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

Dh just text from golf "get dressed lady, I'm taking you put for lunch"

Now, would I be unreasonable to say "nooooo I've been out last night, I must resist and lose this week"???????

Feel a bit ungrateful as his friend and his wife are planning in going too and if I say no I'll look like a control freak bitch bag :)

Did you go out fhf? I'm rubbish at turning down social invites, always end up going and being naughty food/drink wise, life's too short!

face you still didn't say where you were off on your holidays? Shopping was ace thanks, Oxford was packed though. And I had two scones, smothered in clotted cream and jam Got this undies set

fancy bra and pants

First and last time I spent £14 on one pair of knickers

Boot camp is going really well ta, found it really tough last Weds, but was tired and in a defeatest "I can't do it" mood. Was on fire on Fri night tho must've been the custard doughnut I had beforehand and this morning's session at a local nature park was great. Felt all fit and healthy afterwards, and have been pretty good today food-wise. Chatted to a couple of other women on the course, and they're doing it properly, ie no caffeine, sugar, processed crap etc I'd be chuffing miserable if I did that, I'm sure.

Not sure what to do for dinner tomorrow night, need something quick and tasty after work, anyone got any suggestions?

P.S fhf I'm pretty sure my dp thinks of me as a "control freak bitch bag" sometimes, but it's endearing

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR sexyslinky. Vair nice. Sounds like bootcamp is fab. Still disapointed the person running it isn't a fit marine!

We are going on holidays to Sussex coast. Posh caravan innit It should be OK, shame about the weather forecast.
I haven't had a good day. It has involved ben and jerrys phish food! Although, I have ben running so its not a toal disaster.

I wouldm't have been able to resist an invitation like that Fh&F. I hope you are having a great time somewhere lovely!

Yup!! Went at 4pm and am only home!!!!

Family friendly place with a live band! Brill! I wasn't drinking as I was driving, dinner was ok'ish! Melon, turkey and ham, but dessert was butterscotch sundae....

Back to butts tomorrow!!! Had a bloody brilliant afternoon, dh is blitzed

Wow slinky!! Huffa Huffa!! Is this for the wedding day??

I got 2 new bras in m&s on Friday, got dd her very first bra too eekkkk she's 10!!

Face a holiday is a holiday innit!!!! We're for Dublin 2 days next week, bring it on!!!!

Ooh, that is a posh caravan, looks lovely. Are you all packed and ready? I agree a holiday is a holiday, don't let weather stop you enjoying yourselves (well, we're British after all, we're used to a few showers). Is it just the three of you? Am actually really envious of your break, you'll have a fab time

Boot Camp is actually fantastic. Have sweated arse off at every session and haven't stopped aching somewhere for 8 days now! She works different muscle groups each time. Have realised that if you can wear any of your exercise clothes a second time, you're not exercising hard enough! All my kit has been wringing each time, yeuch. Dp has commented that I look trimmer, and I do feel good. Wish I could stop eating junk, but I know that's never gonna happen.

So, Ben & Jerry's and butterscotch sundaes eh?!? Good to see I'm in good company on the SW thread Glad you went and had good time fhf you're dh sounds a goodun.

YY undies for wedding day. Mates tried telling me I'd need summit else for wedding night but I assured them I wouldn't Buying your dd her first bra must've been a bit of a milestone moment, bless.

How's the running coming along face? Not long now til your race!

Yes I think it will be a fab wee break. I've packed all our waterproofs so we'll be on the beach whatever the weather! Perfect for toddlers. I'm just relived not to be getting on a plane after last time .

Running is going well, running 4k in about 30min. So impressed with boot camp! You are going to be so toned come wedding day.

I am not around to do the list this week. Who is volunteering?
Food:
B: porridge made with water and plain yog, fruit
L: Jp beans and salad
D: BBQ!

I am being so good with SW this week. I even got DS to help with dinner tonight. He made meat feast pizza which was delicious. Its basically a pizza base with lean (or extra lean) mince, bacon, tinned tomatoes, garlic, onion and mozarella on top. Obviously it contains some syns but not too many. I do think I have more or less reached my syns limit today so no more snacking for me.

Well done witht he running face, 4k is amazing.
Slinky, aching is good, apparently. It shows you are working your muscles hard, you'll soon be super trim.

