my plans for yesterday completely went to pot, zoe ended up staying the night as the wiring in here flat wasnt finished, sooo we ended up on a mooch to tescos, well all i can say is my plans for tea went completely out of the window we bought chicken breast, (good) oven chips (not so good) and french stick (bad) and had that for tea, so it was a not quiet night with my daughter and her partner. she did another layer of st tropez and was wandering around in my white robe she looked a fright, but gorgeous this morning .

this morning i did waffles ice cream and maple syrup for lucy and her friend they are off to bowling with a few others for the day as a treat for her birthday, so far so good for me, and my lovely treasure of a hubbie took me back to the shop for my coveted table YAY i thought it would be gone but there it was, also got a lovely teacup and saucer for my dresser god i am a saddo, the things that cheer me up these days lol,
anyways i am all set for tonight in tgi's i am going with good intentions so fingers crossed, and do you know what, even if we have one bad day out of seven its better than seven out of seven so one chinese emma, cant be all bad can it .

ooh ooh i wore my jeans first time i tried to since november, fitted a treat, size 16, so am hoping to be a 14 next month. have a great sat all xxxx

 

[emmaedes]

Good Morning! (Happy Monday . . . :S )

aw pleased you got your table!!! ooo and well done on the jeans front!!! its good when clothes start fitting better isnt it!! Chinese was lush and i stuck to my promise to myself and went to the gym on saturday morning and did 35mins on treadmill (running for 20mins, 15 mins fast walking with the treadmill on high incline) and then did 3500metres on the rowing machine!! was planning to go today but am going tomorrow as snow is bloody annoying today!!

i have advice for you . . . whatever you do dont drive a BMW in the snow!! i got stuck yesterday had my bf and his dad digging me out, mats under my tyres and all! lol got to work today and got stuck loads again!!!! stupid car!

aw sounds like your daughter is having a lovely lot of birthday treats!! how did Frankie and Bennies go?!

well, i had a great time sat night, but did go a bit car crash on the calorie front, had starter of calamary, main of chicken salad then went for cheesecake, it was so good, but now i feel so bad i have been afraid to get on the scales as i also had a full roast dinner yesterday and dessert of treacle sponge, i just dont know what is wrong with me it was like my head is saying no but my mouth just said mmm yes please,, anyways i am back on track today and am going to try so hard to be good all week this week.
i dont drive so i dont have any worries about getting stuck, i'm not looking forward to walking to the school in a minute though, its blimming freezing and i am a bit scared of going over on my bum.

you have been soooo good on a roll emma, well done i bet you get a great weigh in this week.
got to go now . xxx

 

[emmaedes]

omg frankie and bennies calamarie is delish isnt it!!!! wow i want some now lol! well its only a day isnt! AND you did well on your main course!!! so pat on the back for you!!

oooo god be careful!! i only have to walk to my car (1 min walk) and ive nearly gone over plenty of times today haha!!! i blame my shoes!!!

i have no idea what i fancy for dinner tonight but i am def getting some meal bars in as i didnt finish my shake at lunch because just not able to stomach it atm! :S hmmmmm strange.

im hoping my gym pays off but i think this weeks weigh in wont be great but next weeks should hopefully see a dif from regular gym sessions!!!

here's hoping!

take care on the school run, catch you tomorrow

Am all snuggled on the sofa just had my home made chicken kebab liw fat of corse it was delicious, today has gone well slimy with yesterday after the weekends wickedness, I did have one piece of shortbread but just didn't have any snacks at all to cover it, for the life of me I can't remember what I had for dinner last night I must be tired, ah yes it was a low fat lasagna with salad. I did go and buy some tescos low fat ready meals but couldn't find the one you mentioned Emma, I will have to try again next week, hope today has been a good one xxx

hi all well have a disaster of a week not only did i slip off the wagon of slim fast i completely crashed and burned, so today i am back on , also 4lbs up which is not good, i dont have any excuse apart from a weekend away where we ate out every night (3 courses)
so here goes again i only have about 50 or so days until my holiday to gran canaria so i really need to get this show on the road.
so far today i have had a cafe latte shake for breakfast i will have another about 2ish then for tea i have a tescos light choices dish i think its the meatball one. hubbie has been warned off buying me choccies although i had the great surprise of a lush necklace and my engagement ring reset from white gold into platinum, now just to get the body to match lol , my snacks today will be apples i love them, a world without apples just wouldnt be worth living . good luck to all,
EMMA !!!!! WELL DONE YOU XXXXX another 2lbs off soo cool xxx

 

[emmaedes]

Hi Cable,
Have just read your diary and I can relate to you totally. We are a similar age (I am 38) and weight (I'm 16 stone) and I really don't like myself very much either....but we can do this! and we WILL do this! 'ark at me!! LOL!!
We can all support eachother

 

[cable]

aw housecat , thanks for that its amazing what a little encouragement can do, i am on a little high at the moment its either hunger the pills or i am just going off my rocker!!!!
anyways this week has been a nightmare, after posting on here on valentines day i got a letter stating i am to attend a meeting today to discuss cutbacks at work, well not like alot of people i cant eat when i am upset (sometimes a good thing) so my dinner didnt get eaten but i did succombe to a gu chocolate dessert, although its a good job i didnt eat my dinner it had over 400 cals in , it wasnt even the size of the palm of my hand!!!!
i would have had 2 of them before.
weds and thurs have passed pretty much normal with shakes and meals plus i did a hour and a half walk around the local lake with my sister and friend, we have all agreed to do it once a week now as its not like excercise, just a good goss doing it .
just had my meeting i have been offered a 75% pay cut or redundancy little flockers!!!! i am going to refuse both its not like i have much to lose now is it? i have til monday to give my answer to wish me luck on that. god people live to what they earn to have that suddenly taken away is a right poo, i feel for people who else its happens to.
have managed to get 3 of the 4lb i put on off so am on the right track although again my neighbour has invited me to a 3 course meal tomorrow night at hers, so wish me luck on that .
have a good weekend ladies xxx

 

[emmaedes]
