Well, the long & short of it is that the weigh in before my holiday I got my 2st sticker and officially got to a BMI of 25 (and 4 lbs less).
My holiday was good. I'm so glad I lost weight before I went because I still felt like a great big fat lump. Still - it could have been worse!
When Tony & I got married in August 2005 I fell in love with a dress I saw in a shop window. It was the last one and I hadn't a hope in hell of fitting in it. Well, I wore it for the first time on my holiday!!!!!
Getting back to reality I missed 3 weigh ins and didn't diet for 4 weeks and that resulted in a gain of 10.5lbs. But that's ok. I knew I wouldn't diet on holiday. Luckily today I weighed in and i've lost 5.5lbs of that.
The excellent news is I plucked up the courage to see my GP about a tummy tuck. I went there all prepared with a speech about how depressed I am etc, but i'd hardly got started when she asked to see it. I showed her & she immediately started writing! My twin pregnancy was not kind to me.
Anyway, my app't will be coming through very soon for this month. I'll keep you updated but please cross everything for me.
I'm just going to go official with my "before and during" picture now. I still have 21lbs to go to get to goal so not there yet. Be kind!!!
I know i've been good - so WHY do I always panic?!! Could be because I only need 1lb to get my 10%, but because of losing well last week surely I can't lose well this week too?
... did I think i'd get another loss like in my first week, but i'm sooooo happy to say that after last weeks 3.5lbs gain, i've lost 5.5lbs this week - and the period that wasn't, now IS! I came on finally this morning.
I'm so pleased I didn't give in like I have done so many times before. I kept going away at it (and the diet ) and i'm well and truly back on track to be (hopefully) in the late 10's or early 11st's by my holiday in 10 weeks!
But don't feel any lighter. I thought I was having a period on Tuesday but it turned out to be just spotting. I'm so disappointed, I feel really sluggish. T said he'd "give me one" as there are chemicals on his c*ck to bring me on..... I politely declined and suggested he gives it a swill because it sounds unnatural!!! lol!!
My £6 rowing machine form ebay turned up. For the money it's excellent - brand new too. Unfotunately the twins have taken to it so i've only done 15 mins on it so far, but I aim to do 4 x 15min sessions a day.
I'm being good on the diet this week, but without a period God only knows how i've done.
There's a good reason I haven't updated my blog. I've been an absolute porky pig!
I only lost half a pound last week and I deserved to lose at least 2lbs so I was fed up about that. I had that night out planned so I knew i'd blow the diet then and it just put me in a bad place mentally. Because of my PCOS i've not had a period since 1st Jan and i'm so ready for another - I feel really heavy and bloated. So - there are my excuses.
It's weigh in tomorrow and i've decided to tell the leader not to tell me my weight. She does this for other people so it's not a problem. I only want to know if i'm slimmer of the week (by some remote chance) or I reach 11st 11lbs which is my 10%. I haven't got time to be disheartened about only losing half a pound resulting in me putting 3lbs on or something.
I'm just looking forward to getting back on it and eating healthy. I miss the self respect I was starting to get used to after another good day of sticking to the plan.
On the up side, i've still exercised this week and done abou 10 miles walking, and yesterday I went on my bike for the first time in about 7 years. What fun that was, although I do worry about my vagina eating the saddle. Must get a bigger one (saddle - not vagina!!!!).
Last week also I "won" and ebay auction for a new rowing machine for the princely sum of £6! It's not going to be a fantastic one but it'll at least give me an idea whether I want to buy a more expensive one in a few weeks. It's still cheaper than joining a gym because at my old gym I only used to use the elliptical strider and rower anyway and i'm not paying £35 a month for that!
So - I will update my weight graph in a few weeks. It's only 11 weeks until I go on holiday so hopefully I can fetch another stone off by then.
I know i've stuck to the diet. It's Sunday and I weigh in on Tuesday so it's guarenteed i'll be good for tomorrow, but WHY am I panicking?!!! It could be because i'm working to a deadline I s'pose.
My friend has just this minute phoned me to have a Christmas drink. We went out over Christmas but had to finish the night early because she had what turned out to be a nasty kidney infection. When we go out drinking we REALLY go out drinking so i'll have to be very careful about what I have... and hide it from her! How the fook can I manage that?! AArrrrgghhhh!!!
Wooo-hooo! My first stone in 5 weeks - i'm so thrilled!
S did amazingly well too & lost 4.5lbs getting slimmer of the week. She won all the fruit AND a lovely Slimming World mug! Her confidence is really starting to show now & she's just got such an attractive personality everyone loves her. I felt a bit out of it at one stage but she's a good girl and i'd rather see her happy than miserable. Anyway, there's good piss take material there! lol!
She took great delight in calling me Norma no mates, but it was all lighthearted banter. If it turns out not to be I might have to sneak some lard in with her coffee!
Oh yeah... is it me or is there alot more advertising on this site now?
Becasue of the dodgy start I had to the week I don't think i'll have lost 2.5lbs to make my first stone, but my damage limitation has been good so the summery for the week is sunny with strong winds coming from the south - that'll be the fruit then!
Tonight i'm going to try my old trick of wearing a bodyshaper to bed. It always helped with my water retention in the past. Luckily T is working away or the sight of ll that shiny man made fabric would excite him a bit too much!
Will update tomorrow after weigh in. Wish me luck & prey I don't get thrush!
) and i'm well and truly back on track to be (hopefully) in the late 10's or early 11st's by my holiday in 10 weeks!
