well done missy!

week 1 and a 3lb loss - keep it up!

Even better Audrey.

Great Audrey!!! I was in a biscuit eating frenzy last night and should be hiding my face, but here I am!!! Might start my blog again if I can get myself together.

Poor you Claire with all that snow!! One of the downsides of country living I suppose.

Hope everyone is surviving the slushy roads, icy pavemnets and not stuffing their faces with rubbish like I am!!

Well done Audrey!

Am in a bit of a mood today. People just seem to be trying to annoy me this week!

Nine was very good last night. I really enjoyed it. Although some people have told me they hated it! I thought it was very cleverly done and didn't even look at my watch once (I have a short attention span with films sometimes!)

Nandos was also very good. Probably best not to count that one!

Menu for today
Shreddies-4
milk/banana(edb)
WW sarnie-10
crisps-5
Carbonara ,using creme fraiche,worked out checks-22
41 ,so 9 left for later.

MB ,step away from the biccies-we need you on this challenge.
Carly,Nandos
Di

I did a 'workout' today..well the car did!!! Went to Banks o' Dee very icy rutted road went round the car park and out again

Hey ladies....
Just popped on to wish u all the best of luck, i see a wee loss already !! fantastic !!
Cant wait for weigh in this week if we all keep being good !. xx xx

Hello Girls

Audrey well done our first loser on the Champagne trail

Carly glad you enjoyed nine I did too did you feel like clapping after the song and dance bits like me ( to clarify I didn't actually clap just felt like I wanted too )

Marion at your workout

Di menu looks good

Mb get out of the biscuit tin

Booty hello nice to see you

Chickadee nice to see you too and you can easily join in just get posting

Nicky,Carol,Ona and Claire hope youv'e all had a good pep day

My news of the day just booked our holidays we are going in September 10 nights to Phuket and 5 nights in Singapore

PEP news apart from a blip with cheese and biscuits on Sunday I have been PEP perfect and only one day to go till weigh day hope i dont go wrong now !!!

its not really been a pep perfect day, but i has been better than other days!

Well, today i did some studying, actually got on really well, supposed to hand in my next assignment next Wednesday, i've asked for an extension though, i don't think i can do a good enough job for next Wednesday, we'll see how it goes!

Dawn, would it be ok if i lost enough weight if i could sneak into you suitcase in September?? I got the TT again this year,we're hoping the weather is better!

Di, i love carbonara made that way, one of Andrew favourite dishes now!

Marion, that sounds like my kind of workout, i took the car to the bottom of the drive and back again, very nearly did a donut at the top of the drive, got the car back to the shed and there it will stay until tomorrow afternoon!

Pat, i can sympathise, all this cold weather and being stuck in the house is making me hungry tomorrow will be a better day

Audrey, woohoo, well done missus!!

Carly, i hope your feeling happier now

Skippy, there is a yoga class goes on at the same time as our martial arts class, i often wonder if they can totally shut off the noise that we all make! Its suposed to be very good workout for your core muscle!

Nicky, hows things with you? Sending you muchos hugs

Well ,it had been snowing earlier, fingers crossed there will be no more, enough is enough!!

Enjoy your evenings ladies

claire xx

Di hope you enjoyed day off without kids

MB hope your not munching biscuits tonight

Nicky hows u today?

Feeling tired tonite think have early night. Up bright and early ready for boss picking me up, got into car and he went to drive off but my door jumped open due to frozen lock, so we had to stop and deice it Silent kinda a journey to work but suited me.

Didnt get away early but roads quiet, stopped off for petrol and it was back up to £1.08 a litre One good thing about this weather havent been out to shops spending money using up what I have in house Just burned some toast that was having for bedtime snack so house is stinking

Have a good Friday (whats this having to work Friday) could get used to a 3 day week with full pay of course

Ona xx

thank goodness it is Friday!!!

what a long first week back!

marion i know what you mean about the car park - even the wee drive into it is like a skate rink - that is why no early classes for me as it would be madness to do the drive in the dark - bad enough in daylight!

still really sore from wed so no gym today will go tomorrow morning, acording to time table thereis another yoga class but i dont know !!!!!!

yes cancelled nails, and another appointment which was fine getting home sharp
asda shopping came at 4 and i ordered my xmas savings vouchers with my friend again so start saving again in January for December!

in saying that i managed to buy my coat, trainers and some other things so it wasnt all on xmas pressies!

told hubby he BETTER remember i weigh in on monday and he BETTER have at least £15 to go in the handbag fund!! i am hoping for 3 out of my 7 gain ( 7 gain grrrrrrr)

where does your boss stay ona?

