Hi, am here to join you- thank you !
Will post tomorrow after I've read through all the other posts-a bit of catching up to do!

susiecutiemincepies · 07/01/2008 23:16

Good plan Katy. I have kind of been trying that anyway. Thing is DH is trying to be good while he's home, as its not easy when living out of hotels and out of motorway service stations.. so he wants to eat properly when hes here. Not htat he expects me to cook for him. He tries.. but i'd rather cook if the truth be told... hes a bit too, ermmm, experimental?

I think ill just have to get into the right frame of mind again. I am really, well, much more than I was before. In fact, i found it easier to be really good when he was here, as somehow, showing him i was eating better and not eating crap, made me feel good, and like i was in control ( of something ) so I stuck to it... a bit like when you tell someone you are giving up smoking, you kind of have to once its said, or else you just look week ,and like a lier!

Well one on all that mrsfish sounds fab, hope your leggies are not too sore in the morning.

Morning all.

Legs not too sore, can feel it in my bum a bit, so, must work harder Can't do it tonight though as we are going to the pictures. DH wanted to have an Indian before but I have persuaded him I'll cook an early tea and have it before we go instead. I didn't want to risk an Indian buffet with a weigh in tomorrow

katylessbumpy · 08/01/2008 07:54

Trafford Centre

DP was at work, and DD had a great (for her) nights sleep!!! And I've cleaned the kitchen and had a shower already! This is a great start for me

Going to make gnocchi tonight - the energy that goes into making them cancels out the some of calories burned in eating them.

I shouldn't complain about MIL - she really does mean well, and my own mother is just as bad, it's just I see a lot more of the good side in her.

We have quite a few chocolates left - but I find I can have a couple for pudding, don't nibble them all day like some things - biscuits, especially.

pollywobbledoodle · 08/01/2008 10:52

morning all
i think i need a ra, ra, ra kind of talk.....

up a lot of the night with dd...so katy i am also bog eyed and am also off to the shopping centre.... Am going with a friend who will be pushing for harry ramsdens and millies cookies..as i have little chance of talking her into the place that does baked potatoes, the pep talk is to get me to persuade her to go to the nice cafe and to stick to a coffee and a roast veg and mozzarella panini with no cake etc....

i have had my porridge to set me up for the day.

way to go mylittlepud

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 10:59

Morning ladies

Also at the Trafford Center. I miss wandering around there, and manch city center. I think its probably because, when I'm wandering around there, i'm with DH. Well, I mean, when i'm doing that, its becasue we are staying with DH in his hotel. He's not wandering round with us

Cant say I enjoyed it a huge amount at the time, as we had to do it to get out... but looking back, it makes me feel happy, as I always knew we would be going back after shopping, to be with DH. Oh its made me feel really sad

We have been trying to work out how is best to be together with him on this new job. Booking up early is the key, and we can get cheaper flights than train tickets on some days. Problem is, he has two other jobs still running, so can not guarantee where he is going to be on specific days, making booking in advance very tricky.

Any one have any solutions??????

Isobel woke me up this morning, by plonking a bag of chocolate money on my face. she was very please with herself, it was in daddys bedside cupboard. Thank god she didnt dig any deeper in there

You should have seen her face when she found out she'd not only found a wonderful shiney bag of things, but htat when you took the wrappers off, they were chocolate and you could eat them!!! Her little face was an absolute picture! Total amazement when I unwrapped one ( at 7 am then, at about 8am, I'd dozed off again, she was watcing Cbeebies. Next thing I knew, I was being hit in the mouth very hard with a book. It didnt half bleed. I didnt know what was going on for a few minutes, totally stunned. Blood everywhere. I thought i might need stitches but it stopped eventually. I look like i've been boxing though

Bless her little heart, she was horrified at all the blood pouring out of my mouth. she just kept trying to kiss my mouth.

I ought to go, I've just heard some mischevious laughing coming from her bedroom and she's nudey doody at the moment.... probably another poo incident involving floors and doors.. but thats another story!!!

So, have had breaky all ready:
half bowl of porridge.

