Ruthie's Weight Loss Journey - 3lb away from next stone bracket!

[rufusdoofus]

Morning chick how are you feeling today? xx

Hey, sorry taken me ages! I'm good at the moment. Got some excited things planned this week and when im occupied ww is even easier. Today me mum dad sister and brother in law are going to harvester. Joe got a new job, and we didn't do much for my 21st so it's a joint celebration meal. My mum hadn't been very well all summer, muscle pains etc but she has been put on steriods and can move about now so it's nice to go out and about with her! Have my food at harvester all planned out very excited. Man, you are just never deprived.

One meal I had yday which was SCRUMPTOUS. Chicken in white sauce tins - very high in points... 11 points per tin. But i shared with mum so 5.5. and then shared bag of rice for 2.5 each. And that isn't much for a meal. added some frozen veg and it was YUMMY! And the chicken in white sauce in M&S is a small tin for only 4 points. I'm telling you this stuff is YUMMY!

Anyhoo...today I have to the majority of my packing! try on all my clothes eeeek. heehee! it's actually quite exciting.

Thanks! sorry taken me so long to reply. nope it's not bad at all, not with the totm! Hoping for a good result this week! How are you doing? I leave for uni on sat and im really nervous! 4th year you'd think i'd have it down but I get so settled at home!

Oooh im all excited for you!!! What are you studying? Sure i've asked that before but i have a memory like a goldfish? Oh wait, who are you again? Just kidding lol.

I'm good thanks, felt really low yesterday, was very stressed and i'm still not well! Other than that im ok.

Gutted about the Chicken in White Sauce!!! I love that! Not had it since i have been on WW so never worked out the points! x

Heya! I'm studying criminology! hehe you're funny! Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you have been low and stressed. It's so hard to keep on top of food etc when you just feel rubbish. I hope you feel much better. I think sometimes it's almost better to count into your points a mcdonalds or some chocolate, instead of trying to be perfect, feeling rubbish and eating way too much!

4 points for chicken in white sauce tin isn't actually that bad though!? that's the M&S one. Be nice with some low point rice. I'm excited about my meals in my new flat!

What are you up to at the moment then? What is your job again? Again - i'm the same - sorry if I should already know this. Thank you for always replying and being there, it's been great

 

[rufusdoofus]

Things feel like they are going well. The TOTM still hasn't arrived would you believe, 4 days late, it just loves to be awkward!!! Oh well, I am still positive about this week!!

Harvester tonight, I chose wisely within my points but I know I went over a bit because I couldn't count the roll I had...and I had a few onion rings...oopsie. but it was such a nice evening out and I felt good. Going to have a light day tomorrow. I did all my packign today and so many clothes fit me that didn't use to! SO EXCITING!!!!

I'm still so nervous about living alone at uni. Good news, got my timetable and im only in mon, tues and thurs morn for 2 hours!! Days off and so should be able to manage work, and manual labour work at cinema! yipee! lol!

I'm more determined than ever to do this.

Ooooh that sounds sooo exciting!!! What's it about? Sorry lol i'm all intrigued now!!
Yeah it is so hard, dont really help myself though! Thanks, thought i was starting to feel a bit better yesterday but no chance! I think this is more than a cold.... or i am a bigger wimp than i first thought!

4 points for chicken in white sauce tin isn't actually that bad though!? that's the M&S one. Be nice with some low point rice. I'm excited about my meals in my new flat!

But see i would have gone for the first tin which was 11 points i think. I'd like to say it's cos i dont shop in M&S (which is very true) but also cos i'm a pig!!! Lol. Yeah and this is why im fat No i mean... i would have gone for the smaller one! Yes!

What are you up to at the moment then? What is your job again? Again - i'm the same - sorry if I should already know this. Thank you for always replying and being there, it's been great

Hehe yes Ruth you were meant to know!!! Nah joking hun I do admin work for the Army!!! I work with the Physical Training Instructors!! (Funny i know!) I really enjoy it. We deals with sports competitions and gyms and stuff like that.
Aaah no worries hun, right back atchya. That's what we're here for hey?

Thought while i am here, might aswell reply to this too! Lol. Dont you hate it when it doesnt come when you thought it would!! It normally does that for me when i have something planned and i am like ooh it should be done by then and then its not

I love Harvester!!! mmmm! Like someone said in another post, we all deserve a little treat now and then!! Aw so glad about the clothes!!! Gives you a huge boost doesnt it!!

