Liz's CD Diet to Goal

Hey Liz

Know a little of how you feel with various stresses, and had a minor binge tonight myself - no 'real' reason but have already decided as I've got some hours to myself tomorrow as DS is at childminder, I'm going to damage limit and go swimming and do some lengths - much needed!

I'm sorry you feel quite so stressed out this evening, but hoping you manage a good night's sleep and things seem at least a bit calmer in the morning. You've put a few good endings 'either way' on your situations, so that's at least one good thing.

I'll message you my e-mail addy btw, I've got my dress on e-mail :) xxx
 
What a mare. Amazing how everything always kicks off at once! It's pretty hard doing cd when we're under stress etc. You're doing your best so don't beat yourself up.

Money is always a total nightmare whoever you're dealing with. Poor you.

Hope u get a good sleep. Gotta get to nod myself. Nite x
 
Awww Liz, so sorry to hear that things are so chaotic right now. It certainly does sound like a ridiculous amount of pressure to be dealing with all at the same time. Hope things ease up soon for you. It is didfficult to stay focused when having so many other things of importance in life to deal with. Hope you manage to get back on track, or at least avoid any more gain. Just take the odd moment to imagine you and your beloved getting married, when life gets bad, we need things to make us smile, remind ourselves what its all for. Hoping you're ok. xx
 
Morning Liz,

Hope you are feeling better and wishing you a fab weekend!

xx
 
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L DRESS - Keep it up and you are going to be a stunning bride :) xxxx
 
Thanks everyone. So manic that I haven't had chance to come on here at all. Just have so many things to do. Think I might have found the right house - going back Wed with BF to see it again, as he hasn't seen it.

Just cannot focus on weight with everything happening. Money at work is down to such a dangerously low level that I might have to transfer some of my own money into the business account. Not good, just wish that people would pay on time. I hate that.

Got Wednesday off the look at houses. Hopefully will make a decision that day. My life is a whirlwind of estate agents, houses, solicitors, surveyors, wedding brochure vows, money, work.

Think I'll feel better after Wednesday. I just find CD is so all encompassing. The way that I can do it by spending loads of time on here, reading about weight losses, reading magazines with inspirational pictures on, doing my nails, fake tan etc etc. The problem is that at the moment I have no time for those things and that is the problem.

Plus have a few client lunches coming up, which doesn't help. I need to get back on track and remember my wedding dress and that I need to fit into it by September. Right, off to get changed into work out clothes and go on cross trainer before I change my mind.

Exercise makes me feel so much better and it will damage limit the stuff I've been shoving down me lately! Hope everyone is well xxx
 
Someone doesn't want me to exercise. Just got changed and set up cross trainer and batteries have died :( it takes me all my energy to be arsed to do it! Can't say I'm not a little relieved, but I'm frustrated too.

They are the massive ones as well, take 4, so don't have any in the house. Telly it is then :)
 
Well have bought batteries today! Came home early to blitz the house. We have buyers surveyor coming round in the morning. I know they don't care about tidiness, but every bit helps - don't want to give them any red flags. So cleaned for 4 hours - that was fun :) still, got me sweating.

Surveyor here at 09:30 for 1.5 hours. Then off to view 4 properties, one of which is a second viewing. Fingers crossed that we find one and can make an offer.

Credit control issues seem to be resolved at work, so that money should come through soon. Things are getting better bit by bit. Rescheduled WI from tomorrow until Monday. Not been good and would like the weekend to do some exercise, but also can't fit it in with house viewings anyway.

I desperately want to find the right house, get moved and then focus on getting some money on at work. That will ease the pressure and then can really focus on losing the weight and the wedding.

Feel more positive today even though nothing has happened weight wise. Got over my weighing obsession and never bother now at all. Hope everyone is okay and enjoying the sun. It's lovely, but tough at night. Have opened all the windows and brought the fan downstairs.

Going to enjoy a night of telly and chillax xxx
 
Hope one of the houses is "the one" and you fall in love tomorrow - it's nice when that happens, but I know the reality is sometimes far from it.

Sounds like things are improving one at a time which is great.

I really do know what you mean with having so much going on, in various different ways, finances being a biggy. Keep plodding on, it'll get there bit by bit (so I keep getting told) Funny enough, tomorrow is the start of a big new part of our lives too...x
 
Good luck with the viewings Liz, really hope you find the perfect new home. I'm struggling to fit in exerise at the moment too, its so frustating, especially when it had got to the point i enjoy it. Glad the money situation resolved.
Know what you mean about having no time. I really oughtto be doing Wedding stuff but i just like to catch up on here once in a while. Save my sanity and keeps me on track.
Hope you have a lovely day xx
 
Morning Liz,

Hope the house hunting went well!

Have a fab day today!

xx
 
Thanks guys. Going to be away from here for a while I think. Had another minor blow this morning at the doctor, who gave me some bad news on something. Have to go and get some more tests next week. This was the final blow really and I broke down in the surgery.
She's prescribed some tranquilizers for a fortnight, because I can feel how near the edge I am.
Not sure what I'll do with CD at the mo. Going to see CDC on Monday, so will get the products, probably for 2 weeks. Just need to get sold first and move out/into new house and that will take a lot of pressure off. In the meantime I need a break from worrying about weight and everything else. Need to sleep and relax. Will be back. Hope everyone is okay xxx
 
oh Liz, so sorry to hear you have had some bad news hun. Take it easy and take care of you xx
 
Big hugs Liz, hope all is ok. Sleep and relaxation is good, your health is the most important thing: houses; weddings etc can follow on behind. Look after yourself.

Liz, only just seen this, really hope you are ok. big (((hugs))) xxx
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the email Claire :)
Just thought I'd quickly pop on before bed. Had a chilled out weekend. Still upset about doctors, but it's nothing life threatening, so putting that into perspective.
Am just going to take things one day at a time like a few of you have said. Am going to see CDC tomorrow, so will get my tetras - think I'll get 4 a day and maybe get 2 weeks worth. It's a pain getting over to her when I have so much other stuff happening really.
Think a lot of it's work related. I hate managing staff, but am having to grow the business, so no alternative really. Hope everyone is okay, as not had chance to catch up with diaries. Much love to everyone though xxx
 
Hey hun,

missing you on here, hope you're ok and you are getting some stress free time.

Have a good day hun
x
 
Thanks Lelly xx

Just a quick update as today is manic, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and then I'll properly be able to catch up on here and get on track.

Made an offer on a house on Monday that was rejected (it was a very low offer!), so reoffered yesterday and after much palava (with the Estate Agent saying that another offer was on the table and me standing my ground on the offer) we got it! I said to BF last night 'I'm sure there is no other offer, but if we don't get it then I'm really sorry' you can imagine my relief after the call today.

So have a telephone appointment with mortgage company at 2pm today - next hurdle. We should exchange by 23rd July and complete by 9th August with any luck. All happened so quickly after no movement for months.

All 3 late paying clients are paying up, so that's a major stress at work gone and staff issues appear to be resolved.

Was on track with CD, but BF is taking me for meal tonight to celebrate about house. Have been on x-trainer though this morning, so hopefully that will help.

Appreciate everyone's support this last week or so. Been one of the worst of my life, but feels like things are slipping into place now.
 
Awww Liz, you have had a really tough time of it lately, hope things are looking up now and that the house goes through smoothly and that those companies pay up ASAP... look after yourself and have a great meal out...
