Last Half a Stone Challenge! any takers?!

ooooooo yes, good luck for weigh in Tara. Its abit cold today so unfortunately I am wearing a jumper for my weigh in - i usually try to wear as little as poss! lol

Anyway, taking little one to nursery and then its my day off all to myself:D Going to have my hair done (only a trim) and then back home to give the house a real spring clean - its in such a state and its making me depressed! just been too busy to get everything done this week. Going to get mtv on loud and jump around the house with my duster:D

Chat later xx
 
Hi Tara

Lost 1 1/2 lbs so pleased with that. The annoying thing is though that my scales showed that i'd lost 3lbs and they are usually exactly the same as my cdcs so not sure what happened there!? Perhaps it will show next week. 5lbs to go - woo hoo! Thinking maybe i will try for 9 stone now - lol, i'm not sure when i will look right! Its hard to judge for yourself isnt it?

I saw a friend i hadnt seen for about 4 months today in the hairdressers and she said "wow! you've lost weight, i am really impressed, you look great!" :D It's so nice when you get comments like that isnt it?

Bought loads of cleaning products so need to get up and get going but i feel knackered now! Just had my first shake - a hot vanilla one, it was really nice. Got more tetras this week and less bars as i'm going to try them frozen. Also going on to the 1000 plan properly so that should be better. -ooooo i might have a potato later:D

Good luck for your weigh in Tara - let us know as soon as you get back xx
 
Hi Jodie,
What fab comment from your friend bet your still on a high from it and you should be so very pleased with yourself babe.
I know what you mean it is very hard to judge for yourself, will we ever be totally happy? lol

Well cdc scales show a 2lb loss wooo hoooo chuffed to bits seeing as done the 1000plan!!
so am now starting the 1200 plan eekkk!!
Oh and Jodie take a look at our tickers, we are at the same point both 5lb to go!!!!!!
 
That is great Tara! Wow, 2lbs! So you are already on the 1200 you lucky thing!

He he - both have 5lbs to lose!!!

Only cleaned the kitchen so far and that took me bloody ages! Going to tackle the lounge now before i collect ds from nursery.

Well done Tara ....not far to go now...
 
Evening Tara

Had my dinner abit early tonight coz i was quite hungry. Had the most peculiar combination again! Tofu, sprouts and couscous! I've never had tofu before - what strange stuff! i dont think i'll be having that particular meal again:D

Still got 50cals worth of fruit to have although i might go over abit and have a banana. Then instead of a bar i may attempt a frozen chocolate tetra - i can hardly bear the excitement of it all on a friday night!:D

What did you have for dinner tonight Tara?

How were your scales compared to your cdcs? I had this vision of you walking around town carrying your scales looking like a right nutter:D lol

Boob talk - 34 C sounds good to me. I started at a 38 C and god knows what i am now. I reckon a 34AA if I'm lucky! They've just disappeared:cry: May have to find some of those chicken fillet things to stuff down my bra - lol
 
Evening Jodie,
Blimey kids have a better social life than me! youngest (10) dd has gone to a school disco tonight 7-9pm!
For my tea i have just had a nice dinner, chicken with tangytomatoes,and instead of mash i had some couscous, it was yum again it was out of the cd book, have been impressed have liked all the dinners that i have tryed so far.
my scales are roughly the same as cdc scales about a lb diffrence,lol i did feel a right nutter but did have them hidden in a carry bag!!!
Lol loud jodie chicken fillets, really thought mine were going to be sized a lot smaller than they have been, but one of the bras i got is one of those gel filled bras, and the other bra is a bit padded!
 
you are doing well with your dinners, sound yum.

I had that banana and now i've had a frozen tetra so all done for the day! Hope i dont miss my bar in bed too much tonight! Wasnt that impressed with the frozen tetra to be honest, not nearly as good as i thought it was going to be. Didnt taste that chocolately either. Think i prefer them hot.

Gum is hurting abit so will probably take a couple of painkillers and then last dose of antibiotics around 9ish.

Feeling really tired so will go to bed when my little one does at 9pm. (yes, believe it or not he doesnt go to bed until then:mad:)

xx
 
I havent had a banana today sooo need to go shopping,normally go friday night as its nice in sainsburys at this time of night but cant be botherd tonight!!, so have had 3 plums insted mmmm yum.
I actually like the choc tetra better frozen, tryed it hot once and wasnt that keen!!

oooo hun i lived on painkillers last week with my mouth, really hope yours starts to feel better very soon babe.
Sounds like a good plan going to bed when you ds goes to bed, cor he stays up late bless him
Think i might try and have an early night tonight aswell, i didnt sleep very well last night mind you my dd is due home just after 9 from her school disco so she going to be hyped up when she gets in !!lol
 
Morning Tara

Hope your dd had a good time at the school disco. My friend has 3 children (almost all the same ages as yours!) and she says that when she waits for them after school discos she always feels old! She says it only seems like yesterday that it was us at those discos:D

Last night was okay but ended up going to bed around 8.30pm to watch a bit of TV with ds. Around ten minutes later he said he was really hungry and so i had to make him toast with lemon curd - torture!!!!! He was nibbling away in bed and then suddenly fell asleep! The toast was really difficult to resist (especially since he left half of it!) so I had to have an apple. I was desperate! BUT an apple is better than alot of other things so i'm not going to beat myself up about it.

