Hello!!
I didn't do my walk count yesterday again, Im so naughty. I managed 175 mins yesterday, which is a total of 875 mins for May so far. Woohoo
As its sunday I had lovely bacon, eggs and sausage for brekkie. Running out of supplies so I'm going shopping later and dragging the hubby with me so hopefully he can pick out a few things he wants. His diet went by the wayside days ago in terms of low carb, but he still isn't eating as much chocolate or anything so he's doing ok. It doesn't really bother me either making him jacket potato as I'm happy with my celeriac or broccoli, or cauliflower or cabbage. I'm eating a much bigger range of veggies than I would normally eat, so I'm feeling healthy.
I'm hoping to be able to go along and play hockey later if the husband lets me join in. They (him & his brother) play on roller blades as a substitute for ice hockey, but I hate roller blading and sold mine ages ago, so I'm trying to persude him to play just on foot. At least I'll be running around, and it's free as they just go to the high school grounds. I really fancy a few games of squash as well but squash courts are pretty expensive when you have no money! The money I do have I need to spend on food!
I hate being in this position I have worked since before leaving school, paid a fortune in tax every month and now because my husband works (not a great wage) I get virtually nothing in help from the government. What I do get is debt in the form of student loans and now all of the jobs I apply for either theres millions of people going for them so I have a very slim chance or if I go for more basic jobs I'm over qualified and they won't consider me! Argh! Wish I'd never gone to uni. Could have saved myself a lot of stress and debt and maybe I'd be able to afford a stupid game of squash! Rahhhh!
Ok, I'll get a grip.
Also if anyone in the north east area is interested in buying a pedigree shetland sheepdog, 8 months old, called Lewis, fully vaccinated and recently neutered, let me know. My friend is thinking she needs to sell him for a few reasons. Neighbours complaining of him barking when he really doesn't bark that much, he's a dog- they bark, and now none of her neighbours are speaking to her, and she feels that she isn't in enough to give him the attention he deserves. She is the main one who looks after him. She actually didn't want to get him in the first place knowing that this is how it would be but was out voted by family who were caught up in the novelty of a new puppy. I'm annoyed by all of this as they should have considered all of this before hand and never got him, but he deserves a good home so if anyone is interested let me know and I will talk to her and see if he is still available. Poor Lewis.
I don't think I could part with either of mine. I wouldn't care if people didn't speak to me, and I know that my girl Bonnie is a barker, but just when shes getting excited to go out, admittedly she is quiet the rest of the time.
What a long post. All in the name of avoiding the grand prix. Ha, guess I have a while to go yet

I've just been looking around the forums. At first I popped into the Xenical forum as I used to be on there. Then I looked in some of the other no food diets, just shakes and bars and tetra thingys 
I'm so glad this is going ok for me. I could never diet without proper food. I think rather than have a milkshake a day I'd rather just not eat and I still wouldn't lose weight. Scary!! I know it's great for some people and loads are doing well on it, but to pay £40 a week and not even have a nice steak now and again, arrgghh! I love food

Blooming husband wouldn't take me to play hockey cos he wanted to skate. I might look around for a club or something to keep fit (but a cheap one). I fancy doing a team sport. I will keep on with the walking of course.
I made the nicest warm chicken and bacon salad for dinner with a little mayo. My mouth is watering thinking about it

Morning Jim!
Things are going pretty well, how about you?
I have found a new netball scheme for adults at my local leisure centre. It's only £1.50 per session. Ive emailed the organiser to see if I can join as I'm a little late (started 5th May). So hopefully I'll be getting back to my school girl days of netball!
Eating wise I'm staying spot on. Decided to cut the cheese until weigh in day to see if that helps, and I'm not missing it really. I'm sticking firmly to clean & green right now.
OOO Jim, I wanted to ask a question. My hubby picked me up bacon but it has potassium nitrate. I know theres something about nitrates to avoid, but i couldn't find anything in my book. Was gonna google it but since you were on here thought I'd ask. It is that they are the cancer causing thingys or something? Thankyou

Been for a lush afternoon walk with my mother in law. She has been doing atkins one week today and has lost an amazing 9lbs, and loads of inches (can't remember how many). I have definately "converted" her. My sister in law weighs in tomorrow. She is a veggie though, but seems to be doing ok on it. So fingers crossed for Lindsay too.
Had a soy milk latte before(home made). 0.3 carbs! Not bad for a little treat. I don't drink coffee everday now I'm not working, used to drink gallons at work, but it's ok to join in with others when they have it. Will be sticking to my old favourite water most of the time though

Morning All!
Thanks for the congrats for my mother in law. I have given her this site but she hasn't been on yet. I will tell her to hurry up so she can see all of her well wishes! She is doing really well, I'm very proud of her.
I've been neglecting my walk count. Sunday I did walk but not loads so I'll add a conservative 60 mins. Monday I did a lot more so add 120 mins. So total for May is 1055. Yay!
I feel sure I've lost this week as I tried on my black jeans last night, and although they were tight, I got them on and done up! 2 weeks ago I couldn't get them done up and had a gap that was never gonna close. I don't like the jeans but I know they are a small 16, compared to the rather comfy 16's Im wearing now, so I'm happy to be seeing progress
Hope everyone has a fab day. Sky's are blue here, but they were yesterday morning before the thunderstorms so who knows
