:A moi?!

Today exercise... :j :j :j :j :j

Phew.. that was exhausting!!

My legs are feeling a bit better.. but I am RAVENOUS!!!

ooohhh.. just remembered DS2's nurse is meant to be phonging in the morning.. best write myself a note or I'll forget.. done that.

I don't think my scales like me.. according to them I am gaining lard at an alarming rate!! And I am physically unable to do anything about it!!

M.E.

Dear Pigpen

Like you my exercise is limited, yours is arthritis, mine is because of M.E.
Floating and wobbling in a warm swimming pool does help... IF i have the energy to get there and get changed... know what I mean
40 steps across a room is a hell of a lot when your body is on a go-slow.

When I was first diagnosed I was eating very little and still put on weight. Doctor told me in no uncertain terms that I was physically anorexic but without the mental hardship that goes with it. In other words my body was shutting down because it hadn't enough fuel. I had to eat more and rebalance the vitamins/minerals that my body couldn't cope with. That meant juicing fruit/vegetables.
I eat healthily, but need now to have smaller portions, NOT go without meals.
So I will be a slow loser.

Quality not quantity.

Hello everyone.

Well apart from racing down my grandmas home stairs (light switch is on a timer and shes on the top floor) I have had a serious lack of exercise today. Plan to make up for it tomorrow tho, going to attack our scary cellar amongst other stuff. We're trying to clear it out (and dry it out a bit) before christmas so we can fit a freezer down there. Anyway that should involve carrying lots of junk..oops I mean incredibly useful stored stuff :rotfl: up steep steps and plenty of running away from the spiders, ugh!

Breakfast: Weetabix with ss milk and sugar.
Lunch: Four cream crackers with a little bit of cheese.
Dinner: HM sausage plait with mashed potatos. HM jam slice for pud.
Snacks: Two small squares of HM flapjack, two weathers originals, two ginger nuts (not all at once!)

Plan on actually buying some scales on my next trip to town for some reason we have none in my house. Unless they're hiding in the cellar.

Oh Mrs Mc,:hello:
Today I sat watching the Rememberence day ceremonies from London on the T V and I was so choked up thinking of all those lovely lads and lasses who are no longer with us,please give that hubby of yours that you love so much a BIG hug from me and I hope and pray that he and all the others keep safe,contrary to some press reports there are many many of us in the U K who respect and appreciate everything they do.:T :T :T :T :T :T


Your Recipe for corned beef hash looks very tasty,a previous post mentioned just potatoes onions and corned beef,that is what is commonly known up here in Manchester and the north west as 'tater hash' again traditionaly served up with pickled red cabbage or beetroot.a very cheap but filling meal.
Hi frogga ,hope you and your tadpoles are all well .
good luck to every other struggling di---r out there .

Good morning all

Many congrats to all you losers! Those of us hanging in by the skin of our teeth......here's to a better week :-)

Stayed the same weight which I'm happy about. I've instructed my DH to throw me out of the house when he returns home in order to get some much needed exercise. But oh its sooooo cold here in Sweden.

Take care and have a good day all

Morning ladies :j

Well i have just gob smacked myself
Got up this morning and had my weetabix... looked out of the window and it looked a bit soggy..but last night i told myself i was going for a walk today -like it or not ...so i went on the great umbrella hunt -hate the damn things..... opened the door and it was peeing it down -and i still went out:p

5 mins into walk..someone somewhere turned a hose pipe on..it bucketed down...I figured i was wet now so may as well carry on :rolleyes: ...we then progressed to sleet...then it turned to hail...ouch and finally to snow flakes....the size of 10pences :rotfl: ...
I tootled into the store to get a couple of extra carton of milk and some apples... and it was that bl**dy cold i picked up a hat, scarf n gloves set :eek: i haven't worn them since i was about 6 years old.. but the gloves n scarf went on as soon as i got through the checkout :rotfl: -have no intention of wearing the hat EVER ... so thats my exercise for today :A and now im sat here by the radiator watching the snow :T but its too wet for it to settle ..poo

Madsmum.... come on wrap up and "out you go":rotfl: ... whats your weather doing at the moment? Im finding that once you have been out for a couple of mins it doesn't seem that bad... mind you i get mine over n done with in the morning.. far too snuggly n cosy in the evenings ...
Well done on staying the same...

