Well i decided i would get my new workwear uniform today, so i took a size 20 jeans into the changing rooms, TOO BIG, went off to get an 18, TOO BIG, there were no 16's but yippee!
Granted they were a large size 18 but it felt pretty good.
Then, this afternoon, i decided to clear out my wardrobe for the 3rd time, DH has taken a big bag of clothes to cancer research but i thought i would share this pic of me in one of last winter's coats, we fell about laughing.
Well, i have been a tad busy!
I completely missed posting last week, i lost 1.5 last tuesday......
Then we left for Blackpool on the wednesday with all the good intentions that i was going to try and eat sensibly, not go over board, well we arrived there about 6.30, unpacked and promptly went off to the pub where i probably had about 10 smirnoff ices (25 points!) and a greasy burger (well you have to after a beer, don't you?)
The first breakfast, i though i was being good with 1 weetabix and yoghurt, then the landlord asked if i wanted a cooked breakfast and before i knew i had opened my mouth 'yes please' came out!
So that was how it went all 5 days, cooked brekkies, usually a sarnie or toastie in a cafe during the day and a fair few more smirnoffs (hic) and the burger on the way back to the b&b in the early hours.
On the upside i wore my pedometer, most days i was doing between 10 and 13 ap's and the best was 35,000 steps, one day i was even earning points before i went to bed LOL
Saturday was fab, the wedding passed in a flash, we had no music, we had forgot to take the CD to Blackpool, so we bought yet another one, only to get to the register office and realise we had forgotten that too, i can't begin to tell you how much Karl cringed when they put on 'Endless Love' by Diana Ross. Not quite the same as the Ramones!
As you can see i got married in the Doc's it was chucking it down and there was no way i was going out in sandals, just as well cos i felt totally overdressed as it was anyway. I am also convinced i should enter myself for a Gurning Competition cos all my pics are of me making a stupid face!
All in all we had a fab 5 days away, and although we were and still are shattered and recovering we still think we had the wedding we wanted regardless of what anyone says, we're weird and proud of it!
And lastly, i went straight back to WW yesterday, i asked my leader to text me to nag me and bless her she did, i only gained 2.5lb, i'm happy with that, i was secretly hoping for anything less than 7lb so hopefully that will come back off soon as i am witness to a friends wedding in 6 weeks and would love to drop to an 18 before then.
Must go, strictly speaking i am on honeymoon, things to do! ;o)
What a mad week, i have been so up and down, i have either been really busy and stressed or bored and wish I'd not taken this week off work!
WI was great tho, i lost 4lbs so that means i got my 3 stone which was what i was hoping for before the wedding.
I am still trying my best to stick to this, i am not on holiday yet, that's not til next Wednesday, then the damage will be done!
2.5 points per drink, eeekk, that's going to be a shocker!
Well i was a tad disappointed with this weeks loss, it was only 0.5lb and yes i know it's a loss but i had worked really hard, i did have company for 4 days but i worked my socks off to stay within points and especially after they had gone i walked and exercised loads :o(
Oh well 2 more wi's to go now, so whether i will lose the 3 lb to get my 3 stone is debatable, but i seem to have funny old losses, so we'll see and lets face it i've got my dress so as long as i don't gain, i can cope.
Loads to do at the moment, i think pre wedding nerves seem to be setting in, tried my dress on last night to show my neighbour and the zip is broken, had to take it to a seamstress yet again today so i get it back Tuesday. Nothing like a little panic eh? lol
WI today and i lost 1 lb , still a loss and we did go out for a meal and i have also dropped another point on BMI so that'll do me.
My Son and his lovely girlfriend are coming to stay for a few days this week so fingers crossed i wont stray too much.
I've finally bought the dress for the wedding, i wont show you a pic incase some nosey person (OH) finds this and see's it before the day but i am dead happy, it's lovely and was a complete bargain in Debenhams sale.
So my hope for this week is that i don't fall off the wagon as i've only 3 more wi's to go before the wedding.
WI no 11 and i lost 4.5 lbs, it's been a funny old 4 weeks with the little gain and a sts but the 2 losses still equalled 8 lbs so I'm happy with that.
Totm out of the way and now only 4 wi's till i get married so if i am lucky i can lose another half a stone, if i do it's great, if not i am happy as i can now get into a 20 comfortably and feel so much better that I'm not getting married as an 18 stone something bride.
Feeling really motivated again so here's to a good week :o)
Well i had my first sts, i am due for totm (today) but it's never really made any impact before so i don't know how i feel.
When i had my o.5 gain i felt the same as i do now, as if it's waste of a week of really good home cooking and pointing.
Grrr!
Oh and here are the last 3 months pics, i am hoping they show a difference?