Skippy good morning, certainly does feel like a long 1st week back according to airport it is -18 degrees out in Dyce just now brrrrrrr. I had to deice inside my windscreen this am

Hope you get loss you deserve on Monday and well done on starting saving already, thats the way to do it

Boss stays down in the Berryden area, it was more the fact that his big posh car just refuses to move in the snow and ice so he had to slum it and drive my wee Fiesta

Have a good day one and all lets hope it flies by

Ona xx

thats quite funny ona - those with the posh motors cant get out and about and you and your dependable vroom vroom make it!xxxx

Just a quick post from me this morning to say hello...I'll be laying low for a while...I've had a cr*p couple of days and I don't know what today or the weekend is going to bring....I don't want to go into detail on here as I don't who could be reading it.... ...I've cancelled FB too for the moment...

Hope you are all well and keep warm in this baltic weather xxxx

I'll be back soon and in the meantime keep pepping xxxx

Nickyxx

Onaxx

nicky hugs

claire xx

Nicky -

Dawn I wanted to clap after the songs in Nine too. Although why does Judi Dench think she needs to sing with a French accent and talk with a British one?

My feet are about to fall off they're sooo cold. Wasn't really pep perfect yesterday either, I lost count mid evening so I'm starting again today. Should be much better.

It's Friday!!! xx

Nicky!

dont go far!!!!!

hope it isnt too serious!

xxxxxxxx

Nicky hope as skippy says its nothing too serious and hope to see you back here soon

Nicky!
I'm on a bummer too...bloody kids..Kieran has got a nice new 'bump' rear passenger side he got a shock he said couldn't go into work last night I'm sick o the bloody car and all its hassles When will he learn. My mood is kinda low enough as it is just now without that happening.

big hugs missy - he must have got a fear!

Hope things get better soon Nicky and get back when you can.

Sounds like a fab trip Dawn!! You will be in an eeny weeny polka dot bikini by then for sure!

Hello to everyone - it's Friday!!!!

Afternoon Ladies

Nicky, as others have said, hope it's nothing too serious that will keep you away.

OH had a day off today, as he starts 12 hour shifts tomorrow, so he took me for the weekly shopping my poor "Aggy" hasn't moved much since Christmas Eve I have been defrosting "her" every morning though The main road (A96) was OK, in fact, it was quite quiet for 9am in the morning, it's usually full of commuter traffic, but I guess everyone is staying at home. I think we have been quite lucky (if you can call it that) with the snow falls, not nearly as much as "up country" or "out and about" enough to keep me shovelling though

Planning on getting "caught up in the house" whilst OH is working over the weekend, then I can keep quiet on Monday & Tuesday whilst he is "sleeping off" night shift

Have a good rest of Friday

Hi ladies
Just to say probably won't be on much over next week or so-Dave's mum passed away this afternoon.
Take care all
Di

Oh Di so so sorry, my thoughts are with Dave, you and your family

Di x

x x

Di sorry to hear your sad news thinking of you all


for you too Marion as long as your wee man is okay the bump will fix

di xxxxxxxx to you dave and the kids! x

Di and of course Dave and rest family, take care

Marion must be a worry for you

Hope abody else is fine

Ona xx

Di - so sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you, Dave and the kids. Take care.

Morning Ladies

More snow here wasn't expecting it, as it was very frosty last night I had to clear round OH's car so he could get to work (he left at 6am) I tried to be as quiet as possible for the neighbours will clear the rest at a more respectable time He got to work without any problems, said the A96 was okay, snow in the middle of the lane, but otherwise clear, and that it was raining where he is

I have to go back into Tesco this morning bought Mum some Arrowroot biscuits (like rich tea) yesterday, they are out of date November 2009, December I could understand, what with Christmas etc, but NOVEMBER, not acceptable

Hope the snow isn't affecting you too much, stay warm and have a good Saturday

Afternoon Ladies

Hope you are all enjoying Saturday its been dinging down snow here several times today

we went camping last night yes really ....................... our patio door in bedroom was leaking drip drip plop plop so no way could we get to sleep so took matress, pillows and duvet into living room luckily it seems to have stopped now so hopefully will be okay tonight

Weighed in this morning and pleased to announce a four and a half pound loss

kinda having a pep free day today tho had a wholemeal scone and flora out for coffee this am with girls ( didn't have breakfast )had a shop bought tuna mayo on brown bread sandwich for lunch ( no calorie count on pack !! ) and we are having Indian tonight from Asda ( bought by Kenny when he went for bunny supplies ) haven't looked at packs for calories yet but suspect its not too Pep friendly

be back on track tomorrow tho promise

what a good wife you are auds xxxx

dawn was it like a sleepover in your own house?

i went to yoga this morning dithered whether to go or not but i am glad i did

1 x gym and 2 yoga this week!!

have a good sat xxxxx

Afternoon ladies

Di..so sorry to hear about Dave's mum...thinking of you and your family at this time xxxx

Skippy...thank you for your PM xxxx

More snow here occasionally too Audrey!

My cr*p is all sorted out now...I will be thinking with my head before adding posts to FB if/when I go back on there! My brain is squished just now I think...I forgot something himself had told me and I posted about our car which caused him a lot of grief and he couldn't even speak to me until late last night when he eventually came home...hey hum that's life! I really didn't think he was going to forgive me but he also didn't tell me what he had told his friend ealier in the week and if he had, I would not have posted the comment! I did my Angel cards yesterday morning and they were spot on! They are fab...I've done 3 readings now and they have all been so accurate! I suppose it depends whether you believe in them....

