LoChan's diary - hello!

*pants* I wish I could hire a sherpa to aid me in my catch-up quest lol Having to have a break to go make and eat tea (having some lazy bits and pieces from a deli tonight :eek:).

Back in a bit (though not got proper swfood diarying to do just yet - I'm nosying around everybody elses menus for inspiration) xxx
 
Welcome back Lo, missed ya heaps....hope you get over the dodgy tummy soon (I like dodgy tummy always get a good loss :giggle:)
I really want to do the Christmas Market too :cry: but feet are bed yet again :mad: so don't know if I'll make it to any shops this year damn it.
Have a lovely evening sweetie, speak soon xxxx
 
Hope you're feeling better.

There's nothing funny to read on my diary so don't bother with the catch up. I've been very boring :rolleyes:

Hey lady you are never and I mean NEVER boring xxxx
 
Hi Lo, hows it going with your minimins backlog mountain??? It's taken me over a week to get through your dairy from the start, could've done with a sherpa too!!! I have loved the food porn and have taken notes - tho I missed where to find the stuffed peppers, may have to track back once I find my crampons!!!

Hope you are having a good day xxx

I think the tum has settled now, thank god 'cause I did a full day in the office for training today and I was boxed into a window seat and would have been too embarrased to keep asking the person sitting next to me to get up to let me past - not enough room to squeeze by :eek:

Mnph I'd swap feet with you to give you some respite if I could, got my dodgy heels and ankle but at least I can get about okay for most've the day :( :bighug:Hope the doctors appt today was helpful, I'll find out shortly if you've said such on your diary today xxxx

Hope you're feeling better.

I promise I don't visit your diary solely just to laugh at you Tilly... That's just one of the perks usually :giggle:

hey, how are you doing :D

hope your feeling better now.

trying to convince hubby he wants to do crimbo market this week, there is a small one on in warrington on sat so am going to that one :D:D:D:D:D

xxx

I do feel a lot better :)

I was fine with going into work today, I feel less stressed when it's training though 'cause I know what to expect and stuff. I ran away from my team's floor restroom though as it was packed and I didn't want to sit near people to eat my lunch so ran away to another floor to find a room to myself to enjoy a bagel and a bit of reading :D Got a lieu day off for tomorrow now for doing the extra half-day today so looking forward to some extra zzzz's once got my son off to school in his taxi :)

Hope you did alright on your visit to work too :bighug:Let me know how the Warrington Market is - is it a one-day event or on for a bit 'cause I could persuade my dad or almost-MIL to take me if you reckon it's worth the trip :)

I'm almost done with the mountain but new ones are popping up already, chatty bunch of folks I have the pleasure of hanging about with on here lol

Mn you don't need a specific recipe for the stuffed peppers really, it's fun just experimenting with different mixes. There's definitely in my top sw meals list and big giant red peppers for stuffing are on my veggies shopping list for tomorrow to get myself stocked up for a proper return to plan. I'll post on here what concoctions I try out if you're after some ideas :)

:wavey: hello Lo, hows you? are you back on the wagon now? I am clinging onto the back :giggle: xxxxxxx

Mn not quite, it felt easier to go with toast and sandwiches and things today for portable-work foods and so on. I'm over beating myself up about the gain though and am just accepting I'll go through these periods of struggling now and again. It's ridiculous to wallow in it really seeing how a lot of you lovely ladies have been going through the same struggles too of late and are still remaining positive. I think I need to sign myself up as a Tortoise too - I'm wondering if my subconscious decided a gain would be good for me in some ways, I've been getting so caught up in my big losses that I'd actually get annoyed with myself on the weeks they'd drop below 3.5lbs even though I was still getting results and 3.5lbs every week isn't very sustainable in the long run :rolleyes:

I'm not sure who said it first but I think I need to adopt the motto Slow is Good, in all aspects of life :D

Off to catch up with your world on your diary now, hoping you're feeling a lot happier than you were yesterday xxxxx
 
You do indeed have to adopt the Slow is good motto
and remember its a life plan you are on enjoy the free
foods, savour the hex's and most of all embrace the syns :D
there is no such thing as a quick fix Lo
and those that think there is often regain every pound they have lost and put on more for
good measure

That last part is me to a T, at least it was me. Doing my best to change that silly way of thinking now. Thanks Kally :)

It's hard to stop feeling that way during a struggle, think I have to learn -not- to struggle so much, moving on is hard to accept :rolleyes:

Need to find distractions from naughty moreish foods, but what do tortoises do to distract themselves??

