Lol, you are dead right. Baby is keeping me awake, and I didn't even get a mother's day lie-in! :mad: When you are up at 5.30/6am every day it makes for a very long morning and I know I would eat less if I was able to stay in bed more.

Doesn't help that my hot water has broken down and i can't afford to get it fixed, so I do feel somewhat mingin after weeks without a bath. But this morning spent an hour boiling kettles and pans and had a good long soak, so feel much better now.

And have a bit more determination to look after myself after the smoking binge. Truly felt on the verge of a heart attack last night! :eek:

You so have my sympathy. DD2 is 19 months and still fancies a drink and a cuddle at 4 am, followed by a 5.30 non-negotiable get up! As everyone keeps telling me, we have to do baby steps ( presumably that means at 4 am and accompanied by unnecessary wailing!!)

Murder innit?

Well I had a lovely first mother's day (even without a lie-in). Walked to the beach where bubba had her first taste of sand and undeterred kept trying to shovel more in her mouth. Nice salty chips for he ma and pa. Was great fun though, lovely weather. Then popped into the soft play area which was free for under 12 month olds and she had a great time pottering about while we had a cuppa.

Was just good to get out!

Still feeling carp and run down though, that smoking binge did mne absolutely no favours.

Breakfast: had bowl of muesli

lunch: will have fish pie and peas

dinner: not a clue as yet, might make a dhal and naan bread

Good morning

Mother's day went well, OH and I travelled to se our mums, spent an hour with his then collected mine and went to a NT property, had a lovely lunch veggie bake with boiled pots, carrots and cabbage grown in the grounds. Walked round the house and gardens for a couple of hours then went for cake and tea. Was scrummy. Back to mum's and spent a couple of hours with her playing cards. OH went off to visit a few more of his rellies. Got home about 8, DD had baked me a cake which it would have been rude not to try and DS had bought me a box of thorntons. Will lessen the damage by sharing these. So all in all a good day.

Weighed in this morning and once again have sts.

Have had a walk round the park this morn, had cereal at 6.30 will have eggs in a mo. Lunch apple and sandwich, diner not sure as will be after yoga at 9pm so something quick.

Hugs to non sleeping mums, I remember it well, and to everyone for struggling on.

taplady, glad your husband is on the mend
floyd, congratulations on perservering, and massive sympathy to all you hardworking mums! i'm struggling to concentrate today becuase i'm soooo tired, but that's purely becuase i enjoyed myself too much over the weekend, so no sympathy for me!

WI this morning and i've lost the 2lbs that i put on last week, hurrah! so now i'm back to where i started about a month ago :rotfl: . still, at least i'm no longer heavier than when i started, so it's all good - i feel a lot more positive about it al.

l - leftover winter vegetable pie
s - fruit, oatcake before kung fu

Hi all,

Feel a bit rough today, my guts are a bit sploshy I hope I haven't got the gut-rot that is going around. I hate it when people force themselves into work when they are ill and make everyone else sick by spreading their germs :mad::mad:

B: Bran flakes

L: Lentil soup

Singapore chow mein

S: Shortbread brought back by a colleague who went to Glasgow last week.

Hope I can do better this week, fingers crossed. Have a good week all

morning all

((hugs)) to jojob it does get easier....honest! are you taking any vitamins? i am feeling pretty run down and frequently unwell at the minute (probably stress at work and running round after the kids) and i find that taking biggish does of vit c (1000mg) and a multi vit does help a bit. it might be psychological but who knows, might be worth a try.

today started with 2 x wm toast (cant quite face the cereal after yesterday morning :rotfl: )

am out for lunch with a work collegue so need to be careful. not sure what the healthy options will be but im sure it wont be as low cal as it should be.

dinner should be lefter overs from yesterdays roast but i might make and freeze some veggie burgers with those and have a salad instead.

snacks will be fruit, dried apple or a muller light.

have a good day all

PurpleSkies

So as usual for me an indulgent weekend but nothing too bad. I think the reason for the non-inch loss is my recent increase in the amount of beer I've been drinking! This was of course while I was watching the rugby so the end of the 6 nations will hopefully be a good thing for my waistline!

Went running yesterday & did 4k and it's karate training tonight so that'll help even things out a bit! I hope!!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

taplady
