CarolineM's new improved diary

Ah, Charlene - it's probably water retention. Alas, our bodies are not like cars - if only huh!

Sorry not been around folks - totally lost control of my eating at the mo.

Got some holiday booked for next week and plan to get some good rest, do some gardening (weather permitting) and chill. Oh and get back on the diet.

Glad you are all doing so well.

Shep - go you, keep it up :D
 
Hello :D

I really needed a break and definitely chilled out - ate like a pig too but hey ho hehe!

Back on track today and so far so good :D

How is everyone doing?
 
Welcome back Caroline. :D I hope today goes well for you!
I've been 100% since Tuesday and am determined to keep that up, although the weekend is not going to be easy I'm sure. :eek:

What's everyone up to this weekend?
 
We are at mum's as usual tomorrow - hoping to may be go visiting somewhere if the weather is good.

Sunday - cleaning, a bit of work and rest day! May go see District 9 (minus the popcorn and pick n' mix).

What you up to?

well I had another loss and looking forward to keeping within my calories this weekend ifI can.

Hope you have a good one.:D
 
How's everyone finding the weekend so far? I've had granola for breakfast and feeling good at the moment... I just hope it stays that way lol.

Hope you all have a nice weekends!
 
Had porridge with a few raisins sprinkling of cinnimon and nutmeg, not feeling hungry today :) Its so cold here thinking of turning on the heating:cry: but with the cost of gas :cry:The gas company's have alot to answer to :mad: Nothing exciting on this weekend chilling out..
 
Hi Caroline! (And everybody else!)

Hope you had a good day at your Mum's!

I'm back from hols now - not sure of the damage till Monday but I definitely have a new 'muffin' :eek:

Best of luck for the new week :) xx
 
Welcome back Jan *hugs*

Well my weekend diet plans went to pot. Mother just piles in the food and gets so "angry" and plays the guilt trip on me when i comment on it - for example, this weekend she cooked veg, potatoes and sausages (a meal right?), then she added in a 3rd of a quiche! Then trifle, then cheese and biscuits. It's too much! But dare I not eat it - blimey, no, life would not be worth living! That's how it feels sometimes.

Anyway enough of my rant about my poor mum who loves me so much she wants to feed me to death hehe!

Sunday I just continued to blow it - celebrated my birthday instead of doing so on this Weds.

So now I'm back on track today and admittedly due to eating rubbish I'm really feeling the calorie deficit - but my own fault.

Good luck everyone :D
 
Oh 'eck .... I thought your Mum had 'come round' and wasn't trying to feed you up as much ... or did that not last long? It's hard isn't it? I'm sure that's why I have a terrible time trying (and not always succeeding) to resist stuff at MY mother's. She doesn't do stuff for me - well she can't any more, but it's like as soon as i walk through the door there's a little voice that's starts 'what can i eat'? 'what can i eat'?'what can i eat'? ..... It's crazy!

Good luck this week anyway.

Hope you have a lovely birthday! xx
 
It's a type of insanity alright hehe!

Didn't do so good yesterday but didn't do too bad either.

Had pink apple and cinnamon granola and low fat yogurt this morning.

And for some reason I now have the most horrendous gallstone pains - but there just ain't enough fat in the granola and yogurt to justify it :( Stupid gallstones, bah! Hopefully it will pass soon. Guess on the plus side it is a reminder of why I need to lose the weight!
 
I used to watch what I ate but have come to realise that it really doesn't seem to make a difference except that I may feel sick if I eat something with a lot of oil. Pain wise, it just seems completely random.

Diet gone to pot to be honest - I'm feeling sorry for myself which is not a good state to me, kind of pathetic really. Tis my birthday tomorrow so I need to cheer up.

Won't be able to diet tomorrow so will be a a really good go from Thursday - I've got a target now of August next year when we are off on hols to Krakow with mum. Don't want that belt extender again - hostesses were professional and all but I felt embarrassed which isn't like me. Plus we probably have to fly Ryanair and we know what being fat means when you go Irish!

You can do it..... put some mini goals down. I am sure we can do it, got nothing planned for new year but have seen this years photos and didn't realise that i looked that bad, I thought I had looked okay but the camera never lies so diet and tone up the lumpy legs. Gonna be 39 on the 1st october, next year i hit the big 40 and i want to be alot slimmer. I want to get below the 200 by the end of October and then continue onwards and downwards. ;)
 
Oh dear Caroline! I hope your pain has subsided :eek: ....

Have a lovely birthday (I know I've said it before - but you can't say it too often now can you!) xx
 
hehe thanks ladies :D

I'm definitely stuffing the diet.

I really wish I could find an approach that worked for me though - seem to flutter around like a struggling butterfly. But, I shall sit down yet again and plan plan plan :D

Was up really early this morning (4.00am) - kitties got me up and since hubby is away until five o'clock today I decided to watch some tellly, eat some bad food and generally enjoy myself this morning :D

Of course, I'm now shattered but that's life hehe!
