Hi all,
I was just about to go for it with the cleaning then I remembered that hubby is going to put some down lights in my kitchen which will involve a lot of mess so no cleaning today!!! It looks like I might have to say hello to my huge ironing pile instead. Oh what fun I have being a mother & house wife!!!!
Have a good day everyone, I am going to make sure mine is!!!
Love ronnie xx

Ronnie, I have been busy with a rather cool marketing video for a local aircraft distributor.

I am hoping that everyone has as good a Friday night as I had and that tonight will be a success in every respect of the work!

Will call in a little later.......at the office now for a short while......

Morning all w/enders, late but AF night for me, ended up watching a long film when I should really have gone to bed so pretty groggy this morning, still its way better than a hangover. I wake up at almost the same time every morning now irrelevant of when I go to bed. When I was drinking my sleep paterns were all over the place and I was constantly tired.
Anyway think I better go out with the strimmer and tackle the jungle (or garden as my wife likes to call it) before the sun gets totally blocked out in the house.
Hope everyone has a nice day today and keep strong, saturday evening is just another evening as I keep telling myself.

Well after being so positive yesterday morning I went and blew it last nite, didnt come on here and talk to folks, just drank a bottle of wine instead. What a fool I am. Didn't need it, didnt do me any good - what exactly is this L Glutamine please? Is it worth me getting some? I've never heard of it.
Can I please stay for the rest of the weekend - I promise I'll behave!
A very sorry sooty

Hi Sooty its just a slip, dont beat yourself up over it. There is never any need to appoligise to any of us for a slip, these things happen and nobody is perfect least of all me.
L-glut is an amino acid which I believe is produced natuarally in the body so it is safe to take in recommended doses. It balances our sugar level cravings and is great for keeping them at bay. I take a 500mg capsual in the morning and then another in the evening if I feel I need it. It can also be gotten in powdered form or the capsual can be opened and poured directly onto the tongue if the cravings are bad. It works for great me. They can be bought in the health food shops no problem. I think some people take up to 4000mg per day.
I also take Kudzu which helps with cravings too.
I would imagine there is more detailed info on the meds/supps threads if you want to check in there as I am only fairly new to this.

Hi folks
Just a quickie before my movie night starts
Grim - that sounds like fun what you are doing im sure it will keep you nice and busy

Sooty - like KT said dont beat yourself up, we have all been there and some still are, we are all learners here! but I would look into getting something for your cravings as it does help and the herbal stuff does no harm to your body!

KTAB - How is the jungle going???
Well id better go and sort the kids out now
I hope you all have a great A/F night
Love ronnie xx

Hey Sooty, as all above have said, just a slip, not a headlong fall! Not sure about the L Glutamine either so will spend some time reading up on it.....

Here's hoping that you have a a great evening..

Wow, I have just had one of those moments that I would refer to as a "craving shudder".....
My brother lives in the UK and we are a very close family. Gave him a call a couple of minutes ago and forgot completely that there is a big rugger game on the go at the moment. Now for those of you who don't know what rugby is it almost a religion in SA. Similar to NFL due to the shape of the ball but different in that our guys don't wear full body armour and are just a tougher bunch ;> (only kidding, I respect all sporting codes)
Anyway I was suddenly struck by a seriously STRONG craving as I quite naturally associated this kind of event with turning on the telly with a couple of mates and even more beers (with lots of red wine to follow), screaming for ones favorite team. I was/am suprised by just how intensely it hit me.
Solution: made myself a cup of my fav decaf and went outside to take some pics of my dogs and a very strange spiders web.
Anyway, silly story but just thought I would share it....hope everyone is having a good time still!

thanks everyone for your kind words, they really are helpful. I'm back on track again, not setting myself big challenges now, just going to take it one day at a time.
Hope you all have a good weekend

Happy Sunday

Good morning everyone. I hope you've all made it through so far.

Sooty - I think you're great for containing your slip to one bottle of wine. It's so easy so let a little slip turn into a major excuse for a blow out. And good on you for coming straight back in here to renew your motivation.

Grim - I know how you feel about those cravings. A lot of drinking has positive connections with to other things and it looks like this one crept up on you unawares. Well done for sticking with the decaf.

Ronnie - how was your movie evening with the kids? Did you get your ironing done? Are your two little friends still boogieing?

KTAB - I hope your Saturday evening turned out to be 'just another evening'.

JS81 - how did your movies go and did the lemon juice do the trick?

Hello to Lukalee, Cinders and Irish and sorry if I missed anyone else.

I have my kids coming over for brunch and I'm armed for the rest of the afternoon with:
Pomegranate juice
Pineapple juice
lemon juice
A can of organic lemonade
Diet coke
Four bottles of perrier and some ginger mixer. If none of those do the trick at least I can't say I wasn't prepared!

Have a lovely Sunday folks :sun: and keep checking in here.

thank you so much for the message - your selection of drinks sounds absolutely delicious, don't know which one I'd go for first!
Saturday has been fine and is slowly coming to an end now and I'm doing well. Just waiting for my daughter to say whether she needs a lift home or whether she's coming by taxi and then I'm off to bed.
Happy sunday everyone, may it be peaceful and pleasant for us all.
