OV Slimming Club Part 4!

[julieanne]

Julie glad to hear your classes are going well [clap]
My diary might look good for this week Julie but I got weighed this morning for the first time in 7 weeks [msnoo] [msnsad]
In that 7 weeks I have put 5lbs on [msncry] [msncry]
I now have half a stone to lose to get to where I want to be - perhaps this is the kick up the behind I need [msnembarrased]
So I'll keep posting my diary (but I've got lots of Christmas nights & lunches out to come) and perhaps you will keep an eye on mine along with Mizzy's [msnwink]

Keep going Mizzy [grouphug] , you must allow yourself a treat or two especially over Christmas but if you keep reading that notice on your fridge I'm sure you'll do ok.

Well done Pat [clap]

Hi Mizzy,

I am at the Trafford Centre on their computer so will be brief[msnwink] I buy a small box of Cadburys Heros on a Friday and we have some over the weekend and if there are any left I dip in over the following week, I also like the Dairy Milk treat sized variety box too I think they are arround 2 or 2.5 syns each too[msnwink][msntongue]

Catch you later when I am home[msnwink]

Morning girls, late night last night at the hospital as the radiotherapy machines broken for a second day (and once last week - makes you wonder doesn't it?) so back home 6.30 with a long wait at the hospital, and best of all the usual daily charge to park the car[msnmad]. I know they allow us to get a token so it's only 50p but really do they think we go there because we want to? Rant over!

Yesterday porridge for breakfast, beans on toast for lunch and then blew it all as DH cooked supper for us as we were running late, fresh pasta with bought mascapone and tomato sauce AND garlic bread, and yes I just had to have some!

Still have a mouthful of ulcers so cannot eat any fruit, so just about managed a glass of tomato juice this am, soup for lunch and am thinking pasta for supper with a homemade tomato sauce.

Hope Ollie is on the mind Mizzy, 6 stitches, it must of hurt and was a very big cut, they are very stoic about things I find. I think Karen's Lily is an Italian Spinone from memory. Labs are particularly known for their piggish behaviour, but to be honest, if food is around they are all pigs! Mine will eat almost anything, but for some reason don't seem to reason they could snaffle stuff off the kitchen worksurface, or the table. Their noses aer table height so they could easily pinch stuff. Our first oldie was a real thief, nothing was safe, she had cooked chicken (whole!) pate, raw meat etc etc. None of the other 3 we have had since have been so bad, but she was a rescue dog, I always think they are the worst as it seems to be with them forever the worry of where their next meal will come from.

More bad news for our family, my sister who is 45 found a massive lump in her breast yesterday, whipped down the GPs and she is waiting for an emergency appointment from the breast clinic. She has just opened a tea shop which she runs with her and 1 assistant, and is on the verge of splitting up with her husband. Obviously we are hoping it is just a cyst, but it's going to be a long week / 10 days while they do all the tests.

And to cap it all, YD b******* off Tuesday night after a row about coming in at 3.00am during the week. Sent me a text message after the event, promised to phone me the next day - followed by total silence, and I am not phoning her, she can ring me. DH incandescent with fury, likely to cut her phone off, and cut the allowance off.

Still it is actually quite peaceful at home for a change, with just ED and us. We are going to put the deccies up on Saturday, so mega whizz round tonight and tomorrow morning clearing stuff and packing ornaments etc away, and christmas shopping on Sunday.

Got a surprise pressie from a stationery company this morning at work - a 1kg bar of cadburys! I don't think I dare see how many syns that has[msnwink].

Janny I am sure you are far too busy do pop in here every day but hope you have been enjoying your new hot tub, have a lovely time, and I so wish we could be there now.

Have a good day all.

[mizzy]

well i can't believe how positive you sound Fiona, [grouphug]

with yd a short sharp shock such as cutting off her allowance may just do the trick, it might possibly be the wake up call she needs[msneek]

Ollly only cut one of the smaller pads on his paw but it must have been an irregular piece of glass as most of the darker part was open, he's quite chirpy and we are just about managing to keep his dressing dry so after a quick vet visit on monday for a check at the healing and new dressings i'm hoping it will all be mended, the vets bill so far is £138[msnoo] all i can say is thank god i have pet insurance, i paid the first £50 in excess charges and the insurance company are paying the rest directly to the vet [clap]

food wise today i'm doing great and feeling positive, my meals are planned for the next few days and knowing what i'm eating always helps

will check in later to see how everyone is getting on

thanks girls for the kind words
if ihadnt been weighed for 7 weeks im sure i wouldnt be looking at just 5 lbs but as you say its the boot up the bum you need to get you going,
its a bad time of year for all of us weight wise, but this is life and we have to adjust to it, and get over any dissapointments
fiona thats bad news about your sister, as though you havent got enough to worry about, and i understand what you are going through with yd, my grandaughter doesnt seem to be able to do much right just lately, she is forever in trouble and her mum has just grounded her yet again for a month so she wont be doing much for christmas how old is she our sophie is almost 16 and trys to 25 pat

[Kazzie]

Fiona, sorry to hear about your sister, as if you havnt got enough to worry about[msnsad]. Its so sad that your YD is behaving as she is too, maybe she just can't handle all of what is going on at the moment? I do hope things improve for you very soon and I applaud you for how positively you are taking these things.

