Anyway, taking little one to nursery and then its my day off all to myself
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

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!" 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
Good luck for your weigh in Tara - let us know as soon as you get back xx

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
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!
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 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)

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
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 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 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?

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!). 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!!!!
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
