Hi Sarah Lou, well done on not buying them! Yeah, I'll definitely join you in rehab. Have a great weekend. x

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. I'm not going to be on minimins much this weekend, as my hubby, daughter and I are going to be spending some much-needed time together. I will catch up with you all very soon, though, I promise.

Well, after having a really good week diet-wise (apart from Haribogate ) I had my weigh in this morning. I couldn't believe it!! I'd only lost 0.1lbs!!! Well, it's actually strange, because I didn't immediately get down about it, and remained positive. I know that I stuck to the diet and that it was because I didn't have my thyroid medication that I didn't see the result I wanted. It's made me even more determined to lose more next week.
Anyway, hubby's just got home, so I'd better go. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I'll chat soon. xx

Hey Tess, it sounds like things are looking up with your husband which is great - I was thinking about you while I was away and wondering how you were doing. You are doing really well - I was so pleased for you seeing the 18lbs!! Keep going and stay positivexx

Hi Cookie! Nice to hear from you. Did you have a good time away? Did wonder where you were.
Things are going a bit better with hubby now. We had a big argument the other day, which actually cleared the air. (our first argument in about 5 years!) Still have quite a few issues to work out, but we're getting there.
Diet-wise - it has not been a good weekend, mainly coz I went to a Halloween party...which slightly got outta hand.... I'm not going to dwell on it and have drawn a line under the weekend. I'm starting afresh today and am still feeling positive. I only have a 4 day-week now, so I'm going to have to be super good to ensure I lose weight this week. Going to Zumba tonight, which I'm really looking forward to. Have to burn up those calories from the weekend!!!
At work now, so I will catch up with you all very soon (I have more time when I'm on nightshift).
Hope you're all well. Have a great week. x

Hi Rumbly, great to hear from you! Things have been a bit manic with work at the mo, so haven't had chance to get on the internet much. Got another very hectic day ahead of me, but I'm on nights from tomorrow, so I can catch up with everyone and have a chat.
Hope you're well. Have a great day. x

 

[Tessieg1]

if anyone can do it, you can tess!! good luck.

Aaah, thanks very much Leeds. Appreciate it. Have a great day. Hope you're ok too, Hon. x

 

[Tessieg1]

Hi everyone, hope you are well. Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. It's been a bit manic on dayshift, so I'm on nights for the next two days. I will go through your diaries and have a catch up with everyone. I've got quite a bit of work to do tonight, as we have an internal audit next week and my manager has asked me to ensure that all our actions have been completed by the end of shift on my last night. No pressure then!
I've had bit of a mixed week really. I'm still feeling positive re CD, but I'm still trying to forget about my horrendous Halloween night fall-off-the-wagon moment. I really don't want to STS this week, although it will be my own fault. I've been 100% again for the last couple of days, but when I stepped on the scales this morning, it shows a pound and a half gain still!!! Do you guys think I can lose this and a bit more by Friday morning? I'd be happy even with a pound loss to be honest. I've been drinking extra water and I did go to my Zumba class on Monday. It nearly killed me to be honest. The usual instructor was off sick, so we had a stand-in and he was obviously used to advanced classes. I had to stop halfway through coz I thought I was going to pass out!!! Not happy. Will be glad to see Rosa, my instructor back next week.
Apart from that I don't really have much news to be honest. I've been extremely busy with work. My daughter has been ill, bless her, but she seemed ok today, thankfully. I think I'm coming down with what she had, as I now have a sore throat and stuffy head. Just what I needed!
Anyway, I have to get on with some work.
Will chat later, lovely ladies. xx

Hi Tessie, well done for getting back on track after the wknd, I didn't do that great either but onwards and downwards as they say. I'm sure you will loose abit more once your glycogen stores let go of the wknd blip. I also take meds, so I know how you feel as if I have to take a few more than normal my weight loss just stops, hence why it's taking me ages. Work sounds busy for you tonight, I have a feeling it might be that way for me tomorrow as a few people at work today were feeling a bit like you. I hope you manage to get a bit of a break tonight, have a good shift

 

[Cookie77]

Wow you do sound busy! I think you could drop that by Friday if you stay 100% dont you? I hope your daughter is ok? Is it the winter cold? Eva has not stopped streaming and coughing for about 3 weeks now. Youre so good doing your exercise as well as dieting - I have yet to start... Oh well - take care and keep it going!xx

Hi Sarah,thanks very much, Hon. Good luck for your weightloss this week and your day at work tomorrow. Yeah, it's pretty busy at work and I shouldn't be on mini's but can't stop myself! LOL.
Chat soon.

Hi Cookie, thanks Hon. I'm really hoping and praying for a miracle by Friday. Jess is ok, thanks. I don't think it was an actual cold, but I don't know exactly. She wasn't coughing or anything like that. She was sick once and then kept telling me her throat hurts. She's still not eating much, but at least her fever is down. Hope Eva gets well soon.
I WILL be 100% for the rest of the week! That is my pledge.
Have a great evening, Hon. x

Well, I managed to get through this nightshift ok. I actually only had two packs (my Strawberry Tetra and my choccy bar) and a cup of Golden Veg "soup". I am going to have a choc mint shake before I go to bed, I think.
I'm extremely tired at the moment and am desperate to get into my bed. However, I have to wait till 8:30 when my little girl goes to the childminder.
Hope you all have a great day and I'll catch up with you tonight.

 

[rumbly-tums]

Tessie, darl........no haribo incident last night then??!!! He heeeeee
How you feeling today?
Im deffo up for a meet up my love - we can make our shakes in a sad little cafe and inhale bacon butties until we drown ourselves in 4 litres of water

Hello lovely lady! Working nights again! Luckily last one, though. No, the haribos left me alone, thank goodness. I've been pretty strict with the operators and told them not to come near me with food! LOL. They did venture over a while back to offer my shift partner some white choc, though, but I felt distinctley disinterested.
It would be great to meet up. I haven't been up to Manchester before. Maybe we could also meet in the middle? Anyway, we'll chat more about that soon. Even though I don't eat bacon, I totally love the smell of it, so I really like your idea.

I'm feeling a bit apprehensive as I have my weigh in tomorrow morning. Since my "big blip" Saturday, I feel like I haven't lost weight, even though I've been 100% for the last few days. Plus, the fact that I usually don't show much of a loss after a nightshift isn't very motivating right now. Guess we'll see, hey!
I'm feeling a bit headachy this evening, actually, but I'm not sure if it's tiredness or CD. Didn't sleep much today, and I've only had two CD meals so far. Think I'm going to go and have a nice Golden Veg water for now, just to stave off the hunger a bit. Don't want to eat too much tonight coz of my wi. I have already drunk 2 litres of water, though, so that's going well.
I've got so much to do work-wise tonight, but I am seriously not in the mood for it! Gotta continue with work for the audit, but might wait till I've had my cuppa.

Anyway, I'll chat soon. Take care. x

 

[Tessieg1]

Well, it's almost the end of my nightshift, thank goodness. I'm so tired I can't see straight. Really in need of my bed now. Have had so much coffee this evening that I think I have coffee flowing in my veins now instead of blood!
Had a stonker of a headache earlier, which I struggled to shift. It is mildly better now thanks to some strong paracetamol.
Have my weigh-in at 9am. Suddenly feeling quite sick about going for my weigh in.... really want to have lost weight this week so I can stay motivated. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I won't be on mini's much today, but I will post quickly once I return from weigh in.

Hope you lovely people have a great day.
Chat soon. x
