Before u all think i've gone barkin mad and have started bible bashing let me explain. There's this friend of mine called Sid. He's a nice kind of chap really..doesnt say much, only speaks when i tell him to and most of the time he's happy to be locked up in a dark cupboard being ignored. 'How can u be so cruel' i here u scream ! Oh believe me...i bet you've got a friend called Sid too(ok maybe yours is called Fred,Pete,Asshole,B*stard,W*nker and so on and so forth) and i bet u treat him just as horribly as i do. You take him out, wanting to partake in a bit of friendly chit-chat and he spits horrible words at you and you throw him back in his cupboard swearing that you'll leave him in there till he rots !!! The funny thing is, hes actually my best friend and i couldnt imagine living without him. When he's horrible to me it reminds me of when i was a kid actually, like me mum wagging that pointy finger at me saying'You naughty naughty girl. Bad girl. What have you been up to now ?'. I suppose he's only tellin the truth ! Oh dont get me wrong..he can be nice too, but not as often as i'd like him to be. Maybe i should get a new friend..one who lies to me to make me feel bettter. Naaaaa,maybe not...i'll just stick with Sid...Sid the Scales,my old and trusted friend. If i'm a really good girl this week then he can whisper sweet nothings in my ear and tell me i've lost another pound or two and i shall forgive him.
just for a change, the week has started off on a positive note. the sun is shining and i went for a very brisk 30 minute walk with the dog and am now feeling full of energy ! i'm gonna need it too cos there's lots to get done today (had a very lazy weekend). got another walk planned for this afternoon so what with that and all the housework i've gotta get done, i shall probably collapse into bed early tonight, just for a change. i've noticed that i really do sleep better if i go for a couple of long walks everyday.....more sleep=more energy=more exercise=happier me :))
made the big mistake of not bloggin the last few weeks and i've screwed up big time. i've decided to change to ww core plan cos i'm sick of countin flippin points all day long.
Went for a check up at the urologists on monday and he says the treatment for the chronic bladder infection seems to be working. fingers crossed that it stays that way i've been pain free for a week which is pure heaven to me and something i'm not used to !
diet wise, its been a pretty good week. got on the scales this morning and found i'd lost another 500g. must be all that time i'm spending building up the new site...no time to snack or binge in between meals which is a good thing !
anyway..i'm off for some breakfast...an omelette with tomatoes me thinks :)
Crikey !!! I haven't blogged for a whole week...naughty me. I've pretty much managed to stay on track though, just did'nt get any exercise in this week. I was busy most of the time setting up my new weight watchers recipe site at piczo. If i would have known it takes up this much time i wouldn't have bothered,lol. anyway...gonna dash..off for an early night cos i've gotta be at the specialists at 7.00am tomorrow, for another check up.
Nearly went off track today. i have been sooooo hungry that i could have eaten the proverbial scabby horse,lol. i cooked pasta carbonara for my DS and he decided all of a sudden that he wasnt really hungry and would eat it later. i couldn't resist having a couple of nibbles and b4 consuming the whole plateful i put it in the oven, so i wouldnt keep nibbling from it every time i went past...out of sight, out of mind as they say. so..no harm done really. we're celebrating my DS 15th today and i'm cooking one his favourites...fillet steak with bearnaise sauce, crispy onion rings and croquettes with broccoli and a salad. guess who's not gettin any sauce and crispy onions ?? gonna have a tiny piece of cake though..it would be downright rude not to have any cake..don't u think
Woohoo ! Saturday at last. I seemed to have spent most of my time at the doctors in the last couple of days, but it was worth it. After suffering from repeated bladder/kidney infections for the last year(each one being treated with high dose antibiotics) the urologist that i went to see told me that i had a chronic bladder infection, that wouldnt clear up with just short courses of antibiotics(yeah i noticed that !). so i've been prescribed a 3 month long course of very low dose antibiotics which should do the trick.
food wise....been pretty good ! i've managed to resist all sorts of things the last couple of days....i made a cake and popcorn for the lads and didn't take one single bite, cos i knew if i started, i wouldn't be able to stop ! and i've only eaten 2 packets of crisps this week and i luuuuuuurv crisps ! crisps with a sarnie, crisps with soups, crisps with crisps, lol. oh..and then there was the chinese that we ordered yesterday...i stuck to my portion and didnt devour everything on the table just because it was there and i'd paid for it ! i dont know where all this bloody willpower came from but i hope he's gonna stay around for a while !
anyway, i'm off for a treat now ....a hair pack, a face pack, a glass of red wine and a good book in the bath.
i'm just poppin in to wish u all a great day and yes !...u read it right..i'm gonna be famous !! i'm going to the urologist this morning to get my bladder examined ...the paparazzi will be taking photos with a a mini spy camera so maybe i'll get on the front cover of OK magazine,lol. okaaayy...its only the doctor with a mini camera but u neva know
i am absolutely DREADING it !!! i will report back lata.
today was one of those days where nothing much happened. every time my hubby rang me up and asked 'anythin new ?' he got the same answer: 'not much'.
it was sooooooo boring and i was so tired that i couldn't even be bothered to do something about it ! eating wise, it went pretty well....i had a fruit breakfast, a raw lunch then ended up having 2 fried eggs with tomatoes for dinner cos i fancied it....SO THERE ! still...at least it was something healthy and i definately needed some protein. oh, i nearly forgot the 8 french fries that i pinched off my son at lunchtime (yep, i counted them,lol). i actually managed to refrain from ordering myself a portion which is another small miracle. all in all it was a pretty good day foodwise. the rest was just crap.
So, here we are at the beginning of a new week and i can officially confirm that i have lost it ! I mean some weight of course..hehe. I managed to lose the 2ibs that i lost,then gained again within a matter of a week. Actually it was a bit more than 2ibs, it was 2.64 ibs(1.2kg) to be exact but who's counting (ME !) i'll take every blimmin ounce i can get at the moment. Maybe going on the cross trainer every night has helped to shift it so quickly, Who knows ?Who cares ?
I didn't really count calories either. I just made sure that 2 of my meals were 'raw' vegan meals and ate when i was hungry but no junk food. Tonight i've got the raw vegan version of Angel Hair Pasta with Pesto which is yummy and almost better than the 'real' thing.
I'm starving, so i'm off to NOT cook dinner, if u know what i mean ! then it's 6km on the crosstrainer, a shower then an early night for me. need some beauty sleep !
