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

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.

Big hugsxxxxx

Hi Jazzy,

Waterproofs OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm definitely only a fair weather cyclist I do enjoy it though, it puts me in a good mood at the start of the day and cheers me up after a a hard slog at work. Slightest chance of rain or wind and you'll see me back in my car though.

Evening All,

Going ok the last few days, last week I was hopeless but I've been ok since Thursday. Missed my WI on Friday but will definitely be setting foot on those scales this week.

Just been for a 5 mile bike ride with DS along the seafront, it's been gorgeous here today. He passed his cycling proficiency last week so is really keen at the mo, so we've been out a few times for a ride this week.

Also went to collect his new drum kit we promised him a gift if he did well in his SATS. Are we crazy parents??????

Hope you're all well

Hello All

Been away for a long weekend, camping in Somerset. Had a great time, helped by the fantastic weather.

Came off SS for a planned break bt just having my first pack of the day now. DH back on track too, so here's hoping we'll both be nice and slim for our next jaunt; a trip up to Blackpool to play the tourist in October. We both used to live there so it'll be nice to re-visit and show the kids our old stamping ground. Plus of course when you live somewhere you tend not to do the touristy stuff so we're looking forward to being Grockles!

Not venturing towards the scales just yet......

 

[Cheb]

Ok party is over and off I go again, scales have been braved and violently kicked across the room......not confessing publicly to the numbers yet!

Everything is tight and my wardrobe has become extremely limited, I feel ready for action.....

 

[Cheb]

Out with the girls tonight, just bought a bottle of Posh fizzy water as a treat....can you believe it! Water as a treat

Having my hair re-styled later, sorry that's why it's raining!

 

[MandyB2]

Hope you've had a good day hun, enjoy the night out with the girls....

Much love xxxxxxx

 

[Cheb]

Thanks Mandy, lovely gossipy evening with the girls. Just got home and now having a final caffine fix before bed.

How are you doing?

 

[MandyB2]

Glad the night went well
I'm doing ok....not perfect, but getting there

love xxxxx

 

[Cheb]

Well didn't get my hair done, mix up with appoinments but never mind.

Had a funny turn today, went all shaky and lightheaded. Felt totally unable to function, I couldn't speak coherently and just felt like I was on another planet. Quite scary really, I'd had a pack 45 mins before I'd drunk plenty and I'd had a coffee but I felt I NEEDED sugar! I listened to my body and had 4 Haribo Strawberries and after 15 mins felt fine again. Disappointed I didn't get through a day SS but I just physically couldn't do it. Hope it doesn't happen again (never has before) cos I felt so awful and it really made me stop and think about how I treat my body jumping on and off the wagon, messing about with CD; if I'm going to do it I MUST DO IT PROPERLY or heaven knows what harm I'm doing.

 

[Cheb]

Feeling all fired up today ready to fight the VLCD war with myself! Weight has dropped by 4lb since Monday, hopefully in the morning I'll be the right side of 13st.

Only today and Sat to work before I'm off for 2 weeks, hurrah no more juggling kids, work and childcare! Can't wait to start chillin'

 

[Cheb]

Well, after a shaky few days and a couple of hefty, painful falls off the wagon and head first into the biscuit tin; I did actually manage a whole 100% SS source day yesterday Here's to another one today!

Thank you, yep one day at a time; almost finished another one but it's been tough.

HOw you doing?

 

[Cheb]

Day 3 is looming a day when I'm usually evil Look out hubby and kids I warn you know I'll be on the warpath!

Gotta keep myself busy so planning to help hubby with a bit of concreting. Later I plan to take a brisk walk up in the country park to blow the blues away

 

[Mini]

Hi Cheb,


Your doing well to get to day three!

Just hang in there and you will be in ketosis soon.

Enjoy your walk.

Love Mini xxx

 

[Cheb]

Thanks Mini

Just threw left over crisps in the bin without even hesitating.......Ooh I feel empowered

 

[Cheb]

Morning

Day 4 is here Haven't checked but think I'm in the pink, definitely feels like I'm in the groove.

Weight has dropped 8lb since Sunday, official weigh in day will be Friday so hopefully will be taking my ticker down

 

[Cheb]

Day 5 today, been ages since I got this far, hasn't been easy today but I've stuck at it and although I had my bum dragging along the ground at one point I didn't actually fall of the wagon!

So proud of DD today, makes a change cos usually she just infuriates me! She's only 13 but is a bright spark and took some of her GCSE'S early, she got the results today and has passed them all.

She got C in German, B in English Lit, 2 A's & 2 B's in Science & B in Food Tech (just as well she can cook cos I only seem to be able to whizz up a pack!), she's chuffed to bits and was actually spotted smiling once or twice! I'm a very proud Mummy especially as not only has she done them 2 years early, she's also done the courses in a year rather than 2

Okay, bragging session done (sorry) just wanted to share!

 

[Sambucca]

Blimey, what a clever little girl you have. You are right to be proud. I would be shouting it from the rooftops if it was my daughter.

Some sort of reward seems to be in order for her....

 

[Mini]

Cheb well done to your daughter and of course your glowing as a proud mum!
