Hi Girls :wavey:
Glad to hear you are both doing well.
Well went to WW today -weighed in and have gained 4lb
Normally I would be absolutely gutted at this, but I expected a gain going straight from 790 to WW, so I am totally fine with it. I've been sticking at the points so, hopefully there shouldn't be much more to go on, and then the tide will turn and I'll be back on a losing streak again
My sister weighed in at 13st 3lb (so she dropped 2lb from me weighing her last week) and she wants to get to around the 11st mark. She was very nervous about going in and getting on the scales as it was here first time ever at a slimming club. The thought of nervousness never occured to me as I'm quite a seasoned pro at the old diet club lark
Bless her, she was worried that she would be the biggest one there!!! ....of course she wasn't, not by a long chalk
I hope she will do well at this, for her self esteem. She is waiting for a scan on her throat/neck (end Apr) as the doctors think she has an enlarged thyroid and a growth on it as well. She has had loads of blood test, with nothing coming back to indicate under active thyroid function. Obviously this may have a bearing on her ability to lose weight - so I think if she can just lose something it will give her a boost. So fingers x-ed for her.
Well today me and hubby have been out to lunch at Nando's, then we went out into the countryside a bit and went looking for lambs - its a thing I love at this time of the year when all the little lambs are starting to appear all over the place. Glad to say we found some and they came right up to the edge of the field to us (with their respective Mums) they are just so inquisitive. They were bleating, skipping and running all over the place! So that made my day
We then went for a cream tea at this little tea rooms out in the middle of nowhere. Don't know how I've got the nerve to have a scone after my gains of this week :whoopass:, but I intend to relax things a little and have a treat on a Saturday after weigh in - and this was mine for this week. It was just nice to get out really and spend a bit of time with hubby, because in the week we don't get to spend a lot of time together - its just one big mad rush of working long hours, eating, sleeping.
Well tomorrow I've got my Dad coming for lunch, it's his birthday on Monday so I thought I'd have him over. We don't see each other that often and have quite a strained relationship - long story, but basically the fall out from Mom & Dad splitting when I was 6 (30 yrs ago nearly - blimey didn't realise it was so long ago) after Dad cheated on her. Dad has continually let me down since then. I made the decision (after councilling) about 10yrs ago to distance myself from him a little to make me happier - a harsh thing to do, but I couldn't keep letting the past affect my adult life (and relationships). I am now much more peaceful and happier because of it.
He
never contacts me, its always me or my sister contacting him - and over the years that has become quite a bone of contention for me
. In contrast, my Mom is absolutely wonderful -me, my sis and her have such a great relationship - and unfortunately for him, that relationship sets the benchmark.
Anyway, I haven't seen him since Xmas - so I thought it was time to do the daughterly thing and have him round again. It will be a roast dinner, and I'm making an apple upside down cake (WW recipe) for dessert. So it will be a normal pointing day for me.
Dawn - Glad to hear that the weight is going in the right direction. Hope you are up to full strength soon.
Nessie - Hope the decorating is going well - these jobs seem so easy when you think about starting them, then end up taking so much longer than you think dont they??
Still at least while you are busy in the bathroom you're not in the kitchen
Well given my gains this week, I think I may well withdraw from the 'get to goal by Easter challenge', being as I'm now 1lb heavier than when the challenge was set
- but I am still determined to stick at it - and I
will see that 10 stone mark!!
Anyway - hope you both have a lovely rest of the weekend. I doubt I'll be around tomorrow being at I'm entertaining for most of the day. My sis is coming round with the baby in the morning and we are going to work out an eating plan for the week for her, so she's got something to follow until she's into the groove with the points system. Then I'm popping to see my Mom as it's her b'day tomorrow (yes, her birthday 9th, Dad's b'day 10th, plus Mother's day last week - March is always an expensive month for me
) - Then of course I'm entertaining the old man!
Speak to you soon xx
