NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[cyb]

Here we are again

AND RELAX......

I was disapponted to see that none of us has made it into this weeks Heat super skinny people.

Hello children

I worked my arse off this morning (I set up a stay and play session FROM SCRATCH every Thursday), staggered back into work, tidied my teaching room, staggered into staffroom thinking mmm, something smells nice.

What do I find? The entire teaching staff sitting ,chatting ,laughing ,eating an Indian takeaway and are quaffing bhajis, biriani's, pilaus, the whole shebang.

I meanwhile have existed on a bowl of bran flakes and a pear and have bleeding stumps for fingers.

So part of me thought you witches, where was my invite but now I'm think HA I had a salad at home in the end and you will all smell

adn be fat

I think we should all ZONE namechange till Easter

waddya think

the British gas man was supposed to come between 2 and 4. My house is FREEZING.

Anzonieo- sorry to be boring and hijack thread, but was wondering how long you were out of teaching for before going back, did you do a refresher course and are whiteboards scary?

Ta.

I mean smartboards

oh no one boterhs with smartboards. Flip charts and fat markers are where it's at

Really? That's encouraging.

I do teach in a cave though

I've been out of the game for nearly twelve years - only taught for 2 before having ds1.

Fancy it again though - maybe part time or supply or mat cover.

Dunno. Scared. But bored at home.

I bet you woudl be fab. Go for it. Whats stopping you?

That's what I want - a school with low standards and out of date technology. I'd fit right in.

Did you refresh or just wing it?

Tomorrow morning, please could people provide:
Start weight
Current weight
Loss this week
Target weight

And if you would like a pie chart could you do lots of asterisks and flashy lines along the lines of < = shouty face> I WANT A PIE CHART*

-- so I can see it easily when scanning through thread.

I'm an HLTA so not a teacher but do small group teaching with children with socail emotional and behavioural issues

Ok, I am going to SULK.

I have been exemplary this week, and bloody good last week. I have been a saint. No chocolate. (Question: How many family members offered me choc yday? Answer: Two, the unsupportive buggers) No cakes. One small ginger biscuit on tuesday, the first biscuit to pass my lips in a fortnight. About 3 zillion portions of veg and fruit a day. No cheese no butter virtually no bread or pasta. Smaller portion sizes. No-point soup for lunch. Sodding Corn bloody Thins coming out of ears.

Weightwatcher weigh in this morning (I have been looking forward to thursday morning all week, for some positive payback) and - I stayed the same.

Arghhhh! What else can I cut out? That naughty apple mid-afternoon? The skimmed milk I sprinkle over my bran flakes? Whaaaaat??

Ok, so how long do we think it takes for the weight to come off when we don't eat a farking thing? I've heard it can take up to 10 days for pigging out to show on your hips, so what about the other side of the coin?

I'm SO pissed off today now. And the worst of it is, I'm now so conditioned to Zone It, I just went into the kitchen to see if I could do a little angry nibbling, and I glowered at the easter chocs, and I glowered at the hot cross buns, and I glowered at DS's babybels, and then I stomped out again and sat down with my black tea. Hmph.

Oh, happy birthday for yesterday, aitch.

Having to sit in an interview and explain I've not set foot in class for twelve years and only taught for two.

Perhaps should volunteer for a bit.

I was fab, back in the day. Enthusiastic but disorganised NQT.

yes def volunteer, see how things have changed. they woudl bite your arm off I bet.

(the school, not the children. hardly any of them bite anymore)

lol at bakewell

erm was it hard NO
i had a long time off - 2001 till 2008.
went back and its all techno apart form same garbage shite jargon. etcetc - almost a complete circle there.

whitebaords can be used simply as a big puter screen - that is all I do.
you dont haev to haev kids ( gasp) moving and ( gasp) writing with strange pens

teh only thing is an occasioanl blue screen and you press F something or when it needs re.. god not calibrating,, something adn then the kids do it.

Oh reshape, don't panic.

You'll have a massive sudden weightloss soon.

Could it be you're not eating enough? Starvation mode, body hanging onto fat thing?

It happens.

i was very scared - hence i got the Glandular fever 2 weeks before i started.

tehn you realise that you are one of the most experienced teachers there. - arf

i am quite off the cuff too
am really inventive, love kids love fun
NOT good at stupid targets and stuff
am much better at marking and setting targets than i was before - think tis being parent of school aged kids.

So no refresher course?

I just don't fancy doing one, not sure why.

Thanks bakewell and anzonieo.

All my class bites maybe it's just me.

reshape it will happen. I didnt see anhting for about 2 weeks then suddenly PING my waist turned up, and my saddle bags subsided. DO NOT GIVE UP. you will wake up very soon and see the difference. You MUST be able to feel it, non?
