From here to Eternally Slim

[Eternalflame]

Hi everyone

CD, am still awaiting for my sofas grrrrr still on their way apparently.

Had stitches out this morning, and then had a vasel vagel attack, I only get them when I go and have to have something done in hospital, a little like a fit, but had asked to lie down anyway, so didn't fall.. and I was definately in the right place, lol.. Anyway, its not healed very well, as they had to do one loose stitch last week as I'd torn it.. so they've covered the wound in paper strips, and told me to keep it dry for another week, then fine to get it wet and they should fall off in bath naturally. So just means another week, not at the gym, and a double jointed act in the bath with one foot in and one foot out, lol..

I have a friend coming over this eve, used to go to school with him, so be nice to sit and chat on my new sofas when they eventually turn up! He's a nice guy, but nothing in it for me, don't like him in that way, but he feels differently and I said I couldn't promisse anything, especially right now. Booked holiday on Thurs night, off to Lanzarote end of August for 10 nights on an all inc, so I have a good aim againto shift this weight.

Its gorgeous out there, hope you all have a great day xxxx

:character00238: Happy Mothers to day all the Mummys on here today. Hope you have a good day. :flowers:
My son brought me flowers in bed before he rushed off to work this morning, which was nice. MY eldest daughter is coming over in a while and then collecting my other daughter, to take to the pup to see my Mum, Dad, Brother and his family. not sure about cooking yet.. but I have food in just in case, otherwise will cook that tomorrow.

My sofas turned up and its amazing how much it has transformed the house, into a home now, sooo comfy.

I decided that I'd take a chance this morning to have a shower, as found some bubble wrap from unpacking. so tied it on my foot (looked like I was visiting the moon) and still my foot got wet. Need a different approach, as need to keep these strips dry on my cut. Any ideas gals and guys? xxx

Happy mthers day to you all. Hope you have lovely days. My son still hasnt contacted me......so no change there


EF when My OH had a foot op we used food/freezer bags taped them round and round with micropore tape (so they came off easily after) then over that a carrier bag....taped the same way but higher up the leg. this worked really well and it didnt let any water in.... long enough for a decent shower (and he shaves in the shower too) x x

 

[Eternalflame]

Great idea Cd. I shall try that. Had a tesco bag tied on to my foot this morning, although the bottom leaked a little my dressing didn't get wet. But its still bleeding a little and not sure why, when they put the paper strips over it. Just want to get back to the gym now, lol and a good swim too.

Its gone really quiet on here, hope everyone is ok.

Good luck for WI's tonight. Im going for mine tomorrow (don't hold much for a loss as not good weekend, but a STS will be fine). I've found a Friday late afternoon group so the following week will be going on Fridays for now on.

Have a good day xxxx

*walks in a hangs head in shame*

hello all,

CD hope your twitchin is better now sweety!!

EF glad you got your new sofas and although you are not interested in that way, its always nice to know that someone has a bit of a love interest in you and you were honest with him which is all you can be.

Ive fallen off the wagon with a thump following my great grandmas funeral, im back on it today but not in the best of moods atm!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!! xx

 

[Eternalflame]

Hi Pesty

Sorry to hear that you have slipt a bit. Its only a temporary blip and you are back on it. you can't expect to be thinking of sticking to anything when you are going through grief, its getting by one day at a time, then the funeral and slowly, things start coming together again. You'll get there honey. xxxx

 

[pesty]

Thanks sweety. Im hoping that i can just unmotivatedly stick to plan until tomorrow night and then after WI i will get my mojo back! xx

 

[Eternalflame]

Good idea. Stay with it, even if its not full steam ahead. I'll be happy for a STS tomorrow night and then will really hit it for next Fri's loss. Will be back at the gym that week too and goes hand in hand for me. If Im not exercising, then my helathy eating plan is out of sink and vice versa, lol. We'll get a "good" loss next week. xx

 

[pesty]

Yea i know what you mean, i stop all the exercise and went back to concentrating 100% of food cuz if i exercise im tempted to cheat as i know i will burn it off - which i never do!!

I think it was as i have had two gains in two weeks and it's sooooo hard this close to target that i tiny blip ruins a week so this week when i had an excuse to go a bit of plan i just went crazy instead!! x

 

[rosiepeace]

*hugs* Pesty - sorry to hear things aren't great but as EF said just take it one day at a time things will start to fall into place once the initial grief eases a bit.

EF - I hope that your foot starts to heal up really soon and that you can manage to get back to the gym as soon as possible.

I hope everyone is getting on really well and managing to stay on the wagon. I've not been properly on plan for a fair while now and it is annoying me somewhat - I start out with great intentions but they all go to the wall. It's not helping the DH isn't eating at all at the moment due to health issues. Means I'm only cooking for me and LO - and LO is going through a major fussy time where he only wants to eat toast! So am desperatly trying to find something I can cook that he will eat as well as I really hate cooking for one and watching LO throw away the food I've cooked for him is depressing!
Anyway WI tonight I gained 2.5lbs so am now gonna head right back to basics for this week so hopefully I can lose a bit for next week.

 

[ronniejacobs]

sending hugs to everyone,
having a crap time of it all have put a post on the off topic forum so would be really happy if anyone has any advice. good luck for all the weighers this week

 

[pesty]

Hey rosie, sorry about the gain huni but you're bound to have a few gains along the way! Back to basics is the way forward. I hope DH is better soon too.

Ronnie (((hugs))) i hope everything is ok sweety

I managed to stay on track last night, I'm going to WI tonight and then get back 100% on track to try and get these last lbs moved, I should have been at target ages ago, if only i can stop mucking about!! xxx

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Morning all!

