Cokes- back to it

[xconfusedx]

No sun here but very warm and almost feels like thunder.

Hope you've had a good day?

Hi All

It's pouring rain here today. John was kind and took the dogs out in it while I woke up slowly. He is being rewarded as I got him the thickest bread I could find for toast. Mmmm toast. I shall have an egg.

Got another job rejection letter this morning. At least they wrote to tell me I suppose unlike many others

Good news is John got a bonus. So I will be getting a small treat. But what? Some clothes is always a good option, like more vest tops as it has been so warm even if rotten otherwise. I also thought of getting a swimming costume to encourage me to go swimming. My old one is really old. I thought maybe I could get up and go to the early morning sessions as at other times there are always kids in the pool and I hate getting splashed. Any ideas for treats welcome- not massage though, I don't want people kneading the bits I don't like of me

What about a nice facial? Or some perfume?

 

[cokes]

I never buy perfume. John's Dad always goes away twice a year and always brings me back whatever I request so I've always got all I need I'm so lucky. A facial maybe x

How about a pedicure? Like the idea of a summer top too - i have been treating myself to visits to East when i reach mini goals. There are some beautiful fabrics, colurs and patterns and they just make me happy

Happy sunday
Xxx

Aww I love pedicures! I always used to hate people touching my feet, but booked one in 5 years back before my wedding so my feet would be lush, just thinking how strange that was considering the long dress and all! But I swear the pedicure the day before was the point that I relaxed about the wedding, all of the stress and tension went away. The only problem is my ezcema is till playing up on top of my feet despite the constant betnovate creaming. I will keep going to try and get them sorted then I think I will go for the pedicure and some more vest tops. My SiL's shop where she works has some good offers on theirs I got a couple a few weeks back and they should have more styles in by now. Sorted.

I'm gonna have a lovely relaxing sunday. I'm feeling good as I'm now over my naughtyness of cheating constantly and am firmly back in the induction driving seat. Might even splash out on ketosticks through the week to make sure I get there. But today John is off to his Dads to help lay some flooring (Ob I'm staying clear). So I anticipate a day of doing my nails, giving myself a facial, and if the weather gets a grip maybe a lovely leisurely walk with my gorgeous doggies. Fingers crossed. Hope everyone else is planning a lovely sunday x

Sounds like the perfect Sunday Rachel

I have a pedicure every 2 months - highly recommend it!

 

[xconfusedx]

Sounds like a great sunday

Hope the weather improves so you can get out with your doggies x

I decided that I needed to punish myself on the treadmill before the pampering begins as i've become complacent and not doing as much as I know I could and it will help my weightloss. So I'm gonna draw up a chart to put on my wall next to the treadmill so that I have to be accountable for each day. Doing the walking seems like its not enough anymore, so I must increase excersise. It makes me feel good too which I think is the best reason. So I will draw up my chart, aiming to do increasing levels. No excuses. Arrgghh! Scary but I have to do it!
Still doing the facial later though!

Rachel, have you tried oats for the eczema? My nephew had it quite bad as an infant and we used to fill a sock with oats and put in his bath, or a bowl of warm water for his feet, and move it about so that the water went milky. It worked a treat for him.

 

[cokes]

Hi Yes I used to use Oatmeal, and then I was prescribed Aveeno bath oil which is oatmealy which used to be lovely, but I never trusted it to make me clean if you know what I mean so I would scrub with soap too which I think reduced its effectiveness. I might buy some oatmeal through the week to put in the bath. Thanks Leanne for reminding me of this it is good x

Morning all!

Just finished a gruelling 12 minutes on the treadmill. Cooling off before taking the doggies out, they are still asleep anyway. Will be doing some wii later and if I'm really up for it some more treadmill. I aim to be up to 20 minutes a day by august. My wall chart is up there, but I got wrong for using sellotape instead of blu tack, oops. I didn't like that wall paper anyway, lol x

 

[cokes]

30 minutes wii stepping done whilst watching tv. Yay!

 

[Alpaca]

Wow! Go girl! x

 

[Quak]

Can you do some for me Rach well done you xxxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oooh and me too please All I've done today is walk from the sofa to the kitchen

 

[cokes]

I have walked up to the shops and back now in my Reetones, will that do? I am literally a very sweaty betty today, and now since I smell awful I may as well work up more of a sweat and clean the house top to toe. Dogs are distracted by hide cricket balls so hopefully Bruno may resist chasing the hoover and my dusters!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Did you get lost on the way back from the shops Rach??

I need to get my backside into gear & exercise think its the only way I'm going to shift the rest of this weight, its being far too stubborn!

 

[Jim]

Hi Rache love, you're super busy today then love

 

[cokes]

Oh yes super busy. So busy that I again forgot that I had put eggs on to boil. Only 20 minutes too long this time. Don't know where my head is at times!

I am feeling slightly "up" today, like hyper, think its drinking too much water going to my brain :crazy:
