Hey Starbuck! Hope your boys liked their presents and had a lovely day!

I over indulged on food (not quite as much as I would previously have done though ) and then couldn't sleep as my stomach was absolutely agony until I threw up everywhere (sorry too much info!), definitely wasn't undercooked meat as I'm veggie and no-one else had a virus or anything so it had to be the quantity of food that I simply couldn't digest!!! Hence the 'Eeeurcchh' as that's how I felt when I got up on Boxing Day

I didn't have any alcohol though

On the plus side my ticker is still correct so I'm happy but quite shocked about that

On the negative side the bloody boiler broke down on Boxing Day so we have no heat and no hot water until god knows when!!!!!!!!!! (why is there not a 'freezing to death' smiley icon )


Hi Kate, hope you had a good Christmas!!!

Everyones ill to in my house as well. I woke up christmas day with absolutely no voice, not even a squeak! My hubby has had bad toothache for days, and we've both got stinking colds.
Apart from all that christmas has been good.

Just got to decide whether to leave hubbys bad tooth till after holiday or try and have it taken out before we go?

Hope you get your boiler sorted soon.

Sounds like a nightmare Starbuck! Hope you are all getting better now.

Best of luck with the tooth situation, I hope he gets sorted and is pain-free soon!!!! Anything to do with teeth terrifies me

No boiler news, but the dryer and oven are keeping us warm at the moment!!! Never thought I'd see the day that I'd be grateful for 5 washer loads and an excuse to have the dryer on for hours at a time (not looking forward to the electricity bill though! )

xx

Well it will soon be 2010! Wishing everyone lots of happiness for the New Year!

How is everybody getting on? Hope we are all beginning to recover from Christmas and New Year!

Starbuck - you must be due on holiday very soon? Hope you have a fab time!

xxxx

Where is everybody and what are you all up to? Its lonely on here these days?

Sorry 4angels, havn't been round much as have been stressing to much about holidays. More snow due over Gatwick on Sunday and Monday, so I'm panicking about whether we will actually be going or not

Not helping the diet at all, have been eating everything in sight as I'm worrying so much, even though you can't do anything about the weather. Not just eating stuff in the cupboards either, I've been on a cake baking frenzy the last 2 days as I can't get to the shops for choc.

Oh dear Starbuck what a nightmare, hope your holiday plans still go ahead...like you said it is out of your control really but it is still going to worry you regardless.

Maybe forget about being good until you come back now (because think positively and you will be going!!!!)

fingers crossed for you...try not to worry too much hun (easier said that done I know!)

xx

Thanks 4angels, dosn't help when my gran keeps ringing up and saying will you get your money back 'cause you can't go?? she's such a drama queen.

Looking at the weather in Florida at the mo it's not that much better than here really, snow forcast for saturday. Snow in Florida!!!! hopefully hotting up a bit next week though, until they see us coming probably

Oh my Nan would be the same!!!

Hope all works out ok for you...

Think everyone has had enough of this flaming snow!!!

xxxxx

Sitting here on the coach travelling down to Gatwick. Weather seems ok at the mo so hopefully we'll be ok for lift off tomorrow.

Fingers crossed all will be ok with your flight hun!

Hope you have a fabulous time

xxxxxxxxxxx

hope the holiday os going great SB

i have just hibernated this winter and eaten so much comfort food its shudder worthy - my only saving grace is all the walking because of the dog we got or i think i would have done far more damage.

I will get myself back on track soon then it will be full steam ahead.

I must admit I've struggled the last few days as we still have no heating (fingers crossed today it should be fixed) and the motivation to be good has just disintegrated as I am cold, fed up and miserable!!!!! So cups of tea with rich tea biscuits is a survival tool .... not a luxury LOL!!!!!!!

The only saving grace is that even if I really want to pig out I get heartburn/indigestion quite quickly now, so it stops me from going too over the top!!

Good luck for getting back on track Irnbru! xxxx

hi 4angels, are we the only ones here?

forum doesnt seem as busy

how are you doing?

Hi Kate,

I'm ok thanks, hope you are well!!!

The forum isn't busy anymore at all which is a shame as I look on here frequently to see what everyone is up to and also for my inspiration and support. I guess everyone is really busy and they don't have time to chat at the mo. Starbuck is still on holiday though I think.

I seem to have been maintaining for the last couple of weeks, but I have managed to lose 19lbs since November so I'm not really complaining (yet!!! )

xx

sorry - i have had teenager problems the last week or two and thats taken a lot of my focus - but hopefully it will settle back down.

this site is great for support and chat - i make the mistake of avoiding it if i have been "bad" which is silly lol - must try n rectify that way of thinking lol.

is your heating sorted yet 4angels? - i totally agree, when you are cold and tired then its so easy to crave comfort food. I think i have hibernated the last couple of months so i feel like i am emerging from my cave a bit - need to nip it in the bud all the relaxed attitude i have taken with food and get it nder a bit more control - but not there yet hehehe

Morning everyone

I am sitting waiting for a phone call, am trying to get a meeting at the school so was supposed to be doing badminton with a mate this morning and have had to postpone it. my afternoon lecture has been cancelled too - so will def have a long gym session at some time today - i need to pop round to the shop and then will have a thrilling day of printing off lecture slides and setting up folders for all my subjects - it took me until half way through the last term to suss out that this is the best way so hopefully am a wee bit ahead of the game this time round.

it is blinkin freezing here today

i need to change my ticker tape but just dont want to lol

Don't avoid the forum if you've been 'bad' Irnbru!!!

You mean to say that kids don't get better as they get older? I think I'll leave home now as my lot, especially my pre-schooler are bad enough already without turning into (shudders) TEENAGERS!!!!!
Hope you manage to get it all sorted out hun!!!

I know 4Angels - should use the forum more when we stray from the path for that bit of kick up the bum or virtual tea n sympathy.

I am managing to get gym sessions in now - but the food is still far far from perfect lol

We all do it though Irnbru!!

I'm at stalemate at the moment - the scales are not budging and it definitely has an impact on my willpower and my mood!! At least when the scales are going down it gives us all an incentive to be good!!

Well done on fitting your gym sessions in again!! xxx

oh yes 4Angels - its hard not to let it get you down isnt it? my food side of things is just not happening at all at the moment.

I have so much happening lately that has thrown me off kilter so just need to regain my balance a bit and it will all get back under control and wait for calmer times - sometime all you can do is a holding pattern...

I am trying to do too many things at once at the moment and it means that i am not completing anything, so am trying to take a step back and try n knock things off one by one - am trying to make the gym a constant but argh!!! its not clicking into place just yet.

looks like we both have to hang in there and we wil get there - the sun was trying to come out yesterday, maybe its just been too long since we have seen it eh?
