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

Hello

Finally feel my head is in gear.......for how long:confused: Had an almost ok day yesterday. Weight back down to 12st4lb following an encounter with an indian on Wednesday evening:eek:

So far today I've only had coffee and water. Off to prepare DS bedroom in a minute; he's having 3 friends for a sleepover tonight so I need to organise some beds.

Had some storm damage yesterday but still not managed to get through to the insurance company. Must be a nightmare working in a call centre after weather like this.

I've made myself a starchart to count down to my holiday. I shall give myself a smilie face for every day I manage to SS! Sticker charts work for the kids and I'm just a big kid! I looked through my photos from last time we went and was horrified at how I looked, I don't even recognise myself! What a motivator to keep at it.

Oh well, love to stay and chat but got loads to do.....and I need a wee! (What's new?)
 
Evening

Just got back from the cinema, took DS and his 3 mates and have just fed them a KFC bucket before running away:D From the kids and the chicken:eek: They've gone hyper, too much sugar??? Mmm, wonder if they'll sleep at all tonight????

So well done me, resisted the pic'n'mix and the KFC.

Hugging Will tightly and flicking that blasted chatterbox off my shoulder!!!

Now that is what I call willpower. Mind you I have to admit to buying a KFC last week, had one bite and threw it all in the bin, it was horrible and nothing like I remembered. I just can't do grease any more. I used to love it as well :rolleyes:

Well done you, the pick and mix would have been the death of me ...
 
Sunday 28th January 2007

Well hello!

A week and no updates, I'm slipping.

Slipping in more ways than one, been on and off the wagon this week. Weight was back down to 12st4lb but had a birthday to celebrate on Friday so of course being me that means FOOD! Also me being me it doesn't just mean one meal but 2 days of stuffing everything that I'd been wanting!

Back SSing today and it's been sooo hard. I feel really rough, probably doesn't help that I've got a rotten cold that's been threatening all week. I've got a head ache and feel sick and shaky but I think it's carb withdrawal. I don't usally suffer at all, and seem to be able to climb on and off the wagon without any side effects but not today. That'll tecah me? Probably not!

I'm going to take to my bed shortly, just want to catch up a bit here first.

Had quite a busy week, managed a couple of new classes at the gym; a New Year resolution to get back into my gym routine. Been sorting out a spare bedroom, ready to turn it into a library (sounds posh!) DH listed almost 200 items on e-bay to clear out some junk -funny cos when he bought most of it I told him it was junk but he claimed it was collectables for the future.....seems it was junk after all! Still if we get anything back on it, it's better than nothing and at least we'll have some space cleared. He's busy wrapping up ready for posting tomorrow, so I'm hiding out at the top of the house. Cleared out our garage too, which meant a trip to the tip for me, I hate going there it's such a blokes place, don't you think? My car doesn't go under the barrier either (yes guilty as charged, un-green 4X4) so I have to park outside the tip and barrow my junk back and forth. Anyhow, there we are, having loaded the car with rubbish, including a couple of Christmas trees to be chipped; I'm ready to send DH off to the tip but the flipping car didn't start!:mad: We decided it needed a new battery but nobody had one in stock so we had to order it, so there's my car langushing on the drive, full of rubbish, by the time we'd got the battery and were able to get going; DH's holiday was finished and he's back to work leaving me having to go the tip. Oh well faced my demons and did it, as luck would have it the barrier was up so I was actually allowed to drive in with the normal cars.

So basically a bit of a sorting out week, I feel strangely cleansed. Lets hope the feeling clears my mind too and gets me focused back on my diet.

MIL has a PET scan tomorrow, that the last of the tests (we think) then they should decide on what treatment she should have. Fingers crossed it's surgery only cos I don't think she'll subject herslf to more Chemo.

Hope you're all doing well.
 
Evening All

So far so good(ish) a biscuit did leap into my mouth but I haven't lost the plot completely, just having my first pack in a coffee; haven't had chance before.

Work was ok today, quite busy and a bit short staffed but all lovely people through the door and no moaners, so that makes all the difference.

MIL scan went ok, no results yet of course but the appointment was all on time and the trip to Brighton and back was uneventful for her so that's good. The kids had to let themselves in and sort the dogs out, think they quite like it really I think it makes them feel grown up.

