Aw thanks my friends. Sid they are fab, yes i think they are called that, or smilies LOL. Love the supergirl one.:superwoman:
I have erm 'celebrated' today. Had some chocolate, an ice cream and a couple of crackers ...eh hem.........and now my plan is to give up the SF sweets for lent, increase my exercise (which I'm kind of doing anyway) and go all out. Not that I haven't anyway, but you know how there are days when things are not totally right, I'm gonna make sure every day is a good day. Tiny little things creep in, for me having to make meals for the other two seperate to mine means that there are things in the house that can sometimes cause me to hiccup, like a lick of jam off the knife(only did that once to be fair, but it was wrong) or nicking a chip off the plate or jelly bean my daughter offers me.
No treats regardless of what i do now. Nothing, nil, nada. i started out that way and I will end cruise that way.
I found my old weight watchers pedometer this morning (trying to sort out bras that fit!!!, strange the things we find in drawers) so I decided after hubby had gone out, to do some walking on the spot. I was watching come dine with me, so for 20mins I did a walk / wiggle on the spot. Wiggle is keeping feet on the floor but stepping out the knees and wiggling the hips. I did 3247 steps but didn't quite reach a mile, did .92ml. Not too bothered for a first time, exercise is exercise LOL.
I worked it out that if I lose the current average of 1.75lb per week, it will take me to the second week of May to reach TW. I had given myself the aim of end of April, so not really too far apart. I KNOW I CAN DO IT, April is still my deadline. Anyone for a walk? :dooney:

I'd love to come for a walk with you (but I'm a trainers kind of walking girl, not pretty red things!). I'm preparing to walk to work and boooo it's started raining! I walk in minus 10°C but not in rain! Nah!

we need a walking smilie don't we LOL, high heel shoes not exactly the right thing, but the only shoes on show
I had intended on gonig for a walk today in the gorgeous sunshine, but I got so involved with my ebay listings i forgot. We're out for most of the day tomorrow, so I might have to plan a longer walk on Saturday....if its nice. I admit I don't like walking in the rain either, I wear glasses and i hate it when they get wet and I can't see properly. Oh for some wipers LOL.
Mid week weigh in the morning shows a slight gain, but I'm not worried, to be honest I'm begining to think mid week weigh in is a bit of a daft idea, three weeks I've been doing it now and for three weeks I have shown a gain of a pound at least on each one, then by the following Monday it has gone again LOL.
It would be really difficult to go a full week without a weigh in, but I could always jump on the scales any day depending on how I feel on any given day.
I made a breakfast quesquedilla for my tea today. Was so yummylicious. I'll put up the recipe,. Can't remember where I got it, but I will definately be having it again

DNSF loving your posts right now - positive lady!!! Loved the pics you put up too - you have come sooooo far..... The blue jumper/skinny jeans combo definitely lovely!!! Don't forget your heels with you skinny jeans when you don't have loads of walking to do - transforms your already good legs!!!! I love wearing heels now I can actually walk in them without wanting to cut my feet off!!! LOL!

Thank Trudy. I do occasionally have negative moments, usually when my scales are not friends with me, but I know this diet works so I stay positive because i know that I will be at my TW come my deadline. i have to remember not to overdo the celebrations though, too much choc not a good friend.
I had some very yummy crabsticks last night, morrisons do them, basil and tomato filled, the carbs and protein were on a par with normal crabsticks, but the fat content was higher than i realised, not happy about that which prob accounts for this mornings slight gain on the scales, hmmm, I think i willl have to leave them for a conso treat. They really are so very very tasty.
I made the kebab for tea tonight. I didn't use as much mince in the recipe, so it was enough for one meal....should have taken a pic, but it really looked so cute as a mini kebab LOL. Had some BBQ sauce with it. Hmmmmm.
Having BBQ meatloaf for tea tomorrow, I know mince two days in a row, but it is turkey mince, I do so love the taste LOL.

