hey chaps.
weigh in is on a monday morning. so far i've lost 2lbs... but i haven't been to the loo in nigh on three days, so hoping for a bigger loss...
that's what cocodamol does to you... not that i'm uncomfortable or anything. it just isn't the best of situations, ha. so plenty of water and fruit today
i have gone a bit over my points this week. haven't quite got the hang of things yet, and the evening shifts really didn't help!!
have discovered a few lovely things to help keep me going. finally got some yoghurts i can eat!! discovered cheesy snackajacks for half a point each and they are yum!! still loving the snacking on tomatoes thing. got some celery and some sour cream and chive dip for 1.5 points per quarter tub which is also yummy.
got some ryvita salt and vinegar snack things which taste a bit like the smell of dried cat food if you know what i mean.. think those may be held onto for emergency situations!!
back at work tomorrow. am off tuesday thursday and friday this week as i'm working the entire weekend. poop. but it's actually quite nice on a weekend. you can get a lot of things done without being interrupted and there are different people around. so it isn't all bad. can just really drag if you don't have much to keep you occupied... still. i do love being off during the week
oh. i got my wedding invitations. had to be a bit ingenuitive with a red felt tip but they look rather awesome. haven't finished with them yet though. they look like there's something missing so i'm going to have to pootle into a craft shop i think and see what i can find

good morning everyone. well. the scales report a loss of 5.25lbs!!
but i'm a little dubious as the batteries MUST be running low by now, ha. but i've waiting until today to change them so that i didn't get a scale change mid-week. i've recorded the highest number they gave me. when i first got on i'd lost 8lbs!! hee.
but i'll settle for five. need to get my water up though. i have been a little shocking with that over the weekend, and have had a couple of naughty nibbles but have kept my exercise up. want to be a bit more stringent with myself now that i'm getting used to what i can eat.
oh. and i have discovered cheesy snackajacks woo. ha.
also managed to find my ww bakewell tarts that i've been craving for the last week
had a good weekend.
oh. and i went to hobbycraft and got some really nice red ribbony stuff and some calligraphy pens. i was going to get things to stick on until i realised how many i would have to do!! ha. so i have been practicing my calligraphy (haven't written with a calligraphy pen in YEARS) and things are looking rather nice.
now do people write 'Wedding' or 'Abi and Thomas' on the front of wedding invitations (obviously with the appropriate names)... i don't know what to write on the front.
i was going to write the insides too, but think i may print something out and calligraphy people's names on the inside rather than writing the inside for 60 invitations in bloody calligraphy...
not sure whether am going to use the ribbon yet. will have to experiment with it

Hey Abz
Fab loss well done!!
When I made our wedding invitations I typed it all out & printed it onto see through paper (like greaseproof paper but not! can't think what its called?? acetate??) & then stuck that on the inside of the cards meant I could personalise the names etc.
Does any of that actually make sense??

thanks guys here's hoping that when i change the batteries in the scales i don't mysteriously put it all back on again...
i want to try and stick to 20 points per day again this week so i can save some up for when i get some kind of manic urge to eat then i can do within reason.
have had 6 points so far today. not doing too badly. at a friend's house for dinner tonight. i don't know what she has planned and i've forgotten my books etc, but she eats healthily so hopefully it will be all good
not sure what to have for lunch. might just have some rice cakes. they don't fill you up though, ha. so i'm constantly nibbling on them!!
i am going to do two swims this week and then tonight i'm walking to my friend's house which will be 40mins at a good speed for today's exercise and am going to try and do a little something each day, even if it's just 10 mins on the exercise bike!!
