Yeah, only twice though. June 11th for 2 weeks, and October 3rd for two weeks.
I am already fretting about leaving Maisey though, even though my neighbour is going to look after her. I know she will be well looked after, Pat loves Maisey, and Spike will be there too, so she wont be lonely. But Mammy will miss Maisey Moo!
Totally understand Mary.....I still haven't managed to get through a day without crying about Fudge. I miss her so much that it physically hurts.....
Memories are wonderful things though - just think of all the nice times you had with her. xx

Here we go again!
My mum is the same about leaving her 2 cats. They are both over 12 now and she worries about them all the time we are away. When they go away by themselves, I'm sure they're more worried about the pets than us kids!! Anyone that loves their pets is the same though. My hubby jokes all the time that he hates our cat yet when we were away last time he missed him so much!!
Had a good weekend. Food wise I was very good. Got to get back into good habits. Going to think about what I ate when I finished LT and how I didn't miss crisps, choc etc. No crisps for me this weekend and also no snacking in the evenings. It's hard but I am determined to crack this.
Being totally honest, when I said I have a stone to lose, what I should have said was if I could lose a stone before holiday I would be really pleased but I do have a little more to lose than that. Anything I can get off I will be very pleased with. Hoping the new exercise regime and cutting down will take care of that though.

Well done for cutting out the nibbles Bev, that is half the battle. Thats one of the reasons I have gone back onto the WW Core Plan, no nibbles are allowed except fruit and veg if genuinely hungry. On the PP plan, I found I nibbled to use up points.
I know where your Parents are coming from regarding the cats. My Step Daughter said to me last week, you do more for Maisey than you do for us kids, my reply was that Maisey was cute and cuddly - say no more!...........lol.

I may well be considered sad but I never wanted kids and can't actually imagine loving them more than I have loved each of my cats over the last 20 years......it's been nearly 5 weeks since we lost Fudge and I still can't get through a day without crying.....
The love that you get from a pet is just so wonderful .....and they don't answer back!

Bev, good luck with trying to knock off that stone for your hols. You can and will do it. You have great determintation so just think of all your fab holiday gear and how great you will look.
Like you, I have slipped a bit with the snacking. It is a dirty old habit from the old me and whilst I have not reverted to constant snacking it is becoming all too regular. I am sure that once we both can cut back the snacking or at least make them healthier we will be winning the battle.
Good luck for the coming week. When the munchies come, just reach for the water bottle!!

Thanks for the advice, as usual!
Doing the Wii Active again later and might go for 30 minutes this time. I then have badminton on thursday and back to the gym on saturday. Going to do lots of cardio and try to shift some of this excess weight. I really enjoy the gym once I'm there but it's just the thought of it that I don't like. Got to bite the bullet and get back into it though.
Food wasn't brilliant last night but better than it has been. Really going to try hard tonight and not have anything after tea. That's my real downfall time. During the day at work I am really good at the moment, no nibbling or snacking. I'm not actually hungry so not doing it. In the evenings is the time! Got to be strong and knock it on the head.
Daughters arrived safely in Andorra on sunday morning and enjoying the fresh snow, snowboarding. My house is lovely and tidy, just the same when we get home in the evening as we left it in the morning. You'd think I had young kids the state it is in sometimes! Just a lazy, young lady instead!
Anyone watching Biggest Loser at the mo? I find it really inspiring. I think I need the boot camp instructors to get me to do that sort of exercise. Couldn't believe they kicked off Claire last night. Tactics or what !!

I'm watching and enjoying it but being yelled at by those instructors would have completely the opposite effect on me I'm afraid. Maybe I'm just a contrary madam . All that yelling & screaming at didn't seem to have done any of them a lot of good last night though did it? What was going on with those losses??
Bev - do you mind if I make a suggestion?? Focussing on a negative is never really a good idea - we get what we think about - whether we want it or not and the universe doesn't recognise 'No' so focussing on 'not snacking' will only make the wanting to greater. Can you try instead to focus on 'having a healthy evening, snacking on fruit if I really need something' .... if you actually say both of those things out loud you can FEEL the difference in them .. go on, I dare you, try it ... say "I'm NOT going to snack this evening, I MUSN'T snack this evening" and then say "I'm going to have a wonderfully healthy evening, snacking on fruit if I need something" You will feel that the second one is lighter and much more positive therefore making you FEEL more positive too
On the other hand you could just say "go away and mind your own business you silly mare" xxx

Can I ask you what time you eat your dinner at night? Lately we haven't been eating until about 7.30pm so there's no way that I even want a pudding let alone a snack.....ok so it's not ideal to eat that late but if it cuts out the snacking then maybe it's an idea?
Just a thought.....

Thanks for the great advice. Jan, great idea and yes I can hear the difference. Will say that later and see the difference! I know being positive really is the best way and any negative thoughts just bring you down. Forgot all about that philsophy until I read your message!
I usually eat my tea about 5.30pm Sandra, early I know but we always have done that. I will be eating after 6 tonight though cos I will be doing the Wii Active and then showering before eating.
Hubby's being really positive and helpful too, he usually is, really helps too. He said he will be my personal trainer if I want him to but he doesn't want me yelling at him for being too "pushy" towards me during the exercising. Bless him!

Reading everyone's posts it struck me that a lot of you were snacking at night and I initially wondered how you could! Over Xmas Paul's mum was moaning that his dad is always picking at biscuits all night and it dawned on me that it's because they eat too early, like around 5 which, to me, is afternoon tea time not dinner!
I guess that it depends when you finish, or even start, work, Paul is rarely back before 7 at the moment so dinner is later, when I was working I never got back before 7 ish either so I guess that's why we eat when we do! Weekends we tend to eat even later if we're not out.

I was brought up with main meal always at 3pm. Now when I am dayshift I have my main meal at 7pm, but on other days, its usually about 5pm. But if I have my main meal at 5pm I have my lunch about 8pm............god I am waffling here. 1 bottle of wine, 4 hours sleep after a nightshift - dont mix.
Goodnight everyone lol.

I know eating tea around 5 or 5.30pm is quite early but I'm in bed before 10 every night cos I'm up before 6 every morning. I don't want to eat a meal much later. If we go out for a meal it's always about 7pm, no later.
Did the Wii Active last night and found the running pretty hard. I completed it and didn't run too slow but it was hard. Rest night tonight and then badminton tomorrow. Haven't been to a club night for about 3 weeks now because of matches and other things going on. Looking forward to it.
Last night's nibbling was at a minimum. I had 2 biscuits with a cup of coffee at about 7.30pm and that was it. Really good for me. I could easily finish off some crisps, chocolate or nuts at that time but last night I didn't want to. I had a nice, filling tea, a stir fry and was full from that and just didn't want to eat anything else.
