that's what i got through by this week!
I lost 0.5 lb this week but considering it wasn't the best week i have been lucky.
So that leaves me 2.5lb to get the 8 stone before we go to Blackpool and that's one more wi so it's not looking hopeful.
I do plan to have a good week, but bearing in mind i was in this frame this time last week and it went to pot, i wont hold my breath.
That little gremlin is sitting on my shoulder saying 'why are you bothering when you are going to gain next week when you drink your body weight in alcohol?'
Well although i am off work from Saturday, i am not going away until next Wednesday so theoretically i can have a good wi, but will i stay strong or will i go off the wagon on Saturday?
Answers on a postcard please?
to everyone that follows and comments on my blog.
I am up to 77 followers now and i love reading your comments on my posts, i don't always get the time to read everyone's blogs in return but i do try and comment when i can so please don't feel neglected/ignored if i don't.
It is real people like yourselves that keep me going, especially in tough times ie; since goal! :o(
can i manage 2 in a row?
We shall see, if i do it'll be the first week in ages!
Well i went to WI this morning and lost 3 lbs, we had a bit of a moment of confusion as last week i forgot my card and my leader hadn't logged my weight the previous week, the long and short of it was that i didn't gain 4lbs last week, it was 'only' 3.5, much better don't you think?? Lol
Total embarrassment this morning, we had a stand in leader and she asked me lots of questions, it's nice, don't get me wrong but i do feel so sorry for the other people in my class, most have heard it all before and i sit there worrying that they hate me and wish i would shut up!
I also put my mouth into gear before my brain and disagreed with something she said, she did say i was right 'in a way' but i really shouldn't have said anything.
Someone had asked how many points they would need to eat before they gained, well she said 1 or 2 extra a day, now bearing in mind that i have eaten 5-6 a day extra and still had a 2lb loss before, and this week i averaged 22-24 a day ( theoretically i should be on 21) and lost 3 lb, surely it's down to the individuals metabolism and exercise levels?
Anyway, i must try harder to keep my gob shut, but i stand by the fact it's not cut and dried and just down to 'number's, we are all different after all?
Opinions on a postcard.....
People were talking about a tummy tuck on the ww board and i have said i am happy with the way mine has turned out, considering what it was like before.
So here it is!
Well i got through yesterday, so that's a plus.
This morning i had to go and have a blood test so that meant i couldn't have a cuppa when i got up.......what torture!
So off i went to have my blood taken, ironically before ww i had very high blood pressure, now it seems that it has gone the other way, apparently my bp drops dramatically when i stand up so that explains the dizziness, fainting and the shakes that i have had in recent weeks.He is testing me for anaemia, protein and other things but how strange that now i am eating a FAR healthier diet than i did before ww, it is now causing me problems.
So anyway i get back home, SO looking forward to the cup of tea to find an unwelcome company at the door, i wont go into details but suffice to say the result was me wanting to eat my body weight in chocolate OR have a cigarette or BOTH!
The good news is, after he had gone, i drank my cuppa and toddled off to my leaders Wednesday class, yes i had heard it all yesterday but it just got me out of that mindset that chocolate or cigs were going to make my day better.
Had a lovely chat with some new faces and came home, prepped tonight's dinner and ate a lovely 2.5 point lunch (see below)
All in all so far, so good, i am now going to go for a lovely long walk and will keep busy doing ironing when i get home, here's to a good week.(by the way, jelly and yogurt is yummy, even if it does look a horrible mess lol)
I have been to WI and gained 4lbs, i am ok with that, it could have been a lot worse!
I have changed my stats on here and on my ww profile so what you see is what i weigh, no more 'forgetting' to change them for fear of looking a failure.
I ate, i gained, it's my fault, i need to learn from this and move forward.
We are off to Blackpool in 3 weeks to take Sarah to see the lights so i would love to have the 4 off by then and maybe the extra 2 to get my 8 stone but i wont push it, but i AM going to stay focused, no more big bags of giant buttons for me.
Everything was going ok, i was off the cigs, felt ok but suddenly last thursday i had one of those 'i fancy a binge' moments (please say i am not the only one that has them?)
I can't even remember how much i had, but suffice to say i overate and one thing i can remember are the 2 bags of giant buttons and i am pretty sure they are 22 points each!!
Oh and the numerous mini chomps ( i will not go in the cadbury shop again and buy in bulk, i promise!)
Friday was no better, i went out with a mate from work to Loughborough where we ended up in a pub eating burger and chips and drinking smirnoff ice ......at lunchtime, so you can see where this is going, the whole day went pearshaped and after the ice cream (well the sun was out) and the kit kat caramel (in for a penny in for a pound) i even had bloomin KFC for tea!
So we get to Saturday, actually for someone that was sent home from work as i felt sick, (which i am sure was just pure over indulgence) i surpassed myself and on the journey to Crawley for a gig, i managed to get through a whole bag of foxes glacier fruits...note to self, next time, pick something nicer, ie cadbury's eclairs ;o)
So there i was all dressed up for the gig and i should have known it was a bad sign when i decided to change out of my dress and put on my 'comfy and large' size 14 jeans, t- shirt and my trainers, which actually was fine as no one was that dressed up as it was a laid back affair but of course i felt all relaxed so i would hazard a guess that at least 15 smirnoff ices were drunk, not forgetting the compulsory spring roll from the chinese!
Eeek, this list gets longer, Sunday morning we wake up in the b&b and have a full breakfast, lots of yummy toast ( i rarely eat bread) with real butter.
Bag of nuts in the car (almost healthy?)
Arrived home and went to Asda, totally shattered so i decide to make quick and easy Spag Bol, it's a ww recipe so that's ok?
Well it is unless you also have cheese and garlic bread AND doughballs, finished off with Lemon Meringue Pie!
So after that lot it will come as no surprise that i got on the scales on Monday morning to a gain of 9lbs!!
So as of yesterday i am firmly back on the wagon and a small consolation is this morning's SP already says that gain is now 'only' 5.5lbs
Hopefully i can repair some of the damage this week.
