NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES thread Part 3

[CheckpointCharlie]

Ooooooohhhh, that's exciting, and a bit of an honour, I feel like the Leader!

Tortoise fact is though you not lost you obviously doing something right as you not put it on despite Yiu saying ate crap

Yup youcan is right took me long time ti be ready to do it and had lots of false starts and put on more weight !!

Well, things to do are mainly housework and I'm self employed as an eBay seller and have a box of clothes to list and a box of jeans/trousers to sort that haven't sold individually. Need to put in same size bundles I think. Also lots of paper work to do.

All I've done is fold some washing and put another load on!

I want and need to lose weight. Have been trying on and off for years and years. If I keep putting it off im going to end up heavier and heavier .

Tortoise could you set small goals around house eg paper work for 20 mins then a sit down then another chore and then reward self with Tv

14st 2 so 1lb lost :)

Still no exercise yet, but my back is a lot better so I might have a gentle go on the exercise bike tonight and see how I go. I'm signed off work til the 23rd anyway, so if it does hurt I will just stop and leave it another couple of days

didi How disappointing :(

Tortoise Not putting on is great, especially if you have been eating crap.

I'm making that squash and chorizo stew tonight. Does it need rice with it or something?

Okay when do toddlers grow out of the endless repeating phase?

DD has systematically fed every single one of her playmobile people and animals to her bathtime shark and then insisted that I kiss each one better....silly silly me I imagined she would stop once everyone had lost a leg...but no...back to the start....and again..and again...

I wouldn't mind so much but every new mutilation is accompanied by a small but extremely ear piercing scream.....

Hi tortoise. When I made it I had it with broccoli and found it quite filling but I don't really like rice anyway so tend to avoid it.

Icb dd2 (who is 2) is still going through that phase. In the right mood she still throws things on the floor and gets upset until you give them back. Then she throws them on the floor again...

Tonight's dinner is the courgette, lentils and feta salad that I linked to last week. Only 250 cals.

No clue icb forgot with mine and niece still into it but she only 14 months I call her my mini demon she like a whirlwind and they all in bed now well she and my two younger ones think my teens allergic to early nights

Ha ha that is really funny ich!!!!! ESP the scream!

My dd is trying to get me to fight her all the time, anyone who has seen the Diary of a Wimpey kid, when the two boys kind of circle eachother she does that with her teeny fists pointing at me, then she suddenly roars and flies at me, knocking me over and pumping her fists as hard as she can.... OW!

Well,done fuck! Great start!

I am considering going to a man over the road who has a fitness studio and does all manner of fighting training! I don't do running anymore and can't do jumping about or jogging so am limited. Quite like the idea of fighting too.... Only prob is that it is £15 a session which is a bit beyond me at the mo... What to do?!

Oh and I keep meaning to out this quotation up, I read it on a other thread:

'being overweight is hard, dieting is hard. Choose your hard.'

That has helped me to focus this week.

Ps johnny that dinner sounds lovely.

ICB my dd2 will be 3 in March and still has massive repetitious phases. She makes us do the same things over and over and over again. Yesterday it was the blackboard 'draw a bed with mummy and dd2 in it' then she would rub it out and I would have to draw the same picture again. I think I drew that picture about 30 times!! And endless games, she got a few basic board games for Christmas and we play the doggy bone game 5 or 6 times in a row. So I can't remember when they grow out of it but it still seems a way away yet for us.

Tortoise As everyone else has said, not putting on is good. Now if you can do what you did last week but miss out a couple of the treats then it'll be a loss. Small steps is fine, it isn't a race it's a new way of life.

Oh and well done to all the other losers.

Well, the squash and chorizo stew was pretty tasty .DS1 tried some and said it was delicious! Had it with savoury rice.

Oh CCC I like the quote!! A LOT!!! Will repeat as my new mantra...

I may change some words...
Being overweight is Shit. Dieting is Shit. Choose your shit.

Checkpoint and Yiu can love the quotes

I Di adapted yoga but must admit some days it is tough dragging my arse out of bed ok that's every day especially now it's dark when get up I so want to roll over get extra 90 mins before start getting mine up for school . But once done I feel better for mentally even if my body going you silly bint

I've got a bad headache today . It normally lasts 3 days and is because AF due in next few days.
Might cycle to school with dds today.

Managed to cycle to school with DDs . Didn't go any further today, bit icy out. Will cycle to pick them up from school though.

Well, I never went on the exercise bike last night and it was probably good that I didn't.

Walked to pick DS up from school this afternoon as there was no way my little car would be able to get back up my hill again. It took about an hour and a half of trudging through the snow and now my back is killing me, and me knee is hurting because I am not walking properly :( At least the walk counts :)

Having Jacket spuds tonight so will be nice and full so won't be tempted to dive into the xmas chocs

Ooops, it's Fuckity btw with a NC

I got bored with the old one :)

Hello Tally - I thought we had a newcomer that had literally settled straight in
Made me smile!!! Hope you back and knee are feeling better after a nice bath perhaps?

I didn't even think until I had posted and realised that no-one would know who the hell it was

A bath is definitely on the agenda for tonight, with a book of ghost stories to scare myself with so I have to try to get dried without so much as glancing at the window

Tally Just think of the calories burnt walking in snow .
I hoping we get some soon. Looks good for Friday here. Love going sledging with DC .

Oh good grief - the shark is on the rampage again. Today we have added some munching noises to the attacks and a rather realistic "oh noooo" as the poor dismembered playmobile people are handed over for kissing better.

How I am going to explain that my DD's first properly understandable attempts at verbal communication were "chomp chomp...arggggghhh....oh nooooo!"

Oh, and the occasional "bye bye".

She still doesn't even say mama or dada.....