Good lord Frogga...don't tellme we have found something else you might like :eek: .... Can you remember the peanut boost? they were sooo sickly.. mind the coconut one was yummy.
Hope you are ok getting all the way to work on the bike today.. is this the first time you will have done the whole journey? good luck mrs :T

This is it... amazing how one comment can send so many of us running for the fridge isn't it!!!!
Still - well done on only having the one Kitkat... hope it satisfied you....

Thanks for your thoughts .... hopefully now the chance of hubby having to goout to Iraq/Afgahanistan are pretty remote :T .. he has done his full 22 years and should have been out earlier this year, but they asked if he would stay an extra year.. but hubby said No as all when you are in the last 2 years of service the army give you an allowance to retrain in another profession and time off to do it in..well hubby chose excavator operator, got his liecence but you have to rack up so many hours of experience in the 1st 2 years to keep your liecence..so hubby would lose it... so he said he would stay if offered 2 years (cos then they give you the allowance again;) ) and they offered him 5 years ... by which time he will be 48 and he will leave with a lump sum enough to pay our mortgage off :T and a part pension that would be about £400 a month now... and it only gives him 7 years ..as at 55 he goes onto full pension which is something like 9/10ths of what his rank are earning then:T
He has done gulf 1 and 2, Ireland, kosovo, bosnia amongst others ..but im soooo grateful he hasn't had Afghanistan..:D .... he looked so smart yesterday..although i prefer to see the lads in their everyday uniform....the camouflage jobbies

AHHH... my mums hash used to be just potato/onion n corned beef..which is lovely but i prefer it with the extras in it..plus you can either have a bigger portion asd the onions, carrots, celeriac n swede are very low cal..or have your normal sized portion and save cals.... i mean 1 tin of corned beef to make 12 portions isn't bad at all -and it is plenty.. i think any more would make it to greasy n rich for me...

When my sis way at Uni she lived in a big old house in Notts and she was by the front door and the shared bathroom upstairs...there was no way to hit the light switch and get to the bathroom before you were plunged into darkness... it used to terrify me :rotfl:
I love having a freezer and fridge in the basement.... it saves loads of space ..plus you can put stuff "out of sight" down there... so stuff isn't tempting you every time you open the fridge door for the milk to make a cuppa ... the fridge/freezer in the kitchen is kept fairly empty.... plus running up n down stairs for stuff all adds up on the exercise count :T

M.E.. my mum has osteo and rhumatoid arthrytis (sp)... and so her mobility is restricted too... so she used to eat less than a sparrow..but still not lose weight.. now we have got her back into eating more and more variety..she is steadily losing hers... she got to target with WW.. but gained a little back... but at least now she is eating better..and feeling better..

Meanmarie.. HM xmas puds... i became addicted to mine last year :rotfl: has to have cream though.. not custard or brandy butter etc... ooodles of extra thick organic cream...ooops sorry was i :drool: oops
This year as we are going home i am making NONE ... no puds, no cakes, although i have a couple of jars of HM mincemeat from last year that im taking so mum can make some pies... so less temptation for me :dance: .. I will miss them but not as much as if i had one to try..that would ake me want them more

well ladies i had better go and get a cuppa and get some warm..dry clothes on..yes im still sat here in my soggy clothes:eek: ..see... talking to you guys was more improtant i will now go and peel off this soggy lot and get the snuggly clothes off the bathroom radiator... ooohh i was prepared...

well keep up the good work everyone...
oh will be speaking to my mum in a moment, will get the recipe for Autumn slice of her and post it ASAP..

talk to you later

SUNDAY

Right, that's a line drawn under yesterday!!

Today I've had porridge for brekkie and I'm starving!! Just had a banana but might have to have another....:eek:
I've got a wholemeal roll with a bit of cheese, lots of beetroot and salad for lunch with grapes for after. Tea was to be bubble and squeak with leftovers from yesterday but there are no leftovers!!!! :eek: I might have glamorgan sausage and SW chips.
It's FREEZING here, and typical, the heating's broken down at work!!
Hope everyone's having a nice day!! :A :A
