No snow here!:cry: would make me a bit happier than all this miserable rain! didn't even get to take the kids sledging this year!:cry: i do hope i'll get the weight i gained off again by Sunday. Had a sneaky peek this morning, and had gained 3lbs! :scale: in 2 days! bit disheartening when it seems to take a whole good week of good food choices and lots of exercise to shift 2lbs, yet 3lbs can go on in 2 days. it's so unfair. the sooner the kids finish their chocolate the better, that's all i can say.:17729:

Think the snow is off now and it was all a bit sloppy anyway, more nuisance than nice. Sneaky peeks are bad. But I can't really lecture you about them as I'm a bit guilty myself. Tis very disheartening that it goes on so easily yet we have to really battle to get it to come off. So unfair.

SO when I hear of a mother being done for cruelty for force feeding her kids their chocolate I'll know who they're on about HUH. I'm a bit the same. I can resist everything but temptation. :D

You're doing grand though and will soon see it shifting in the right direction again. :D
 
:8855: that did make me laugh! Kimberly's finished her chocs now, but Kyle likes to take his time (much like daddy)! i have decided i'm going on strike! my washing machines just about given up! and there's no point in cleaning and tidying a house with 2 children who can make mess faster than i can clean it!

Oh no - can the WM be rescued or is it off to the great WM graveyard. I don't envy you coping with kids OH and You and no WM. AAARGH. If you tie them down while you force feed the choccy they'll make less mess. :)

:8855::8855::8855: that's an idea :sign0151: unfortunately i think WM will be off to its grave! i think the motor's knackered, and it started smoking earlier. last time this happened my old WM was under warrentee, so got a new one free. this time it's not :(
 
looks like my WM can be fixed!:bliss:so not £200-£300 for a new WM, not even £100-£150 for a new motor, but a mere £14 for some carbon brushes, now ordered, which will :fingerscrossed: do the job! i have been doing so badly with food and exercise since sunday. kids choccies now gone, so there's no more of that kind of temptation, but have been eating mountains of cereal with milk, endless nibbles of cheese etc. and seem to have got into a habit of binge til you're full then skip meals! i need to seriously get my ar$e in gear! and stick to my menus!

This morning i have had: 2 wholemeal bread (HEB), margarine (2 syns) & a banana (SF)
i want to get on and do my exercises shortly, so i know i have done them!
lunch will be: tomato 'n' herb pasta 'n' sauce (free), salad (SF), orange, apple & pear (SF)
dinner: fish (free), potatoes (free), green beans & broccoli (SF)
and today i must remember to drink more!

Yeay to the cheap repair - what a diff £14 v 200-300 Excellent the choccie is gone. Now you've just got to get past the other temptations. Easier said than done but I know you can do it. :)

Your menu sounds good, now all you gotta do is stick to it. :) Hope you have a good day. :)
 
so far so good today. stuck to my brekkie & lunch choices! and did zumba on the wii and 30 mins wii fit :greenapple: need to get the lbs shifting again! next challenge - town with 2kids and possibility of reduced easter choccies - must resist!
 
Hello lovely LMC....:eek: I had forgotten what kids were like and how much temptation there is ....either Kirsty moves out soon after baby is born or I do :giggle:

Hope you're having a good shopping day, good news about the WM :fingerscrossed:...oh and finally NO MORE EGGS they only end up on your hips anyway :giggle:

Have fun :hug99: xxxx
 
phew! survived yesterday's shopping spree with only 1 dinky doughnut! (my sis-in-law offered - at least it was only 1 i had, and not a whole bag full, so that was my syns yesterday). i think i'm counting an hours worth of walking backwards and forwards from kitchen to garden with 5 litre full watering cans as extra BM yesterday! i was shattered. could've slept longer this morning, but never got the chance. WM motor all sorted, and runs smoothly. The only problem is the drum bearings are knackered, and that's something my OH can't sort! so washing machine hunting tomorrow after all. thankfully my mum-in-law is paying! otherwise i might have had to ask her to do my washing for a month until i could afford a new machine!
woken up this morning with a cough, and a splitting headache:(but i'm not going anywhere today!but he kids are off this morning for an hour, so peace for a bit, and no more temptation. have already made up my salad for lunch too :angel09:

