My legs ache after yesterdays walk!! And we're off to do it again in a bit. Work not too bad, was in a foul mood again at the beginning. Wish I knew why.
Toying with the idea of joining a gym...It would mean that I KNEW I was targetting the right areas and doing it properly. It's £30 a month though and it's £30 I dont have.
Food: 1 salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream) I worked it out that it was a HUGE box and still under 200calories, 1 smoothie, 1 muller light, half a dime bar, 1 stick of Kinder Bueno, 2 rice cakes with 1 triangle of Laughing Cow Light, limey chicken, pilau rice, apple pie, clotted cream
Exercise: 1 big long walk round the Chevin (OH reckons about 2miles), 60 sit ups, 6 minutes rowing (250 reps)
Really am undecided about joining a gym. Part of me thinks it would be a good thing, the other says it will last as long as the bike. BUT....if I have someone showing me how and where to target to lose weight from where I want to...well, there's my motivation. BUT...its £30 I dont have.
In a funny mood again. I dont know why and I dont like it.
calorie counter site...useful
So much for biking 40minutes a night still. Swimming tomorrow. According to site above, that should burn about 500calories, assuming we swim a mile.

Another Tantrum
I have no idea whats up with me.... I am still having the most stupid irrational mood swings.
I'm still not entirely enthralled with the idea of these reviews....Apparently they're going to be next Friday now. Great - another week of waking up after dreaming about it. OH is coaching me through what I should say, but the way he puts it isn't what I want to say. He wants me to try and put a positive spin on things, which I can understand why, but....Whats positive about not having enough money to live (if I wasnt in the fortunate position of no rent/mortgage), feeling undervalued and taken for a bit of a fool?
I was REALLY looking forward to doing overtime on Sunday as its so rare I actually get any....N gets offered it first, then LovelyM, then the rest of the shop staff, then any of the three managers, as they can take a day off in lieu instead of being paid, and then, and only then, if none of them want it, am I offered it. It doesnt exactly make me want to help them out of tight situations, which I know is the wrong attitude, but...Oh, I dont know.
Then on top of that, the weight tantrum has kicked in. I am sick sick sick of being on that bastard bike. But I have semi made (another) decision.... I should just do 40 minutes EVERY DAY, whether I've been for a big long walk, or swimming, or whatever. 40 minutes is fairly do able.... Then I will be more inclined to do rowing/situps as well, which I havent done since my birthday.
Am also semi considering joining FatFighters and a gym, but its more money I don't have... I dont know :(
V&M moved to Milton Keynes today. Hope this one works out better for her. Last place was crazy :(
Food: 1 chocolate muffin, lots of minimini chocolate rolls, lots of minimini flapjacks, 1 pork & apple sandwich, 1 smoothie, 1 strawberry bun, pasta, cheese sause and sausages, garlic bread, apple pie, clotted cream.
Exercise: Big walk around Chevin - we were out about an hour and included lots of hills. Legs ache now! Also 10minutes on bike.
All these bad things. I know I shouldnt have them, yet I can't say no :(

Looks like today could be busy
Have just done 20mins on bike and DWSarah has just rung to cancel our Tuesday night swimming forever ( :rolleyes: ). She's going to Weight Watchers with a friend on a Tuesday and I'm half tempted to get her to go for a couple of sessions and maybe join her IF I can still swim - the pool is open till 8.45pm so SHOULD do it? I am also off out on a walk with her in a bit... No idea where though. AND!!! The other thing she wanted to tell me was she's heard of some Lab puppies which should be ready to leave their mum at the end of June time! Says they're absolutely cracking puppies. Have just rung OH to tell him and he's said to get the number and we can possibly go and see them over the weekend!
Off to do some more cycling before I have to go meet her.
(10.40am = 1hr on bike = 610calories)
What a day!! It's now 8.50pm and I have walked (with Sarah) 9 dogs and played with a puppy twice. Then gone clothes, shoes and bag shopping with her, then had a panic when she realised she'd left her house keys and the dogs house keys in a shop 10 miles away which shut in 5 minutes! Major panics till her friend ( :hail : Karen) rushed to shop and got them for her and S came round here and got changed & ready here.
Means I've only just finished my calories on the bike (1016c) but still its done. And 2 walks. And one was up a big hill which we climbed halfway up, then realised we'd lost a bloody dog, so walked back down, then he overtook us from the way we'd just come - typical - so we walked back up again.
Very tired and in dire need of a bath!!
Food: 1 chocolate muffin, 1 double caramel magnum ice cream, 1 packet of Snack bars (bought by S as a thank you!) spaghetti bolognese and home made garlic bread.

