Big Boys Need Love Too!

Gem,

hhhmmm...I KNOW I would have talked forever, and not to mention, when I am nervous I talk really fast . Yeah well I just want to be on my way to losing again....I have almost gained the 2 stone I lost now, but that is ok. I am just 2 weeks from half way there, and am doing much better than last time...so i figure I will only gain a total of 4 stone...and then of course once the baby is here, it should go down to 2 or so, which I will be ok. I am still being careful but having what i want within reason. Little bits...but mostly fruit and veg. hehehe.
 
Morning all. What a looooong day yesterday was! But so worth it. Gem and I travelled first class there and back which was good as the trains were packed but we got leg room! We finished up the day by having a drink at station as it was one of my colleagues birthday so we stopped by for one before heading off home. I am now watching The X Factor which I V+'d yesterday
 
Thanks for your company Taz. It was indeed a good day x
 
Hi guys. Well my voice still isn't here. I'm hacking and coughing and wheezing away. The morning has been a rather busy one, even though i was told that it was OK for me to have an easy day of it because I was ill. In fact I was told I didn't have to come in, but it would mean somebody else covering, and it being an easy day i don't mind. However it hasn't been an easy day so far, and has involved several phone conversations that were a little less than successful at times as i croaked away, ha.

yesterday was truly lovely. it was really nice to meet everyone. It wasn't like meeting new people at all. which was to be expected i suppose but was a bit strange. it was lovely to see what gem looks like :D

and everyone was looking fantastic. and i really don't think any of us looked particularly overweight either (and elle is really skinny :p) which isn't bad for a weightloss gathering :D hee.

i had a great time. can't wait to do it again. and i apologise for never shutting up. i chatter a lot when i'm excited :)

hope you had a good time at your mate's party elle. you too taz. see you all again soon :D

Don't apologise Abz, it was great that you chatted so much. I had a feeling you and Elle would be 'talkers' and I wasn't disappointed! If none of us talked it would have been a rather boring meet! Can't wait to see you all again
 
Same here wot she said above. You didn't talk too much Abz. We all chatted away together and the next meet will probably just the same. We just have to decide where and when and find out who else wants to join us. Thanks everyone for a lovely day (especially Elle - our tour guide) x
 
Well now you've all made me blush, i'm sitting here as red as a tomato! heehee. and i'm NOT skinny lol, abzzz, silly. it was excellent seeing you all, and i was KNACKERED going back into brum later on for my mate's birthday but, girlies, SHE LOVED THE TOP! HAHAHA. And my other friend em loved it and wanted it for herself. Thank goodness as it was such a bother getting it - it took loads of searching :p

glad you all got back ok, it's nice that gem and taz could travel together - next time tyn has to come & join up with abz.

loved you all you're great, we made an excellent motley crew.

p.s. no ticket thankfully :)
 
Hey guys...Thought I would make you laugh and put a pic up of my tea tonight....mind you it is a bad one...it is a chicken roast, with loads of veg, but the carrots and parsnips are glaze. I was starving as I didn't eat hardly anything all day, so by the time dinner was done I could have eaten a horse! I ate all of it minus a small bit of broccoli. *LOL* But I did stop when I was full...it just took a while...=-)
 
Jenn - That looks delicious. I've not eaten yet (dinner cooking). I'm having stuffed butternut squash. x

Elle - Glad you survived the party and the top was successful. Good that you didn't get a parking ticket after all your effort to sort out the parking fees. Hehe, yes what a motley crew we were and what a good day x
 
Gem...it waas gorgeous...OH is a fantastic cook. The chicken was perfect and juicy...(LU ate my chicken skin) but I only managed the leg and a sliver from the thigh. I attacked the veg first so I didn't have much time for the meat. *LOL* I did say to him..."hey why didn't you do this for me LAST time I was PG. *LOL* The veg was really nice...with home made gravy from the chicken juices...it was fattier than i would normally eat, but like I said it was a one off...and absolutely scrumptious!
 
Evening Gem, what is your BNS stuffed with?

See recipe in my albums Taz. The one in the picture has cannolini beans but tonight's had organic mixed beans, red onion, garlic, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, pesto, philli cheese, seasoned with basil, chives and black pepper - it was yummy. I did 2 squashes so I can put one back for tomorrow or the next day. x
 
My stuffed squash and salad was superb - I wouldn't swap x
 
oh my god. either the burger or the squash would do me. tomorrow is most definately going to have to be a chicken day after weigh in. argh!! hee.

i got to leave work at 6 instead of 7. am just about to (finally) head off to bed. finished the back of my mate's tank top that i am knitting. now worried it's going to be MILES too long as it's almost long enough for me and she's only five foot 2... ah well. i can always take it up... with a horrendous amount of faff... we'd just have to shrink it in the wash :D
