How to lose half your body weight in 10 days (Or a bit longer!)

Thanks guys. Well bambino has tonsilitis and conjunctavitus. Had an appointment at 5:20 got seen at 6:20 this was after I was told a Dr would ring back to see whether I need an appointment or not after I rung for one. Thankfully I said I still wanted to come in, he just wanted it to be cleaned twice a day. The Dr said he needs drops 4 times a day and to keep giving him calpol. Nate did manage to scam a biscuit while we were waiting. But by the time he had been seen the pharmacy was shut.

Foodwise I have been fine, which is bon and I have weigh in tomorrow. No toddler groups for us this week meaning Nate can't go on the Easter egg hunt next door :(

Food has been
B: sausage sandwich with onions and mushrooms and a banana 1 syn and 1 heb
S: pear
L: sw quiche, salad and pickles.

Not had tea yet, it is cooked but after waiting at the drs I was going to have to have it after Nate was down (he wouldn't even have his yogurt after only sleeping 20 minutes for his nap he is shattered. Wondering if Gaga will babysit tomorrow.... Probably not.
 
Awww poor little Nate, its awful when our little ones are ill and we cant do much to help them. I hope hes better tomorrow.

Food looks grand hun you will have a good WI.
 
Poor Nate. Hope he's on the mend soon. Good luck for wi Hun x

Poor Nate :( it rubbish you had to wait so long for doc, especially with a little one, its not good enough. Bless him, hope he feels better soon, did you see my eye drops tip earlier? Worth a go if he doesn't like them x

Food as always sounds yummy! Could do with you planning my meals for me for a bit of variety, you always have such yummy menus. Will have a read back through your diary this weekend for inspiration, might be asking for some recipes if you don't mind? Xx
 
scarlet I don't mind one bit. this week has been red and green days from the nov/dec 2012 issue of the sw magazine, with a couple of swaps. I did see your tip and I forgot to say thank you! I haven't got the drops yet, but I will be doing your tip for sure. I started planning this weeks, then realised it is just nate and I for two days. I need to focus, plan and do the online shop. I'll post the week's plan on here if that helps. :)

we only had to wait so long because there was "a complicated case" earlier, which pushed everything back. My mum has been "a complicated case" before (she came in with a nosebleed and nearly died) so I don't mind waiting if it cant be helped. The gp was still smiling and lovely, quick, attentive and professional so I cannot fault her at all.
 
Aww fair enough, that's ok then, just annoys me that my doctor is always late. I mean always! You get the second appointment of the day and you are left waiting half an hour, how is that even possible?! By the end of the day its at least an hour, takes the mick but if its an emergency it can't be helped!

Hope the tip helps! You're very welcome! Figured that out after a particularly terrified child at nursery once, think she thought we were trying to gouge her eyes out with the pointy bit of the eye drops bottle cos she could just see it coming closer and closer to her eyeball and freaked bless her!

I do have all of last years mags so I should at some point just follow a meal planner, but there's always bits in it I don't like or don't fancy so will choose from what you've tried and tested :) had today all planned out but messed it up a bit, been hungry and went over syns but hey ho, won't let it spoil the week which I hope will be the difference! Yeah posting your weeks plan would be fab thanks :)
Are your parents going away next week then? What's the latest on the house? Still waiting?
X
 
oh that's a pain. usually it is the patient not the dr that causes the delay. I just try to think, if it were me who needed extra time i'd hope they'd take care of me rather than worry about time. that said if i thought i needed longer i would book double appointments.

It is a brilliant tip. Nate's most upset at me cleaning his eyes. I discovered if I do it when he's in the bath he can't escape. haha.

The october plan is quite good for comfort food if i remember rightly. I will post the week's plan up tomorrow after group. They are just away thursday until saturday evening. Going to be dullsville as I can't even take Nate to Exeter for the day (new shoes for him) or to the Easter egg hunt next door now :( Might have a friend round for coffee and spray them with disinfectant before they leave.

Definitely don't let one day ruin your week! I could say the roses thing, with having 7 and one dying blah blah, or I could point out slipping up and going over syns one day might give a slight gain which can be pulled back to a loss during the week, continuing to go over syns and saying "blow it!" will always just end up in gaining.

My scales aren't showing a loss at all :( Properly gutted. It'll be official tomorrow morning. I hate this nonsense of my body not doing as it is told. I was so hopeful, and I've kept going with the planner (but with sw quiche and salad instead of tuna salad). 1 EE, 3 Green, 3 Red. lots of variety, plenty of superfree, everything measured and counted. humph.
 
Hey Fran, sorry to hear Nate is still poorly :( hopefully he'll be on the mend soon.

I was surprised I only lost a pound after following the planner but I guess it's just one of those weeks. Good luck honey and hope WI gives you a nice loss :) xx
 
Thanks minks. I gained a lb. Not a happy bunny at all. Will have high syns today (13) and probably a little over syns on Sunday for Nate's birthday. But I will aim to stick to low syns for the other days and I have to use a smaller plate to cit down portions :(

But but but....

I got the house! Yipee! Don't know the moving date yet, but I will know when the builders have given their 4 weeks notice. But yay, hurrah, and yipee! Our own space! And not subject to my mum's mood swings. So glad. We will be next to toddler's and preschool and just 2 minutes from primary school and the bus stop and the park. Yay.
 
That is fantatstic news, so happy for you getting the house. who cares about the 1lb gain, the house news is far far better and worth celebrating.
 
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Fab news Fran im so so happy for you love. I think I could cope with the 1lb gain on the back of that news - I know a gain isnt good but it will come off next week even with allowances for Nate's lovely day.


 
WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO well done about the house I am sooo pleased for you. Boo to the gain - which doesn't make any sense by the way but then when do our bodies?

Poor Nate I hope hes better soon.
 
Hehe, thanks guys I'm pretty excited unfortunately I also feel like cr@p and I am shattered and hungry. Used a smaller plate for my tea and I am sooo hungry :( got an a and b to have, and syns but I just feel like cr@p. Going to bed after corrie. Mum's getting drunk tonight so I will be glad for the excuse to go to bed early. Here's hoping Nate will stay asleep tonight.
 
Hope you &amp; Nate feel better soon. An early night will be just what you need, I'm gonna try for an early night too. Hope Nate sleeps for you.
