The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VIII - The One Where We Waist Away!

[grinningbee]

Yes, it is cushion plumping time again

Pull up your favourite chair (I'm bagging the one in the corner thanks ) stick your feet up and join in with the nattering.

Plenty of room for everyone

I have this theory about holidays, and will watch with interest what FHF says.

We only go away once or twice a year, and only for 3 or 4 nights at a time. Always to a caravan park. I think it's nice to make the most of them without going crazy, and then work on the resulting gain when you get back. It's nice not to think about food etc (although I bet we all still do) for a few days.

The holiday usually ends up being stressful enough without denying myself the odd treat! Mind you, we're actually not taking Mil this time. Woohoo!

Lots to do after we get back. See the consultant, oh, and move house. Lordy I wish I could just lay on a beach in the sun for a day or two to get my mojo back

Lol my theory on holidays is no different from any other week :) you're in charge, you're in control, the decision of what to eat/not eat is up to you :)

Just be aware that if you go so far off plan you will have a gain - and be prepared for that gain. I enjoy my holidays, I do usually make good choices when I can, but because sw is a way of life now (99% of the time) its an easy choice to make.

Well done on the size 12!! That's a fab feeling isn't it??? Am so pleased for you :)

Bee the weather here is gorgeous, almost too nice for me to have to go to work boo hiss!!!

Oooooooh, harsh strict consultant

I'm off out now with the littlies. Should be fun. Hopefully they won't play me up!

Lol get that head lifted!!! And believe me I have had some mighty gains on hols, but because I was prepared for them they weren't as scary as they could have been!

FHF not tried anything else apart from the jeans as yet in a size 12 (mainly because I dont own anything in that size to try on - though I did buy a dress recently with a view to it fitting soon) So not classing myself as a 12 just yet, but believe me I am estatic on getting those jeans on!

The holiday we are going on is self catering and we are driving so as you say I am the one in control so certain items will be coming with me and certain foods will be avoided, But i shall indulge a little in the good stuff...just a little

I will make sure I swim every day and walk too instead of just lounging around, I hope I stick to that bit.

Bee sometimes we just need someone to crack the whip and tell it like it is xx

I've got an all inclusive holiday coming up in August so it would probably be rude not to eat loads extra
I know I will gain on holiday, its just a question of how much I'll gain. Perhaps I can cut back on the alcohol? Who am I kidding, it will be a gain for sure.
But, the more I can lose before I go, the more weight I can afford to gain.

I am in so much pain, my stomach feels like I've got knives in it and I feel sick. I thought it might have been hunger pains as I don't feel like I've eaten loads today but after I ate dinner, I started feeling sick

I'm off for a soak in the bath shortly in the hope that I'll feel better then. A lot of people are off sick at work at the moment with one thing or another. I really need to go to work tomorrow but if I'm still feeling like this, then I won't be able to.

Oh no kid, hope you're ok??

Choc, just go in shops and try 12 on :). Best feeling ever :)

Had an ok day was feeling ill earlier on so have ate v little, but am light headed.

B was fruit and yog
L was mugshot, 2 nectarines and a pear
Dinner wasnt until 20 mins ago and am affronted to say it was a bowl of fruit salad and lean ham!!!
Will do better on the food front tomorrow, good luck for DOD everyone :)

Who are we pm'ing?

I'm a lot better, pain still there but only slightly. Hopefully I'll be completely fine by the morning.

I've half made tomorrows lunch, just need to decide what to have with the pasta.

I need to work out a suitable floor upstairs to use the scales on as I think the carpet will effect the scales result. I also need to find the scales as DH emptied out bedroom and I haven't seen them since.

Good luck for DoD everyone.

V quick wave and food diary post, hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine today

Bit of a weird day food wise eating on the hoof, ?EE:
BF: Melon, toast + marmalade (HEb + 2 syns)
L: Apple + Muller yog
D: (BBQ not food planned my me!) Sausages (? 5 syns) + salad
S: Banana, another Muller yog blueberries, flapjack (6 syns)
Only had 2 coffees today so not managed full HEa - reminds me I need to look at the HEa list again and see what I could be having other than milk in coffee!

Can do list tomorrow if people want to PM me, but could a late one don't wait up if you're expecting a sticker

Good morning everyone, have come on for DoD and realised I've not posted in ages, sorry. Kid sorry to hear you're not well, sounds nasty :(
How's everyone else doing? I weighed in on mon instead of tues this week but will post that weight as have no scales at home and I don't know how they would compare with the slimming world ones anyway.

Good morning everyone!

I'm not sure where Face is, so if you want to PM me for the DoD today, I'll do the list later between 9-9.30 like last week.

Good luck everyone!

Kid I hope the stabbing pains have gone, that sounds nasty and FHF I hope you're feeling less sick today as well.

Back later!

Face is on her holibobs.

Did I not say? sorry all!

I'm looking forward to reading a good skinny minnie list just so I feel guilty about all the wine and cheese I am eating
Love to all, will be back Monday!

morning! Am feeling a wee bit better. Wish I could shake the sore head I have but apart from that the sicky feeling has gone.

