The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VII - Slipping Sylphlike Towards Summer

[grinningbee]

Ah yes, it's that time again. New list, new decor. Same comfy chairs though

So, pull up a chair, settle in and make yourselves at home

thanks for the kind thoughts and hugs, life can suck at times. I shouldn't be feeling glum as its not me going through it but its not nice to see those around you suffering and falling apart.
No change in the situation just yet, but I was constantly checking my phone all day as I have said I'll drive them down there when there are only hours left. DH will be on that watch tomorrow as he has a week or so off work now.

I am physically exhausted, I am falling asleep as I type and still feeling a bit sicky with sharp stomach cramps. Had them for 3 days now so I should be used to them by now.

Last day at work tomorrow, I can do it, I can do it.

I've just ordered my shopping, got meals planned for the next 8 days so I just need to stick to it. Cooking should be easier while I'm off work as I won't be so restricted with time.

I finally met with DD's teachers tonight, I am pleased with what they had to say about the support she will get in lessons (to help her make sufficient progress) and I am also pleased they know I am not going to just sit back and assume they are helping her. I have another meeting in June.

Well done to those of you still posting your DoD stats. I am not doing well with anything right now but that doesn't mean I've given up. When I see how well you lot are doing/have done, it gives me the incentive to do well too.
I do need to get more organised, I've slipped drastically these last few weeks and I hate not being organised. So, I plan to fix it during the school holidays and hopefully be back on track in the very near future.

glad you're hanging in there kid.

it seems you can't step back and trust the school to support your DD without "reminding" them kid. DS1 is meant to have a laptop, and there is one for him to use, but noone knows where it is. Quite worrying because it is a small school. I will be glad when it is parents evening.

I have a friend on FB (MNetter from my PN group) who is doing SW and keeps posting pics of yummy looking meals. There is no way I could put pics of my cooking on there!!!

at 1.05pm tomorrow I will be free! I am so looking forward to this holiday.

Lucky you, half day. I've got to keep going till the bitter end!

I was actually really impressed with the staff that I met today. The meeting was very reasuring and helpful but should have been done without me pushing for it.
I've also been given senco's email address so I can contact her at any time in future.

I'm not sure if I'd post pics of food. I know other people that do but they probably shouldn't lol

Hang in there kid. Hope it all gets sorted.

Dd is still asleep. She's had 12.5 hours last night, bizarre! Dh sat his exam yesterday, it went OK so fingers crossed. I can't wait for this weekend, no special plans but at least he will be around.
Anyone got any plans for the weekend?

B: poached eggs on toast (heb)
L: tuna salad
D: it's date night!

good luck vibes to mr cheese. enjoy your weekend

cheese you luck for your dh on the test results.

Kid hope everything is better for your dd after the meeting with the teachers.

Im awaiting my d.o.d tomrrow and really fancy something naughty but will resit.

B - porridge and banana HA and HB
L- Pasta and sauce with a steam fresh veg added and it was rank.
D - Baked pot and salad with either tuna or chicken, not decided.

Exercise - 20 min run, was supposed to 25 but i thought it would be a great idea to go at 10am and nearly passed out as it was soooooo hot. Lesson learnt not to run in the sun. Going to do some weights tonight to tone up the old bingo wings.

Also i purchased my very first pair of skinny jeans today (actually super skinny) and they dont look half too bad (wearing for night out to theatre tomorrow).

Hope you all have a lovey weekend and enjoy the last of the nie weather as its meant to turn next week.

Hey everyone,

girders not surprised you nearly passed out, I run after the girls are in bed which until this week has been under cover of darkness! I was bloody boiling at 7.30 pm yesterday! Can't imagine 10am! Tres impressed at super skinny jeans :)

cheese what was the exam?

kid be kind to yourself :)

csws haven't heard from you for aaaagggggeeeessss hope you're ok, you are my dieting inspiration! (where's your superfree Young Lady )

Big news- I've entered Race for Life!! I am hoping to run it in 30 minutes . If it's not too cheeky here is my Just Giving page

Hi all, just a quick update. Weigh in last night and I have lost another 1.5lbs. Feeling super happy . Got my half stone award (lost 8lbs now in total, been doing sw for 4 weeks).....got my eye on the stone award next .

Well done for all the losses this week :)

Well done morecoffee, that's fab.

debka so have I. Where are you doing it?

