This is me and my besti right at the end of the night![]()
Love the eye transfer, looks amazing
Im like a woman possessed on the scales.....grrrrrr! Down another 1/8 of a pound today, think Im worried I've done some damage from the weekend, but all good so far! Its so good seeing 8 stone 5lbs something on the scales!
Was a mad day yesterday with lots of running around & was getting quite stressed with it all & then to top it off, I was walking past my local Boots & put my hand down to a big fluffy Alsation to sniff & he bit my hand, jumped up & started barking with teeth bared - he was leashed thank goodness! My reaction - just laughed, as I think mania had set in by then lol! Had a tooth mark & bit of a bruise, but hand intact!
Todays plans, are cleaning the house this morning & then this afternoon Im having my nails & eyelashes done. Hair is a bit brighter than I normally have it, quite coppery/chestnutty, but I like it!
Hope your hands okay, he didn't break the skin did he? Just goes to show you can't be too careful with dogs... I love dogs but always very wary when I'm running as you don't know how they'll react.
I desperately need some pampering, would love to have my nails done but will have to stick with doing them myself.... unless I can get my sister sister in law to do them, she's great at them but she's trying to get away from doing that as she wants to be a pharmacy assistant now, but its worth asking, don't mind paying her a little bit as she doesn't ask for much and I know she's really good, I've seen some people go to salons that charge a fortune and their nails don't look as good as what I could do myself (and I'm not amazing at it) My hair really needs cutting though and my eyebrows need something doing to them... don't know whether to have them waxed, plucked or threaded... never really done anything with them as they naturally have a nice shape but noticed they're getting a bit wild now :/
All the photos on my phone are just of me and my besti. My friend took a camera and took loads but they are on fb.
Had an amazing weekend. The spa was awesome I had a chocolate massage and a facial and walked up and down the pool for an hour. The strippers were funny they went full way, we were just expecting butts but we got the full whack!
If you right click on the photo's on facebook you can copy the link and put that in the photo thing on here and still post them... but you have to do that from a laptop or computer
Male strippers scare me a little haha, if I were going to see some I'd go for a stage show (is that what yours was?) rather then having one coming and doing a show by himself
Im afraid that doesn't excite me anymore, coz in my job if I had a pound for every one I'd washed, I'd be a very rich lady LOL! Good fun tho!
I remember years ago seeing The Chippendales.....quite tame, but funny!
I'd be scared somebody would pinch Charlie coz she's so pretty!
Yay to multi quoting!
What type of dog is Charlie again? Sorry I know and I know I've seen pictures but I'm not with it today.
I'm getting dog envy, one of the children at schools dog has had 4 puppies last week, they're jack Russell's and I keep thinking oooo they're nice and small for our house.... I'll be very tempted to have one if she says they're struggling once they're old enough... lol
I once walked to tesco with my dog and tied her up outside, shes a pure breed lhasa so oh has told me not to! Anyways when I came out only her harness and lead were tied up. After looking around for her I walked home crying. She was sat on the blming doorstep. Turned out she didnt want to sit outside tesco! Still have no idea how she got out of the harness x
OMG!!! So glad you found her, that is kind of sweet that she went straight home, maybe she thought you'd left her and gone home and didn't understand you were in the shop. I think I would have called the police from the shop...
Vicky you look fab and I must say the hair is gorgeous!!! Your going to look BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day.... Not long now, will be so excited to see pictures!
Kim I just can't believe you've turned into a scale hopper hehehe BUT your doing great! Bad news on the dog biting you though, naughty thing!
So excited to be close to the finishing line now and being able to work my way down the scales instead of them constantly going up! Not sure exactly where 3 st has been gained but I suppose I will see after bubs is here.
I hope you will still have me even though I wont be anywhere near the 9's I need all your support because your all fab.
You'd always be welcome here Nikki, although I bet it won't be as bad as you think. Are you planning on breastfeeding, its suppose to help with weight loss, don't know if it does though, I breastfed and didn't loose weight but I also didn't diet so not really one to comment lol.
havent got any mini treats but i did manage to resist and had a cuppa tea instead. GO ME. My problem is at night once little one is in bed and i grab bar choc to cosy down with a book. Need to stop this esp as i have very little syns left x
Well done on resisting. I always try and save my syns for an evening and its usually chocolate it gets spent on as well.
