It's been a while....

.....that seems to be my catchphrase on here eh?!! 

I've had a few new things happen in the last few months, new house which is fab!  The kids have a garden, bigger bedrooms and no more stairs to climb to use the bathroom lol that's a big thumbs up!! 
I've gone back into education, currently studying Access to Primary Education which will get me into University in order to get the skills I need in to have a career when the kids are at school. 

Lastly, there's the weight gain....nothing new there but i NEED to try and shed it.   I've lost 5lbs this week without trying, likely down to the daily trips to and from college and less snacking cos i'm not at home all day, so that's hopefully the wee kick start I need.

Well here's hoping!

Fresh Start :)

I've given up to easily over the last few months so it's a new day and a new start from today!!  I don't want to be fat anymore!!  I want to be slim and like myself, I want to be able to go clothes shopping without looking for the 'plus size' area of the store!!  I gave up cigarettes 16 weeks ago now so I think my body deserves to be lighter, it's taken enough crap from me over the years.

My aim is to eat 3 meals a day with no snacking in between then a light snack on the evening before bed.  I also aim to be in bed at a reasonable hour through the week in order to feel refreshed every morning, ready to face the day ahead.  I plan to start exercising daily starting with 30mins a day on the wii fit and building it up.

So that's the plan..........time to put it to action

hello again!

I've well and truley fallen from the wagon and burnt my arse from skidding along the road behind it trying to get back on!! 

I was still taking the reductil tabs but still eating like a pig even when i was hungry.  I need to learn to fight past that sicky hunger feeling or learn to choose healthy options to fill that void until meal times.  I also need to sort myself some kinda daily exercise regime just to get moving and feel motivated.  Lazines is taking it's toll and chocolate has yet another hold on my heart making the scales slowly creep back up toward where i started

I wish there were a tablet for willpower!

Been a long time!

I totally forgot about extrapounds until I got an email in my Spam folder about it.....bad me!

Well i'm back....and i'm FINALLY losing weight!  It's with a diet aid by the name of Reductil but I was so fed up of not shedding even a measly lb that i'd take anything going.....if it wasn't for the pills i'm pretty sure i'd be up for cutting off a limb or two by now

So i've shed a total of 23lbs in 12 weeks.....it's been fairly easy and i've not had to do much yet but I know that won't last and i'm ready to fight the flab once and for all....i'm almost in the 14's already and i've not been there in about 9years so i'm grabbing at it with both hands and holding onto it, at least for 12 more lbs or so, then i'll do the same with the 13's

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrghh Boooo Hisssssss!

Joined Weightwatchers this morning and they weighed me in at 16st 11lbs, 4lbs heavier than me weighing myself last week at the Chemist.  Obviously the scales are calibrated differently but it still annoyed me lol!

My fist day back has gone well.....after I was weighed i went shopping and stocked up on low fat foods and yummies for my sweet tooth.   I'm well within points, in fact i've 9.5 points left for today and it's gone half past 7 already hehe! 

Lets just hope the rest of the week goes as smoothly

D-Day Tomorrow!!

Well the eve has come!  I rejoin Weightwatchers first thing tomorrow morning  

I'm looking forward to it in a way because i'm eating so much junk, have no energy and really, really want to sort my life out.  I just hope, wish and pray I can stick to the plan without feeling hungry.  I get stages where i'm so hungry I feel sick and this can happen merely an hour after breakfast! 

I am planning on starting afresh 100%, not guessing how many points are in things etc.  I'll be pointing like i've never done before as when I have rejoined I seem to slip into the trap of 'guesstimating' and/or still eating crap as long as it's within my allowance.

So, here's to tomorrow!  Wish me luck!

Weekends always seem tough!

What is it about wekends?  I never rose until almost 1pm this afternoon yet all i've done is eat since i woke

Today's almost over..planning on an early night and a good Sunday.  More housework needing doing as i've done eff all today but I know i'll feel better on Monday once i'm sitting in a tidy home

Thursday....well almost.

My big plan of action for Wednesday didn't go down too well, surprise surprise! 

I'm always harping on about how easy it is having two kids just 10months apart, and both under two years old, but in fact it's only bloody easy when i'm sat on my rear end doing nothing all day!!  They're so used to seeing me sat at the PC or playing with them that the minute i try to move outta sight it's mayhem! 

The only thing i managed to de-clutter was thier wardrobe full of clothes that are too small......I did that because they napped for an hour. 

So, Thursday is a new day, a new start and i'll try my best, again, to get some organised chaos into the upstairs area of my house lol.

Fingers crossed!!

Wendesday Woes

Today's the day i'm going to de-clutter upstairs......found my motivation, it was hidden within a pack of peanut m&m's  

Anyway, a line has been drawn under last nights binge....it's time for me to get my head straight, looking forward and up in the right direction.  I've loads to do upstairs so the fodder i ate last night will be burnt off in no time!  Hoping the kids will give me peace to get things done, i reckon i'll need to be an evil mummy and put a gate on thier bedroom door for today, just to keep them contained to one room for a bit.  It's tougher when you're cleaning and a 22month old is walking around behind you messing it up again lol!! 

They'll only be locked up for one afternoon....that's not so bad is it?? I'd love to be locked in my bedroom for a day lol i could catch up on all the sleep i've missed over the last two years.  Being a breeding machine isn't an easy job y'know

So i'll be making a start at midday.....I may even do before and after pics as it's almost a job for Kim & Aggie!  Though it's not dirty....just a cluttered mess.  I'm a messy person, not a boggin, clatty one

I have a roll of bin bags at the ready, bin day is tomorrow so it's best I de-clutter now and get everything out.  Nothing is safe.....If i've not used it in a couple of months then it's gone!

Wish me luck!!

Tuesday Blues

Off out soon, to face the freezing cold, to go food shopping.

Iceland, ironically! 

We've been holed up indoors since last Thursday and we're getting cabin fever never mind running low on supplies lol!  I'm going to weigh myself today, then stop eating shite until the 31st and i'll be joining Weightwatchers then.  Got to wait until payday as finances are short  That's what happens when you ask for Decembers wages a week before Christmas i suppose!

Anyway, it's only another week and the 31st of January was the date i first tried Weightwatchers 3 years ago, so it's a good date to re-start......only this time i won't fall off the wagon and drop another 2 babies.......can't deny that another one isn't tempting though

Ah, the blog title....Tuesday Blues because it's cold, icy, I need to go out in it and i've got a sore throat Also, the upstairs of my home is in utter chaos as we're decorating.....i've neither the energy nor the motivation to sort it out, but, of course, I have no option.

***sigh***