Just had a coffee with full fat milk again:mad: Cant seem to get out of that habit now! Only having one a day though so hopefully isnt doing too much harm.

Well, today i am taking ds to dancing class this morning at 9.15am - i'll be allowed to join in again so got my tap shoes packed ready:D You're only allowed to go to 3 classes and then you're supposed to leave your child by themselves. He is the youngest by far and i'm not sure whether he will let me leave next week - will have to see.

After class we will pop and see my Mum and Star. Then maybe a quick trip to the town. Then back home to finish the housework upstairs (finished downstairs yesterday).

What are your plans hun?
xxxx
 
Morning Jodie,
Yep standing at the school gates deffo makes you feel old,and it does make you feel like it was only ysterday that we were getting ready to go to the school disco!. but i was lucky yesterday that dd went with a friend and the friends mum took them and picked them up.
oooo lemon curd on toast mmmmmm yum not had that in such a long time how on earth did you resist that one!!! but yes an apple is so much better hun
Surely one coffe like that isnt going to hurt you that much babe,
Did you enjoy joining in with the tap class last week?, am sure he will be fine next wk when you leave him,he'll be having fun and befor he knows it you will be back to pick him up!!
will be catching up on housework as didnt do a lot yesterday, and will also be popping in to town snakes have a habbit of needing to be fed once a week!so need to get there food, oh and will most deffinatly be watching the Rugby aswell today, so i better get my butt into gear!! or mowt will get done and just rugby will be watched!!! now that sounds a better plan!! lol
xxx
 
Busy day for you today babe! Make sure to have a relax while the rugby is on!

you have snakes as well?!! wow you do have alot of people/animals to look after! lol

Do you have to feed the snakes live crickets or something? or have i got it completely wrong!!?
 
yep will be glued to the rugby!!! lol
as for the snakes they are the least hassle out of everyone/animal lol, so easy to look after and best of all only need feeding once a week!!, nah babe they not eat crickets, this will goss you probally as it does most ppl!!, but they eat mice! at mo they on the second from smallest size that can be got lol yes they do come in diffrent sizes !!! lol
 
Mice? oh yea thats right. Do they have to be live ones? Not sure i could feed a live one to a snake but i suppose you get used to it. Are they big snakes? I've held a few pythons before (lol, sounds abit ominous!:D). Once I was in this pub in London and this bloke just turned around and handed me his python (this is sounding worse! lol) and it curled up on my lap! It was all lovely and warm!

Your kittens have really got me thinking about getting another one again. Saw Star this morning at my Mums. Not sure whether to suggest to my Mum that I have Star back and get her another cat or to get a new one for me! Feel abit guilty getting a new one when Star is still around as it were! That probably sounds stupid.

What do you do when you go on holiday?! Does someone move in and look after all of your animals?

Anyway, dancing was abit disastrous today. Zack got tired and wanted to go home half way through! Popped to my Mums and now back home for abit. My DH is going into work abit later today so rare chance for ds to spend some time with him which is nice.

Havent even started the water yet, how awful is that?! Cant summon up the energy. Feeling really tired, antibiotics dont usually make you feel tired do they? Had an apple, a hot banana tetra and some coke zero so far today.

Hows it going your end?
 
pmsl,jodie really had to have a giggle about the pythons!!! lol, the 2 snakes i have are corn snakes so aernt going to get no where near as big as a python, my 2 will only get about 4ft and are the best you could get and believe me they are so easy to look after, as for feeding them mice, they only get fed dead mice,that you can buy from our local pet shop,the size we buy are 50p each as are still baby mice,nextstage up from newborn mice!!!
If you want a cat why dont you get yourself another one babe,dont feel guilty about star,should think she gets spoilt rotten with your mum and she is good company for mum.
What with a family of 5 and h2b on a low wage we dont really have a family holiday,but kids dont miss out as whilst i were a single mum, my mum started taking them away for a week each summer holiday!! and its something she has continued to do each year,so at least we dont have to worry about cats and snakes!!
I have only had about a ltr water and 2 coffee's so far and its now 3.15!!! better get a move on with glugging the water!
Bet you son has enjoyed spending some time with his dad,maybe the 3 of you are off doing something nice as i am typing this?!!
 
Morning!!!!!

Luckily got a lie in till 8am this morning as ds was pretty tired. He didnt go to sleep until 10pm last night!!! God, it was a nitemare. He was really playing up. He just doesnt get tired and its really hard to wind him down. Baths, stories etc just dont seem to have any effect! Think I might get him a little CD player for christmas and then perhaps he'll go to bed with some stories.

Anyway, not a great day food wise yesterday. Had extra grapes and 2 coffees with a splash of full fat milk! I find it much harder to stick to now that i am eating more. Not in the way that I am tempted to cheat with bigger portions or naughty foods, just the odd extra bit of fruit here and there. I suppose I will still lose the weight like that, it will just take abit longer.

Had a lovely dinner last night. It was so nice because I made the exactly the same for myself and ds and we ate together - something we haven't done since i started cd. We had sea bass, new potatoes and peas. Ds had some sweetcorn as well. It was really yummy but felt so strange eating peas and potatoes!!!!:D

DH has a day off today ( i think) so we will busy getting jobs done around the house and just chilling abit i hope.

Hope you have a nice day Tara, whatever you are up to xxxx
