Thread: Mich's Diary - Getting my life back on track but still away to go - back soon!!!

OK as today is the start of a new era I have decided to start a new diary thread....and will endeavour to post on it on a daily basis...cos that's what your supposed to do with a diary isn't it?.....LOL

Just a quick bit of background for any new readers....I am happily married to my OH and have been for 13 years......have three gorgeous kids - see aviator (Jennie....you know what I mean...LMAO!!!) Harry is 11, Charlie is 6 and Lucy is 4......I am currently not working but looking...hoping to find a fulfilling job in 2007.......


OK last night I had the 'last supper'.....again and ended it by eating lots of chocolate.....

Hubby had to go to work this morning - he's helping out my bro who works for himself.....so his alarm went off at 7am....OMG way, way too early for a festive holiday period poor thing so didn't want to get up......shame...LOL!! I promptly turned over and went back to sleep.....for a while till the rug rats came a knocking and brought me pictures they have been creating...bless....haven't a clue what they are but the thoughts there....LOL!!! Eventually dragged myself out of the pit at about 9.30am.....it's gonna kill me when the kids go back to school and I have to be up at 7am.....

Made the beds, fed the kids and have just tidied up downstairs....looked like a bomb site got a load of washing on and got a load of stuff to iron.....yuck....gonna have a quick shower and then get ironing....it shouldn't take too long once I start....although I keep getting waylaid by the computer....mmmmm I wonder why

I have already been on the scales and it doesn't look good.....I estimated my ticker 2 days ago that I would be 16.10lbs and yup I estimated right......this morning I was 16.10lbs I am not going to dwell on what I was down to or how much I've put on....there is no point....I can't change it instantly.....damage is done now to get on with the job of rectifying it...... PMA is what I'm going to develop.....PMA!!!

I am on my first litre of water and am struggling because I feel so stuffed from all the excess of the last few weeks I had my first hunger pang earlier....forgotten what they were like....LOL .....so glugging the water......looking forward to that unbloated empty feeling...... weirdo I hear you cry!!!

Anyway, I'm off to measure myself and will get hubby to take pics later......this really is my day 1 on CD so I'm going back to basics and doing everything I would do on a proper day 1....this means - weighing myself (I will attempt to only do this once a week but cannot guarantee it....bit of a scales obsessive ), I will measure all my body bits and I will take photos once a month......starting today....as Thursday is today then Thursday mornings will be my official weigh in day so this makes the next on 4 January 2007!!!

Will ramble more later......

Hope everyone is having a good day.......

Lots of love

Good to have you back honey. That'll be the last time you see 16 st 10

Thanks DQ - you are right 16.10 is history after today

Meant to say had some lush knee length boots come this morning from Evans......and I can do them up....woo hoo....!!!

OK - I really must get in the shower....I smell....LOLOLOL!

Coolio!!! I love Evans Boots

Quick update......

Ironing mountain is slowly moving.....but then will be rapidly added to as the wash basket is almost full again Someone tell me why I had so many kids....LOl (only kiddin...honest.....they are all being good today so my vocal chords haven't been stretched....LOL!!)

Have had 2 1/2 litres of water so far and just having a hot choc mint shake......it feels nice....just feeling a bit hungry but by the time I've drunk the shake and some more water this will be gone....no headache yet....will start on the solphedine later to try and keep it at bay....

Managed to make the kids some sarnies for lunch and not lick my fingers......they've just all had chocolate and it's just sooooo tempting but I know if I have one that'll be the slippery slope.... Every time I open the cupboard it's there looking at me along with the biscuits and an opened packet of shortbread....I think I'm gonna have to move them so I can't see them....one of the tins of bics and the box of chocs left have v v long shelf life on them (October 07 time) so I'm gonna put them away for another time....

Feeling positive and focused.....I can do this, I can...... OK back to the mountain.......and Rikki Lake.......such dross on the TV at the moment

Love

Hi Hun.. sounds like you're off to a good start today.. those lbs will soon be melting away!!!!!
I got on the scales today and was where I expected to be!! not happy but only myself to blame.. I've been totally off the rails since the CD confrence at the begginning of the month!!! I haven't got back on track yet but will be figuring out a plan of action over the next couple of days!!!!!..2007 will see us both to where we want to be.. I'm sure of it

Much love as always xxxx

Still doing OK......3 1/2 litres of water and still only one pack - gonna have another in a minute while watching Hollyoaks - I'm hooked at the mo.....nasty Clare hope she get's her comuppance.....don't die Max....Tom needs you and OB too....LOLOLOLOL I really should get out more....or not....that's where alot of my excesses have come from over the festive seasons too much going out....tooo much food and way way tooo much voddie.....

Have just served up a quickie tea (not alot in the cupboards only chocolate and as much as my lot would love to just eat it all it is so not good for them.....just look at their mother....LOL ) - they've had cheesy mash, bacon and beans...mmmmmmm I've had to retreat to the computer to stop myself disappearing head first into it....I could start on the 1st couldn't I?????? - er how about NO WAY JOSE!!!!!! LOL

They've all demolished it now and I can hear the dulcet tones of 'what's for pudding'..... - just gonna go and force feed them huge slabs of choc log - when it's gone it's gone.....have also but away the other stuff I was on about earlier - I know where it is at the mo but what's the betting I'll forget cos it's in a place I don't go very often - the cupboard where the best plates etc are.....no visitors here for a while not whilst I'm SSing anyway....yeah I know.....shelfish - well if I can't eat nor can they!!!

All the family going to my sisters tomorrow - she is cooking all the dishes we did during our cookery course - about 10 I having tasted them all before will not be par-taking...I will take a soup and have that and water......I may even be daring and make them into crisps......LOL!!

Anyway, hubby is hovvering over my shoulder.... being a bit of a pain so gonna go....need to make a soup - give the kids their choc log and chuck them out the lounge so I can sit and watch Hollyoaks - in peace...... I shall, no doubt, return later....

Love

Thanks Mandy......it's been a struggle.....I was OK till around 2 hours ago and now all I can think about is food.....Aaargh

Don't stress about your weight....this is such a difficult time of year...and you are so busy/stressed out....set yourself a date and then just get back on track.....2007 will be the year we both achieve our goals hun....no doubt about it....

Thank you kind lady for your compliments...one likes to make an effort to look gorgeous....loosing this excess blubber should help.....

Well done on your almost 7lbs again this week....you really are going for it.....so, so proud of you......I'd better keep on track else you'll be lighter than me soon.....

Well as just mentioned I am going demented thinking of food.... I am glugging the water like a good un and ironing like a loon.....still not finished it..... Have lost count of the amount of water I've drunk....got another pack to go and then a reasonable night.....I can't believe I've managed a whole day....it has been hard........but remembering them feelings of slimness is keeping me going.....

I will be back again tomorrow......but for now today I have had:

4 -5 litres water approx
1 x hot choc mint
1 x veg soup
just about to have 1 x vanilla and coffee

Night night all.

Lots of love and thanks for your support you guys rock
