Lose Weight 26

andyslinz

Hi all....
I have got sooo much to catch up on!
Thanks for the new thread, I've just read the six pages, but am sure I wasn't up-to-date with the old one

I have missed two weight ins :mad:
So hopefully next week when I weigh in I will have lost! It'll be three weeks worth. I have been unwell for the past few days so haven't been able to do my running training, which I am GUTTED about. I was really enjoying it, and woke up Monday morning feeling terrible. Phoned in sick. Went to college on Tuesday and was craving exercise (yes! CRAVING ... EXERCISE!) So I went on my exercise bike in the evening, and was planning on running on Wednesday morning so I didn't ruin my schedule. But could not, and still could not this morning!!
Has anyone any advice on whether or not to run with cold? I have sniffles and sore throat and sometimes hot and cold and headaches.
I hope I am better by the bank holiday cos me and andy are going to a comedy club on sunday night. And we have had the tickets booked for ages!!
On Tuesday night I am going to see Girls Aloud with my sister. We only booked tickets on friday and managed to get seats on the eight row!! So we are looking forward to that.

Welcome to all the newbies! :hello:
Well done to the losers&STS :T
Keep going the gainers! :j

Will have to keep up!! I have missed so much

andy - my general understanding is don't push yourself when you have a cold. Ultimately, it might be worth just trying to tune in to what your body is telling you rather than you head. If you are achy I think scale it down a bit.
sary - I can't believe that woman - I'd have been a wreck even if it wasn't my fault and a child had run out in front of me. Very relieved to hear all ok. I like the sound of the way your family handles things and can tell the story as funny.
Things much better for me now thanks peeps. Life just likes to throw googlies and I've just tried surfin the wave of it. Granny's perception is quite right - I have of course just been nibbling lots of raw swede:D.

Polka -you are sounding upbeat even though you are not pregnant this time: you know you body knows how to do it, so there is every reason to hope it can and will do it in good time.(I understand you have added complications.) And thanks for you various comments about you homeland - it's good to hear personal accounts of situations we just hear about on the news.

Saw GP this morning and she said I looked much trimmer than when she last saw me: amazing what -5lbs and a good haircut will do:D

Afternoon,

I've just had my first chance to sit down today, and decided after reading my emails to catch up on the thread.

Polka - I'll have a look at your website this evening and comment back to you. I'm interested in the site you're using & if there are associated costs, as I would like to eventually get my own site organised too. I tried looking into creating my own about a year or so ago, but I just seemed to get lost, and the templates online looked fine, but then I hadn't a clue how to fill them! I had 2 domain names registered, but they've lapsed now. The pics will be up later, as I hadn't transferred them over from my phone yesterday. Will be thinking of your pastor's family, and including them in my prayers.

Buttons - I've noticed my skin isn't looking so fab, especially at the top of my leg/bottom of bum, and also my bingo wings. I've just been moisturising as much as possible, and hoping that keeping active, and building some muscle tone will help. At Christmas I had a stonking pair of hooters, & my BF said if I could keep my bum like that he'd be a happy man, but they've both been shrinking (thank goodness) and the knock on effect is the skin looking a bit loose, but in my experience, it does tend to even out eventually.

Will check in again later, hope everyone has had a good Thursday. I can't believe it's May tomorrow! Where did April go?

DS is still off school, and says he's enjoying being off and not feeling ill! He is hobbling around on the crutches OK, but his foot is clearly quite swollen, so no way he'd get a shoe on it to go out anywhere. Thankful he's on work experience at the mo, so not missing any lessons at school.

Well, today I had to take BF to the train station to get down to his work depot to return to work (who weren't impressed he didn't arrive until midday, despite it being a 2hr journey, and the first off peak train was at 10.15, otherwise it would have cost him £74, which his work won't reimburse), then I did a quick trip into Farmfoods to stock up the freezer, as the older boys have been complaining there's not much to eat!

I started the sorting out boxes, and finished the day sorting out boxes and cupboards, cleaning, dusting, tidying, etc., and generally trying to make this house not look like it's been visited by the house moving fairy! Still attempting to shoe-horn in what I can. Food has been 'on the hoof' and disorganised, which is never a good thing, and I'd run out of my Promax meal bars, that I try to keep spare, so couldn't rely on them. Farmfoods was either frozen food or !!!!, so I ended up munching on Ritz crackers as a last resort at about 11am on my way home. Then I got stuck into housework here, so it was a packet of doritos, and later on a hot x bun. All carbs, all rubbish, and all probably packed with calories and no goodness. It's chicken salad for tea, so some good stuff there. I have taken 2 evening primrose caps & a multi vitamin with iron, preparing for TOTM.

Buttons - I'd noticed that the skin around my boobs was going crinkly and was worried about it staying like that but it seems to have sorted itself, although I think I've probably only gone down a cup size or two. Bit upset about this as I liked big hooters! But I suppose I'm in proportion and they're not tiny. Tried on some size 12 dresses in Tescos the other day my bottom half fitted lovely but it wasn't happening on the top, and there I thought that my lower half would've been the problem.

I finished work at 6am this morning, and as I got home my MP3 player died (I'd have been really annoyed if it had died as I left work) so I popped to town for a new one today. I can't run without my music.
I got this one! (Thou mine is black)


It's brilliant! The MP3 player is in the earphones!! No wires or anything, it's great cos I used to have my MP3 player on my arm in an armband which used to rub.

x-raph thanks for putting me back on;) did you include the 4.4lb loss I had the week before through the stomach bug?

I hadn't...but I will make a note for the new chart that brings your total to 93 lbs loss right?

Vix, try these ones, they are in ear ones, but go over the ear too so stay in place.

I can't remember who is on Weight Watchers, but can anyone tell me how many points 2 sugars in a tea is? My friend wants to know
