Goooooooood morning minis, hows everyone doing??

I survived my first 40hour week in 18months and now have 4 lovely days off. I'm going to do some cleaning and then sit down and plan this diet. I lost another 1lb this week which i'm please about, esp since i'm not really trying.

I've found my bike, i love the colour but i'm not sure i want to stand out that much but i'm not sure i can pass up the opportunity to have a pink bike

Right best go do something constructive!

Morning bestie!

Well done on the pound off chic!! Who's a clever girl then? Xx

I do like the bike...its the best out of all the ones you've shown us. And the colour is just beautiful! Showed it to gorgeous hubby and he said you definately DO want to stand out for safety reasons and he's got a point. You do need to be seen by other road users...and that bikes PERFECT for that! Sod anyone who looks at u for the wrong reasons...you will have zoomed past them in seconds anyway!
If u like it, and its in your price bracket, and its from a reputable place...GET IT! You've waited a long time and you deserve something nice hunni xxx
Have a good day xxx

Thats a good point and hubbs is of the same mind because he won't let me get a black one. But he is going to buy me this

I wanted an open face one but he's not having it, so bloody protective, you'd think i'd never been on the road before. It is pretty though and it matches the bike, he knows me too well. My gloves arrived today and so did my waterproof trousers but they don't fit and they are the biggest but hopefully by winter i'll have lost enough to get in them. I'm just waiting for the license to come back now, i don't want to buy it and then have it sit around for a month because you need the CBT to get insurance and you can't register it before you've got insurance, Hopefully it will be back next week.

Gorgeous helmet bestie...and I think hubbs is right to insist on a full face one. When I used to go out with a lad who had a motorbike, I had a full face helmet, and underneath it I wore a balaclava. Lovely and cosy xx
And so you have a great incentive now to lose a pound or 2 by winter time so those waterproofs fit nicely.

So what else have you been up to hun? Enjoying your days off I should think!! xx

Oh hello you are back

Morning Minis,
How was everyones weekend?
Mine was pretty uneventful, actually i've felt really down the last couple of days and its been a few weeks since that has last happened. I know i've had nightmares the last couple of nights but i can't remember them so maybe that's why i'm feeling a little off. A friend has also announced her pregnancy over the weekend, she doesn't seem especially please or excited which somehow makes me feel even worse.
Diet wise i'm still a little unsure of where i am or what i'm doing, i really want to try my own thing (which i guess is essentially calorie counting) but i'm worried that it won't work and i'll have wasted the time. What's quite funny is that in the last 2 weeks off umming and arrghhing about it, i've wasted the time anyway (got to love my logic)
Today i've woken up with a stinking cold but feel like i'm on fire so today will be spent laying on the sofa with the fan on playing angry birds, might go for a bike ride this evening when its cooled down a bit.
I'll leave you with a picture of pure innocence

 

[skinnydawn]

Aww...bless that little bunny heart! :heartpump::heartpump::heartpump: You have a little beauty there Bestie xx

I don't think you've wasted the last couple of weeks hun. You've been thinking about alot of stuff...money, bike, diet etc so there's been all sorts going on inside your head. If you want to try calorie counting then go for it! It does give you quite a bit of freedom to still have what you want and lose weight at the same time. As you know, I'm a proper SW girl now and I will always stick by it, but that doesn't mean I don't think other diets work. Why not try it for a week or two and see what you think? :cross:

Hope you feel better soon hunni xxx

Went to the dentist today for the first time in a decade and the result is i need 4 fillings, 1 wisedom tooth out and a mouth guard because apparently i grind my teeth, going to cost me a bleeding fortune, stoopid teeth!
Back to work tomorrow but going to see a movie in the evening. Hopefully purchasing the bike on friday EXCITING. But still haven't had my license back, can't work out if its actually been a long time or if it just feels like it because i need it!

 

[skinnydawn]

Oh poor Bestie!!!

Nasty old dentist!!! That's really horrible hunni But I suppose it's to be expected in a way as you haven't been for a while. We're going in August ...

I think I'm almost as excited as you about this lovely new bike! arty0019:

Have a good day at work tomorrow xxx

 

[skinnydawn]

Hi bestie!

