Determined to be foxy 42 by 2014! Want to join me?

[malamobile]

Presumably you have at least a long weekend off from work to use as recovery time? Or have you got any longer booked?

Well typically I took Thursday as annual leave and spent it under a duvet/tidying up! I have a nice long weekend but am very peed off I will be sniffling through it. Why oh why could I not be ill during work time?!! My sis is meant to be coming tomorrow & the sheer volume of work to get through before she arrives tomorrow at 4 is daunting. Tidying and sorting the kitchen and then cleaning too. Got to get to shop beforehand too but am relying on d to do a lot of it although he is sooooo slow when he tidies/ cleans and even then I find fault and have to redo things!! Ana!? Moi?! High maintenance? Perhaps!!

 

[malamobile]

Food so far,


2 crushed weetabix (b), total 2% (1 syn), banana
Cauldron saus (1) & egg Sanger (b)

Must eat more fruit and veg but with this cold want comfort although at my midweek weigh in I had already lost 1.75 lbs!!! Lets hope that continues

Hang on in there, not long till WI now. Did you get done? Mind you, I expect your sister is coming to visit because she wants to see you. Not to run her finger along your skirting boards to inpect for dust. If you keep that figure on your scales till your WI that is very good news indeed.

I know I'm p33ing myself with excitement I could lose 2.5 and get my 10%, 1.5 stone AND be nearer to 12s than 14s! Also met d when I was 13-5 so it makes me more comfortable that he still finds me attractive. Don't get me wrong he's always told me lovely things and never commented on my weight but that's how I looked when he met me and it makes a difference to me mentally.

My sis is not like that but although I am messiest person ever I get all clucky miss perfect when people visit. If I had more guests my house would be more tidy!! I have tested myself today. Went out to look at a dresser then to b&q to buy stuff for d to make me a pan holder. Home and tidied but do keep resting. It's not all done but he keeps telling me to chill and he is wielding the Hoover! Problem is our back room is a study as there are only 2 of us and to get the sofa bed to open I had to totally dismantle the pc, computer table etc. phew!!! Will do a little bit more but stop at 8 to relax and do the shop early tomorrow.

Check out dunc's creation!!!

Aha, I understand. What a hassle just to get the sofa bed in place. We've a living room made of two rooms with a double doorway in between, the back half has been unuseable since december when my sciatica suddenly took a turn for the worse when I was halfway through a major upheaval. We have curtains hiding the chaos until I can get it together. It needs the spare settee going, and strong people (not me, I dare not) lifting some other furniture then I can do the surface tidying. Then, yay!!! we get more spaces. dunno why I told you that, I think I was thinking about you disconnecting all your computer stuff and shifting it all about as part of my chaos is a large pc set up in the middle of the room. Dh had the brilliant idea that the tower could go under the stairs.

Flipping exciting thought about your disappearing act. Do you actually feel any thinner yet? I do but I look at all that has to go and wonder what on earth I could have been like before.

Love D's creation, I feel inspired to share some kitchen shots on my diary.

My kitchen is really getting there now - it's taken months but I had such a clear view in my mind about what I wanted. Would love to see yours. Totally understand having an inaccessible room. I'm planning in more storage as the house gets more done- that's the thing that scuppers all tidiness plans.

I am feeling the difference more as put on some jeans I've not worn for a while & they keep falling down giving me a very attractive builders bum!! Yes I can feel/ see it but like you it makes me think about 'before' as there is still so far to go.

Dinner: pasta with chopped up rocket & fried mushs mixed with total, chilli, garlic, black pepper. Quark with 2 tsps Nutella. Tomorrow will probably be a Chinese but I will just have mush chow mein which I love & plain rice with soy sauce. May do some of the tofu with sesame seeds. What do you syn for that?

What a lovely welcome from you too - thank you so much and ill let you into a little secret ~(im a bit of a waffler myself ...........shhhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone )~

Im finding it an absolute maze on here so Im quite glad I can go back to this thread and know where I am!!!!

Wow I didnt realise you could get it for free from the doctors - thats something - though if I cant find a half decent consultant I suppose I dont know whether it would be worth it!!!!! (though to get the hi fi bars it might be hehe)

I live in Warrington and right across the road there is a group on a Thursday night and last Friday I dont know why but I just thought right El....get your stuff together.... lets do this!

So I searched high and low for a Friday group (thinking I didnt want to wait until today - and anyway Im out tonight at a doo so id have to wait until next Thursday) but I couldnt find one.

Soooooooo i suppose the frame of mind I was in at the time I just thought ..............do it yourself! Be strong! And thats how Ive come about to be doing it myself!

Ive been so good today.....there is a packet of curly wurly's sitting on my desk (nice low syns for a chocolate fix) but I have told myself no....your going out tonight to some fancy doo (not really my thing but its for my dad) and I dont know what these drinks and canape's are going to involve so SAVE THOSE SYNS!!!!! I think looking on here has kept me distracted!

Thank you again for the lovely welcome and I will certainly be glad to help with anything I can for you too.

I do have some good tasty green day recipes if you would like them

Hi El

I live in Warrington as well as and go to the Tuesday group at TEtley Walker by the Collegiate - small group but I enjoy it. Where is your group?

 

[Micci]

Its 6 syns for the whole packet but as the syn value only comes from sesame seeds and almonds I count it as a healthy extra. I believe HEXBs have 7 syns and 6 is pretty close and I've got away with it so far.

Piccies on my diary now.

The only jeans that fitted - well sort of, they were too tight really - are now decidedly loose on me but I can't find any others that do fit. I must have some, I have a whole graduated wardrobe except I threw out all my really big clothes and have been buying more lately.

Funny that, whilst being of the mind set that no way would I buy bigger clothes, that I had to wear too tight and unflattering garments as a sort of punishment for getting so fat I felt really bad about myself and could not face up to changing my ways and losing the weight. Obviously other stuff was going on too but buying nicer clothes that didn't hurt to wear helped me feel a lot better about myself and probably helped get me into a better frame of mind.

Now I want to wear the same skirt I did a few summers ago that fell off as I came into the house with armsfull of shopping so I coudn't grab it. Oh my, how the children laughed. By autumn perhaps?

Wanted to lie in but after watching a film that made me really blub - and knowing the guests will be here at 3.30 I can't settle so getting up. Got to go to asda & town briefly, then finish the clean up ( which I hope d will have done while I'm out).

Will have a little kip before they arrive as still really blocked up & for once am trying to be sensible!!

Have a good Saturday all. I've decided to miss footie as sitting in the cold for 2 hours won't help my sniffles but cross fingers for a win!

 

[Micci]

Poor you. Is it worth taking some potent unblocking medication just for the day. I don't really like taking the stuff myself but it does help get you through when you really need to keep going. I hope despite everything you have a good time with your guests.

Thanks micci. Lemsips do me pretty well, it's just the lack of rest through the day I find hard. Usually I'm like a Duracell bunny bit know at the mo I need to reeeelax!! They are at my Nans across town at the mo and I finished tidying about 15 mins ago. Lying on sofa ohhh it's nice!

Food;
2 eggs and 2 small bread (b & 1 for ketchup)
Banana
Honeyed peach muller (yum 0.5)

That's it!!! No time for lunch. I'm guessing Chinese tonight but as willow is coeliac not sure... We shall see.

Have a happy Saturday evening all x
