Well I have been on the slippery road for some time again. I have now decided that enough is enough and I now need to start my battle with the bulge all over.
Why do we do it to ourselves, I seem to be so good for ages and I love seeing the results as my weight goes down, but then CRASH, I stop logging in and start eating like I have never seen food before. I know I am doing myself no favours, but still I do it.
I have decided to turn my life around now, and this time I mean it. I have split from my other half, and happier for it, and I am also starting my own business, selling top quality fragrances and make-up. I am more focussed than I think I have ever been, so decided that the time was right for me to begin my journey for the last time :)
Please feel free to have a look at my website or my facebook page www.allaboutfm.co.uk/shonaghroulston
I've not been on here since last week as I have had a bit of a hectic time, but I have managed to stick to my healthy eating plan, which I was rewarded this week by a 4lb loss, so go me. I am very proud of myself and I am more determined than ever to keep this up until I reach my target - then the challenge will be to maintain it, lol
I hope you all have a great result when its time for w/i
Well this morning was my first w/i since I started back on my weight loss journey. I was very pleased that I had lost 3.5lbs. This is my boost and motivation to do as well this week.
Being good and saving my checks so that I could relax and have a drink at my friend's BBQ party seems to have worked, so in the future if I have something on thats what I will be doing. I have proved to myself that I can do it when I want to, so no more excuses.
I hope you are all managing to stay on track and wish you luck for your w/i.
Take care and stay strong, we know we can do this guys xx :)
Well I managed to stay on track this weekend and all I ate at the BBQ was two cherry tomatoes. I am really glad that I had made some chicken pasta to have before I went or I don't think I would have managed.
My only prob is that I may have overdone it with the drink, but I am hoping that the checks I saved all week were enough to ensure that I am still ok. Tomorrow is w/i so I guess I will find out then. Im just coming up to TOM so not sure how much of an effect that will have on me.
Hope everyone managed to stay on track at the weekend xx :)
Well thats me through another day, just got tonight to go, but I am so tired I think I will sleep most of the night away, which is a good thing as I can't eat when I'm asleep, lol.
I have been having a really hungry day today, but luckily I am in the office and there are no shops nearby, and I only brought my soup for lunch, a banana and my yoghurt. I did pinch two biscuits from someone, but small plain ones and I have written them down and counted them in my check allowance.
Just hope I can stay strong tomorrow when I am at my friend's, I really don't want to let myself down. I think if I get a loss on this first week it will be my motivation to continue.
Hope you guys are staying strong and sticking to your plans xx :)
Well I am still managing to stick to my plan, but then its only been a few days, lol.
I have a busy weekend and on Sat I have my friends birthday BBQ, so that will be a real test. I have been saving some checks each day, so I can have a few drinks and I am going to make some spicy chicken pasta and take that with me so I won't be tempted to have any of the BAD stuff, lol.
I have been writing down everything I have to eat in a wee notebook, as I really think this helped me a lot the last time. If I do have anything BAD I will write this in red ink, so that it jumps off the page and kicks me in the ass when I read it back at the end of the day.
I have not started any exercise yet, but once I know I am sticking with my plan, I will be starting some, I just don't want to overload just now in case I throw in the towel.
Hang in there guys, we all know the results will be worth the effort when we get to goal.
Its been such a long time since I have been on here and I have managed to put on most of what I had originally lost, so its time to battle the bulge once again.
I am not at my most motivated at the moment, but I have decided that it has to be now or never. I am hoping that if I can get through the first week and see a loss, that will spur me on for the next week. Small steps (and no its not because I waddle, lol)
I need to sort myself out, no one else can do it for me, although what I would give to have a fairy godmother and a magic wand, but sadly its not to be. It needs to be hard work and willpower from here on in.
I have not been on this site since April of 09. My weight has gone up again and after cruching my scales beneath my bulk this morning, I thought I would get back on here for some much needed motivation.
A lot of things have been going on since I last blogged, including a lot of eating. It is no excuse for letting myself down tho, so I am back and more determined than I ever was to shift my lardy belly.
I hope I get as much friendly advice and motivation from the peeps on this site as I did the last time.
Its good to be back because that means I have my goal in sight and my determination back, just hope I can keep it this time
As I never managed to get to my class on Thursday, I went on Saturday morning, as I really didn't want to miss it completely.
I am glad to report that I managed to shift 1.5lbs this week. I am delighted as after a gain last week, I felt as if I was struggling a bit to find my motivation and get back on the right track. I did managed to lose, but I know I am not being as careful as I should be. I need to get back to tracking everything that I eat as I have not been doing this for the past few weeks.
My plan for today is to cook, portion and freeze a variety of meals for myself, therefore I have no excuse to stray from my plan. I am also going to make a large pot of my fat free soup to use as a filler-up again, as this is another thing that I have not done for a while.
I have to remember that this is for me, for my health and for my happiness. If I am happy and comfortable with myself, my kids benefit as well, sometime I feel as if all I do is moan at them or get angry, but I think it is more to do with how I am feeling than anything they have done. Only ME can change this, so that is what I aim to do.
In fact, I am feeling so motivated just now that I mite even do some exercise, lol, in the form of housework tho, lol xx:)
Take care all, and mind and leave the Easter Eggs alone, they love your hips and will cling on for ages
Hi all, I hope you are all well and things are good.
I have not blogged for a bit, but I have been unwell. I have been to the docs and he is treating me for a stomach ulcer at the moment. I have a course of tablets to take for a month. He tells me that with medication they can clear up on their own, so I am not to concerned, although I was doubled over in pain for a couple of days, hence no blogs.
I have not been great on the eating side of things and I missed my w/i class last night. This was an error on my part. I seem to have lost track of my days with being in bed unwell and I thought it was Wednesday. I never realised my mistake until my friend called last night and by then my class had finished. I will be attending another class on Saturday morning, so I really need to get my act together.
I am off to the horse racing (scottish grand national) next week with my sis, so I will need to be extra good this week and save some of my allowance for the weekend, lol.
Hi all
