lazy liz sorry to hear yur poorly, i wont say 'at least you'll lose weight' cos i know when i had a bladder infection a few weeks ago that was the last thing i would have wanted to hear, i always have soup when i'm recovering, its the only time i have it because i tend to think food just be eaten not drank, but hey ho,
soup is good with hunks of bread , oh no, must not go there i have had no bread for days :T
and i was a breadoholic, seriously love bread,
i had ryvetas and yoghurt for brekkie and chicken wraps for lunch, dont know whether to have tea or not, not really hungry.will see later,

newlywed

Right I am trying very hard not to go and eat everything in the cupboards right now.

Best edit it out in case it gets seen, but the gist is:

Men!!!

juliethemuse

ok newlywed, take heed from she who has been married far too long, DONT do anything else for the lazy grumpy ******* until he apologises, simple!
and deffo dont let him ruin your diet! i wouldnt make his lunch either !

Newlywed I totally feel for you, my DH has moods like that, I call it his Man-period (not to his face) and have learned to ignore it (I can be stroppy and unreasonable myself sometimes lol). Don't do anything for him until he apologises though, and I'm sure you can have ONE cake (or slice lol). ((HUGS))

Funny how they cease to be able to feed themselves when they get a wife isn't it? I make mine a packed lunch weekdays so on weekends if I don't feed him he gets grumpy and stroppy then moans at me (I forget he is incapable of making a sandwich!) because he hasn't eaten - as if feeding 3 kids is not enough for me to remember! MEN!! Indeed x

newlywed

Yeah OH had a dishwasher when we got married. He had to teach me how to use it as we never had one at my parents' - now strangely enough he can't remember how to use it and is incapable of putting his things in there

Newlywed I'm with the others don't do a thing for him. I'm dreadful at this if I'm told I 'never do anything' I take a week out to please myself - cook for ME, clean up MY mess, wash MY clothes and ensure the only food available is pasta because a) it's a cupboard item and b) he hates it. I should add c) I'm petty enough to get total enjoyment from pee-ing him off

Would add I've not ironed for OH for over 2 years due to being told I'd 'not done it right', fine by me don't like ironing anyway :T

I had a busy weekend but didn't eat brilliantly due to time issues, thing I've exercised enough to balance out but could do better.

Speaking of could do better I did a brisk 20 min walk to an appointment this morning but then on the way back had to go via town (30 mins normal walking) as I was gasping for a drink and needed to buy lunch en route to work, ended up buying an iced bun too .

so today:
B: 1 toast with spoonful of b/beans, 1 toast with l/f spread & jam
S: iced bun
L: fajita wrap
S: crisps
smoked mackeral, new pots & peas
Drinks: only tea & water so far there is 1/2 glass wine left so may finish that with Dinner, but then its squash only.

juliethemuse

is it a bit wishful thinking that i can lose that 3 stone before my birthday in aug? i have my birthday 'surprise' (a balloon flight, but i'm not s'posed to know, might sink the balloon at the moment)
and holiday in September. holiday especially as i tend to eat like a pig on holiday, hope everone else keeps focussed this week,

Welcome jollymummy :wave:good to have you aboard

Re men, I found the perfect solution. Got rid of mine 10 years ago cos he was consantly getting in my way and under my feet, a relationship which just wasn't going to work. Not for me, anyway

B - Egg, tomato, bacon, grapefruit juice
L - Coley fillet ys'ed to 79p in Mr M (how times have changed, I used to give coley to my cats!) mushroom, tomato. 1 scoop Walls light ice-cream with 1/2 chopped banana
Snax - plum, pear, apple, satsuma, banana
D - will be egg salad, chocolate orange Muller

Exercise 1 hour pulm rehab which includes step, weights, trunk bends, etc. Always sleep for a couple of hours in the afternoon after that lot!

Before husband MKII moved in with us I always used to iron as, when and if we needed things, often just shaking and folding them as soon as they came off the line or out of the dryer. He'd been used to his mother ironing virtually everything before it was put away, and so I gave in to the grumbling and fronted up to piles of ironing every week. Then one day about six years ago he announced during one of his many man-moans that he could do a better job of the laundry, and so I announced that I was going to let him. Permanently. It's not gone unnoticed that ever since the day he was so generously awarded this responsibility, it's been enough for him to shake and fold everything the moment it's dry. I don't think our iron has seen active service since 2006

I hope the few men who participate/lurk on this thread aren't feeling ganged up on by now. I've been growing a couple of my own since the late eighties (sons aged 21 and 22) and so I do know that the menfolk aren't entirely as grim as we often paint them. Not always, anyway

Today's food...

Breakfast: Strawberries and plain yoghurt
Lunch: I was passing the bed at the time and stretched out to think about what to have for lunch, concluding that I'd have a grape and salad cream sandwich. Three quarters of an hour later I realised I'd just slept through lunch instead. Oops.
Dinner/tea: Cooked by my husband, this was (huge) beefburgers, mash, peas, mushy peas, carrots and gravy.
Snack: tea seemed incredibly substantial and I am not one bit hungry and don't really expect to be for a while, but if my stomach starts to complain later about lack of lunch today it can have the grape and salad cream sandwich.

Today's exercise...

The usual walk to school and back, twice
A walk to the park to feed the ducks
I'm aware that this isn't much, and am considering astounding the family by relinquishing my status as the only person who hasn't had a go on my daughter's Wii since she got it in November. Wii Sports seems like it might have it's uses. Even though it does wear me out just watching

In other news, I became debt-free today for the first time in many a month. Totally irrelevant, I know - I just wanted to see it written down After the rest of the bills are paid, I've got about twenty one quid to my name until the end of the month, but the cupboards are full, there's nothing I need and there is not a person in the world with a claim on those twenty one quids - they're all mine

Ida Notion many dancing rodents (conga rats) on being debt free :beer::beer::beer:
