Cheb....Too old to get home with the Dawn Chorus!

[Cheb]

Hellooooo

Back with you now! Had a lovely 'Christmas' not gained much weight either which is a bonus, will weigh in the morning but did have a sneaky peak earlier and I may have only gained a couple.

Started back on my packs this morning, feel fine in fact I've only had 1 pack don't think I can face more than 1 more now so maybe I'll have an extra tomorrow. Funny how some days you're absolutely desperate for your fix and clockwatching, other days you just forget. Shame I don't have many forgetful days!

Supposed to be out for a meal on Friday but not too sure if I will go, bit bored of food having eaten to excess over the past few days! Ah well see how I feel on the day.

Hope you're all ok.

Oh and by the way I've now seen Dirty Dancing and........didn't reckon much to it! Is it just me?

 

[MandyB2]

Hi Hun.. great to see you back and to hear that you've had such a good time

I used to love Dirty Dancing years ago, but I saw it again recently and wasn't half as impressed

Take care and have a good day tomorrow

much love xxx

Morning

Well, jumped out of bed and onto the scales this morning after squeezing every drop of wee obviously! Only gained 2lb Really delighted I was more restrained than I gave myself credit for. Maybe I have learnt something after all. TBH the novelty of munching on all the goodies, you know chocs, sweets, nuts and crisps which were scattered around our lodge in little dishes, soon wore off.

Blitzing the house today ready to get the christmas decs out. DH was keen to get the tree today but I can't honestly see the point in decorating a room that presently looks like a bomb site, cos it's filled with DH junk!

After school we're going to see The Santa Clause 3 with the kids. That should put be in a good mood ready to face the music at parents evening tonight Why is it I always get the feeling that it's actually me being asessed?

Have a good day!

Hi Cheb,

Well done on being away and doing so well...only 2lbs. it is good to see that the old sugar and chocolate does not have the same hold on you.

Now to get through the next few weeks and feel the same

Parents night does feel a bit like being tested, guess especially when you have spent the last year helping with homework and being so involved we do tend to take it all perosnally. Their failure and success does feel like our own.

Love Mini xxx

Hi Mini

Thanks for popping by How are you doing at the moment? I'm finding the run up to Christmas quite tough, it's traditionally a time for eating it would seem!

Hi

Hang on in there June, well done on snubbing those horrible biscuits yesterday.

Thought you looked well.....sort of pink and glowing!

Hi Cheb

How's it going with Mr WP?

Well done on the damage limitation! Most impressive! Xx

Morning

Argghhhh, I'm feeling stressed!!!! When did Christmas suddenly get so close???? Don't feel organised at all and I hate feeling the pressure of the clock ticking. Most years I get sorted early, that way I can enjoy the run up to Christmas. I have time to meet with friends, trips to the panto, time to sit and be creative with the kids and make decs etc.

Not sure what's happened this year, not bought all my presents yet, not written a single card, not done any wrapping, not sent any parcels to friends abroad, not written any letters to go inside cards, not sorted out the turkey order, not bought the panto tickets........

OMG feel even more stressed now I've written it down!

Dietwise? mmmm kinda hanging on but it's sooooo hard. I'm having packs but with added extras and an occasional meal (like tonight!) Not the right way I know but hoping to keep things stable before I knuckle down properly in January......

Have a good day, I'm off to do some deep breathing exercises.

Cheb, I caught have written that myself

 

[Cheb]

Hellooooo

Ahh poor diary been neglected for 2 weeks.....just enough time for me to have gained 30 stone at least

Well Christmas arrived and was jolly nice and the kids loved their pressies and I loved mine and DH was truly peed off cos he didn't get any.....not my fault he chose to buy me stuff.....we agreed not to buy for each other and it seems I can keep a promise and he can't! Tee Hee, had to make it up to him in other ways.

Terry the Turkey staggered through the door on Christmas Day expertly cooked by my Dad, my oven can't cope so he cooks it and drives him round. Reckon he thought we'd invited the whole street. So there we were on Boxing Day, DH and I, contemplating what to do with the rest of Terry. We came up with a cunning plan and took him with us to my SIL, for the traditional Boxing Day buffet......then we did a runner and desserted him in her kitchen ha ha her problem now!

