Last July Official Weigh In

Drat.. darn.. and all the other stuff that goes with it....

Delicately got on the scales *As if that is going to make any difference, but I live in hope!* and it says 3 lb loss not as much as I wanted... still have another 1.6 to go to make it back to my 4 stone.... why did I have to get poorly... Not only is my body against me but the worlllllllllllllllld.. Do you hear me!

Ok.. so I was a little naughty at the weekend... I did have a small hot dog sausage, some small glasses of champers... brie.. ahh don't make me go on.. it is painful to recall... upset with myself now..... But then again .. on the other hand.. I did have a lovely time.

Not written much this week really have I... see this is the true life of a middle aged woman...!!

Got the lawn done yesterday.. cleaned out the rabbits and have the ironing still to do but these hay fever tabs really do make me tired!!

When I woke this morning to look at my lovely mowed lawn.. the darn mole has been up and made a couple of hills... please don't tell me we are back to finding ways to get rid of it!! We have tried.. traps.. *Dug them back up!*.. broken glass *Dug that back up to!!*... smoke bombs *Don't work* oh lots of things... guess it is the joys of living in the countryside!

Today we are going to Dennly Parc... should be fun.. have to do some ironing grab a shower and get sorted... Might take a picnic... goodness knows what I am going to eat... *Hangs head in shame now before we even start*

Well can't sit here have things to do... hopefully write more later.....

*Walks off praying to be slim... pray with me for goodness sake!*

14.31 pm

The rain.. wow the rain... so that has put a stop to going out today! Such a shame as LM was so looking forward to going.. so said that if it is sunny tomorrow we will go then.. she cheered up and asked to go on the Sims...... how could I say no to a beautiful little face!

GOS got up... spent some time looking for a cd and is now working on that downstairs while I clean the kitchen.. washing.. ironing .. change the beds and start to pack for going away.... *Sometimes I wonder if I should have been born a bloke.. and kick back and just scratch my crutch!*

Not sure I am pleased about the woman always being the homemaker!! OR having to do the chores around the home! Is it cause we notice things.. and they don't and if we ask for help.. .we are nagging or moaning!

I wonder if I just stop doing things he will notice and not take it for granted! I have not objection to doing my share or more ... but for it to be noticed would be nice!

So looking forward to going away.. not saying goodbye to LM.. that is going to be hard... but to see Daughter. Oh now there is another story.... she was told she was staying on at RAC and get an extra 400 a month.. now that has all fallen through.... So I have been looking for more jobs for her.... she seems to be so unlucky... but she is still planning to stay on there till Jan unless something else comes along.. *I really hope it does*

Ha...the woman called Emily Horne who commited bigamy... well what can one say... I have one GOS.. don't think I could cope with 5 moaning all the time! She is looking at about 7 years in prison.. what a load of crap... what about all these people that kill others and they get less... what is up with the UK? *Wonders if she had the same dress for all of the weddings?*

Can't watch the news... it is always so depressing.. why do people always have to hurt others? What is the matter with these people!

Just had a bag of crisps and three small meringue twirl things... *What's up with me.. why do I want to sabotage my efforts... think the weekend is starting to stress me out*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


19.30pm

Talk about being totally stupid... I think I have just eaten the entire contents of the house!!! So don't think I will be losing this week and I am only on day one of a new week! *What a plonker*


Have been thinking about freelance writing... just wonder if I could cut the mustard in that? Might have a look at a few courses.... I mean I have written courses that are taught all over the world so I guess I could or might be able to do it!

Think it is time to start dinner... going to do jacket spud with cheese and homemade burgers! Should be good.. just have to find space for them now... also some salad!

Also is time for Come Dine with Me.....

BBL.... maybe...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2.38 am

Well feeling really disgusted with myself at the moment... so blew today and will probably take me another two weeks to lose what ever I ate today.. plus also want to lose the other 1.5 lb! And going away on Thursday and it is going to be so hard to stick to it over there... will be gone for 10 days to 2 weeks.

Going to have to be really strong and make sure that I have plenty of healthy food around me to eat... *Oh why wasn't I born ugly and thin than stunning and large!!*

Have to go to bed... got to be up in the morning... Night all

Total syns... a years supply in one day!!!

Not Got That Slimmer Feeling... Whoo oo ooohhh

Yes thought I would title it with a song theme today... *Seems like I have been up for hours.. so maybe I am feeling tired!*

Resisting the urge to get on the scales as not got that feeling I am losing anything this week. *Hangs head down low*

I dont' think I am eating enough and I think I am eating too much fruit! No.. really.. I eat a lot of fruit... and after all it does contain natural sugars and calories. *Wonder if that is what is upsetting my tummy too.. kept waking me again in the night* My goodness.. with my stomach.. night sweats and everything else.. no wonder I am a wreck at the moment!

I was thinking of ways to inspire weight loss... and then came across this... this will make you think!! *It did me!*

BODY FAT

Yes rather nasty isn't it...

