Slimming World Support for Summer 2014

Maisie_M

Just a quickie post for me.

Congratulations to those who have lost and lots of hugs for those who need them.

Annie - can you put me down for 4lbs off please so that should be 6lbs in total. Thanks.

Congratulations Maisie!

Frogga - so sorry, I got an infection after a tooth removal and it was horrible and wasn't even one of those dry ones so I can only imagine how painful it is. Being in pain is probably making your other thoughts worse.

I'm sure many of us can relate to losing a beloved pet. They are such an important part of your life and when they are no longer with us it's so hard, especially in the early days.

And it's making me sad about your tadpoles too! My eldest is only 2.5 but I know my job is to keep her happy and healthy and prepare her for life but she's already so much more independent than I would like sometimes! I am telling my baby boy at 6 months that he has to stay with me forever... Perhaps I'd better cut that out when he starts to understand what I'm saying!

I wanted my standard branflakes for breakfast but we are out of milk. So it's a Tesco run first and then I might know what I'm eating today! Hubby is better so might actually cook for us both today - the courgette is all ready for stuffing.

Morning all
Currently house sitting in the beautiful countryside so lots of inspiration for long healthy walks, bike rides and maybe a jog or 2. Already been out for 30 mins with the house dog.
On plan since weigh in, went out for meal last night and had steak salad and jacket, used my syns on 2 lovely glasses of wine.
On my own today so going to tackle some writing tasks I need to get done
Happy Saturday everyone :j

Morning Meg,

I'm another early riser. Rodney woke me up at 4.30 because he was lonely downstairs on his own so I came down :mad: and tried to be happy about it. I do like walking across the fields at that time though as it's very peaceful. He never used to be 'needy', but since his brother died, he just doesn't like being on his own.

The tooth saga has taken another turn. Wouldn't you just believe it, nothing is ever simple. I've got a 'dry socket infection' ?? Apparently the blood clot that should have formed for some reason didn't, leaving the hole exposed, hence the infection. It's flipping painful I can tell you. The dentist said it would be for about 5-6 days. She said I'm not being a wuss, it is excruciating (I know I'm not a wuss, I had 2 tadpoles without pain relief!). Ho hum.

So I've been feeling sorry for myself again. But I haven't binged. I thought about it last night. I was going to have some toast, with dairylea on it, and then an ice-cream. And then I was gonna have a scone or two that are still in the tub. Then I thought I might have some chocolate from my drawer. But I couldn't be bothered to get of the setee so I didn't. And then the urge went away. So thank goodness I'm such a lazy fat frog

My head is a bit mashed up at the moment. I keep crying at the drop of a hat. Lots of things have mashed it recently. My whippet Del dying, cleaning out the loft and seeing all the 'memories', my sore tooth, and the Tadpoles keep talking about when they leave home. It feels like lots of things are changing, and I don't like it. I like things like they are now.

I really like my Tadpoles, but they've got legs now, and their tails are getting shorter, and soon, they'll be hopping off to another pond. And I just can't bear the thought of not living with them anymore. It never occurred to me before. I mean I know children do grow up and move away, but I never thought about it. But it will happen. And I won't see them in the morning, or after school, and we won't watch the telly together in the evening. And it will just be me and Mr Frog. And they'll love someone else more than me. It doesn't feel right? They haven't got their bags packed or anything, but they keep talking about it all happy and excited and it's horrible. I bought them up to be independent, and to want to live life to the full. And now they flipping well are, and they're doing it without me!

Maybe it's just my sore tooth that's making me sad. I think I think too much about things. I think I'm just scared of the future, in case I don't like it. The past is another country. And if I don't like the future, I might not be able to find my passport and get back there. I probably threw it out when I cleaned out the loft

The best thing I can do is stay in control of my eating, and hopefully everything else will fall into place. I wonder if I would be able to cope with all these things if I were happy with my weight? That would at least be one thing?

Have a good day all. I'll stay on track today. Well, I'll genuinely try.

So sorry you are in so much pain hugs


I was like you, dreading my two leaving, but it turned out not so bad, they visited bring this one and that until they met their permanent one and then JOY OH JOY they gave me grandchildren and it was just like having them little again only more of them.


You soon find yourself in demand again, I loved babysitting and having them overnight and the baking, crafting painting making mess times. Now the Grandchildren are older and though the youngest, 14 still comes to stay it wont be long before he too goes adventuring. The older one 18 is courting strong and very busy right now.


But I know that one day they will be back with their own littlies and though I will probably be too old to do babysitting and other stuff, I will surely try and if not OH MY I could still give a cuddle..


So cheer up dear frogga you have these joys to look forward too.

sounds good to me - thanks steffie
Do we need to put our actual weights on here, or just the losses??(hopefully)
I'm currently on week 2 of the couch to 5k fitness programe too.

Yey! Thats great
I'm on holiday next week so wont be able to get on here that often, I'll pm you though
I'll probably put my weight and losses on here, it doesnt bother me too much disclosing my weight, but its up to everyone as to whether they do or not, personal preference
that fitness programme sounds good, is that the foodforlife/fitforlife thing the nhs does??

Going to spend all week playing catch up though. At a party tonight and I'm flexi synning, seeing friends I haven't seen in years so I'm going to have a day off entirely.

All the stuff for superfart soup and savoury mince in, as well as loads of fruit and salad, so I will start afresh tomorrow.

Wow thank you had no idea pickles were ok assumed as they are processed they would be high n syns

No, basic pickles in brine or vinegar are fine. What you can't have (unless synned) are things in oil like many of the antipasti or sweet pickle/chutneys which probably have oil and sugar in them. Olives have syns too:(but not that many.

I often tell myself exactly that frogga. My food/wine intake is something that I can control whereas many other things in life I can't. It makes me feel much stronger.:) My DDs have long flown the nest. It takes some adjusting to at the time but I enjoy the next phase, allows me to be a bit more selfish.;)


I've done this week's meal plan and shopping list and will set off in a while. Should be totally on plan for a few days but it's our wedding anniversary on Wednesday so that's likely to be my next off-plan episode.


Today's EE menu:


B: NAS Ribena, HEB porage, HA milk
L: not sure but may treat myself to a smoked salmon fillet and stir fry some veggies
SW burger. SW chips, fried onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and green beans
Syns: squirt of syrup, weekend wine

Hi everyone,

Starting to feel like I'm getting into the swing of things now & managed my first cycle to work in months (though it nearly killed me!).

EE today - does it sound ok?:
B- Eggs, mushrooms, bacon(2), beans, watermelon
L- macaroni, dairylea light (half of HEA), carrots, cauli, broccoli, 2x Asda reduced fat cumberland sausage (3)
D- haddock (breaded (HEB) with milk (other half of HEA) as OH is allergic to eggs) with SW chips & mushy peas or salad

Snacks- mullerlight cappuccino, orange, frozen grapes
Syns - bacon (pretty lean anyway but left the fat on), sausage. Saving some syns for Monday as I'm going to a Thai restaurant with friends.

I'm finding it really hard not to weigh myself at home each morning. I think I'm just really nervous to what the scales will say on Wed as it's my first week & I feel like I'm just forever wanting to eat now I'm trying to be aware of what I'm eating? Bleh, I don't think I make any sense!