I had a HORRENDOUS 4lb gain last night. No excuses, other than my sons 18th and I made some quite splendid cupcakes. It was on Sunday so a fair portion of my 4 would have been food weight and a bit of water retention from the drinking - but still, it needs to be gone by next week. Im out of target range. Back on it with a vengeance today. Treating today as if I am just starting SW for the first time. (And hoping that the psychology of that will help me pull off a "first week" weight loss!!!)

Pesty - you dont need to slink in here all shamefaced, you have had very good reason for a dive offplan, and I think every one of us knows that having your head in the right place is 95% of the battle here.

You'll get there.

Ronnie, I had a quick look at your off topic post but I think maybe you could do with some advice from people going through a similar thing, have you looked around for forums that discuss the condition you have? I dont know if such a thing exists but as it is so specific it might be worth a shot having a look for one. (((hugs)))

Rosie, how far along are you now? You cant have too much further to go surely? Lovely to hear from you

EF, glad to hear you have somewhere to park your cut foot. You know you can buy those paper strips from the chemist? I think they are called "steristrips". They arent particularly cheap but might be worth getting a packet so you can shower without the worry if they come off. Hope you heal up soon!

 

[pesty]

Hey MLM,

Thanks for the kind words, sorry about the gain but at least it was a planned occasion and not a random wander of the SW path! Im sure you'll get that off next week your brilliant at getting yourself back on track!!!

xxxx

 

[constantlydizzy]

Hi Hope you're all ok? Not been online much the last few days as I was a tad grouchy waiting for the 'jabs' to work so I could stop the damn morphine sulphate (I hate taking those sooooo much, they just knock me out and make me feel awful)

anyway Things are definately back to where they shoupd be no spasms and eyebrows & top lip where they should be

MLM with your determination that gain will have gone by next WI.

Rosie sorry OH is not well & LO is having a 'fussy eaty' stage :sigh: keep your chin up hunni x x

Ronnie Ive read you're post but I have no idea at all so cant really offer any advice.....sorry hun

Pesty Ive been on your Diary and left a message there for you hun. Good luck for WI tonight ( Im dancing !! )

 

[rosiepeace]

Hi guys

MLM - you will def lose that gain this week hun - just watch you don't loose too much otherwise you will end up under your target range.

CD am glad that the injections are working and that you are feeling more like yourself again.

Ronnie - sorry hun *hugs* can't help with the specific problem you've posted as I really don't know anything about it - like MLM suggested try looking for forums dedicated to it.

Pesty *hugs* I hope things start to settle down for you again soon.

I do hope that everyone else is doing ok and sticking to the wagon.

I am now 30 weeks along so only 10 weeks till my due date which has been set at 9th June. We have just finished painting the spare room - my son will be moving in there on Friday. Then we'll get his old room painted and get it set up for the baby - have got the cot, car seat and pushchair so think we're basically all set. Have a visit to the midwife tomorrow - at the hospital last week my bump was only measuring 24 weeks instead of 29 but on the scan baby was measuring correct so will be interesting to see what the midwife says about it this week.

Today's food has been a wash out so will be starting again tomorrow! Am just hoping that one of these day's tomorrow will actually arrive!

I got a steamer for my birthday - now I just need to work out what I can do in it and start using it!

Morning all.

Thanks for all the dancing yesterday - I lost a pound.

Which is pretty exciting, because....


...


... it got me into the 10s, for the first time ever, since before I left school!

(Admittedly its 10st 13 1/2 - but that doesn't matter. It's in the 10s. Woooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo!)

 

[pesty]

Well done huni!!! Your in the 10s!!!! How exciting!! I'm also dalying in the higher end of the 10s when i first got there it was the first time ever and it was so exciting!!!

Go get your target now girly!!

Very suprising WI result for me... I LOST 2lbs!!! xx

 

[Eternalflame]

arty0011: Well done Pesty, you have done so well. Sarah, you must be thrilled. Can't wait to get into the 11's myself, but the 10's.. fantastic!!

Rosie, good to see you on here. Your pregnancy has gone quick, bet you are so excited. You baby will be the first Eternallyslim group's mum newborn .

MLm, I second CD, that teeny gain will be gone before you know it.

Cd,glad to hear that you are feeling so much better .

I had a STS week (which was expected), and as I said last week, am moving my WI to a Friday next week (thurs the week after with the BH) and fridays for now on, it will make it easier as the weekend is usually when I fall off a little, so will have the rest of the week then to stay 100% and to loose.

I'm aiming to get back to the gym next week, my cut should have healed enough to do that by then.

Re work - Off to Thorpe Park with work next Tues, and have been asked to do a supervised contact in Ireland on the 19th April, so am taking 2 young girls to see their nanny, looking forward to that. Work is going well and really enjoying it, getting inundated with work given to me now. Still waiting to hear about my SW secondment, but if I get that, it will mean I can do my degree and be qualified in 2-3 years.

[rosiepeace]

Way to go Jim and Pesty Please you both had a fab loss - and to be in the 10's is fab - can't wait till I can get there one day!

EF - am excited but just so busy with trying to get everything sorted and still trying to sort hubby and son out - moved son into his new room tonight - he had a bit of a hissy fit about going down but is now asleep so hoping he will go through and that things will be easier now.

Am so glad to hear that work is going well - and getting to take to little ones to see their nanny in Ireland should be good too. Fingers crossed that you get the SW secondment, hope it all works out.