Weigh in tonight, then have a meeting for dd's secondary school... scary biscuits, how did I ever get to be mother to an almost 11-year-old and the rascal is almost as tall as me too!!

Not sure what today's food will be, have to go to bank in a minute (well more than a minute cos I've to shower etc first!) and finish cleaning this tip of a house.

We've a taster evening at Slimming World tonight - have made a jelly/mousse (1/2 syn) and a pasta bolognese dish (syn free) to take with me.

The jelly is so easy, just your usual sugar free jelly, made up using the boiling water and then instead of adding the cold water, add a syn free yoghurt or two! I used a raspberry jelly, 2 raspberry activia snack pots, sweetner and I mixed some raspberries through it and have some left for over top of it.

The bolognese is just ex lean mince, garlic, onions, mushrooms, tomato, tom puree, stock pot mixed with pasta twirls!

FHF the jelly mousse sounds lovely! Might have to try that after next week. Hopefully the dc will like it too. Glad you're feeling a bit better

Face Oooooh, wine and cheese. Reminds me of a former cheese addict we used to have on here. Hope the holiday is lovely!

I have had no Pm's so far today. Methinks it'll be a shorter list than last week.

ff&f glad your feeling better and kid i hope your get better soon.

face hope your enjoying your holiday? not jealous at all

ff&f i might try the jelly thing tomorrow as a wee treat for after dinner!

choc was it you with the mini milk addiction? they are only £1 for 12 in morrisons at the mo as i picked some up for the kids and me .

Well tis glorious here today and i hope the weather stays for the weekend.

i went for a run tis morning about half 10 and nearly passed out as it was red hot! will need to be going earlier or later in evening if this lovely weather keeps up.

i have been really naughty today and forgot to have breakfast! so here is my plan for the day

B - none
L- mug shot, banana, yog and fibre plus bar HB
D - cous cous salad with feta HA

snacks will be more fruit and yogs if any.

I think I might have put too much yoghurt in as the jelly doesn't seem to setting! May just be taking the pasta bolognese with me later lol

I've got my big red interest table cloths (bed sheets) on the line - am scared the neighbours will think I'm racy in the bedroom with them out there!!

I'm feeling fine today, no idea what the pain was last night but its gone so I'm happy.
I do love the summer but wasn't it hot today! I'm oviously not used to the sun as I felt like I was melting. I've just got in from work and have changed already. I wasn't even in the sun for that long but I guess the long walk home didn't help.

I did WI this morning but I'm not happy. In my weak defence, I've had to change the flooring that I use the scales on so maybe its a different reading to the flooring I usually use to weigh myself? Thats possible, isn't it?

Anyway, back to planning ahead, writing it all down and some more red days I think are needed. DH is home this weekend and he makes it hard because we tend to go out and there isn't much choice on lunch on the go. Maybe I need to carry the fruit bowl and alpen lights with me? I do need an emergency back up plan.

I am so glad my house is nice and cool in this weather, its almost as if we have air conditioning.

Let us know what the jelly tastes like Fairhaired, thats if it does set!

Face, enjoy the rest of your holiday.

DD is due to finish school in a few minutes. Do I sit here and enjoy my cup of tea or do I go and collect her in the car so she doesn't have to trek home in her jumper and blazer while carrying her suitcase of a bag on her back?

Kid different floors will give different readings, so I'd take the scales outside to a paving slab (unless you do what I do and wear nothing to weigh in!).

My dc are being really ratty and ds is very pinchy/bitey . Think they must be overtired. Only 2 hours and a bit to bedtime!

Now where are all the PM's??? I've had one. And she's winning the bowl of fruit at the mo

I also wear nothing to WI so there is no way I'm taking the scales outside! I did try them in different areas of the room hoping for a different/lighter reading but no such luck.

I have also checked my 'healthy' lunch today and found out that so called light choice sandwich was indeed full of syns. That will teach me not to investigate first.

Oh Kid

I've just cut our grass. Most theraputic . Unfortunately Thing has just come home smelling of beer, and gone back out again "needing to fit a headlight bulb" for someone. Yeah, ok.

Off to the Dr's again tomorrow as my chest still hurts and is crackling. I've had 4 full days of anti b's now so I'd have hoped it would be getting better.

Oh, in case you're wondering, the name is from the dinosaur thread today. must change it back

I think the antibiotics should have started working their magic by now so its a good idea to go back to the Drs.

I didn't even notice your name change until you mentioned it!

Bee love the dinosaur name that thread made me chuckle

MadeinScotland YES I have the mini milk fetish at the moment and shall be stocking up again very soon

Shall pm Bee before she shouts!

Bee did you get my wi? I hope I transcribed your new name properly!

Hi, just checking in to say if anyone PM'd me for list (made a not v obvious offer of doing list down thread) I can't access inbox as we were burgled today and my laptop's gone Bee made a much better role call so can you send stats her way. I had an unexpected gain just top off a crap day, just putting DC to bed at my parents house then off home to tidy ransacked home
