This weeks WI
So, this week I lost 2.5lbs, which I was well impressed with! I guess going to the gym at lunch time, and after work has really done the job for me.
It's been a weird week but I'm so glad it's Friday. We've got some halloween sweets in for tonight, but I don't think they'll last long if I'm honest, so we'll probably go out to Tesco once we're out of sweets and do the weekly shop to miss out on the rest of the trick or treaters (doesn't that sound mean!? lol)
We're at Simon and Jenna's engagement do tomorrow night, am looking forward to it but already stressing about what to wear. I think a trip to River Island at lunch time is called for!

Fed up now....
Rich has had to go work away in London. He left this morning at 6am, and I was nearly crying when he came to kiss me goodbye.
Dunno what's up with me, I'm not normally like this. I mean, I do miss him when he's not around, but not to the extent like I feel I could cry! I wanted to grab him and not let him go... He's back on Thursday night, so I cannot wait until then - am so loved up lately, wonder what's come over me! 
I'm at the gym tonight to get a new program loaded onto my key, so I'll probably shower at the gym, head straight to my mum's after (need a baby picture for a quiz at work) and then get home and early to bed.
The diet is going well - I hope.... I've not been an angel but I think I've made up for my slip ups over the weekend.
Anyway, must go do some work - hope the day flies by.....

WI today
Well, today is the dreaded WI day, and I am soooooo nervous.
I really really REALLY hope I've lost something - anything! - this week, I need it to give me a push i nthe right direction. I've decided that I'm gonna do a kickstart week next week - to see if I can give myself the head start that I need to try to get a stone off by Christmas....
Right - will do some work now, but shall be back later with my WI result

I have the worst.....
....tummy ache today 
I could easily go home and curl up in bed with a hot water bottle.....
Had a sneaky peek at the scales this morning, and looking like I haven't lost - AGAIN!! I am getting rapidly fed up with this now.
Am still waiting for my physio appt to come through before I reinstate my gym membership - but there's no word about that either yet - getting annoyed now because I'd love nothing more than to get back to the gym, but am not really sure if its the worst thing for me or not.... Grrrr....
Crikey- I'm a right moan-a-lot today. On a good note, I slept really well last night, I'm meeting one of my best friends for tea tonight (10 weeks before she has her baby - very exciting) and I have a wonderful boyfriend 
What more could a girl want?
A BLOODY LOSS ON THURSDAY!!! 
That's what I want!! lol
And breathe...........

So they finally sorted the weights out....?
I've not been here for a few weeks as I was miffed with the weights being screwed up. When it said I'd started at over 15st I was shocked! Tried to change it and then made a right mess - got major mardies on and closed the page in a huff lol
Calmed down now though and good to see the site is back to its former glory, and has had a face lift too - cool 
So, I'm playing with the same few pounds on and off at the min - it's really getting my goat. I've got 10 more WI's left til Christmas, and 23lbs to lose.... Being realistic here - I'm never gonna get to goal by then - Ithink I'd be setting myself up for a major fall, so, I'll be happy to be as close to 12st as possible. So, lets call it 16lb to lose.....
I have a habit of having these grand ideas, and thinking I can take on the world, then failing miserably at the first hurdle - well, I'm gonna have to be strict with myself this time.... No messing.
I don't wanna feel like a fatty ming mong at Christmas

Birthday week over.....
Well, I reached the grand old age of 28 on Tuesday and now there’s another 362 sleeps til my next birthday - how rubbish is that?? I love my birthday lol.
Saying that though I did drag this one out quite a bit. I left work at 3.30pm on Friday (5th) and my birthday began there and then. We did allsorts of fab stuff over the weekend and running up to my birthday. I had a pedicure, went to the pub with friends, went out climbing mountains in Derbyshire (in my brand new high tech outdoor gear that Richi bought my for my birthday) went Salsa dancing, visited York for the day, to Pizza Hut with my family (after which I was presented with a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cake – delicious) On my actual birthday we went to Alton Towers for the day - it was drizzling, but not too wet, and was very quiet so that was great. That night we went to Nando’s for tea, and then on Wednesday I had the day off work also, but that was for a hospital appt (damn my hips) All in all my birthday was wonderful, and I was spoiled with cards and presents... Richi also bought me a GORGEOUS bag from All Saints - I was so chuffed I actually cried..... He really does treat me like a princess - I love him to death.....
Anyway, it’s pretty obvious from all the above that I didn’t do so great with the diet this week, so I skipped WI yesterday lunchtime, and went to spend my birthday money in River Island instead - I know - I’m bad. So - this is it now. 14 more WI’s to go til xmas. 1.5lbs per week will take me to goal, and I am so determined to do it. I’m being bridesmaid for my best friend in August next year, and I want to have gotten to goal, and settled to a comfortable weight by then. Her other bridesmaids are both slim and stunning and would look fab in a bin bag with arm holes cut into it, so I am determined to look just as beautiful stood beside them.......
Operation Goal begins now......

WI
Just been to WI in my lunch and (drum roll please....) I lost 1.5lb! 
Now I know this may not seem much, but it's an achievement for me cos I've been feeling like I can't do this / can't get back into it and so on, so I've proved to myself that I can.... I'm now down to 13st exactly, so by my birthday on Tues hopefully I can be 12st something! That'd be great......
I've done some planning on my little spreadsheet and I reckon if I lose 1.5lb per week from now til christmas, I should hit goal the week before christmas day - what better present could I get?!!
This is truly it, the diet is back ON!!!
09/04/2008 03:24
OK - so I'm back......
Only a quick post for now - I have not updated this thing since April and LOTS has happened since then. I got down to 12st 7.5lb, felt AMAZING, then it was my sisters wedding, I was chief bridesmaid, again, felt AMAZING, then didn't got to WI for 7 weeks due to this and that (including 2 weeks in Florida when I didn't think about the diet once....!) Braved it and went back to WI on 7th August - 8.5lbs on!! Oooops.....
Anyway, I'm still struggling to get back into it but I'm gonna crack on now. I mean business!
Got WI at lunchtime today, and hopefully I'll have lost maybe 1lb, cos I'll admit, I haven't been great, but we'll see.
Anyway, am interviewing at work today so best go and prepare. Oh the joys.

When will I learn...
Just been to WI in my lunch hour - and I've put 0.5lb on. Now I know this is not a great deal, and really, for the week I've had I should be happy it's not more, but for the last 6 weeks I've been stuck in a circle of losing then gaining, losing then gaining. I must stop this cos it's just no good for me.
I'm getting lazy with the diet, and just pointing roughly, and it's never going to work that way. I was feeling so good last week after losing 5.5lbs (which just goes to prove that when I do concentrate, I can achieve results!) but now I'm just downright fed up with myself...
Right, I think I've given myself a good enough telling off. I must make sure I make more of an effort from now on or I'll always be a porker
