Bring it on.....

Thanks luv,
I prob should go to doc as I have still been having lots of th but My docs are absolutely hopeless - Even though I sometimes don't go for years at a time, they don't give me the time of day even when I have a real issue. Last time I went was back in October or november - pelvic and back problems suddenly flared up - I was in total agony, could hardly walk at all and it was painful to even sit or lie down - the woman baisically turned round and said it was because I was so fat And to go away and lose weight-I could have punched her as it was after I had lost quite a bit of weight and my whole weight problem came on as a result of being unable to walk for many months when my pelvic/back probs started not vice-versa grrr! Sorry for the rant - they just drive me mad!!

Thats exactly how I feel about doctors. They are absolutely useless and a total waste of time. I really have to be on my death bed to go see one.

Another Friday over and done with - weekends here again - I am determined to find some ME time this weekend! Even if it's just sitting in front of the tv for a couple of hours - Im gonna do it - the only TV I've watched in over a week is snippets of cbeebies as my sons been watching....I need to reclaim my sanity!! I can but hope, and to be honest I may be beyond hope sanity wise.

Diet wise alls good, but I must confess I did hop on the scales this morn so no hooting for me today!! I will be better tom.

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Ooooooh for a lie-in! Alas I have mini-human alarm clock who takes huge offence if I try and sleep beyond 7am and in the way in which some alarms start off quietly and get progressively louder - he starts with gentle tapping and whining and ends up jabbing at my eyes and screaming the house down!

*TMI ALERT*

Morning all!

Well, I woke up this morning and had...aahum.....a very productive time in the bathroom department (sorry)! This being the case I absolutely could not resist stepping on the scales - surely they would have to have moved after that! Alas - still no joy after so many days of being a good girl diet wise! - I think the journey from here on in is going to be a slow one.

Scales wise I am gonna aim for a pattern of 2 days of Hooting followed by one day of weighing...not only because I'm weak when it comes to the scales, but also because If I leave it a whole week to WI and then haven't lost anything I think it would derail me, whereas I can manage psychologically if its just a few days - but hopefully it is enough to break the obsession.

....forgot to mention....I am now running at critically low levels of packs now and am just not in a position to place another order at the mo. I am thinking of trying to eek the packs I do have out with the Biggest Loser bars (which I am doing already) and perhaps some of the asda measure up meal replacement shakes. I was studying the packs for a long time last time I was in store - the tetra packs of their shakes were terrible - loads a sugar etc., but the powder wasn't too bad - not really that different to the ingredients of the exante packs with equiv vitamins/nutrients and costing a grand old sum of 4 quid for the equivalent of 9 shakes!

I know its not ideal to be mixing plans - but its all I can really do at the mo and is better that giving up now......

 

[Divster]

Look at you, not far to go now!

What about buying a weeks worth, would that tide you over if you mix in bl bars too?

 

[Toots]

Hey Cookie - it will be slower coz your within a normal BMI - thems just the facts!!! Maybe it may be time to move up to WS - I know that Cambridge don't let you TS at BMI 25 + 1stone. Think this is double fold - health wise and also the body doesn't have a lot to lose so it clings on to the old Lbs for dear life!!

Gonna have to join you in mixing as I've only gone and left my packs at work Ah well, off to Asda for me - when I can be arsed to get showered and dressed

Sounds like a plan with the weighing Cookie. Definitely better than stepping on them daily at least.

I have a new order being delivered on Monday and its definitely going to be my last one. I refuse to do this to myself again, lol.

 

[TheCookieMonster]

Thanks ladies,

I'm in a real tight spot for a little while - so don't think I can even do the weeks order for a little while fingers crossed by the end of next week things should be a little better.

I'm prob gonna start adding a few low carb bits and bobs into the mix which will up the calories a bit and also have the added benefit of eeaking things out as well.

It is bizarre to hear that about BMI - i'm with a few pounds off a 'healthy' BMI now and yet I am still pretty large! Weight wise I'm now around the weight I used to be when I was a size 10/12 and yet I am now a 16/14 and still have 3 spare tyres round the waist and serious thunder thighs - its strange how our body composition/structure changes with age.....not that I am that old!!

Exercise I guess is my major prob - I used to be VERY fit with plenty of muscle and now I can't do much at all.

Once I start adding bits of low carb food in - I will try to add in a bit of gentle exercise and build it up, but I know that health wise I wont be able to do the sorts of hardcore workouts I used to do 6 or 7 years ago.

I know that they go hand in hand, but I think I have found the losing fitness element of the past few years more depressing in many ways than the gaining weight bit!!

Hello folks,

a good day diet wise and I'm trying to up the water - not at the levels it should be but getting there!

I'm on a bit of a downer tonight, just found out the outside drain is blocked and overflowing into nextdoors back garden - gonna have to wade through the yuck tom to try and get it cleared. And the though of Mothers Day tom is just really getting to me - it's been just under a month and a half since my Gran passed away - we were extreamly close and somehow days like Mother's Day really bring it all back. I'm also really gutted as I know it's gonna be a real tough day for my Mum and I really want to be there to support her, but she lives over 200miles away and various reasons have made it impossible for me to be there with her..... Oh well!

Sorry for the vent!
