JanD's dietchef diary

[JanD]

Laura - that feeling isn't hunger - it's how your body feels when it's burning fat stores ...... (weeeeeeeeel it MIGHT work!!! )

 

[bryal99]

Good luck for WI today - I know you aren't expecting to that well but thinking of you all the same !! Only 1lb this week - nevermind!!

 

[JanD]

Thanks Laura ...... it's tomorrow for but I still appreciate the good wishes. It feels more like facing the music than anything else .. but still ...... just one of those weeks ..... xxx

 

[JanD]

Have changed my mood to scared ...... 1 hour till weigh-in!!!!! (Anyone got a scalpel????)

 

[CarolineM]

Good luck Jan

Could do with some control myself - if you learn the secret, pass it on please.

 

[jrabbit81]

Go Jan!!! x

 

[JanD]

Have changed my 'mood' to 'relaxed' because there is no 'relieved' ..... obviously it could have been better but I'm sooooo relieved as it could have been a hell of a lot worse!!! I gained half a pound!!! PHEW!!!!

I'm not changing my ticker ...... leaving it till next week with crossed fingers!!!

Thanks for all your good wishes xx

 

[bryal99]

Hey - not bad then, as a result considering !!! 1/2 is nothing and you can turn it around!!

 

[CarolineM]

Phew It's a great feeling when you get on the scale and it isn't as bad as you think it will be.

Laura - are you feeling more cheery?

 

[bryal99]

Thank you for asking Caroline - I kinda am, and not, at the mo !! :cry:Work is not good - found out today that despite being understaffed we are expected to cover another role that is vacant and this is despite having been reassurred that this wouldn't happen less than 8 weeks ago (when the writing was on the wall!!) - so typical of the health service, Sorry I am rambling - but this was so not good news today and perhaps I need to think about a career change!! :wave_cry:
I am also quite tired - a combination of the diet and unwell children (at night) and I (much like lo chan am missing the choc!!) and then to top it all my 2nd 5 week hamper arrived missing all the granola !! So I had to ring and sort that out!!:sigh:
BUT on a positive note I snuck on the scales this morning and the weight - I think is starting to move again and I am another lb down..........

 

[CarolineM]

That's good news about the weight starting to shift *hugs*

Sounds like you have your head just above the water right now Hopefully the kids will get over their bugs soon and you can get some rest - that can sometimes make a big difference to mood and reaction to stress.

Shame about work I'm familiar with the old "promises" and then them being broken - the excuse is that circumstances change but it can appear a let down imho. No harm in looking around for a new job even in these times - at least you will get a sense of being proactive and who knows, maybe something will head your way.

Chin up *hugs*

Jan - you still doing the nights?

 

[JanD]

Still doing nights Caroline - that's a permanent condition, but I'm off this week. Some people might think that's a good thing but the only thing that stops me drinking EVERY night is the fact that I work for 3 of them.

I know I must sound like a raging alcoholic - but I'm just being honest. Also - because I'm off I'm catching up with friends, which involves lunches etc. and - it's my grandson's birthday today and my daughter's tomorrow.

My 2 adopted grandsons are coming to stay tomorrow night so I have all kinds of 'kiddie' foods in 'just in case'.

I guess what I'm leading up to here is - I'm having another bad week diet-wise ..... I'm not going to stress about it .... I WILL get back on track - one of these years .... If my friends' death taught me anything it's to live your life while you've got it. That might sound like an excuse but I don't mean it to be - I'm certainly not giving up!!!!

Are you feeling back to normal now Caroline?

Laura - I work for the health service - need I say more?? ...... commiserations on your troubles there but glad the scales are in your favour!! They should - be you're working so hard at it!

xxx All xxx

 

[bryal99]

Thank you Jan and Caroline for all your kind words ! You are so sweet !!

It makes me so cross that the NHS survives on goodwill from the staff and sometimes you wonder why you bother!! moan moan

DC going to plan - but seriously missing my wine tonight ..............arty0036:Will stay out of wine cellar......(I wish !!) more like rack !!

 

[CarolineM]

*hugs* to you both

Jan - I know exactly what you mean. My father's death really put life in perspective. I've met so many obsessed, miserable people and I don't want to join that club - been there, done that. I'm practically back to normal - just the occasional coughing fit and sneeze. But I'm smiling and pain free - woohoo!

Drink has never really been a big thing for me. I have a tendency for binge eating but it's not as bad as it once was. Drank in my youth - then the hangovers came and then the even worse hangovers followed and well, I just have the occasional drink now.

Right, bed for me - I so like my sleep.

 

[JanD]

2.5lbs on - could have been a lot worse ... Just I could kick myself that I've undone everything I've done for weeks :sigh: :break_diet: Ah well ..... here we go again ......

 

[bryal99]

It's just a blip Jan and you CAN turn it around!!

Go for it!!

 

[CarolineM]

It's water weight I bet. A good 100% week and you'll be seeing a gain I'm sure.

You know you can do it. 28 lbs gone already

:cry::cry::break_diet::sign0163: .............. :Na_Na_Na_Na::massmoon:

 

[JanD]

Despite SOME people (who shall remain Carolineless ..... I MEAN nameless .... ) predicting a gain for me next week even if I'm 100% :cry:.... I'm having a good day so far ...

Okay I've only been up for 3 hours and have all night to go but it's been a good start ...

 

[CarolineM]

Oh my goodness!

So so bad me - sorry

I do solemnly swear never to post before my morning coffee has kicked in.
