jahan...tell dh that swallowing is the equiv of eating a snickers

Jahan · 06/03/2008 21:41

Polly
I think your weekend sounds lovely. Whereabouts in Wales are you going? I love Wales. Sorry about all your 'prodding'. Hopefully they'll set you right soon.

Thanks Katy - I think you're right. Well, I'm going to believe you are anyway and yes, I do need those extra cals

Dh is out so I've been watching tv with my feet up and some dark choc in my mouth
I think I'm going to take it easy while ds2 is needing lots of feeding as thats more important than me losing lots of weight. I know I should be eating more healthy stuff but hey, you need some comfort food from time to time.
Am off to snooze on the sofa in front of the tv.

susiecutiemincepies · 06/03/2008 21:45

Polly, you do make me chuckle!

I'm supposed to be packing for the weekend. I think i"ll just go to bed at a reasonable time instead. Get up, and do it in the morning.

B Special K 28g
L veg soup, apple pear and satsuma.
D not eaten anything. Not feeling too good.
Snacks: 3 fruit chews.
Cups of tea. About to take a mug of hot milk to bed with me.

See you tomorrow Katy Will text you when I get onto the train,so you know i'm on the right one and running to plan!

susiecutiemincepies · 06/03/2008 21:47

ps. I'll be the large wobbly thing, with blonde hair, (probably f-ing and blinding... ) rolling off the train, pushing a bugaboo with pink and white flowery buggsnuggle, oh and dragging a black suitcase!

katylessbumpy · 06/03/2008 22:09

i'll be the one wearing a red rose
i'm off to bed.dd has worn me out tonight and i need to be up early to find something to wear!

OP posts:
susiecutiemincepies · 06/03/2008 22:14

Morning ladies.

I have managed to do the XT this morning, dropped ds1 off at nursery, came back did half an hour, then bathed ds2 gave him his bottle, just having a quick look on here then off for a shower, then start some housework after picking ds1 up from nursery ;)

fedda · 07/03/2008 18:07

Hi, girls, thank you for your advice,I know it sounds like a lot of visits to the loo but i only respond like that to soups so I wouldn't bother my busy doctor. I have been having soup free days and today i had grapes for breakie, BBQ chicken wings with grapes and small cup of tea with 1 sugar and 1 apple for lunch and I'm having macarel and chips + peas for dinner. I'll have another cup of tea with 1 sugar and something to munch on. i'm trying to avoid biscuits as I don't feel when I need to stop. i haven't lost anything but I haven't gained anything either. I've been walking today as the weather changed for the better.

katylessbumpy · 07/03/2008 22:45

i'm baaaack! did you miss me?!!

OP posts:
katylessbumpy · 07/03/2008 22:59

i'm not filling you in on the juicy gossip then!

OP posts:
MrsFish · 08/03/2008 06:40

Of course we missed you

Well I am a chuffed mummy this morning, I have the bestest boys Put ds1 (2yrs 9mths) to bed last night and we tried him without his dummy for the first time, after half an hour of him saying he suddenly wasn't tired anymore he was asleep by 8pm and we haven't heard a peep all night till 6am this morning when he woke up for a wee. I must admit I was expecting tears and tantrums Ds2 (5 months)is still asleep and I've not heard a peep since 7pm last night I am truly blessed.

katylessbumpy · 08/03/2008 08:22

fedda · 08/03/2008 15:43

Your poor DD, Katy My DC had it, well, many people say it's better sooner then later. I had it as a teenager and I tend to agreee that the younger the child gets it the better. Best of luck

LoveMyGirls · 08/03/2008 16:04

Get some piriton and calamine katy and she shouldn't itch too much, it will soon be over, I think the worst bit about it is having to stay in.

I had my weigh in last night, I'm not too impressed, I tried my best but didn't quite make it, oh well I will definitely get this 1st stone off by Friday because I've only got 1 lb to get off by then to have my 1st stone off! Thought af is around this week and god knows how long it will last this time or if i'll hold water after like I did last time. I'm going to try really hard again this week though won't go swimming because any exercise will make me want to eat loads and I get really tired when i've got af so going to take it easy and not over eat. What do you lot think?

My treats this week for losing 1 and a half lbs were......
ww choc bar, ww cookies (this was while still at ww meeting because i hadnt had dinner and was gutted about not losing my stone like i wanted - silly really) When i got home i had beans on 2 slices toast with a bit of grated cheese on top, 2finger kitkat, 1 glass WW wine.
This morning I've had a fry up (done as healthily as I could) 1 small pork sausage, 2 slices bacon, 1 egg, some mushrooms and 1 grilled tomato. (that was breakfast and lunch) I've just had a gfy hot choc and ww cookies - I feel like i've been really naughty when I see it all written down!

Fedda - anything is better than putting it on! Srtaying the same always gives me a hard kick up the bum!

MrsFish - awwwwww your kids are very good!!

LoveMyGirls · 08/03/2008 16:07

I've been so tired today dp didnt get me up until 10am then I went back to bed at 12.30 and he had to come and wake me at 3pm or i'd still be there now! (think it;'s because i'm now starting work at 7.15am until 6 most days and af always tires me out plus i've been eating less and doing more, I feel good now though and when i've had a bath I might even feel human!!

fedda · 08/03/2008 16:52

I was tired as well in the morning but DC had other ideas and thy were running up and doen since 7:30 so after desparately trying to get a bit more sleep I gave up and got up at 7:45. I weight myself and the weight was the same as before but on the second attempt it was slightly less, I did another go and it didn't change so I decided to agree with my scales when it shows slightly less weight loss (600 g less) and I'm not going to believe it if the scales show more - when is my scales going to make up it's mind? It's digital but probably it's drunk I'm letting myself have fun during the weekend to keep my spirits up so no diet and then sensible eating during the week. let's see what happens

katylessbumpy · 08/03/2008 19:22

dd is asleep now

lovemygirls you'll get your stone this week.just remember to drink lots of water to flush out the fat !

meeting susie yesterday was great.isobel is so cute.her and dd held hands pretty much as soon as they met making it quite diffiucult to push the buggies lol.
susie is just how her posts portray her.warm,genuine,funny and slightly mad
we had a great time gossiping and drinking while the girls behaved like absolute angels.we took a couple of photos which i'll upload in a bit(just to prove to my family that i didn't meet an internet stalker pmsl)
we decided that we are definately doing it again so if anyone would like to join us at the bar you'd be very welcome
