Fiona 'fesses up

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:07

I haven't exercised again since Tuesday. I have one lonely star on my calendar.

No excuses.

Good news! I realised my hormones were a mess having just stopped the pill, remembered last time I felt like this my doctor put me on high doses of fish oil (6 capsules) and evening primrose (1 capsule). So Thursday night I took some. And last night. Been improving (moodwise) daily.

Does shopping count as exercise? Last night I shopped for 3 hours and today I walked quite a bit to and from appointments and shops... no formal exercise though.

My new "billy blanks tae bo boot camp" DVD arrived today... I do plan to exercise tomorrow! We are christmas shopping from 9am, but the afternoon is free! If it stops raining (yay for rain, maybe the drought is starting to end???) I will go outside and walk, otherwise it is Billy or the wii.

Promise!

I have been reading your blogs, just not really commenting... sorry about that!

Today I am grateful:

For my wonderful husband

For my amazing Mum (she is making our thank you cards AND a little wedding photo album for Ian's Mum)

For my crazy, cute and snuggly cat (when she is not bringing in frogs!)

For the fact that I may be transferring to a much busier section of the project at work

For happiness, sunshine, love and good health

MORGAN STALLEY REMAINS BULLISH ON INDIAN REALTY

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:07

The global economic slump and downturn in the real estate hasn't deterred Morgan Stanley Real Estate from going ahead with its India plan. It's planning to invest an additional $1billion over the next five years and has recently formed a large team for Indian operations. These investment plans-the company had earlier invested about $750 million in the India-come despite views that India could see fewer commercial investment transactions in the near term.

There is an opportunity to develop asset management expertise in real estate to help grow the property industry, said MD of Morgan Stanley Capital KK.

The company has formed a 12-member team for this purpose and has also appointed Naresh Naik to head the asset management division.

"Infrastructure is the key to support new residential, industrial and retail facilities. Limited institutional ownership of property means little asset management expertise exists outside of individual owner-users of property," said Williams.

mummy fat not baby fat

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:05

Someone said to me yesterday that my 'fat'will come off eventually as it is just baby fat, wel I jokingly said that it is actually foodfat. After a while I came to the conclusion that it is actually mummy fat and if I just leave it to magically melt away I will be waiting a long time. I walked another 7 miles yesterday bringing the weekly total to over 20 miles, The fat fairies also came overnight and took away 4lbs of fat, it was there when I went to bed!! In the 2 weeks I have been using weightlossresources.co.uk I have lost 11lb, so to say I'm floating on cloud nine at the moment could be true. My new gym trousers were also delivered and they fit like a glove, in a size 18 so I feel like I am back in the real world clothes shopping wise, still got 2 bulging suitcases full of size 12's an 14's though so a long way to go, but when I start seeing results I start to really enjoy the challenge, and the attention and praise I get from other people suits the attention seeking part of my character.

day 3

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:04

the hardest part would be the weekend. so many oppertunities and so many people trying to sabotage something good. i held tight and resisted the urge to eat cheesecake for a co-workers birthday, and desert at dinner. i did however eat out for the first time on my diet- i ate heathy until the end and i ate the leftover quesadilla. oh well.. there is always tomorrow right?

Lost a lb, bought a dress

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:03

Lost a lb at weigh in. Really pleased and now only have 1.5lbs to go to my new goal weight. I've booked 5th December off work as I think this will be the day I get to goal and I'm going on a huge spending spree and chucking everything crap out of my wardrobe

I bought a dress with the office christmas party in mind. It is very figure hugging and I'm still not certain I'm going to wear it. I'll see if I see any I like more on my big shopping spree I think!

2nd time lucky!

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:03

So...this is my first post im actually a few weeks into my weight watchers journey so ill give a little update on that!

I started weight watchers in 2007 at 13 stone i had 2 and half stone to lose , i managed to lose 1 and half stone but for some crazy reason i stopped going!

I fell in love and got complacent and the weight gradually crept back on i started again for the 2nd time on 6/10/2008 and have lost a measly 1.5lb! Ok so i have had a holiday in the middle but at the moment i just feel like im getting no where.

But im back on it , this week ive completly changed what ive been eating and am hoping for a good loss on monday ....fingers crossed!!!

The First Week Is Over

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:01

It's a great feeling that I made it through the week and with a weight loss of 9.2lbs to boot! I know that most of the weight that I have lost is probably water, but I don't care for two reasons:

Now the water has gone any weight I lose will be due to fat burnt off

Physically I am lighter- yay!

Recently I have been indulging in a bit of vanity. I made a collage of some of the pictures I have of myself when I was a size 10-12 and saved it as my desktop background. Everytime I see the pictures it reaffirms my belief that I can lose this weight again and this keeps me going. It also serves as a reminder to all the great times I used to have when I was slim and I can't wait to start enjoying my life again.

People think that I am silly not wanting to socialise because of my weight, but they have no idea what it's like to go to the shops and the only things you can buy to wear that are nice are shoes, bags and other accessories. Why should I go out, wearing ugly uncomfortable clothes, feeling very self-conscious. I personally believe that it is better to go out when I am ready and feel great about the way I look. Hopefully, that is not too far away now that I have started on the right track.

To sum up, I am very happy with what I have achieved this week and it has given me extra motivation to carry on!

Definitely a deja vue! :)

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 22:02:00

Oh, I have done this before. Even here on extrapounds...unfortunately i forgot my username and password...lol.

I had a second baby end of October. I will try to get my body back in shape. My belly especially is looking mighty weird...sagging like there is no tomorrow :(

I am not totally sure about my current weight since i don't have a scale. I assume I lost all my pregnancy weight. I weighed myself 16 days after the delivery at the doctors office and by then I lost all 13 kgs that i have gained during pregnancy. But my body is far from being like before the pregnancy. None of the pre regnancy clothes fit yet :( and i am all soft like a jelly...specially my belly.

Wish me luck! :).
