Alli takes the scenic route to maintenance

[herewego]

Well it's DH's turn to be sick now and his tummy bug is, naturally, much worse than what the rest of us had!

I still managed to make packed lunch for the kids, walk Molly etc whereas he is on a heap either in bed or on the sofa moaning constantly. He hasn't been sick since Friday night and has just eaten a huge meal so I'm struggling to appear sympathetic!

Otherwise everything's fine. I went to see my CDC yesterday and according to her scales I'm 1lb over my revised (higher) goal weight. I'm thinking I might try and get going with 1200 again to get down to my original goal of 10st 4lbs. I'll see how I feel next week when we're all back to normal.

Only 3 weeks now until we go on holiday! I can't wait just to get away for a week and relax. I just went through my giant jar of random money and all in all there's around £100 Euros in there in loose change - am very pleased with that as I was a little worried about spending money. It won't last long but it's better spent than sitting in the jar for years on end!

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! We're finally chilling out (with the exception of DH) after taking Molly for a long run and play in the woods.

Your poor husband, am sure every other hubby in the land is feeling his pain and suffering!

Where are you going on holiday?

Good luck on 1200, am sure you will do great - you are always so determined!

Poor OH. I think you are very unsympathetic and should be tenderly mopping his fevered brow and making him appealing little titbits to eat.....That's what I would do for mine if he was ill and I wasn't so full of cold/can hardly see for my eyes running/terrible sore throat/ banging headache/have the worst cold in the world, far, far worse than anything anyone else has ever had, ever. Sniff. And the nosebleeds - well, pass me a bucket!

Still, I suppose that men just aren't as stoical as we are when we are ill.

Hi All!

Thanks for checking up on me! Sorry I've been away for a few days - they've been spent eating my weight in chocolate. I just couldn't bring myself to come on here as it would mean facing up to what I was doing and I didn't want to.

I'm hoping to be back from now on though and will catch up with your diaries tonight as I don't have time at work.

My days of bingeing was set off by my brother telling me he has type 2 diabetes. My Mum already has it and suddenly I realised that I'm likely to get it too. I know it's not the end of the world but it got me thinking about the amount of sugar I'm eating and so I decided to cut out sugar - well just the thought of restricting my intake caused me to binge on it instead :sigh:

I'm going to try and stick to a 1500 cals for a few days to see if I can get back on track without too much effort.

Hope you are all doing great! I haven't checked your diaries for ages and have to get the kids ready now - but will have a good read tonight! I've missed you all and now wish I'd come here earlier as I might have been able to break the cycle earlier

Here's hoping today will be a good one for all my friends at Minis!

 

[Bess]

Glad you are back Alli, we wouldn't have let you get away so easily you know!
I'm sure we could have you called over the Tannoy at Euston if needs be!!

Sorry to hear about your brother, I can understand as well that it will make you concerned about your own health. It was health scares that made me turn to CD in the first place. xx

 

[herewego]

So far so good today! Having said that, I had a croissant in Starbucks this morning but will still be comfortable within my allowance as long as I don't go off the rails tonight. Am drinking lots of water to try and flush out all the nasty stuff I've eaten over the past few days!

Hope you're all doing well!

Does that work then? Well done today, stay strong tonight, my worst time too.

 

[herewego]

Nope doesn't work at all but I have to convince myself to drink all that water somehow!

Have just demolished some ice cream so calories have gone off the scale....

Still - have had an hour walk with Molly today - surely that counts for something...at least a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream...

Oh yeah, must do.....teach that dog to throw the stick while you run and fetch it!!!

:8855: Me - run??? I don't think so...I'm a walker (stomper) me. I nearly had to get in the local river yesterday as Molly was having a swim with another dog and I couldn't get her out. Decided to walk off instead and eventually she realised I was gone and ran up to me just so that she could shake the water off her coat right next to me

Still not in control - not even in the slightest, but keep trying. I've bought grapes and peppermint tea to work along with my lunch time soup so if I can just stay away from the vending machine I'll be fine. The real challenge is tonight though seem to be going through a popcorn phase at the moment. Must sort that out.

Weight is still OK, but I know it won't stay that way if I carry on like I am now. My clothes are feeling tight so I'm obviously bloated even though it's not showing on the scales.

Only a week until we go to Spain - the weather won't be great but at least it's a break and the hotel has a spa and I'm planning on using it as much as I can afford to

Right off to make some more tea

 

[Bess]

Spain? Sunshine.....ahhhh, lovely.

 

[Katycakes]

Oh, Spain.... I have never been, but it sounds amazing. It sounds HOT!!!!!
