Hi everyone. I've got a couple of days off pre-nights. Though dd did not oblige by sleeping through, she went back to bed for nearly two hours so I feel like I've had a little more sleep.

We went swimming today. I still look terrible in my swimming costume. The ward scales have me at 11 st 2. I'm not sure how accurate they are. That gives me a BMI of 26 and a gain since New Year . We have just booked our first slightly more luxurious holiday ever... we go in 6 weeksish. So I could REALLY get my act together and lose a stone, and indulge whilst away and feel good about myself. Or I could keep comfort eating, which I am burning these days with all the exercise, so my weight is steady-ish, and keep whinging. My alcohol intake has crept up too. Working full time and being a semi-single mother is stressful. More whinging.

I have my colposcopy - finally! - tomorrow. With one of the consultants in my department
Not like there's a choice though. And... it does need doing. I bet they weigh me, and maybe that'll be the shock I need.

Aaargh what a little pity party!
I am having wholemeal pasta with pesto for tea, I think. Hate cooking just for me!

I am dreaming of being 11st 2 again, only 11 pound to go

DH is in the kitchen making me a lovely omlette for tea... I wonder what he wants in return

katylessbumpy · 19/03/2008 21:08

sorry everyone .i'm not being much use at the moment.think i'm going to have to go to the doctors and get some antibiotics.think i've got tonsilitus again

mylittlepud....how embarrassing.....don't they have a referral system to the mainland for gynae staff? good luck with it...where are you going for your nice hols...lie back and think of those waves...the sun...the cocktails....

dh weighed himself tonight and it doesn't look like the scales are out by much...if at all.......at least af is here so some of it might be bloat

katy..it's all that mn chatting...go to bed....is dh there to sort the kids out for you....

pollywobbledoodle · 19/03/2008 22:20

mrs fish....an omelette!....ask him for the other courses before you give in

MrsFish · 20/03/2008 07:10

He didn't require anything in return which is unusual

katylessbumpy · 20/03/2008 07:16

dh couldn't sort the kids out as he was pissed!and dd won't be with anyone but me.
i went to bed though(after dd) and slept like a log.

dd is still asleep so i have managed to have a shower shave my legs and dry my hair
i don't care if i feel like shit at least i don't look and smell like it now
might even try and have breakfast in peace too !

oh my lord the weather is grim
just back from asda having stocked up on healthly foods again.why in this weather do i crave stodge?a big bowl of sausage,mash and gravy would go down a treat about now.mmmmm
not that i could swallow the bloody thing.i don't feel as crappy today but it still hurts to swallow .

how's everyone else? are you looking forward to easter?is anyone using divertion tactics to avoid the chocolate or is it sod the diet time?
i'm being good and avoiding the chocolate,i need a good weightloss this week as my sis lost 4 1/2 lbs and is catching me up well done to her though.

OP posts:
MrsFish · 20/03/2008 15:17

I think I will be good this easter. I would rather have cake than chocolate

LoveMyGirls · 20/03/2008 15:18

I've tried hard to be good but ended up having hot cross buns for lunch so now even though i'm hungry i'll have to wait for my dinner! Might have some fruit or some salad as that's free so will hopefully be ok.

It's really cold and windy here or we'd be off to the park now.

Going out for a meal sat night but i'll just have steak and jacket potato and a fruity pudding or maybe even skip pudding which will be hard, mind you might treat myself if i've done well at WW on friday.

I'm hoping to have got another 2 lb off this week or even 1 and half.......

katylessbumpy · 20/03/2008 18:08

i like chocolate and i like cake but i don't like chocolate cake

i don't think hot cross buns are that bad if you have them without butter.2 1/2 or 3 points depending on the size.

i'm hoping for at least 3 off this week as it's a double weigh in.
i'm definately doing my stepper tonight.i feel so much better.

yep,it's still raining

pollywobbledoodle · 20/03/2008 21:26

MrsFish · 21/03/2008 06:54

I've not given up, got too much to lose still

I have recorded GA and House, and soon Desperate Housewives will be on again... heaven

katylessbumpy · 21/03/2008 07:41

grey's anatomy.fantastic!
i've seen this series,have you got any idea when the next one starts?

glad you've not given up mrsfish
but you can't have that much left to lose,you've been doing brilliantly

OP posts:
MrsFish · 21/03/2008 07:56

No idea, have you been watching downloads?

I want to lose another stone and a half to take me down to 10 and a half, so still a way to go yet

You can't have much left to lose, considering you have a lo you have been doing amazingly well too. I could do better if I had more willpower and exercised more. I'm hoping that once I start proper training for The Race for Life it will be a bit easier

mylittlepudding · 21/03/2008 08:02

Thanks for asking Polly.
I feel pretty rubbish about it, for some reason. But physically all went well. Biopsy, tick, no need for any big excision, tick, coil threads....... no tick. I'm sure, almost as sure as can be they're curled up inside. And I'm also sure that the nausea I've had for a week is due to my medication doses being changed. But I think I'd quite like to see it all on a scan, just to be sure...

katylessbumpy · 21/03/2008 08:06

yeah i watched the downloads ,i'm just itching to see what happens next.

i'm not suprised you felt rubbish mlp.it can't have been easy for you knowing the people that were doing it.i hope it all gets sorted for you soon and you start to feel well again

i've got about a stone left to lose.that'll take me to 9 st 2 .but i'm going to play it a couple of pounds at a time as i don't want to look haggard now i'm getting on a bit

Morning,

I'm still being good (well last night I wasn't so good but then i never am after weigh in! I had a southern fried chicken sandwich, kit kat and some choc cake) but that it is now i'm definitely being good from now on, no fry up today!

I lost 1 and half punds this week taking my total up to 17lbs in 8 weeks, i'm so chuffed, I got my 10% keyring and set a goal for 9.10 which I will hopefully reach by the end of May!

I wasn't as good as i could have been last week either but this week i'm going to have loads of jacket potatos, beans, chicken and veg and tuna salad!

I'm hoping to go swimming again on monday, got a busy couple of weeks because I'll be having up to 6 children through the week so any exercise will be a bonus other than running around with the dc's of course

It's snowing here and we're out for a meal tonight where i will try to be good though i may have a pudding!

katylessbumpy · 22/03/2008 08:17

lovemygirls....CONGRATULATIONS
that is a fantastic achievement!
i always have a treat after weigh in too lol.your chicken sandwich sounds goooood