Hmn I'm not sure if I find that mental picture funny or disturbing :eek::8855:

Heh I think you keep buying stuff I haven't tried either, I must be a bad influence then :p

Think I may have tried it fresh for fruit salad but wasn't particularly enamoured with it... sorry for not providing exciting ideas lol Will be on your diary in a bit but I spy a nice new shiny, well done! :D

I was busy sleeping and playing Disgaea yesterday, not cooking sw foods :eek:

I'm off to my mums for the day for childminding so will be on in a couple of hours to catch up. Reckon basically I'm off plan today too but being careful and I start afresh tomorrow. Might have added another 1lb or two but I'm ready to get my head down and get on with things again :) Green Week 3.0 here I come :D
 
Lo

Morning hun

And here's to starting fresh from tomorrow
I have actually missed your food porn m'lady
so I'm giving you a wee kick to the bum and saying
woo hoo to getting back on the SW wagon x
 
Morning Lo, sorry I've not been here properly for a bit-having a bit of a tough time-but just wanted to drop by and say I hope you have a good Friday and a nice weekend x

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/187905-jos-journey-infinity-beyond.html

Not to worry Jo, I've not been about much either and I know you've been having a hard time :(

:bighug:popping over to y'diary momentarily to see how you're getting on xxx

Lo

Morning hun

woo hoo to getting back on the SW wagon x

Aye, definitely want to get back in my comfy seat as I know when I'm in the zone I really enjoy my SW food and don't normally have a problem with nibblings aside from my usual on-plan stuff. I know I need to sort myself out - went to greggs for the first time in years this morning and bought a sausage roll and a gingerbread man for 'breakfast' to eat at my mums today :eek: I enjoyed it but I am at the enough is enough point now, already lost my 3.5st shiny, I'm not letting the 3st one go too!

Seriously - if I don't post a 100% SW food diary for tomorrow please do make that wee kick a full on battering with hobnail boots :D
 
Grrrr, angry and annoyed after a stupid busride into town on the way home from my mums - evil teenage sh1ts throwing up balled newspaper at me. I didn't move and just ignored them and kept reading my book and repeating 'worthless tw@ts' over and over in my head.

Didn't think it bothered me that much but going round town later it made me think about what people on here have said about not wanting to be their normal anymore and to fit in with everyone else's normal. Not that I don't understand this but tbh I'm not doing this to be like 'normal' people, and I'm certainly not doing it to make myself less of a target of ridicule in the eyes of those 'normal' folks. A new motto to go with Slow is Good as proferred forth by my OH this evening 'Normal is a Dire Insult'!

Just annoyed that it's put something of a dampener on a child-free evening - was trying to pick out something for my tea in tesco then in M&S and I couldn't do it, felt all panicky and ashamed and started flapping my hands around (have noticed my son does this too when he's anxious, hmmmn). Just made me even angrier :(

In the end I picked a chicken and wild garlic soup from tesco (creamy so bit high in fat, around 195 cals for 1/2 the tub) which I had with some granary bread and light spread. Got my OH to pick at random one of those fuller thingy meals from M&S, thai chicken curry that was 495, then had one mini crunchie at 80 cals.

I know we don't do calories here but this be the night pre-re-wagon-boarding so as a guide compared to some of things things I was anxiously picking up and putting back on the shelves I think this was fairly sensible... *shrugs* better than ordering chinese for four and eating it until I felt sick which was another option which ran through my head while I was close to tears on the second bus home :sigh:

Mmph, was in two minds about posting and ranting but I'm happy to read about other people's stressful moments if it helps them to let off steam so hope noone here minds if you do read this - heh that phrase Lily mentioned being afraid of 'here she goes again' is haunting me a little bit... but I'm sure most of you know what it feels like right?...

To finish on a cheerier note just had a bit of a blowout of the synfree kind on the radley website, got a new crossbody bag from the sale and found a 20% off code for regular price stuff so got a cute new purse and an umbrella too :D

Code if anyone wants it is christmasgift - it will only work on full price items though I think :) Don't go blaming me if you spend a fortune though, I'll take the rap for tropical fruits and whatnot but not handbags :p
 
I think you're brave cos I'd have probably cried. Either that or I'd have decked them and then either been stabbed to death or arrested for assault. Those people aren't normal and I don't think any of us are aiming to be like them.

Have a hug (lost the smilie so just pretend there's a picture here).

On a lighter note - I've got my hobnail boots on ready for tomorrow :D
 
Hey Lo, that's horrible ((((((( LoChan)))))) what sort of jerk gets their kicks like that? Well, I've seen them around here too. Presumably people with terrible self esteem who feel a need to boost it by putting others down. Not that understanding that helps much at the time. I'm truly sorry that happened. Tbh, I sometimes avoid the upstairs of buses because of people like that. I've only ever seen a bus driver throw passengers off once, some people were drinking and getting louder and more and more obnoxiously abusive and he stopped the bus and made them get off. Yay :)

Anyway, try not to let it get to you long term, you deserve far better.
 
Yobs !! and gobshites
pathetic that some teenagers get there kicks
like this if only they put in as much energy in
getting a job as they do intimidating people

((hugs Lo))
