Big Boys Need Love Too!

:8855: Two great minds - one singularly brilliant thought :8855:that's all I can say :8855:x
 
turns out im in on the 23rd :'( gutted. ah wellllll. Gem the phrase great minds think alike has never been more applicable than in this situation :p HAHAHAHA.
 
hi guys. how are we all doing? well i wasn't so good lastnight. i had a few glasses of wine and quite a few nibbles. but i didn't have much spag bol. stopped when i was full, and then instead of rhubarb pie for dessert i had a skinny cow lolly. and i ate about a third of the spag bol the others did. so i was rather proud. today i haven't been too bad. we went to the german market and we got cheesy pasta stuff but i could only eat about a quarter of what i was given and the others ate the rest and then i had a bite of someone's garlic bread rather than getting my own and had some mulled wine. i'm now sitting with a jacket potato with a low fat cheese and chive filling and it's about 400 cals. so today hasn't been too bad even though my food choices haven't been too good. i also have a donut from the german market in my bag but i don't know whether i'm going to eat it later or not yet.

also, the friends i hadn't seen for six months couldn't believe how much weight i'd lost. so that's good too.

my scales had gone up rather nastily today so i'm hoping they'll pop down again tomorrow. we've walked around quite a bit today too which will help hopefully :)

Sound like you're enjoying eating Abz. When the novelty wears off you will settle into a pattern and start losing again x
 
well i haven't gone mad gem. today was just poor timing in the eating stakes, ha. but i haven't eaten much and now my friends have gone it will be easier to make my own choices on where and what i eat :) so no worries :)

oh my god. i just threw the donut in the bin. it wasn't divine. it was stale. i'd waited so long to eat it because i wasn't hungry when i bought it that it wasn't very nice. so i had two small bites then threw it in the bin when i realised i wasn't enjoying it. i can't get over it. old me would have kept on munching until it was all gone regardless of whether it was nice or not, just because it was a donut.

i'm so happy with myself and rather amazed with myself also. unfortunately this means that i have to continue with the rest of a very very long shift without anything nibbly. i forgot any of my healthy snackables today... think i may have to go and make myself a cup of tea :)

also it means that my potential cals for the day just plummeted. i don't reckon i've even had a 1000. but i certainly won't have had more than the 1500 i'm allowing myself. so now i just need to work on the water :) bonus :D
 
yep abz i would have done the same as you back in the day! congrats SO much, i bet it feels great. do try and eat what you have allowed yourself. I'm still at work, have been here since half nine so that's what, 11 hours? I'm practically asleep at my desk lol... xxx
 
you poor thing!! why are you still at work??

well i don't know what i've had you see elle. plus there's damage limitation to do for lastnight. i'm feeling very nibbly but i know it's boredom. result in that our security guard is going to tesco in about half an hour and says he'll pick me something up so might get a couple of apples or something and slice them up and snack on those. i'm fancying apples for some reason...

abz xx
 
yeah apples are good! Because we're busy and havent finished yet. i probably wont be out of here by half nine. i can't express how hungry i am lol. x
 
aw babes. is there not something convenient you can grab? now i want yoghurt, ha. i don't know what i want. think i should maybe stick with the apples?

i'm going to make myself a cup of tea and see if that gets rid of the need to snack!!

thanks gem. i'm eating some pineapple at a count of 85cals and will probably have a prune activia to aid digestion as my body is finding it a little difficult with all this new food at 113 and i think that will be my lot for the day. doubt there were less than 200 cals in that donut :D

Grrrr I am in loads of pain today. My knee's are absolutely killing, I'm so glad I have 2 days off work now!

How's all your days been? Gem, sorry you are feeling so down. You need a visit from your daughter to cheer you up!

Elle, calorie counting sucks doesn't it?!

Hows the food Abz?

Where's Jenn today?
 
it's my evening shift. i'll be working until 11 tomorrow as well *sigh*. i'm shattered. absolutely bloody shattered. at least i get to lie in a bit tomorrow. don't have to be up until 10. hopefully i'll nod off again after OH leaves at 7 but i tend to wake up with him at 6 and then just remain awake...
 
Yep Gem i think you're in great need of some family attention. your daughter should definitely visit you and give you a big hug to go alongside the ones you'll get from your grandkids in wales!

calorie counting did suck taz, im glad it was only a week long experiment!! You poor thing, with your knee and all. I also prescribe family attention for you too - you need a hug!

meanwhile my back/nerve going down my leg are still very painful, grrr. and i appear to have somehow bruised my entire left knee (the other leg).

ok, ok, im off to get a hug off my mother...
 
:character00238: Good morning everyone :character00238:

So Opera Winfrey is upset and embarrassed cos she's put on 3 stone in the last 3 years. She says she's abandoned trying to get slim and is gonna get strong and healthy instead. Hmm.... methinks she's found the answer - she may have found a new healthy slimmer lifestyle. I hope so cos she's a very influential woman and could inspire lots of people to do the same :)

I'm gonna potter again today and get myself well - maybe tomorrow too if I need it.

Abz - Sounds like a long day ahead for you again - have a good one :) x

Elle - Hope you get some time to yourself AND a pair of jeans to save embarrassment, belt modification etc.

I reckon you must be psychic Elle - my daughter has the day off today and IS coming to visit me so I might just get that hug :) x

Taz - Good luck for your early weigh in :) x

:character00238: Have a lovely Wednesday everyone :character00238:
 
Morning all, my lie in means that Gem beat me to it today!

Elle - How did you bruise your knee? Sounds like you are also in some pain and discomfort ((((((Hugs)))))) I'm calorie counting for a month while I am doing SlimFast. It's ok but I don't like 'running out' of allowance, that's something that never happens with SW. But I will find out in half hour if it's all worth it!

Gem - yay for visiting day! Don't think my mum will appreciate my visit so much as she is trying to prepare for christmas and I am going to bring over a load of stuff to deliver to my sister as I don't think I will get to see her before christmas :(

Have a good day all

 
I AM psychic Gem! The talent reveals itself every so often... we got two hits of it yesterday lol!

Thanks Taz, the pain in my left knee seems to have gone down a bit now, i have NO CLUE how i bruised it haha. Just one of them things I suppose. I probably smacked it on the radiator in the middle of the night haha.

Gem and Taz enjoy your day with your respective families :) xxx
