WEIGHT WATCHER UPDATE

I know I shouldnt have, but I couldnt resist...

I weighed myself this morning... I think I've lost 2lb this week.

I've stuck to my points or under every day and I've up'd my exercise each day also.
I even went for an hours walk while Ellis did his karate lesson today!
I want to get off to a goodstart to give me the motivation to continue.... 2lb!!!!!!!

I'll even be drinking diet coke for part of the evening tonight... I know!....scary!... desperate measures or what!

Naughty Karen. I'll save the congrats for formal weigh-in night.

 

[GOS]

Really?

Neils been "up north" this weekend and he's got loads of sunshine too... maybe the clouds are just sat over the Midlands then

Couple more days and people will be complaining about the heat. Can't win!

We really will have to watch what we say to him

 

[Karen Mouse]

congratulations

Thanks Heather

Naughty Karen. I'll save the congrats for formal weigh-in night.

I know, but I had good reasons.... I wanted to encourage myself ready for tonight, so I dont blow it in the curry house. Now I know its working I'll hopefully pick better choices this evening instead of going for my usual very fattening tikka massala packed with cream

weight watcher fo!

the moves and katas get a lot harder from now on. The gradings wont be so close together after the next couple of belts because it takes longer to learn it all. At the moment he grades every 12 weeks and so far he hasnt failed (although a couple of kids have). It goes to every 6 months then annually after a few more belts. If he carries on (which I hope he does) he could be a black belt by about 13/14 years old.

I actually wish I was doing it too. There are adult classes, but I dont have anyone to babysit while I go.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Right, thats me all caught up - off to bounce on my trampoline for 20 minutes to add on some steps and burn some calories (so I can have a popadom this evening)

 

[GOS]

Thanks Heather

Go for the dry Chicken Tikka. Still yummy, but low in fat and no creamy sauce.

Good morning everyone. I am enjoying my time as a batchelor by still staying in bed even now at 11:34 AM.

I will have to a do a few things today. Maybe wash the car, do the dishes, etc.

Great pics of Walt, Di, Mike and Robin. Looks like a fun time!

Please...

Can I ask you all to spare a prayer tonight please

Neils cousin (Helen, she's only 39) has had a heart attack this morning. She was very ill during her pregnancy, the baby is now a few months old, but she's been in hospital for most of his life so far with serious heart problems. She was on the waiting list for a heart transplant, but we're not sure whats happening now.

Sorry to be so gloomy, but I figured she could do with a few extra prayers this evening. She also has a 6 year old son and husband at home.

We will be praying!!!

You got it. That's a sad sounding situation. While I'm at it. I could use some prayers for my Dad who's having surgery on Monday to repair the aneurysm in his abdomen.

So, not to be ignorant, but what's a popadom?

 

[kdzgon]

Oops - never mind, I looked it up, though I would think a flatbread is not that high in calories - is this erroneous thinking?

 

[GOS]

Wow..is it quiet on here tonight.
