And i lost.....2.5lbs!
Really chuffed with that after dropping the 2 points, i was dreading weigh in as i was worried if it was only a lb or less it would demotivate me. I know a 1lb loss is good but it can be frustrating when you've worked hard.
So i am back re focused and looking forward to weighing less than Karl, it wont be long! :o)
I so wish i had used it sleeping but oh no, DH woke me at the crack of dawn as per.
So by 8am i had already had breakfast and done all the veg for dinner, going all out and having 6 different veg today, got a feeling i might need them LOL
On a positive note, when we went to Blackpool, all the bands had merchandise but of course being larger, none of them would fit me, Karl bought a really nice polo shirt from one of my favourite bands and i always said i was pinching it as soon as i fit in it, well that day is today!
He said i could keep it on for today....... i mean how daft is he for thinking he's ever geting it back?
Still surviving on less points so looking forward to WI, watch this space!
Well i am on reduced points, i was dreading it to be honest, as every little point counts as we know but so far i have managed it without a struggle and as i suspected it's actually better as i am starting to save a few points for a treat in the evening rather than treats all day long, which of course you can afford when you are on 28 points!
I thought i would play around on fridge graph and all in all, it doesn't look too bad, i think because i have slowed down (to a steady and healthy loss) i went astray a bit but i didn't get to 18+ overnight so it's not coming off overnight is it?
Anyway off to make a lovely salad, whoever says you can't eat them in the winter is wrong, i love them.
Thank the lord! Lol
Well.........
I lost 0.5lb
I was so despondent after wi, even though in reality i should be pleased as i have been off work for 10 days and at least it shows i resisted the temptation whilst i was at home all day.
My leader has suggested i drop 2 points, i might be naughty and try 1 first but either way,i think it's for the best in a weird kind of way, it's really time to cut out the snacks and treats and concentrate on using my points for my meals alone, i mean, I've got to get out of the habit and get on to 3 meals a day..........haven't i !?!
We shall see, back at work and going to be more mobile this week, hopefully i can make it to the 13's before Santa comes!
Oh Blimey, where did this week go to?
I have spent this week doing all those bits you need to do but never have the time or inclination, i have shredded about 5 yrs of old bills, sorted out Karl's accounts, mended his pc (if he messes it up again he's in bother!) washed curtains and generally blitzed the house.
DD had yesterday off school so we had a baking session, which was nice as being a typical teenager she's only usually comes out of her bedroom to eat. We made 2 batches of buns, jam tarts, rock buns and a Victoria sponge and to date i have eaten...................NONE!! (pass the halo polish please?)
All in all it's been very productive if not boring but the credit crunch has stopped me sailing off to the Caribbean!
And...... i have stuck to my points, doesn't sound so impressive but i have been in the house almost 24/7 so i have done a lot better than i expected.
And i lost....1lb,
I walked for England last week, stayed in points, i even walked to class.......oh well!
On a positive note, it's in the right direction and my leg muscles are rock solid so at least I'm getting fitter.
Well i hated those pics and no matter how many times i looked i could see no difference so i decided to try another t shirt, now i am feeling much better :o)
I'm sure Karl thinks i am getting so vain but as many of you will know, we all want an idea of what we look like and pictures are the best way, that's my excuse anyway!
So here is today's
I'm still lumpy and bumpy but with over 3 stone to go i should expect that, but my fear of the dreaded pic is definitely fading.
Off out for walk today and going to stock up the freezer with meat and do some planning.
Wish i could say the fixation with Curly Wurly's has gone, but it hasn't. I'm really going to have to stop buying those multi packs!
Don't know what's happened but i am all motivated once again, i even walked home from work again today, so i am racking up the ap's.
I think i may be obsessed because on Tuesday at work, it was only about 9.30 and aready i had reached healthy on my pedometer, so i was really chuffed, a little later i went to check it.......it had gone!
Now bearing in mind, most clothes come ridiculous amounts of tissue paper and polythene, by then i had about 10 rubbish bags of the stuff and not enough time to finish the delivery AND look for them, so off i trot to weigh in and buy another.
How wierd that my pedometer has become to me as important as putting a watch on!
Anyway, i am being good, even cutting down on my snacks (read curly wurlys)upping the amount of points i use on meals and limiting myself treat wise, i'll never learn if i don't.
Gosh i have got so lazy, i'm not updating this as much as i should, i'll never write a book will i? Lol
Anyway, it's been another funny old week, i have stuck to points (just) and struggled to do that, not in a huge way but i have made some bad choices, 3 curly wurlys in one day again, i must stop buying the multi-packs!
We went to Matlock Bath on saturday night to see the illuminations,Karl had come in from work at 4pm wanting his lunch, it was too early for me to have dinner so i had nothing and then went on to have Sausage and chips from the chippy there, i have to say though they were most enjoyable and thoroughly worth it!!
I resisted the cute little sweet shop that sells lots of different sweets in little tubs, they both bought some so not to feel left out i had a bag of candy floss, well that had to be better didn't it?
Yesterday, still guilt ridden, in my wisdom i decided to walk home from work seeing as it was a nice day, all 3 miles, which in itself was an achievement as 5 months ago i could hardly walk to the bus stop, but boy, my hips ached so badly, i have definatley slacked off the last few weeks so i am going to have to get my fitness levels back up this week.
So to WI, i lost 1.5 lb so i got to my 4 stone loss, i feel really motivated now and my goal for Christmas i have decided is to weigh less than Karl by then, that's about a stone, mind you at the rate i am baking him sponges, it might be done in less! Lol
We shall see!
