Help needed for 1st day......

Yes indeed he is! I saw them years ago and they are brilliant live. You will have a great time :) what a fab Xmas present - would love to do that for my sister. She says Adam is her next husband lol.

Aww bless your OH working so much. Hopefully you will get some time together over Xmas to make up for it. I'm so used to us not going to bed at the same time any more. Bf is a proper night owl. As long as he doesn't fall asleep on the sofa I don't moan too often lol.

Only had 7.5 syns today so gonna get me a cuppa and treat in a bit. Dinner and bath are done - now for ironing :(
 
eurgh! feel your pain on the ironing...i have some to tackle but it'll need to wait til fri night...or sat morning.

i really like them and love their album...never got it off when i'm in the car and i sing my wee heart out lol

robin thick is the support artist i think....been so long since i've been to a concert but couldn't pass up on the tickets...they'd rescheduled the event hence the reason i could get tickets when i checked.
been booked since june and all i wanted to say way woo hoo...but couldn't lol.

gonna go waken my OH now, he needs fed and showered before heading out again...best of it is, we'll probably be in at the same time tomorrow afternoon!
happy birthday to me eh lol x
 
Oooh is it tomorrow!? Hope you are doing something nice and not just snatching a few hours between sleeps with your other half.

Is tomorrow an off plan day then!?
 
tomorrow yeah...but i'm working and it will be an hour catch up before his bed i imagine.
not planning to be off plan tomorrow. if anything, will be the weekend depending on what we end up doing.

i had originally suggested going out for dinner...but still heard nothing from my friend...will see if i hear from her tomorrow and if she mentions it.
not sure i can be ar$ed going out so if not, maybe me and my OH could just order in and spend saturday night together seeing as we've not had much time this week?

green day tomorrow for me again. bought giant cous cous from asda last week so thought i could try that with a quorn peppered steak and see how it is?
haven't prepared lunch so have packed a mugshot..not had one in ages but if i get a chance at work, i might grab a jacket potato to have with beans instead?x
 
Morning!! Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birrrthday missk!!! Haaaaappy birthday to you! :)

It might be nice to order in and snuggle up for a bit over the weekend instead of going out. There will be lots of going out no doubt over the next few weeks so if I was in your shoes I would order a curry and stick a film on. Shame your friend is unreliable though - I've a few like that.

I didn't take anything out for dinner tonight as we are meant to be out with bf's dad. If we don't end up going ill just stick some tuna pasta on (or jacket potatoes and tuna). Easy and quick lol.

I didn't get as much ironing done as I wanted to yesterday but I will spend some time Sunday catching up on all the housework and hopefully finish up my wrapping :) I did about 4 things last night :)
 
thank you huni! :D

just on quickly before i leave for work....kinda wishing i had taken the day off lol

at least you got some ironing done...it means a wee bit less to do at the weekend ;)

hope you have a great day...will catch up with you later xx
 
I think I'm about to collapse in exhaustion and lack of veggies!! Bring on my Xmas break!

Hope you are having a lovely weekend spending time with OH for your birthday.

:)
 
oh lack of veggies is also happening for me today..and lack of fruit, and free foods :-/
was on plan yesterday even with my work's lunch which is good....but i've not cooked a thing today and been hungry and not ar$ed...so you know what happens there.

just out the shower, waiting on food then gonna cuddle up...can't wait!!x

enjoy the rest of your weekend huni...x
 
I think in my mind I've already given up for Xmas lol. I have bought some nice meat from the butchers so we will have a few nice dinners but I won't be back on plan 100% this week.

I have my work Xmas do plus really long days at work Monday and Tuesday so it will be really difficult. I'm just gonna do what I can and not stress too much.

Feeling hungover today even though I didn't drink last night. Got a tiredness headache! :( early to bed for me I think!!

Did you get to spend much time with your OH!? Hope you did hun x
 
hey missy :)

how are ye? and how was your weekend?

well...i decided to brave a weigh in at tesco this morning and was utterly horrified!
10 lbs ON since last WI 2 weeks ago.
10 lbs!!! 10 fekin lbs???!!!

wtf....how is that even possible?? :( :( :(

i am so disappointed, upset, annoyed at myself! and literally can't believe it's that much!!! surely not? how is that even possible?
i know i've not been on plan the whole time in that 2 weeks...but i have at the same time and i'm just gutted.

didn't even want to announce it on here i'm so ashamed but it's definitely made me think that there is no way i should be relaxing this week!!

i have nothing on from now until next week so that gives me 7 days where i could get something off!

just can't believe it...and the best of it is, i've probably got more to go on from yesterday?

i dunno whether to try and use an excuse that maybe some of it will be fluid from white rolls i've had etc, or that it's 2 weeks before * week (which is when i usually get my gain when i'm on track 100%) but to be honest, no excuses necessary...i've not stuck to plan and this is the result...but i'm horrified at the speed and the amount of the gain :(

i could feel it myself that i was noticing i was feeling not as comfortable as before and was beginning to be a bit like "hmmph...need to get this month out the way" but there is no way i can afford to do the same this week...or i'll end up putting half the weight on i'd lost...and for what...a couple of rolls on sausage and some chunky kit kats!!

so, after the scales, i grabbed a bag of apple and grapes cos i was starving, went for a subway salad then went for xmas lights....better than hitting mcdonalds eh!

fruit and yog for breakfast has been consumed, gonna have the salad at lunch time and chicken/gammon and veg for dinner....red day to kick start it (EE if i really feel i need it later) but seriously....if that's what happens when we go back to eating like we used to here and there...then i'm gonna have to spend the rest of my life constantly battling!

anyway....it's either gonna give me the boot up the ar$e i need...or it's gonna send me spiralling into a bag of walkers...and i'm praying for the 1st lol.

just can't believe it's that much... 8lbs?? :cry:

That's insane hun. Take a deep breath and step back. You normally get a gain of between 2 and 4lb before *week. So that's maybe half of it explained. Even if it was only 2lb then some can probably be explained by bloating and water retention.

