DOING SW FROM HOME???

[Laura94B]

I am REALLY fed up with the snow. I usually go for a brisk walk every day for an hour or so. With the snow and ice on the ground I can`t walk as quickly as normal. Being stuck indoors is getting me down. With hubby`s memory loss I can`t just go out when I like, he`s wondered off before and it`s taken hours to find him. I`m trying to get help but it`s all so slow.


My head isn`t on plan today struggling not to eat all hubby`s chocolate & biccies. He gets upset if I don`t buy them. Sometimes he`s ok, sometimes he`s like a petulant child.

Sorry about this folks, needed to get it out of my system

Sounds so frustrating Is there not a neighbour/family/friend who could sit with him while you go out and get some me time? x

I agree, this snow can do one now! Woke up to more, traffic is bedlam, blimin nightmare. Just had to pop out and slid for about 8ft, good blimin job no car was there!

Bought myself a couple of tops, one in a 12 and one in a 10 the size 10 is a peplum top. Never tried one on before but they hide my wobbly bits so love them! I know I've been down about not getting back on plan and loosing but to be buying a size 10 compared to 18s a year ago is a dream come true! I need to realise how far I've come and if more comes off then great

Good day so far, weetabix and fruit for brekkie and just had a huge bowl of sf soup. So all syns to play with and could be a ee or red day, I like to decide later

GrannieAnn, rant away my lovely. You do an absolutely amazing job. The snow will hopefully go soon so you can get back to your walks. Big big hugs, I think you're fantastic x

After two crap days trying to get my head right and back on plan, its not even temptation of choccies and stuff lying around its just my mood and having alcohol makes it worse... Sneaky wi didnt help showing 2.5 lb on again..must.stop weighing in every day too. Hoping ill at least stay the same this week and will modify my mini goal date as i know i wont make 7lb iby feb now

Not sure what day yet as not sure what to do for dinner either fish or lm burgers. If my back stops hurting i might even start a little exercising again too and see how it goes

:-( these WI's before our official WI really screw with our minds. Totally sympathise with you hun. Big hugs x

Aww hun.... big hugs and rant away just being able to say it well type it out loud can help rather than bottling it up :bighug:

Thanks

You'd think we'd know by now wouldn't ya..

I know I've over synned etc etc but I know I haven't consumed that many calories extra to put on that weight... Think I'll have another big water and lemon before lunch and knock up a quick cauliflower and brocoli soup for lunch.

Thanks Raven. I am still struggling and havent managed to stay within my syns since I hurt the ankle. Am still at home and just find that I eat through boredom rather than anything as I think I am am hungry, but not really!! My WI day is Saturday and my aim is just to try and stay the same this week. I just need one or two good days under my belt, or to be at work where there is no distractions! lol. Might have to go back to A&E today though as I still can fully walk properly and my job involves standing all day, so may need to be signed off for longer... which is worse for the SW!! Grrr!!!! Thanks for the support though and hope your ankle is getting better quickly xx

My ankle is still too painful to walk properly. I do hope you get yours sorted asap love, it's very frustrating isn't it :-( xxx

Are you using the minimins app? If so, when you're writing your message there should be a blue + sign at the top of the screen, press attach from photos, it might ask if you want to allow minimins to access your photos, click allow and you should just be able to select the photo and upload it!

I need to update my IPhone to latest software and I'm struggling as it keels backing my phone up and won't let me update! So as soon as I do I'll go on the app instead as at the minute I just go on the website. Thanks for the help x

Bought myself a couple of tops, one in a 12 and one in a 10 is one of those tops that is tight over boobs and tummy then has a panel that fans out! No idea what they're called but hide the major wobbly bits so happy with that! I know I've been down about not getting back on plan and loosing but to be buying a size 10 compared to 18s a year ago is a dream come true! I need to realise how far I've come and if more comes off then great

Peplum style top you can get them in dresses too. I never thought I could wear that style because I have a small waist and large hips but for my work Xmas meal I wore one and never had so many compliments!

Too right you should feel amazing about how far you've come, I hope I can do as well as you have done in a year!

How you doing now? x

Back on plan - yay!

Drama in my life seems to have eased up too, me & my bf are back on track and things are going well, my grandad is showing improvements (albeit small ones) and I'm generally feeling a lot happier!

Peplum is obviously the way forward and I really don't think you should feel old wearing it!

Glad you're back to it and happier. Any diet is hard when you've got other stuff going on. Hopefully we're both back!

Tilly fab pasties!!

Mmmm they look so tasty!! I'm supposed to be having chicken fried rice (fake away style obviously!) tonight, I never get my rice that colour though its always still really pale! I use soy sauce & thats it? How did you do the s & p chicken? Was it literally just s & p all over the chicken?
Ill have to try the pasties too, might have those tomorrow!

Thanks for the lovely messages! We don`t really know our neighbours, it`s a bit of a comuter area. On the odd occasion we do see the woman next door she glares at us as if we`re something nasty she just stepped in. She`s never actually said as much but treats us like we`re scroungers cos we`re on benefits. I feel like putting her straight but it would upset hubby. Not only that, she could complain to our housing association. We don`t want to be evicted. Until he became sick, we both worked full time, had done since the mid-seventies.

I don`t feel guilty for claiming benefits, we paid our taxes for enough years now it`s our turn to claim. We are trying to get moved. We are in a village and all our family are in town. The council have already said they have more than 5,000 people waiting for a 1 bedroom flat on their list. We don`t qualify for anything else. As for renting privately, we have to forget that. We would only get £520 per month housing benefit for private rental and we`d have to pay the rest. Most in our area are £800 a month upwards. Dread to think how much a house would be.

I feel a bit better now! Off to have some lunch, the remainder of yesterday`s diet coke chicken
