Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

My garden is quite small, big for the size of the house though. It seemed like a brilliant idea when I bought the house to have a decent garden but it's a royal pain in the backside, especially if the summers are like this one and I don't get out in it.

 

[Surfhunny]

Fun filled day ahead for me. Had to dash out this morning to put the bins out, I forgot last night, only remembered when I heard the bin wagon in the next street

Then in a minute I'm off to get new tyres on the car, MOT looming on Monday and def need tyres first.

Then I'm going to come home and sit in the garden until WI time.

 

[Surfhunny]

Hmmm my mum went for her WI this morning and she's only lost 5lb despite being 100% and it being her first week. She's not very happy and I can see why, even though common sense tells me it's because she's not got much to lose. But she's disappointed. And now I'm really scared I'm going to have a small loss for week 1 too. I want a decent loss to get me going.

Sally. A loss is a loss! I'm better at least 7-10lb fir you this week. Don't be disheartened by your mum's loss. Focus.

 

[Surfhunny]

I hope so. I also hope mum doesn't lose ficus and give up. They've gone to visit her uncle in Cumbria today which inevitably means going out for lunch. I told her to order a chicken salad or something like that but I suspect she won't. But then I guess that's her choice, I can only do my diet, I can't do hers as well!

Am a bit cross because my tyres cost more than I expected and they were the cheapest. I don't know why but the cost of everything seems to have rocketed in the last year or so. Or maybe I'm just noticing more because money is about to become tight! At least being on CD actually saves me money - I might have to do it forever lol.

I know, I've noticed how expensive everything has become. Emily turns 5 in December so I got a letter through the door today telling me that her gym membership is going from £9 to £27.50! We don't do anything there except her swimming which we pay for! £89 a term. I've written a letter I'm going!

Hi Sal and Nikki --

Your garden looks lovely, Sal. Nikki is right a loss is a loss. Your mum has done well. She is older and has less to lose. Five pounds is impressive.

Well that was a mahoosive disappointment I lost 6lbs (3/4, but CDC doesn't count the fractions), which I know in the scheme of things is a good loss, but not for a first week :cry: My CDC said everyone who's been today has been disappointed, she blames the heat for making us retain water. I hope that's the case cos I've done nothing different.

I was in a bad mood on way home and it was difficult cos I drive past 3 chip shops on the way, plus it smells of bbqs outside. I'm struggling to enjoy my chocolate shake ah well needs must!

Ah Sal,

Your CDC has no reason to lie to you. The heat is making me feel bloated, too.

I saw this on Facebook and think it is appropriate:

 

[Surfhunny]

Ha ha that's so true!! My rings are a bit tight so I guess I'll just have to see what next weeks WI brings.

 

[MinnieMel]

Good attitude!

 

[great things]

If it's any help my rings are tight and I can usually get all 3 off in one go, I struggle to get 1 off. In the morning my fingers are like sausages. . 6.75lb is amazing! Be proud.

 

[Surfhunny]

I am, but still slightly disappointed. I can't help it, I've never lost so little in the first week of ANY diet never mind CD. I'll get over it!!

Would you come to my Zumba class if I took over from Pauline?

 

[MinnieMel]

@Nikki -- I wish I lived closer, I am sure I'd love your classes.

Hi Sal,

I hope you are out enjoying your lovely (tidy) garden.

Mel

At JC? So long as work doesnt interfere. It's been a bit of a problem recently getting to Paulines but hopefully once shifts come in it might be easier. Is Pauline giving it up?

 

[great things]

At JC!!!!!!!

No need to say more.