BBQ Meatloaf was very yum, but I've totall screwed up my oatbran today. I got up late so it meant my breakfast was later than normal, I decided to use today to do a freeze cooking day, had the dukan bread I had made for my late lunch, toasted it and used it to scoop cottage cheese. Then when it came to the meatloaf, which includes oatbran as part of the recipe i realised too late that I had 3 tbs of oatbran and nearly 2 tbs wheatbran today. So annoyed with myself.
I'm suffering for it too, got crampy/bloated tummy, could also be TOTM due but i think its a mix of both.
Ah well, mistakes happen so I will have to be careful tomorrow and try to make up for it. Never got to have my walk today as we had visitors coming and i wanted to get the cooking done.
Did loads too....
3 Kebabs - Turkey / Beef / Cajun Beef
1 Meatloaf (enough for two meals)
Fishcakes (for two meals)
Chicken Cakes (for two meals)
Batch of Rhubarb & Ginger Muffins (Microwave ones)
Batch of Toffee Muffins (Oven)
And a Banana Loaf for the family.
I used less mine on the kebabs as i found the one I made the other day was too much, well it felt like it. Mind you the beef ones have shrunk more than the turkey so I will probably add these to some salad or veggie stuff. Meatloaf is yum which ever way its served. Thought the fish and chicken cakes would be perfect as 'bites' for lunch time.
With the muffins I'm thinking that if I make my tablespoons a bit less at porridge and bread time i can have a muffin each day. It works out approx 1/3tbs Oatbran per muffin. I don't know about anyone else but my tablespoons whilst not flat are next exactly heaped either, they are slightly in between, so if i flatten them out I will be havng the same amount in the day anyway as usual. Does that make sense? LOL

I made oatbran fajitas tonight with beef. Very yummy.
We went shopping today, I wanted to get some more silicon spatulas but the shop we went to didn't hve them, could have sworn it was that shop. Never mind, can look elsewhere another time, i got a carton of chocolate alpro soya milk, 1.7g of fat so am hoping its not going to be naughty to drink. Only going to use it occasoinally though. Might freeze some so it lasts longer.
I also got a new saucepan, hubby made me get it LOL. I do like certain kitchen pieces to be for certain things, and when makign milk things or lemon curd etc., I have alovely old non stick pan. But for other uses my small pans keeps getting rusty, dishwasher I think, I tend to end up buying cheap asda ones, so today he made me buy a small stainless steel milk pan LOL. Not used it yet, but i will.

oooh you've just reminded me that we were given some gorgeous Stellar stainless steel pans as a wedding gift... I'm used to using cheap non stick pans and throwing them out regularly so I forget to use them (scrambled eggs stuck in them the one time I did try!)

I stopped using my pans for scrambled eggs cos I hate them sticking. The new frying pan and a spatula are fantastic for that instead.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:rant2::flamingmad:
I am officialy fed up now, weigh in this morning, bare in mind that last tuesday I got on the scales and weighed 12st 13lb....5 stone lost and original goal weight achieved. That was a loss of 2.25lb from the day before, I knew my cheats of tuesday would be a bad influence on my weight which is why the whole week has been angelic, apart from mishap with oatbran on Saturday, I have even been missing out suppers.
This mornings weigh in 13st 1lb A gain from tuesdays weight, no longer at 5 stone and only ¼lb loss the whole week. I;ve had nearly a week for my good dieting to have made up for it the cheats. Yes its TOTM but the week i start has never been a problem. In fact i could probably find a million excuses for the lack of loss, and we all do find excuses for each other to try and help understand it, but I'm not listening to my own platitudes, suffice to say I have had a carp weigh in and am feeling very very negative about my body. I know the diet works, but its obviously having a holiday from me. :deadhorse:
Back at school today, and am having to put rocket up bum to get DD to move and remember everything, then she goes and loses her library book that shes reading for school, I've only asked every single day for her to read something, and now it comes to the eleventh hour, no book!!! She's found it now, but only after a search of her bedroom. Now I've had to ask four times to sort out her school bag............GGRRRRRRR!!!!!! Not a good day to be ignoring me.
Right rant over, well on paper anyway, time to go to school, I came on here unseasonable early so I could vent, instead of letting it fester. :wave_cry:

Yes miss, LOL, mardy pants here has calmed down. I had a nice walk in the park which helped. Whilst sat in the dentist chair this morning, to occupy my mind I went over my daily menu so I could make sure I am sticking to plan...dedication or what!!!!! and I've revisted this weeks menu and actually planned pudding as well, so I don't go over the top. I wondered if I might have had too many eggs yesterday, i think I had 6, but then again its all protein and thats just daft.
Nothing I can do though so onwards and onwards........tomorrow is another day and all that blurb LOL..........I'm not getting weighed mid week unless I feel its really gonna make a difference LOL.
I can't promise not to be a mardy mare again, but I do know its working, its just my stupid body for some strange unknown reason.
I'm planning to try and go out walking at least three times a week, i don't really get a lot of time, but will try to do it before lunch each time. It was a nice walk, along our main street for half the walk, and at the bottom it has a driveway into the park, so nearly all the rest of the walk back is thru the park, i saw loads of birds, even a crow stood while I walked by and they are the most skittish normally. Loads of ducks and geese too. I was walking to music , although a couple of the songs I chose aren't the right beat, so I will have to look for a couple of others, gonna borrow daughters CDs LOL.
One good thing though, a belt that DH bought me for christmas is fastening down another notch. Was on hole #2 when i got it, now it has to go to #3
great nsv xxx

say it like it is siddy sue LOL.
Feeling much better today, if a little crampy, but hey ho, not a lot we can do about that is there...TOTM will happen regardless.
I've had some lovely food today. Had beef sandwich for lunch with mug cake and custard as pudding. Tea was chicken ham stack........I created it myself. I'll put up recipe later, very yummy. And am now eating some 'Just like Tails' crabsticky things for supper.
No exercise today, I woke with a nasty pain in my neck/shoulder and daren't risk pulling it further with pull ups. I've been up and down the stairs a lot today though cos we've had job centre stuff to do. So annoyed at that.....
....two weeks ago when DH signed on I went with him, and we asked the lady about the fact that our letter shows JSA as awarded to 19th Feb...she said, don't worry it should transfer over automatically just ask for confirmation when you next come in.
We go in today, and bloke hands us a multi multi page form to complete saying it needs doing as it expires in 3 days time.....turns out first woman got it wrong shocker!!!!!!
Takes it back in at half 3, completed and all paperwork with it, woman on reception was awful, she was looking down her nose at me, never smiled once, didn't acknowledge my hello, and when i explained I was bringng paperwork back, she snottily told me that we would have been sent something in the post a month or so ago, (we haven't), and that it won't go thru until tomorrow now as their post goes at 2.15pm (no one bothered to tell us that either, otherrwise I wouldn't have panicked to get it done). She was really snotty and so snooty with it. It made me feel like we are layabouts and criminals just sitting on our backsides doing nothing......like the rest that seemed to have been in there moments before. A group of 3 youths walked past me out of the door, laughing heads off, didn't look as though they were bothered not to have a job.
My poor hubby is getting so depressed with not being able to find a job, he's looking 8-10 hours a day on the net, he checks every single one of his agency alerts, papers, websites and then does letters to companies in the hope something might just be available. When he takes his paperwork in the staff do nothing but glance at it, there doesn't seem to be any concern for people at all. Grrrrr its so annoying, and nothing we can do about it, because if we complain that we feel we are not being treated correctly or that they have cocked up something which effects our lives, we'd be thrown out and not allowed back in.
We have both always believed in working, hubby loves working when its a job that he loves, he hates being at home all the time. Its a feeling of shame almost to be on the 'dole' claiming benefits. The fact we can claim for different benefits, after working for xx years, does kind of feel 'right' after all, haven't we earned it. But it still feels wrong. Then we go into somewhere that people are supposed to be helping us and get handled like dirt.
Rant over, doing a lot of that aren't I, not being mardy this time, just angry at some people.