so plan for today:
breakfast: 2 weetabix (HEB), milk (HEA)
lunch: chicken salad (free & SF) with cheese (6.5 syns) and baked potato (free)
dinner: chicken kiev (7 syns), savoury rice (1 syn), mountains of SF veg
Syns: 13.5
minimum exercise: 20 mins zumba, 30 mins wii fit, 10 mins weights
 
seem to be feeling a bit better now, although still got a headache! hope it's not one of those 'morning' colds! haven't done my BM yet (unless i can count my cleaning & hoovering - it was more than normal!). was going to try a bit of zumba or wii fit after kids in bed, and see how it goes.

Hope you feel 100% today. I count my tidying so your cleaning and hoovering deffo count. Maybe you should take it a bit easy till you're completely better. :)
 
:woohoo: lost 1lb this week! don't know how, as was completly undeserved, but I'm really chuffed with that! now back on the straight & narrow, as best as i can. no more choccies to tempt me at home, and finally kids back to school. got my new washing machine! and wow, it's quiet! and yay, the sun is even shining!:D:D:D so happy all the way. monday morning = tidying and cleaning day, so that will have to be my BM today, as have to take kids to speech therapy later.

Today's food: 2 cereal bars (HEB), 2 yoghurts (6 syns), grapes (SF)
Lunch: salad (SF), with chicken (free) and cheese (HEA), crisps (5 syns), 2 satsumas (SF) & an apple (SF)
Dinner: chilli con carne (free) & rice (free), fruit salad (SF)

There's a hedgehog in my garden! seems odd for him to be out at lunchtime, so will keep an eye on him.

Maybe he's just come out of hibernation and is a tad peckish. :) I think they are so cute though.

me too! i think he smelt the potatoes we planted yesterday, as that's where he was hanging about :giggle: He's gone now, so must be fine!
 
Having avoided my own diary like the plague yesterday, i thought i'd better actually get back on here. Yesterday was not a good day for me. just very weepy, spent half the day crying. couldn't even listen to music without it setting me off. why? because my head will not stop thinking, and let me get on with my life. so having decided everything upsets me anyway, the kids (making me feel like a bad parent), myself (the way i look, feel and the pain i had in my back yesterday preventing me from getting on), my sister in law (the wedding, the fact that my husbands going to be on the top table at the reception, but me, as his devoted wife, has to sit somewhere else! the fact i could only buy flip flops to wear as my feet are too fat for normal shoes, the fact i can't find a cardigan to match my dress) etc etc.

so then i had a good think about me, and the size i am, and looked at where i was in October 2007 (12 stone & happy), and the fact i'd maintained that for a year, and then i had to think where did it all go wrong? what could i have done to have prevented myself gaining 10 stone in just over 3 years?! and i realised that i felt my world was collapsing around me. my father-in-law became significantly more ill, and was frequently in hospital every 2-3 weeks for 3-4 days at a time. My mother-in-law didn't like driving, and my sister-in-law had been made redundant, so it was left to my husband to transport them to and from hospital after work. There were many days i barely saw my husband, and felt very much like a single mum, even though i wasn't, and eventually that led to depression. the anti-depressants i was presribed made me numb. i couldn't make myself do anything, and home-cooked meals turned to convenience foods & treat foods (eg. desserts) became more regular. i went to an exercise class once a week. it made me feel better, but i never carried it on at home. and although i was aware i was getting bigger, and nothing fitted me, i found i just couldn't lose weight. i would lose 1/2 stone one week, and then over the next 2-3 weeks put 9lbs on, and so it seemed to continue, until i got to the end of last year, and thought i really have to do this. although i will keep plodding on and trying, there are days it's so difficult. yesterday i really could've done with someone there to snap me out of it as it were, and look at the bigger picture.

sorry for waffling on:eek:
