L- salmon and salad
D- honey sesame chicken legs with a greek salad.

Hazel as your TTC could it just be down to the extra sex ?

Good point milly
Or hormone changes, coming off OCP?

Don't worry hazel

Oh food.
Well I haven't fasted this week. I have had a bastard headache for three days straight and I just can't face a fast with that tbh.

Here goes
B: bagel. Coffee, tea
L: corned beef and Tom sandwich. S&v crisps . Several biscuits. Tea.
D: Thai fish soup. Yogurt. Slice of melon.

If I still feel I'll tomorrow I will chop my head off, that should shift a few pounds.

hazel have you done a pregnancy test?

Could be Milly! Haha

I'm thinking hormone changes as my face is currently covered in spots and red blotches. Nice.

No, haven't done a pregnancy test Amanda as only 20 days into this cycle.

I hope your headache improves soon xx

Sorry for short message, on phone and it's bloody annoying!

me today

Rocket leave salad with ham and grapes

Pizza Hut....2 slices pizza with small bowl of bit of everything salad

Revels and coffee and Cineworld watching Last Vegas

Brill film by the way.

Morning all.

Milly I quite fancy going to see Last Vegas. Will suggest it to DH.

Yesterday:
B – S&V crisps
L – baked potato with beans
D – chilli & rice
S – toffee crisp, full fat coke, decaf tea with skimmed milk, sparkling water, water, hot choc.

Today:
B - coco pops
L - tuna & sweetcorn pasta salad
D - either lamb noisettes or rump steak
S - mini cheddars, decaf tea, water, sparkling water and probably a hot choc.

I'm feeling good today. I didn't drink last night and went to bed at a sensible hour so we were up earlier and both had breakfast. Obviously I could have chosen something healthier but I don't like muesli or porridge so I at least started the day with something I like! It's kept me full all morning as well.

DH didn't buy any alcohol with the shopping yesterday We're both having a much more sober week so productivity should go up!

Well done you too.
The headache continues and work is rubbish so I am using that as an excuse to eat crap
B: bagel, coffee, nurofen
L: rice and peas with Harissa. Loads of biscuits. Ready salted crisps. Tea. Satsuma
D: spaghetti bolognaise.
Glass of Chardonnay.

Humph!

Bloody work biscuits shoud be outlawed!

Ugh. Stepped on the scales this morning. Back to 9st 5. I’m seriously fed up. I’ve cut down the calories so why is the weight not coming off?

Anyway, food.

Tuesday:
B - coco pops
L - tuna & sweetcorn pasta salad
D - rump steak & chips with virgin mary sauce
S - mini cheddars, decaf tea, water, sparkling water and hot choc.

Wednesday:
B – coco pops
L – pasta with egg, bit of cheese, cucumber, sweetcorn & tomato
D – lamb noisettes with veg
S – mini cheddars, tea, water, sparkling water, hot choc and a biscuit

So I need to cut out the mini cheddars, hot choc and biscuit. Aiming to do that today.

Today:
B – coco pops
L – baked potato with tuna and sweetcorn
D – homemade crab cake with veg. DH was going to do potatoes but I think I’m going to have extra veg instead
S – water, decaf tea, sparkling water.

I’ve felt so good this week. I’m waking up early, I’ve got more motivation at work, more energy at home and I’m generally in a good mood. Until today.

I’m so bloated, my skin is horrific and I feel so tired despite getting a good nights sleep. I need to exercise, I think. I’m so fed up of my stomach. None of my clothes fit me. UGH.

How is everyone?

Hi everyone, sorry for falling off the thread. It seems to slide out of my 'I'm on' section. Also, have been really stressed and comfort eating and felt too ashamed to come on here and admit it! DH's arm was broken really badly so he has ben quite unwell. He tried to do too much out of frustration then it laid low, so I have been trying to keep the business going and the Dcs going and the house going, and have a big project on. Am knackered! So we have had takeaway 4 times this week and I have been mainlining pombears.

Ugh.

