Back to reality

I had the most amazing weekend in Stratford. Love's Labours Lost was one of the best plays I've ever seen. David Tennant was, of course, yummy. I ate and drank far too much (47 points over) but then I knew I would and enjoyed every mouthful.

Now I'm back to reality I feel really crap. Just want to skip to being thin! Am in one of those weird funks where I hate myself, my job, life etc... Always seems the grass is greener on the other side. Know I should be more positive but can't seem to snap out of it.

Oh no!

I knew I had to fall off the wagon eventually! Just over a week of being perfect and today I fall off with a bump.

Was meant to be going for a run after work to continue with my attempt to do some form of exercise 5 days a week. Didn't go...I was at fiance's parent's for tea so convinced myself it was rude to pop out for a run!?! I also had a Morrisons magnum type chocolate lolly thing...all 8.5 points of it. So I'm 8.5 over on my first day after weigh in, with no BPs earned... Not a good start but I guess I can claw that back pretty easily before next Tuesday.

The only downside (from a WW point of view) is that I'm in Stratford Friday/Saturday to watch David Tennant (mmmhhhh) in Love's Labours Lost. Although we'll be walking round a lot whether I can resist a cream tea and a pudding after my tea remains to be seen! I would imagine there'll be a fair amount of vino consumed as well...it's a girlie weekend away it would be rude not to!

Anyway, will try and be a good girl tomorrow although I can't do any exercise as I am meeting fiance and his ex-colleagues straight after work then have a meditation class then back out again! My social calendar just isn't helping my resolve...it usually involves baked vanilla cheesecake or a few litres of rose!

Oh crap I've just remembered I won a bottle of wine in a pub raffle last night and it's now calling. Aaaaaarrrgghhh must resist further fall of wagon! Sorry for the long post, it's stopping me getting up and going to the fridge!!!!!!x

Going in the right direction

Just weighed in and have lost 4lbs! Have been very good with the exercise and only went over points badly on Saturday.

It is the lightest week of my 'cycle' though so might either sts or gain next week.

Feeling a lot more sane about the whole weight loss thing now. I have to be thinner and I will be. Yes I will!!

Possibly back on track...

I'm not sure if I should declare it to the blog but I think I'm back on track...I think........

I went for a 15 minute run on Wednesday followed by 15 minutes of crunches, squats and lunges. I also did a 20 minute run with 15 minutes of crunches etc... again today.

Also I went out for lunch today and I'm only 3.5 points over and 1.5 of those is from yesterday. It's the first Wed-Fri in a fair while that I'm not going into the weekend at least 10 points down.

It was a facebook photo nightmare revelation that has sparked this burst of motivation. Lets hope I can make it stick and not become the human yo yo once again!

Back where I started

And I've finally done it. Kept gaining until I'm back where I started.

Don't know why I bother....I always end up back here.

Where does the time go

Nearly a month since my last post...can't tell you where this last month has gone.

I was on my hols last week but that only accounts for a week!

We went to Scotland and I ate my way through it. We did walk all day every day so that's something. Gained 3 1/2 pounds and there'll be more to come no doubt.

Was going to get back on the points on Monday and have been tracking everything but keep going over by 3 or 4 points every day. Can't seem to stick to it...Managed a run on Monday but have been so tired being back at work that I couldn't manage the planned one tonight (excuses excuses...). At least I'm walking to work tomorrow and Friday. Hopefully this won't encourage me to eat more...

I just can't get back the motivation. I know I want it but I obviously don't want it enough as I keep eating things I know I shouldn't. Frick frick frick!!!

Self sabotage...

I was doing so well. 3lbs off in 2 weeks. Exercise routine going good. Then this weekend happens. 3 takeaways, lots of cheese, no exercise at all and some horiffic binging on sugar later and I'm a whole 4lbs heavier this week. 4lbs. It's going to take me forever to get back to where I was.

I've decided to take the following steps this week to try and get back on track:

• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day (including weekends!)
• Drink 1 cup of hot water every the morning
• Do some exercise every day (even if it's just a couple of sit ups)
• Only 1 sugary item per day (I was on 3 a day last week - baaaad)
• Have one sweetener rather than 2 in tea/coffee (not weight loss thing just health thing, might help reduce sweet tooth!)

I think that's achievable if I put my mind to it. I don't know what my mind has been doing the past week...it's gone somewhere bad and I need to get it back on side!!

Thanks for the comments last week by the way :-) very much appreciated x

Well...

I lost another 2lbs this week! Very happy with that. Trousers are feeling a bit looser round the waist. Still struggling to get the weight off my bum and thighs though...why oh why won't it go!!!???

Hoping my Friday treat of wine and crips won't come back to haunt me on Tuesday. Here's hoping :-)

Back to it!

What a bad blogger I have been! I've got so much back into wedding planning I've almost forgotton all about weight watchers.

I've not been back to my meeting because of the parking situation but I've still managed to lose a pound last week and think that exercise has been a real help. The whole being good in the week and a bit naughty at the weekend seems to be working too...We'll see if I'm still saying that tomorrow when i weigh in - lol.

Back to it!!

I had a drunk pizza...noooo

Well I've fallen off the wagon...I was about 10 points over before the weekend began so there was no hope with a girls night planned for Saturday.

I watched the rugby before going out and was harrassed because we were losing so ate a bag of bacon fries, some walkers baked crisps and drank 3/4 a bottle of rose! The girls night then involved a lot of smirnoff ice...why I couldn't just have vodka and diet coke I don't know. At least I danced for 3 hours which will have burned some of it off at least. But then, as you may have gussed from the post title, I ordered a chicken and sweetcorn pizza...God it was good but it'll have been at least 20 points...plus I had the hangover from hell yesterday and went to bed at 7pm last night and slept right through until 7am. I just can't hack the nights out these days...I'm only 25 for goodness sakes!

I've been super good today after only having a mini crunchie, some iced gems and a chicken fried rice yesterday. Pork chop (minus any fat), mash and veg for tea and will try and resist any puddings. Am also off for a run with my friend in 10 minutes. They are just an excuse for a chat but we do actually run a bit so it's better than nowt!!

Trying to decide whether to sneaky peek the damage from the pizza...hmmm how thin do I feel??!
