Drat :kickcan: pity i'm not there Kyk :lol: maybe next time :D hey you sure you've not been out on it? you've spelt b***h wrong :crazy: :rofl:

We can do it next year! I'd have to get very drunk though but seen as I will be VERY SLIM THEN :devil: it'll just take a tiny amount of booze.

Right I'm on a super diet now I'm going to Rome in July and I need to look fabulous for then so i can put a few pounds on on holiday and not get upset about it.

Hey Princess, I'm going to Rome in July too (on 24th to be exact)!

Only 14 weeks to go - hopefully I can lose another stone by then....can't wait!

Janey

Happy Sunday morning everyone - I was up with the lark this morning and have already been for a 90 minute brisk walk, so I'm feeling all virtuous :angel: - now I just need to stay away from the hot cross buns and the Cadbury's mini eggs and I'll be fine.

Kylie - I'm tempted to join you in the no-weighing till May thing, but I'm not sure I have the willpower not to step on the scales every morning. Its taken me since the beginning of November to drop from 12st 13lbs to 12 stone (this morning), and that's despite writing down every morsel I eat and exercising for at least an hour a day :bike2: :running: :lifter: ...the refusal of the scale to budge is really beginning to wind me up! But I worry that if I stop weighing and let the numbers take care of themselves, they will do just that, and when I step back on the scales in May I'll be back up to 13 stone again. It's not as if that hasn't happened to me in the past :tantrum: - obviously I'm not the kind of woman who can afford to take her eye off the ball.

Have a good day everyone :hug: ,

Janey

I woke up and decided that I wouldn't go mad but really enjoy some of the
Lindt choccies my father had bought me for Easter. These are my absolute faves. Anyway I had opened the box in the week to let my husband have some. He knows how much I love them. What do I find this morning that wanker has eaten the lot. He thinks its one big joke I think. I've not touched chocolate or biscuits during the whole period of Lent. I've gone completely mad at him and to hurt me he has said he thinks I am heading for the funny farm. He knows how much this upsets me as my mother is Schzophrenic as was my younger brother. Oh bugger now I have really upset myself how did my day get like this.

Michele :hug: :hug: :hug:

Take a deep breath, then take yourself off for a nice brisk walk, preferably one that passes a newsagents just before you get back home so that you can get yourself a nice (small!) chocolate treat to eat when you get home with a nice cuppa.

The walk will remove the source of irritation (your husband), get you some fresh air and release some endorphins that will lift your mood. Then you can look forward to your choccy treat when you get home.

Try not to let it ruin your day - you're bigger than that!

All the best, Janey :hug:

:hug: Big hugs to Michele - I know how much you were looking forward to your chocolate at the end of Lent. Just remember that he ONLY said what he did because he knows he's done wrong and wants to make you feel bad too. I think it would be a good day for him to find out how the cooker works... and the washing machine... and the iron.... As Dippy says, take yourself off to burn some cals and get rid of some anger - and they go treat yourself to something nice - but, first of all, HIDE THE TV REMOTE CONTROL. :hug:

Kylie, I think your being VERY brave with the no weighing thing. The last time I tried anything like that I went completely off the rails and went on a 3 year long binge.

Janey, WELL DONE ON GETTING TO 12 STONE!!!!!!!!!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Janie Jane, I started my fitness programme with walking - its free, its good exercise - and you also get a bit of a tan. Try starting with a brisk walk 3 times a week for 30 minutes then lengthen them or maybe add in some more when you feel you are able to. If you treat it as a bit of 'me' time then you'll enjoy it more - its great for clearing your head and I find I'm feeling far less stressed than I used to. I always take an MP3 player and often sing along at the top of my voice - but I walk in a very remote area - singing along at the top of your voice might not be such a good idea if you're walking along the high street! :dizzy:

I WANNA GO TO ROME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did my upper body work out this morning - strange - for the first time since I started Body for Life I woke up in a 'don't feel like it' mood - but I dragged myself out of bed and got going. My biceps decided that they'd had enough before I got to the end of the last exercise. Kylie, if you read this, is this what is meant by working to 'failure'? I think maybe I'm increasing my weights too quickly because I certainly hit a LOT of 10s today.

Poor DH - he got home from work yesterday to find me still all shaken up about the lad with the gun. By bed time I was feeling okay only to have the Police ring at 10.30pm!!! Apparently its been passed on to my local Police station and this officer was ringing to let me know that they still hadn't got the lad but to go over the 'incident' and my description. Great! :( By the time I'd gone over the whole thing yet again I was shaking like a leaf. The silly thing was that at the time I was more p'd off about him pointing the gun at George - it didn't occur to me (until DH pointed it out) that the shot had actually been at me! DH thought it would put me off walking today but it didn't - I just wore a VERY bright pink top and made a lot of noise.

