Laura's Diary - My first -7lbs! :-)

did you have a lovely Valentines then Lauz? :) xxx
 
Good luck for your restart chickn!
 
Well it's been 2 weeks since I last updated!
My laptop has been broken at home and work has been so busy so I haven't really had much time to come online. Plus I've had a horrible cold...I had one a few weeks ago and then OH got it and he seems to have given it back to me. Am starting to feel better now and work isn't as hectic today so I'm feeling it's time for a fresh start (my 3rd and (hopefully) final restart!)

Will update later as my laptop has been fixed and include food diary.

Hope everyone has had a good few weeks...will catch up on everyones diary this evening. xx
 
Well I didnt get to update again last night, I didnt get home from work till later than I thought I would...and pretty much went straight to bed (felt knackered for some reason).

I spoke too soon when I said that work wasn't too busy anymore, it was hectic again yesterday afternoon and it's been non-stop this morning! :sigh:

So I restarted yesterday and it went well, stuck to my points. I did vow to myself that I was going to start doing some exercise but was too tired last night. At the moment I cant afford to rejoin the gym so have got some exercise DVDs that I haven't used for ages so going to try one of those tonight.

Will update later with food diary...should be home ealier from work tonight!

Hope everyone's having a good day!xx
 
Good luck hun with your restart x
 
So I've not had a very great start to this year...hoping things will get better soon!

Firstly me and OH had horrible colds, then last Tues evening I fell down the stairs and badly bruised my ribs and have had to take painkillers for that all week, then on friday my parents come round to tell me some bad news - my Grandad had a hospital appointment and they've found a tumour on his lung which doesn't sound good. At the moment we are just waiting for some more information - as my dad said there's nothing that we can do just be there for him.

Had a big chat with OH today and have decided to really try to motivate myself to get back on losing weight. Have got my food pointed for tomorrow as we decided that pointing things the night before is probably best for me. So am going to restart (yet again) tomorrow and hopefully i can find enough motivation to stick with it this time.

Am off now to finish the ironing so that I can then sit back and relax this evening.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!xx
 
omg, are you okay? the ribs sound really painful - i remember my step dad fell up the stairs once and cracked one.. and he was in agony for months with it!

look after yourself and i hope you get news soon about your granddad xxx

Thanks Rach! :) Ribs are getting better so that's good, might do some light exercise this evening and just see how it goes.

Yesterday work was really really hectic, today is slightly better but still very busy. I suppose the good thing about it is that the day goes by quite quickly so you don't get a chance to get bored.

Spoke to my Grandad last night and he has a hospital appointment with a specialist on next Tues so we will find out more about the tumour then. He also has an appointment for an ECG today and the last 2 times he has had one they have ended up keeping him in as his heart rate is irregular when they check it. So I said I would call him later and see how it went.

We are hoping to move house at some point soon, down-size a bit and try and save some money. So OH is viewing flats this week as he finishes work early...some of them look quite promising.

So I re-started my diet yesterday (at the same as I was before) and pointed everything but didn't get the chance to do my food diary on here so will start that later today.

Hope everyone's having a good day.xx
 
Good luck with your restart hun xx
 
Good luck with the restart Laura, sounds like you've not had much of a good year sugar
hope things improve for you really soon, and fingers crossed for your Grandad too x
 
So much for updating yesterday evening with my food diary...work was so busy all afternoon and then my bus home decided not to show up so have to wait over half hr for that so didn't get home till later than normal.

Have decided to put my food diary on here during the day and then just edit in the evening.
So food for today -

B - Special K Red Berries 40g (2), Semi-skimmed milk (1).
L - Chicken cuppa soup (2), roll (2) Marg (?)
D - Piri Piri Chicken (3), Home-made potato wedges (4), Fry light (1) 2 tbsp Reduced fat garlic and herb dip (1)
S - Walkers chicken crisps (?), WW Toffee cookies (?).
Total - 17/25 (so far).

Today work seems a lot quieter so hopefully it will stay that way! *fingers crossed*
OH is viewing a flat this afternoon, it sounds ideal and would mean we would be saving quite a bit of money..so I'm hoping that goes well.

Hope everyone has a good day!xx:D
 
Just wondering whether anyone has any advice/tips on where's best to find some nice recipes (preferably ww ones where the points are already worked out). Does anyone get the WW magazine or have any of the WW cook books and are they any good? xx
 
I have alot of the books and i think they are relly good and i buy the mags too. You can get good recipes of the internet also, but for all of these i work the points out myself for each ingrediant just to make sure as sometimes the brands they use arnt the ones i do, like for sausages etc. I get most of mine either from the books or the internet. There are alot on the actual ww site.
 
So once again work was hectic and I don't get home till late! Manager has said it should only be this busy for the rest of this week and next week we can try to get back to normal. So because of that I have decided to try to stick to my points but I probably won't have the time to properly track them, so will start that properly from Sunday/Monday as I'm working overtime on Saturday!

Hope everyone is having a good week!xx
 
Same to you hun - have a fab week xxx
 
hiya Loz, did you get to see Alice in Wonderland yet? xx
 
Well this year is definitely not off to a good start!
Now I have injured my back somehow...it was so painful last week. Luckily I had already booked off Thurs and Fri as holiday so I relaxed a bit. It's just so stiff and achey.
Plus my Grandad's got to have a bronchoscopy (sp?) to see what is going on with his lung...that's next Wed.
So have found it hard to find any motivation this week.

Have promised myself that I will make my diet my no.1 priority from now on.
I completely spring cleaned my house with OH yesterday so am hoping that it will help towards my fresh start.

Will update more later as work is still quite busy.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!xx

Hi Rach. I didn't get to see it as I hurt my back and decided it might not be a good idea to go and sit in cinema. I was really looking forward to it though, did you enjoy it?xx
