It was my choice to end relationship but felt really bad hurting him. We'd only been together for 4 weeks but he was very clingy and emotional, not for me.</p> <p>Got date with gorgeous man 10 years my junior next Saturday, now there's extra incentive to lose a few pounds by then! Won't make me look much different but will make me feel so much better inside and to me that's what counts the most.</p> <p>Having lots of water today and done some gentle toning exercises too, feeling very positive!</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/228895/phew-stayed-the-same">Comments(1)</a> 228895 Monday, October 30, 2006 23:04:09 Haven't i been here before? http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/226341/havent-i-been-here-before <p>Well haven't been eating healthily for far too long so back on healthy eating plan tomorrow! It would of been today but had to eat up all remaining chocolate around my flat, should of thrown it in the bin i know but not that virtuous! </p> <p>Bought lots of fruit and veg today ready so all geared up ready to go and feeling optimistic. Going to try to do 30 mins of aerobic activity every day this week to kickstart sluggish metabolism and start builing up fitness levels:)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/226341/havent-i-been-here-before">Comments(1)</a> 226341 Tuesday, October 31, 2006 00:06:16 start again! http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/120431/start-again <p>Well after a week of stuffing chocolate down my throat like it was going out of fashion i was brave enough to weigh myself and was pleased (ish) to find i'd lost 1 lb. Not on target so need to really knuckle down this week and drop my calories! Fingers crossed.</p> <p>Saw Keane in concert last night and spent 2 hours jumping up and down so hoping that has helped a bit, certainly sweated enough!</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/120431/start-again">Comments(0)</a> 120431 Friday, December 1, 2006 22:07:16 recovery http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/115359/recovery <p>well time for a bit of recovery now after bit of a blow out last night! ate sensibly all day but then went on works&nbsp;bowling night and had vegeatbles in pastry and chips washed down with 4 barcardi breezers<img src="http://www.extrapounds.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/confused_smile.gif" />&nbsp;</p> <p>2 days to my official weigh in and 2lb up on last week so need to be really strict with myself so i can at least stay the same. i'd be happy if i was still 17st 4 at weigh in, having lost 9 lbs the previous week (before i started this log) it's still a fantastic start.</p> <p>Still feeling positive though and looking at the big picture!<img src="http://www.extrapounds.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif" /></p> <p></p> <p></p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/115359/recovery">Comments(0)</a> 115359 Friday, December 1, 2006 23:08:09 Positively good! http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/114659/positively-good <p>Had a day off yesterday, normally i would of said i'd had a bad day but with my new positive thinking no day is a bad day anymore.</p> <p>Went out in evening for my usual thursday girlie night out and had an all day brunch and cheesecake to follow. VERY tasty and didn't feel guilty as i had planned to allow this treat and had eaten healthily all day.</p> <p>Feeling really upbeat today and back on track with healthy eating, managed to resist the usual friday morning hot chocolate in work with extra cream and marshmallows!

Not used to feeling good about myself and maybe that's why i'm still single, need to like myself before i can expect someone else to. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/pinkgnomie/comments/113983/here-we-go">Comments(2)</a> 113983 Friday, December 1, 2006 23:04:16
