i think the scales in my gym have gone loopy. It says I have gained like 8 pounds in a week!!!! I'm not convinced!!! Time to give up weighing!!! All my clothes are looser, so I don't know where it thinks those eight pounds are hiding!!! Silly!
Woop woop is a saying, like back of beyond.....
I bought Elle and Glamour today, naughty me, but it's better than a mars bar!!!
No moaning just me with mouth open while doc told me my tablets I have been on for FIVE YEARS may cause heart problems...ok then better come off them! I can't believe I've been on them for 5 years no way.
I'm glad I am not scale motivated. My pantsometer is nearly falling on the floor, I can't afford new jeans, I keep washing these on a boil wash and drying them on the highest setting in the dryer, it shrinks them for a few hours!!!
And I am getting more comments than ever about how fab I look!!!
Death to the scales!!! I should have known not to do it. I did a killer leg workout yesterday, and I know my muscles are retaining water, I can feel them!!! Will I ever learn????
Just a real quickie - cos him who thinks he's the boss is home today and tapping his foot waiting to go out.....
Auntie Sarah's patented 'should I get married' questions: Think on 10 years and 20 years from now - what does it do to you to think of your future without your beloved? Can you actually think of a future without him? Does a future without him seem to give you more possibilities than one with him? Does your heart flutter when you know he's on his way home? Most importantly, is he your best friend?
I got married to the ex Mr Sarah because I thought that it was what I 'ought' to do. He was very good looking and I thought I loved him and everyone thought us a 'good match' and expected us to get married. On the lead up to the wedding I had my doubts but I didn't listen to what my heart was telling me and it didn't take long to regret it (married at 20, divorced by 25). Basically the marriage fell apart at the first hurdle - we wanted to start a family early and I had 5 miscarriages before I finally had my daughter when I was 23. That relationship just wasn't strong enough to withstand the strain.
When I met the current Mr S I just knew he was the one for me. There were no doubts. It was all extremely quick we had our first date on a Thursday and he moved in the following Monday. That was 10 years ago and we've never even had an argument.
Okay - 10 years from now - 33, I could be a singleton with CATS and be super fit and never have to worry about going out and him missing me... But he wouldn't be there to moan to or to be proud of me when I ran a good 5K.
20 years - 43, starting to feel a bit lonely, but maybe I would've met someone else? But I wouldn't have him to come home too. I'd like to be living in the country with a multitude of animals. I know he wants to move around and live abroad before we "settle down" but I don't mind being away for a year or two.
I think my independant streak is coming through there! I can't sleep well when he's out doing his Police thing, otherwise I'm the one coming home late In fact I can't sleep well without him if he's away somewhere.
And yes he is my best friend. Always has been. We're very giggly and cuddly. We were giggling last time about if you could go anywhere, like the moon or anywhere - where would you go. I said Norway and he laughed. I'd rather go to Norway than the moon!
We were friends for a year first, when I was going out with, being dumped by, and getting over a guy I thought I would stay with for a long time. After we got together we were engaged a month later, then of course we had to concentrate on Uni but we moved in as soon as we could.
We've been living together for almost 3 years with no big bust ups. We did get slightly narky when we were both doing finals.. but that's understandable.
So yes I do love him to bits, but I have an independent streak I think is the bottom line! I will get my cats though - they will "turn up" on the doorstep and I couldn't possibly give them away...
I think I'm over my little scary moment! I also don't like to grow up (Petra Pan I am!) which is another thing. I'll be a grown up when I'm married
Oh kykaree, Tesco have cheap jeans - tesco value ones! I think they are about £4-£7 I can't remember but I know they have cheap ones! Primark have cheap ones too

Frus I think it's great when you want someone but you don't need them, and I think that's where you are at. Too may women are looking for "salvation" for someone to make their lives complete, if your partner is just that, your partner, your equal, you are starting from a very strong position.
Col loves my independent streak, and lets me live my own life, but is there when I need him and vice versa. His friends are amazed that I will whizz off on holidays on my own, or go off with friends for night, or whatever, and they wish their girl friends and wives were more like me!!!
I'll try Tesco and Primark, I just find that cheaper clothes are normally sized a bit smaller, and I am on the 20 ish size of 18 for bottoms and the 16ish side for tops!
I just did a BLT (bums, legs and tums) class. I can't actually walk now, but it was fantastic. I love pain!!!
Cool - thanks for your positive words kyk, and I remember the Tesco value jeans being an ok size for their fit. I will also have a dig around if I have any older jeans kicking around for you - I don't throw much out so you may be lucky!
I like cast offs I'm threatening to wear the frock to tesco to get another wear out of it. I put it on over Christmas and walked around the house being a princess, complete with tiara!!! It nearly doesn't fit!!!
It's suspicously quiet at work today, and we have three off, I don't know where my work has disapeared to!!
Don't knock having no work! I have mainly been out in the van today. I'm so tired I can't even remember what I did this morning, probably surf the net and e-mail.
Yay Peacock, and Kylie there is NO WAY that is fat
I have just discovered the meaning of embarrasment. Not only did I call Green Flag for the second time in five days, but the same bloke turned up to rescue me
I would be less worried if he hadn't said "see you soon" as he dropped me off at home while towing the car to the garage. Am I clearly that clueless with cars? I just hope it's fixed for Friday night or I'll have to hire a car to drive to Stansted to fly to Spain to hire a car to drive to France!!!
Anyway, it meant I didn't make yoga, but as I brought work home I was meant to be doing anyway instead of going to yoga it gives me a better excuse (stuck on the side of the road with recovery truck) than just being too busy and not feeling like it.
I ran 10k this morning anyway, so it's not like I haven't exercised! (Another fastest ever in the build up to Friday's full on assault on running a 10k "race" on the treadmill)
Scales are evil, I am going to have it on my headstone!
Perhaps the Green Flag man is booby trapping your car because he secretly fancies you!!!
I did a killer Bum Legs and Tum class today. Boy it was hard, and I can hardly walk now!! But I walked to swimming and did forty lengths and walked back nonetheless.
I'm applying for a managerial secondment at work, I did my application today. I think it's possibly a waste of time, but we'll give it a bash. I want more shopping money!!!
I am absolutely terrified. I have been so strict with myself, but if I haven't lost, I have no idea why. I have done a lot more walking, taking stairs etc.
I will see what they say tomorrow eh. 10am... *shuddershudder*
My DVD came. Just trying to get the piggin' thing open is an exercise in itself! LOL!
may cause heart problems...ok then better come off them! I can't believe I've been on them for 5 years no way.
*laff and point* at kykaree's Gym scales! 8lbs in a week - you'd have to eat more than a frikkin Mars Bar to gain 8lbs in a week! 
They are PURE EVIL!! As long as the pantsometer is happy, that's all that counts!
and be super fit and never have to worry about going out and him missing me... But he wouldn't be there to moan to or to be proud of me when I ran a good 5K.
I can't sleep well when he's out doing his Police thing, otherwise I'm the one coming home late
