Oh my goodness Shock
I don't think I will do Pinterest for food.

So many gorgeous recipes!
So much cheese and cake and treats.

it's not working but as it's you double here you go

DoubleMum · 10/05/2013 17:26

Sounds yummy. I shall have to buy some chipotle paste. I apologise for polluting the board with calorific treats BTW. I shall go and stick forks into my legs.

Don't apologise. It's lovely to look at. And I have felt inspired to join Pinterest now. I will be cooking and baking over the weekend now and that always makes me vair popular with the chaps in my life Grin

DoubleMum · 10/05/2013 17:52

Until quite recently I was running a catering business from home making this kind of stuff all the time. No wonder I'm the size of a house. Pinterest is fab though, I love it. If you let me know your Pinterest name I'll follow you.

Don't apologise! Blimey, it was bloody wonderful reading Grin

dinkydoos · 10/05/2013 23:32

Oh my good god. Have had wine, and in bed with a quick chief catch up ( not sure that sounds like it should) and just went onto doubles pinterest. That is true hardcore food porn. I want it all. Now! Those brunch thingies. Arrrghhhhhhhhhh! My eyes!

dinkydoos · 10/05/2013 23:33

Oh and i am on pinterest after o e evening where I joined but I have neveR had any idea what to do. I pressed follow all, gawd knows what that means.... But think it basically means I am stalking double...

DoubleMum · 11/05/2013 08:11

LOL Dinky that means you'll see me pinning lots of stuff. If you get fed up with that, you can unfollow me and just follow individual boards. But if you don't go into Pinterest too often anyway it won't make any difference.

I really want to invite people for brunch but I haven't got round to it yet.

I need to get to grips with pinterest, can't quite work it out yet Blush
Rainy parkrun done, weekly shop done. Can I go back to bed now?..

Lizzylou · 12/05/2013 13:02

Have gymmed and now am lost on PinterestGrin
The whole world is jyst waiting to be pinned, love it Smile

Off out for a family swim to one of those pools with waves n slides n shit soon. Hope everyone is having fun Smile

DoubleMum · 12/05/2013 15:00

Just been to see Star Trek ('twas brill) and negotiated not one but two trips to Greggs without eating anything. I might be back in the swing of things, hopefully, have been a bit lost the last few days ...

I bloody love Pinterest. I'm RandallFloyd on there too if anyone wants someone to follow.

I warn you though, I'm neither crafty nor arty. I mainly pin texts from the dog, food, and cats with bad grammar.

DoubleMum · 12/05/2013 15:53

I'm impressed your cats have any grammar skills at all TBH.

Lizzylou · 12/05/2013 18:47

Randall you have opened more ideas for me yo pin Grin

Weeeeellll, went to pool with sludes n waves n shit, good so far. And to be fair I played with boys, jumped waves, slid down slides and managed some swimming for about 1 1/4 hrs.

Not enough to make up for the fact that we then went to the best and most authentic Indian buffet ever on way home. On a whim. I am so stuffed and it was so good Blush Grin
Very strict muslim though so no booze.

I will repent my spur of the moment binge tomorrow Blush

DoubleMum · 13/05/2013 09:32

Strangely quiet on here. WHat's happened? Are you all scoffing chocolate? Where's mine?

OP posts:
LaundryLegoLunch · 13/05/2013 12:43

I'm here!

I did have a big fat scoffy weekend though, I'd didn't log half of it. I knew it was bad when I was eating leftover curry at midnight on Saturday....

I was going to do another 24hr zero-fast from 5pm last night but got locked out this morning and had to eat to cope with the stress (difference from old me was I chose fruit in Sainsbury's and not the giant chocolate croissant that I really really wanted....)

How was your weekend double?

DoubleMum · 13/05/2013 13:25

Well done on avoiding the choccie croissant! My weekend involved Dominos Pizza AND a Chinese takeaway so not good from a healthy eating POV but quite nice all the same. I will be struggling to even stay the same this week though, as a consequence.

OP posts:
BsshBossh · 13/05/2013 13:35

I'm here too, just recovering from a) my very intense weights routine on Friday - couldn't walk properly all weekend Blush but it should get easier once my muscles get used to the new routine and b) the usual over-indulgent weekend.

Lizzylou · 13/05/2013 14:03

Hola
Is it me or on Monday are we always fasting/atoning for our weekend blowouts? Wink
I can be really strict all week but the weekends are too much temptation, was really good until yesterday evenings Indian buffet extravaganza. Lots of exercise though all weekend, so not too bad.

BsshBossh · 13/05/2013 14:12

I'm not officially fasting today (that's tomorrow) but haven't yet eaten today because I'm still stuffed from the weekend. I am seriously thinking of dusting off my old Paul McKenna book to revisit his Golden Rules of Eating (which I recollect as being very sensible). I seriously need to condition myself to stop eating when full (well, before it gets to that point actually) cause it's not that nice to feel bloated - no matter that the grub tastes delicious.

DoubleMum · 13/05/2013 14:15

I struggled with not preparing this weekend, and then being too knackered or too hungry to be strong enough to avoid temptation. Planning is key ...

RandallPinkFloyd · 13/05/2013 14:20

Haven't been on MN much at all recently, too busy being a maudlin old arse. Thought it best to stay away lest I besmirch all the chiefly positivity with my blanket of misery!

I even had a binge on Saturday night. Not a good fun Randall, a proper old school binge. I haven't done that since we started this. Feeling very ashamed of myself but maybe it was a good thing because I really didn't enjoy it and felt like shit afterwards so no temptation to do it again any time soon.

I've done two fast days to atone for it so just putting it behind me. No point beating myself up about it for too long. Onwards and downwards Smile
