the carpark of the gym, I didn't even make it out of the house!
Good on you for using the gym time for yourself, no need to tell him where you actually were. Did you have to run round the block a few times to look sweaty on your return?

I didn't get out today either, thanks to the lurgified dc.

Going to have to tomorrow though. Taking dh to work, then got to do the weekly shop. That could be a big bundle of fun.

S'pose I ought to think about turning in. Snoring man has just woken up. Hurrah.

Catch you in the morning.

Stand back everyone, the cheese is off!!! Ok Mouldy Cheese, we are all wishing you well and hope to see your ass in class soon!

Whatswrong, weigh yourself in the morning and message slinkyb (poor Cheese usually does it but she's all manky) with whatever info you want to share with us and get ready for a massufis collective weight loss, what with all this illness the weekly average has to be out of the roof!!!

Focus on your positives ria,forget the negatives, they have come and gone and you cant change them...

Ahem,....no sins yet today team. Pushka about to take swot of the day award,....but, no, there are definitely 2 party rings going begging in the cookie jar.
