Katycakes Won't Give Up...

[Katycakes]

there is just the teeniest scottish twang in the phrasing, or as my daughter says, 'Why do you DO that weird singy-thing when you talk?' A friend who grew up in the midlands and later worked with me in Dundee has exactly the same weird intonation... when daughter saw us together she thought it was 'well spooky!'

No Irish twang at all, just that half of my bloodline is Irish.

I've got a quarter Welsh in me. Mum's dad was Welsh. She was a Morgan.

Reminds me of a story of a couple of friends of mine (K & D) who had just come back to England from their annual holiday in Turkey, which was usually a bit of a wild week (pretty boys out there). They had gone out to a restaurant and 'K's son was wearing a Turkish t-shirt. 'K' was asked by the (Turkish) waiter "Do you have any Turkish in you?" To which 'D' replied "No, but she'd like to!!!"

So... just past 7 and I am doing OK... had my 4th shake, and no mousse today for a change. Headache has stayed away, which is good, and stress levels have receded too, had laptop problems earlier and thought I'd lost my whole day's work but yay... recovered it. Phew! A strange day but had a lovely late Xmas prezzie arrive as well and that kept a smile on my face, aww.

Hope you are all having a lovely evening... unofficial WI for me in the morning.

[Greeneyes11]

Well done on today Katy, glad you managed to save your work, and have fun with your Christmas prezzie..... all I have got to look forward to is some ink cartridges..... ha ha. Oh yeah actually DH is going to buy me a little something everytime I lose 7lb and as from tomorrow (fingers crossed) I will have lost 7lb, but I dont get it until after WI on Monday, I guess I could blow it all again at the weekend.

 

[Katycakes]

Deal, Chelsea... didn't realize that! I don't rate my chances of winning the race, but happy to limp along behind, lol! Seriously, that broccoli was just yelling, 'take me, take me, I am young, green and innocent... I mean you no harm...' Fred and his many guises.

Hi Lelly, I am ready to watch too... enjoy!

Hey Katy
Your doing fab.. Day 7 go girl!!!
I havent been back on the mooses yet but oh how I used to love them.. Im tired and Im typing all back to front!!!
Well done for another fab day hon x

 

[LellyCD]

Morning Katy, Hope you enjoyed the prog, i found myself shouting at the tv quite a bit, not sure what they proved exactly though, seemed everybody was still alive n kicking at the end!
Hope you have a terrific Thrusday hun
xx

 

[Katycakes]

Thanks Shanny, Chelsea, Curly & Lelly! That Crash Diet prog is kind of annoying, wish they'd do it 'properly' and not as if we are all stupid, and not fill it up with half-baked pseudo science that doesn't add up. And no more toilet shots, please! Glad LL came out OK, anyhow.

Today is unofficial WI, and scales said... 12 st 6. YAY!!! A whole lb down from last week. I am genuinely glad because I thought I'd get a STS and would have had to take it on the chin after the blips last thurs & fri evenings. A whole week to repair the damage... sigh. My aim is to shift more than 1lb this week, even if I have to chop off a limb... OK, maybe won't go that far, but will up the exercise and hope that when elusive totm starts some water weight will go too.

Headache back again this morning, still over one eye in migraine style, and worse than yesterday, but have again taken paracetamol and hoping for the best. Had a porridge for brekky with cinnamon sprinkled on top, lovely. Hoping for a good work day.

Wishing everyone a calm, cool and focused Thursday...

[LellyCD]

Great news on the 1lb drop hun! well done for keeping on
Hope totm arrives soon and gets shot of that headache

Hi KC --

I agree with you: I was glad to see that LL was presented a lot more fairly than CD was.

But, I think they should have shown the "tools" and books, and discussed the therapy that is included with LL (for the 66 pounds a week). I am still using my LL pedometer, exercise ball, fitness band, and will use the DVDs and review the books. I had a very good counsellor and had I followed her advice and worked through management after Foundation... I probably would not be back "at it" using to CD to take off the 2.5 stone of 5 I regained. (Note: I had a friend that had a useless LL counsellor, but mine was brill... she did the programme the way it is supposed to be done.)

I hope you have a wonderul Thursday... and I "only" lost two pounds this week, and one the week before -- but slow and steady was the tortoise and he won that race!!!

@Curly... the mix-a-mousse is the best thing ever. I have no idea why LL has not come out their version. I also love the Choc Mint and Choc Orange shakes CD has. Yummmm.

Thanks Lelly & Mel. Having a hungry and headachy day, but will not be blown off course the way I was last week. Not an option. I am definitely a tortoise this time Mel, but determined all the same... just wondering who has been messing with my clocks because it CAN'T be only 10.15... sigh! Dog walk for diversionary tactics may be called for.
