Before After

slowly

Losing all pateince with myself and how yucky ajnd fat I am at the moment.  Only one pair of jeans fits and I hate them.  ANd I am job hunting so really can't spend any money on clothes.  Miracle of miracle s have met a vute guy in this condition.  A firefighter no less!  But almost fear datign him as I only hva elike one shirt which makes me look cute at the moment and all cute underwear has long since been put in the "to wear later box".  Eek.  Ok, I must make some kind of random rule for myslef to get myself back in the 160s....  Exercise will be back on as of Dec 14th when I get back form long weekend away with friends, so can't count that till then as its bloody freezing out!!!!  I am already totally blocking diary and refined carbs.  Any other ideas from anyone on a wee kick start just to get me back into my jeans?  I arrive back in ireland dec 28th and will join a gym and do a healthy show over there, but need to be able to look cute for NYE in london.  NEED TO!!

this time

trying to be good - ww food and meal replacements for breakfast as I tend to splurge on this meal!  I miss my digital scale and am having to make do with the old school one at my parents house but will be hitting the gym this week so will use a balance or digital scale while I am there.  ANd of mine and I have begun a challenge for whoever loses 7lbs first has to send the other one a cute pair of undies in thier new size, and my conpetative side is comgin out!  I twice yesterday went to get the handful of chez mix which seems to be automatic when I walk past it and thought of challenge and said no!  I did have two glasses of wine yesterday - but f it - I desrved it.

I have a date tonight and am feeeling the bulge harming my ability for cute dressing.  maybe I'll hit up a store and try to find a new option on the cheap....

 

ugh

 I'm back and sick to death of this shit.  Not the blog - which I have ignored - but not feeling 100% cause my jiggly belly is in the way of getting to my new life.  Its on... :P

oops

after losing like 18 pound sin the worst breakup I never bothered imagaining, I have recovered some of the heartache and all of the weight. Ya basta.  Enough.  Tomorrow is a new day.  I need to log EVERYTHING I eat again and get to 10 st for my brothers wedding in novemeber,  That;s it. x

with her tails between her legs...

I am back and the same weight (minus .25 lbs) that I was a year a go when I joined this site.  Not going t dwell though, just going to get on with it.  I woke up this mornign and wrote a plan.  I know how to do this, it is not rocket science, just slow hard-work combined with exercise. 

I am living in London now, was pretty broke for a while, so couldn't afford a gym.  I can't find a ww meeting near me either.  A friend from DUblin flew over last week for my bday and brought my electric scale over with her as part of a bif bag of stuff which I couldn't fit on the plane with me the first time around. Seeing that I had undone my hard work was pretty disapointing. 

I turned 25 last week and I am bridesmaid to my futre sister-in-law in a little over three months.  No more joking ladies, you are about to see some serious change!

Wednesday

Went to yoga last night.  Was amazing.  Why did I leave it so long?  Crazy. 

I am down a bit more.  Getting closer to my pre-xmas eating patterns. 

Tuesday

Updated tracker.  How gross is that?  Insomnia conquered last night.  I am well rested and off to yoga tonight with a girl friend.  I have been making all my own meals and drinking TONS of water this week. 

January return

Hi all,

Back in work (with a computer) in Ireland after three weeks stateside for the holidays.  I am currently floating at a weight I won't bother revealing till friday which is a week after my return flight.  What seven days doesn't erase is permenent damage. 

I am sssooo tired right now as I had a night of insomnia last night and can barely keep my eyes open. 

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

 

Finally

So..  I saw a dip on the scale this morning.  I am finally moving in the right direction again.  I am now at 155, I am still 6.5 lbs above my low back in August. No rest for the wicked until I am back at my low.  It was SO stupid to undo what had taken so much effort to achieve.

I didn't make it to the gym last night, I was at work until 8:30 instead.  And then I had to go to a party for a guy I know who is moving back to Brazil.   I somehow had a bottle of wine, 8 crackers with salsa and four potato wedges for dinner.  My loss appearing today instead of the day before when I had eaten three healthy/ well proportioned meals and worked my ass off at the gym defies all logic.   

No Change

I earned another 5 APs yesterday, bringin the week total to 12.6 after just two days.  That's just a few points behaind last week's total in two days!

I still haven't seen any change in weight though.  Just a fluttering between 156-158.  Today I am exactly 157.  WTF? I really wanted to be 150 when I flew home as I don't have a gym and will be there three weeks, but it looks like it won't happen now :(. 

I will continue my gym everyday until home challenge though.
