Tina's diary of hopefull optimism!

[The Moog]

Sounds soooo familiar. Ours isn't continent at night either, but he only sleeps for 3-4 hours, so we try and make the most of that!

Weighted blankets didn't work, but we did get the most amazing Safespace from our OT. We were sleeping on the landing because of him wandering during the night - naty incidents with knives and scalding water... The safespace in brilliant. In full melt-down and over night he can't get out and he can't hurt himself on anything because it's padded. Plus it deadens the noise, so his brother and sister sleep a bit better too.

And they're waterproof/wipe clean for accidents during the night!

Brushing works brilliantly for loads of children. Other than head and ears it's no good for us - he's hypo-sensitive on his limbs. Can cut himself and doesn't notice. Nothing seems to work on his head - it's combat-hairdressing all the way with that one!

Keep it going with the diet! Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, so fingers crossed for weigh-in

Spoke too soon! This sinus infection is sooooo not beaten! Dunno if it was having the heating on for bathing the monsters or the sun coming out (and presumably the pollen) but my poor face is aching like ******* and I just feel a bit sick from all the pills.

Hadn't eaten all morning so am trying to force down a WW curry (only thing left in freezer!!!!!) but it's not going down well at all. Scales are very firmly stuck on 189 and have been since fri I think!! So not eating AT ALL is probably going to make things worse it's definitely a 'give up And throw in the towel' kind of day!! Lol

There's now news crews outside the murder house but local paper website say 2 ppl have been arrested already. Good. I hope they throw the scumbags in a cell and throw away the key. It's all a bit disturbing.

Oh honey, don't you dare throw in the towel!!! Do what you can to get through this cold then get right back on plan... or else!!! x

 

[Legomom]

Yes ma'am lol

I've come in at goal but I did steal some chips off kids tea! Think I'm going to have myself a little treat before bed as I think I deserve something truly chocolatey today!!!! I'm thinking that creme egg that's been calling me all week........

[Legomom]

Well I avoided the creme egg. And my restraint has been rewarded lol the scales have finally edged down a teeny bit so fingers crossed!! Gonna try this chugging loads of water thing today while I've been ill most of my fluids have been in full caffeinated form I'm sick of the sugar level on MFP being in the red every day so I've bought some sweetener.

Ugh. Nasty stuff!! But it may cure my sugar addiction lol hubby has kindly refilled the shelves a little so we don't all starve but he's bought croissants for breakfast today!! Dear god the SMELL!!!!

My face aches less today so I can wear my glasses again yay!! Which means I can drive again!! So I'm off to aldi for the super 6 lol exciting times!!!

Hahaha! I laughed out loud at this. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Nothing worse than discovering you're 200 calories short and you look up and there just so happens to be a 178 calorie creme egg staring back at you from the cupboard? Life works in beautiful ways

Good food day today breakfast was really yummy and lasted me aaages so think it's going a regular on my menu lol lunch was kak. WW lasagne and pretty vile..but I didn't want two lots of bread today tea was LUSH!!! soooo filling and tasty!! And I discovered WW rich choc dessert. It's really nice an 60 cals!!!! Woooooo!!!!

Been interviewed by the police today about the murder good news is that two ppl have been arrested and it WASN'T a burglary. Sad news is that they were family members. Who'd murder their 94 yr old nan???? It's just horrible. But at least hubby isn't gonna be getting up at every noise tonight looking for burglars!

Not a single binge thought or craving today! I did gaze longingly at a lemon meringue donut for a mo in asda but I think that's a perfectly natural reaction to a sexy wee donut!! How many days binge free am I now eh?

Haha legomom, you're fantastic! Your posts are always hilarious I know the donuts you mean. Omnomnomnom. I pass them and they shout "Eat me! Eat me! You don't even need to bring me to the checkout! Just pop me in your tummy!" Asda bakery = The cake shop of doom I tell ya!

 

[Legomom]

Asda bakery since they started this 'chosen by you' malarkey.....it's like binge eaters porn. Even the granola squares are utterly decadent! And I can't even talk about the cupcakes

Today has been sooooo long. Kids are grumpy and I'm very tired.

I'm unamused with my scales. They are obviously blooming broken!!! I mean where's the justice!! Drag myself thru the week sticking to my cals obsessively even tho I'm ill.....and NOTHING. Not even a whole lb. I can't see over a lb coming off in two days either so first June weigh in will be a bag of balls as they say. Goddammit. Who freaking plateau's after TWO WEEKS!!!!! it's not right!

Dear god clotted cream is HOW many cals???? Ooops. Good job it was just the one spoonful then lol

[lindseydodd408]

Oh Tina!!! You will be amazed how weight can drop off in two days if the scales have not moved for the rest of the week... chug the water, it really does help with any retention that might be influencing those pesky scales... clotted cream is soooooooooo not the answer to getting the scales moving in the right direction.

If you get disheartened after a sneeky peak then perhaps you should consider only weighing once a week, sneeky peaks should be used as a guide but nothing more than that, they are not acurate enough. Put the big stick down and stop beating yourself with it!!! x

 

[Tol116]

Oh but clotted cream is so delicious .......

It's making my mouth water just thinking about it!

Husband is going to lock them in the shed clotted cream is definitely not the answer lol It fitted into my cal allowance just about but I've had to sacrifice the three vodka diet cokes I had planned for tonight!! Guess who's driving now??

The cream WAS really really good tho!! Fresh strawberries, lightly crushed, splash of white wine and leave to marinate the cream was a necessity really!!!

Mmm your strawberries and cream sound lovely!

It's 'everybody out of the pool' time at our house today! I'm going to be kicking butt all morning! My own included. The sun is shining and I'm feeling almost back to normal so it's time to get out of these 4 Walls!!! Big un is NOT amused by this plan but the other two need some exercise and a change of scenery. So do I !!!

So we're dusting off the bikes and hitting the park. None of us have left the house for 7 days (the supermarket does not count!) and it's 3 votes to one so big un will just have to lump it!! There's more to life than the DS.

I'm sure he will make life miserable for me for most of the trip tho lol

Oh poo I just realised I had bread for breakfast . This is going to make my picnic plans a bit tricky!! Sigh. More bleeding lettuce!!!!

J. Has hidden all our shoes in an attempt to prevent the great family expedition. But I'm guarding my door keys after last time! Little swine had pushed them inside a spare loo roll in the guest bathroom at the back of a cupboard.....two days to find them!!!!!
