Why Be Normal?
Hi Team --
Happy Saturday! I has a really nice date thanks for asking. He is out with another female at the moment... our DD. He has taken her to Movie for Juniors.
I am internet shopping, getting ready to wrap, pack, etc. for post and under the tree, we'll get the tree out and up today, etc. We are ready to get into full Christmas mode, as we have now survived Thanksgiving.
I hope everyone else is doing well.

Afternoon girls!
Don't worry Butterfly, my fire is lit and the Aga is nearly back up to optimum temperature, so cottage is actually not too bad at the moment (apart from letting loads of cold air in whilst I got the logs in just now)
H2LB - what are we going to do with you?! How's today going?
Shanny - how is the essay writing going? I was terrible at starting things at 2200 on Sun eves ready for submission on Mon's at 0900 when I was at Uni! Even my dissertation was done in the last 3 days before it had to be handed in, despite having a year to do it! I have got to start doing some studying again in the NY though as I am taking advanced wine and spirits exams!
Not done aquacise before. To be honest, have not gone near a pool for the last year. But maybe once a bit of hip/thigh/bum has gone, then I might be tempted to get my cossie back out, although I really struggle to find ones that fit at the moment - need inbuilt bra, but can't get small back size with larger costume - they seem to assume that everyone with a 30-32 back is a size 10 or so.
Very mundane day today - lots of laundry, ironing, cleaning. Tempted to get book out and have a couple of hours in front of the fire, although need to do some exercise.... must not use sore thighs/butt (too many lunges yesterday) as an excuse not to.....
Hope you are all having a good day.

Hi Wadpol, et al --
I have done aquafit in the past and love it. It is great low impact and really tones you up. I am planning to start up again... my DH just has to get out of work early enough to tag team with me. I take our DD to her swim lesson and there is 1/2 between her lesson ending and AF starting, so I get her out and sorted and take her homes for dinner and I do AF. But, lately he has not been getting home from work in time.

Hi Shanny,
We bought UP (a kid's film on DVD from the AF base) and are about to watch it. I am afraid that until 8 p.m. DD runs the house. Then, after 8 (tonight) DH and I will hoover and shampoo the livingroom carpet, as he thinks the carpet smells like our dog (on a bad day). He won't agree to get the tree out until the carpet has been cleaned. And DD wants the tree up!!! So, I think by the time we finish that... we might pop in a DVD or look something on Sky.

Hi all,
I find the portion of Tuna huge too Shanny, to make it a bit tastier (and to substitute my previously much loved mayo!) I mix half the tuna portion with half the cottage cheese portion, and add some 'no salt' season all. Makes a nice change. Hope you're feeling a bit better. We are a sickly bunch at the moment. On that note....
Missing you Nicki, really hope you feel better soon.
Pol, i have to say, i would easily use sore but as a reason to read a good book. Cannot remember the last time i just sat and read, or watched tv, or did anything not house or work related in my spare time.....must make effort to be nicer to self i think!
MM, sharing xmas excitement, i can't wait to get tree up!
H2LB, sorry to see you go, but you need to find what works for you. Whilst i love CD, just the sheer amount of people that look at me in horror when i told them about it, makes me realise just how difficult it can be for some. Don't give in, you can do this, no matter what you choose. Take care xx
I'm having another great day, 100% again, at work at moment, but counting down the hours now until home time. can't wait to sleep. Have started to weigh and calorie count, and its proving quite fascinating. Thinking of buying 'perfect diet tracker' to help in maintenance. Hope you all have fun day. xx

Well there we go! I have managed to turn the one thing I truly HATE about this into something positive! Decided that each time I got up in the night to pee that I would go downstairs and stick some more logs in my wood-burning stove and so keep it going all night. Hoorah - gorgeously toasty house this morning - almost like I have central heating!! Also, the Aga is totally up to speed (although I need to turn it off tomorrow so it can be serviced on Tue), so now have heating in my bathroom from that. Hooray! Only snag is that all of those extra logs on the fire mean that I am going to have to go out in the rain and get some more - a job that I'm not looking forward to as it is horrible out there; really squally.
HTB - Sorry that you are leaving us. Good luck with WW - two girls I work with have lost 3 stone each in the last year on it, with no probs. All of that counting is far too much of a faff for me!
Butterfly - the joys of single life with no kids! If I want to look at my dust for another day, then I can leave it! Must do more cleaning today - can't use cold house as an excuse...although it is chillier now that the curtains are open (no double glazing!)
Was incredibly nibbley last night, so chopped up 1/2 a peanut bar, only for my Mum to eat half of it! It did make me have a long conversation with her about CD, as she was lecturing on not eating chocolate and peanuts because of how fattening they are!! She seems supportive at the moment, but we'll see how long it is before she turns up with cake/biscuits.... She also announced that she was not happy with her 9st BMI of 22 and wants my CDC's number so she can do it too!!!! Anyway, relieved now as I don't have to worry about the dilemma of Sunday lunch at their house today.
Anyway ladies, enjoy the rest of the weekend. If you don't hear from me again, it's because I've drowned whilst getting the logs in!!

Sorry, here are my numbers
Morning Team!
151.6! Not great, but not a gain. I promise to do better team.
Can Wadpol stay on the team, or do we all have to be CD? It seems like weight loss is weight loss... I guess I need to reread the rules. I think I have Sometimers... sometimes I remember, some time I don't!.
