those 2 lbs will disappear in no time Ellie - your menus look right back on track. Hope you feel better. Has the wind calmed down up there? Was blustery again today here and horses still a bit unsettled. The broodmare that came in yesterday is showing signs of early delivery so vets have started her on regumate tonight and have taken a swab to see if there is an infection - she is also on antibiotics as a precaution too. She has been going around with her tail up all day and the baby is very active - she foaled 4 weeks early 2 years ago and we lost the foal so really hope we don't have a repeat. Not too much we can do to be fair. Everything is crossed but I don't think this stormy weather is helping. Anyway on and up - just had my muffins with cream cheese icing - delicious - a new favourite I think!!! x

 

[ellie1969]

no its still very windy.... Hubby and i have just put the barn doors back on after they came off with last nights winds... have chained them tight shut onto a gate inside/across the barn doorway LOL the broodmares rather peed off tonight as ive shut the top door of her stable....cant have another sleepless night worrying that the winds going to take that roof off lol.... think its to calm down soon ... blooming hope so id id rather have snow than these storms

hope your broodies ok ive got till middle of june before the sleepless nights start (took 3 months to get her in foal rather annoying as id wanted to do mare & foal classes with this mare) .... friend had one the was 6 weeks overdue last year .... almost lost her due to colic when she was 5 weeks over

 

[trudyc]

Hate the foal watching, more because I get more nervous the more I do knowing that there will be a problem sooner or later - what optimism!!! LOL. Still calmer down here so hopefully it will travel up country during the night and calm down. Gosh admire you doing mare and foal classes - can never be bothered with all the faff of travelling them to the show etc!!! We do have a Breeders Cup for weanlings in Sept which we usually do with one of them - I enjoy that and so do the babies!!! Great education for them too and they get lots of attention from everyone!!! Never fun body clipping their fluffy coats though - not all of them like that!!!! Anyway back to diet talk - hope your feeling back on track after the Christmas break - I am and it feels nice. Can't wait to break the 200lb barrier!!! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks! x

 

[ellie1969]

I'm looking forward to foal watch this year as last year I slept in a caravan at dads farm during horrendous storms... This year I'll have my bed with the monitor next to me or have it on in the kitchen . I was prepared last year after doing 2 foalings at my friends one of which needed help... So was looking forwardto it instead of being scared witless ... Brought the mare in at 6pm didn't look anywhere near so went home had dinner came back and foal was there and bone dry... The crafty mare must have pushed as soon asi got in the car lol

I will not miss it this year grrr

 

[trudyc]

Now that is the best way -LOVE it when they do that and you come back to a bouncing baby!!! Hope you have a good Dukan day and the weather is better! Feeling the cold today so a big steak coming my way at lunch time I think!!! LOL x

 

[trudyc]

You allright Ellie - no menus/diary for a couple of days? x

 

[ellie1969]

i kinda had a massive blip friday and saturday.... eating all sorts of rubbish then last night a friend came to stay and we had oven chips and polished off 4 bottles of wine between us .... so in a rather sorry state today, havent eaten all day as vomited this morning ....have just managed to have some salmon for dinner

 

[CHRISR]

Bet you had a good time though - think I'd have been a right sorry state - 2 glasses and I'm gone. My Son always tells me I'm a light weight with alcohol and spicy food! These 3 said I had to cook Christmas dinner before I could have any champagne. Hope you are feeling a little better sending <hugs>

 

[trudyc]

Oh poor u - being sick just the worst but well done for 4 bottles of wine - a very impressive total - I can manage 1 bottle but any more and I always throw up!! As long as your okay that's the main thing - hopefully you enjoyed the break - not the throwing up obviously but the night in general and feel ready to hit Dukan hard this week - won't have made any difference to the scales I am sure. Hope the hangover is fading - glad you got some food in your tummy tonight!! x

 

[ellie1969]

have now managed a yoghurt... tummy & head are still a tad delicate. we opened a 5th bottle but by the looks of whats still in the bottle glasses we didnt drink much of it lol...will try and eat something else in a bit otherwise ill wake up starving tommorrow

[trudyc]

That is an impressive hangover lady! LOL!!!! Giggling to myself as I type cos would have probably died if I had drunk that much! Now a word from the worlds worst yo yo dieter, you have done AMAZING on this diet and NOTHING is gonna stop you achieving your goal whatever it is, Christmas is over and you did so very well avoiding mostly everything but now you gotta put your head down and get to your target - you are sooooo near it's gotta be worth it. Hope you feel better and fully recovered in the morning!!! x

 

[ellie1969]

im also the worlds worst yo yo dieter LOL... this it the first diet ever where ive lost every single week apart from xmas .... just need to get past the first few days on it again to get my mojo back... doesnt help when hubby leaves a box of roses with its contents all scattered over the worktops grrr

 

[trudyc]

Okay it's official - shoot him!!! LOL!

 

[ellie1969]

I was good , picked them up shut them tightly in their box and shut them in the cupboard lol

 

[Rednicola]

Well done on your willpower that takes a very strong woman x
