Before After

Poo.

I'm not actually going to talk about poo, tis just the title of my post, hehe!
I was full of such good intentions yesterday, I've been having couscous with stir fried veg for my lunch every day this week and then a healthy meal on the evening. Yesterday we went over to a friends house and were going to get a chinese so I pointed for a King prawn chow mein as it's only 5.5 points.

BUT

They decided to go to the pub, a pub that DOESNT DO SALADS! so I ended up having chicken with linguine. No idea how many points that is, but also had a few glasses of wine as we stayed for the pub quiz and so blew points for the day, by about 5.

Today I met my friend Hol for lunch and because it was her birthday we went to pizza hut. I had salad with a couple of slices of pizza and a diet coke, but again I think its blown my quota for the day. I have no idea what I'm having for tea as Dave forgot to ask his mum. Am just praying its not a microwave meal otherwise I might just sniff it instead and be done.

Tomorrow I'm at home all day so will just have a WW soup, and a healthy dinner. Sat were going out on the night, but if I stick to vodka then I should be OK - unless I have about 12!!! Also going out for Indian so will check points on Noreen Blacks website today.

I can just feel my jeans are tight, and I absolutely hate looking in mirrors in shops (which I had to do today!).

I always whinge on here!!! On a positive note, when I go back to school it'll be soups and packed lunches plus running around after 10 year olds so hopefully the weight will drop off!

Got 2 months to lose around a stone in order to become Catwoman for Halloween - who says Catwoman can't be curvy!!!

Over n out xxxxxxxxx

bugger!

Well....

...have had a really good week in terms of getting work done and seeing friends and stuff. Had an ace night on friday with Rag, but have completely blown my points. Also we had family meal last night n mum did a curry so thats added to the points.

So far am over this week by 30. THIRTY POINTS!!! Arse. Salad sandwich for me today I think. Had porridge for breakfast today and will have a roast chicken dinner with boiled spuds tonight.

Boooo, expect a giant gain this week folks.
xxxxx

Let's put a smile on that face!

I love the Dark Knight, it's official. And Christian Bale lol.

Anyway, since last update which was months ago I have got myself a job at my second placement school in a year 5/6 class which is ace, start on Sept 3rd! Not too long now!

In terms of weight loss, its not going well at all. I just seem to hover around the same weight, either going slightly above or below it and it's starting to get quite depressing. Got back from holiday a week ago and had put on 2lb which I have since lost, but my jeans are still tight and I'm really conscious of it. Have started having porridge for breakfast as it keeps me full for longer, a banana smoothie around 11am and then a salad for lunch.

I think one of the problems is that I don't have my own place. My parents are fully supportive of my diet and really help with the meals they cook, such as giving me boiled spuds instead of roast - that kind of thing. But when I go over to Daves its mostly microwave meals. His parents are on the Cambridge diet so arent eating at all - so just buy in microwave curries and chinese meals and theres always loads of it. Have asked that we make our own stir fry tonight, try and get a little bit of control over my diet back. The only healthy option we get offered is chicken and steamed veg, which, after having it 2/3 times a week every week, gets a bit much!

Argh vent vent vent.
xxxxxxxxxx

really worrying

Its been a while since last post - have been so busy.

Finish uni and school this week which is cool, but I am still job-less. Went for an interview on friday for a job i really wanted with all my heart but didnt get it. It went to a lady with more experience than me. I am really worrying now because I literally have enough money left in my ISA for 2 months rent and holiday money to pay my mum. I cant afford to give them any less rent because they cant afford it. I'm really beginning to panic.

This is all linked to weight loss because: at this rate I wont be able to afford to go swimming anymore - seriously its that bad. I'm actually having to clear out the loft of things iv kept from being little to flog on ebay to get money. Urgh.

Situation is not good :( xxxxx

and also...

....the only girls at school my age are all super skinny, and it was Sports Day today so they were all dressed like skinny minnies whereas I wasnt. Boo. xxx

Bleh...

Am having a really, really bleh day today. Over absolutely everything. Am sat in a pair of short n all i can see is my stupid fat stomach, n i have horrible hair n everything sucks. Was waiting to hear about an interview today but they've not rung, so that either means that they've not decided yet, or i havent got one.

