Caledonian Dukan

Your poor daughter that must have been pretty intimidating! Far too many people are out to cause trouble - honestly they need to face something in their life that makes them focus on the important things!!! GRRR.....
Good luck for weigh in tomorrow - hope TOTM doesn't affect the scales too much but remember be positive if it is a STS cos that will be the reason!!! Hows your little mans elbow doing????? On the mend I hope. x
 
He's doing ok, thanks for asking Trudy - poor wee thing has a virus as well that has him off his food (sore throat like me) and with a temperature. Anti-biotics are kicking in now though and he's getting more used to his cast. He's a brave wee boy. I've been trying to find food that he can manage, he even turned down a doughnut earlier (they are his FAVOURITE thing!) which means he's ill! Lots of hearty soups to build his strength up and lots of calcium too.
 
lots of nasty virus's round atm raging temps in kids etc :(
 
The trouble some people make......and they enjoy it, sad b******ds. Hope your feeling better today CD and how many more sleeps till MrCd home? xxx
 
You've every justification to feel angry at them, it would be difficult not to be upset.

But maybe they were also v worried, upsetbut about the little lad breaking a bone whilst in their care, probably they felt guilty, even though these things happen and just went into panic mode themselves. Best leave talking with them about it until you feel a bit calmer.

At least he's ok, he probably be proud of his bandages when the shock wears off! And well done you for resisting diet temptation!
 
Well, hard not to be disappointed - a plus of 1 1/2lbs this week puts me at an overall gain of 1lb in the last month of trying really hard. Feel really low to be brutally honest. HAVE to up my exercise, somehow. Not that easy on my own with young children. Just want to give up and hide under the duvet.
 
Thinking of what tolerateds I have - next batch of muffins wont include wheat-bran and I'll reduce the sweetener to 1tsp a day rather than 2. And only low carb veg on PV days. That's it, there's nothing else I can do.
 
Oh CD you said yourself it is TOTM so maybe try weighing again next week - really don't think you can do much more!! Also lovely maybe accept that you are at your TW - he (the good Dr) says it shouldn't be such a struggle.............. My gut instinct is that maybe your body has gone into starvation mode a bit and perhaps by going into conso it will kick start the weight loss again as it did for Chris..... I don't know but just a thought. Hate to think of you being soooo down - chin up skinny one - you can't deny it now - we have all seen the evidence - you are super duper skinny!!!! LOL x
 
Thanks guys, I probably am at TW but I would really, really, really like to be half a stone less for a little while even if I can't maintain it long-term. It would give me such pleasure. Yes, clearly it is going to be a struggle but I'll keep trying for a few more months. Upping my exercise somehow is only going to benefit my health after all. Walk 5 miles per day 5 days a week but think my body has got used to it! I'm thinking a mile swim 5 days a week as well would help. Just need to fit it in.
 
Lordy lordy CD - you look after all your children - think that is enough exercise for anyone!!! LOL - I understand your want just worry about you depriving yourself of quite a lot - but we are with you whatever you decide cos you is the boss!!! LOL! Might help to read the conso section of the book (if you haven't already/recently) it really put a few things into perspective and made me understand the Dr's choice of a what I consider to be a high TW for me...........
Hope you are feeling a wee bit better - onwards and downwards!!! xxxx
 
CD why don't you see what next week brings & if there's no change then maybe go into conso. Chris & Ellie have both lost weight whilst being there x
 
Conso isn't for me yet - maybe if I'm still around this weight in 6 weeks but I'm stubborn!
 
Just hope it doesn't have a negative effect on you but you know yourself best x
 
Thanks, it is having a negative effect on me but I would feel like I was giving up if I went into Conso now and that would have a much more negative effect on my psyche! My self-control is the only thing that keeps me going at the minute - if I feel at all like I've failed I worry it would be wine, chocolate and 3 stone back on within months. If only it wasn't going to be another year of Mr CD working away.
 
Awwww hun you are far from a failure you've done fantastic ! You do what's right for you though.

Has Mr CD taken that job then ? I must have missed the post x
 
CD, you dont half set yourself some personal goals........youll slip between the floor boards if you carry on and lose another half a stone........your a looser, a fantastic looser and look fab as you are xxx but like Trudy said your the boss and what ever makes you happy.......what you do in a day is amazing kids,walk run a home.....we only get 24 hours hear and i dont get enough time soooo CD your clock must have 26 lol Have a great Monday xxx
 
Yes, my husband has taken a fantastic new job that means we still wont be together :(. I'm actually really pleased for him, it's what he has always wanted to do, will give him great stuff on his CV and at least it is in Scotland so I don't have to worry about his safety (the last job he was looking at was in South Sudan :eek:). What's more, he was ASKED to do the job rather than simply being the chosen applicant which I'm very proud of. He'll be based on the Isle of Lewis but will also spend some time in Edinburgh so will live with us when he has to work in Edinburgh and we'll go back to the Island for every school holiday. It's do-able, and in this economy you are lucky to have any job! So, I am going to remain positive even though I'll be on my own with the kids still and can't help but wish it was me that was getting my perfect job rather than being stuck at home looking after the kids! My time will come though!

Today was meant to be PP but turned into a PV this evening unexpectedly as father-in-law took us out for dinner. A lovely Italian but he was paying so I didn't want to ask for steak - I had a large mixed salad with no dressing and picked out all the olives! Gorgeous coffee afterwards too. Now tomorrow will have to be PP again.
