Hey hun... diet is going ok.... as I've lost 2 stone now I do see the odd lapse happening at weekends but I am happy (ish) so I suppose it's not all bad. I just want to get into the 9's.... I have 4lbs to lose and then I will be.... My week starts on a wednesday so gonna be a good one this week.... I am struggling to exersize in this heat. I suppose being an aussie you are used to it, but I don't think us brits are! I have just managed a 20 minute run although I had to stop for breath a couple of times as it is just toooooo hot. I am dripping.

Do we get extra AP's for doing it in this heat?!?!? x x x

 

[BREN]

Yep i looooooove the heat. Give me 30 - 32 everyday please of the year! Some weeks it can be 36 degrees for 3 weeks at a time. Once things heat up over here it just sets in and you get used to it.

I did notice and well done on the 2 stone! Do you eat fish?? I find if I eat tuna salad and then fish again for dinner over a couple of days ( also seafood) I loose that week. Might be a good time to shake the variety up a little. Although you are probably doing this already! Sorry.....

How's your new job?

[Loulabella]

New job? I turned it down my love, was a bit of a nightmare in the end.....nevermind.
I do eat fish yea, might have some tuna for tea now x

 

[Loulabella]

Hello girls... how are we all???

Well, I managed to say NO to a night of boozing... I drove - did have 4 quorn burgers in 2 buns, a little cheese and a budweiser tho... oooops... not too bad as in this heat no appetite today so will be able to save some points to make up for yesterday....

I had my IUD removed due to this expected endometriosis.. it was right before TOTM too so it's left me feeling a bit urgh.... I will spare the details.... fingers crossed the removal leads to less symptoms... I do hope it isn't endo... : x x x x

 

[mommyB]

hi there lou, Sounds like you were really good, quorn burgers are failry low arent they!!

HAve to admit have never fancied an iud. hope things work out there for ya

 

[Loulabella]

It's always been ok. Have had 2 due to inability to take hormones, have had the copper IUD. Unfortunately with the issues I have, they have had to take it out to see what my body does naturally. Oh well. So, I am having to be careful (very!) for a few months or there will be baby numero deux. :S

 

[Aaleigha]

Really hope your body settles without the iud

I know when I had mine out my body took a few months to settle

how is your week going

I am eating really well mostly back to vegetarian roots
of lentils and chickpeas
but DH just bought be the new cranks cook book
so will share some of the recipes as I do them in my diary

 

[Loulabella]

New cranks???? Enlighten me....

Yea, hope it all settles down soon.

I lost a lb this week which was amazing considering only just about to finish TOTM.

 

[Aaleigha]

Lou Cranks do loads of books - I will find the details of mine
they also do a lite cook book that one I am yet to track down

 

[Loulabella]

Cool, thanks hun

 

[omnomnom]

Well done Lou!

 

[Loulabella]

Thanks - now have a BMI of 24

 

[mommyB]

Hiya, how are things in lou lou land?

 

[Loulabella]

Not too bad Mummy. I am fairly tired, my ds is having a funny sleep phase... although it's making me have a funny sleep phase too.... I have a lot of trouble sleeping at the best of time and often relie on zimmers to sleep. He is just up at all hours asking for food and such - growth spurt me thinks.

I was a littled upset yesterday as my PhD Teaching Assistanship was rejected.... ah well, my time will come x

 

[Less Rotund One]

Well done on the 1lb and the healthy bmi....result! xx

 

[Loulabella]

yay

 

[CCPM]

Bummer re the Phd lets hope next time but well done on the loss you will soon be in the 9s how slim is that ..fantastic

M

 

[Loulabella]

Thanks M! Yea, think the PhD was refused as I technically don't finish MSc till September and they like you to have Masters level research methods - ie: dissertation which is not completed until septemeber, I mean, I could fail the MSc which would not look good teaching undergrads now would it! :O)

9 stone here we come....

 

[Curlz]

Hiya Lou.
Hope you have a fab w/end and yer DS is sleeping a little better now xx
