carbs = SW!!!
I will be turning off in a huff shortly. I am too tired to battle with the internet.

and we killed the thread

when are you back at the gymn RG? You have nearly inspired me to go for a walk tomorrow. Am also working out if I can manage DS1s tennis lessons this term, and if it's light enough for us to practise together when he gets in from school.

RGPargy · 07/11/2008 12:04

Good morning ladies!!

Sorry i wasn't online last night - i had a bit of a mad one. I put DD up to bed too early after getting in from work and merry hell broke loose because she just wanted to spend time with mummy! Bad mummy!! So anyway, once we'd had dinner, i watched an hour of telly (Gordon's kitchen nightmares) and then had to get all my stuff ready for the next day and then was into bed!! No time for internet!!

Anyway, glad you have finally found each other lol. Perhaps your security settings were too high or something.... who knows!!

I'm back at the gym this lunchtime so will be going around 1.30. It'll be nice and quiet by then too! Just gonna do some cardio for a few weeks to ease my body back into actually do more than sitting

Bran - got the packets yesterday, thank you! They are exactly what i need for work! Thanx again!!

jaz236 · 07/11/2008 12:21

Im inspired RG i will be going for long walks with baby today, well done you and keep it up we will all cheer each other along xxx

stil havent found ria,aaaaaaaaaaargh, we spent all night trying! whats going on? x

RGPargy · 07/11/2008 12:23

I've just recommended Ria to you on FB, Jaz.

Glad that i've inspired you! It does make you feel great after exercising and today i really need it to release all my frustrations lol.

educatingRia · 07/11/2008 12:51

I didn't go for my walk, but the rain has stopped at last and the sun is out

educatingRia · 07/11/2008 12:57

, I put something on ebay last week (something I bought for the boys that they don't play with) for 99p, it end s tonight and it's bid up to £20. Why do I feel guilty??? someone kick me!

educatingRia · 07/11/2008 15:13

I've just seen this link on another thread. I don't have time to check it out just now but I thought I'd post it anyway.Every little helps

RGPargy · 07/11/2008 15:52

Dont feel guilty Ria!! Blimey!!

Interesting link there. I'll read it more thoroughly at home and see what i think.

bran · 07/11/2008 16:29

I'm glad you like them RG. When we meet up for lunch you'll have to wear one of them so that I can recognise you and avoid that embarassing eyeing up strange women and wondering if it's who you think it is.

jaz236 · 07/11/2008 16:34

awwwwww the first mumsnet meetup!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! hope u and bran eat healthly on your dinner date x

RGPargy · 07/11/2008 22:54

Bran - yeah, will do!

Jaz - we're meeting for a coffee so cant go far wrong!

educatingRia · 07/11/2008 23:12

but you southerners have so many coffee choices

I met a RL mnetter. It was lovely. But a little weird cos I don't do people.

RGPargy · 07/11/2008 23:41

i've met a few too!! They were really lovely ladies, but we've not managed to meet up since!

educatingRia · 08/11/2008 10:04

pah, gained 1-2lb, probably two, but the lines on my scales are so damned small

back to it. fruit for breakfast sp mp tab, as there's no fat in fruit surely?

Dnieces birthday tea tomorrow though

PinkChick · 08/11/2008 20:26

Hi Girls..hope you're all ok?...been out for tea tonight so havent eaten much today!
no brekky as up late and needed to be out.
Went to cinema with dp and dd and had a hotdog at 10.30 with dd
nothing then until tea time tonight, have a lean steak with grilled bacon, cheesechips ( but didnt eat them all!), salad and dd's sticks of cucumber and carrot..afterwards shared a slice of choc cake with dp...however oddly enough i dont feel like ive had a bad day!...i couldnt eat all my tea and only had about 3 forks of cake as i could really feel full/my tabs working again..that was at 4.30 and im still totally stuffed now!

am preparing more this coming week, will be making my own spag bol monday for tea and will start having my cereal for brekky and lunch again to try and shift gear again!, at top end of 13st i cant afford to become complacent and the side step into papershop for chocolate has been occuring again....so that has GOT to STOP!
I also noticed how loose(bleurgh) the skin is on the top/inside of my thighs...so need to find out what works best for those AND stomache/roll in middle!..any tips?

oh and bloody ebay!..cooking mama ds game went for £12 plus P&P last night!..woohoo...then HSM" sing it game (theyve been going for about £10) went just now for £2.50 plus P&P!..gits!

educatingRia · 08/11/2008 21:04

for your ebay pink. I hate it when that happens. My thing last ngiht went for £25 in the end, but I have had stuff that's made me

Went for a walk with the boys this morning. But went to town for some rabbit straw and lunched at the bakers

Maybe a day 1 Saturday was a bit optimistic

jaz236 · 08/11/2008 22:08

OH gawd ive been bad, tdya i had chips and gravy for the first time in ages - I know its very northern but it was yummy!! and now ive just had a profiterole mousey thing from fatfighters!! this is not good!!

and ive seen my shoes which are to die for although i cant see where i would be going in those killer heels apart from in the living room and dining room!! they are gorgeous with a beautiful gold heel!! and diamonds -they are on the boohoo site if anyone wants to look!! - roll on tomorrow with the walking!!

ria -why dont u do people??

bran and rg i hope ur both doing skinny lattes!!

pink - you are not what i expected u to look like - ur gorgeous!!!

educatingRia · 09/11/2008 20:11

I've been bad today too. Dnieces party tea. Yum. And jelly, custard, tinned fruit cocktail and evaporated milk.
Don't actually care today. It was a weird atmosphere so I suppose it was true comfort eating

I don't know re people jaz. I am a shy person (but a bit bolshie to cover that up) I am uncomfortable with people getting "too close" and I don't always understand their motives. I am having weird issues with my BF which are eating me up (basically she can hardly bear to speak to me unless she's with her new DP, despite me supporting her through her affair, her divorce, until her DP moved in etc. Unless she wants something/wants to know something she doesn't even pass the time of day on the school run). I suppose it could be a confidence thing too, but I would just rather not bother. Even on Mnet I stick mainly to usual threads and don't often get involved in others. If I was rich I would be an eccentric hermit. But I don't feel I need lots of people to enrich my life. I am just odd

sorry, you didn't offer me therapy did you

PinkChick · 10/11/2008 10:34

RGPargy · 10/11/2008 14:20

Ria - shame your BF is being odd. From what you've said, it sounds like she is only your BF when it suits HER.

Pink - Wow, 3 stone!! Well done!!

I got weighed today and have stayed the same. I have decided (or rather DP decided for me) that it's DP's fault i'm not losing weight because he's always tempting me with "ooo shall i just pop to the shop and get some beer/wine?" Of course once he says that, i am in no position to say "NO!! Dont you dare!!". I always say yes please and then before you know it, yet another week has gone by without me losing a sodding ounce and i'm sick of it! i'm cutting out the booze from now on, with the exception of ONE day during the week, rather than the weekend starting on Thursday.

It's got to the point where Monday (WI day) is my treat day, then Tuesday and Wednesday i am good, Thursday night is the start of the weekend, pub on Friday night for a couple (or at least some beers bought in), Saturday afternoon at the pub for a couple (we dont stay long because of DD being with us, obviously!) and then Sunday evening, more beers/wine have been brought in. That means i spend only 2 days a week actually being good and sticking to my points! No wonder i'm not losing!
