I know love, not content with bashing around mountain trails in an old jeep, I did some paragliding and parascending. Great stuff!!

Hi sweetie, had about 10 pages to catch up on! hope you're feeling better. Oh, and about your shopping trip - well done! I'm fairly sure Animal is a british brand so you can trust the sizes.X

It's so quiet around here without our Claire!

 

[British_Claire_84]

Hey all, sorry am a bit elusive atm have been busy in work and just tired out. Also feeling a bit fed up with the diet as have been dieting for 7 months now and it's starting to drag a little. Dying to just have cereal/toast for brekkie n a sandwich for dinner, am so fed up of having salad everyday at work. I'll be reet, just need to pull me thumb out me a*se n get on with it. I still feel really flabby, especially at the mo as i reckon im retaining water. Humph. Have still been low carbing, don't worry, not fallen off the wagon. Just haven't been counting 100% these last couple of days but doubt i'll have gone over.

 

[Bad Jar]

Hi sweetie, I dont know how you've stuck it so long. I've been doing it for 2 months and i find it dragging, so well done you!

It might be worth having a trawl through the recipe threads - that#s what I've done to perk myself up. How about varying your salads? Getting some pork ribs, cooking them up and shredding the meat into a salad of green leaves, spring onion and chilli with a lime vinagraitte? sort of asian style?

 

[Jim]

Morning all, morning Claire. I know the watershed you are in so well love, I went through that so many times, I have been doing this for so many year, sometimes it seems like a lifetime. Go back to the "So your're thinking of starting Atkins" thread and choose some different veggies, get yourself out of the rut and look at different meat choices etc...

 

[British_Claire_84]

Thanks Jim n Jar Just feeling a bit fed up at the moment that's all. After forgetting to wi on mon i did tues n was over 2lb up!! However today i had a wi n was 176.6! So a loss of about 4lbs in 3 days.. Crazy. I'm sure it's just water weight but these last few days i've felt mahoosive again. Just need to knuckle down and keep going i guess. Did have a slightly naught brekkie/dinner though but couldv'e been worse and still intend on being on target carbs wise today.

D. One slice burgens soya n linseed bread toasted with butter on 11.9
Two scrambly eggies 0
Coffee with cream n sweetner 0.5

12.4 so far..

Had a sore tummy all night last night and felt massively bloated. Ended up having two trapped wind tablets as the one just didn't cut it. Then was still unfortable and couldn't drop off despite being shattered so heated up my wheat bag teddy n dropped off with it on my tummy. Woke up and it was still in place!! Must've slept without moving at all which is unlike me. Had a lie in today and feel sleepy still, think this last set of shifts has taken it outta me for some reason. Had to do one late, one mid then five earlies though and i hate doing earlies as i picked up extra due to a colleague being on leave which means no cover, just me n no breaks either which is a pain when it's busy.

On top of that, mum n dads cat but kinda mine n me bros too as we were at home for years whilst the cat was, is in the vets at the mo. Not looking good at all, mums upset, brother wont talk about it as he's a soft sod at heart.. Hope the poor ol thing pulls through, will be v.sad if he doesn't. Will feel wierd going home to mum n dads n him not being there. Will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Having hair done again tmoz - hurrah!! That'll cheer me up. Got me car booked in for service n mot next week - £250. Cheaper than some places i know but still a lot of money i don't exactly have lol. Got me new 0% tesco card through though so can at least get my secondary glazing booked in so it'll be done before winter thankfully. All sodding expense at the moment!!

 

[Jim]

Hi Claire, sorry to hear about the cat, It's always sad when pets go love.

Hi Claire - everyone, I've been reading through some posts & wondering if it's end of summer doldrums. I know we haven't had any real summer but the nights were lighter & there was that summer feeling. Now there's an Autumn feel to the air. I am tired of eating salads aswell, yet it's too early for winter warming food. We need something different but don't know what. Lol, I remind myself of my late husband, if I asked him what he fancied for dinner, he'd always say 'Oh, something exotic!' with a grin. Whereupon I'd say 'bangers & mash?'
Take care all.
