Lose Weight 21

efrieze

missyg so jealous of your time!

Needed to post a letter up the road - made it into a quick 1.5 mile (2.5km) run instead of jumping in the car.All these different things keep life full of new experiences!

Raph - was the vodka partly to blame do you think? I had a 3lb gain the other week and it was all gone the week after - hope you have the same (or better!)

More than partly I think!! Oh well, I'm on half rations this week, as I can't get to the shops til Sat and my cupboards are running bare. (Nuts! Just remembered I've swapped a shift on Sat, so it won't be til Sunday!!) So that should help it drop off!

Missyg, I was young (19) and frivilous - watch went in the bin as I got a new one as a present off someone! The new MSE me would never do such a thing!

We're flying next Tuesday morning (a week today!) at 10am Japan time - which means we have to be in the airport just before 8am. We're leaving our apartment at 7am :eek: We've got an hour and a half stop over in Hong Kong which will be interesting - I've never been there.

Very much a case of mixed feelings. It will be fun to show OH the UK and for him to meet all my family and friends. However I've lived in Japan all of my adult life and it's normaility to me - I think it's going to be a big culture shock for us both to live in the UK. I LOVE my job here - I'm really attached to all my rugrats and all my friends are here (I fell out of touch with a lot of my friends back home) so I think it's going to be tough.

BrightonBelle, OH works in a clinic at the moment (he has an acupuncture and moxibustion licence) however that licence is not valid in the UK. He also has a chef licence (that was his part time job when he was studying for his acunpuncture licence) and that is valid in the UK - so we're hoping he can get a job in a Japanese restaurant.

The move is 100% temporary - there's no doubt in my mind about that! I'm studying for a masters in education (primary). It was previously a diploma however the government decided to change it to a masters from this academic year (as a result of the "Childrens Report" they want all primary school teachers to have a masters qualification). It was a nightmare to get a place - very competitive, 1,000 people made it to the interview stage and 250 places were available. After I finish the masters I'll do a years probation teaching - after that we're planning to move to Australia.

I wish I had fallen off a sea horse - it would have been a lot less painful! :rotfl: I went for a horse riding lesson in Sydney and the instructor gave me a MONSTER horse! It's back was much taller than me :eek: - I had to use a step ladder to get on the saddle. Anyways - whilst practicing a quick trot I lost my balance and promptly went flying off! Not cool!

KPC, thanks for that link! :rotfl: genius! As for the weight loss - all of the evil fat cells are having a party around my thighs, hips and bottom! After I reach my 2nd mini target I will no longer be "overweight" for my height - I'll be at the top range of the correct weight for my height. The 3rd mini target is tentative as I've never been within the correct weight range (as an adult) so I've no idea what I'll look like - I may wish to lose a bit more.

FFM - it's surprisingly fast (faster than my mountain bike as it has a lighter frame and thinner tyres). However doesn't look cool at all - I'd get mocked if I went about in one of those in Scotland!

tagz - I'm renowned in my family for having a "sick sense of humour" - I'd been on the floor crying from laughter if I was there when that women said that!

yay oh is back from the war today!

he did a veterans day sho down in wiltshire. I haven't seen him last thursday morning so it will be nice to have him back . . .before he disappears off to do a site visit friday to sunday. still, i'm sure it will all pay dividends. I hada mini first last tnight - i sat and read all evening . . .without snacking at the same time. It had become totally automatic to eat whilst reading, and of course, i just shovel it in with no real regard for how much i'm eating. so i was quite pleased with that. must go, need to weed and feed the grass( can't call it a lawn) before heading to work

Gave up on Sunday night and stuck a nappy on - forgot to bring his potty to the resteraunt with us and was fed up running - think it was a mistake.... as

we left him in creche yesterday and it was 3/3 accidents... Oh well, I'd only packed 1 pair of trousers & socks short1

Today we're taking his potty in with us....and hoping for better results.

Long old day ysterday, spent a good 5 hours in the car in the end, but still got home to see the end of the Tennis, I have to admit I had thought he down and out as well.

Well Done Missy, you sprinter you, I guess efrieze and myself can just sit back and watch you go flying by??

Now now ladies all this talk about short skirts was having an effect on poor old me

Sorry about the gains Lois and Raph, Well done young bean and jay. Good to back form you Kenny sounds to me that the ladies missed you!!

What about a target exercise one?

Go on explain, I dont understand

How about one about weight loss history - e.g. has the weight problem occurred in middle age, since having a baby, due to a health problem, or since childhood?

Sounds good just got to work it out in my head?

As the ball is rolling re: the meet...maybe a 'which area would you prefer?' Type of poll?

I think Bails is sorting that one

PinkLipgloss wrote: »

suggs - don't know if this has been done before but how about a poll about plans that ppl are on with options such as "Slimming World", "Aitkens", "Weight Watchers", "calorie counting on my own" etc?

This has been done before but it was also my favourite senisble one

right, I have some notes to write up, so back soon