Talking of the dogs, poor Dylan just had the fright of his life. He came face to face with a badger in the garden, I've never seen him run so fast. He came tearing up the garden with the badger in hot pursuit, mind the badger soon turned tail when he found Dexter our other Newfie waiting at the top of the steps! Poor Dylan he was a quivering wreck.

I'm off to Body pump in a minute, I ache a little bit after yesterday but not too bad so I think I can manage another class. Then I'll be home ready to watch Prison Break with DH before he starts moaning that I'm always out!

Catch you later.
 
Morning

Whoops missed yesterday's diary entry.......yesterday?....oh yes, now I remember. Went to work and had 2 people call in sick so we were 25% down on staff hence a busy day and no lunchbreak for me. Yet still I managed to eat 4 biscuits and having blown it AGAIN I cam home and had a couple more and a lovely soft brown roll with a lb of butter sliced on it followed by a bag of jelly beans!!!!!!:mad: Only had 1 pack and didn't eat that until 7pm so today I'm starting my day with a pack in the hope that by having one before I actually feel the need I might not get peckish and eat something else. Does that make sense?

Anyhow, working an extra day today in case of further staff absences. I will do mybest to avoid the biscuits.

Dubai is fast approaching and I know it will mar my holiday if I'm not at my slimmest and able to wear my lovely summer clothes. Also we are having a family phot taken for my Mums birthday and I want to look my best in a pic that is likely to hang on the wall for years!

Seems like it's a bit quieter on here recently, what's everyone up to?

Hope you're all doing better than me!
 
ANOTHER DAY WASTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm so angry with myself, I was so detirmined yesterday but didn't manage it. By 12 o'clock I'd had 2 rich tea fingers and by 6pm I'd had about 10 and 2 packs. I came home from work and got on the scales (Why???) found I'd gone a lb in the wrong direction and thought sod it!!!!! Went downstairs and had a cheese roll and slices of malt loaf.

I'm so fed up, I feel fat and bloated my clothes either don't fit at all or I'm squeezed into them like a porky sausage. I know that people can see that I've gained but so far have been too polite to comment. I feel I've let myself down and my family who went without in order for me to do LL. I'm letting down my CDC who is also my best friend and sells me CD at cost, cos it's like I'm not giving it my all despite her generosity.

So if I feel like this, why can't I stick to the plan???????

Off to work know, I'll report back later hopefully with a more cheerful post!!!
 
Me again,

Well I feel more optimistic than this morning, I've done it 100% today. Not a nibble so I'm pleased with myself, mind I'm not in bed yet so there's still time to eat BUT I'M NOT GOING TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from my yoga class, apparently the music was really loud in the studio below ours. I must have been very focused cos I didn't notice at all.

I had a visitor try to share my breakfast pack this morning......4 legs, a tail and a squeak....a flippin' mouse scuttled across the room:eek: Ashamed to say I squealed like a true girlie, lifted my feet and closed my eyes 'til it had gone!!! Guess I'll have to call the 'Mouse Man' out tomorrow to serve the eviction notice.
 
Hello

Well I did it, I managed a WHOLE day! It's soooo long since I can say that with total honesty, generally I'll consider 100% SSing to be 3 packs plus a nibble of cheese and a slice or two of ham. Guess that's why I've never got all the way to target, can't believe that I was within 3lb and now I'm almost 2st away!

Ah well, so far so good today. I've done the supermarket shop and spent a couple of hours at work - on my day off - Oh I'm so dedicated. Off to take the dog for his wash and brush up in a minute then I have extra kids coming for dinner before youth club tonight. Might have a wallow in the jacuzzi while the kids are out, can't eat in there!
 
Morning All

SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT I WAS SOOOO PLEASED WHEN I CLIMBED ON THE SCALES.......5LB OFF IN 2 DAYS:D

So sorry if I woke you up DQ:D

Amazing what happens if you actually stick to it without nibbling eh? Day 3 today and I feel totally resolute, I will not be nibbling today.

Off to work in a minute, think it's going to be very busy we're fully booked so will have about 140 patients coming through the door plus those who come in to collect their order plus those with repairs and enquiries. Good job too, definitely no time to eat.

Have a great day everybody.
