Sounds so grim. A lot of people seem to complain of stomach stuff on the first few days of starting on packs because of the vitamins in the packs but I think it seems to pass.
Have you got any bars that are the crispy dry ones rather than chewy? Hope you feel better soon.

Afternoon,
Glad you're better.
Eggs? An omelette with eggs, veggies and some low fat cheese?

Yeah. Im gonna go for some eggs or quorn with veggies and cheese later on. Ive not been great foodwise today. But I havent really cared much either. ive slept loads and just feel So worn out. i wasnt this exhausted and drained even after having my girls! whatever this was...it really did a number on my body. maybe made worse by the fact that Im on vblcd and had been consuming so little before i got ill...but regardless...eeesh.
ive had a packet of quavers, 2 pieces of greek bakalva that our greek friends posted (and it just so happened to arrive today!), 2 small slices of Zoe's left over pizza and a jaffa cake. ha! oops?!
oh well. i will back to it properly tomorrow. But I would still like to limit the damage is possible. Gonna have hubby get some quorn on his way in, i think. i really fancy some fajita style with mixed veggies...sans tortillas. lol
so yeah...appetite is back
need to drink more though. havent had enough to drink today and am definitely dehydrated.
gonna have hubby get some colour before. and i may do that tonight. strip the colour out then gonna get a semi-permanent hair colour to go over the top.

Afternoon,
I'm back from my dog walk . . . When I set out it was sunny, then clouded over during my 45 minutes walking, and now it's sunny again. Go figure!
Years ago I tried WW and the leader "confessed" to eating a whole box of Jaffa Cakes - but then she said she checked the points and was able to not go over her weeklies.
So, between nada yesterday and what you've had today -- it's probably a wash. Where you "lose" is being unwell probably kept you from your usual active lifestyle.
You've decided to color it yourself?

yeah...just weighed myself and its up to 221.4 lol
yep gonna do it myself. the only day i can really have it done at that salon is friday because theyre closed on mondays (hubbys off mondays and wouldve been perfect) but im going out this friday night and i was going to try to get my friend to babysit so hubby and i could go out the following friday. and frankly, between having to wait a few weeks and then having to pay another £60+ for colour correction....id rather just do it myself. so hubby just sent me a text saying he picked up the colour b4 that i had asked him to get. i called our little boots and asked if they stocked that and she said they did so i asked her to put one aside and i would send hubby in on his way home from work. she said ok. so i sent him a text with a picture of the box and told him the lady in boots is holding one....to just ask at the till for it. and he said ok. about 15 mins later i got a text "i got your hair stuff" haha awww he's a dream sometimes. he really is.
anyway. im gonna have a go at that tonight. just strip it first. and then probably have a walk up to morrisons tomorrow to get a box of colour to go on top. if its sunny, we can all go. its the best part of a mile, each way. and we all could use the fresh air and exercise. lol

So I put the Colour B4 on my hair. And its got another 40 mins or so to go before i rinse it and move on to the next step I feel like a kid on xmas morning. Totally excited and unsure of what Im gonna get! I know its going to be horrid! haha And I will absolutely have to colour over it. But Im still excited!

I've never used a stripper. I'll be interested in seeing how it turns out.

