Scotsmists Take on Life!!!!!! And everything else :-)

[summergurl]

Snap Jan! I always feel like i look really guilty going through security etc! I wonder what it was that they saw in your case?!!! Strange hey!!! xxx

 

[Scotsmist]

Oh Jan!!!!!! Glad you listened to Tunc!!!! I thought he was being too careful, but maybe not. He is such a stickler for doing things right and nothing dodgy..haha.....

That was a bit strange wasnt it with the passport, etc and the fact they thought you had already bought something from duty free..probably a dodgy security person!!!!!!!!

I am like you, I get all edgy even when we walk through the Nothing To Declare section as I am convinced I look guilty and they will stop me....my dad was the same, but he would shake and do the most stupidist of things..hahah..

Like you say, at least you had nothing...Tunc would be so upset if he thought you got a fine or something for brining him back honey!

Oh YES, all ready for next week!! So looking forward to it! I will email you.

Yes, enjoying the RC plan..seems to have really agreed with me and brought back my sense of reasoning where food is concerned!!! AT LONG LAST!

Hope you have caught up on your sleep. I am extremely tired tonight and going to go to bed in a minute. I feel grouchy (sp) cause I feel so tired :-(

They examined the batteries we had really closely - always carry loads of spare rechargables but they were looking in the back right hand corner as though they knew exactly where something was - but they didn't find it. On reflection DH thinks it could have been the flash unit for his underwater camera - electronic and all that - but we'll never know now. Not that it matters now xx

Lookoing forward to seeing you Iris xx

 

[Scotsmist]

I have just told Tunc about your episode..and he said that they wouldnt have bothered about the honey...he was more worried at this end! haha...

Strange, eh!

UPDATE ON TODAY

DINNER
Carrot and Corriander soup
2 x slices WW bread
Apple

I still feel hungry! and have had a handful of yoghurt raisins and 2 pretzels...stopped there, as I could have just picked and picked, but I didnt really want to, I just didnt feel satisfied with my meal, but didnt want to eat anything heavy with it being late.

I only did coreball tonight,,,just felt too tired to do pilates so had an hour in the sauna instead!!!!!!

 

[JanD]

Get yourself off to bed Iris - that'll knock those picking demons on the head!! Nite nite xxx

PS - I'm not sure they wouldn't have been bothered about the honey at that end - there were big signs about not exporting local produce. But I guess Tunc knows best xx

 

[JanD]

I have succumbed to temptation and ordered your RC book from Amazon xx

 

[kered]

Strange that you were feeling picky last night Iris, hopefully it has passed for you today though.

Those security guards in Turkey are really SCARY......lol, but one actually was nice to me a couple of years ago, he smiled and said, Why do you always come to Turkey, I replied, I love Turkey, and he smiled and said, you should buy a holiday home - aaaah I wish.

Actually, he didnt realise I meant Dalaman and when I said, he was a bit confused,,,as he said "oh, i wasnt worried about in Turkey, it was more over here"!! He reckons they wouldnt have cared less about it in Turkey haha....but here is a different matter I suppose and well, if you didnt get stopped here, then it might have been all right

GOOD!!! Sure you will enjoy it although as I have said on many posts I havent really stuck to her daily menu, although have used the suggestions, but on different days!

I dont think I ate enough yesterday Mary to be honest, esp in the evening with just having soup. Soup NEVER fills me up for some reason....but I had another few raisin yoghurts as I went upstairs ;-)! But ok today..I had a sneeky WI, which I wish I hadnt as they havnt moved at all since last Sunday :-( Trying to not think about it as I must have lost inches as I tried a blouse on that I wore last year and it was TOO BIG! I just couldnt wear it...so, my body shape must be changing...

My passport photo (which is almost 10 yrs old) is awful and I get so embarrased when they look at it, cause they must think WHAT A MESS!! hahah...honestly, it is a bad photo and every time we look at it we laugh as it is so bad! I look like a boy and have a bowl cut haircut!! hahahaha...thankfully I need a new passport this year!!!!!!!!

 

[kered]

Maybe we should all post our passport photographs haha.

 

[Scotsmist]

Ahhhh...no way!!!! You wouldnt even recognise me mary!! It is shocking, truly shocking to say the least :8855::8855:

 

[Scotsmist]

How do I change the title..instead of refeed, to something else??

 

[joy1]

talking about passport photo's when I went to cuba last year, the guard kept looking back at the photo and then me. Because it's an awful photo and I had lost a lot of weight on my face, I think he had trouble determining whether it was me.

DAY 19
BREKKIE

Found out what they are actually called
SOYA AND LINSEED BRAN
1 x 50gm bowl, around 150 cals!!

SNACK
small peach and nectarine

LUNCH
bagel, smoked salmon, philly light..YUM, YUM, YUM

SNACK
fruit salad (strawbs, rasps, pineapple, orange, grapes, melon....ONLY LITTLE OF EVERYTHING

Still feel really hungry today girls! Dont know why I am feeling like this..not sure what to eat tonight either as OH is going for a swim but I need to go to the other allotment and do some planting or they will die! So, will walk home which is a good 30 min walk, up to 5500 steps today already, just about to go to Manchester and will have to walk to Deansgate which will take a good 15 mins there and the same back, so I reckon I should do over 12000 steps today (did that yesterday)!!!

So, what to have for DINNER, I did have something in mind, but doubt I will have time, so the jury is out here..might be soup again!!!

Still going well and dont even think about bingeing at all! Strange, even although I am hungry I am not tempted.

Hopefully get on later tonight!!!!

DINNER
I had an omlette filled with leeks, mushrooms, asparagus (again), lemon thyme and courgette.....made with 2 eggs, semi milk and a little grated WW cheese and half a tomato

Cicik - cucumber/yoghurt salad

WW Yoghurt

Dont feel so hungry now, thankfully!!! Up to 1500 steps as I had to walk from Manchester Piccadilly station to Waterstones and then walk to Deansgate station aftewards....got a wee blister on the ball of my foot now as I was wearing sandals... :-(

 

[kered]

Well between the both of us, there must definitely be something in the air. Whatever it is, I hope it floats around for a while to come.

Well done on all the steps yesterday Iris, thats GREAT going.

 

[summergurl]

wowser, 12000 steps!!!! go you!!

Iris, have something satisfying for dinner tonight, you know soup doesnt cut it with you. How about something like a baked potato with some fish and salad? Is that allowed?

 

[JanD]

I don't like my passport photo but there's a lot less lines on that face than this one LOL! xx
