[cat90]

Yaaayy..the sun is back they up the forecast because it was supposed to today and its y so that means i can get out in the garden..yesterday turned into a out that usually happens when i'm stuck indoors

Have just been and visited mum and dad, it's dads birthday and he finally commented that I am losing weight and asked if I was sickening for something - cheeky man !!!!

Am getting a royal visit (visit from my parents), they only come over 4 times a year, the boys birthdays, mine and Christmas. Although my BD is on Friday they can't manage then so are coming tomorrow night instead. Wouldn't be the first year I've got my presents on the night of my dads birthday when we've gone up visiting them to save them the bother of coming over. Apparently the road only goes one way, from here to there and not vice a versa - but don't get me started on that.

Anyway what I was going to say was, I best go sort some clothes out for me going away on Friday as I won't have time tomorrow.

Long way for a short cut as usual !!!

[cat90]

@ your Dad..that is a rather unusual compliment

Have fell off the wagon. Have had a drink everynight for the last fortnight and yesterday the eating went all to pot too. Feel like a fat blob this morning, but am determined to turn that round and get my positive attitude back by lunchtime.

I am going away for the weekend, but that is no excuse to just give up compleely until Monday. We will hopefully be walking about, maybe even dancing if I can persuade Ray to shake a leg - who knows!! We will be eating out but again I am responsible for my own choices, so if I choose bacon and eggs every morning over sensible cereal then that is my decision and the scales will go even higher.

Saw a 3lb gain on them this morning is pure junk and lack of exercise.

Time to recommit ladies.

Need to email lovely WW lady, she must have got like this during her weight loss journey. One thing I must do is not be embrassed to go to WW on Monday. Must just go and get it over and done with, gain and all and then I can stand up and face it and work at it

All this is just too serious for this time of the morning, haven't even had breakfast yet

see you later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAROL!!HAVE A VERY HAPPY DAY...




Please do not get disheartened, remember you are so special to many people in many ways...tell yourself you haven't really fallen off the wagon, you just lost your footing and one leg is dangling over the edge,but don't be scared 'cos there are a couple of dozen hands all reaching out to grab you and haul you back into safety, a bit bruised and shakey perhaps but no serious or long term injuries!!

Much love from Teel and of course Holly insists on giving you a jiss as well.

[BritinNJ]

Happy Birthday carol, have a super day and ditto to what Teel says And.if you want to have an off point day for your birthday, go ahead love, tomorrow is another day and knowing you you'll be back on track witha vengence. Have a happy happy day....
Hugs for the birthday girl.

Hi girls, hope you're all having a good weekend. Mine has been pretty good so far, went out this afternoon and bought myself three new pairs of sandals, Payless were having a memrial day sale, buy two, get the third free. I did very well too. I bought a lovely pair of black strappy sandals with a **** (not too high though) which I plan onwearing on Friday night. I am going to Atlantic city which is about a 2 hour drive from me. I am going to an award ceromony for a friend as she has been given an award for best teacher in teaching autistic kids. Another friend (she's loaded) is renting a limo for us to get down there as no one want's to drive that far and back in one night, so we're going to have a dress up, eat expensive food, girls night out on the town....oh yeah! I'm really excited about the limo, never been in one before, and we can drink some drinkypoo's on the way down too.....I'll let you know how I fare. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.

[cat90]

oooh Chris..how exciting sounds like my kinda living does your "loaded" friend need anymore friends? i'd be more than happy to come with you are you going to take any pic's of your great night on the town? we would love to see some

I have had a ball of a weekend.

Ray took me away to Aviemore for my birthday, with no kids. Took us 2 hours to drive up there, we stayed a motel, no cooking facilities so we had to eat out - no choice - like I needed an excuse Friday night we drank too much vodka and went out for pizza to the pizzeria next to the motel. Had our meal in the bar and nobody wrote down our order, so no one made up a bill for us, so we had free pizza. Tasted all the better for that

Then on Saturday I had an enormous breakfast of bacon, egg, sausage and toast and then walked 5 miles which would have helped some of it go. Went up the cairngorms.


on the train. Had to leave that gap to make you think I'd walked it - fat chance !!!!!

Saturday night was another calorie laden feast of chicken and mushrooms and loads of booze followed on Sunday morning by an even bigger breakfast.

Then yesterday afternoon we took the boys for an 11 mile bike ride, all a bit saddle weary after that.

It was a fantastic weekend, I feel loved and cherished by my nearest and dearest and had a ball.

But today I am back with all seriousness. I have gained. My scales (unoffiaclly) show a 6lb gain - am hoping WW ones tonight will only show a gain of 5. No harm in wishful thinking.

I enjoyed the food and the booze, so now I deal with it - how often do I go off plan for a whole week and then so much in one weekend. Never !!!!

It was fun, it's over with, time to lose that next stone - may take me a couple of weeks to get back to the 2 stone mark, but I'll be back there and soon.

best go do some work, supposed to be downloading drivers for the colour printer - on a bank holiday as well - why isn't the office shut ????

[cat90]

That scale must be like mine is thats my story and i'm sticking to it the weekend sounded great Carol..glad you had a good time..Ray really looks after his lady
The weather is beautiful and i'm going to do my Pilates tape and then get out and transplant some flowers into the 'garden'. I'm just looking out of the window and two laid back bambies are literally sat on the grass i've never seen them sitting down before..only eating my plants

[Smiling Sal]

This week I am going to focus focus focus.

Wheres Veggie has she been swallowed by the BB4 monster already ?

Thought she of had a few bits of juicy gossip about it all for us already.

[Smiling Sal]

Cathy - it sounds lovely with the bambies and everything - although if I worked as hard in my garden as you do and they ate the plants, I might not think them so cute .....
