Nite all x x x

Had a really good day foodwise except had 2 coffees at work due to fed up and stress but then everything went wrong, I had company for tea, we had pasta and bolognase then out came the biscuits followed by a large bag of haribo then this evening I had a packet of chicken crisps.
O dear tomorrow is another day

Today been a good day, I meet up with an old school friend who I haven't seen for 40 years and it was great We didn't stop talking for 3 hours and would still be there if I hadn't had to get my car from the car park. I was good with the food there was a choice of either pannini's or full meals and as I can't eat any wheeat I choose the chicken meal and ate only the chicken and about 6 chips, I did have a coffee with cows milk , now I only drink goats milk and drink redbush or herbal teas.
What did I get out of tonight, that I am not the only one things happen to eg losing the bloggs
What I am going to improve , being more patient, try to exercise more and keep doing the do.
Things are better for me , I do feel more relaxed and food is not ruling me I AM IN CHARGE.
The nutrition diet has helped lots but I think the weather has too, I am definatly not a vampire I so need the light and sunshine. Love to you all.

Nothing much has happened , went to Costc this morning for work, they were giving out oft white bread with honey on (only small pieces ) so I took one, bad mistake I ended up with heart burn, why do I do it to myself I have been keeping of all wheat products as the nutrition diet said.
Forgot to eat slowly : (

I wasn't well this morning so took the day off ( this is very rare) but had a really lazy day and it's been great, I had a long chat to Sue this morning on face book and that was nice as I don't normally have time to do this but Pete said that we had to make some time for ourselves also we have to blogg every day which I am doing and eat slowly which I managed today :)
Food was good as not feeling great so no picking.
Hope everyone ok x x x

Hi all
I joined the nutrition plan last week but only started it on Monday and I have lost 2lbs already.
I have cut out a lot of food that contains wheat and bran as I seem to have a food intolerance to this ,also I am drinking a lot of herbal teas as water gives me indigestion ( am I weird ) and only using goats milk which tastes just the same as cows.
I have been eating lots of fruit and veg so this hasn't changed,
Been eating slower but this is due to having problems breathing due to my cold lol
Been trying to exercise but not easy when you can't breath, I went to see Bjorn again on Tuesday and spent an hour and half singing and dancing ( this is why my chest is so bad ) if you have never seen them they take off ABBA and are brilliant, the audence ranges from 6year olds to 90 and everyone is up dancing, It's innocent, fun entertanment.
Love to all x x x

Last week I joined the nutritian programme, I think because it is something new it's given me a kick start to try again, I think I had just got fed up and now the light mornings and evenings have a arrived I feel more up to the challange, so on Monday when I went shopping I got lots of new things and today as my cold is now getting better I have just done a 20 min work out. I was going to do another 20 mins on my bike but as I am wheezing decided to give it a miss till my cold has totally gone but tonight I am going to the Lowry with my family to see Bjorn again so we will be up dancing lol
Now going to listen to mp3.
Hope everybody is well x x x

Hi to all
So gutted went to London and never made it to the birhday party.
Started with a cold friday night but still went to London after dosing myself up, managed all round Earls Court then had a bad time getting to our Travelodge as there were no tubes were we were staying, by the time we got back my cold had come back with vengence, ried to dose myself up again but it just didn't work so we ended up missing it. : (
Hope everyone had a super time and that I will meet up with you all soon.
Love x x x

Tonight was intresting but I do get very confused with what you should eat and about fats, I think I will have to get a book to read to be able to understand it properly.
Weighed myself this morning after week without bread,pasta,rice and potatoes plus I have also cut down on sugars and found that I have put on 2 lbs ! I told Pete tonight and he thinks its because I have been so stressed, so we will Keep Going as I am not finding it difficult to do and enjoying the change, but today I did have a bowl of porrige as I am wondering if I have not been eating enough so thought I would have a good start to my day.
Take care all x x x