Girls i am soo hungry today. Will confess that today when i woke up i was really hungy, gave in and had 30g bowl cornflakes. Its not SW rules and its not a HE but its the only thing that will keep on track. Sounds pathetic but thats how it is and if i have to take longer losing weight because iam having cereal then i need to deal with that. Calories will be the same as some HE cereals thought i know the fibre isnt but i am happy with that. I have already eaten my lunch of 2 pitta filled with salad and ham, one was HE and one was synned so goodness knows what lunch will be. Hungry horrace ;o(
Thought of you today, I've not been very well and all I wanted to eat was either toast or cornflakes, I was only saying the other day that I would never eat cornflakes again because of sw and I just couldn't get them out of my head. I've been good though and stuck to plan (only because this week needs to be spot on after last week)
Hi girls, loads of posts to read! All very exciting, a big birthday ( love the garden) a baby (love the bump) a wedding (lovely pics).
It's hard to keep up with ye all!
I'm just back from kettlebells. The instructor was chatting me after and she asked did I want to lose anymore weight that I was 'skin and bone'. I was taken aback as I didn't think I was 'skinny'. I have been giving myself a hard time about maintaining lately as I feel I don't have it under control but maybe I need to chill out.
It's hard to see yourself as thin I think. I was always big as a child and teenager and it wasn't up until I was in my 20's I lost weight and ate healthy and exercised. Then I've had 3 babies in 7 yrs so gain 3 times and lose 3 times. It just seems like my life has been a slave to the scales. No more babies for me lol so perhaps now I can get used to me!
Kim it's mad that your scales keeps going down.....I want that to happen me!!!
I hate it when people say skin and bones, or even skinny... people don't realise sometimes how offensive some terms for being smaller are, what's wrong with saying slim lol.
Im same deb. I have always been big, I went from been age 12 to a size 12 and now im a 10. When I look at photos I think gosh I am looking quite thin but in person I think I need to lose a lot more. I hate it when people say ur skin and bone. Its not a compliment and we have worked blumming hard to get like this!
One more photo for u guys. This is a group shot before we went out. However, we had been drinking 3 hours already!
I've also always been bigger then I am now, the smallest I was when I was younger was a size 10 -12 and I was really happy at that size. When I was early teens I was quite chubby... mum used to always call it baby fat but I knew I was chubby (you don't have baby fat at secondary school lol) but even then I was a size 12 - 14 (14 at a push as well) I lost a weight for my 18th Birthday which was when I got to a 10 - 12. I put on loads of weight when pregnant and it took me a while to loose it, I don't know what weight I was or even what size I was at my biggest as I just ignored it and would squeeze myself into the smallest clothes I could, I think the biggest clothes I bought were a 16 but I had loads of 14's which were too small but I squeezed myself into them saying sizes are getting smaller I'm not a 14 blah blah blah.... I lost weight on my own and got back down to a 12 and again I felt like I looked good and looking back at photo's I think I looked good, but after meeting my boyfriend I put weight on again, not as much as when I was pregnant but still more weight... that's when I then joined slimming world and when I got back to a 12 I still felt big, I look back at those pictures and I'm not happy with how I looked either (which is weird when I look back on other pictures of me being a 12 and I think I look fine) I'm now an 8 and happy with how I look, I wouldn't want to be a 6, I think that would be too far for me and also its harder to buy clothes that size lol.
I've had an awful day today, woke up feeling like I needed to be sick and really hot, managed to get dressed (took me ages though) and forced myself to eat some fruit and yogurt (probably not the best choice but I wanted to stick to plan) dropped little one off at school and plan was to have a nap and hope I'd be better for work, but I ended up needing the toilet (little one had obviously had a bug this weekend which he'd passed onto me) I still felt sick and was thinking of going into work and just asking that I didn't do my usual job and swapped with someone who wasn't left alone with the kids so that I could rush to the toilet without worrying about leaving the kids on their own.... but then I realised how crazy that was and was in so much pain with stomach cramps I called in sick. I'm not ill very often and forgot how painful it is, feel even more sorry for little one now.
I literally slept all day, I got up and had some lunch.. again managed to stick to plan but I hadn't been sick so assumed I'd be okay although I didn't feel like eating much and just wanted toast or cornflakes I was strong.... but went straight back to sleep after, little one and boyfriend popped to the shop and bought me some more cold and flu tablets (don't think I need them but might take some now as I have a headache) some diet energy drink to bring my strength up and some grapes.
I'm feeling a little better now but still have cramps and headache, cramps aren't half as bad as they were earlier, hoping it stays that way and that I'll be better for tomorrow.
Means I'm missing WI and running tonight though, gutted about both as wanted to know what I'd done this week as its easier to draw a line under it and get back on plan, I need to keep reminding myself this is a new week... although don't know if I'll be having chocolate as my syns.... see how I feel later, also not sure whether to have my HEA or not... I should be okay shouldn't I with it being toilet and not sick? Gutted about running as well especially as its hill training today
