Evening
Well today was mega, we didn't get a record week but did do a record day. The store was just crazy, packed out with people all day long. I do worry that people might feel they don't get all the attention that they need when it's so busy but then I suppose they wouldn't keep coming back and spending if they weren't satisfied. Didn't get a break at all so no chance of lunch coming my way but I was teased by a bag of Mini eggs and rolos and tangfastas. Resisted them and felt relaxed only to find a bag of M&M's and jelly babies appear in their place OMG what a test!!!!!! Managed to hold out, kept drinking the water and gritted my teeth.
Off to Ikea tomorrow to buy yet more Billy bookcases. Ikea usually equals Swedish meatballs.....another test.
Hope you've all had a lovely Saturday.

You don't need the meatballs!!! And think of all the calories you'll use (plus a few expletives!!) putting the bookcases together!!!
Well done on resisting temptation.

You don't need Swedish meatballs, you're the incredible shrinking woman!! With Will by your side, nothing can defeat you!
I will keep that comment at the forefront of my mind today, thank you.
I'm well impressed with the rate your ticker is moving down......speaking of incredible shrinking women.

Wotcha Cheb!
How are you?
Well done on your week and resisting those sweeties. I'm trying to lose some weight before we go to Florida. It is so annoying that by rights I should have lost this ages ago and be a lovely size 12 to but hte bargains. Well I suppose I'll just have to get the what ifs out of my head and focus on having a fun time out there instead of worryiing about what I look like! That'll be a first!?!?!?
I've lost just over a stone since Xmas 10lb with CD. If I could stop bl**dy nibbling I could have been almost back to size 12 but no, I have to sabbotage it.
Must get those negative thoughts out of my head!!!!
Good luck with building your bookcases.
By the way is your meez. com pic you at yoga or you standing in the queue for a wee now you are back on SS? Ha ha xxx

Hey Jazzy
Lovely to hear from you.
My pic is supposed to me doing the Eagle posture but your right it definitely looks more like me dying for the loo as usual
Well done on your weight loss, sure you'll look sooooo skinny in Florida, keep up the good work.

Friday 23rd Feb
Hello
So here I am again, still struggling to get back on the wagon. Reckon I've lost about a million calories climbing on and off so why aren't I 10st already??
I'm having a family photo taken on 11th March....OMG that's 2 weeks on Sunday Have to stay on track til then, don't want to be looking chubby hanging on the wall in a frame forever!
Ok, lets sum up the last couple of weeks......
went to work lots of times and was very busy and dedicated and driven and enthusiastic like this.....
Valentines day DH bought me not one but two gorgeous watches, guess he's noticed I need help with my timekeeping. Trouble was I hadn't even bought him a card so had to pretend to be really sleepy as I opened his two beautifully wrapped gifts complete with ribbons and bows, then I had to act sort of dozey until he left for work. Of course when he got home his card and pressie were waiting for him and had
been bought ages ago honest
Been to the gym quite often, started Body Pump and I love it, always looked a bit scary but I'm glad I braved it now. Been chillin' at yoga too.
Had a pre-assesment visit for DS, he's going to be seen by the consultant in a couple of weeks to be assesed for Aspergers. It's all a bit daunting but after months of wrestling with myself I do now believe that my decision to have him assesed is the right one. I agonised over him being 'labelled'
MIL will have surgery to remove another lobe of her lung, she's had various tests and scans and the good news is that it appears to be an isolated tumour and she doesn't have cancer anywhere else in her body.....at the present time anyhow. It is an ongoing fight for her, this will be the 3rd time in 5 years but she is strong and continues to battle. Not sure when the op will take place but she will have to go to St Thomas's and it's likely to be in the next few weeks.
Have SSed for the last 2 weeks sadly only during daylight hours! Soon as night falls I eat at least 2 days worth of junk every evening!!!! What's it all about eh? Just can't get my head in the right place, so far so good tonight....
Off to catch up with your diarys now.

Hiya Cheb
PMSL at you pretending to be half asleep when your DH gave you your valentines pressies!! I love watches and sun glasses for some reason and have loads of them - so 2 new watches would be cool!
Glad to hear your MIL is doing well - she sounds like a real fighter.
What happens next with yr son???
SS???????? Why is it so hard??? I did really well - until tonight .... then fell off the wagon - luckily not big time, so hopefully can regain my ketosis on Sunday ... a girl likes to be in the pink!!
Good luck with the photo - that's what I want when I'm happier about myself - a lovely family photo to put on the wall. Hope this week is kinder to you!

Hope to join you in the pink by Sunday!
The photo will be a present for my Mum, so it'll be me and mine plus my 2 brothers with theirs, 10 of us in all. Don't reckon much to the chances of getting us all smiling and with eyes open but the photographer is all digitalised and can superimpose people or bits of people on....hoping he'll airbrush me!!!!
Hope you're now back on track, good luck.

Morning
Well I lasted the day, had quite an early night in order to keep out of the kitchen!
Day off today and not much planned really. Will take the dogs for a walk in a while after I have my first shake, haven't even made it downstairs for some caffine yet I was distracted by Minis! Going to see Miss Potter this evening, taking DD, MIL and my lovely Nan. It has finished at our local cinema but they're showing it at a little village cinema so we're off there. It's lovely cos there's a coffee shop attached so you can sit and watch the film (on posh recling seats) with a lovely cup of coffee and as there's not a sweet kiosk you don't get many people munching goodies to tease me!
Apart from that we're going to mooch about, think I might start a jigsaw puzzle I like to leave it on the dining table (seeing as how there's a couple of empty spaces!) then all the family stop and do a couple of pieces when they pass by.
I changed my bedding last night, I put on a new set that I got in Asda for just £6, it's lovely and bright, spotty on one side and stripes the other. DH hates it with a passion, but that's ok I like passion in the bedroom, LOL. Blimey when I woke up this morning it was a bit of shock, I was dazzled by the neon colours, reckon I'll have to keep a pair of sunnies next to the bed!
Those of you who read my waffling on a regular basis may know about my mouse problem, the squeaky furry kind not the computer kind. Well Stuart Little and his cousins may well have packed their little bags and trooped off down the drive to set up home elsewhere cos I plugged a mouse repellent thingy in last night. Supposedly it emits a noise that only rodents can hear, drives them potty so they leave. I really hope it works cos I don't want to get the pest control in, he'll kill them and that just seems wrong to me. At the same time I don't want to share my house with them unless they chip in with the mortgage..... I have this image in my head of a trail of mice trudging up the road with cases in hand looking sad and the children crying 'why have we been evicted mummy? Why are we thrown out on the street?' Ok gonna stop now before I get carted away and sectioned!
Catch you all later.

Evening All
Off to bed in a mo, having an early night. DH looked quite cheerful at this announcement til I told him I was only going in order to keep out of the kitchen and I was planning a nice read of my book!
Have limped my way to the end of my second day, I do feel less bloated so that's good but it's been hard. I've thought about nibbling almost every second of the day!
Fed the ducks in the park earlier, DH brings a bag of crusts home from the sandwich shop opposite his work so we had a huge bag to offload. Flippin' ducks weren't very hungry so we sat there throwing bread into the water even after the ducks had swum off. Ungrateful birds I'd have loved to eat it!
DH is doing ok, he's SSing alongside me. A bit of healthy competition!