Pat, well done on your 1 and 1/2 lb loss and reaching your stone award[clap]

Glad to hear that your classes are going well Julie and as Mizzy says I hope you are prepared for the big rush of newcomers in the new year.

Mizzy, Fiona was right, Lily is an Italian Spinone and they are actually renowned for being very greedy and pinching food. Apparently, they weigh up whether the crime is worth the punishment and if the crime involves food it is always worth the punishment![msneek][msnoo][msnmad] I know now that I cannot leave food of any description, whether it be raw, frozen or whatever, anywhere on any worktop or table as she can reach absolutely everywhere![msnmad] I know she is going to be a nightmare over the festive period, lord only know how we will manage! Glad to hear that Olly is on the mend now and hopefully will back to longer walks very soon.

Have a nice weekend all[msnsmile2]

Karen, we have just looked up in our dog breeds guide book and she looks like a cheeky character, it says feeding "reasonable"[msneek] but doesn't sound like it in Lily's case you'll have to get that dog trainer in from it's me or the dog, did you see the episode with a dog that could open the oven to steal food and then open drawers to get up onto worktops, he also peed on the bread bin[msnoo] he was so naughty and she managed to train him not too [clap] your Lily doesn't sound as bad as that though, just cheeky and a trier[msnwink]

well back to diet stuff, i was very good yesterday here is my food diary, i had a mix to max day and had my favourite red meal and my favourite green

usual brekkie of toast and jam 2 syns
cooked brekkie with quorn sausages bacon egg mushrooms and tomatoes (red)
banana
mini box of organic raisins 1.5syns
sweet potato wedges, beans and egg (green)
museli yogurt
mini raisins again! 1.5syns
ryvita berry goodness bar 3.5syns

total syns 8.5[angel]

so i'm pretty pleased with myself and feel tons better

i'm planning on a red day today and i've got everything in so i should have another good one

now, i know it's optomistic but i would like that 3 1/2 stone award before christmas[msnsmile] so i need to lose 4.5lbs doesn't sound too much but feels like a lot when there's so much happening and being surrounded with christmas goodies to tempt me but i'm going to give it my bestest shot[clap][clap][clap]

Julie, i tried an old summer dress on yesterday size 16 from next and it was too big especially around the bust and waist, it was ok on the hips (i've always been hippy) but it has spurred me on[msnwink]

Have a good day everyone, it's only 16 more sleeps til christmas [msneek]

...oh, I have a little hangover today!!!![msnembarrased][msnembarrased] Our works Christmas dinner last night! I was soooooo good with the food, nothing fattening, nothing too much and lots of veg to fill me up!!, even gave the pudding up to my colleague sat next to me[msnsmile2]. Believe it was the after dinner port thats made me feel like this!!![xx(]
Anyhow, Santa didn't seem to notice me a shade of green this morning when I took my youngest, Harry to see him.
Our local church do a Christmes coffee morning and Santa visits in his own grotto. The children then, all have their breakfast with him which is really sweet and sing with him around the Christmas tree.
Good job I was feeling abit [xx(] as there were loads of chocolate goodies and mincepies waveing at me everywhere[msneek].
Lots of water for me today.

Have a good weekend everyone and say NO to any mince pies that come your way!!

[Sharon G]

Mizzy....Just trying to talk my DH round to taking on a little homeless 4 year old Jack Russell called "Molly". She's absolutely adorable. It's 3 years since we lost our other dog.
Glad to hear Ollie is on the mend.

[Kazzie]

Mizzy, I did see that episode of "its me or the dog" and Lily is not quite so bad, at least she isnt yet anyway! She knows how to open the back door to let herself in, hence back door permanently covered in mud as the garden is like a bog with all the rain[msnmad]. She has not yet fathomed out how to close the door after letting herself in though[msnoo]. She has also tried her best to open the cupboard door where her food is kept but thankfully has not yet mastered it. We also have to watch her when cooking anything under the grill as it is just at her eye level and she doesnt seem perturbed at all about the heat[msneek].

Thanks, NOT for the reminder that it is so near Christmas[msneek][msneek], I am not a bit organised, I havn't even bought any Christmas cards yet!