Woke this morning shattered not surprising as out with yougest till 11pm yesterday and Wed doing sport things (him not me )
Had salad with Ham cheese and apple for lunch and this evening had a stir fry with some Turkey left from christmas followed by a very large fruit salad with yogurt and some grated dark chocolae on it.
I am so proud of myself as my son doesnt like stir frys so as a special treat I told him to go to the chip shop where he got fish and chips, when he undid them the fish look gorgeous but I didn't even pinch a chip, then after tea he got a bag of wine gums ( my favorite thing ) and offered to share them but I said no thanks, I can't beleive it and I didn't even feel bothered .
Just had a shower then going to make a cup of tea and watch Lost.
Nite nite x x x

Thsnks Ash and Sue for your food ideas, I think we should all go to Sue's tonight as tea sounds great.
Had chicken Tikka salad with a small helping of cheese for lunch then tonight had Pork chop, carrots, sprouts and mushrooms followed by fruit salad and yougurt. Extra's fruit, 1 fruit oatcake ( as I didn't have time for breakfast ) and 2 squares of dark choc, lots and lots of water..
Its not been as hard as I expected and I just hope it will give me some energy because at the moment everything seems hard work.

Hope everyone well
Take care x x x

Managed another day without any problems, Lunch was a ham and cheese salad folowed by pear with yogurt, tea mushroom omlette with grilled bacon and half a tin of tomatoes followed by a large fruit salad with yogurt ,extra's 2 small pieces of soft liquorice ( which I love ) and 3 cubes of Black and Greens chocolate.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring as I am running out of ideas. I am missing porrige in the mornings as it is filling and quick to make, Sue if you read this perhaps you can give me some idea's lol
Felt stressed at work as I feel as if I am drowning in paper work, with going to London last week I am so behind with my job.
Someone asked if I was OK as I looked so down, I have to do a presentation on what I learned in London on Monday s o trying to sort that out but must get my invoices on computor tomos.
Going to bed now, nite all x x x

I have not blogged for a couple of weeks,due to feeling really down.
I don't now why, think it could be partly hormonal and partly the dark weather but life just feels tough ,everything is hard work, I don't want to do anything I spend the evenings thinking of excuses for everything including going to work ( though I do go in and I love my job )
Tonight was good but I missed last Wednesday as I was on my way back from London.
Today I had no carbohydates which was weird having tea with no potatoes.
I will try to carry this on and to stop having sugar, but 2 weeks today it's Shrove Tuesday the start of Lent so I will be giving up sweets .
.I would love to be hypnotised as I want to do exercise but just can't make myself which I know sounds stupid but I just can't motivate myself. : (
I am looking foward to 20th March, I have booked tickets for train, show and travelodge but not sure about the meal are we suppose to book it ourselves or do we tell you Pete and you will book us in.
My daughter is coming to : )
I would love a one to one with Pete but at the moment I can't afford anything
perhaps when Pete comes back from Spain.
Love to all x x x

Last June I joined the programme 'to sort my Life out ' and it worked beautifully, with the help of the mp3 tape I learned how to relax and through feeling calm and relaxed I lost 19lbs wihout even trying.
But in December things went bad and I have put 5lbs back on.
I started January with the old hope and urgency and surprise it's not working.
Yesterday morning I ate 4 biscuits at work, I know the reason why, one of the girls was crying as her dauhter had been beaten up at school,she is a lovely 14 year old but she does have problems which her mum has tried to get help with school had not even contacted mum so she walked into the house to see her daughters bruised face.
This brings back memories as I used to be beaten up, knocked on the floor and kicked when I was at junior school and the school did nothing to help me, plus my daughter and youngst son have suffered at the hands of bullies.
Then last night I was late joining the session as my eldest was on the phone gutted because he had been offered a day's work doing something he really wanted then was told he couldn't do that as he was to important and was needed for a boring important job.
Then through the session my daughter was txting me as she was so upset as she had not got a good result at uni ( she pushes herself so hard ) after the session I spent an hour on the phone with her ,listening to her crying and trying to make life worth while ( she' a bit better this morning )
So instead of feeling calm and happy I felt stressed and miserable so I sat in bed and opened a large box of Maltesers I had bought me for christmas and ate.
So I have madea decision. I am going back to June, I am going to listen to mp3 tape daily ,continue to drink lots of water and eat slowly, then once I am calm in myself I can think about controlling my food and that nasty duck will go away.
Lots of love to you all and it was lovely to hear Hannah Biscuit last night.
So looking foward to the 20th March
