Same. Just, y'know, opposite genders etc.
Oh good. I actually wasn't sure it did make sense. xD Do it! It's one of the best lines to just break out in conversation. Alongside others, such as "Chrrrrrist! I was FROZEN today!". ;P Well you do deserve it. Duh.
You like muscly women?
It made sense in that it didn't make sense but I got what sense you were trying to get sensed ^_^
Yeah best line to break out in a conversation if I want people to think that I'm fucking bonkers.
Hahaha like thanks for the music rating i'm glad if anyone likes even just one song I put up there but no seriously how are you
see you on some kind of weight loss mission, that's pretty awesome. I been meaning to for a while, all this work is getting me down and I need something to do with my free time, but finding it hard to stick to a schedule. i like excercise and i like eating healthy but i just cant be arssssssssed. its so hard to motivate myself.
Well like I've said, you've given me some great music recommendations over the years so I had to listen. This bunch were a little off my usual liking (your taste has kinda moved forward while mine has kinda moved backwards), but I really did enjoy that one with the awesome video, you know the one I mean.
Seriously I'm alright besides living a dull life, you?
Thanks, its fucking hard work though. Some days (especially with all this rain) I just can't be assed to get out and move. And food will never stop being a temptation I think. But I'm trying and thankfully at the moment its paying off. Motivation is the key yeah. I've lost it a couple of times since I started this 'diet', but I'm managed to get it back.
Come down to Tunbridge Wells, we'll be gym buddies~
I have a friend beginning a heavily-reduced carbs diet right now (that seems very similar to the Atkin's Diet) and he has been losing weight pretty swiftly so far, but I'm curious what your diet consists of? I recall reading that you tend to only treat yourself every once in a while, so I imagine you eat pretty healthfully most of the time. I'm just curious, though! You've steadily lost a lot of weight so far, so perhaps I could help throw my friend some tips via finding out what you've been eating. I'm not sure what his exercise regiment consists of either, and I know that's a big part of your weight loss process.
Gagsy, you're gonna be a whole new man after this.
No problem. I've also cut down my carb intake a lot. Not completely of course, but things like bread I used to completely overeat, I'd usually have it during breakfast and lunch and dinner would maybe involve some form of pototoes, a lot again.
When I do have carbs now I get wholemeal types and just try to avoid eating bread really.
The thing I believe that has helped me a lot has been sticking to porridge for breakfast each morning. Although on my morning off work I may have crumpets or just beans on toast to give me something different. But yeah each morning I have one sachet of one of these; http://www.quaker.co.uk/products/
oat-so-simple-original I just make it up with boiled water (the fact that its flavoured means using water instead of milk doesn't make it taste horrible). And there is something like around 150 calories only in those sachets. It takes a little to get used to a smaller breakfast but its good for you and somewhat filling and the golden syrup ones taste just gorgeous.
I eat that around 10am and I'm fine till lunch which I try to have around 1pm. Lunch is usually a tricky meal or me. I like to eat something very fulfilling as my breakfast is small and yet I don't like to overdo it. I've been doing stir frys more often for lunch (just veg with a sauce and 2 quorn fillets), or salmon with couscous and some veg, 2 pitta bread pizzas loaded with veg and just a little cheese, or quiche and salad (no dressing). Lunch is tricky though. Today I'm probably going to make a tuna burger again in a pitta bread with some salad. I like that. But each day for lunch I usually 'wing it' with whatever I got in the house.
Cutting down on snacks has been key as well for me. When I am peckish I will just go for a little low fat yogurt and a small soft cheese triangle. Fruit is a hard thing for me to keep up with, so I have tinned fruit which is handy as it doesn't rot like fresh fruit and I just make sure to drain the juice before I eat the fruit.
Its not always easy though. Just yesterday here at work some driver came in and he had some apple pie, he offers me a bit. I say no and he says "Oh come on, Lenka (his wife) gave me this and said that I MUST give Leanne some". So then I'm kinda of obliged to because his wife is really nice and she is a great cook and so I had a rather generous helping of homemade apple pie. It was good but I felt bad about eating it afterwards. Things like that will happen though. The important thing is to not think that before you slipped up once means you have to give up altogether. Got to 'get back on the wagon'.
Dinner is a bit like lunch though I don't try so hard to make it very healthy. If I have mash potato then so be it, but whatever I have for dinner, I usually have loads of veg with it. Even if its some kind of pasta, I have loads of veg with it to help full me up. Just make sure that I have a bit less of the bad stuff.