Poor you Michele just remember you're better than him. :D :devil: He is in the wrong and you're not, it should be him feeling rubbish.

Well done Janey on the 12 st. :cp:

Hi Michele - it's right you know, he only said those things so you'd feel as s****y as he does - my hubby's the same. When I eventually 'snap' and point out a few home truths he gets all quiet and sulky and then I end up feeling like I should say sorry - I've resisted recently though and it feels great :smug:

Go have your walk, treat and a cup of coffee and don't let him see that he's got to you too much - it's the best way to confuse him and make him think twice about doing it in future :?:

Try to have a better rest of the day - we're thinking of you :hug:

Sarah - sorry - meant to reply above - I'm rubbish at linking two messages in one post:D - thanks for the advice about walking - 3 times a week sounds realistic - I'll give it a go

Sod it I just wrote a long post thanking you all for your lovely thoughtful and
kind words and didn't I press the wrong button and lose it never mind.

Anyway thank you all, I am feeling much better I got out for a bit of a walk and calmed down. My husband is usually such a good kind man, its only today he's been a complete wanker!! I had got myself in such a state this morning I could taste the anger I was that annoyed. Fortunately it is rare for
me to get like this. Just as well as it can't be good for your health!!!

Sarah I hope you are feeling ok after your experience with the mad eejit on the moors.

Janie you are doing so well, you will love walking and it really helps shifting
the fat.

Janey you will be the 11's before you know it. I remember how it seemed to take me ages to get there too.hang in there.

Thank you all again for being such sweethearts you have warmed my soul.

Take good care everyone and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Michele

p.s. I want to go to Rome too!!

Hello all. I had a lovely swim this morning, did loads of lengths, coz I got a lane!!!! All the fast swimmers were annoyed, but the "free area" had about 30 territorial army lads in it that made "Bad Lads Army" look like a Blue Peter audition call, so I had to head into the serious swimmers bit!

Sarah Ann, that's working to failure, when you have one more (or a couple) of reps to do and your muscles go "hey I'm sorry, but we're not invited to this party see ya!" And you just can't lift without losing form. I try to stop just before that point, coz of my coordination difficulties I can really throw my form and hurt myself if I'm not careful. I could do with a personal trainer or spotter even on light weights. I need a training partner! I keep looking out for one!

I often have a "weigh in break". I have scale issues which go way back, when my mum and I used to weight watchers. I can live without em, I don't even have them in the house. The scales don't change what I do. If anything, my eating behaviour gets worse when I weigh in regularly. I know, I'm a freak!

I'm doing Body Combat tomorrow. I want to try and do a weights session after Body Combat, but I'm thinking that I won't really be capable of doing that! I certainly couldn't do it first!! I might go back in the afternoon. The guys at the gym already think I'm mad!!!

Anybody else eaten themselves sick with easter eggs? :p :p i've been at it for THREE days and i'm sick to death of them but I can't leave them alone :eek: Michele try not to be too mad at hubby he did you a favour ;) though it did'nt seem like it at the time :) I was mad at mine last night ( :sssh: well I am all the time really :lol: ) he came home and i'd taken a pack of bacon out of the freezer for this mornings breakfast. I forgot that i'd left it on the counter. I was upstairs and I heard him "messing" about downstairs :rolleyes: by the time I got down there the chip pan was on and about fourteen rashers of bacon were frying on the griddle for his tea :rollpin: GRRRRR!! I told him he was a greedy :ink: and left him to it. Now I know that he can cook something when he has to..he's just damned lazy :rofl: Anyway, my fry up was history but i've made up for it in mini eggs :p eewwwww! I hope I remember how I feel today next week :crazy: it might help me to have a good week ;)

Oh yeh..note to self..mark on calendar..good friday next year..rammie mile with Veggie and Kyk :cheers: I can feel sick on that day but something else will be the cause :devil: :rofl:

My mother-in-law bought me a Crunchy easter egg - not sure if she loves me or hates me :?:

I ate about a third of the egg and felt a bit sick - very strange - I think I must be ill or something - so the rest of it and the two bars are in the cupboard - don't worry - they won't last long!

Of course, I didn't feel so ill that I couldn't eat the coconut and cherry cake that accompanied my decaff latte this afternoon :o
