NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

[Nanny Doreen]

Well done Doreen - hope u can stop there. You've done better than me again - I had a snack and a dessert in the pub at lunch plus 1 vodka and tonic (diet lol!) then choc and bought toffee cake for the girls but of course I had some too - so not a good day but I will be on plan 2moro for 6 days - getting a bit fed up of messing about now - I need to be in a bikini for my hols lol, lol, lol xx

I hope so too. Am just about to prepare dinner. Not really hungry though.

A SW Scotch Egg sounds interesting! Fingers crossed U can stay strong tonight, binging is so so tempting when you have a tendency but we are all here for u x

I love a binge Serena. The scotch egg was not bad, not what I would normally want for breakfast. Usually I come home from class and have egg bacon etc. may have a banana before I come home. Think I would have been better to have that.
Unfortunately my classmate is talking about fetching one in next week. If she does I will have a fry up when I get home.
I am sitting with the computer trying not to think of food. Not easy on this site though. I will put the sausages on low and have a coffee 1st I reckon.
Also an early night. xx

6 days shoud be absolutely fine to get a weight loss. I was getting fed up being a yo-yo but we can`t always control it can we. As it was a new loaf I was eating, that is not from the freezer, I an surprised I stopped when I did. Something in the head??
Enjoy your time out at Snowdonia National Park. It sound lovely.

Also Linda please don`t beat yourself up but make sure you protect what you have lost so far.

Lonts of hugs for you. :bighug::girlpower:

ooh a cook up - sounds good! hope u enjoy it - handy to have SW food in the freezer - very organised too!

Yes I think I will have soup for lunch and dinner - hopefully that will fill me up in this cold weather! Hubby and I plan to go on a walk in the nearby Snowdonia National Park 2moro - so that'll be a bit of exercise too!

Ooh! Snowdonia! Absolutely adore North Wales. Sigh.

Oh, yes! Hello everyone! Just been catching up on all the gossip. I've only been absent for one day and it's taken ages to read what you've all been up to!! Couldn't log on yesterday, as I went to the local theatre group's production of Sleeping Beauty. One of the other Teaching Assistants from school was in it and also, three of the Yr. 6's. It was hilarious and really well produced, as always. Unfortunately, we did all meet for 'tea' first, at Wetherspoons and the scary thing was, they've now started to add the calorific content of EVERYTHING! I started off with good intentions but, sadly, they went out of the window within the first five minutes of arriving! I wonder how many calories are burnt off, laughing hysterically for two and a half hours! Been good today so, hopefully, the damage won't be too severe.

Well done with your weight loss, Doreen! Brilliant! And your STS was pretty good too, Linda. Sounds like you're very organised for the next week now anyway so, fingers crossed.

Welcome to you, Stacey. Your little gang, isn't so little anymore, Doreen!

Kathy xx

It is so special to see a show with people you know in it, especially when it is children, So glad you enjoyed it Kathy.
Yes my gang is growing. I have taken to putting my food on a blog as I have it then copying over so I can look back easier. I know you can comment on blogs but I have set it so it cannot be done.

It is surprising how quickly these pages add up.

Glad to hear that Linda. We don`t like things hanging around do we...

I nearly beat myself up today, but have stayed within syns, even tho I changed it a bit. Not enough speed but well!!

Yes, I am, Serena. I've been a TA at the same primary school for about 23 years now and I love it. Well - all except the pay!!

Awwww wow! I start my first post on Monday 2nd, hope I'm still there in 23yrs time!!!! X

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Upndown you are never selfish. You are a big help

 

[upndown]

Has Kay set up the soup challenge yet. ?

I think I read that Kay's taking a break from organising challenges as she's busy at the mo - so will just follow most of the rules (don't think I'll drink all the fluids - I try to follow the NHS guideline of 1.6L inc tea & coffee) and do it on my own.

Do u do a weekly shop and plan ur week or shop/plan as u go? Xx

your night at the theatre sounds lovely - know what u mean about good intentions going out of the window when presented with a menu! Laughing's good for the soul if not our waistline! Well I feel full f good intentions - just hope I can pull it off! How are u getting on Kathy?(apart from show nights!)

Wasn't really sticking to it properly, since Christmas really but am trying again now (apart from last night). Stuck to it religiously last week and lost 9 pounds! Couldn't believe it and thought it must be the scales but jumped on them several times and they still read the same. However, since the blip last night, so as not to demoralise myself, I'm leaving it two weeks before I weigh myself again, to give myself a chance to rectify things! Will have to keep looking at Doreen's food diaries for motivation!!

The soup challenge sounds good but I don't really like soup too much - well, definitely not in huge quantities, anyway!

I totally envy you, Linda, for where you live! How wonderful to be able to go for a stroll in such a gorgeous area, whenever you like. Bliss! xx
