:cry:absolutely wow - 150lbs is an achievement in anybodies money.
and look at it this ways, you felt that it was a really shyte week and yet no gain - these can serve to make you whoopass positive about SSing or AAM again.
You seem to have that Jennie dtermination back - keep it up my little chickadee and you will get the rewards that you deserve (and by the way - out all of us - well actually kepp all of us - in the shade of your achievement)

Well done my wonderful friend!
150lbs is some achievement, but I never doubted for one moment that you would make it!
Next stop target!

Just a quick post before bedtime...
thanks for the lovely comments
am a happy bunny tonight as I went to try on the leathers (motorcycling trousers) and they fitted! They are VERY snug but they did up and she said to wear them around the house to 'break them in' so tomorrow I'll be prancing around doing me housework in them!
Had a 100% day on the diet and feeling very chuffed - what a difference a blooming salad and some prawns makes! Saying that - I gave most of the prawns to the dog as I didn't like them that much so must get chicken out to defrost for tomorrow!
Have drunk gallons of water & appleade and only 2 cans of caffeine free diet coke - 3 left and then no more!
Have enjoyed today - busy at work this morning, some visitors there, then home for scrummy lunch, sat and ate it in the sunshine in the back garden, then took the dog for over an hours stomp around the lakes in the sunshine, then home and cut the grass front and back... all Zoe's bedding washed and dried .. and the towels she had strewn around her room too! They're all washed and dried in the sunshine and now folded and up in the airing cupboard!
Had a luxurious bath after all my hard work and THEN tootled off to Bedford to try on the leathers... not only did she give me them, but also a pair of ace biking boots and a coat too! So, all I need now is a helmet and I'm all set... she might be selling one but I've told her my financial situation and to be honest, I think I can get a new one for about the same money so might do that... can't be too careful with lids.
Got home pretty late, made my final pack of the day and washed it down with a huge mug of bouillon, and a pint of water and a pint of appleade! Dog is still knackered from this afternoon and so am I!
Have decided that if the weather is good in the morning I'll take him round the lakes at 7am - set us both up nicely for the day!
Tomorrow is another busy schedule... work, staff lunch (soup for me), hairdressers for Cut N Blow Dry - was supposed to get it foiled again but can't afford it this month... by next month it'll be desperate! ... then tomorrow night it's the motorbike club.. somewhere amid all that I need to make my house look half decent for a very special visitor on Thursday!
Update on S... not mentioned him for a while... still in touch.. sort of... I stopped texting unless he did it first, and then, on Sunday he said he was going to call but I was out so texted him that we would have to catch up another time. lol He sent me a message Monday saying he hoped we could catch up later... lol.. we couldn't... I was taxi for Zoe... not heard from him at all today... hey ho... still like the man but not the lack of comms so will let him be... I am too busy to put all my efforts into him right now. We were supposed to get together some time LAST week and it never materialised... I'm beginning to think there may be someone new in his life... well... if there is then I'm bailing out...
Was thinking of rejoining the dating site but I don't have time so won't ... lol... will keep you posted!
Right, bed time now... 11pm already! argh!! Night night xxxx

Well, I don't quite know what to say in response to all your kind comments... apart from thank you... I really struggled last week to SS and I have to say, sticking to AAM is SO much easier for me so I think that perhaps me and the SS monster may have parted company. Not sure, perhaps AAM will ease me back to it, but I don't think so, and I already feel like I have lost some weight so far this week and am pleased about that as it makes me look forward to weigh in on Monday (which I used to always do - apart from perhaps 2 exceptions).
The leathers need lots of wearing so might shock the neighbours and do the gardening in them, or walk the dog in them... lol... not quite sure the public are ready for that sight just yet! lol
Been a thoroughly ace day although mad busy Woke up before the alarm (wtf!!!) lol , looked out at weather and decided that, as I hadn't actually promised the mutt a morning walk, that he wasn't gonna get one, so did the best thing ever, turned over and went back to sleep. lol
Got up in time to do dishes, wash bathroom mats, vac upstairs AND the stairs themselves.. and tidy round the kitchen a bit too (not that there's all that much mess since Zoe went back to work...).
Work was incredibly productive - I have a project at the moment organising a social event - my favourite kind of work - and I spent all morning getting volunteers and sorting out nitty gritty details... loved it! Staff lunch was even enjoyable! (I had a mug of bouillon as I do feel now that I like to savour my soup more at home in a comfy chair with a pint of water alongside it! ) the others filled their faces with pork pies, cocktail sausages, cheese, rolls, grapes, ham, fruit, cherry bakewells and almond slices.
I just kept thinking about shifting this last 19lbs and how much longer it would take to get onto the maintenance plan if I were to 'indulge' so declined all their 'go on, one won't hurt you' offers.
Got home in time to make a scrummy salad with fish.. so delish I wanted more fish so gave the rest of it to the dog so I wouldn't eat it. Lucky dog! lol I forgot to defrost the chicken last night so it's doing the necessary in the fridge now ready for tomorrow. Was about to tuck in when the phone rang - it was S!!
We had a lovely hour long chat, he has a huge amount on his plate (not food either!) at the moment which easily explains the poor comms. Felt sorry for him in some respects as he is getting very little or none 'me' time at the moment. Still, it was really lovely to talk to him again and he said he'll give me a call again soon. LOL I doubt that, but I may well call him one evening if I'm not busy! lol
Had my salad and then vac'd downstairs.. well, part of it... still have to do kitchen and my little hidy-hole (study).. but that'll only take 5 mins.. lol Polished too! So... very pleased with all that! AND... after salad... went to get my hair done.. I love it!~ My hairdresser cuts it beautifully, she thins it right out for me (I have enough hair to stuff a freakin' mattress - even WITH the massive amount that falls out all the time through the diet!)... we agreed that in 2 weeks my roots are going to be in desperate mode for dying but as I don't get paid until then there's nowt to be done! lol
Then it was a quick trip to the Co-Op for some 'free cash'... don't you just LOVE those signs! lol It isn't free at all! They just don't con you into paying for your own dosh! lol
Nipped to see one of my friends and her 2 adorable children - and they really ARE adorable.. and ended up chatting for the best part of an hour! lol
Just got home in time to answer an important work-related call... lol.. oops.. forgot I'd asked them to call me at a set time! So... that dealt with, it was muffin time! YUMMY!!! That's the second pack of the day and my stomach is gurgling nicely... lol will have another muffin when I get in tonight.
Will do final vac'ing before I head off to the motorbike club in a few minutes - need to change me top first... very cross... fave white top and it has a mark on it! Grrr... think it's from emptying the vac - one of these dyson efforts... lol Ah well... will wash it and hope that Vanish works its usual magic... I can hear my mother now... "oh Jennie...you?... white?... you have to be joking!" :giggle:
Will pop on when home if not too late but think it might be a good idea to get to bed before midnight tonight as feeling a tad tired this evening. Think the hayfever tabs may be making me a touch drowsy.
Not had time to walk the dog today so perhaps, weather permitting, an extra long stomp around the lakes tomorrow early evening might be in order!
I have a fabby friend calling tomorrow and I just can't wait to see her!
Oh, this is going to continue to be a great week! I can feel it in me water! lol xxxxx

Back again!
What a coincidence - I'm off to see a fabby friend tomorrow too
Another busy day in Jennie-ville then, but you're sounding really cheery. I'm so glad that AAM is working well for you and got you back on the straight and narrow, if that's what keeps you going for the next 19lbs, then do it, the end really is in sight though now Jennie and what a marvellous accomplishment that'll be.
Take care & see you soon