MrsFish · 08/01/2008 11:08

Just done a half hour Davina DVD I can remember when I could do it with ease, but really struggled this morning. Went upstairs just to see what ds1 is up to as its gone all quiet, and he's back in bed with all his teddies awwwww On the way back down I thought my legs were going to collapse on me, so all those squats seem to have done the trick

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 11:59

Blimey, well done you MrsFish! wish I could do something like that. Bless your little boy on goign back to bed. Isobel is very reluctant this morning.

She is SO tired, and grumpy I've put her into her cot, shes ' just standing up shouting and throwing things out at the moment. I know she needs a nap though, so i'm hoping she will relent soon, and lay herself down. Wishful thinking?

Jahan · 08/01/2008 12:13

Hi girls!
Oh so much to catch up on! This thread moves fast these days.
I've had a couple of busy days so haven't been on here much. I've not done anything special but weekends always tend to be busy as we do tend to go aout and about quite a bit.
I've been walking around the park with ds2 whilst ds2 has been in nursery. He's only at nursery for 2 mornings a week so I need to find time to do a dvd on one day of the week.
I've just made some carrot and parsnip soup for lunch and I've been having gruel (porridge made with water, yum) for breakfast.
Good to hear everyone is doing ok. Keep it up girls and those jeans will be loose in no time

Jahan · 08/01/2008 12:14

Sorry, meant ds1 in nursery

discoverlife · 08/01/2008 12:21

I lost 2lbs. HOW!!! I have been comfort eating because of problems, and there was the Christmas cake, and the Jelly beans. So HOW????
Picture of me bouncing around living room (then giving up to pant heavily)in happiness, I am going to have to get a fitness video. Any suggestions for someone who is very overweight and suffers from stress incontinence, so no bouncing.

MrsFish · 08/01/2008 13:06

This one is out of stock atm on amazon, but I have it and I think it is very good, as you can mix and match what you want to do in 5 mins sections, so even if you hardly have any time spare you can always squeeze something in

this one I have also ordered the Natalie Cassidy one too, I'm a sucker for before and afters I've also taken photos of myself in my underwear this morning not a pretty sight, but I'm hoping it will spur me on when I can start to see a difference

MrsFish · 08/01/2008 13:09

susiecutie - he didn't stay in bed for long, and no chance of a nap either It was funny doing Davina though, he kept trying to copy and then getting under my feet, also decided to jump on my stomach during the sit ups which wasn't great He is back to nursery on thursday all day, and then a tues and fri morning so I am going to try and do the dvd on those days, and the cross trainer every evening.

Jahan · 08/01/2008 13:11

Well done discoverlife! Thats a good result. I am weighing tomorrow.
Have you thought about pilates? People swear by it. I am trying to find a class in my area. I am also going to try to find a belly dancing class as it sounds like such fun!

currantbunmum · 08/01/2008 13:59

Good Luck for the morning weigh in.

Remeber to take off your jimmies, and jewellery, and nip to the loo, before hand.

discoverlife · 08/01/2008 14:27

I don't think I can do Pilates with a frozen shoulder.

susiecutiemincepies · 08/01/2008 16:53

Girls I've blatantly come on on here for sympathy so please lavish me with loads....

I have had an accident today. Involving washing up a glass, stuffing a cloth into it to clean it, and the glass breaking and taking an enormous chunk out of my knuckle.

Just got back from A&E had 7 stitches and a very large padded bandage over it. I cant use it at all for 7 days It HURTS so bloody much. every time i move it even the small amount the bandage allows, its excruciating. I could just see the tendon and was incredibly lucky it didnt get damaged. I bled like a stuck pig, Isobel was horrifed at all this bright liquied pouring out of my hand.

Thank god i didnt damage the tendon, and thank god DH is home thursday. I cant wash or change isobel i dont think. I mean, how do you change a nappy with one hand? or put clothes on a wriggly baby?

sorry for the blatant sympathy post but i'm blooming fed up. You might see me post this elsewhere too... just feel so alone right now. luckily mum has taken isobel for a few hours and will bring her home and put her to bed. They gave me a shot of morphine, in addition to what i already take, so should help a bit. sorry again