I dont know why I'm feeling so crap. Didn't pig out yesterday, had some haribo but I had points left over. Today have had:
B: 30g coco pops
L: school dinner - roast pork, 2 small potatoes, cauli, green beans, stuffing
                                 raison bread with low fat custard (it's for children it has to be!)
D: eggs flamenco (bacon, sweetcorn, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tinned tomatoes stir fried, with a cob)

I'm just so fed up of yo-yoing around the same weight and not really budging. I dont eat a great deal at school because I'm so busy, and I dont eat a whole lot for dinner really. Why is it so damn easy to put weight on quickly but not lose it quickly. Argh. This could just all be because I've not been swimming due to totm and am stressing over interview. Or lack of.

Hmph. xxxxx

3 weeks to go!!!!

Just 3 weeks left on placement now!!!! Hooray!!! I'm so so so tired lol. Was rushed off my feet today was running around like a mad person. So, todays meals are:

B: 20g cornflakes with skimmed milk
L: couscous with stir fried veg
Snack: rest of the couscous and a cuppa!
D: spag bol (4oz pasta)

Have noticed today that since the London trip, my trainers REALLY smell...may have to wash them lol. Was all the walking we did!!! And the fact it was so damn muggy I think.

Missing going swimming this week due to totm, rrrr. Think I've lost a few pounds, will get me a WW scales set once bursary goes in. Am a few pounds lighter on my scales so am assuming I will be on Rach's too!

That is all for now :) xxxx

Hmph!

Hmph indeed.

Well, have had a gain this week (i think!) or have I???? I have no idea because I weighed myself on Rach's WW scales and according to those im 4lb heavier than on mine! So am well peeved, have no idea whether I've gained this week, no idea how much I really weigh or anything!!!

Had an uber busy week so far:
Mon: Went to Tamworth Castle with Dave then saw Indy 4 again :)
Tues: Went to Londinium with Rach and saw GOK WAN!
Wed: Did lots of Uni work lol

Today have been to dentist which hurt like a b**** but my own fault for refusing an injection! Didn't think it'd hurt THAT much! Doing ICT work now (I should be, instead I'm procrastinating on here) then going to Bham museum avec Rach to see the new myths and monsters thingy.

Oooooh, bought a new pair of jeans about a month ago which were lovely but too small and now I fit in them!!! Maybe I'm changing shape but not weight. Crap knows!

Xxxxxxxxx

WI a bit naff

Well.....have put on 2lb this past week :( but i havent been sticking to diet religiously and I havent been swimming so I guess it's not too bad.

Went swimming last night but only managed 28 lengths due to a bit of a poorly tum :(, wish I could have reached 30 but it was really hurting so didn't want to push myself.

OK todays meals:
B: cheerios
L: school dinner - pizza, potatoes, green beans
D: mousakka! mmm

Am so glad I've broken up for half term now, sooo tired!! Hurrah for holidays :) xxxxx

extended stay

Well have had a lovely week looking after my aunts house/ cats - been almost like living with Dave which has been nice :). Now staying til Weds as theyve decided to stay an extra day.

Went to mums last night for a roast dinner mmm and dave has ordered pizza for tonight damn him lol. Oh well, maybe I'll just try n not eat much. Diet menu today:

B: small bowl crunchie nut clusters
L: ham sandwich
Snack when home - WW curry (4points)
D: pizza

Mightn't be too bad actually - not eaten that much today - had no time. Was observed this afternoon by Uni tutor - only got one more from him then it's all over! Got this week, then half term (london trip with rachey - huzzah!) then 4 weeks then that's it!!!! Good job too am blummin knackered.

Feel very bleh in terms of a lack of exercise, wandered around L'field on Sat, n walked to my nans on Friday, n obv am on my feet all day at school. Tbh i dont think iv lost or gained this week, which suits me fine atm. Just wanna get this week out the way.

In bad news car is leaking petrol again :( hoping to get it in on Thurs to be looked at, I thought it was fixed but apparantly not. Stupid rustbucket. But it's my rust bucket, and I love it!
XXXXXXX
