Whoop! 31.5" gone!

Did my measurements today and my hips have exited the 50" club, and are now in the 49.5" club. How very pleased am I! I've lost 31.5" all over since January.

7" off each my hips and waist
4" off my 'under boob'
2.5" off my 'across boob'
And a couple of inches off each my thighs, calves and biceps.

The core thing is still going OK, although I'm really not sure what my portion sizes should be like. Still working off my normal points portions, but some people think it's not enough. Not sure I like core actually.

B:Bacon and egg - banana
L: Vegetable couscous salad
Sn: Apple
T: Chicken breast fillet, jacket potato, salad, and jelly and natural yoghurt for after.

We'll see what happens on the scales next Wednesday!

Swapped programme

I've decided I'm bored of WW points (having gained 0.25lb this week) so I've changed from the WW points programme to the WW Core programme. Which, if I understand it right, is a list of foods you can eat over three meals a day + fruit snacks IF you need them. There's 21pts as well for extras such as wine, or bread.

Today is the first day I've done it and so far I've eaten:

B: Porridge
L: Ham salad
T: Pork chop, new potatoes, broccoli, carrots and runner beans followed by a banan
Sn: Apple, orange, banana

Let's see how it goes!

OH DEAR

Oh deary me. I have had an awful eating week. Three stone came and I let loose. I'm really annoyed with myself. BUT I'm getting back on the wagon tomorrow morning after my weigh in and I'm going to kill it this week!

(I shouldn't bake victoria sandwiches)

Whoop! 3 stone down - gone FOREVER!!!

I lost 0.75lbs so hit my total 3 stone loss today!!!! WHOOP! I really want to lose another two stones before the wedding - 7 months and counting.

Here's a pic of me today! Excuse the bra peeking through the blouse - I was pulling my shoulders back and accidentally made my blouse gape!

One more day until WI

Sneak peak showed a gain, bleh, I'm getting really fed up of this diet malarky. Today I ache like you wouldn't believe, and I feel sick and my throat hurts and I stayed home from work. I spent the whole day doing housework because continuing to move was less painful than sitting down.

Pretty pleased with my houseworking results though. Don't think the house has ever been so clean and tidy.

Ordered a size 20 dress from eBay that should be here tomorrow, hoping it fits - just my boobs I'm worried about.

adidas Women's 5k Challenge - Birmingham

So today I did the adidas Women's 5k Challenge in Birmingham - very pleased with myself as I managed to complete it in about 50 minutes. I did a sort of jog-walk. Fingers crossed it helps shift a pound on the scales on Wednesday!

STS!

I'm pretty pleased considering my TOTM, so hoping for a good loss next week.

Well so far

Doing well so far, to try and recoop my bad week last week.

I went to badminton with my fiance, best friend and her boyfriend tonight and it was loads of fun. I sweated loads and enjoyed it, so that's gotta be a good thing. I earned 4.5pts doing it.

Weigh in day tomorrow!

New week, new month, new me

RIGHT. This is IT. I am going to lose weight if it kills me.

I'm over by at least 15 points this week. So kind of expecting a gain or sts on Wednesday, but I'm gonna put that down to a very bad TOTM and move on. I want to drop a half a stone by the time it's Deb's birthday on 26th September.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's my line drawn.

Self-Sabotage Week

Can't stop eating. It's the TOTM, but really this is silly.

I keep thinking I have 7 months and 2 weeks until the wedding and I CAN lose another 3 stone before then. But then my hand reaches out for another packet of french fries. WHY OH WHY.

Well, I'm gonna let go for today I think. I feel like crap. My grandma and great grandad saw each other for the first time yesterday in ages. It was his 89th birthday yesterday and he's in a home for people with dementia (he has alzheimers). Apparently when she walked in the room he welcomed her with open arms and they both cried for about 15 minutes. He told her he'd been looking for her everywhere.

So of course, I've spent the afternoon balling my eyes out and feeling like my heart is breaking for my grandma who's having to grieve a man who's still alive.

Gonna enjoy my dopiaza tonight, then pick myself up of this floor of self-pity and self-sabotage tomorrow and GET MY ASS IN GEAR. For my great-grandparents.