So if you look at it that way, 4lb in 2 weeks isn't so bad if you have been indulging a lot - especially white bread and kitkats.

The main thing is that you have done the right thing by planning and getting some SuperFree bought. Don't let this stop you in the long run. It's been such a long time since you have let yourself go that it's natural to go overboard. Plus this time of year we all indulge a bit so don't be so hard on yourself.

What's your plan for tomorrow then to kick start a good week!?
 
the kick start started today...food looked like this for the day: RED -

a pear and an apple and grape snack pack while i was out 1st thing then
bowl of fruit salad with yog and a boiled egg (separately lol) when i got home

lunch was chicken subway salad

dinner was chicken with carrots, sprouts, pickles and onions cooked in gravy then some leftover fruit salad with scan bran cake through

syns are 8.5 for the day (gravy, dressing and some crisps)...reckon this could pass for success express cos it's literally been fruit and veg galore at every meal :)

gonna have a think about dinner tomorrow...i'm off cos i'm working saturday which means i will do my bits and bobs tomorrow.
tempted for another red day

how was your day...busy?x
 
Today was insane. I was at my desk just gone half 7 and left parliament at 6:30pm!! The day was jam packed and I'm cream crackered now snuggling in my onesie watching dynamo: magician impossible.

Only one and a half more days in the office (although I'm working in the butchers up to Xmas). Can't wait til Xmas now. I've run out of Sellotape :) you all set?
 
the butchers will be manic too! you're a glutton for punishment lady lol

almost all set...think i'm ok present wise but still need to tackle the wrapping...for my wee one and my OH but it's tricky for the santa stuff cos it's all up the loft....i need my OH to get it down so trying to get that to happen when he's working crazy hrs is a challenge...and then of course, it needs to be when teeny isn't about. saturday night seems like the best time so that's the plan :)

what are you doing on xmas eve? we're just having it here, ordered a steak pie from the butchers (hardly traditional but my little one picked and i'm not fussed seeing as we have roast dinners all the time on sw) so that'll be a nice treat...not had it in ages. think i'm gonna make sw roasties to have with it and veg...prawns to start maybe - nothing too fancy lol x
 
Yeah the butchers is gonna be stupidly busy but it's quite a laugh working there really and they will have a few drinks for us while we are working so we don't miss out :)

Xmas eve I'll be at the butchers in the day giving out turkey's lol. Then in the evening I'll be out for a few drinks with a couple of my friends. Bf and I usually start the night separately and meet up just before 12 to see Xmas in. Then we get home by about 1am and open up our presents from each other with a nice cuppa before bed. Love this tradition - presents are more fun when you are tipsy lol.

I always have an early start Xmas day as I have to be round my dads by about 7am (my step mum gets a bit excited!!). Bf goes to his mums for dinner at lunchtime so he gets a lie in and then I meet him there later on. Boxing Day we will be doing the rounds seeing various different people and dishing out presents :) that will probably be my first lie in of my Xmas break lol

Maybe you are right - I am a glutton for punishment lol
 
it all sounds good fun...but 7am after a night on the vino....eurgh! lol

what time do you have off over the xmas period? i finish on saturday and that's me until the schools go back (6th jan i think) - 6 days hol used for that break isn't too bad :)

not sure whether to nip to asda this morning once i've done the school run...i really should cos i have a few things on today and need to get some worky stuff cooking done....but it's cold and i'd rather just snuggle up...if only eh lol

took mince out last night to make burger for dinner so gonna try for another red day today....will see how i go with my nibbling as i cook - it could change to EE hehe

you ok this morning?x
 
I'm having a great day today so far :) I got into work this morning to some lovely emails with positive feedback from my line manager and director for my work over the last few weeks. Always nice to hear you are appreciated.

I also get to finish at 4:30 after a long afternoon meeting so I'm heading to oxford street for a bit of Christmas browsing before mewing an old school friend for a glass of wine :)

So a fun day planned but not v SW conscious!! Hmmm!!

You sound like you are on a mission after yesterday. You feeling better?!
 
can't beat an earlier finish....and well done you on the feedback ;)

yep, i'm feeling better sw wise....cos i was in control yesterday and aiming for the same today. TMI coming but feel better at the loo already - i always notice the difference if i've been eating crap!
going for red again - fruit salad, yog and scan bran cake for breakfast. gonna have some sausage, egg and bacon soon and burger for dinner.

made my things for work and DIDN'T scoop the crumbly dahl loaf into my mouth - yay! lol

i've wrapped my OH's pressies and a few bits and bobs so it only leaves santa's stuff...feel like i have control of my life totally now pmsl.

getting my hair done later...my friend's doing it for my xmas instead of buying me something...well...i hope she is cos i've not been to the bank...but i can see it far enough really cos she's hurt my feelings due to lack of effort on her part with even a birthday text not to mention no response to the dinner invite!
story of my life with people really but i know i'm going to be funny with her if i don't say anything...not sure how it'll work out! :-/

enjoy your xmas browsing....x
