Morning All
So, managed a whole day 100% SS yesterday and hopefully will do the same today....one day at a time eh?
Lots planned for today but not sure if it will all pan out as planned. One of my boys is due at the poodle parlour this morning for his wash and brush up. Later, DS and I are meeting up with my friend and her son for a bike ride on the seafront finishing up with a gossip and a coffee in our beach hut.
Trouble is my other boy hurt his leg last night and it seems a trip to the vet is needed so our plans may change. Hopefully he's just strained it, poor thing he looks soooo sorry for himself. He was playing too rough with our older dog and I think he got trodden on
Right, off to call the vets.....

Hello
Managed another day yesterday and feeling good today; had a frozen tetra for breakfast nothing else so far except for water and coffee.
Took my boy to the vets, he has a dislocated toe! Amazing how much it effects his walking he can't put his leg down at all. Not much they can do for it, just some anti inflammatory tabs and the ligaments should heal around it with time and rest.
Went for a bike ride with DS and DH, my friend and her DS this morning. All along the seafront and back to the beach hut where we cooked sausages on the barbequeue for breakfast. The boys went for a swim in the sea while we chilled with a coffee.
Cycled home and have just mowed the grass, think I'll head up to the DIY shop in a bit. I need some plants for my hanging baskets and some wallpaper for the smallest room.
Maybe I've time for a quick coffee.......

How's it going this week hun, hope alls well in the land of Cheb????
Love xxxx
mmm, well not great as it happens Mandy:sigh: Just can't seem to stick to it for more than a few days. Yesterday I decided enough was enough and I would stop trying to SS and just get back to healthy eating. Now today I'm not so sure again......I'm in a quandry
Going to have a good think over the couple of days.
How are you doing?

Hello
Ok, after much deliberating the decision has been made......I'm sticking with CD. Having given myself permission to eat all that I wanted on Tuesday & Wednesday I found that I didn't really want much but what I did want was sweet rubbish. I just knew that a healthy eating diet that I'd intended to start on Thursday was going to mean sooo much effort. Well what's the point in calorie counting, spending time carefully reaing labels when shopping etc etc when I could lose the weight quicker with CD. After all either diet means I can't eat to excess the things I long for and I believe it's easier to have none than to try to limit myself to a small sweet something. I'm too greedy!
So CD it is. My weight was right up to 13st on Thursday morning but is down, after 2 days of SSing; to 12st8lb today. From my start on CD 16 days ago (cos I'll put this week down as a blip, I'm not having another restart!) I've lost 3lb, not much but at least it's down.
Off to work in a minute, I've cycled every day which I'm loving. I arrive feeling relaxed and happy and ready for the general public!
Thanks for listening to my waffle.........

Morning All
Life in the CD House is about as up and down as the BB House My mood seems to change hour by hour, I can feel so motivated and my resolve so strong yet within minutes I can find myself in the kitchen with a slice of cheese in my mouth! It seems that food continues to have this power of me.
Just having my first shake, banana; I never usually have shakes as shakesconfused I have fruity ones as a mousse and non fruity mixed with a black coffee. Must have still been asleep this morning cos somehow I made up a banana one,
fortunately I woke up in time and I didn't get as far as mixing it with my coffee.
Off to work in a minute, want to get in early cos we have an audit today Think I'd quite like to be an auditor ooh the power of knowing people have been sent into a frenzy of preparation before your arrival
Going to cycle along to the beach hut after work to meet the family; they're planning fish and chips
.........sadly I'm not! My choice though - have to keep reminding myself!
Then I have committe meeting for our Residents Association, gotta keep busy and out of the kitchen y'know.
Have a good day.

