Samba

well almost another week done on slimming world and i'm still feeling good, slightly relaxing on how strict i've been being on myself, and i know its a bit early into the programme to become balsé and say i know what i'm doing, because it know thats where i always go wrong, but looking what i have been eating and what i'm eating now, i have to lose weight.

i've almost completly cut out bread. well no thats a lie, but i've gone mainly to small size wholemeal. white bread at weekends then WW white toasty.

Loving Quorn as well at the mo. its defo helping me on Slimming world.

we've decided to be more adventuous and although its very wrong we have been lying to my Papa and feeding him quorn and bless him, i don't know if he knows and is playing along or he genuinly hasn't noticed but the Quorn Moussaka was better the day after as all the "meat" juices had run out into everything else!!! and the Quorn Chassure went down a treat as well!!!

This week will be Quorn Cannelloni and all free on Green Days!!! wooo

i want to start being more active. i really want to start walking, something i reallt don't do unless its around the shops.

My excuse is the time i get home from work and the weather. but i'm gonna go for a walk round Dovestones at some point, the flat way is about 3miles and thats how far race for life is so i know i can do it!!!! once the weather improves!!!

one thing i have been doing this weekend is the Wii, i'm sure loads of you have these and know how much fun they are, but ours has been out of action for way too long!!! just laziness.

not sure if i said on this blog or my HSMSHS one what games i've been playing.

A while ago my mum saw Samba De Amigo game advertised. but it was about £37 ouch. i saw it in Tesco for £19 but when we went to the Till it was full price. but the other week in Sainsburys it was on offer at £9.99!!!! wooooooooooooooooooo!!!! i tried it the other day but couldn't get it to callabrate for me.but mama fixed it tonight. i was holding the wiimote wrong!!! doh!!! Well OMG how much fun is this game!!! i said Wii Family Ski was good, but wow this was fab. mama and i was playing on bits of games from 9.30pm -11 ish then we we're going to bed. When i mentioed i couldn't get the game to work for me. well we weree playing it till1.10am!!! haha bits of training then single player games. mini games. Boy does it make you work!!! defo gonna play this for the next few weeks!!!!

Week 1. 1000000

Week 1 a rip roaring sucess i lost 3½ lbs!!! wow!!! i'm so glad it was a loss!!!!

i've set this weeks Target at 2lbs but really i'd like it to be more!!!

BUT

a loss is a loss and as long as it's in the right direction i'll be pleased.

Slimming world seems to be easier than i remeber!!!!


i still love ww and if i could easily get to a class i would go back, but for now i'll try to SW.

i've dug the wii back out, did skiing last night, and some figure skating amongst other things tonight!!!

and i'm getting back on track with my HSMSHS Blog as well. i love HSMSHS. makes me use my camera much more, i'm sure my friends will say thats a bad thing but i love it!!! hehe

Dentist

Finally had my root canal filling done today!!! oh was a odd sensation!!!!!!!

My dentist was running late so another dentist did my injection. she was really nice, gave me some numbing gel before she injected me. had about 6-8 injections in my gun n roof of mouth ouchy!!!

the pain went straight to my sore eye. which has now gone worse!!

when i got in the dentish chair, he stretched this odd purple plastic sheet over my mouth to isolate the tooth was such an odd sensation, while he was sorting it out it was over mu nose and i was having odd almost hallusinations!!! but only for a couple of mins!!!

The actual treatment althiugh quite scary was no where near as bad as i expected, but after i was all weak n shaky!!!

My mum had wanted to go in Bolton but i was really bad so we came straight home, at home i felt a bit better had some food cos i was starving but don't think it was a good idea as caused more pain than i was in. am doped up on pain killers but not sure they are a good idea on limited food as i now have a dodgy belly!!!!!

am meant to be in work tomorrow, L sent me a message saying she'd go mad if i phoned in sick tomorrow, but i really can not face 10 hours with this pain!!!!

Happy Smiley People Holding Hands

Even though work is pretty crummy at the mo i've had a really good day. Had a little chat with the Boss J S-M and we're having a three hour meeting on Monday to discuss my workload. Pretty sure i'll be put on an Action Plan. its not a good thing, but i need him to understand that i am not supergirl, and i do not know half the things he thinks i do!!! Had quite a productive day really. Even if it didn't finish the Elexon Spready. i managed to find time (took 3 hours n J S-M doesn't realise this!!!) to sort out my Master Spready. but now instead of 15 tabs i have 2!!!
sad talking about work on my blog, but who else can i talk to about it!!!!

Anyway WW Wise i really like this cartoon <- pass me the Gun!!!!! Food today: B- 1 slice of cheese toast, 2 slices of normal toast S - Cereal Bar D - Cornbeef butty, Grapes S - grapes n a fruit box T - Chicken, oven chips, coleslaw n gravy (mas combo i know and papa's idea!!) S - Toast!!! Discovered Sainsburys BGTY cereal bars 1 point!!!!! Tesco Finest brown bread really chunky slices and 1.5 points each!! we've bought sainsburys own baked bread today and its nice but has no NVs!!!
Another Great cartoon from Kathy Thorn - >

Another thing i want to blog is about me and my head.

and what a mixed up head i have.