I'm still so nervous about living alone at uni. Good news, got my timetable and im only in mon, tues and thurs morn for 2 hours!! Days off and so should be able to manage work, and manual labour work at cinema! yipee! lol!

Oooh thats a nice light schedule!

I'm more determined than ever to do this.

You do sound it chick!!! Fingers crossed for the next weigh in and keep it up! You are doing ever so well.

I promise to stop waffling on now!! Hehe. Have a good day! x

Wow, that was the longest and most exciting message I've ever got on here! LOL!

Oooo your job really sounds exciting! Hope you are feeling better today Criminology is basically about studying why crime occurs, who does it and why and a range of issues in prisons, police. It can be quite wide. I'm doing a module on Forensic Mental Health this year! It looks good.

Harvester last night was great although this mornign I woke up and had put on over a lb I was sooo upset. But after some *natural passing* and mid morning I was back to where I was before. Phew....I was sooooooooooooooo worried. I had enough points for most of what I ate, but I had another roll and some onion rings over my points. I think because I was eating later in the evening than normal might have made a difference.

Just had ww ocean pie. really nice!

 

[rufusdoofus]

Lost 1lb!!!!! YAY! And the totm still isn't here...what is going on?!

 

[Starlight]

Well done you, youre doing fab!!!

Aww, bless ya! Yeah, sounds like maybe it didnt digest properly and had to digest in the morning (i dont even know what im trying to say there but if you can figure it out well done lol) Maybe it sat heavy on your stomach in the evening. Thats what i mean .

Just had ww ocean pie. really nice!

Oooh yeah ive tried that! It's quite nice!

Well done on the loss! Brill, as always! x

So, I have arrived at university. Parents have gone, everything is unpacking, clean and neatly arranged. (i like things tidy hehe) and i have a cold and I just want to go to bed...but its 8.35..and i'm meant to be a student! lol! Not that I am the type to go out and get trollied, I'm more of a stay in watch a movie person...but I'm kinda bored. Now my bedroom is attached to my kitchen with no walls LOL! AHHH! I am determined though. Got some good stuff at supermarket today, am stocked up! hehe! Some loud music coming from somewhere, so shopping list for tomorrow includes earplugs. Just hope I can get some sleep with this cold.I nearly cried when my parents left and that's very unlike me...I just got closer to them this summer. I'm very nervous, I just hope that I can keep on the diet. My ww this week will be Thursday morning. *sigh*..am gonna try get some sleep, just feel so ill and had to get up at 5.30 this morning! lol.

 

[rufusdoofus]

It's 6.05 am and I can't sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took me forever to sleep with all the new noises, even my fridge made a funny noise in the night!! I just want to get up and on with my day! Already planned out my food. Am going into town for some bits and maybe see a friend who lives in the same halls as me. I'm rambling cos I am so tired but awake at the same time! AHHHH! lol.

 

[karra]

Hey hun good on you for being organised with your food its easy to get distracted with new things happening xx

 

[Karenlou]

Hope you settle in at uni ok hon x

 

[rufusdoofus]

Hey hun good on you for being organised with your food its easy to get distracted with new things happening xx

Thanks! Yeah, it's tough cos when I get out of bed the kitchen is looking at me...but the summer has been a good training. YAY!

Hope you settle in at uni ok hon x

Thank you! I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't a bit nervous as it being my 4th year and most of my friends graduated in some ways it's back to year 1. But I'm happy, that's all that matters!!

 

[rufusdoofus]

I HAVE A HORRIBLE COLD. But I actually slept last night...so that's an improvement.

I'm not doing anything today! I feel awful. Gotta plan out my food yippeee!

Another totm update (eww) It is still yet to start properly...it's like...it's there but it might as well not it's hardly anything. I just know I'm gonna lose at least a lb when it comes and i want it BEFORE THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol! Since i came off the pill my periods have been screwed up, but this is the worse so far. Maybe the stress hasn't helped! WHO KNOWS!!!

I am in a studio flat, but have the same size fridge/freezer as those sharing between 4/5 people. It's amazing...i can stock up for 3 months! there is just NO excuse...! lol. I can so do it this year!!!!!