Hello
I'm still bumbling along diet wise, good days and bad; some 100% SSing and others with some nibbling or even worse a total meltdown! My heart just isn't in it though it should be cos I'm really unhappy at my present weight. Every morning I have a fresh resolve when I wake up cos I'm so aware of how much bigger I am, it's my first thought EVERY day. How sad is that? A bit concerning too cos I've never been one one for self loathing even at my biggest. Really need to start working on getting my head in the right place.
This week has been tough, DD was attacked by 3 fellow pupils on the way home from school. A police investigation is underway and the school have been very supportive but it's all been such a shock. DD seems to be coping ok but I do wonder when the cracks will show. My poor girl, it was totally unprovoked and random, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time
Off to work in a minute, back later.

Had a good day yesterday, not perfect but didn't crash and burn either. Got it fixed in my mind that I can eat if I choose to or just have packs; forbidden fruit and all that. So far I've chosen not to eat
Going to an 80's party night tonight, got my outfit all sorted including white stilettoes and a fishnet arm warmer Not the best preperation for tomorrows Race For Life but I'm not planning on sprinting round Chance would be a fine thing!
Working again today, unexpectedly. My poor kids will be feeling neglected cos I've worked 6 days this week. Money talks though I'm afraid and I'm stashing all of this weeks extra money to pay for our holiday in October half term.
My mother seriously disapproves of my usual working hours, haven't confessed to this week yet! She doesn't seem to get it that I need a career as well as motherhood, cos when my birds leave the nest I will still need to have something going on for myself. Hey ho, she'll get over it.
Have a great weekend.

Friday 6th July
Hellooooooo
Off I go again, 3 millionth time lucky! A fresh start, day 1, this time I'll do it blah, blah, blah. I'm embarrassed to be saying the same things all over again!
I've been busy troughing for the last couple of weeks and my weight has shot back up at an astonishing rate. I was about 13st this morning but I'm off for an official weigh in tonight so I'll take a deep breath and update my ticker then.
I'm going 'All Official' I'm going to have a proper weigh in with my C and have a record card for my losses. I'll measure myself and note my stats too. I'm going to have a WI every week. In other words I'm going to make a new start and do it all the right way. I've been way to casual about it for far too long it's really cos my C is my best friend so I just grab some packs from her but never get on her scales and never write it down I'm hoping that the weekly WI will force me to be more disiplined about it all. That's my grand plan, anyhow here I go again 3 stone to shift.

Ticker updated and there in black and white for all to see. Trip to Blackpool will also involve a visit to family one of whom really dislikes me....I MUST be thin

Day one, done and dusted; off to work now which is always tricky cos there's so much chocolate and stuff there. The boss knows how to get the best out of his staff.....high salaries? Nope, just lots of chocolate
The sun is shining so hopefully all our customers will be lovely and sunny too!

Hi,
Just read the last page as brief catch up! Remember....
You don't fail until you stop trying!
Well done you on the cycling to work. I keep meaning to on my office days. Need to get organised with water proofs. think I grew out of my last ones and threw them out. given the weather at the mo couldn't cope with squishing round in soggy clothes all day. It would save me scouring the house for parking money.
In my last job I used to cycle and and I found if I'd have a sh~t day by the time I'd peddaled home it was all out of my system.
What a shock about DD. What a worry for you. I imagine she'll have all sorts going on in her head as she likes to be so grown up and wanting to deal with things her way. Hopefuly she can open up to you and share her feeling s with you rather than bottle it up. Sadly all you can do is be there which is frustraing for you. Big hugsxxxxx

Hello
Well not exactly a flying a start I managed a disappointing 2lb loss last week and TBH not sure that this week will be any better:sigh:
Note to self 'Must try harder'
Just printing out some pics for DD Art project she went to The V&A on Turesday lucky thing, ah well I'll just look at the pics.
Went for a cycle along the prom with DS, it was lovely to be out on an evening that actually felt like summer! Mind back to winter tomorrow I hear
Climbing back on the blasted wagon once more tomorrow, goota jump about a bit to wriggle on these days cos I've worn the step away with all the getting on and off!
Hugs to all.
