Jo's Journey

Well you already know the bit about the new job, and last time i posted i was 4 weeks away from our yearly festival in Blackpool, well that was 3 weeks ago now, how lax have i been.

Anyway, i bit the bullet and went back to class on the Wednesday after Blackpool, i always knew it was going to be bad, 6 days in a seaside resort, trying to find quick healthy food between bands is a task i can tell you!

The healthiest thing i had was a side salad with my sandwich, as for the drink, well suffice to say i have never drunk as much as i did this year, i wasn't steaming and i don't need to be referred to AA but at 2.5 points per drink, i probably consumed at least 25 points minimum a day, that's without the full English breakfast, ridiculous amounts of buttered toast, hot chocolate's (complete with cream and marshmallows)............i think i'll stop there!

And the result at the scales was a gain of 15.5 lbs, yes that is fifteen and not one and a half!

If there is a but, i was last weighed at class in May so that gain was over 12 weeks, hubby being the ever so laid back person as he is said 'Oh that's not too bad considering' but at that rate i could gain 4 stone in a year easily!

So anyway, work seems to have settled down, i am still putting in the hours but i think my body and mind have adjusted so i am getting back to normal, i have even started walking to work where as before i couldn't think of anything worse 'why walk when i live on a bus route?!' was my motto.

The last 2 weeks at class i have lost 2.5lbs so i am 5lbs lighter and 10.5 away from goal, but more importantly i am 5.5 away from going free again and seeing as ww has a price increase looming, i better get my backside in gear!

Sorry it's been such a long blog and i will try to update more often and next time i will even try to make it interesting!
