Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

I haven't watched any of those programmes lol, I tend to go for baby films, like the back up plan, the switch and juno of course ... we've got ps I love you lined up for tomorrow night ... I love my girly films

I'm going to get super motivated with my weight loss on Monday, I think I might try and do a meal plan for each day and see how that goes, and I'm very tempted by those £60 scales so I can keep an eye on things myself too, or am I being completely stupid spending so much on a pair of scales??

 

[Tarkwa]

I was crying for the majority of PS I Love You! I can't watch films like that. The worst film ever for crying was Armageddon. My eyes were soooooo puffy the following morning.
Scales aren't cheap these days - but if you invest they should last a lifetime. Cheap ones will just break in no time at all. Have a good shop around first to see who has the best price though before forking out.

Loads of ladies on here watch One Born Every Minute (OBEM) - Channel 4 on a Monday evening (9pm I think). I keep thinking - "I won't scream like that when I'm giving birth"! but I'm sure that's what everyone says

[EmmyReece]

I love weepy films, Stepmom is another favourite of mine ... I've never watched Armageddon all the way through yet

I've been looking around and I've noticed it seems more difficult to find the ones that go higher ... I need the ones that go slightly higher because of being just over 25st

Have you got anything planned for tomorrow?

I think if I watched it, I'd be in tears all the way through

 

[Tarkwa]

Me neither. It'll probably be a ww meal out the freezer for me. Dh has got a playstation date on call of duty with his mates. I'm sure he will be making it up to me later

I need some ideas for dinners to take to work. I think I've had soup everyday for the last 3 weeks and I'm getting fed up of them now. I've got stuff to do wraps so I might give that a whirl! X

How about left overs from dinner the night before? Provided you have a method of re-heating it should be quite a cheap lunch too ! We're meant to 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper' - so maybe save a portion of your dinner for lunch the following day? Or make extra! My packed lunches have never been brilliantly healthy, but I've enjoyed them (crisps, chocolate mousse or crème caramel, cheese and chutney on biscuits, juice).

[Tarkwa]

Nothing planned - dunno what to do. Will probably just end up doing housework - it's too cold to go out brrrrrrrr! There's meant to be snow soon. What about you?

[EmmyReece]

I think I'm going to have a lazy pj day, watch a few movies and will test again in the morning just in case

 

[Traskey]

We watch those shows too. DH secretly enjoys them Poor Gary, he takes so much verbal!

Wahoo, for a lottery win. That would be the answer to your prayers and mine Would help if I actually did it!

 

[Traskey]

I'm trying some new lunch foods. Light wraps with salad and chicken, sugar free jelly (0 points) and fruit. Have hardly seen in a crisp in weeks (my secret downfall)

 

[EmmyReece]

ohhhh what flavour jelly?? I'm a massive fan of lime jelly yummmm

sounds like you've got your food pretty well organised

 

[Traskey]

Well, I got bored of eating the same thing over and over. I am still open to new ideas though. They do orange, strawberry and rapsberry in the ready to eat flavours. Need to look out for more. I am still trying to find the low points soups.

 

[EmmyReece]

I think I've tried pineapple jelly, and lemon jelly what I've done in the past is to buy the little sachets, make them up and put them in little containers (think you can get them from poundland). I went through a phase of ham salad with a dollop of houmous, apparently houmous is nice with celery and carrot sticks. ohhhh and I go crazy for dried banana too lol.

 

[Tarkwa]

Hey ladies! :wave:
Not feeling so crap about food today. I weighed myself and had only put on 1lb, which is terrible , but better than I had thought. I'm going to be super good today (well, try to be!) so I can STS for my 'proper' WI tomorrow.
I love lime jelly! In fact, I think I might go out and buy some. It's lovely made with lemonade as the bubbles are so nice in your mouth! Or you could try fizzy water - I love that too, much better than still water. Will drink LOADS today to try and 'flush' out my system (and help my little kidneys which have been poorly in the past).
Gonna do some housework and pop out in a bit, just to get some fresh air. Might go for a nice walk somewhere (to try and burn off some cals/fat!). I wish I had a dog to walk sometimes. I've got just over three weeks until next FS appt and I want to be 14st (probably not going to happen, but it's something I want to aim for!).
I hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

Morning

I've never tried lime jelly made with lemonade, think I might have to try that one just to see how it goes

I'm looking at holiday prices at the moment, trying to get some ideas and inspiration for our holiday next year. We were looking at going back to Marmaris in Turkey, but now I'm thinking that maybe I'd like to try somewhere different.

This morning I'm feeling a bit I've tested again and although I can still see something, it doesn't seem to be any darker

https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-tests/523469-am-deluding-myself.html

I'm contemplating taking a break from ttc so I can concentrate on my weight loss. I need to get myself a bit healthier for when I do get my bfp and so that I can look better when we go on holiday next year. It makes sense to take a break, but I can't make myself say the words to Chris

Morning ladies

I am feeling a bit better today. The splitting headache has receeded to a dull ache I've also lost a pound! Must have been all that water I drank yesterday so I am going to try hard to drink as much today. Either that or it was dehydration, had a raging temp most of the day, hence why i was drinking so much.

Today I am doing roast chicken with lots of veggies and try to behave myself with the roast potatoes. Mmmmm, roasties. Another of my, "No such thing as too many" foods

I've also got a ton of housework to do, as nothing was done yesterday Not sure I am up to the wii today, with only one breathing hole but i'll take the dogs out later.

Tarkwa, i'm glad you only put on a pound and will shift that in no time at all. I am sure you can make it to 14st by the FS appointment. PMA! Like you said, steady wins the race.

Emmy, we decided to hold off on booking a holiday until we knew what was going on with the FS. Now that we know we can't get IVF i'd rather not spend money on a holiday when that money could go towards a cycle of IVF. Haven't talked to DH about that yet though. I am still wavering around between, "All hope is lost" and "If only we could find the money somewhere!"
