hi!
sorry. I didnt have time to post this morning. i went out with my friend today. just her and me and no kids or hubbys and it was NICE. Didnt even remotely stay on plan...but its ok because I got back down to 217.4 for WI today. lol. (so i maybe ate a krispy kreme donut :break_diet: ) hahah
Its all good though. she's going home (another US expat, like me!) for a week on the 1st of may so i figured we would go out and just not worry about it. so we did. and back on it tomorrow, good and proper. im still focusing on 215 by Sunday.
Oh ...and SIL sent a text yesterday to say she cant make it tomorrow. oh well, house needed to be cleaned anyway
lol

Morning.
Didnt weigh this morning. I will leave it til thursday or friday i think.
Cut my fingers on the stupid grater, making my caulirice to freeze. :/ ow
Started weaving on a cardboard loom. randomly. i was looking at craft ideas for old/crappy yarn and came across that. and its SO fun. I havent a clue about actual technique but if i still like doing this in a few weeks, I might invest in some books. maybe even a real loom! haha
Off into our town to run some errands. I cant believe my littlest will be 2 on Sunday. HOW? lol
Food today:
shake
2 eggs
chili with cheese and caulirice
pancakes

Morning!
The house was a wreck, Lou! LOL.
I dont like quiche....and I dont eat ham, Mel.
Ive got a headache today....but I think its allergy related. I had itchy eyes and throat last night and a sneezing bit....and then again this morning. lol
Ive been busy this morning, laundry, dishes, i rearranged the table and vacuumed the floor. Zoe keeps catching her head on the (sharpish) corner, poor thing. So I put it a bit more out of the way. We dont use it anyway really. Tabby does...and Ive started to use it for weaving. otherwise....I would just sell it now. But yeah. Then I took the rubbish out. The bin men cone on a Wednesday morning. And omg...for the first time in a few years Lyra let me cut his nails! He got annoyed and stressed towards the end but I gave him a few little slices of hot dog (haha...bribery!) and got the last thumb and finger done...then he happily scoffed his treat. lol This is major progress and very good. He went through a phase for a few years where he would GROWL and hiss at me if I tried. So I couldnt. WooHoo.
Food today...
shake
pancake
chilli w/. cheese and cauli
and then a shake or a bar...havent decided yet.

It was terribly foggy when we got up today. And its burned off but its still gloomy. Ah well...this is just the norm up in the NE. lol
Ive been starving again today. bleh. So far had a shake and pancakes. still have my dinner and a bar (i think) for later. I feel a tad lightheaded. But its manageable. Im gonna go make a coffee.
Ive started a new weaving project. Ive decided to make squares and then stitch them all together and make a blanket. Ive just ordered a bunch of yarn on ebay. it was a job lot of mixed balls. haha bawls. thats a horrid word.
anyway. my eyes are starting to itch again. booo!
right. coffee!

