WI Wk 19 and i lost 2 lbs
Which means i got my 7th silver 7, 50 lbs loss , 20% AND i got into the 14's, i was so chuffed and it's spurred me on even more.
I've dropped a point of course but in a wierd way i am looking forward to learning to live with even less, i have to get out of the high point sweet treat of an evening, i started on 29 points so i am gradually having to re think what treat i do allow myself, it's certainly never going to be a snickers or mars bar again!
We had a stand in leader again today and she asked me how i had done so well (poor class having to listen to me talk again)and i still say it's going back to basics, cooking from scratch, no buying in anything that will tempt me and the extra walking.
Feeling really positive today, i just hope it lasts!
The patch went on, had an awful night with nightmares that seemed to go on forever, got up and felt great.
I got 5 hours in the day when the cravings started and they went on and on until i caved in :o(
Under certain amounts of pressure at home and i suppose i just have to be glad that at least the eating is on track, i've beaten this food lark and i am sure i will beat the smoking, maybe my time isn't right so i will try again, when i feel better placed.
Well i put on a patch last night (nightmares all night) so it's day 1 of stopping smoking. Half of me thinks i am nuts to try both, the other half knows i have been determined not to overeat so maybe i can be disciplined enough to do both?
It was FIL's funeral on Thursday, how ironic that at the wake we're all standing puffing away when we've just been to the funeral of a chap that died of lung cancer, that's madness so enough is enough, i just hope i can do this.
Food wise it's been an ok week, although there was a slight blip, i resisted the food at the buffet only for MIL who was sleeping at ours to bring home the largest fresh cream sponge known to man and yep, i had 2 slices....eeek.
Hopefully i will claw that back over this weekend, i plan to keep as busy as possible to take my mind off smoking and stop myself from nibbling.
With hindsight i should have left that 3 hour job of clearing out the DD's pit of a bedroom until today.
Must go anyway as they say 'Idle hands are the devil's tools'
And i lost 1.5lb, didn't really know what to expect as i am feeling bloated and expecting the dreaded and of course i had a fantastic loss last week.
So all in all i am chuffed but i will just have to make those goals next week,maybe all 3 at once!
Struggled a bit this week, been over on points about 3 days but manage to claw it back with some long walks and lower point days.
This week i am going back to basics and going to try and keep off the curly wurlys, 4 in one day is not really learning a lesson eh? lol
And happy to report a 5lb loss,
I am really pleased that i managed to get back on track after the wedding, i always feared i would pack it in, so just happy to be back on the wagon and all motivated again.
The next goals in sight are 2 lb to go to my 7th silver seven, 2.5 to get into the 14's and 3 to get my 50lb certificate.
I'm not sure i ever thought i would get this far but to be 17 weeks in and still wanting to carry on is more than i expected.
Maybe i can go all the way this time, i certainly feel it's more of a change of lifestyle this time as opposed to a 'diet' that's been the key to the success so far, i just hope it continues, at the moment i can't imagine ever going back to my bad eating habits but i'm also not naive enough to think it will never happen so i will take one day at a time and hope for the best!
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)