Anyhow I'm back on the packs tomorrow, if I wait until January my lardy bum won't squeeze into any work clothes so I have to get back on the wagon NOW!! Had the girls round tonight for a leftovers night, so that's the cheese finished and the xmas pud was put in a box and sent round for Looptiggers hubby!

Hope my lover, Will Power is back with me for the next few days until I get back in the pink. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, looking forward to catching up with your diarys tomorrow.

Cheb, signing off and settling her large bum back on the wagon ready to start on the journey again.

 

[DQ]

Your butt ain't as large as mine, and hope you're willing to share Will with me - please?!

Only 30? Ack...you'll do grand. Not much further for you to go eh?

Time to finish the job

Hello All

So far so good......1 pack and 2 lt have passed my lips oh and lots of grumpy moans at the kids who have been bickering, no change there then!

I'm actually feeling some relief at being pack on the packs, feel the pressure of food is off. Managed to make a bacon buttie without licking my fingers, not an easy feat, so feel pretty proud about that.

Supposed to go to the cinema this morning but cos the kids were arguing we couldn't bear to spend 1/2 hr in the confines of the car to get to the cinema, so we wouldn't take them. Meant to be a punishment to them but they've been happily playing together with their Nintendo Wii, meanwhile I've been washing and cleaning up.....Who's being punished???

DH is transforming into Mr Grumpy as he's back SSing today and he always gets really miserable. Oh happy days.

Think I might head off into town to have a mooch round the sales. I've got a top to return that I love but it's now 1/2 price so I'm going to return it with the reciept then buy it again! Is that really awful of me?

Hope you're all ok, I'm freezing maybe I'm back in the pink????? Nah reckon I should close the doors get some clothes on and switch on the heating!

Catch you later.

 

[cazmaz_irl]

Hi Cheb,

OMG, what a brilliant idea, I would never have thought of that, 1/2 price sale returns, will you have to do it in a few visits. I'm impressed.

Good to see like me, your back on the packs today, and hubby too, well done... I am feeling more in control, have had 1 strawberry shake, 2 pints of water, 1/4 tetra in a coffee and 1/4 malt toffee bar,

i really know how to get the best value out of my packs eh! LOL

Here's wishing all of us, success in our getting back onto the program 100%,

cheers Caz

 

[Cheb]

So you don't think I'm awful then? I know it's cheeky but I just feel miffed cos I haven't worn it and I do have the reciept. I plan to get a shopping basket pick up the top from the rack and another item on top of it. return the one I've already bought before buying the reduced one at another till point! OMG it's like a military operation!

 

[Cheb]

Gulp....hanging head in shame. Have bitten the bullett and done my ticker as my weight truly stands today......the only way is down (again) Can't believe I've let myself gain so much. It crept back up from an all time low of 10st 10lb then settled around 11st 5lb for a while before hurtling right back up to a shocking 12st 8lb this morning!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid, stupid me! Nearly 2st gained!

 

[cazmaz_irl]

I think its genius....wouldn't be brave to do it like that, I'd be scared, but thats just me, not a shopper so would have guilty written all over my face HA HA.

Hiya Cheb... I think you're a star for adjusting your ticker.. no point in worrying about that gain honey.. you lost it before.. and KNOW you will again.. it will be gone soon and you will feel fab.. you did well today dealing with mr Grumpy AND being so darn cold... my hands are freezing! seriously thinking of wearing gloves 24/7... might get some that you can whack a load of moisturiser on underneath.. lol.. might as well get some pampering whilst keeping warm eh ?

As for the top.. I wouldn't do both transactions at the same time.. if you must then get a mate to buy the sale one first.. then take the other one in, get your refund (say its too big!).. and then give your mate the money! Otherwise.. they might get wind and refuse to sell to you and make you leave the store! (and that would NOT be a good thing!)

and sweetheart ... YOU ARE NOT STUPID!!!!!! grrr.. .pet peeve that... lol.. people do stoopid stuff sometimes.. but we is not stoopid! Right??

You are back with lover boy and in control! (I think he lived here over Chrimbo )

Thanks for coming in and saying hi on me diary was lovely to see ya!
