Before After

OMG, it's Wednesday night...

Where on earth does time go?

I have absolutely no idea. I also have no idea of my weight currently.
Yes, I'm a total scale whore, but I'm hiding from them.

On Monday due to having run out of clean jeans in a size 10, I put on the 12's ... they were baggy but comfortable .... and oh so tempting to put myself back into them permanently.

I did a whole load of washing and ironing and today I'm back into my 10's ... they're snug and not so comfortable. My mental attitude is different .... I need to get rid of the excess.

As I've stated previously ... I'm on maintenance for these few weeks and then going to get back to it. However, somehow in the midst of all this, I've gained the responsibility for my mother and her weight .. or at least the responsibility for her having to be accountable to me. I'm not quite so comfortable with this ... and then of course my DH decided to join in to.

So, she is quitting her Monthly Pass at WW .. because she hadn't been for 4wks and was paying anyway .... she told me that WW wasn't working ... erm ... more to the point ... she a) wasn't following WW and b) didn't like the leader (am there .. know the feeling!)

However, she has lost a stone in the past year ... and she's happy with this .. but still needs to lose another 2 stone.

Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey is what I've told her ....

But ... I've also told her .. I want her results and reasons each Wednesday ... not some "ah well, y'know" answer....

So, I suppose I ought to be a role model of sorts ...

DH also needs to lose about 1.5stone .... I wonder if I taped his mouth shut he could do it by Christmas ;)

Add to that, I need (want) to lose some weight (until tomorrow I have no idea how much) to be at 9st ... Christmas would be wonderful.

I also must must must find the sodding gym ... it's a small town, it must be there somewhere ... I had managed to make it a routine, so easily we slip.

Today's food:

Coffee x 3 with s/s milk
LJ with hot water
No water ... forgot ... sigh
Cider .. forsaking the wine for cider this week and cutting back in general
Hot chocolate with s/s milk and light spray cream with marshmallows
3 HM blueberry muffins ... in the interests of H&S you understand ;)
HM Seafood risotto .. with my DD's favourite .. baby octopusses (oh ok, so they're squid ... but she thinks they're octopusses!), mussels, prawns, and fully blown squid strips

Did I mention I broke a tooth on Saturday morning, it was all so wrong ... I had a hangover ... we were going away for the w/e, so I was looking for a quick fix .. I had a glass of lemon cordial with soda water for the sugar fizz effect, then reached for the G&B's butterscotch chocolate ... and cracked my tooth in half ....

Well, that made for a romantic w/e away, LOL ... with in my dentist's words "so you and DH played dentists and nurses then" ... *blush* .... so, next week I get to go and suffer the "fun" of having it all sorted.

I'm prattling, I'm going .... ciao for now .. and J-i-L ... don't forget your knickers !!!

You can do it!

You can find that gym.  Maybe you and your mom will be able to motivate each other.  And hubby too!  Good luck!

Follow the leader

Sounds like in maintenance you've become the cheerleader for a whole bunch of other wannabe-losers.  In the weight-loss sense of course.  No doubt that can be a tad challenging at times . . . don't forget to take care of yourself in the midst of the crazy!
