I've just had some beige food

DS2 made me a piece of white toast cut into four little squares.

I nibbled it. Until it was all gone. Now waiting to see if it makes a reappearance...

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 14:52

Ah, bless your DS2 Bobbie. Think you're meant to stick to bland beige food when you have a tummy bug anyway...

Cheers ZoneA - am v proud of myself. Though as I was plodding along (running at 9.2 on treadmill which I thought was quite good) I looked over at the man running next to me and he was running at 12 and looked like he was barely breaking a sweat. Ho hum, fair way to go until I get to that stage...

Well done on sticking ot the mint tea.

bobbiewickham · 16/04/2010 14:57

I love brown food. All the best foods are brown. By that I mean brown rice, wholemeal bread, quinoa, branflakes, wholemeal pasta etc.

Not chocolate, toast, pastry and posh crisps, obviously.

well, we've been ice skating and DD hated it. The skates hurt and she couldn't stay upright. Yet when I suggested we should go and do something else instead she stropped. Farking kids.

Finally managed to prise her off the ice and out of the crippling boots and went to play 'frisbee golf' in the sun. Good fun and lots of steep walking up field but I managed to fall over . I was running down the hill laughing at gently ribbing DD about her crap throw which had landed on the 'green' of the next hole (unintentionally) when SMACK! I tripped on a lumpy bit and went arse over tit, face first into the field, twisting my ankle as I went. DD nearly prolapsed with laughter. That's karma for you.

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 15:45

Nom - bless, ice skating is not for everyone. I hate how those bloody boots feel on your ankles... Lol at the frisby fall. DH did something similar when we were out hiking pre kids - he was pissing himself laughing at me being shat upon by a seagull (fortunately just splatted all over my jacket not me personally) and stepped into an enormous cowpat.

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 15:46

P.s. hope your ankle is ok now. Lots of rest and elevation and ice way forward...

CheeeseOnToast · 16/04/2010 15:51

oh dear, NDP. Hope you weren't badly hurt? Quite funny though

I always seem to hurt myself when I'm laughing at someone else, I suppose I should have learnt by now.

Well done everyone who's lost, and those that haven't - COME ON!

and to whoever was unable to get away for their weekend away (was it Reshape? Sorry I have a dreadful memory) - although DP did manage to fly out that morning, he's now unable to get back, so actually i think you had the better deal by not going at all. So now he doesn't know when he can fly back, I've had to spend all morning finding phone numbers for him as he has no internet where he's staying. And he's now got to shell out more money on extra accomodation, and he's not even sure if he can stay on where he is. V stressful.

And I've now found out my mum is in the same boat and not able to fly back from France tomorrow. Agh!

Ok, food. Breakfast was one WM toast with marmalade (so sue me!) and for lunch I had delicious squatter nut bosch soup and a forkful of pickled red cabbage. no bread. My mid-afternoon snack will be some grapes that are chilling in the fridge. Lots of water too, and NO diet coke .

Not sure what dinner will be yet. I'm all alone for dinner so I can do anything!

NomDePlume · 16/04/2010 15:54

thanks for the tip dinky, ankle is fine now. It was just one of those 3 deep breaths moments. It serves me right. Ego more bruised than ankle

On the plus side, i womanfully avoided the homemade cakes on sale in the coffee shop after skating and pre frisbee. I am proud of that one because they looked delicious and I am a sucker for cake [bloater]

cocolepew · 16/04/2010 16:03

Mme Lindt,thanks for asking it was DD1 who fell. DD2 just ran around, in a circle, screaming "the blood! The blood!". I think she could grow up to be a Dr.

Loads of people told me I looked slim today.

Well 4.

And they were all friends. But still, 4.

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 16:30

Yay for the compliments Coco - its that 2 stone that magically dropped off I tell ya

CheeeseOnToast · 16/04/2010 16:30

well done Coco, always nice when people compliment you. No one's said anything to me yet Mind you I havent actually lost that much, about 2kg?

No one's mentioned my new haircut either that I had last night, it's noticably blonder and I now have a fringe. No one's said anything

cocolepew · 16/04/2010 16:32

I like your hair cheese. Makes you look younger.

Everybody wants a go on my magic scales

AnnDaloozier · 16/04/2010 16:33

NomDePlume · 16/04/2010 16:36

NomDePlume · 16/04/2010 16:39

I just scoffed 3 mini chocs standing up, head in cupboard style. Am about to row the flab away even though my legs still ache from the unexpected medieval stairmaster workout yesterday

CheeeseOnToast · 16/04/2010 16:43

Thanks Coco!

and gizza go on your scales

AnnDaloozier · 16/04/2010 16:46

ndp do you think your excercising is getting a bit ott? a bit obsessive?
tell me to fark orf if you think so

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 16:46

We appear to have had some casualties on this thread. Where is Statto Undertone? And LargeGinandTonic? Come on out ladies and face the wrath of su and her new shoes...

isthatporridgeinyourzone · 16/04/2010 16:51

Ann - everybody has a couple of weeks when they don't lose. C'mon woman - what's the alternative? GETTING FATTER? You'll lose next week if you keep eating properly and exercising and you'll regret it if you give up now. GET YOUR ARSE INTO GEAR BIFFER.

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 16:56

Isnt ndp having a row-off with her DH?

AnnDaloozier · 16/04/2010 16:56

i need to go back to work

ZoneArmatrading · 16/04/2010 16:56

What's for dinner?

dinkystinky · 16/04/2010 16:58

I am having a large G&T and a couple of slivers of pizza and an enormo salad. DH will trog the rest of the pizza.

ZoneArmatrading · 16/04/2010 17:07

Oh lovely. I can't booze for a week. Antibiotics.
I am too much of a lady garden issues to say what for.

NomDePlume · 16/04/2010 17:07

lol ann. Only in the sense that I did naff all and now I do something every day (pretty much). Not obsessive, just half an hour to 40 mins a day (or more like 6 days a week as I've missed a couple). Isn't that what is recommended anyway ? I will let you know if I turn all sinewy and stringy a la madonna.

Dinky, yes, DH and I are in competition, I am 5,000 metres ahead (hurrah).
