Frump to Fab - Sizzling Summer Solstice to Awesome Autumn Equinox

Bitsy_Beans

Hey ladies. Fabbing currently on hold whilst me and h go through the motions (pardon the pun) of the S and D bug that DS had currently feeling like death warmed up, poor kids having to amuse themselves while H and I take turns to go back to bed.

Lots of exercise going on, am pleased so many are getting stuck in. Level 2 of Shred :eek:<faints away>

Thanks Molly it's not been the best week of my life that's for sure :eek::o

Get well soon Bitsy. xxxx

Just back from hairdressers and food shopping.
He's sorted out the colour and it looks all nice and deep dark brown with a hint of red - all glossy and shiny. Just a trim on the length too, so happy with that. On the negative side - he said that if I didn't dye my hair I would now be 90% grey:eek::eek::eek: (he can see all of my roots, not the ones in the parting that I see). I take after my dad who was completely grey/white by 25 - I'm only 40 and too young to be granny grey just yet! The expense and hassle of dyeing will go on for many years to come.:mad:

Get well soon Bitsy and H!

Sparkles - Well done on passing your assignments, and good luck with the next one.

Lizzie - Hope you get your washing machine fixed soon. Yay on signing up for your next OU course.

Pod - How did the wedding go?

I have signed up for my next OU course as well (starting in October), but still have the financial support application to be signed, and sent back on Monday.

I have recently started on some new anti-depressants, but they have left me feeling really 'spaced' and tired, will endeavour to do at least 20 minutes on the exercise bike this evening and I will be going for a walk tomorrow. My appetite has also been reduced the last month or so (but these new tablets also stimulate appetite, so I am trying to be aware of how much I am eating, as I do not want to return to the extreme of constant comfort eating.)

Well done to all those 'shredding', I did try it out, but never got beyond level 1 as I pulled my back! I sold it as it was just too fast paced for me, and replaced it 'The Biggest Loser - New Year New You' which I quite enjoy and can keep up with!

Being kind to myself so far has involved having a quiet day today, and finishing off a book. I have sorted out some more books to sell or to be donated to the charity shop. I have also booked a dentist appointment that I have been putting off for two weeks, as I have a broken tooth.

Bitsy - hope you feel better soon. Plenty of rest!

I'm a happy fabber today as I did week 1, run 1 of couch to 5k. Ok, you run for 1 minute and walk for 90 seconds but I think it's what I need - I've tried running before but can't do it for more than 5 minutes so give up so if I can ease myself into it and keep going, it's got to be worthwhile. I think the next run will be on Tuesday.

I've also planned this weeks meals with much more veg than normal. We had a bbq today but still managed to fit in a few portions so that's better too.

Morning everyone.
Puking has stopped but am feeling totally washed out. So plan today is to plod as slowly as I can, have a shower and pamper myself. Use a bit of moisturiser, put on some make up so I have a bit more colour and sort my hair out!

Not eaten anything yet and don't really want to, oh well good for losing weight I suppose :rotfl:

I think that will be all I can cope with. Have to muster some energy to go and walk the dog in a minute......

Hope you feel better soon bitsy xx

Morning all (hope you're feeling a bit brighter Bitsy).

I went out last night and am definitely a bit worse for wear today - I didn't drink loads and loads but I rarely drink these days so I think my tolerance has dropped off and although I wasn't "drunk" I feel as rough as a badger's ar*e today! I think its lack of sleep and dehydration rather than the booze - I never sleep properly when I've had a drink and didn't go to bed until 2.30am (can't remember the last time I did that). But I had a fab time and laughed a lot so its worth it.
I have a dog and he has no sympathy so I had to go walkies this morning and feel better for it. Walked for 70 mins to pick up the car (left at the pub) - thought I wouldn't make it at one point but plodded on and we got there in the end.:o
That may well be the exercise for the day (other than another smaller dog walk later) unless I have a sudden rush of energy.

Plans for today include a bit of a rest, maybe some school work if I can muster the oomph, cooking something nice for tea and avoiding football at all costs!

So one of my new things for the week can be ticked off - just the exercise thing to try now, can confidently say it won't be today:rotfl::rotfl:

Oh dear Welsh Woofer x
I understand about the dog's complete lack of sympathy. Mine are absolutely dreadful if their routine is upset in any way:eek:

I have not been up to much pampering but am going to sort out my "Barbie" outfits for my holiday. I saw this on another thread where people listed their clothes combinations and gave them a name...

"Beach Barbie"......
"Dog walking Barbie".......
Slobbing around the house Barbie".....You get the idea?

Well I have too many clothes really now :embarasse and get phased when I have to get dressed some mornings. I get panicky when I have to pack and find it highly stressful so thought this might be a good way of organising my wardrobe. That way I can look at my list of options and just select instead of umming and aahhrrring!

Hope you all have a good day x