Sleeeepy
Can't decide if I'm upset re the extra weight as in how quickly it's gone back on, or not *that* bothered cos I know it WILL come back off again. Positive thinking :nod:
Well, I say that, but I am sat here, having just eaten a slice of toast & chocolate spread and half an easter egg.
I think I have almost made my final decision about ponies...I dont think I do want another one. And if V's circumstances changed and she couldnt have M after all, I think I would sell her anyway. I need the money to go towards the house etc, and I enjoy the fact I can come straight home and DO things, rather than rush from work, rush round the yard, rush home.... I'm not ruling out lessons, but I am never going to be a Good Rider, my nervousness will always hold me back - how many issues did I give M by thinking 'Eeek, C would have had a FIT at that...' or 'C would have carted me home here...' and made her do it? I still cant quite bring myself though to put her Clarendons or her Thermatex up for sale. Or her headcollar. But still, never say never.
Horses just dont really fit into the way I IMAGINE my life to pan out though... When we finish the extension, and have a puppy...I need to be divorced (more money) then I would like to marry OH (MORE money....can't imagine parents shelling out for a second wedding) and then...kids on the horizon I guess. I want kids, but this last 2 weeks of 'am I, arent I', has convinced me that I'm not ready yet. We need the extension doing first and I want to be divorced, and I cant even put that in motion till January next year. The only thing is....I dont want to constantly be saving up for the next part of my life. OH and I already behave like an old married couple, and while I usually enjoy it, I miss 'dating', especially as due to circumstances, we couldnt do that. So once a month, we're going to try and do something, whether that be going out to the cinema, going for a meal or whatever. Or even just hire a DVD and have a bottle of wine and cook ourselves something special....
Food for the day: 1 slice toast & chocolate spread, half an easter egg, 3 chocolate muffins, 2 ham & pie d'angloys sandwiches, roast chicken with mashed potatoes, carrots, yorkshire puddings, peas, gravy & cranberry sauce.
Exercise: 40 lengths at the pool and a quick walk along the top of the Chevin after tea.
I'm definately getting old....Today *I* baked muffins. Admittedly, the baking of was a bit of a disaster - I got more muffin mix round the kitchen than I did in the bowl, and I ate half the mix... And also, next time I make them, I must remember to half the recipe - I assumed it would make 6 - it made 11..probably would have been 12 had I not eaten all that mix! Just as well they are yummy. Now I am going to get the veg ready for tea and do the pudding mix. Check me out!

Last Lazy Day
Before I hitch the wagon back up.
Well, I say lazy, OH and I went and walked up the crag earlier and looked out over the white horse, Emly moor and ferrybridge power station...Then went for a half hour walk with OHs mum round the fields. So while not biking for 10 hours and sit ups, its more than I've done recently!
Writing thank you letters for my birthday presents - havent done that in years! Makes me feel about 6, but do need doing. I've left it too late to ring up :blush:
We went to see the people who live nextdoor-but-one....THey've had done what we're planning to do to the house. I'm not sure I like it. I also think our house is longer than theirs, which is no bad thing :lol: BUT I didnt realise (think?) about how much of the garden it would take up. Puppy & minimal garden....doable? Hmmm.
It's also been quite shocking to me just how much I've come to rely on writing down what I eat on a day... I would be MORTIFIED if I had to write down what I've had today. So that helps a lot in making me not eat so much. Am also considering buying that Paul McKenna book....I dont know,I can't decide if it's a waste of money or not.
On a money saving front, I have bought myself a piggybank :wub: and am putting all my loose change I have at the end of the week in it. Partly to save up for a Radley bag & purse, and maybe Burghley trip, but also for Nice Things for the new house. And random things I want off tinternet instead of using my credit card....

I have eaten out Wednesday evening, Friday evening, Saturday twice, then sunday lunch time AND had easter eggs and birthday cake.... No exercise. We're having duck tonight - its either going to be a total success or a complete disaster...we're having to substitute some ingredients :S
Did some gardening today :eek: its official, I am nearly 30!! And also a pregnancy test as am now almost 2 weeks late. Was negative. Thankfully.

The Three Day Rule
I read somewhere once that the longest a family can stay together is 3 days before they start to get fidgetty and pernickity with each other. We're now on the third day and I was ready to shovel my poor parents back to the hotel at 4pm.
We've (me, OH AND the kitten) have all been thoroughly spoilt - I have had loads of new books, some shoes, lots of meals bought and some frippery things....OH has had plants, seeds and all sorts bought and the kitten has had 4 toys.
Spent the day in Harrogate yesterday and also went to Harlow Carr, then went back to HC today cos mum wanted a walking stick - her walking is getting ever so bad.
My parents also met OHs parents....went well. Well, seemed to anyway.
Have eaten so much this weekend - havent dared get on the scales and have done NO exercise!! Will start again on Wednesday!

Back on the bike
It's easier when I have a day off. Having to do 20mins at a time again cos otherwise I snuffle and snort and sweat and can't breathe. Having said that at 10.25 have still only done 20mins :lol:
Birthday tomorrow and havent made my target which is a bit of an arse. I have just measured myself though and I HAVE lost weight :thud: Only an inch or so, but still. At last there's also a size loss. Taken long enough!!
Another big work meeting tonight - hopefully I will get advance warning of whats happening....I just hope to God I don't get sacked on my birthday :rolleyes:
Humm. Back on the bike :lol:
Finished biking! 100mins, 1032calories.
Food: salad (ham,mozzerella,mayonaise) plus some extra ham and mozzerella :lol: and a muller light and a smoothie. 1 Twix top. Tea was 2 helpings of some kind of sausagey soupy stewy thing with garlic bread, then an apple tart with cream & 4 chocolate fudges.
SC broken her finger lunging her crazy horse. So they called M in, all the way from Halifax, took him hours as he had to come on the bus. They could have just asked me, I could have been there in 5 minutes. I could really have done with the extra money or the time off.
So, it looks like just me & SB tomorrow. Have told OH that if this is the case then I will take a day off unpaid. Childish, yes, but I am not having my birthday ruined by him.
Update after meeting: No job changes. Looking for a new job somewhere else.

Urrrrggggghhhhhh
Still no sign :S
Am all bunged up, barely breathe at times, throat hurts, nose is bright red....I hate colds and I'm sick and tired of having them.
Doubt I'll go on the bike tonight either, just feel so mank. Even OH has it this time, which is unusual.
Didn't help we were woken up at 4.30am by the cat stealing a bag of bread off the kitchen side and hiding it under our bed. Little bugger.
Food: - a BAD day! 1 kinder bueno, 3 BLT sandwiches, 1 packet tangy cheese doritoes, chocolate, tea is sausages, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, peas, gravy & mint sauce plus mini eggs.
No exercise. Can't be bothered and I can't breathe when I do.
Been reading the side effects for my pill - remind me why I am on it...:
common side effects: acne, breast pain, headache, mood changes, nausea, decreased libido and weight increase. You may also not have any bleeding at all.
So that hopefully explains why I am 5 days late...

Good Friday
Still not on. Sigh. But have read up and apparently the pill I'm on can cause missed periods - helpful.
Food: 1 salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream), 1 twix top, loads of grapes, 1 yoghurt, 1 smoothie, limey chicken, pilau rice, half a pack Mars Planets, 6 PiMs citroen, 3/4's bottle rose wine.
Exercise: 100minutes on bike. 1030calories. Very hard work tonight. 60 situps.
My dad appears to have gone missing. :unsure: Mum hasnt heard from him since 7.30am, his phone is off (this never happens...) and she can't get hold of him. This may sound like nothing, but its not normal behaviour for my dad. Erk. Dad back now (9.10)

poo, sweaty....
Have been on the bike for an hour (first time in a week!!) and I am all sweaty and horrid. Hands are clammy and I am STARVING. Having to do it in 20minute spurts as I've got that unused to doing it!
I think I have decided against a weimaraner :( We don't have the space and walking it constantly would be an issue. I don't know though. We don't NEED a pedigree dog - we won't show, breed or work it. The point of it being a pedigree would hopefully mean better bred, therefore less likely to develop DJD etc. But I've only ever had crossbreds and they've all been great...and probably healthier than any pedigree I've ever met. I dont know...Who thought puppy buying would be so difficult?
Still not come on :S
Exercise: 100mins on bike = 1060calories, 60 sit ups, 1 hour long dog walk with S.
Food: 1 mars top, 1 smoothie, 1 muller light. 1.5bowls pasta, bolognese sauce & mozzerella, half garlic ciabatta, 4 Lindt chocolate squares. 1 pint Pimms & lemonade.

:bawling: I SAID it was going to be a weight gain week!!
Weight gain week :nod: Have put on 2lbs. So I suppose that isn't horrific, considering I've done minimal exercise this week. Still not impressed though.
Bah. So no birthday blow out next week :lol: as will not lose 9lbs in a week!
Exercise: 120 sit ups, 5 mins on rower (40reps a min) swimming tonight - will see if I really am getting fitter as going with OH and he won't let me get stuck behind slow people!
ETA: 66 lengths and done much quicker than I did it last night - was knackered by end!!
ANOTHER bad food day....: Strawberry bun, LOTS of Easter chocolates (easily 300calories worth) a flump, salad (ham, mozzerella, salad cream), muller light, smoothie, 2 helpings OH's sausage casserole again and 3 slices of bread.

Bad Food Day AGAIN!!!
AND right before weigh day - I will not have lost enough weight next week for my Big Birthday Blow-out!!
Food: 1 bacon & mushroom sandwich with brown sauce, salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream), TWO helpings sausage stew (sausage, potatoes, brussells, carrots, green beans, peas, mint sauce). :blush: 2 slices bread. 1 twix top
Exercise: 60 situps this morning and a max of 72 lengths in the pool (is at least 66 :lol: but I kind of lost count and I know I added a few....) I *think* I am getting faster and I certainly don't feel as knackered as I would normally.
But the big news of the day.....
I CAN HAVE A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!! M2 has agreed in principle, as he hoped to do exactly the same thing later in the year. The only thing is, as the pups get older, he wants them to go outside. Nah!!
Search (well, emails to breeder and hope puppies are within our price range) is now on! Definately a Weimaraner IF we can afford one. Just looked at breedersonline and they range from £500 - £700.... :( Even with their bizarre long tails :lol: We still can't afford it.

must not get overexcited, must not get over excited, must not get overexcited.....
I. Must. Not. Get. Overexcited.
ARGH!!!!!!!
Good day today, bike fixed, OH has gone to get it. Spent day in H, went to Lush, had my hair cut, which I am torn between loving and hating :rolleyes: bought a slow cooker and some stuff for NeedyKitten.
Food: 1 chicken, bacon & mayonaise baguette, 2 J20, 1 almond croissant with custard & whipped cream. Erk. Tea was pasta in tomato & garlic sauce with beef and mozzerella on top AND garlic ciabatta :fat: - lovely! And a muller light for after.
Exercise. 60 situps.
OH has agreed to a puppy when we have saved up - I fully expected him to say 'in 4 years time', but no....3 months we're aiming for, so we have time to convince the powers that be we can have him (I dont want a bitch) at work with us AND have time to save for crate etc.
I dont know what I want though, now I can have one :unsure: I'd love a lab, but they can be either full on OR 'dead', weimaraners I've gone off since the Kennel Club ruling of no docked tails I think :blush: and setters I think would just be too full on ALL the time. I WOULD like a Weimaraner though.
Still unsure of hair, have managed to scrape it into the most pathetic pony tail ever :lol:
Have just seen pic of a long tailed Weimaraner... I think I may have changed my mind back again :rolleyes: :lol: I suppose its what you're used to. AND there's a very well respected breeder near us....

:yawn:
Very tired, and fairly upset. Since the bike broke I have put on weight (although watch me be shocked on wednesday when it miraculously disappears...), AND...this is so pathetic :rolleyes:
I REALLY WANT A PUPPY. I can't have one and I getting, actually, really depressed about it. I can't even summon up the enthusiasm to help someone at work with their puppy buying which is bad, considering I work in a pet shop. Oh well.
Food: Salad (ham, mozzerella, salad cream), 1 caramel egg (bad OH), roast beef, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, carrots, green beans, mint sauce and gravy.
Exercise: 66 or maybe 68 (I say 66, OH says 68) lengths of the pool, 180 sit ups, 10 mins rowing, 40 reps each minute (done in 2 blocks).
Edit: :bawling: Yes, I am well aware I have just eaten a big tea, BUT, since last Wednesday, I have put on half a stone. Just from not biking :bawling:
I feel sick.

Temptation Waits
OH bought some us a Lindt rabbit each for Easter yesterday. I want all mine now.
Have put on weight due to bike, but have measured and have lost/stayed the same everywhere apart from my damned hips :bawling:
Exercise: 180 sit ups, 10 mins on rower (average 37 reps each minute)
Food: porridge, muller light, smoothie, some of Ss chip shop chips, 2 squares of DairyMilk, half a bag of Giant Buttons, chunk of french stick with salami & pie d'angloys. Tea is lasagne, salad (spring onions & salad cream) and garlic bread again.

damn and blast
Didn't get paid today. Fucking BACS. Thank God I have other money and am not up shit creek.
Food: salad (chicken/mozzerella/cranberry sauce), muller light, smoothie, lasagne, sald & garlic bread, spring onion, salad cream, 3/4's bottle white wine.
Exercise: So far, a pathetic 120 situps!! A friend says she does about 34 things on her rowing machine, so have something to aim for tomorrow, instead of the random few fast bits and more slower bits.
Need to phone N back in the dutycall. Already going on about RAC and had to cut her off and say I was going cos my tea was ready. Ha! First time ever I have done that!
Working tomorrow and Sunday OT so lots of extra money, so new hair here I come!
