Good morning...
Yes he's doing good.. Little sh1t has taken to tryna bite.. he bit Jonathan's armpit last night.. Then tried to bite my leg!! Will nip that fairly sharply!!!
It is and it isn't.. I dont' want him to get too used to being called incase we decide on something else.. But we need to decide soon as its hard to shout at him when you don't have a name to shout!!

How are you today hun? Anything nice planned for the weekend? Any more long walks planned? x

aw no!! just tell him off, puppies are so like children and go all sulky dont they! and pretend it really hurt and ignore him after (so hard!!) he will learn. Guessing its only playful as well?!

o yer i bet!!! hard to shout and tell him off without a name lol!! bless him! such a cutie!!

im good thanks sooooooooooooooooooooo glad its friday!!! im meeting a friend i havent seen for like two years tomorrow (we were really close, used to work together, went on hols etc, but then we kind of drifted apart! so just going to meet up at lunchtime for a drink :) ) tomorrow morning i will go for a walk, Steve's working at 8:30 so i will be up early and not meeting my friend till 1:30 so will go for a hour and half/two hour walk :) and then me and Steve are going to chill out sat eve and watch 21 jump street (more channing tatum) and then go to Ikea on sunday! wahoooo :)

what have you got planned hun? xxxx
 
My house at home was like that.. No room to wing a mouse never mind a cat.. lol
Ah I don't think i'll ever have a big loss again.. i'm bloody stuck!! But sure as long as I'm not gaining I'll be happy :)
Yea been lucky to get in my 2ltr min target each day this week.. Bad compared to last week where I was gettin in 3 - 4 ltrs a day but sure 2 is the recommended so good enough :)
Have my bottles at home ready n chilling for the weekend so hopefully will keep up drinking it over the weekend.. That's usually where I fail... So fingers crossed :)
Defo gona keep up the exercise tho.. If nothing else I get a great sleep after ha ha :)

You'd be surprised I think - a good week with some exercise mixed in and I bet the true loss will be showing up next week!!
If you're getting in 2L then you're doing fab - I struggle to get that in sometimes. I easily half a litre after exercise though - it's the only time I feel reeeeally thirsty! I'm too much of a tea and coffee drinker - need to try to cut down on that a bit as I don't think it's helping my sleeping. I only get a couple hours unless I take a pill but if I take the meds, I feel I can't get up in the mornings! Iwalked into the wall this morning because I was so drowsy :eek: Defo good if it knackers you so you get a nice sleep - nothing like a nice sleep...

Just read about your pup nipping at ya's... defo nip that in the bud. If it gets bad, tap him sharply on the nose and say "NO" loudly (while standing over him - let him know you're the pack leader). Sometimes you only have to point and shout NO and then ignore the dog. The ignoring thing really REALLy does work - they can't stand being left out of the pack... you and Jono just turn your backs and leave him and he'll soon learn not to do that if he wants your company. It is hard to be firm with dogs because of those big puppy eyes lol... but the firm "NO" and the ignoring really can work for any bad behaviour they get into.
Try and teach him to sit, stay and give the paw and praise him for good behaviour too :)

He's SO fricking cute though... Seriously...

Aw that sounds like a lovely day tomoro.. And yay to kiea.. :D
I have NO plans and looking forward to doing it too.. Just me and puppy in tomoro as Jonathan has yet more football!!! Great help with training the pup so he is!!! :mad:
And yes, its only playful as he doesn't get the whole "teeth hurt" thing yet but he's learning..

Aw its so hard Sarah so not just pick him up n cuddle him when he gives the puppy dog eyes but it has to be done..
I had to smack him on the nose last night and never mind me ignoring him.. He went in a proper little strop! Didn't work tho.. And he soon learned..
We've been doing SIT... He does it sometimes and ignores us others coz he's so hyper n distracted lol
We were tryna teach thim to fetch last night.. 2 of us like spa's sitting on the floor playing with him... If anyone seen us I swear we'd be locked up.. ha ha aha
 
Yep if you shout "OW" and jerk away from him and then say "NO" and ignore him, he'll soon understand that he shouldn't do it. It is difficult because sometimes they're only playing around but best that they know who's boss all the same. Have you got a crate or kennel you can put him in if he's naughty (like a naughty step lol).
I bet it's so hard to be tough with him because he's such a handsome wee cutie heehee.. X I wanna smush him!!

Just been looking through your recipe thread again for some ideas - I'm defo not cooking enough these days. Getting lazy and had forgotten that healthy can be tasty too. Might try your curry, I've never done that before. That would be a lovely midweek dinner. I never did the chicken cacciatore either... I think my Mum would like that as well.. mmm..

Strange.. As I just had a look thru it there this morning.. Was thinking of doing the curry tonight but gona have the cacciatore... Weird! Just reprinted the recipe about half an hour ago.. It is delish so it'll be like a treat dinner :)
I've not been cooking enough either of late.. Need to step it up again.. And I NEED to add more veg into my dinners..

No we've no crate or anything like that yet.. And putting him out the back is kinda defeating the purpose coz he'll then think he's being punished when we put him out to go toilet.. Been trying to get Jonathan to get that sorted so we can do that.. until we do training is gona be SLOW!!!

haha and he wonders why pup comes running to you!!! he's being the absent father lol! guilt trip coming up :)! and your weekend sounds perfect! chill with pup!!!! when does he have to have his injections etc? xxx

It says online 12 weeks for the injections but I was on to Blue Cross and they said they can do them at 8 weeks... So next week should be ok.. Might leave it another week tho.. Just coz he's so small :(
And I won't be bringing him for them.. The absent father can bring him.. :D
 
yes thats defo fathers duties!!!!! aw bless him!! :( poor pups! you can be the one to give cuddles after :) xxx
 
Aww puppies are so cute but training is a lot of hard work lol! Can't wait to be a proper grown up with a house with a garden so I can get a doggy :-D x

Exactly.. Then he's to get more needles 2 weeks after... Which Daddy can bring him to too :D

Well done on sts .... Why don't you have a bash at a low g.I diet? It's pretty much eating foods that stop the body from releasing as much insulin and too much insulin in the body stores as fat, convenience foods and sweets etc cause this ( since I got my pump I've lost atleast half a stone due to less insulin intake .. You'd have to google it but it's eating foods that keep you fuller for longer such as wholemeal breads n pastas n nuts ... Maybe thatl give your body a kick ?? Xxx

Thanks for the suggestion Claire.. I'll defo check it out.. Nuts are a defo no no for me.. I hate nuts.. Anything past dry roasted peanuts I will not eat.. But its worth a look.. Thanks :)
 
Ahh I'm sure there's loads of low g.I stuff .. I'm not a big nut fan either but if I can loose weight by lowering my insulin then you could deffo loose weight by lowering yours .. An bare in mind my metabolism is screwed due to thyroid ... Get yourself goin on it, bet you'll do cracking xx

I'll definitely look into it.. I've been stuck for a while so anything is worth a try at this stage..

And stupid living with a boy sucks.. As I know have access to a goodies press.. Which I never had at home so am eating loads of crap now that I never did before..