Had a lovely night out with DH. Just enough wine

Shopping was delivered tonight, got my meals planned for a week or so, so I am ready to get stuck in. I do need to get a few bits that weren't available but thats ok.
Finished work for 2 weeks so I can get plenty of rest and sort the house too.

There is still no change with relative. We were due to visit tomorrow but I really doubt we'll be going as he doesn't want to see anyone and we want to respect his wishes. Its not nice for him to be forced to see people and we don't want to see him suffering either
I've been listening to a song he wants played at his funeral. I figured that if I hear it enough beforehand, I will be able to hold it together at the actual funeral. I realise that is just not going to happen though so I'm just upsetting myself now for no reason so I'll stop now.

I see the weather is changing over the next couple of days, how typical!

Does medication contain syns?
I've taken 2 diclofenic tablets today and may take more tomorrow, do i have to syn them?

morecoffee well done on the weight loss, your doing really well.

kidi have no idea re medicine, in fact it would never have occured to me to syn it! your clearly dedicated to the cause.

Well weighed in today and i have lost 1/2lb, not great but still on track, need 3lb off and it will be a stone and a half in total.

Also the blardy rain has started and the wind and cold, i was in a dress and sandles yesterday ffs.

No you should be ok with diclofenac unless it's sugar Coated. It's the syrups you need to watch.

Had a lovely night out with DH last night. Hungover now. Need to do some exercise today to make up for the booze!

Well done for the loss

Aah pressed send too soon

Well done for the loss madeinscotland. That's great. It's sunny here but def much colder.

I'm up late with poorly Ds.multi tasking as ever :) I'm meal planning and wondered if anyone knew how many syns the sainsburys be good to yourself cumberland sausages are, is it half a syn each? Also, my friend told me that the sainsburys be good to yourself frozen sausages (20pack) are 1.5 syns per pack, so she says she has 4 and just counts them as half a syn for for.is this right?!!

Morning all.

According to my app they are 1.5 syns morecoffee. Hope DS is better and you got some kip.

Had a bad day yesterday but back on the horse today.

Food is:
B: fruit and ff yog
L: chicken sandwich (heb) and salad at a picnic
D: fish pie with peas and carrots.

Have a good day all.

Be Good to Yourself Extra Lean Pork Cumberland Sausages, 8 pack, chilled, 57g each - half a syn

Be Good to Yourself Extra Lean Pork Sausages, 20 pack, frozen, 50g each - 1.5 syns. These are the only frozen ones listed I think.

So your friend is wrong - they are 1.5syns per sausage, not per pack!

Thanks cheese, got my phone working again and checked my app. So is that 1.5 each?

Food today-
B cheese on toast (HEA&B) Apple
L baked salmon, roast potatoes, broccoli and carrots. Clementines
T mug shot, yoghurt, apple and grapes.

Loving the sunshine today :)
Had 2 days of not recording my food and had flexible syns so back on it with a vengeance today

Oops, x post! Yes, I said they must be more than that! Are these any good? I don't want to buy them if they taste awful. Have to endure sainsburys tommorow with the dcs so want it to be a quick trip and I'm preparing my list now! Think I will get the half syn ones.....

I quite like them, they are peppery though.

Off to Kew gardens for a picnic, I must be good and take a salad!

I loathe all the low syn cumberland ones, because they are so peppery, but it depends on your personal taste I guess.

Hey all,

Hope you enjoyed being off the horse yesterday Cheese . I have been insufferably good all week, no more than 5 syns a day, loads of fruit and veg. Feels pretty good but I am craving chicken fajitas now

Morecoffee that was really late, hope your DS is better today and you both got some sleep.

Girders well done on 1/2lb, it's all in the right direction.

Sun's out here today, we're taking the DCs to a Lambing Day nearby, was fun last year so I've been looking forward it all year [saddo].

Got a problem for you. We're going away next weekend to 'help' DH run a show. Staying in a hotel so breakfast and dinner are easy. Lunches are the problem. Any sugggestions of SW food I can take- can't be perishable as we're there for 5 days .Have access to a kettle and that's it. I was thinking about those vile mugshots or maybe couscous- and plenty of fresh fruit. Any other ideas?

Oo hello csws long time no see :)

I cba with low fat sausages, I'd rather have quorn ones.

Gosh well done debka, can you hand me some of your focus please? . I've been thinking; packets of cous cous, mug shots, alpen light bars? Could you pop into a supermarket each day and get a bag of salad and a pack of cold meat? How nice to have 2 days away though.