My hips are really sore even though I don't remember doing anything to them. My knee has also been really playing up again, I cancelled the previous physio session but haven't booked a new appointment. I have a feeling I'll have to be referred by the Dr again so maybe I'll do that during the school holidays. The pain is getting much worse and its getting harder and harder to ignore at times

Oh no kid your knee sounds painful; def get it checked out, and this time GO TO YOUR PHYSIO!! Have you taken any painkillers or do they not touch it? Pizza sounded delish.

I've never done The List before face, but happy to pop my cherry this week

Where is everyone? De-lurk and motivate us please!

Thanks slinks. you are a star!

I'm here :)

Shredded today!! Finally got a pair of proper dumbells and wow, the difference is totally amazing, arms ache! Back nipped a wee bit when doing jumping jacks but will persevere!

Hoping being 100% with food from now til weigh in will at least see me maintaining!! Not getting weighed in until Thursday this week so won't make the list, will update on thread !!

Unless I go completely mad with food today, I should be okay for a loss this week. Food is planned so I should be okay. Just wish I was this in control all of the time and then I'd have no problem. I know I can do it, its just the constantly having to plan, organise and create meals that everyone will eat that I find difficult.

DS reminded me its only 4 weeks or so until our holiday, eek! Hopefully its a little longer but I doubt it. Best start thinking seriously about that soon.

I'm still lurking but have had a bad week, been

Been poorly and not eating anything much all w/e but made up for it yesterday with bad food :( DH has just left for 6 weeks so I have no idea what my 'dieting' will look like when I'm just cooking for one. If previous experience is anything to go by it'll be emotional eating of sweet crap all day followed by a mug shot and a banana for tea, I always eat badly when I'm only cooking for me :(

Oh slimjim sorry to hear you've been poorly, and now dh has gone away (is he in forces?).

Why don't you batch-cook some SW friendly lasagne/shepherd's pie/chilli and freeze it in portions? Make sure you always have some fruit and salad in the house to snack on/put with meals. Do you have family/friends nearby that you could invite round for dinner some nights?

Try to keep busy during the day so you don't habe time to emotional eat crap?! So important to stay motivated and on track once you've reached target; you don't want to undo all your hard work, but know this is easier said than done! I've been at target since Christmas, have good weeks and bad, but know if I was naughty for 6 weeks I could do some serious damage .

kid am very of your hols; where you off? If it's somewhere hot and sunny then I'm double At least it should keep you motivated! Fingers crossed for a loss for you tomorrow if you've been good.

Sorry Slinky, that wasn't very motivating, was it?

The last post was in reply to mine, not yours!! I X-posted with you

And yes he's forces, slinky

Ok, I'm going to resolve to cook some lasagne/shepherd's pie for the freezer - it'll give me something to do and I can freeze ds sized portions as well as adult portions and we'll both try to eat properly. You girls are my witnesses!

Hello everyone. Can I come back please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I'm so ashamed. I've put on so much lard. I haven't found the scales yet (packed in a box in a cupboard somewhere) so I don't know just how bad it is, but it must be a couple of stone. I'm such an idiot .

Anyway. I'm off to do a healthy food shop in a bit, and will weigh myself later too. I did it last year, so I know I can do it again.

And I've missed you lot

We're all moved in to the new house now, just a couple of issues to resolve, but we're getting there.

I very nearly didn't come back because I have failed so miserably, but I'm sure there'll be no judgey pants

No judgy pants here!!! I'm trying to get myself motivated to do day 1 level 2 of shred... :(

My tummy hurts and I can't eat anything, but had a kiwi and some melon to see if that gets me through the shred...!!!!

We're all in the same boat bee, all trying to aim for those goals!!

Right, must shred.... Will check in later! If I survive

slinky, I'm off to turkey to a 5* all inclusive hotel on the beach
I fully expect to gain while I'm away so the more I can lose before I go the better!

hi Bee nice to see you back again, glad you are settled, bet the weigh in isnt as bad as you fear x fingers crossed xx

I am confused as to why I am losing when I have not followed plan properly.

last week I came out of the closet as an emotional eater having eaten easter egg and mumerous freddos and still lost 1.5lbs - no-one was more gobsmacked than me.

I will know after 4 bacardis on Saturday, a naughty lunch plus 2 bacardis today and a naughty 3 course meal tonight with lots of bacardis that something is wrong with me if i lose again! ...just saying.

However I am due on so may, just may get away with it!

Kid are you going to Belek?
