My Road To Slim City

[skinnydawn]

Um I wish I could reassure you Dawn but I have been shocked at how she has been as I don't ever remember any of my other dogs being like this! So there is some reassurance for you... Not all dogs are like this

That's a real shame for you all. Is there no improvement at all? I take it your sister hasn't got any words of wisdom that might resolve the problem?

She is as good as gold during the day... Completely dry indoors and goes outside to the loo every time, she hasn't chewed anything (yet!) and she is just realy placid but night time is a NIGHTMARE! My sister has told me to just leave her and it should only last 3-4 nights well tonight is the 5th night and she still howled constantly last night so I can't see it changing tonight. I am trying not to give in but when she wakes all 3 of the boys and us it is so difficult as the children need there sleep especially when my youngest has school today I am hoping that it is just a matter of time but at the moment I am so tired I could cry!

 

[skinnydawn]

Oh bless ya atback: Bit of a nightmare then xx I suppose it's just a case of riding it out but that's easier said than done, especially when you have little ones. Let's hope tonight's the night she gives up and sleeps instead. I must admit it something I'm REALLY not looking forward to when we get ours

with this post in mind, just so nobody thinks i have a filthy mind. An innocent conversation Charlie was just having with her toy bunny....

Charlie 'sorry about tying you up'
bunnie 'its okay its just a game' 'whats the game called'
Charlie 'swinging'
bunnie 'I like swinging'
Charlie 'good cos so do I'

Let's just clarify this. Jackies alter ego is Bunnie and Charlie was her clinet not her daughter

:8855: i was laughing till I cried. Basically it was a game where bunnie got tied to the treadmill by its ears and Charlie then made bunnie swing backwards and forwards.

It was just so funny :8855: :8855:

I'm just glad the treadmills getting used. I'm off to find a cuddly toy to tie on the exercise bike. Whoops I've just looked at it and there's already a toy monkey "swinging" from the handlebars :8855:

Hahahahaha Jackie's alter ego! I love it All I am saying is bunnie/rabbit hmmm now which rabbit have all of us girls heard about

Well I am absolutely KNACKER*D!!! Just been to the gym for 2 hrs and I pushed myself to the limit! I met a really nice woman in there who is my age and I saw her there when I went on Friday night and we started talking tonight. I am going to see her at the gym again on Friday night and we have decided between us that we will both go to Zumba next week as we both wanted to go but didn't want to go alone which is great now I have a training partner yippee!

I have a feeling that I will be aching in the next day or two because I worked harder than I ever have done in the gym even harder than I did with the personal trainer! I ran at 7mph for 4 minutes straight and then slowed down to 5.5 for another 5 minutes then did a fast walk with an steep incline... but all in all I was there for 2 hrs and only had a break to have a drink for a few seconds at a time

I wouldn't have been able to talk to someone if I was exercising.

You are doing brilliantly. I am in a different league to you when it comes to exercise. A stroll with the dogs and a bit of step and hula hoop on the wii and I need to lie down with a cold cloth on my head

Glad Daisy was better last night. I'll keep my fingers crossed that she's picked up on the fact that the howling's getting her no where and she'll just keep quiet now

 

[Maximus]

Well fancy that... all of you turning the guilt trip on me when I have been feeling so unwell boo hoo hoo

Oh here is a quick photo of Daisy and one of me with my new 1stone certificate

Well done 'Shell

How come you got a certificate for a stone? - all I get is stickers! Only certificate we get is for SOTW or SOTM. Though the target one is awesome as is the target member badge too.

Haha - something for you to aspire to there lady.

Well done on the stone though. |Hopefully you understand only the awesome lose rapidy (sorry, I couldn't resist) but more importantly, you are (hopefully) learning lessons for life.

Do you like seafood Michelle?

If you do, and fancy it/can afford it (I know it ain't cheap) try a week on Original plan with winkles, cockles, mussels, crab, prawns, scallops, crabsticks, whelks etc. I used to make awesome seafood salads.

I mention this as they used to give me a hulluva weight-loss "boost" or kick, from time-to-time. (if you get stuck).

Well done my protegé

 

[JackieN]

Hi Michelle,
SO glad Daisy is improving slightly. Well done on persevering. I'll pop some stamps on Carla's bottom and pop her in the post to you. Feel free to 'return to sender' once shes suitably trained

Please be warneds shes scared of wheelie bins, plastic bags, ants, umbrellas, her own shadow :8855:

Glad you are managing to stick to plan and good luck at WI tomorrow sweetie xxxxx

 

[tillymax]

How was Daisy last night. Hope you managed to get a bit more sleep

 

[tillymax]

I forgot this earlier -

Good luck for weigh in

 

[JackieN]

oooo Michelle I forgot it was WI today. goodluck sweetie and hope you have trained Daisy now when did you say I could send Carla? I distinctly seem to remember you mentioning it xxxxxxxxxx

Evening 'Shell

I gained a shocking 4lb this week - I assumed all would be ok. Just goes to show even target-wallers can get it wrong and the need to write it all down and never, ever become compacent.

I'm determined to get it sorted though - fortunately, I'm right on the cusp of having to pay again - one more pound would have been disaster lol.

Forget the health aspect, we're talking pounds, shillings and pence here lol.

Steve

 

[JackieN]

Michelle - I want to know how you got on at your WI where are you?????

 

[Mini Mum]

Evening All,

well I have just got back from wi and I lost 1 1/2 lbs this week So that is 15 1/2lb in 5 weeks since starting sw but that equals 22 1/2lb in total since I started ww and then sw

Today I decided to go for a bike ride with my children and we left our house to go and join up with the cycle trail which is about a mile away from our doorstep... We joined the cycle trail and before I knew it we had gone 4 1/2 miles and I suddenly thought "Oh sh*t we have to go back now!" and it is all uphill on the way back! We cycled 9.3 miles so my sons gadget on his bike says I am now walking like John Wayne and am sunburnt and look like a lobster.

More good news is I got a full 9 hrs sleep last night and Daisy didn't cry once yayyyy she has got it!

Jackie you can keep Carla. Thanks for the offer anyway but I am sure she would be much happier at home

Steve thats unlike you to have such a gain! It will probably give you the kick up the backside that you need again though. Just read through your books again and if you have any of the sw magazines look through them and read the stories and I am sure you can get inspiration from them. If not read back through your own diary and read when you were doing really well and look at what you were eating then... You can do it Steve as you already have x x

Oh another piece of news that I forgot to say... I am now under 200lbs which I haven't been for about 6 years woo hoo

 

[tillymax]

Well done you little genius

Oh and I'm glad the dog slept

 

[ginlin]

Well done, absolutely fab, plus the dog sleeping, definately a good day

 

[JackieN]

Sounds like a good day fantastic news. Well done on the loss and under 200lb (a pipe dream) and Daisy slept.. you sure you don't want to train Carla for me?

xxxxx

 

[skinnydawn]

Oh well done Michelle!!!

Very pleased you got a good nights sleep last night too! xx
