Lainie's back and on a mission :)

[Lainie10]

no to the galaxy bar - dont let your colleague sabotage you!

hope your pain eases soon - the typing really wont help i suppose but its gotta be done

I was a good girl, yay very happy with myself

As for the wrist, it's going spare if anyone would like it??

Big ouch on the wrist pain I hope it improves soon, sounds very painful. Have a fine Friday

Thanks V, it makes the whole typing thing very awkward, going to see how it is today and I may ask my doc to get me a note for a couple of days off if it doesn't ease up.

But at least it's Friday! (Although I'm in doing 4 hrs overtime tomoz which won't really help the situation..)

Eek at the wrist, hope that one gets better soon, although what would really make me laugh is seeing a picture of your hand writing, I'm always amused at adult hand writing looking like a five year olds - Yes, very strange I am indeed.

Ok, will have to do alot of whispering in this diary now, but will start with well done on a STS considering your week off and not really sticking to plan, but it does go to show just how far you have come already as without realising, you must still have WW at the back of your mind as you have probably made healthy choices or opted for smaller portions.

Very true, I guess although i lived with a little less caution than before, I was still trying to pick the best things... I was always having kids meals out at mcds or bk etc.. and not always having chips n stuff too.. so i guess my unconscious doesnt hugely let me go comp cuckoo lol glad to see it's finally working for me instead of against! lol..


After reading what you put in Rach's diary about the sausage roll - Glad you didn't run downstairs and get one, but it was amazing how much I fancied one that day. Also, for resisting the screams of the Galaxy - They should be outlawed from being in any vending machine or sweet shop purely for the fact that you can't beat a bit of brown velvety/silky heaven!!

Have a great Friday treacle. xxx

I definitely agree all things naughty should not be allowed to sit menacingly in machines audibly tempting us..it's just not fair... Today I have brought in my old friend the rich tea biscuit .. I know its not as delish as the velvety silkyness of the 'G' word.. but hey!

brown velvety, silky heaven makes me feel sick from the thought.. eurgh!

hope you have a lovely day today Lainie.. are you cooking something WW-stylee for tea tonight? if so, feel free to post some food porn as i love finding out what everyones having xxx

Ha ha.. I was out with OH last night at petrol station, and they had a massive bar on sale for just a £1, It was so very very hard to ignore it.....

No WW stylee stuff tonight , friday night is our ritual chinese night so I wil be indulging in some of that instead Most likely chicken chow mein and some rice (shared between the two of us, and he eats more of it than I do...so not too bad really )

Well, my renewed enthusiasm is continuing, woo! I succeeded at staying within my points and was very chuffed with myself today I have made my lunch again, therefore I know exactly what Im eating... xxx

 

[PickyNic]

You're doing so well sticking with it 100% and a sts is good news too.
I am seriously impressed that you got one over on that pesky galaxy and resisted its charms
I always cook the same stuff for me and Andy, it's so much easier that way. I just give him a bit more in his portion or sometimes I'll get him a little something extra to have as a kind of starter. It makes sticking to points so much easier if you don't have the temptation of your OH's non ww friendly dinner around!

Your wrist sounds nasty, i was wincing reading about that

Enjoy your chinese tonight!

 

[florabell]

Well done for resisting the chocolate hun, I think that's what they call a NSV (non-scale victory)

Enjoy the ritual tonight - I have the same one on a Saturday

Have a good weekend and hope the wrist eases a bit xo

 

[Mumma K]

Well done on resisting the temptation of the galaxy bar
and have a lovely day Lainie enjoy the Chinky mmmhhh!!!
I do love a nice chinky me

 

[Lainie10]

Cheers girlies

I've planned out my entire nights points now so I know exactly where I stand in food land, sharing my Chinky takeout with OH brings my share of Chick Chow Mein and Chick Fried Rice to a nice enough 8.5 points..leaving me still with 8 points for the rest of the evening.. OH has another drum lesson tonight meaning foodage will not happen until 9pm or so.. therefore to fill my tum (and to keep it from rumbling near our tuckshop cupboard later on...) i'm going to have toast, mushrooms and cherry tomats (from OH's dad ) when I get in, only using 2 points for the toast, leaving me 6 points, 4 of which I will bank So, yeah! if I dont speak to you before, have a wonderful, wonderful weekend and I wil definitely catch up properly come monday! xxx

 

[blackwidow]

are you doing anything for the big 30 then?

 

[Lainie10]

are you doing anything for the big 30 then?

I don't know tbh, I was hoping it would maybe slip by unnoticed, however December was the OH's 30th, and I stupidly got a woman in our church to make him a cake especially for the occasion, it was amazing, she did it in QPR colours, with a drum kit as he plays lol, and in the drum kit was the QPR logo..it was a very cool cake.. He did tell me tho that I had therefore dropped myself in it for my 30th...so goodness knows! lol.. maybe emigration?!!?!?

 

[vanda]

Have a fantastic weekend, you sound so happy and sorted atm, long may this continue.

I like a chinese myself and will prob indulge on my trip to Brum Mon. Have no fears about the big 30 you whippersnapper you, I've got the big 50 in less than 2 years

Thanks V, weekend was lovely and chilled... so chilled I was almost horizontal..ha ha...

You look like a very young 50 Personally I don't feel a day over 18 which is why it scares me that my body is way older than my mental status...lol... guess one day I should consider the whole 'growing up' malarky... na!!

<grumbles> - Pah, 30! These young un's don't know they are even born these days Vanda, you are ok, apparently, 50 is the new 40, seeing as I am close to the 40's now (Oh jeez, that's sounds horrible, I'm not mentally mature enough to be in my 40's yet!!) does that make it the new 30's?

Anyway, Lainie... I think you might have a proposal for the 30th? How cool would that be?

Have a great weekend chicki, hope the Chink was scrum. xxx

Nic, dont put the thoughts in my head!! lol.. well, anymore than they are in already.... I'm hoping there might be something round that time, it's also his bday in dec, and there's the whole christmas/new year thing to come too... guess it's just watch this space.....

Well, chinese on fri was yum as always , and by the end of the day I came in about 3 points carried over... considering my scoffage on saturday, just as well...

Sat we went out for a random drive, OH decided he wanted to show me the place he used to go to uni about half an hr or so away... pretty little village we spent ages just walking round, and stopped for a drink in a lovely little coffee shop then he took me up to a nature reserve about 10 mins along the road, which had prob the most stunning view I've seen in a long time We'd had such a nice day out that we decided on the way back to be a little naughty and we ended up down the seafront with chips for tea.. then icecream....oops... it was such a lovely day tho, and worth every bite... lol..i'll deal with the fall out if necessary on the scales... i'm calling it a 'controlled blip' if there is such a thing... was good yesterday, however tonight we're going for a curry as one of our friends is moving to canada on weds so it's our last night with him, but i've pointed in for the day my chicken tikka and plain rice, so i wont feel guilty about it

Anyway, almost half 5, been bit of a crazy day, try and catch up with you all properly tomorrow! xxx

 

[blackwidow]

haha when you said you'd decided to be naughty.. i was not expecting fish and chips! xxx

 

[Lainie10]

haha when you said you'd decided to be naughty.. i was not expecting fish and chips! xxx

Ha ha ha ha...... :8855:well that would have been another kind of naughty...

Well, ok, so I was so good and planned in my curry last night...unfortunately I didnt plan in the popadoms we scoffed , or the chocolate ice cream deserty thing we had....oops... naughty lainie... we had a stressful meeting with one of our supervisors prior to going out for meal so i have to admit that the comfort element did sneak in last night, plus the boys were having puds (both 6 foot bean poles) and my resolve just wasnt strong enough... ah well... cutting down today to limit damage, but have decided im not going to my official WI tomorrow.. one of our leaders isnt very encouraging if you havent lost anything and Im a bit annoyed at myself cos Ive slipped over the last few days.. I'm going to go down boots and find out the damage myself and then start from scratch with a clean slate. I need to conquer this breaking good habits after 2 or 3 days..

Anyway will get round every1's diaries today, I promise! xx

 

[Mumma K]

Sorry you had such a stressful meeting Lainie these things are bound to throw a spanner in the works now and again, don't worry to much about it i'm sure the odd pompadom or bit of ice cream ain't gonna cause to much damage in the hwole scheme of things
time to draw that line and get back on the wagon hen
have a lovely wagon rolling week

 

[PickyNic]

Oh Lainie, I can totally relate to the stressful day at work = too much scoffage.
I used my crappy week at work last week to justify eating like a pig all weekend At least with you it was a one off.

ps. Happy to provide that kick in the bum as you so kindly offered to kick mine!

 

[vanda]

Your weekend sounded lovely and I am sure the little bit of extra you had wont do too much damage. Fingers crossed for a good weigh in at Boots. Have a happy week

Hi! xx

Cheers peeps Well, I'm quite chuffed this week as lost half pound at boots.. Need to get back on track properly for next week, but pleased with myself that I havent gone off track completely. Aiming for two off next week so here we go Had the first day today where I physically noticed (visibly) the loss so far .. I held up a pair of my 'redundant' size 20's in the mirror today, and they were wider than my body! woo! then i realised that my waist and hips etc are actually looking more tapered.. and my shoulder blades can be seen! Woo!!!! So yeah, I cant afford to let go now, gotta keep going! Thanks for all the encouragement, you guys rock!! I know I always say it, but its true xx

 

[bear1982]

Well done on your loss Lainie, especially when you weren't expecting it, lovely surprise!

Good luck with this week hun and I'm sure that 2lbs off will be yours

[vanda]

Well done on the loss its all going in the right direction. Double hoorah for the noticing you are shrinking before your very eyes. It is a fab feeling indeed.

Have a great week

 

[Mumma K]

As Nikki said you should be proud of what you have achieved so far hen, you are doing really well
