It's All Change!

  Don't you just love the new blog...  It's so fresh and clean and a lot more modern!  Just what we all need to renew our interest, and get a bit more motivated (well, we can try at least)!

Had a really nice evening yesterday...  YOGA!!  I love it!  My teacher was really impressed with me....  And we spent what seemed like forever moving between three poses; Downward dog to Plank to Upward dog to Plank and back to Downward dog again...  It was great fun but soooooooo tiring!!  I really can't wait til next week already! 

Hope you're all having good days!!!  xxx

If at first you don't succeed...

...try, try again!  That's what my Mum always told me to do, so that's exactly what I am doing!

I've managed to go back up to 11st 7 which is VERY bad and has greatly hindered my goal of getting to 9st 7 before my sister's weddig on December 20th.  Nevertheless I won't let it get to me as I had a cold hard dose of reality this morning which shook me into a healthy eating oblivion!!!

It was my brother's wedding yesterday, the weather was gorgeous and the sun shined all day long.  Everything was fantastic and went exactly as they had planned and all that went had a fabulous time...  My reality hit me this morning when I plugged in my digital camera and started scanning through the pictures......  There I was looking absolutely disgusting with rolls of fat showing through my beautiful teal coloured dress!!  Believe you me, it did not help to see my elder sister who looked absolutely stunning with her tiny waistline and perfect dress on (she has always been tiny and it is so unfair that I got the fat ugly genes!)

Anyway, enough of that....  So my reality shook me up, and now I'm back "on the wagon" but I know full well I'll need help staying on it.....  its a rocky road, and I know I'll be highly likely to lose my grip when I see a cream cake going the other way and I reach over to grab it and lose my balance....  So please do try and help me stay on the road!!

I'm off to bed now once but I shall be up bright and early for work tomorrow, plus I've got yoga after work to keep me fit tomorrow!!

Hope you are all doing OK!!  x

Yipee!

This is going to be a great week of weightloss for me - I can feel it in my bones (and the wobbly bits which are soon to disappear)!

I was mortified last week when I weighed 1st 8 but managed to get it down just in time for the Pink Team weigh in...  And now on Sunday (with no real effort might I add) I weigh 11st 3!  Just think of all the weight I can lose if I do put my mind to it!!!

Hope you're all having good weeks!  xxx

Morning!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good day yesterday!  I'm back again, and ready to kick some ass! 

When I get home tonight, I'm going to get my Davina McCall 3 30 min workouts and do some of those....  I really need to combat this...  Also, have to try and get down to the gym, but I just really don't want to go on my own...

Good luck with today!!!  xx

Determined

I am utterly determined today to crack this!!!  I am going to lose weight, no matter what!!!  Not had any breakfast yet as I woke up late, but will keep drinking water (hopefully that will keep my hunger at bay til lunch).

Not sure what to have for lunch again (lunches seem to be my biggest problem)...  Any ideas?

Think I'll have a small Weightwatchers meal for dinner for something different...  Really like them!  :o)

Hope you're all having good days!!! x

Just another day

Hi everyone,

I hope you have all had good days today.  Mine hasn't been too bad.  I didn't manage to have anything for breakfast, but managed to keep my rumbly tummy at bay by drinking plenty of water...  Had a baguette at lunch,which was very filling and I didn't eat anything after that all afternoon.  I went out with two of my friends who I've not seen for ages for dinner which was nice.  I was even well behaved and skipped the chocolate pudding with ice cream which I love!

Feel really good with myself fom yoga yesterday!!  It really made me feel energetic this morning and can tell it worked me hard as my stomach muscles felt nice and tight today, just need to make sure I get a workout in tomorrow afternoon to keep up the good work.

Hope you all had good days today!! :o) x

Here Goes - Day One, Week One

Right, here I am!  Back at work *groan* but feeling pretty good!  I AM DETERMINED, I WILL LOSE WEIGHT! 

Not really sure why I'm feeling in such a good mood at the moment.  I was feeling rubbish all weekend from receiving Nigel (b.f)'s cold, I attempted epilating my legs, and to be honest, I think it would be less painful to have them sawn off so I didn't ever have to shave at all and I didn't get to sleep easily last night so waking up this morning was a bit of a task!  And to top it all off, I've just arrived to greet 75 E-Mails at work, 99% of them giving me yet more work and more deadlines to meet...  eurgh!  Well at least that should help to keep me busy!

It's yoga tonight with Nigel's Mum, Anita, and I'm really looking forward to it, as I always do!  Last week wasn't fantastic, we had to lay on our backs all the time doing mainly leg work and having my back digging into the floor (despite the mat) really didn't help...!!!  So fingers crossed, we'll be doing more standing exercises which will make it much better...  It's really amazing how the hour just goes like that *clicks her fingers*.

Anyway, I guess I better start on the work I've been loaded with today...  anyone got any ideas what I could have for lunch?  I work close to Waitrose so will pop in there, but no idea what to get....  HELP!

Hope you all have a good day too!  :o)  xxx

OUCH!!!!!!

 Corr blimey!!!  I am in agony...  My sister persuaded me to by an epilator, which I've just tried out...  YIKES!  I've never found anything so painful in my life...  and I've only managed to do about 2 square inches of one leg...  Decided having a bath to soften the hair and my skin may help, but I'm not sure it'll be enough to ease the pain.....

Not been feeling good at all today, got the boyfriend's dreaded cold so trying to keep in the warm...  Hope you're all having better days than I seem to be today,,, hehehehe!  :o)

Take care x

In Need of Some Serious Motivation...

Can't stop to chat for long....

Yesterday it was my boyfriend's birthday, and as you do, you pop out for dinner with the family...  He had chosen a lovely chinese restaurant and dinner was delicious, but really didn't help the weightloss....

In need of some serious motivation right now to get me back on track before the weekend!!  PLEASE HELP!!! 

Aches and pains

Oh dear, after trying so hard, perhaps a little too hard, at yoga last night, I woke up this morning with such a stiff back and neck...  I suffered from whiplash a couple of years ago and feel twinges every now and again, but waking up this morning was torture!!!

Feeling a lot better now though that I am at work.  Had a really yummy fruit smoothie (orange and mango) for breakfast which suprisingly filled me up.  For lunch I've got Ryvita Crackerbread with a smidge of butter (sounds bland but I actually really like it) and I'm not sure what to have for dinner yet...

I must admit, I was feeling quite pleased with myself this morning.  Despite the fact that I'm back to my same starting weight as I was on 24th June, I've noticably lost inches around my body....

I lost an inch around my bust, bicep, thigh and hips and 2 around my waist.  My neck, forearm and calf have stayed the same, but it really did give me a big boost....  Still not dropped a dress size yet, but believe me, I'm working on it...  :o)

Hope that you're all having good days so far :o) Keep it up!! xx
