LJ's Journey to be Slim by Sixty

[Nanny Doreen]

You can do it Nanny D! Exercise is definitely addictive, once you've done a few laps to the end of the road and back, you'll find you want to go to the end of the road and a bit further..

I actually walked approximately 1/2 mile today. Ached but it felt good. It wasn`t a dawdle either.
Blackberry bushes, they can be a pain. DIL`s Mum has problems in her garden, I have chopped and sawn many branches going through trees.

Heard this week, not sure if I have already mentioned it, my Sons dog Nancy has reached her 9th birthday. That was not expected. The family is going away for a week very soon so I will be able to look after her.

I wonder if anyone weighed today, I think upndown does Tuesday. I am going in the right direction at present.

Good day Upndown. That pudding . I also must try that oats breakfast, I always forget and have some in the cupboard. Having rice today tho.

Hope you not too tired this morning, your last post was late. xx

Hi - I slept in this morning - now up late again - but will not be so late tonight!! How's ur tooth Doreen?

 

[upndown]

Morning all. We are piling up the pages here. Looks like we are getting some sun today. Washing done, just need to put it out. Then breakfast and go for a walk. One of my neighbours goes to the top of the road and back in 27mins. ? It is a good 3/4 mile each way. I used to walk it when I was training for the race for life some years ago. I feel I have got a bit of an incentive at the moment, ..............
Spoke to NZ and he has booked tickets for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory for 2 dqays before he goes home. They are going to look around London first, I said I would meet them in the late afternoon. Don`t thibnk I can do all that walking. But with a bit of training, who knows. Watch this space.

Yes that's a great incentive - if u keep on with ur training - u'll be out-walking them and how about the London Marathon next April eh?

Glad the dog has exceeded his medical predictions - and that ur going in the right direction - I'm going back to class in the morning (Tues) but will also WI on Weds for Minis as I weigh first thing in the buff and will be heavier in SW class (not a good idea to strip off in class eh?

 

[upndown]

Good evening all,

Busy busy work day today, but it flew by, so no time to think of food! I came home, had a quick tidy of the house, made tea, now sitting watching tv.. I know I should be on the treadmill or something but not tonight lol

Food today -

breakfast - Keifer smoothie - Keifer (hexa), banana, half an apple, berries, spinach

Snack - cereal bar (hexb)

Lunch - leftover pasta from tea with peppers, sweetcorn, pasta sauce (1.5syns)

upndown good luck at group tomorrow! Let us know how it goes

Another good day CJ - ur scales will be smiling at u now!

 

[upndown]

not sure I'm so close to my goal the moment, but I'm hoping I'm not to far off when u get on those scales weds! I will see how it feels being 10.7, but I think I could happily stay that weight for a while, then maybe when I can stabilise it a that weight I could try loosing a little more. But I think I would struggle to maintain a lower weight lol

thanks for the blackberry tip! They are everywhere! I found one stalk in the trees that I had to chop it with a saw!! Lol there are some the other side of the garden that I will let grow. It's the ones right along the side of the house on the patio and under the patio door!

Yes I think if I was u I'd see how I felt at 10st 7 too - ur working hard with those nasty brambles great way to burn calories as well as improving the garden!!

Hi - I slept in this morning - now up late again - but will not be so late tonight!! How's ur tooth Doreen?

It is good now thanks. Very loose but pain all gone. Hurrah

 

[upndown]

It is good now thanks. Very loose but pain all gone. Hurrah

That's good to hear - will u have to have it out now?

I went to SW class today - nice group of ppl and consultant v good too - I weighed in at 10st 10 (dressed of course!) so SW scales showed 1lb heavier than mine - I also 'won' the raffle of fresh basil, peppers, aubergine and asparagus so all in all a good morning!! Think filling in a paper diary and handing it in to 'teacher' will be a good discipline!!

Up to this morning I've lost 1lb - so been very good today & will try to keep it that way :fingerscrossed:

No not having the tooth out as it is an anchor for false ones. At least not at the moment,

Glad you went to class. The paper diary they like you to fill out for I think 3 weeks. |Then if not losing they have something to refer to.
What a bonus to win the raffle too, Glad the ppl & `teacher` are nice. I really hope it helps you. I know if I didn`t go no matter whether a gain or loss I know I would put stones on.
Also you know that their scales weight you heavier. Mine weigh me 1lb lighter which is nice after I have jumped on my scales and gone eeeek!

 

[mo53]

Hello. All the news sounds good. Im glad the tooth is feeling better Doreen. Upndown your visit to group sounds good. Winning the raffle- Brilliant. I havent swum today. Food has been another bread day. Breakfast 2 toast. lunch- crab sandwich. Tea- squash and sweet potato soup with 3 slices of bread. The soup was smashing.