Having looked around .. they say that you have to eat less approx 3500 calories a week to lose 1lb of body fat... but this also depends on lean muscle loss as you can also lose that.. which we think is fat loss... but because we are all different.. it doesn't mean that if you cut back 3500 calories you will lose that weight.!! Gets complicated doesn't it.. *So see where I am coming from with this fruit thing.. so much for the government to say.. 5 a day!*

Thought that this was rather a nasty image too.. if you can visualise fat every time you eat.. it might make us eat a little less! *What do you think?*

So I feel I need to revise my eating plan... *Again.. but this is life isn't it* Thing is.. if you look at my eating... there doesn't contain a lot of fat in it.. so if I were to cut out even more fat from that.. what would be left...*So must be the fruit*

But for now.. I have my list of things that I need to crack on with.....



Must finish wall.. so off I go.. *When I have finished my coffee that is!.. stop being so pushy*


But this did make me chuckle...

Ok enough for now.. this isn't get the wall done it is?

BBL...........................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12.43pm

Painting...first coat on.... waiting for that to dry.. then on goes the next... *Getting hot painting with all these coats on!* Have another wall to paint but that is a deep red.. so waiting till I have done one to do the other.. but just washed part of it down... *Fingers crossed I have enough red paint left*

GOS got up... got his coffee.. took the paint upstairs from the cellar for me and I have not seen him since... in the mean time.. I have painted the wall...done all the washing up.. cleaned the kitchen and now having a cuppa before I get on with the wall again.. then there is a pile of cleaning to do .. not to mention the ironing... *Am I doing something wrong here?*

To top it all off... I have a wisdom tooth half through on the left side lower *Opens mouth wide to show you.. aaarrrrrrhhhhh* and it is getting painful... *Wants to go back to bed!*

Don't have much time to sit and goss... some of us have things to do!!

*Sneeze... sneeze.. darn hayfever.. or is it dust!*

Ooooooooo comments.... I love comments... thank you ANON!

1.20 pm

Thought I would take a look at my HORRORSCOPE!

July 10, 2009
It's hard to control your dreams, for they seem to overflow right into your waking life, making things even more confusing than they already are. But don't try to justify yourself to anyone today. If you aren't sure how to handle a situation, pull back a bit until you know what to do. Temporarily retreating is wiser now than pretending that you can tell where your fantasies end and reality begins.


Opps... maybe I need to shut up today!! *Drat..drat and double drat* Maybe tomorrow will be better let's see....

July 11, 2009
The Moon's return to your sign can brighten the colors of your dreams and soften the edges of reality. You are lured into believing things that hug dangerously close to the edge of irrationality -- that dividing line between fiction and fact. Some of your beliefs will flip-flop back and forth, so don't put your final answer into writing until you wait and see what happens over the next couple of days.


*Oh no.... does that mean I have to be quiet for a couple of days*

Nah... how can you shut me up!! *No I don't want answers.. like hey there fattie!*

Got toothache... *Sobs.. then looks up to see if you really care*

Going back to my Shirely Valentine wall... bbl....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.46 pm

Darn tooth is hurting.. well gum is!! Now also the side of my tongue... I keep washing my mouth with antiseptic mouth wash... *Screams why meeeeee!*

GOS is in a bad mood... I rang him to say come look at the wall.. *Only downstairs in his music room* as was pleased with it besides the staining coming through again.. must be something in the brick? *Which is annoying and has stumped me so far!* But thought we could discuss it...*As in .. maybe I could reseal the wall again* .... well boy was I wrong! I promptly got told that all I do is complain, would have been easier if he had done it.. and to leave it and he will do it! *Wanders off feeling really unloved :((*

Just cooked his food.. now going to finish my cleaning.. as I had the music on the sky and GOS turned it over to watch his racing.. and now has gone back down below... Maybe he will come up again when he wants feeding.

Now you know why I ramble so much!! I don't just have a wall I have a house to do my Shirley Valentine on!

Going to do some more cleaning... Such joy!

BBL.............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nearly 7 pm

Fed up.. *Don't want to talk about it...:((*

This is one person who really does some blogging... crafty stuff and something about Candy... *Me thinking it was chocolate* But I believe it is crafting candy... looks good though...

Vikki's Celebration Candy

Well must be time to do the dinner... I have done most of the painting.. but of course another coat is needed... *Will find it really hard to move if I have to wear anymore*

Dining room area is all clean... Lounge area is all clean.. done the hallways... and kitchen floor.. tomorrow I want to do the kitchen cupboards.. and utility room... hoping I will still find time to do the washing .. ironing.. mow the lawn and weed the flower beds... *Superwoman.. yeah I wish*

Might just do myself chop and wedges... GOS... well. not sure really what to cook without the thought of getting my head bitten off... *Wonder how much I would lose weight wise then... my brains must way loads!*

BBL...

If you could be anyone in the world.. who would it be and why?