No surgery drinks. I stick to diet drinks and black coffee or herbal tea if I'm in the mood. Its just about watching what you eat really and making sure you get out 5 times a week and just moving your body.
Good luck to your friend.
And yes I can't wait to be a whole new man after this!
Eurgh, no. Not even a little. I was saying I like feminine women whilst you like masculine men, is all.
I... you... sense... love... hate... clouds? *Kaboom*
Yeah, but mad people are so much fun at parties. ;P
Sorry to hear that your dog's not doing so well.
Haha sorry when you said 'same but opposite sex' I was like WOAH.
Oh god I broke him! ;_;
You have a point. Being mad is the new being funny!
Yeah I just got back from the vets. She got to have an operation this tuesday. It SHOULD be alright but yeah you never know. Lucky I have insurance, the op is going to be between £250-400 depending what they need to do. Just have to wait to claim it back as long as they find no reason not to. But yeah tuesday is going to be a long painful day.
I would be pretty happy if in the entire world, it was just me and my dog. But my dog would have to live forever because it would be lonely as fuck after he died.
Also food shouldn't rot and internet should continue working.
Yeah I'm much the same. A lot of people don't get that bond but whatever to them. I would place my dog above a lot of people lives and I aren't even regretful about that.
Me, you, our dogs, food and the internet.
Paradise or paradise?
Paradise indeed
Lets do this. I'll bring the dildos.
Haha glad you like some of them, I didn't really listen to much new music for about half a year but getting back into the swing of being hip. I've got Latitude festival next weekend, full of cool bands no-one knows and other such stuff so should be sweet there. Don't put yourself down by saying your taste has moved backwards though, that's a bit silly. Taste isn't one-dimensional. I've been listening to a fair bit of The Kooks lately too for example and they're a band that are pretty bullshit and dull realllllly.
But work's grim. I just have so much to do, my boss is on hols so cant help me (doing a project with the two MDs), and I've got 3 weeks left, on holiday for one of them. Gonna have to work (unpaid) lots of evenings and probably some weekends too. Ugh. And a lot of the time I'm working late but I'm never sure when, so it's hard to find time to go to the gym without starving. I've taken up cycling again, haven't cycled much since I was a kid, but done some cool trips (cycled down to brighton a couple of weekends back, ~45 miles which i'm pretty chuffed about), which I'd like to continue. I'm eating okay, but just need to cut down on dinner I think, I just eat too much. I don't have much fast food or fatty shit in my diet, just lots of average food. I'm trying to cut down on my portion size thoguh cos some of the bowls of pasta I have are obscenely big. Oh well ho hum
Also my cats old and walks with a limp and just sits around all day nowadays :[
Being hip. You mean being hipster lol. Which if you are who cares. I sometimes think I'd be a hipster if I got out more.
Hope you had a good time at Latitude. Muddy enough for you?
Ahh Jackie Big Tits is forever a great song! But yeah I still just prefer old music. I just don't listen to much new stuff. There are modern songs I like of course I just don't care much about discovering that and sticking to old stuff I love.
What is your job? And that sucks that you have to work unpaid. Is this a work experience thing, or do they just not pay overtime? Hope you're surviving alright.
I want to take up cycling myself eventually, not just for health but because I don't drive or anything so it would be an ideal mode of transport for me too. Hope your cycling is going well. And Christ cycling all the way to Brighton? How long did that take? Also your legs are going to be looking pretty sexy soon~
Yeah portions is always an issue with me. I don't eat badly now I just still eat too much. Even veggies I think I overall. So trying to cut back on that a little bit at a time. Get smaller bowls!
Bless your cat :( Had a good life though right?
Yeah, I can see why you thought that. Still. Ewwwwwwww. >.<
Well what do you expect when you say something nonsensical to a robot?
Hell it can be. Tell me you wouldn't love to hang out with Rodger Rabbit from time to time?
Oof, yeah I remember how much more difficult it was to deal with my one of my cats getting sick since we didn't have insurance at the time. I hope Frankie's okay in the end. I guess it's good that they CAN do something with the operation they'll be giving her to hopefully make her better, so that's a plus.
I forgot what we were talking about and can't be assed to scroll down! Lets say that I won the convo though <3
I think anyone who wouldn't want to hang out with Rodger Rabbit is a damn liar. Though I think just an hour of his company would make anyone feel completely insane!
Yeah animals man. Why do we love them so much? They say us Brits are potty about our pets and I know I am :(
Goooooooooooooood, I need to start a weight watching program, these lovemuffins are killing me.
Turn those lovemuffins into some lovingmuffins ;)
And good luck!
good for you, that is awesome and I hope you reach your goals :)
Thank you so much :)
Gorgeous pup. Dogs are great companion s. They dont care who you are, they love you. I love it when my dogs Booney and Jooney greet me every time I visit. Makes me feel special.
Anyway I hope every thing goes well with Frankie.
Booney and Jooney! Best dog names ever :)
And yeah dogs are just so wonderful, very loyal and just happy to be in human company. And its good to have one friendly face greet you when you get indoors =P
Thanks :)
I was scrolling down through the comments and noticed that you were arguing with someone which was better, the Green Ranger or the White one. But, correct me if I'm wrong, in the original series didn't the Green Ranger become the White one when he joined the team? o_o
Also, keep up the consistent losses! :D
Lol I've no idea. I've never actually watched the show! I just like the colour green ok :)
Thanks!
eff yeah you the wooman. son I am proud.
Thanks pa <3
I get to borrow them sometimes, right?
Also that's pretty nice that you didn't gain any weight even while being inactive. Maybe that means once you start working out and stuff again, you'll lose weight faster.
And sorry to hear about your Nan :(
Borrow them? Oh don't worry I'll make sure you use them alright.
I hope so but I kind of accept that its going to be much slower now. I still haven't been all that actice this past week so we'll see how tonight goes.. I need to get back to the gym. It was closed for refurbishment for a few months and dunnily enough reopened the day of my dogs op. I need to get back to swimming now shes alright. Badly.
Thanks :( Honestly you wouldn't think that shes ill. Shes brighter and more upbeat than before. Shes helping us cope which is kind of backwards really but thats her. I hope she can make it to October in good health. She usually goes down the coast for a week little vacation with my mum and a couple other people. She always said in the past that I should go down with them with the dog for a week and I'd love to this year. IF shes ok to travel.
Football is lame but I thought you would like this

Football is not lame >:C
And that is just brilliant, so fucking good. Seriously. Clever joke there rom Brazil at the end :D Thanks for showing me that!
Actually I did notice. I was most put out that I couldn't see how much less a person I know on the internet weighs compared to last week. You ruined my Thursday, woman! >=C
Let's be honest, most of our conversations ended with you winning anyway. xD
Yeah, it would, but that's the point! You're not gonna call him up and be "Hey Roger! You wanna come over? We can play chess and talk about that idea you had for improving my business model!". You call him up and say "Hey Roger! We're going fucking' skydiving! I'll pack the anvils, you get the walrus and the acrobats! Meet me in Canada!"
It's because animals are awesome, and a little bit mysterious.
:C I'm a horrible person. Let it be known!
Haha well you know Tram.. being the woman I get to win, ITS ALL WE HAVE SOMETIMES.
Anvil skydiving. Ballsy as fuck. That guy/rabbit sure knows how to have a good time.
A little bit mysterious? I don't think my dog is a crimelord in her free time or anything =P
The Ghost Adventures show was in Kent England last night and I was liek, "HEY, WHERE IS GAGSY????" *angreh*
:D
Well Kent is meant to be rather a haunted place. There is a place here called Pluckey that tries to claim the title of Most Haunted Village in England.
How do you manage to lose 6 lbs in one week? Tell meh.
I don't know myself either. Trying to recreate that magic is hard.
Jesus, do you ever get off of the treadmill? You're losing weight like crazy.
I never get on a treadmill :3
Just other stuff. But thank you.
Trambamboline
Oh yes, madness to like masculine men. Absolutely insane. ;P
Yeah, and I trust that you know what you know that you know... Yeah, that makes sense. >.> Right well that IS silly. If people are seeing you after you've lost weight and you KNOW that you've lost weight it seems silly to me to not be all "Yeah, I have haven't I? Look at me go, I am the queen." :P
Gagsy
Glad to be insane then ;D
It does make sense, thank you! ^_< Lmao "I am your queen". I actually may have to use that one sometime! And I know its silly, I just don't know. I feel like I don't deserve praise ever.
