liquoricet's diary of a penguin runner

Good luck for WI! Counting the cashews - I like it. You don't get a lot of them, but then again better than nothing.
I'm working on counting my syns properly this week. Jar of 105 pennies at the ready!
 
Yay I lost 2.5! V pleased with that. Now to stay on track.
 
Good work!!! I bet you are really chuffed with that!
I'm still buzzing off my weight loss on Tuesday lol
 
And now I'm blowing it. I've been overeating, a few reasons. I feel judged. My little girl aged 6 was called smelly, apparently another child says she smells. It may be me being sensitive but R now thinks she should bathe everyday.

Secondly, she fell asleep at after school club. We can't get her to go to sleep so insist she stays in bed but let her read. Now I'm wondering if we need to turn her light off so she can't read.

Thirdly, we had a note that dd's plimsolls keep falling off and need to get a smaller size. She's had the shoes since September and I get a note now they don't fit?
 
Aw that's awful. Children are so cruel, especially girls I think. The only problem my son had at school was a girl kicking & pushing him. What really wound me up was that the teacher knew but was leaving them in the hope it would stop without her doing anything. I went nuts the poor bairn was black & blue! Hopefully your daughter isn't too upset. I'm sure that if she hadn't said that it would have been something else nasty & she should just be ignored as bullies should be but if it doesn't stop get the school involved.
Maybe the plimsolls have stretched?
It's awful when our children are upset, I hope you're all okay x
 
Thanks Zappacat. R has a uti so that explains the exhaustion! She even stayed in bed Fri am which is really not like her.

Dh suggested that about the plimsolls, think I was just having a bad day! I don't think she's usually bullied so will monitor it a bit and since dd still sometimes wets the bed will be stricter about a shower in the morning 'just in case'!

Sorry to hear about your son, the school should've jumped on any physical violence that's awful!!
 
Glad things seem better today. Hopefully after the weekend your daughter will have forgotten about it.
I hope she get over the uti quickly, no wonder she's shattered
I was furious, however as soon as I went in they moved her & it stopped. Apparently it wasn't the first time she'd bullied someone. I think the teacher was afraid of her mother. I'm just glad that it was the only time he had problems throughout school.
 
Aw, hope your family are all fit and healthy again now, and have recovered over the weekend.

How's SW going? Have you managed to get back on it?

I had a naughty weekend and at the moment I'm showing a 1lb gain, hopefully it'll even out to a STS tomorrow.
 
Hi yes, I had a very nice weekend. I keep being beautifully on track until the evening. Oops. Saturday I had wine so I was over syns because of it, Sunday I went out to a tapas place and had ice cream for pudding. I'd saved the day's syns but realistically I was over. No wine though.

I did go for a 5k run sunday, so hoping for damage limitation.

Today I'm going for a 5 syn day. So far I'm on 2 syns... If I manage 5 syn days until Thurs perhaps I'll pull back!

How's your day been?
 
Sounds lovely!! Hopefully you'll have pulled it back. Shock no wine!?! Lol

I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping. For the best this week
 
I know, I also went to Costa on Sunday and didn't have a cake (really wanted one) and had a pot of tea not hot chocolate! So I suppose I've made some changes.

BTW, have you ever added yoghurt into a sauce to make it creamy? If so, how do you stop it curdling? I made the 'A girl called Jack' spring piggy recipe (bacon, cabbage, beans, onions, garlic, mustard powder, stock and wine sauce with pasta) and it was lovely till I added yoghurt.

Thanks!!
 
I've been Working hard since Sunday. Hoping for a loss...

I ran 7k tonight and promised myself a glass of wine if I went further than 5k. I had only had 4.5 syns but ate out so was keeping some back for oil and then remembered I could have olive oil as a heb. Sorted! 13.5 syns used but I ran 7k so I think that's OK!

Well done on the running!! I've had to stop exercising at the moment. I've got a really sore knee, it's like a stiff feeling and can be so painful at times. Might see a doctor if I get chance.
 
Jennie, hope your knee gets sorted. Although the last time I went to the docs for a sore knee I got ibuprofen gel and codeine and told to keep at it my body was just shocked by the running!

Meh a 1/2lb gain. :( Feeling rather fed up though with a meal out Saturday and various other off plan things I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It just feels slow and hard work.

I'm not much good at cutting down and I don't like it. I feel even less motivated to go for my run than I did before.
 
Hi I know how you feel. I was so enthusiastic when I started and the weight seemed to be coming off quickly. Now that it's slower & feels so much harder the wine seems so much more tempting. In fact I have a glass next to me now, rough day at work. I'm joining a gym on the 14th & I'm hoping that kick starts things again for me. Your running is so impressive, I can't imagine ever being fit enough to do a 5k run. You are an inspiration, juggling a young family and still finding time for running. Don't be too hard on yourself. You've lost more than 10% of your body weight & that's a real achievement x
 
Thanks Zappa cat I'm feeling better today. A naughty check on the scales says I'd have maintained or lost a little if I weighed today. Just in a funk.

Sorry you're struggling too. I'm slowly coming to the view I may need to seriously limit wine. A leader at a ww class once said that the people who struggle like both sweets and wine.

If you ever decide to run I'm sure you'll surprise yourself, the c25k programmes are great. I never have the time for the gym.
 
Well that was a nice surprise! 6lbs off! I dying know why it's suddenly come off but am not complaining! So now at 2st 6lbs. :))
 
Woweee! Well done on the mega weight loss!!!
