need to get out of this rut!!!

[shortstuff]

I am in a rut and I cant seem to escape.

I go to SW and as some know I had a bad night monday at weigh in. Since then I have eaten everything I have avoided for ages. I ate a whole big bag of sweets yesterday and have just finished a whole packet of tunnocks caramel wafer biscuit things.

I am looking at my level 3 assessments while my LO sleeps and cant even begin to write.

I need to update my SEF as I am due ofsted over the next 11 months.

RRRAAAAAHHHHHH need to get my head back on straight x

[ziggy]

Big big hugs. We all have bad days on SW, I scoffed a cake at 8am after worrying news about my daughter.

Tomorrow is a new day:)

:group hug: short stuff...
Try not to let things get you down...although I know it's easier said than done!
Just know we are all here for you if you need to let off steam :thumbsup:

We all have off days when trying to watch what we eat, new day tomorrow...fresh start again x

This is just a bad week, keep a food diary next week and the thought of doing more paperwork may may make you resist those tempting foods and sweets. Pencil in your diary - 30 mins SEF every night for the next week - by the weekend you should have nearly finished and you will have earned a SW treat.

Oh :censored: just looked in my diary and I had pencilled in "start X's 2 year check" - well that isn't going to happen today!

Put the little ones in the buggy and go on a power walk to work it off. x

Im lucky on a Thursday I only have 1 lo during the school day so I text a mum 3 doors down n we took the los out for a meander up to school. I will be minding her lo all day tmw. We had a good chat n put the world to rights. We also planned a trip to ikea after we put the kids to bed next thursday. Could be dangerous lol x

I was about to suggest retail therapy but really Ikea go somewhere for you to get something just for you.

Shoes, bag, new dress, anything but not Ikea.

Thought this was appropriate...

That's lovely... but what time of the morning so you get up??? Before the birds lol

[Bumble Beez]

This morning I was up at 5am...yesterday was 4am...
Hubby is a lorry driver, so he starts early and I always get up when he does!
Makes for a long day sometimes but I get plenty done :laughing:

Yawning reading this lol I have been trying to get up at 6am this last 3 weeks to go for a cycle but it's just not happening. 7am is early enough

[shortstuff]

Thanks xx that groucho comment is amazing x I might print it n put it up x

I must be getting there ive resisted chocolate today lol x

I had one of those mornings too lol. Took control n instead of stewing on it I took the 3 mindees out in the car just for 10 mins but it was enough to get me going again x

Picture the morning. Completed the school drop off. Which is stressful as one mindee has to deal with all that autism throws at you. Came home got mindee 3yrs playing independently. Got mindee 17 months olld also playing independently so I could feed 9 month old brekkie. 17m old decides to fall off bouncing zebra hitting their head on the floor. Im still ok. He comes on my lap for a cuddle n resume feeding. Then 3yr old doesnt make it to the loo in time so needs a complete bottom half change! So give 1 more spoon of food, 1 more cuddle then leave them both to clean other mindee up. To resume feeding I had both bigger mindees one on each leg while resuming feeding bubba.

Hence going for a drive....

Ooh rough morning! I hate having to deal
With toilet ing issues when also trying to feed someone!! Hope your afternoon was better and the wine is out!!

It was fine after 10.30 lol

For some very strange reason im off alcohol most of the time so oh went out n got me a little bag of sweets. Thatsvan improvement on earlier as ive been eating share bags to myself lol x

[Bumble Beez]

I'm off alcohol too...and so is hubby...and feeling better for it!
And it's nothing abnormal in this house for me to demolish share bags, or large bars of galaxy to myself...whoops!!
You feeling ok this morning? Enjoy a chilling weekend :thumbsup:

Initially oh thought I didn't want to drink with him but I think hes accepted it now x

Too much to do to think about it but thanks x ds has martial arts at 9 n we go on from there x

I do plan on being in the garden as much as possible today x who can resist the sunshine x

[shortstuff]

Well to give a little update x

I did go out yesterday and buy new clothes. I got a gorgeous new 2 layer skirt, top layer silk. Its dark brown at the bottom, getting lighter as it goes up to my waist. I also bought a beautiful dress which I would like to wear to a wedding evening do at the end of the month. Is it acceptable to wear white as a guest?

I ate enough cr*p last week to gain 3lb but hopefully I can draw a line under it now.

I want to say thanks to you guys for just being there, means so much x thanks x

[Bumble Beez]

:) hugs for shortstuff x
Retail therapy is such a good healer at times...skirt sounds beautiful too.
Start thinking positive again...eating better will make you feel better, and you'll probably shake a few lbs too which is a bonus!!
I have always thought it was a very traditional thing with weddings that only the bride wore white...however I don't think it's so much a 'thing' anymore and I would be inclined to say yes to wearing white...saying that tho, I may be an idea to check that the blushing bride didn't mind first!!