I am going to just try and make Day resolutions. Today:

1. Eat smaller portions of healthy food (Have a veg and lentil soup on the hob)
2. NO snacking!
3. I will have wine today, but alternate each glass with two of sparkling water and sip those slowly.

I also need to procrastinate less on MN. I was on quite a bit yesterday, just reading it and avoiding work.

Hazel glad you got everything checked. :)

Oh wellies So sorry you've been having such a stressful time. At times like this I think healthy eating goes out the window - you just need to survive! Big hugs.

I also need to spend less time on here. Work is suffering because I'm lacking motivation. So today I've decided to wear my scruffs and have a day of tidying, sorting and cleaning.

Of course, just as I arrive at work, DH tells me we have a member of the House of Lords visiting today. Thanks husband! If I'd have known that, I'd have worn something a little nicer.

Oh yes, I got the results from my tests back...all negative, as expected

Yesterday:
B – coco pops
L – baked potato with tuna and sweetcorn
D – homemade crab cake with veg. DH was going to do potatoes but I think I’m going to have extra veg instead
S – water, decaf tea, sparkling water, mini cheddars (doh)

But no biscuits or hot chocolate.

Today:
B - coco pops
L - 1 cheese and pickle sandwich
D - fajitas
S - water, decaf tea, sparkling water, lime & soda.

I'm really going to try to kick the mini cheddars out of my diet today. Pub tonight and it'll be a real test. DH will be drinking and I won't be. I doubt I'll stay out long, I find the pub hard going when I'm sober!

I think AF is going to arrive early, lots of cramps (3 bloody days now), a headache, I'm so tired and feel like I've been run over by a bus. If not, I think I've got a cold coming. Boo.

Right, 9am...I've been here an hour and haven't yet been bothered to check my emails...time to do some work!

(((hazel)))
(((wellies)))

Thanks Hazel and Amanda.

DH and I just had the most enormous row. Mega screaming at each other. We are both quite stressed.

we have made up. We both screamed home truths at each other. There are some things I have been sitting on and vice versa that got an airing tonight. Not that nice. But have hugged, and had a glass of wine and are back together as a family.

He is watching some horrid Japanese film where people have had their arms cut off so I am now on MN.

Hope everyone is fine and well this weekend. Us yesterday- pub lunch, I had grilled salmon and salad. Dinner - veg soup and bread.

Today in a departure (another departure) from the 'mostly vegetarian' aim we are having coq au vin.

weather looks grim out there. How is everyone?

Morning!

Sometimes you need a good row wellies Everything ok now?

I’m shattered. I woke up at 3am in absolute agony and have been unable to get back to sleep. I’ve trapped a nerve under my shoulder blade. Horrendous pain. I’ve taken a nurofen and tried to loosen my back up and typically just as I was about to pick up the phone to make an appointment at the osteo (which I’m unsure about doing anyway), I don’t feel half as bad. It’s definitely still painful but I can cope with the pain (I have done for the last 3 years anyway!)

Anyway. Food.

Friday:
B - coco pops
L - 1 cheese and pickle sandwich
D - fajitas
S - water, decaf tea, sparkling water, lime & soda, mini cheddars

I bought a wispa on Friday as I was so hungry…but it’s still in my drawer

Saturday:
B – pancakes and maple syrup
D – paprika crumbed chicken and chips (in the pub)
S – handful of twiglets, chocolate cookie, lime & soda, hot chocolate, 2 175ml glasses of white wine

Sunday:
B – pancakes with maple syrup and bacon
D – chicken and veg stirfry with noodles
S – water, packet of kettle chips, 3 175ml glasses of white wine, 1 large glass of red wine

I drank too much yesterday and I’m quite cross with myself. Still, back on track today.

B – 40g bowl of coco pops with skimmed milk. I was going to have muesli until I noticed the sugar and sat fat were pretty much the same so I went with the tastier option
L – bean stew
D – no idea because DH didn’t get anything out of the freezer. I’m guessing it’ll be fish and veg
S – water, decaf tea, mini cheddars

Hi Hazel, I am with you on the coco pops over muesli!
Thanks, we are fine. I was really mad though and have been feeling blue the last few days. DH is fine. We have apologised to each other and had a reasonable weekend.
Today.