Morning
So I obviously didnt weigh today. No point. I will weigh on Sunday for the week.
So my Aunt sent me an email last night and it appears they are trying to get financing for my Granny to go into a hospice. And apparently "it will only be for about 2 months". So I asked my Aunt what she meant by that...is that he way of saying that's what theyve told my Granny she has left?
Yes.
So....the end is coming. Im not totally sure how I feel. I guess because I dont just feel one way or another about it. Its all a mish-mash. Sudden deaths and deaths after long illnesses are very different beasts. My cousin killed himself when he was 23 (in 2000) and that was breath-takingly shocking and just...I dunno. I went into shock. Im not really sure I ever recovered. We were raised (him, his sister and me) more like siblings. We all very close when we were younger. So it was really was more like my brother. Anyway. That was painful and shocking and just...something one never really gets over fully. This....is totally different. Even though both result in the physical end of the person I love. Anyway. I was thinking about her after I read the email from my Aunt at ridiculous o'clock this morning. Think about her through my life (and hers) and what I will remember. How I will remember her. And its fully of life. And love. And strength. And the inability to do a single thing wrong. Ever. Ever ever. She could cook/bake ANYTHING, sew anything, do any craft, fix anything, grow anything.She was independent but she loved. So fully. She took care of everyone she loved. The Ultimate mother. And funnily enough, over the past year or so...she has totally gone off eating meat. This is a Southern woman who was raised on a farm! It was normal and natural to farm the land but also animals. But of late, she has decided that it is totally unnecessary for us to kill another living thing in order to eat it when there are "plenty of other, good, healthy, tasty things to eat in the world!". And she's so right. lol This means so much to me. I love that she isnt your typical southern old lady....she's not ignorant. Anyway Im proud of her. Im proud to be of her. Im going to miss so much having her on this earth. But Im also going to be very happy when she is no longer suffering.
So I have woken up this morning. This in itself is such a gift, right? My babies on either side of me. Smiling. Full of love and adoration. And I need to be here for them. And teach them how to be....give them an example....therefore:
I got up and did our normal routine. We go into the kitchen and get them each their banana and then go into the living room and put Cbeebies on while I make their breakfast. I made breakfast for them and hubby. Once they were all settled and sorted, I set about boiling the eggs for the day. Hubby likes to have one in the evening for his supper now that he is dieting...and its far better than a slice of bread (his other grab and go fave. bleh!) so I like to make sure he has one...and I boil a couple for myself. Zoe likes them too so I boiled one for her today too. Then I made this....
3 packs (got me 24!) of Exante blueberry pancakes. This (along with 1 or 2 eggs) is ALL of my food for today. When this is empty, I am done. So I need to make it last and space it out.
Ive also started on my water, had pint early on. Still want to get a full 3 litres in today though, so Im working on that now.
Ive also decided, no more meat, again. None. I dont care if its easier when we go out to just have chicken. I will either not go (preferable lol) or i will have salad and instead of chicken, I will have it plain or ask for some cheese instead. I am just going to get through the rest of this diet and get on with my friggin life already. Seriously. Im so over pissing about.
So. Here we go. The final push.
In other news....ugh. I have to go into town to Primark for some PJs for the girls. I looked in Marksies the other day and Im sorry but there is NO WAY on this earth I am paying a tenner for ONE pair of PJs for zoe. pfft. lol. And asda dont have the ones with shorts. I prefer those as she gets too hot in long bottoms. but she has to have something on the bottom or she takes her nappy off. LOL
So i dunno when Im gonna go. Not today. Today Im going to just focus on being 100% and Im going to try to figure out what we should do on Sunday.
Have a good day all xxx

Why Be Normal?
Morning!
You sound as if you've made peace with your grandmother's condition. You're lucky (I think) your family keeps you apprised of what is going on with your family. No one wants to "bother" us with anything.
What a lot of pancakes! Amazing. I have a lot of hard oiled eggs on hand. I think I'll have egg salad for lunch.
Most restaurants have a vegetarian option - its not as difficult as vegan.
Here's an idea for Sunday. http://www.visithadrianswall.co.uk/things-to-do/arbeia-roman-fort-and-museum-p715761
English Heritage is free for children.

Well, I have to keep asking and checking in...otherwise I dont really get an update very often. But yeah. Im glad she tells me whats going on. Its so hard being this far away.
Ive had a boiled egg and a couple of my pancakes and its just coming up to 11am. So I think im doing quite well with it. So far. Its the evenings that are the worst for me.
I had to do battle with a wasp this morning. It was HUGE. Easily the biggest wasp we have ever had inside before. And I am deathly allergic (but doc refused to give me an epi pen because i "didnt have a history" of having an issue with them on the system. Total "computer says no" moment. I explained that its because A) I do my best to AVOID getting stung...Duh. And also B.) the ONE incident I did have was when I was younger and as Im not from here.....they wouldnt have a record. But still. No. Theyd rather risk my croaking it, apparently, to save a few quid. Nice one, NHS. LOL. I even offered to pay for it myself. Still, no. *sigh*
Anyway. A nap sounds good today....its gloomy and bleh. And set to get really cold over the next couple of days, apparently. Tomorrow a high of 8 but rain all day and wind (its always windy where i live) so it will feel colder.
We were going to go to South Shields on Sunday (not for the fort, I think Zoe is probably too young to get much of anything out of that, tbh and Segedunum is MUCH closer) for a picnic. They have a massive, gorgeous park over there. But i think the weather is going to be crap. Its supposed to rain. Boo. We might just stick with the original plan of cake and games at home and going to lunch or dinner at Bella Italia. She loves pizza and spaghetti. And they have salads. And then just take the girls to Rainforest Cafe, M&M World and a thames cruise in london when we go for mal's interview.

What a great post and a great attitude you've woken up today with
We should all count our blessings more often that's for sure
your grandma sounds just amazing, I hope I turn out like that (apart from the sewing, I just can't do it!!)
I want a pancake humph for some reason I had eggs on their own today and wish I'd had a pancake instead
Xxx

Afternoon!
Have the girls seen "Rio 2"? I highly recommend it.
So you do American Mother's Day, too. I need to figure out what I want to do. It's supposed to get colder - sigh! It was gloomy earlier but it's sunny now. However, I can't go garden because I've planned to meet a friend at Cineworld. We are really getting value from our unlimited cards (£15.90 a month). This will my third film in three days: today's film "The Other Woman".