How's things? Xxx

 

[.Nicki.]

wow its been a while since i've been on and i don't have much to report. Tooth is coming out next monday :cry:and i ordered my bike which should be here soon (need to phone and book the delivery) but my license still isn't back so its going into storage behind in laws house so at least its secure and under cover.
Today i'm sorting out my room as i've decided to move into the spare room, i just need my own space, you know thats just mine. Not sure how its going to work yet to be honest, i need something but i'm not sure what that is. Diet is still non exsistent, nothing new there!

 

[skinnydawn]

Hi bestie,

I'm sorry things are a bit mixed up for you atm You know where I am if u want to talk xx

Bad luck about the tooth sweetie, but at least when its gone it can't cause u any more probs. I had a couple of wisdom teeth out last year and I'm so glad they're gone! Really don't miss the pain they were giving me!! Xx

 

[.Nicki.]

My week has consisted of work, arguments, panic attacks, arguments, moving to my own room, arguments, sick days. As it stands we are in seperate bedrooms on somewhat friendly terms but usually ends in an argument, officially we've not split but i can't say we are together. I had a panic attack at work yesterday and literally ran out of work and there was no way i was getting there today, i'm a wreck which is usually what happens when i'm stressed. On the plus side i'm not hungry anymore.

 

[skinnydawn]

So sorry about what's been happenin bestie

Are your panic attacks related to your home situation? You have to talk to hubbs hunni...you can't go on like this for too long xx

 

[.Nicki.]

Thanks guys, we've spoke a little today and it seems the last few months seem to have taken there toll on both of us and we need a little space. We're both sleeping better now we're in seperate rooms and i've spent most of the day up here sorting all my stuff out and now i'm watching a DVD while he gets the remote downstairs, which doesn't happen alot. This room is nice and cool all day too because it doesn't get any sun till late afternoon. He went out last night with some work friends and I made an effort to make sure i didn't moan and didn't text him, wasn't that hard as i was asleep by 9pm. Think it was inevitable, we've had 8 years of being around each other, only really seeing each other, watching tv (where i control the remote) Hopefully having the bike will help with the independence side of things. Just feel really sad, not that many people no whats going on, i just feel a little lonely i guess.

 

[skinnydawn]

Aww...I'm sitting right next to you hun, giving you a great big :hug99:

I really don't know what to say

I think you're probably right, and that the constant run of recent bad luck has affected your relationship. You've both had such a lot of stress and upset to cope with, and if this is how you feel best able to come to terms with it all then that's fine. Might even do you both good to have your own space.

Take care sweetie xx

 

[skinnydawn]

Hi bestie xx

You ok? Xxx

 

[.Nicki.]

Hey Bestie, i'm getting there.

Recovering for the trauma of the dentist yesterday and good grief it was tramatic, the dentist said it was one of the hardest extractions she's done, because it had grown sideways, it stopped me opening my mouth all the way which obviously not very helpful and she couldn't get to it. Basically ended up with the dentist with all her weight on my face, the nurse trying to calm me down because i was panicing and hubby being brave as i dug my nails into his hand, this went on for about 10 mins before it came out minus one root! The roots had hooks which is another reason it was hard to get out. So i came out of there with cuts all over my bottom lips where she pushed it into my teeth, a split in the corner of my mouth and ripped jaw muscles where she forced my mouth open too far, if i ever need a tooth out again i'm being sedated i'm never going through that again.
Home wise things are better, think he's a bit jealous of my room because its always so lovely and cool and because the cat never goes in there i can have the window open. We have dinner together and then i go upstairs and watch a dvd and fall asleep. Bit awkward at times but we're adjusting.
Put on 4lbs since last weigh in a few weeks ago, need to get back in the zone

 

[skinnydawn]

OMG u poor thing! I bet you're black and blue now! I'm really sorry it was so horrible for you Did the dentist take xrays first to see where the roots were?

I had 2 bad extractions myself so I really sympathise with you. The first was at my dentist, took nearly an hour, and then resulted in pulling out part of my jaw bone attached to the roots. The second was at a dental surgery as it was a wisdom tooth...that one took an hour and had to be drilled out bit by bit and then stitched...I looked like a hamster with full cheek pouches lol!

Still, its gone now bestie and u need to take it easy for a while xx

 

[PurpleRoses]

aww you poor thing nicki!! and you Dawn god that sounds painful! i had a bad extraction once too hence my fear of dentists!

be sure to take it easy today. xx
