Maybe there is hope for me having a small loss as I've had more than one day on plan (not much more I should add)

I say slowly and quietly take the remote control and then wait to see if he wakes up. After a couple of minutes, turn the volume down a bit and then change channels. I'm an expert at switching channels once DH has fallen asleep Grin

Don't worry about when your DC bring home complicated HW, as long as you have MN you will be fine!

Shopping ordered and I have an idea of which dinners I'll be making. I just need to write out a meal plan so I know which meals I'm making on which days. Shame the shopping isn't coming until Wednesday night.

Cheeseandbiscuits · 26/09/2011 21:56

No loss for me. I've just finished off the Ben and Jerrys!

GandTiceandaslice · 26/09/2011 21:57

So had weigh in today. Wanted a 2lb loss. Half a shitting pound. I had a big wee & a poo before weigh in so I suspect I'd not really lost anything.

STILL, it is 3.5lbs in 2 weeks.

I need to do more exercise. I find it hard to fit in with a toddler though. I can imagine if I put the 30 day shred dvd on, he will want to join in & get in my way. Also he no longer sleeps in the day. I guess I need to get walking!

Sorry, I've not read back. Am rude cow. Blush

GandTiceandaslice · 26/09/2011 21:57

Oh god, maths. Am not reading back. Wink

kid · 26/09/2011 21:58

naughty naughty!

grinningbee · 26/09/2011 22:01

I shall carry out the dastardly remote control deed shortly Wink

Done my meal plan for the coming week, and am shopping for it tomorrow. We'll be having an SW fryup, Shepherd's Lentil Pie, homemade pork meatballs in spicy sauce and sweet chilli chicken. I'm also buying in a bit extra to make and put in the freezer.

Remote now pinched, and I have Family Guy on. Much better!

Cheese you naughty thing Wink, still it needed finishing Grin

G&T as we so love to say, a loss is a loss is a loss. It'll come.

GandTiceandaslice · 26/09/2011 22:06

Shepards lentil pie sounds lovely grinningbee Do you have a recipe?

grinningbee · 26/09/2011 22:11

Indeed I do - let me just find you the link to the recipe thread, and if you scroll down you'll find it. It's nice Smile

grinningbee · 26/09/2011 22:12

Here you are - recipe thread link

GandTiceandaslice · 26/09/2011 22:18

thanks grinningbee and what a fabulous thread.

I shall omit the utterly vile celery though. Wink

grinningbee · 26/09/2011 22:23

Glad you like it Smile Just a word of caution... do not decide to throw in a handful of red dried lentils as well. Lentil overload. Nuff said.

Actually, I might do that to speed up the lard lossage this week GrinGrin

OP posts:
Cheeseandbiscuits · 26/09/2011 22:23

Right. That. Is. It.

No more of this I'm getting over pneumonia BS. Back on it tomorrow, full pelt.

gandt down is down is down!

Cheeseandbiscuits · 26/09/2011 22:24

Haha poor bee and the lentil disaster episode. Sad

GandTiceandaslice · 26/09/2011 22:39

ha ha grinningbee!

Since starting SW again, I have had errm, windy problems. I also had to buy some tablets to aid the wind. Lovely. Hmm

And on that TMI note, I am off to bed.

Night all x

ameRIAcansmooth · 26/09/2011 22:41

OK. maths still clear as mud even with answersBlush

think I may indeed be doomed tomorrow. I will try to remember to WI, but have a feeling I will be up at stupid o'clock battling with the complexities of photosynthesis. Must remember to get dressed, take children to school, go to work....

Cheeseandbiscuits · 26/09/2011 22:42

Ooh I can do science ria! More than happy to help!

kid · 26/09/2011 23:38

I feel sick and my belly feels weird. I think I ate too much tonight so it serves me right for being such a greedy pig!

I've written out my meal plan for the next week so hopefully I'll be back on track now.

I just need to hope all my shopping arrives on Wednesday as I don't want bits and pieces of my recipes missing.

Dd had some stupid science hw yesterday about ermines, environmental factors, ermines changes and the result in their population.
She then had to do the same for cacti and fairy shrimps.
She gets so much hw and it's getting harder for me Grin

grinningbee · 27/09/2011 04:14

Kid that hw sounds weird - and how is it going to help in the real world Confused?

Ria you don't have to weigh in today - Dod is Wednesday. It's just me being odd and weighing in on a Tuesday.

Ds been up since 3. I am sincerely hoping that this isn't it for the day... it's too flaming early!

OP posts:
grinningbee · 27/09/2011 05:45

Still up. Ugh. You watch, he'll drop off as dd wakes!

OP posts:
kid · 27/09/2011 06:18

I don't miss getting up in the night with dc. Mind you, they were pretty good sleepers so I didn't spend much time up with them. Dd used to be a pain to fall asleep but was fine during the night.
Hope you get some rest today bee

grinningbee · 27/09/2011 06:38

Thanks Kid I've given up. Dh and dd still asleep, but there's no way I'll get any rest now before bed (hah!) tonight.

Big food shop to do today. I'm planning on getting it done early as ds is bound to want a sleep sooner or later... at this rate I'll need a trolley for the under eye baggage!

Food for the day:

Weetabix and a nectarine
Beans on toast, clementines and a yogurt
Leftover quorn chilli and rice

OP posts:
Sofabitch · 27/09/2011 07:26

Right. I've lost 12 1/2 lbs so does anyone know why on my slimmer of the month certificate it says 9 1/2 ?

Wow looks like you all had bad nights. I'm trying to drag my arse out of bed. Dh and the children are downstairs making packed lunches. So I feel bad. But not bad enough to actually get up Grin. Today I have
B- frozen mixed berries and yoghurt
L- egg salad
D- jacket potato and beans
S - yoghurts fruits and I have a 6syns curly wurrly if I need it Smile

Cheeseandbiscuits · 27/09/2011 07:50

I'd take it back sofa, bastards! Grin

It's getting hot in here....! Planning on spending the day in the sunshine.
Food is
B:fruit and ffyog
L: carrot soup and hobbit toast
D: steak, new pots and salad

grinningbee · 27/09/2011 07:59

Take it back next week Sofa and demand another one Grin

Thanks for the coffee Cheese. Ds, the little love, fell asleep half an hour ago Envy. Dh overslept, and has got up and gone. Dd wide awake and currently watching Spongebob.

I've weighed myself. Big gain (no surprise). I feel really hacked off with myself, but it's only me to blame.

Spending the day in the sunshine sounds lovely. I'm hoping to get out there for a little bit myself later, providing small people co-operate!
