Sorry Katy!
It is nice to wear things I didn't think i would be able to fit into again.
I've still got such a big wobbly tum though really wish it would disappear so I could stop being so strict, I can't believe I'm under 10 st and still needing to lose weight

Still cold though

LoveMyGirls · 19/05/2008 08:07

Morning, sun shining but cold here too, I'm getting really excited about going away and having some time to ourselves it's going to be so relaxing and I'm really hoping we can enjoy being together and get on really well, in the nearly 7 years we've lived together we've never had a whole 2 weeks without our dd's it's going to be so strange I wonder how long it will be before we run out of conversation because we haven't got dd's here to talk about/ interupt/ distract us etc lol!!

I'm going to try and enjoy the peace and try not to mope about missing them too much because I know they will have a fab time with pil and they will be well looked after, I'm so lucky they offered to do this for us, I've got loads planned.

What's everyone doing today?

LisaLessLumpy · 19/05/2008 08:24

I'm planning on cleaning the boys rooms

LisaLessLumpy · 19/05/2008 08:25

LMG - Where are you off to for two weeks?

We are going to London for the weekend at the end of the month and I'm really looking forward to it too

LoveMyGirls · 19/05/2008 08:29

Dd's are going to greece with pil for 2 weeks and we're having a couple of weekends away and a day in london while they're away (1 weekend in amsterdam and one weekend in leeds) I wish we were going on holiday for the whole 2 weeks but neither of us could get that long off work and we can't afford it either can't really afford what we are doing but it's njot like we get the chance to do things like this so we're just doing it anyway and we'll sort the finances later bit irresponsible but you gotta live a little at times or what is the point?

LisaLessLumpy · 19/05/2008 08:32

Ah I see, but you'll still have a fab time

pollywobbledoodle · 19/05/2008 09:44

morning all
the last few days seem to have gone by in a blur of visits to new babies (aww)the cinema, bookclub and a canal festival interspersed with the builders knocking the garage roof off....they are getting going in earnest today...

foodwise tried to keep a lid on things but lost momentum a bit, but as they say "it's a new dawn, its a new life....and i'm feeling good..da da,....or something like that

katy, missed your night out, spill the beans you dirty stop out....

Jahan · 19/05/2008 09:49

Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing well.

Katy - Hope you're doing well. Have skimmed thread and sounds like you're bearing up well.

LMG - I think you've done brilliantly. What a good idea to write up you're story on your other thread. I'm sure it'll inspire lots of people (including me!)

I'm still plodding along but haven't been doing brilliantly. I'm just so tired all the time. I've not been getting much sleep and have been finding dieting hard. On the positive, I've not put on any weight.
I'm sorting myself out the on the diet though. I'm getting organised and meal planning. Dh has promised that he'll come home 'early' ie by 7.30 twice this week so I can go to the gym.
I'm going to put my food for the day up here again as I think that helped.

So plan for today;

Porridge, coffee
beans on toast
couscous, chicken, veg
snacks - fruit, yoghurt

pollywobbledoodle · 19/05/2008 11:05

hi jahan, long time no hear.....it's hard when you're tired isn't it...btw 7.30 is not early.....are you on your own all day til then ?

Jahan · 19/05/2008 11:34

Yes Polly, I am. Thats why I'm so tired all the time.
Dh hardly ever gets in before 8. I do everything all week. Its sad for dh too as some weeks he doesn't see the boys at all except for a few mins in the morning.
I'm usually organised and do ok but its hard when you have sleepless nights.

I should make more of an effort with the healthy eating as I find I have more energy when I cut the junk and up the exercise. Wish it would cure my sore eyes too!

pollywobbledoodle · 19/05/2008 12:57

i suppose you could stick the cucumber or fruit t bags on them!

do you have friends/family you could leave the kids with for a few hours so you can sleep....i was reading an article a bit ago which said that dieting while not sleeping is fighting all your hormonal drives....suggested that it was one of the first things to correct (if you can) .....mind you, it doesn't seem to have stopped that katy! The other main thing it suggested was regular low GI foods to iron out the quick energy snack...>plunge in blood sugar...>wanting another quick energy snack

Jahan · 19/05/2008 15:36

I read an article on that too. I have generally been trying to do low gi. Pasta and rice are wholegrain now. protein at most meals too. It does help.

pollywobbledoodle · 19/05/2008 20:53

Those kids have done me in today. They've just gone to bed! I should too but I need to put my feet up for a bit and have some nice green tea.

LoveMyGirls · 19/05/2008 21:28

Morning all.

I am on facebook too, I am on the mumsnet group.

Well I am feeling really good weight wise for the first time. I'm not far off my pre-pregnancy weight and feel like I may have a good loss this week. I actually feel 'slim' although I know I'm not, I still have a long way to go but I am in size 14 trousers comfortably and size 12 tops (if its stretcy material) of those that I have just bought from Asda anyway Time to sell those size 16's.

Have a good day everyone. xx