Bk- Natural yoghurt and coffee
L- sandwich of some sort
D- leftover coq au vin and mash. Alcohol-free day also today, had some at the weekend.

I'm glad you're both fine wellies x

Yesterday:
B – 40g bowl of coco pops with skimmed milk.
L- bean stew with 2 slices of bread
D – steak pie with mash and peas
S – water, decaf tea, blackcurrant squash

Had an appointment with osteo - back is screwed. Still, he managed to relieve some of the pain in my shoulder and a bit of a spine crack later and I actually feel ok today. Shoulder is still niggly but I got a decent nights sleep.

AF arrived today so not pregnant but 2nd cycle after coming off pill and I'm back to 28 days which can't be a bad thing. Feeling a bit blue (I'd really hoped I'd be one of the lucky ones, falling on the first month) but equally thinking of the good things I've got coming up next month which may have been a bit difficult if I'd been pregnant (Like the bar crawl planned for the 8th!)

It goes someway to explaining the bloating and 3lbs on last week too.

Morning all.

Hazel on AF. But you are most likely right to say your body is getting back to itself. Good luck. :) Glad you went to the osteo. I have to go too, I have been walking with a limp for about a year because my back is 'out' and I have just gotten used to the pain.

Your meals always sound so delicious Hazel!

Me today:

B- chopped banana, pears and apples with honey and ground almonds
L- huge salad sandwich, otherwise the avocado is going to go off.
D- Indian takeaway. I have a meeting tonight for a volunteer organisation I have been providing fundraising assistance to for 4 years. Last meeting, hurrah! That has been depressing me too lately.... small village. small community. Lots of backstabbing. I am resigning tonight as it has been getting me down. So, a step forward towards the new empowered me, where I remove what and who is toxic in my life.

I will probably need a glass of wine after that, but we have a half bottle of cava from the weekend that from this morning's viewing looks fizzy still.

wellies walking with a limp isn't good! Go! Be seen! I feel so much better after one session. Next session is on Monday.

Hmm, they may sound delicious but they're not healthy! The steak pie was lovely and it was a frozen one from Aldi but it's not going to help with the whole "OMG I NEED TO LOSE 5LBS BY SUNDAY!" thing.

Well done on resigning from the organisation. No point volunteering for something which gets you down. You seem so much stronger, so pleased for you! x

Thanks Hazel. :) How are you now?

I just ate a Co-op takeaway Indian thingie as a way to avoid doing work.

On the up side though I weighed myself this morning after drinking two pints of lemonade and two cups of coffee and I appear to be 10stone 8.

Fed UP with this weather.

Excellent wellies!

I'm ok thanks, feeling much better but my eating is all over the place. Can I blame hormones?

Tues:
B - 40g coco pops w/skimmed milk
L - bean soup with 1.5 slices bread
D - spaghetti with meatballs & chilli oil
S - decaf tea, water, mini cheddars, 1 large glass wine, 1 small glass wine, hot chocolate

Weds:
B - pain au chocolat
L - pasta with cucumber, lettuce, tomato, olive oil & balsamic
D - sundried tomato and feta cheese tart with buttered new potatoes and salad (had this in the pub)
S - mini cheddars, decaf tea, water, handful of twiglets, 3 small glasses of white wine.

Must.Stop.Eating.

I must stop eating too!

The tart you had yesterday looks yum.

I am merrily procrastinating by eating AND internet shopping!

gah!

Morning FRs. Sorry for absence. I'm a bit off kilter with being ack at work. It is quite stressful.

hazel glad your shoulder's eased up a bit. You'll be able to reach up to the shelf where the ovulation kits are.

Well done on your wl wellies

I have been a bit rubbish but not bingeing. So quite pleased-ish.