Aaah hun, sorry to hear you arent feeling well with this cold! Think it's one going round the Minimins Board

Jealous!!! I want to be (at home) doing nothing Instead I'm doing nothing at work

Typing this in an email aswell so it doesn’t look like im not doing work as my bosses are in and out of the office today and I cant click it down and up as I forget easily

It's a right pain not having it isnt it. I had mine over the month and I had the worst pains ever, I was curled up on my bed crying my eyes out, couldn’t move at all.:cry:

Couldn’t stop eating either but I ate mostly fruit (excluding the flapjack, the big roast dinner with no veg, the chips and sauasage from the day before….) *AHEM* lol.

Hope your feeling better soon and you are all settled in Uni! xxxxxxxxx

 

[rufusdoofus]

It's here, yiipeeeeeee! Ok, sounding a BIT too excited. Finally can get on with this weight loss!!

Hey! Your message made me smile lol. Sorry that your totm was so traumatic. I have mine now and I was sooo happy and now that I have the pain i'm thinking that maybe that was a bit of an ott reaction lol! Doing nothing is not always the best, I'm kind of well, I wouldn't say lonely because I know that feeling but just a bit concerned and want everything up and running ; uni and work...routine. Feeling ill and not having energy to go out means I've sat here all day. It's just a scary experience, some of my friends worried I wouldn't cope by myself....I had lots of problems...and I'm desperate to be strong and organised...I feel good so far, it's just about keeping on top of it. And not hiding myself away in this flat. Got to do something, every day! I ramble lol. I know what I wanted to ask you, are you on facebook? I'm obv called Ruth and my surname is Heron...if you are on there!

Sorry I've rambled..feel a bit...I don't know...

How was your day today?

I'm doing surprisingly well point wise but not always needing to eat when I do.

Hope to hear from you soon! And thanks

 

[rufusdoofus]

Someone please tell me how other 'humans' can exist that will play music late at night knowing it will keep others awake. I can't take not being able to sleep. And so I'm eating. Because I have no other way to pass the time, am so tired, but the constant thumping means I'm irritated and annoyed. So again, can't sleep. ARRGGHH. Well, it is 12.03, so technically whatever I eat comes out of tomorrow's...today's...points. I just hate inconsiderate people. In year 1 of uni i lived next to a girl who was the same, and I was so tired and depressed i was sooo miserable, I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN. If this is how it's going to be, i'm devastated

Alright chick, me again!!!!
Thats understandable, i am the same when i cant sleep, especially when its the lads next door to me playing music loudly but its not very often thank god!!!!!
Thats a bit unfair of them isnt it, Do you know them? Could you ask them to turn it down abit? hehe you can tell i havent ever been to uni. The only other suggestion i have is..... ear plugs, ear muffs, soundproof walls, pillow over your ears.... All at once might keep it down a bit

Hope to hear from you soon! And thanks

Haha did it, thought you would have been getting fed up with my ramblings about now!!!!!

It's finished now thank god but that was the worst TOTM I have EVER had. It's never been that bad. Also, Yes, you shouldn’t be excited bout it hun!!! (see above post, or below post; I forget which I quoted first! Typical!)

Ahh bless ya, I hope a routine happens fairly quickly. I understand about the various feelings, I would soooooooo be scared of it all! Think that’s part of the reason I didn’t go to college, one I didn’t know what I wanted to study and two I was scared about the whole experience (chicken.. Me…. NEVER!)

I am on Facebook, I will find you when I get home later. Be warned, I have some shocking pictures of me!!!!!!!! Hehe!!!
Aah no hun, don’t apologise for "rambling" lol. You know where I am if ya ever need to chat
Well done of the points front!!! I havent done too bad but was pretty over my points up until Monday (Bad me, I know!):grouphugg:

Sorry I didn’t text back last night (Major migraine) ive text you back this morning but not sure which you'll read first Still got migraine this morning, not fair:cry:. Was in bed from 2 yesterday afternoon and couldn’t move, took flexi leave from work and boy am I glad I did! In work today but argh sooooooo poorly!!! Anyways, hope you feel better soon!!! xxx

It's here, yiipeeeeeee! Ok, sounding a BIT too excited. Finally can get on with this weight loss!!

Ok right chick, let me 'educate' you It's yucky, its painful and its a pain in the bum. Yes, you are far too excited!!!!! Although i can understand on a diet front why your excited

God another long un' from me!!!!! x