I went for a facial this morning which was bliss and totally relaxing but my beauty therapist said that my shoulders, arm and neck are so tense and suggested that I should have fortnightly massages. I'm also going to be a guinea pig for her later in the year as she is starting a chinese massage therapy course and it could help with the roseaca and sinuses etc..I'm giving up on the homeopathy for now!

I also stood on the scales and I'm down 4.5lbs but I also didn't eat anything yesterday...I couldn't but that is not good for weight loss. I'm still not feeling up to eating much today but hopefully will be back on the pep over the next couple of days.

I'm off to the hospital tonight to visit my granda...he fell the other day and is badly bruised but thankfully no broken bones but he also has a chest infection! Him and my granny are definately getting their moneys worth out of the NHS the last couple of years!

Hugs to you all and I hope you have a great rest of Saturday xxxx

Nicky welcome back

I'm glad you got things sorted out and hopefully you and himself will be back to your happy best soon

Think on facebook and any public forum you need to post stuff you dont mind the world knowing

Well done on the weight loss and hope your appitite comes back now things are sorted out

Also for your granda thank goodness he's not broken anything

Enjoy the rest of the weekend mrs

nicky , glad you got things sorted out, me and andrew don't go out drinking much together specifically because couple of years ago my mouth ran away with me, i learnt my lesson!!

di, thinking of you and your family

hope you ladies don't mind but i'm splitting my time between here and my wee challenge with Abby, its affa fine to have her back again!

Well so far i have had very nearly 2 pep perfect days, and its ourn anniversary today, so we're having fillet steak and all the trimmings, going to start all the prep soon!

The snow is starting to shift now, large lumps of it falling off the kitchen roof earlier, thats what i like to see!!

claire xx

Afternoon Ladies

I was convinced I had posted yesterday hey ho! must be my age

Had a brilliant way of relieving stress last night I wanted to flatten tenderise the chicken breasts I was going to cook for tea. I don't have a proper meat tenderiser so I was thinking of what I could use, went out to the garage for a look and saw my OH's "persuader" If any of you are old enough to remember Ground Force with Alan Titchmarsh, Charlie Dimmock and builder Tommy Walsh well, Tommy used to use one, to "encourage" paving slabs its a rubber mallet/hammer thingy, so you can guess it's a bit heavier than a normal meat tenderiser by the time I was finished you could "see through" the fillet it WAS tasty though

Night at the TV methinks, Dancing on Ice is back yippee!!

Have a good rest of Sunday

Evening ladies!

for you Di. Thinking of you all xx

Had a bit of a temperature last night and had an 11 hour sleep! Went to the gym today though for the first time in a month. Only half an hour of cardio but I was glad I had gone. Hopefully will get there a couple more times this week, and I will be back on track then.

We provisionally booked a wedding venue yesterday! I still haven't definitely decided between the 2 but either way we're definitely getting married on 10th September 2011! (Eek!)

So I'm back being a good pep-per today and I will keep on track for the whole week this week! xx

carly where have you booked?

and it wont take long to come around!

auds xxxx charlie - no bra!!!

happy anniversay claire - how long?

have a good sunday night back to reality tomorrow xxx

Glentanar Ballroom up at Aboyne. It's between there and Haddo House but we're leaning towards Glentanar. Just need to see Haddo again to be sure! xx

skippy, we met at a party around 2am on 1st January 2005 and had our first date a week later! 5 whole years, something of a record for ourselves and still madly in love with one another!!

glad you've nearly decided on the venue Carly and now you've really got a date to look forward too!
claire xx

claire

carly - wow! dont become a bridezilla!!

i watch it on sky and they are mental!!

xxxxx

ps 3lb off xxxx

Well done on the 3 lbs Skippy!

I love watching Bridezillas - did you see the one last week who bought herself a pistol in case her ex showed up and insisted she be called Queen? It was brilliant. It does make me cringe though to see how these grown women behave and I can't believe their future husbands put up with it, I'm waiting for one to be jilted. (is that mean? Probably yes)

Anyways, I want chocolate so much this morning but I'm sticking with my massive bag of carrots. Apparently this bag contains 3 portions of vegetables so at least that's something! Sure the craving will pass...

Have a good day everyone! xx

Afternoon Ladies

Well done on the 3lbs off Skippy don't do no bra unless I'm swimming, which isn't very often
My sister-in-law lives in Aboyne Carly, nice area

Made a pot of soup this morning and have "proper" rice pudding cooking slowly in the oven real warming food, although there is a slight thaw here today Was considering trying to clear some of the ice that has softened slightly, but OH is in bed, night shift tonight, so gave it a miss

Have a good rest of Monday

Not a particularly nice end to Monday, my Uncle passed away
