We went to the lotty this morning (in the rain) so that OH could see how his spus were doing, he lifted 4 plants and we now have enough spuds to feed an army:doh: :doh: :doh: so this weeks meals will be potato based:rotfl: :rotfl: SW chips for breakfast methinks!

Yay pigpen, well done you!!:T

Was very tempted to weigh myself this morning.... had one of those wonderful but all too rare mornings where I just woke up feeling thinner somehow. Keeping the moment of truth until Monday though..... been to the hairdressers this afternoon so that must be an extra ounce or two and every little helps as Mr T says... or is it Mr S..??!! Also doing a sponsored walk tomorrow in aid of the local hospice which took such good care of a favourite uncle of mine and a friend's mum.....10 miles:eek: which should result in ooooh a good stone or two I would have thought:D treating ourselves to lunch in the pub after, or tea or maybe supper depending how long we take...:p

Glad your feeling more positive frogga, you keep it that way mate!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Hi all!

I joined up on the last thread, and then fell off the wagon..

However, we saw the spinal specialist yesterday, and they said my prolapsed discs aren't prolapsed, its degenerative disc disease, and at my age they wont do much (discs of a 70 year old at 23, its enough to make you weep, and trust me, it did ) cos it costs a fortune.

So after much cursing of the NHS, (not to their faces, they're just people doing their job without enough resources :rolleyes: ) I've taken their advice to lose some weight, and I joined Yoga last night (core stability exercise is good for discs, it seems ) and joined the community leisure centre on a month on month membership.

So...

Tonight is veggie stirfry, medium noodles, non-stick wok so just a wipe of oil

Sunday:

B'fast: Melon
Lunch: Small cheese sandwich
Tea: Roast chicken breast, carrots, cabbage, peas, new pots and green beans

Monday:

B'fast: Cereal bar
Lunch: Cheese salad sandwich
Tea: Away with work, something salady I hope

Tuesday:

B'fast: Toast, bacon
Lunch: Working buffet, stick to sandwiches and fruit
Tea: Something on toast, perhaps?

Wednesday: (Yoga tonight)
B'fast: Cereal bar
Lunch: Sandwich, l/f crisps, nectarine
Tea: Ham salad, new pots, spicy couscous

Thursday:

B'fast: Cereal bar
Lunch: Spicy couscous, fruit
Tea: Greek chicken, pittas, tzadziki, salad

Friday: (Yoga tonight)

B'fast: Fruit
Lunch: Ham salad, walnut dressing
Tea: Spicy tomato and chicken pasta

I'll let you know how I get on! Need to cut back on the alcohol too, the empty calories are huge. So stocked up on tonic water and soda water (I love Lime and Soda) to help.

Will read the rest of the thread for recipes and inspiration now!! Also, if anyone can see where I can do better in my menu, please just post or PM me, all advice gratefully received!

Good luck everyone! :T

Oops just realised you click on that link you get a different page everytime.... hang on I'll find a link that gets her every time

Lol I give up oh well if you hit the link and you get the big picture with Comme de Garcons with a pic of a boy and a girl my baby is the one in the one in the black swimsuit with white writing on her chest.

Aunt Flo has been a cow today and my carp consumption crazy, but I've done a healthy shop and am ready for the next battle in my war :-)

pigpen

saversarn.. is she in the little pic too? if you click the link to the comme de garcons range there is a little pic in the bottom left of the page..?? .. yes she is.. it is a slightly different pic but the same in essence.. do I sense a proud mummy moment there?? ..

saversarn

Oh you saw her yes she is in the little pic too, with black goggles on, not such a nice pic. Funny I only had a look earlier to see if I could see her as she is on holiday and I miss her:rolleyes:

Frogga - I only had one job since leaving University 25 years ago! I got made redundant nearly two years ago and have been living on my redundancy money ever since because I am too scared to apply for anything else, but I will have to soon! I know what you mean about change......

RS, in my time I've done a fair amount of interviewing job applicants. As often as not, the quality of some of the applicants was awful! When it comes down to it, the interviewers are under pressure to appoint somebody - it just depends whether you're the best out of the bunch that presented themselves that particular day. So apply. If you don't get an interview, or if you do and you aren't appointed then don't take it personally. Apply for something else and you will get a job sooner or later. Employers are desperate to find anybody competent, so if you are, you'll get a job quite quickly. The employers are the ones who are desperate, not you!
