I am gonna lose it!

[lolapink]

Ooh I love my slanket, I feel so cold even with the heating and fire on! My oh takes his tshirt off and boils!!!

 

[Mirjam]

I'm keeping strong... had a businesswomen's network committee meeting tonight and everyone around me was eating but not me. It wasn't that hard until they put cheese in front of me but I just didn't look at it lol.

 

[pudge]

yayy well done... so glad you have one up on the cheese .. lol...glad youre keeping strong xx

 

[PaulaJ]

Mirjam -1 Evil Smelly Cheese - 0 What a result!!

Seriously though, well done that would have been tough! One day cheese will be your friend again but for now pretend it has betrayed you in an unforgivable way!

 

[pudge]

but for now pretend it has betrayed you in an unforgivable way!

PMSL... you crack me up sometimes Paula!!.. but it is one way of staying away from the food...BAD CHEESE!!!!

 

[Mirjam]

Very bad cheese indeed!

Week 2 day 5: ketosis level has gone up to 1.5 woohoo! When on the scales this morning I lost over 2lbs after scales not dropping for 2 days. Am very curious how much I have lost coming Monday and hopefully will be able to fit in a jeans size smaller. Going to the gym in an hour or so to burn off some extra calories as well

 

[lolapink]

Have a good sesh at the gym, I'm hoping to get back and start next week, I have a feeling I keep saying that! If I say it enough it might just happen! As soon as I get back into it I get that buzz and then on a roll - but its just to hard to restart

 

[Mirjam]

I know it's hard to restart but it'll be worth it tho! x

 

[PaulaJ]

Hehe pudge, glad to be of service

Mirjam, you sound like you've got everything under control! That would be awesome if you could fit into a size smaller on Monday after only 2 weeks on LT! but don't be disappointed if not because it's coming!!

Enjoy your gym session, wish I could be bothered... I will one day!

xx

 

[Mirjam]

I won't be disappointed, well... maybe a little lol but I know it will happen. I hope I will enjoy the session, probably only after I've finished hahaha

 

[Mirjam]

I need to put my thinking head on, I've been asked by a bridal magazine for some unusual and quirky ideas for a wedding. Hmm... not gonna be easy! Any suggestions? Ooh, Claire, can I use your over the rainbow theme? x

Depends what they mean by quirky/unusual? Do they mean like Satan worshipper quirky? lol

I have no idea why... but Alice in Wonderland just popped into my head, I haven't thought about this in depth because I know nothing about organising a wedding having had a very small registry office wedding and a meal at a restaurant after!

I always love looking at wedding pictures from the 1940's like my grandparents wedding pics, where the men were often in their army/navy/RAF uniforms and the ladies wearing quite modest dresses in comparison to today but so beautiful and poised. I like the idea of the romance of it all, with the men all away serving their country and the women doing their bit at home (my nan worked in a munitions factory) the thought of them writing love letters and so looking forward to the men's return. Awww.

Obviously, in reality WW2 was horrific but the pictures are so romantic.

[Mirjam]

No, they don't mean that Paula!

Boohoohoo! Am disappointed with myself, I only managed to burn 473 cals at the gym instead of the normal 550-600 I've burnt even less calories than when I started! Could this be because I'm still not completely recovered from that pulled bum cheek muscle or because I'm just tired because of LT?

This is what the reporter wants from me:
"I’m simply looking for three or four really fresh, thoughtful, quirky or unique ideas (in terms of products, services, themes, little finishing touches etc) that won’t have normally crossed brides’ minds - ideas that would really set a wedding apart from the rest and bring that all-important wow-factor. It could be a twist on tradition, a game that brings the reception to life or a favour that makes guests really smile. I’ll be covering all aspects from venues and decoration through to entertainment and favours and I’m looking for quotes of around 100-150 words per idea."

Remember that show you watched on BBC iPlayer... you'll still be burning calories for the next 20 hours so don't get disheartened. In the grand scheme of things you burned about 70cals less than normal, what's that? a banana???

I'm going to have a think about your brief and get back to you later lol

 

[Mirjam]

I remember Paula, I was thinking exactly to same whilst driving home
Thanks for that, I already have one story sorted and that's a country wedding. I've thrown someone a 40-th birthday party and the theme was barn hoe so I can use that for a wedding as well ;-)

 

[lolapink]

Ooh I love themes, weddingbee is a fab American website I go on where brides blog about their weddings and there have been some great ideas! I have am having Hollywood Glamour with my mermaid shaped gown and the men are in tux's, with black not bow ties and braces. My oh is even wearing black and white spats shoes! My bouquet is either black or grand prix red roses and the centrepieces are candalabras with crystals hanging off! Black and white touches with bows on seat covers etc. Cupcake tower, sweetie buffet, I've got massive brandy glasses I want to fill with black and white sweets! Im having a rat pack singer and casino, very James Bond! If not that I would have had a country vintage chic theme - fresh garden flowers in empty jam jars on tables, garland in hair, bunting, hog roast. Colourful bride shoes are all the rage now. My flowergirl is having a replica of her dress made for her doll instead of flowers as she carries her "baby" everywhere - shes only 2!
Any more areas you want ideas on give me a shout, coz I can just waffle on for bleedin hours and might be totally off the mark, its the saleswoman in me x

 

[Mirjam]

Thanks Claire, will keep it in mind Love your theme! xxx

 

[pudge]

hey Mirjam! dont worry about the gym! at least youre doing something i dont think i could face the gym right now even if i had the time so youre well ahead of the pack already! .. its a great feeling to be settled into the diet isnt it! no freaking out about whats happening or what to eat,, its simples!!

How is your bum cheek lol! hope its mending quickly!

Claire your theme sounds amazing! I always think of my wedding theme (when i eventually get married...which i will because ill be one hot tottie ) and im always so set on it and then i read about another and i get all confused! ill ever be able to make my mind up lol!!
It must be so stressful! Thats so cute about your flowergirl, i love all those little personal touches that make it that bit different! you must be getting so excited!

As for your brief Mirjam thats tough! but i will keep my thinking cap on and if i come up with anything or see anything ill let you know.... maybe a few episodes of four weddings would help? lol xx

 

[Mirjam]

Thanks Pudge! My bumcheek is getting better but I managed to injure my elbow area. Not sure whether it's where the muscle is attached to the bone or something else but can hardly lift my arm and going to the gym made it worse

What's your wedding theme? I've come up with some other ideas so will keep on thinking on it but appreciate you thinking with me

How are you doing today? xxx

 

[PaulaJ]

Oh Claire! You're wedding sounds like it's going to be amazing! Can we all have an invite? pmsl! I especially like the idea of your flowergirl carrying her little mini-me doll, that is so sweet!

For God's sake woman! Will you please look after your body better? First the bum cheek, now the elbow, but seriously... hope that gets better soon xx I couldn't come up with any ideas really mirjam, mine were all cheesy and unoriginal! You know how I like my cheesefests :giggle:
