Fifi La-Bonbon.

I came home from work on Thurs to find Peter waiting for me with news that my little dog Fifi had been hit by one of those small scrambler bikes. She was so shocked that she took off into the woods and Peter couldn't find her. It was dark and frosty and I searched and searched. I used up a second lot of batteries in my torch. At 10.30 I came home to make posters (a very good idea of Sarah's) I put them up in the park that night and Sarah put them up in the village on Fri morning. The search went on in the park by lovely friends, neighbours, Annie and Dave. After a prank call...complete with howling dog in background! Peter got a phone call on Sat. Fifi was found on the old railway line at the back of Tesco's (I have told and told that dog to use Waitrose as a better class of bitch go there) Peter searched the place she was seen for over an hour before she crawled out from under a shrub. Safe, well but filthy!
The upshot is I have not blogged or even thought what I have been eating. I think I am ok! Back to norm today.

I feel great! No booze yesterday or today and no D.Ts either, so perhaps am not an alkie after all. I missed breakfast and so had a ww biscuit for elevenses which was delish. Couldn't face porridge and so had half a cup of someone else's soup!
I am in the 'Zone' at last. What a struggle it has been. Thank you one and all. Jacky you make me feel like a saint!

Today I stuffed my face at Sarah's. I had no breakfast and was starving!! Enough said. It is now 7.30 and I am gagging for a drink or a biscuit but shall resist.
To help I have joined weight watcher's at home (free 2 week trial) It has taken me far too long to work out how to use it! Do any of you use it?
Losing It's idea of taking porridge to work for lunch is a good one. I shall do that tomorrow and have fruit for breakfast.

I only put on .4lbs so very pleased. I did go to pub today though. I had a hard time at work! Well, that is my excuse.
Fellow blogger and follower Liz gave me a great idea for lunches. I think one reason I go to pot is because I don't eat enough at work and so am famished when I get home. I shall make rice and pasta lunches and NO MORE WINE!

See Ya! Hurrah! I've Got Judy's Friend Liz. Welcome My Dear!

I swung into the pub again tonight! I feel so weak and upset. I now vow only to call in on a Friday. Not every Friday but if I fancy a swift half (of a bottle of wine) It can only be on a Friday……….I promise to be honest. I am now signing off until Monday morning when I shall plug in my weight. I know I won’t have lost anything but if my weight is the same I’ll be chuffed. I’m not going off the rails. I’ll be careful. Thank you Judy, Liz and best of all Clare….brilliant advice! xxx.

See Ya!

Am I an alcaholic? I just couldn't resist after the drinks in the pub. I shall walk past in future and not look in.

Oooh! I Feel Most Odd!

Well, the McColls do was brilliant fun. I have no idea what I had to eat or drink. All I do know is that it was plenty! Consequently I had the hang over munchies today which was toast followed by biscuits followed by beef wellington with fizz followed by red wine followed by minty biscuits followed by mince pies....................groan! That is it now NO MORE! I shall be good tomorrow. I gained .5 lb today. Tomorrow will be huge but I shan't worry as I feel the zone coming on!
Thanks for your help Judy. You are truly a good cousin. xxx.

Big Ideas Please!

What do I do with these? Oooh they look so delicious! I have all these goodies plus the sweets on the sweetie tree.
Am off to a party tonight and the hostess, Louise makes the most amazing food so I think I shall eat nothing as if I start I might not stop. .7 of a pound off today.

Porridge

Dates x 9

Sweetie.

2 poached eggs on toast with a little ham.

Party at the McColls so who knows?

Wish me luck.

Disaster Strikes.

Yesterday started off so well but all went downhill after two glasses of fizz. I scoffed the chinese and wine like someone possesed. Whilst clearing up, those bloody mince pies (about 8) kept jumping into the brandy cream and the cheeky wee things hopped straight into my mouth every time I walked by. The consequence is...2.5 on this morning! Ah well at least 'Losing It' should understand after her little slip yesterday. Hope today is better Judy. xxx.

Porridge
ham baguette
Small slice of pannatoni
Sweets x 3
Veggi pate
Turkey soup (from freezer...couldn't keep it going that long!)
Healthy slug of red.....for my heart!! = 23 Points. Oh well Heigh Ho!

Hurrah! Half a Pound Lighter Than Before Christmas.

I am being good but shall not count points today after all. I was so pleased to find that I have lost a pound which makes me half a pound lighter than I was before Christmas. Yes, yes I know it is dehydration but I am still happy. Thank you Losing It for insisting I weigh myself last Monday.
I shall have Chinese tonight (noodles) and a glass or two of fizz then on the straight and narrow tomorrow.
This blogging is such a help. I think Losing It's friend who is a computer buff but out of a job should think of doing something like this that we can join and help each other. The fact that there are no rules is a big plus for me.
