Piq's fat drop
Day 1: Started. Scales horrific. Haven't eaten anything yet and it's already 8:18am - go me!

But my dear, what time did you get up? Oh 8:17, I hear you say so a whole minute with no food :rotfl: Go Piq go :j

Don't forget breakfast is the most important meal of the day

8:16, actually :rotfl:I'm tucking into a bowl of hot porridge and blueberries at the moment. Lunch will be a Pr£t special, hopefully the hot falafal and haloumi wrap. Dinner? No idea yet, probably leftovers:)

Still snowing, best I leave for work a bit earlier.

Ohhh I LOVE the falafel and halloumi wrap. Almost tempted to get the bus into town just to get one!!

I am currently waiting on the sofa to feel better. Had a peach today and a snooze

Oh Piq, I understand completely when you say that you are a different person now; we most certainly do evolve, and yet I appreciate that right now it seems that the only way to rid yourself of the Demon Debt is to become that person again, and wear suits, and talk corporate speak. If there was ever anyone who could make a go of self employment I am typing to her now.......and yet without a backer even that seems a remote possibility. Did you ever visit Memory Girls blog? Now there is one tenacious lady - talk about overcoming adversity.

Many years ago I really didn't know which way to turn....I was proper skint, went without food (no debt by then thank God, had paid it off but learnt a valuable lesson. Its so easy to get into debt and so hard to get out of it). I was lonely and miserable. I felt that life was passing me by and that everyone out there had lovely lives and mine would never improve. But do you know what? It did. People like us (women at the peak of our womaninless) are never on our uppers for long, it just seems that way now. I absolutely guarantee that things WILL change. We will be here when that happens and I just hope that cyberspace can cope with the messages of love and congratulation that we will send you.

It's a long, hard slog, no mistake............but you WILL get there.

The Oracle Dorothy (of the magic hat and belly dancing fame) has spoken. FACT

Snagggles

Dorothy, that's lovely, and so positive. And a little bit nuts (magic hat and belly dancing? I don't think I dare ask :rotfl: )!

Here I am, back again! After a day at work yesterday I was, again, crippled with pains in my hips, knees, and, as an added extra, the bottoms of my feet. Once sitting down it was a painful and slow chore to get off the sofa. Today is a little better but I am very slow to move, painkillers take the edge off, but don't make it easier to move.

Strangely enough, the Captain is lame too. I rode him in walk for a while but we were both too stiff! His lameness is just the cold, combined with old age and will come right once the weather warms up and dries up. Hopefully, the same can be said for me too. He has a nice deep bed of straw and a double rug on to keep warm tonight.

I mucked out ten stables this morning as an awful lot of folk seem to have gone down with the lurgy. It took ages as I couldn't get moving properly. Still, it's done now.

Poor Colin got chased by an angry robin when he tried to eat the bird seed. The bird definitely meant business. Colin shot up the garden at a fair rate of knots, then sat with his back to the bird seed and robin and looked like he was pretending he didn't know they were there. He also did the embarrassed cat washing thing. I wished I'd had my camera to hand, it was a one in a million scenario.

Piq's fat drop
Day2: Have stuck to the diet for at least 24 hours, am probably at least 5lbs lighter. Yesterday I had the falafal and haloumi wrap for lunch, as snagggles says it is delicious! Dinner was jacket potato with leftover butternut squash chilli with a dollop of low fat creme fraiche. Same again tonight.

I got an orange and some blueberries from work so made orange and blueberry pancakes for breakfast, same again tomorrow with leftover batter. Lunch was kale and vegetable soup with an apple. At the moment I am craving chocolate, but haven't got any, so can't have it! Surely the weight is falling off already and my suits will be hanging off my emaciated frame by Friday.

Well done with the diet Piq! I've lost another 3lbs this week, so feel very noble and relatively thin! Only half a million lbs to go! Maybe think of it as a Lent diet - then you can see the end of the tunnel!

NewLeaf_2

wow that sounds delicious and and healthy

grannyx2

Oh dear your diet notes are so amusing, a bit Bridget Jones like, perhaps you could write a sequel

Hope you feel better this evening, sounds like you are pushing yourself rather hard, so please take care x

For some reason when you write Colin in small writing, (as I've tried to do here) it shows as larger text on my laptop instead of small. It's making me giggle at the stories even more than I normally would.

Your food for the last 2 days has sounded so yummy, I could eat it all and not miss the chocolate at all.
