Good idea sylvev! I am trying to do my cross stitch in the evening so I dont succumb to temptation (of the chocolate/alcohol type!)

tangerinecath · 04/01/2006 08:54

UCM, I've just sent you an email again, hope I'm not too late for this week's chart

pindy · 04/01/2006 08:58

UCM - got the emails thx. Now off to get 2 litres of water and several trips to the loo (that's the excercise bit!)

Be good everyone

Furball · 04/01/2006 09:05

I got mine thanx UCM

busywizzy · 04/01/2006 09:21

Oh am so proud of myself. Came down with DS this morning to the smell of freshly baked bread in my new breadmaking machine. Did cereal for everyone, which I had and then hot buttered bread for DH, DD and DS and I didn't have any !!!!! Wow am so impressed at my willpower

DH is taking us out for lunch today as he is back to work tomorrow so let's see how long my feeling of smugness lasts!!

MrsBoo · 04/01/2006 09:22

UCM
I got my chart, thanks (have now got my official weight, as per the scales this morning OMG!!!
Will update it next week.

lilibet · 04/01/2006 09:46

I've e mailed you, but I am only going to weigh once a montha s I can get a bit scales obsessed, so am giving dh the battery!

I can only have 1838 calories a day - that really isn't many to cut down from

Crystaltips · 04/01/2006 09:59

Got your chart .. thanks ( official weight coming tomorrow ....)

myturn · 04/01/2006 10:00

UCM, I mailed you too but am not on the chart???

myturn · 04/01/2006 10:01

Meant to say have not HAD the chart and am not on your list....

niccick · 04/01/2006 10:09

Well its the end of the day for me. I have had a pretty good day. DS and I had a play date with my cousin and her two we had a great time so my excercise today way running around a my cousins back yard and playing in the sand pit, I love being on holidays, I cannot believe that I have to go back to work on monday

Food wise i have been pretty healthy breakfast was a couple of slices of toast and a chai tea with some skinny milk, lunch was salad with some bbq chicken, the best thing about lunch was that i didn't have to do anything, my cousin did it all. But i did fall down with the home made lemon slice, I have such a sweet tooth!! For aftnoon tea more lemon slice with a cup of tea with no sugar. For dinner we had sushi my favorite take out. I had hardly any water today I am even to embarrased to say how little i drank, but I promise to do better tomorrow.

myturn · 04/01/2006 10:19

Sounds like you had a really good day niccick! I find drinking water hard - have to make myself do it.

I have been trying to motivate myself to go out jogging (am sitting in my tracksuit) but it is white with frost outside and very icy....

UCM, have cat'd you.

unicorn · 04/01/2006 10:34

got the chart...
nothing like being named and shamed into action is there?!

I think I have been in denial about my weight for ages... no more!!!!

Still drinking lots of water, haven't made any major changes to diet yet, and haven't started exercising, but it will happen, one step at a time!

niccick · 04/01/2006 10:35

I can't seem to find the Yahoo Lardyclub has anyone found it?

Furball · 04/01/2006 10:42

There isn't one AFAIK, UCM has just designed her own and kindly emailed it to everyone with all their details on.

chickenrice · 04/01/2006 11:17

UCM, Outlook express blocks out attachments so I have not received your weight chart. Could you please resend your email with the weight chart in the body of the email? Thanks. Am I destined not to lose this coupld of stone? Can't find the Lardy Club on Yahoo.

Completed first day with difficulty. Bit irritable as I was so hungry. Managed to say no to chocolate. Increased my fruit and veg intake which was not difficult as I barely eat much of either. Shall start exercising tomorrow.

Have had fruit and fibre with semi-skimmed milk and a glass of orange juice for breakfast this morning.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 04/01/2006 11:20

One of my main problems is that I eat late at night so last night when i got nibbly i did some house work - it worked! I didnt eat anything wooohoooo

Am going to get som,e carrot sticks or something to snack on. I am a big snacker

MrsSpoon · 04/01/2006 11:20

UCM, looks like you haven't received my mail. I will try again.

melrose · 04/01/2006 11:21

So far today:
1 egg scrambled on toast
Tea

Tea
banana
v small biscuit (v bad)

Going to have homemade soup for lunch and make some more tonight so I do not do that rummaging in the fridge thing at lunchtime. I work from home and find that v hard

Any good recipes for parsnip soup?? (Have loads left from Xmas)

JenumGeranium · 04/01/2006 11:22

Melrose - is it you that makes your own veg soup?

What do you do? Just put lots of veg and stock together or is it a tad more complicated?

bubblerock · 04/01/2006 11:22

I still haven't received it either UCM.

Look at the price of this cross trainer A total bargain - If I had the room I'd go for it!

melrose · 04/01/2006 11:23

oatcakes meant to be good for snacking on and filling, may go and get some later

JenumGeranium · 04/01/2006 11:25

That cross trainer is a bargain isnt it! It was £400! .

I have an air walker I got before Christmas for £70 from studio but its still in its box and needs setting up. I may ask DH later when he gets in from work to help me set it up!

bubblerock · 04/01/2006 11:30

I've got a little exercise trampoline that I should really dig out, I can only bounce for a couple of minutes before dying though

JenumGeranium · 04/01/2006 11:31

Lol!

I tried skipping a little while ago, which was ok but I needed to go out and buy some Tena pads - old bladders not what it used to be!
