Moo's year - 24 st start and restart

That looks gorgeous. What did it taste like :drool:
hun everyone has there struggles, its how you deal with them that matters! As you said with one wage you have to cut back, jobs here aren't too plentiful either :(
we are lucky in the sense that i work for myself, and my husband is self employed too. But after nearly 22 years of marriage, we are still best friends.. And we work as a team at home, everyone has a say, even the small people (kids) on nearly all decisions, as it affects them too. We don't always agree, mind you. But it works for us. Sometimes i forget he's a man, as they think different to us lol and that gets frustrating at times. But we hardly ever argue (as im always right ;), according to him lol)
I'm glad you and your man had some reconnecting time. Its hard to do that here with a full house! I have no doubt you will have more fun in the future. You need to make time :)

Good morning
I am here, busy weekend and have looked back at the posts. Sorry you are having things a little light on the money front Rita. I know about it all too well. It can cause upset but don't let it. If you have your health you have everything. That is the most important. One thing I have learnt is to find joy in every day. OH and I have never been so close since his illnesses but he is doing OK! It does remind you of how precious life is! Now, no more being Mrs Serious, there is much to rejoice here. I have been telling everyone I know how I know the woman of the year!! Good to hear you and Helen are meeting up. What a team! Helen, thank you and Rita for asking how things are. Positive!! When are you coming off Lipotrim Helen. It must have been quite a challenge and it is amazing you stuck it out so many congratulations.

Much love to all and big hugs all round. Bev x :bliss:

As for sharing women of the year thing , you know Bev, what my mom did - hahaha - can not stop laughing. Shes so proud that she sent a congratulations text to radio - some show where they read all the happy birthdays and congratulations text. Lol and she congratulated me tro radio so all country could hear how well I have done and won this women of the years award . hahhaha - and its small country , lol
It have been so joyful 2 days and so many laughs -love it = )
And love you guys too, for all the support you give me xxx
 
Bev, Great to hear that news :) xx We went through the sickeness part years ago. When my OH eventually got diagnosed with Crohns disease. He was gone down to nothing over the 4 years, before he finally got diagnosed. It was a hard time, omg, and the kids were small. But we got through. And eventually we know things will get worse, and when that day comes we will adjust accordingly. I have a feeling my son has it, but its not bad, and i dont want him to have a label. So in time i will have him tested. Hes only 15, he shouldnt have to worry just yet! The health is everything :) xx
I dont know how long i will stay on lipotrim, as long as i can without cheating. Its like 2nd nature now, not munching lol

Rita food looks and sounds delicious. That burger wow, totally scrumptious looking! :( #onedayhelen

big hugs to all XXX

Hi Rita, hope the ankle was OK? I see you are thinking about a Fitbitflex too. I am still undecided but it could be the motivation I need. I used to be undecided but now I am not sure! lol Bev x
 
Hello hello ,

That gives me total of 8 syn but I have bite here and then , so would say I have all my 15 syns total . I really must work out this tasting at work. Not so good. And my weight just wont go down , it starting to stress me down a pit. I guess being almost 19 st in something that my body likes- need to work harder to get it going again. Sad thing is my guy pass expired and I need to get new one- but cant afford one at this moment and even that I work out at home, is still not good enough. Only my food choice is not working for me at this moment. But, and this is big but , Hard work is never lost - I know that one point it will start going again and when it does, there is no stopping =)

Day 6 ( where have week gone already )
late breakfast
Salad with turkey meat and mustard 1 syn , toast (he)and beans ( I just had to taste it , made mine without butter ofc and used chilly beans - was very good) and cottage cheese, coffee 3 syn
total 4 syn

Here will be another beautiful and stressful day =) I don know if I told you guys but there was changes at my work. Sous chef found new job and we got new sous chef. Im not happy - even before it was sometimes little hard to stay positive at work but now I feel really unhappy. i think you all know someone who should never be and supervisor as they not suitable for the task, well - thats what happened here. Lucky for me Im good - dont want to sound cheeky but Im good chef and everybody are happy with me and my job. Now others are maybe not so good at there field- but then again they all young and only learning ( good for company , lower salary's ) Now what makes me very unhappy is the info I got yesterday - apparently the time I was away s-chef found it hard to work with lads who are only start of they journey as chefs and have now on mission to get rid of all of them . Thats what he told me himself - I will get all I can to get rid of them all .
Im safe - so to say - but all I want to say is - F.. you - honest and Im sorry but how can one person whos been in company less then a month and who is first time s-chef allow himself to be so arrogant. And as for me - im sorry but I dont understand what hes saying - I just cant understand him. To make sure, I got everything right I ask 110 times , I dont like to make mistakes - this annoys him " its only questions with you " " what now " - this should be my support ? Not to mention hes marking my accent - and the fact that I have accident with the ankle- like I made it up , just not to come to work ??
Long story short - I send my first application form out today. I want to work in school =) Want to cook for children , make good, healthy foods. I look around on streets and I see so many kids who are little bigger then they could be. I want to make a change - lol, sorry if I do sound arrogant, But I want to teach kids to enjoy good and healthy foods.
Hopefully I can find something for me - I will not hurry - I will not search for another restaurant anymore - I will take my time and find school where I can make change
" so she said when she started her shift in Mc Donalds :p "
hehehe - long post today and sorry for all the negatives
Hope you all have beautiful day and keep smiling =)
 
Rita, you are so lovely I would like to smack the new sous chef on his bottom! Grrr. What a lovely idea to work in a school and make your mark improving eating habits of children. There is a gym here called fit4less which is £20 a month and no contract involved. Does that sound a good price? Perhaps there is one near you. Anyway, so happy ankle is ok and I bet you are tired after 2 weeks off. Chin up my lovely friend. Hugs. Bev x :bighug:
 
I think it's lovely you want to cook for children - schools would be insane not to fight over you. And the s-chef is a t**t xx