I think I would like to be GOS.. cause he has someone that loves him no matter how much he shouts... and well can do what he likes and get dinner cooked etc... Not bad!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nearly 8.00 pm

I am showered again.. so gone is Yeti 3!... Tooth/gum still hurting.. can't stop sneezing and have a headache and starting to ache all over..... yep the day is just getting better and better. *Oh is it Swine Flu ! ..Nah will be negative energy that is floating around the house*

Dinner is on... so that is one thing.. just not sure how I am going to eat mine... *One way to lose weight I guess... *

So hungry now... *Now I have got over my anger*

Daughter might have someone to swap her shift at work... *Whhoooo hoooo* It does mean that she will have to work 10 straight days..but she is young.. she can take it! *So is there a god.. oh no... now I have said that.. something else will happen!*

Had email from the said Father's Lady Friend. I sent her one.. did I say.. just to clarify things... and she sent me a nice email back... Think she might be a little worried.. but then again I would!!

Going to watch the box.. see what is on... Maybe Come Dine With Me... I like that... *Yes it is official I am a bore!*


*Runs to kitchen to make ice-cream... yes the SW Free one.. will help to numb the gum... hopefully*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11.10 pm

Gave in and took a couple of tablets for my mouth... starting to feel a bit better.. still got headache.. so hoping it will kick in for that too soon!

Still got the dishes to do.. *Bah* Thought GOS might suggest he do them after being mean.. *Silly me*

How Many Sleeps?

Only a week and Daughter will be here!!!

Woke up this morning.. oddly laughing... *Yes actually laughing* Then dozed off again... and now for the life of me I can't remember what I was laughing at.... yes the laughing woke me up!

Also stomach cramping.. but think it might be time to double meds again for a few days and hope it settles down!

Sneak wi... not good.. 00.12 lb... seems to be creeping back up! Does my body hate me again! *Well that makes a change!*

Made GOS some brandy and coffee ice cream with sultana *They were soaked in the brandy* and he said it is lovely...

I am off out later hopefully... going with my friend to pick up his husband, a little jaunt out... so will be filling you in if anything exciting happens.... *This is my life so I very much doubt it*

Looks like it might be rain today... another surprise! But I still have to sand down the wall and hopefully find the cream and the red paint to get that done... would like to do that before I go out... so have to get my botty into gear!

*Still not mastered this dancing yet.. maybe I should try another sort.. must look up lap dancing*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2.48 pm

Right I think I have managed to do the darn wall... yes the plaster I put on yesterday came off.. and thank goodness to be honest as it set solid and it was so hard to sand... Managed to find some of the other stuff which is like UK plaster only white.. and fingers cross it is done!

Just a little sanding down tomorrow and I can then paint and clean my room or rooms as it is all open plan... *Don't ask* So much dust... *I haaaaaaaaaaatttttttteeeeeeeeeee dust* Just reminds me of when we first got this house and everything needed doing.. and we just seemed to be surrounded by dust all the time...

But of course.. it is Strike of the Yetti 2! Yep need to have a shower and get changed before going out. Going to enjoy my coffee and fruit first.. the go get ready!

Ok .. question for the ladies.. as not sure if it is my OCD that is getting in the way here. GOS said he would wipe his tray and help with the kitchen.. *Yes I was shocked too!!* Anyway.. he got the tray and cloth and instead of doing it over the sink.. wiped all the bits on the floor. *Of course there were several words said..* So is that a man thing? Or is that me being OCD? *Please leave your comments at the bottom of this post...*


Only 7 more sleeps.. have I said that before today? See I am losing the plot.. *Must be dust inhalation*

Not sure if I should be having second thoughts about father bringing a lady friend... She said she wanted to bring or should she bring a posh frock! *Maybe I should make them all dress for dinner* We are going to have what Daughter wants to eat that weekend... as it is her weekend.. and so far it is my moussaka and bbq that she has requested. If that is what she wants then that is what she gets!

Yikes have to be ready in less than an hour.. I do hate rushing!!

*But still drinking coffee and seeing as milk is from allowance.. I am going to drink it.. so there!*

One of my friends goes on her hols soon... I will be so upset if she forgets to send me a post card.... *There that will remind her... or make her feel guilty*

Ok.. off I go..bbl...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had a nice time.. got back just after 9.15 pm tonight.

Nothing really to report.. just that I was in the car most of the time... Picked up a few things while out..

Was glad to get back to cook dinner and enjoy the chili... *I was starving*

Watched Torchwood... was ok...odd how we are fascinated with such SFI. Feeling rather tired...

Must get back into exercise tomorrow.

I think when I get up I will do that wall... and get that out of the way... clean up... paint the room and then do my march dvd....

*Wonder if I did March type dance that would entice GOS... MMmm .. nah!!*

Well tomorrow is a new day and I have a lot to crack on with before Daughter arrives...

Told my father that he was on washing up duty if he didn't bring parts for that good for nothing lazy dishwasher! I wouldn't mind but spend nearly 70.00 for a special door to put on the front of it..*Just so it didn't feel left out in our new kitchen.. so it can fit in.. pfft see what happens.. doesn't pay to be nice does it* so if it won't work... I have torture in mind for it!

Well might go and have some naughty crisps... not going to be a good week this week... I have this feeling!