Why am i such a moron?!

when someone like me (like that) and i like them a bit but not much, i let them get on my nerves and i'm not mean to them but i have no time or patience for them!

but when there is someone i like (like that) and he is a mate and there could possibily be something there one day (a big maybe!?!?!) i find my self all giddy n girlie, why can not i like someone who likes me for me and not hanker after someone who is potentially out of my reach (and league).

is it so wrong to want to be wanted by someone i want?

i've been thinking of that allday and couldn't think how to word it and it just popped out!!! its quite a carrie bradshaw question. but its the truth!!

what is at the crux of my problem is my insecurites, my inability to trust a man, i think that any man (on a night out) is talking to me for a joke, pull the fat/ugly bird contest and i put up this brick wall, that is iron clad with a top coat of titanuim. even the sharoest of cupids arrow will not penitrate its hardened shell!!!!

i think when i've lost weight it'll be differnt, but i'm not so sure it will be.

i am a fook up

after having a really good day!!! i fooked up.

Breakfast: Cereal Bar

Snack: 2 baby apples

extra piggy: full terries chocolate orange!!!!! (why oh why did i have this) i was very full n cos it was there and i ate it all, inhaled it is a more acurate discribtion and now i feel really sick and i feel like i have really let myself down!!!!

Manchester

I love Manchester City Centre so much!!! I hate the crowds but it is such a pretty place.

No may people may not agree when you look at the purpose built arndale, but if you stop n look at the buildings like Primark, Debenhams, the triangle and the catherdal they are beautiful.

Once again i fell off the Wagin with a rather loud thud leaving an enormous dent in the tarmac beneath me!!!!!

looking on the boards at people who started their diets in Jan when i originally re-started for the millionth time i see how far they have come and that green eyed monster rears its little head again!!!!

Stolen from WW boards

That piece of cake I saved is near;
One big slice I have no fear;
Besides no pounds will even show;
I’ve got seven days to go!


A day of shopping, off we go;
For a takeaway lunch, it’s cheaper you know;
I’ll walk it off, I have no fear!
Six days to go – there’ll be no weight gain here!


I think I’ll skip my tuna lunch
A corned beef sandwich is what I’ll munch
Tuna’s getting expensive you know…
Besides I’ve got five days to go!


For breakfast…one egg, bacon, toast, and juice…
Kids left their sausages...oh what’s the use?
With inflation, to waste is a sin…
Besides its four days till I weigh in!


Boy, this weekend is really rough,
Restaurant menus are unbelievably tough!
I’ll work this steak off…have no fear!
In just three days it’ll disappear!


Breakfast – I’ll just have coffee today…
Maybe I’ll lose more that way!
Supper a little extra I’ll eat…
Two days before the scales I meet!


Now my nerves are really a wreck…
I might as well eat…what the heck!
I’ll take two senna late tonight…
One day to go…it’ll be all right!


I can’t afford to eat…no way!
Six trips to the loo might save the day…
I gained four pounds…wouldn’t you know?
Guess I didn’t have seven days to go!!!!!!



This sums me up exactly!!!! Bryer put it on the boards and i had to steal it, hope u don't mind as its thursday night i WI in about 8 hours and i know i have gained i have every intention of being good, think i need to re-join a class, but where!!!

contemplating a trip to the darkside

AKA Slimming World.

I <3 WW and i know it works but i'm just not motivated by it, but not wantitng give up.

My mum got a SW mag at tescos tonight and i've not ready properly it had a bloke who's lost 24st in 2 years and an 11 yr old girl whos lost 5 stone in a yr!!!!


i've had a go with SW before and it didn't work out as my dad didn't get the idea of meat or veg but now i know that u can use Quorn on green days i will be fine, could live off quorn, spuds, green bens and strawberries!!!!

haha i'm gonna have a mooch round there web page

still gonna use the boards and keep my feet in the ww door


i'm just watching a programme about 9/11 hotel and it makes me feel so sad and angry and i keep crying.

such a waste of so many lives,

i can't believe its 7 years since the day it happened.

iits one of those things that you would always know where u where when u found out

i was at work, on a call to a customer when the customer when OMG and said but it was a very odd customer so i didn't beleive them, then one of my colleagues came in a told us, but again he was a joker and no-one beleived him... i remeber everyone trying to call people they knew who was at home to see if they had heard anything

then there was an announcemnt as at the time they did an announcment to say our colleagues in the states where all safe as far as they knew.

at the time we were owned by TXU energy the american power supplier that has since gone bust, i can't be sure where out US offices where but it was an awful feeling knowing what had happend even though i didn't know anyone directly involved, its impossible to imagine what it must have been like for those people who had family and friends involved in the incident.

RIP

Follow me we shall see where i will go

OK once agaihn i'm doing really really rubbish at this WW malarkey and i need to gat back on track.

how may times you may have read this before well now you can follow me saying it over and over again as i have added the follow me application

so if you fancy a laugh add yourself to this list as we can follow each other on the journy!!!!


i promise to get back on track!!!
