Time to stop messing!

[Nanny Doreen]

I know how that feels. My son emigrated to New Zealand 13 years ago. I will never forget the day he left. It will get easier over time. I will be thinking of you and your family.

_______________________________________________________________________________Thats my line, back on plan from today!

After losing 3lbs last week, this week has been a disaster! To be honest I knew it would be...too much going on in the background with family and * week to add to the emotions!

Anyhoo....

Breakfast - Fruit and Muller light yoghurt
Large mug of green tea

Lunch - Jacket Potato with salad

Dinner - chicken chow me in (8 syns)

Thanks Doreen, it was tough and feel drained. Sometimes being so close has its drawbacks but I'd never change that. Hope you are well x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I am well thanks. Have your family gone yet, if not when do they leave and will you go to the airport?

I put on 2lbs last week and I know it was because I ate too much. I am at the monent writing down some of my old diaries so I can get back some of the ideas I had when I was losing a bit.

I have drawn a line too x

Hi Doreen,

Yes, they flew Thursday evening. My brother in law has been there since March, and my sister and niece flew out to join him. I didn't go to the airport as mum and dad took them through and I wanted to give them some time. My 7 year old daughter took them leaving very hard so I waited till they left and headed back home to her (my husband took her and our wee boy home before they left). At the moment it feels like they are on holiday...I'm having mum, dad and Granma round for dinner today - bit of an occasion as I am a very reluctant cook lol!

Are your family still in New Zealand?

Kept to plan yesterday and have been out for a run today. Will keep diary proper from tomorrow as too much going on today...

You'll get your 2lbs off quickly at least we both know where we've gone wrong - sometimes life does that.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend xxx

Yes, Andy is still there. There is no chance of him returning to England to live. He may be over for a wedding next year.

His wife has has some illness over the last few years, she had a brain tumour luckily it was malignant and then had ulcerative colitus. She has been bad which is why I have not been over in two years. My son did say at the time that no matter what he would not take his sons to England to live. They are kiwi`s and he wants them to live there.
Lets hope he never has to make that choice. Julie is a very strong person and is training for a new job.

People tellme to skype instead of talking on the phone, but that I can`t do because it upsets me to much because I can`t hold him.

Enough of that I will be in tears.

Nobody needs advice at this time - all I can say especially for you, your children and your Mum and Dad, talk about them even if it upsets

May be more another time. xxxx :bighugoreen

Ok, so now sitting on runway as flight has long delay! Should have left 0840 this morning (it's 1120) and we've just been told we will be sitting a here for another hour and 10 minutes!!!!! I am typing this as a distraction...they have decided to serve the hot breakfast, arghhhhh! Never has airline food smelt so good!

I've said 'no thank you' but now need to bury my head in the forum so I don't watch the poor lady sitting next to me eat rack mouthful!!

Must be good, must be good, must be good!

Out for dinner with colleagues tonight but sticking to plan...must be good!

 

[Nanny Doreen]

OMG there is nothing worse than sitting in a plane on the tarmac. I have been there in the past, but in the end they let us offfor a couple of hours. I do sympathise with you.

 

[besneys]

I've bought a pedometer to see how much I "don't" move just need to set it up and will wer it from tomorrow.

 

[cameo22]

Thanks for the comments!

Well today I braved the scales as I've avoided for 4 weeks and I'm not surprised to say I've put in 6lbs! I can't even be disappointed as I have been truly awful. I'm away again next week with work at full on evening dinners/drinks but I need to get control back as deep down I'm miserable about how I've let things slip.

Went out and ran 4 miles with intervals this morning. Tomorrow morning I've arranged to go to gym with friend as I've got a new program to follow...out shopping with mum today but I'm going to drive so lunch isn't accompanied by wine!

Not much of a food diary really-sorry...

Breakfast - All Bran with skimmed milk (hex a and b) and muller light

Lunch - Egg mayo on Wholemeal roll - will be syns but unsure

Dinner - Chicken Chow Mein (8 syns)

Lots of green tea!!
