[PrincessSparklePants]

fantastic! Glad that you're feeling better. Hopefully the long weekend coming up means you can relax even more

I'm not too bad at all thank you, starting with the garden - but taking a day off today as very sore

Well done for the walking

hi susie
i swear by Leslie i enjoy my 1 mile walk with her and know i can do that with her then up it to 2 miles when i feel fitter x x x
glad your feeling a little better love x x x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thank you honey

Didn't get up in time to do Leslie today, but I must say I am VERY impressed with the Paul McKenna book - a very clear explanation of why we override the "full" signals, etc. Going to give the hypnosis bit a good practice over the weekend - in between wine and one or two eggs

Bit of an itty bitty day for food today - trying cottage cheese with cranberries, apple and pumpkin seeds - from the Tesco new Healthy Living range - 195 cals for a 170g pot.

Have a great Easter, everyone xxx

Brilliant! Well done! That's half the battle realising when you've had a taste and that's enough!

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL Princess I lost the battle later, scoffed the rest of the bag....

In fact, it has been a bit of a see food and eat it weekend so far, but strangely I haven't gained...oh well, back to skinny soups and smoothies on Tuesday

Hope everyone's having a lovely Easter break.

 

[PrincessSparklePants]

Hahaha! Well you tried It's Easter though, you're allowed a break

 

[chezz]

lol lol your allowed a break at bank holidays x x x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning lovelies

Well surprisingly I strayed a bit on the food front on the weekend and didn't do any exercise apart from housework, but am back to pre Italy weight this morning - so that's 7lbs gained and lost woohoo!

Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend too! xxx

 

[PrincessSparklePants]

Yayayayayayayayayayay! Well done my lovely That is awesome, you deserve it xxxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Awww thanks hun! I think I have reduced quite how much I eat as well, been reading the hypnoband book and even without listening to the Cd, i think some of it is sinking in

Menu today -

B - yog, apple, banana on thin rice cakes
L - two cups of soups, two rice cake thins, kiwi fruit
D - veg casserole, cauli mash
S - maybe another apple; and lots of vits

Have a great day!

 

[PrincessSparklePants]

Yay! It's such a big step to take before you begin isn't it! and then you start to wonder how you didn't start earlier!!

I think it was Chez who said that it's the first 28 days that are the hardest before you really start to change your mindset? And now you're well over that and flying

 

[chezz]

its great once you get your head round it i going to start listening again next monday x x

Morning lovely ladies

Sorry I've been off the radar a bit but I got the DVD of my dad's funeral, which was wonderful to watch but obviously very emotional.

However, I've emerged out the other side now - after some gargantuan emotional eating too - and decided to try Boossh a for a week or two and see how I get on - it's a low carb vlcd but user reviews of the products seem very good. I really want to lose a bit before I go back home for the two memorial services in August instead of losing then putting straight back on!

Anyone else here tried it?

Hope you're all well and having a fab weekend xxx

 

[PrincessSparklePants]

Oh lovely, huge hugs! How are you doing, love? If you want to talk we're here xxx

Hopefully with a big more off you'll feel more comfortable come August too (if it ever gets hot that is!)

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks Princess you are a lovely lady Like everyone here, of course.

TBH I've found it more difficult lately coping with my dad's passing, right after my uncle - it all takes time, I know, but the DVD of Dad's funeral - while very sad and emotional for me - was also lovely, lots of pics of my folks when they were younger, so I'm trying to focus on that.

Also feel a bit jumpy in the flat after the burglaries, which is only to be expected, but I do feel sick every time I hear a noise. It just makes me so upset that I spent so long trying to buy a flat, and then when I did find this one, to spend all my dosh doing it up, only to feel like I don't want to live here any more. But I'm hoping that will also go with time.

Anyhoo - back to being positive - I've ordered 2 week's worth of Boossh stuff, which should arrive Wednesday, so Thursday is Boossh Day No idea how I will get on, I did try Slim and Save and hated the food, and ditched it by the end of Day 1 - but the reviews of Boossh food seem much better.

Short term aim - to get out of bed without having to roll several times and grunt more than a caveman

Anytime my lovely. I know how you feel, I lost my dad when I was 18 and it's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. Everytime I think I'm getting there it's just... wallop. A few months ago we were sorting out the house paperwork and came across the cards that had been placed on the wreaths outside the crem and broke down all over again - 10 and a bit years later.

It must have been very cathartic to watch too. It's always good to let your feelings out, you too Chezz. Bottling up leads to nothing but stuff you regret afterwards when they come out in one big burst directed at the wrong person or just in anger.

And as for the burglary too - eugh. All at once isn't it Is there a victim support type charity that the police can put you through? Or can you contact them and ask for a home security review? Don't let the *******s get you down, lovely!

Good look with Boossh! If nothing else the word itself is fun to say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSH. Ahem. (such a child!)


We're always here lovely always xxx