Morning
WI day - 222.6 - i'll take it! Not sure how accurate it is as I was so ill day before yesterday but...its fine! thats 2lbs off for the week. I might actually make my mini mini goal of being under 220 by the expat dinner on friday. So long as I dont have any straggler lbs that are waiting to go back on. i woulda thought that if they were gonna they wouldve by now...esp after what I ate yesterday. Heres a not completely comprehensive list....because after a point I just stopped caring and keeping track. lol :
at least 3 pieces of baklava
a huge plate of quorn with veggies in a tomato/cheese sauce.
2 crumpets
at least 4 ritz
1 packet of quavers and 1/2 packet of french fries
at least 4 chunky chips from the indians...possibly more like 6...hmm :/
a handful of those twix mini bite things.
a few of the mars mini bites things.
see? not great. hahaha
so
Today Im back on plan. Feeling great. Lovely sunshiney day. Love my hair (not the cut still but the colour makes it much more bearable) I would highly recommend colour b4 if you ever want to change/strip your hair colour. its amazing stuff, you guys. seriously. love love.
anyway. so today im gonna try to get us out for a walk. Zoe barfed up her dinner last night. But..she's one of those kids that sometimes just randomly pukes. So when she does it (unless she's clearly ill...fever etc) you kinda dont know what to expect. So we tend to get towels ready and just keep an eye on her and hope for the best. haha. that was the scenario last night. she puked around 8. and then..as soon as she threw up...and was cleaned up...she started tearing asssss around the house. happy as larry as though nothing untoward had happened! haha. so around 9 we gave her a bottle of milk (she always has one before bed) and kept an eye on her. we gave it to her before putting her in the bed because im terribly lazy and was hoping that if she was gonna barf...she would do it by 9:30 and then i wouldnt have a bed to clean up as well as her and where ever she barfed. haha. She didnt! So at 9:30 we headed to bed and she slept though the night like a dream.
I actually feel refreshed today! I feel great! and she seems fine! although Im still a little apprehensive. I gave her a bottle of milk (i hope she goes off bottles at 2 like her sister. im so tired of them damned things! haha) and a jaffa cake and a half a banana this morning. I know..not the most nutritious breakfast. But i figured she would actually eat them and then I could test the waters, so to speak. So far so good.
So today. Provided she's ok...we are going to try to get out for a walk. The shopping is being delivered between 9:30 and 10:30 - so maybe after lunch we will head out. I hope its still sunny by then!
Food today for me:
banofee pancakes (i dunno if its just me...but these make really awkward pancakes. they stick to the freakin pan. and if you make the pan too hot to start with..they burn! argh lol...still..love the flavour!)
chili
spag bol
coconut bar
2 egg omelette with 1 light cheese slice
782/57
and i must get my water down today. im going to aim for 3L a day. I was having 4L but i was actually feeling bloated and bleurgh. And I got CANS of coke zero so that I dont have too much. It was too easy to just have a little through the day when I had the bottle in the fridge. So i will have ONE can a day and thats it.
220....Im coming for ya...
Have a great day all xx
And Lou....Happy birthday to L! <3 xx

Havent been on plan today. but havent gone completely off the rails either. its so hard when hubby is home :/
i had a small greek salad - feta, olives, cherry tomatoes cucumber and mixed leaves. and 2 scrambled eggs with half a slice of dairylea light mixed in. i also had 2 small pieces of baklava. :/ fail. lol. im having some quorn and veggies for dinner. and we are supposed to be out tomorrow. going to the metro centre to return my jeans from evans. zoe is fine but tabby is sounding hoarse and a bit grumpy. not sure if she's coming down with a cold or not. we shall have to keep an eye on her and see how she is in the morning. if shes not well, hubby will stay home with her tomorrow. 7
trying to wade through the visa requirements is really causing me an actual headache. since i cant prove that i can support hubby (and ensure he wont be dependent on the state) we had planned to use my best friend (computer programmer...makes bank) as joint sponsor. but the requirements and form is stuff is all so confusing. :/

Zoe had a completely ridiculous, nearly hour long, full on tantrum after she woke up from an impromptu nap. Like...screaming bloody murder,throwing things, bashing her head on the floor, flailing limbs, absolute fkn meltdown kinda tantrum. All this while I was also trying to make dinner (and not burn it) and whilst dealing with her older sister who is still hoarse and insanely exhausted (and therefore completely grumpy and unwilling to listen to me).
And although I briefly thought about reaching for the last chocolate frosted donut...i didnt. i said to myself "self: you are reaching for it because its your drug. and you feel like you need something to take the edge off...because the kids are testing your patience. the donut itself will do NOTHING to help. and if you eat this...you will be even MORE upset tomorrow. so just dont"
and i didnt.
if only i could be this sensible and successful every time.... *sigh*
and i still really fkn want the donut.
(but i wont. dont worry).
lol

crumbs that sounds like what is known as in our house as 'a Layla' haha where do they get the energy for these fits of rage??!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes she had a lovely day and is in bed in her new onesie (she's got 4 now she can't get enough of them) it's so warm that she doesn't need her blanket it's a bit like the baby sleeping bag she used to have haha. She was such a wriggler she'd always kick her covers off, whoever invented those sleeping bags is a fricking genius!
You're right the donut wouldn't have changed anything, except to make you super annoyed at yourself and even more grumpy and exhausted - good going! Now get OH to eat it quickly so you don't have the option
Hope Tabby's cold doesn't turn into a biggie, fingers crossed for just a sniffle (I just typed 'sniggle' and deleted it three times in a row I think I'm tired)
what does your hair look like now? pics please!!
