Slimmer of the Week Award

Busy week

Been a very busy week had to prepare for weekend craft fairs and had lots of Pamper and Nappy Cake orders to make up.

Pamper Cake

Nappy Cake

Have tried very hard to keep to plan but have really had a really restless week. Havnt even had time to go up the gym of do my DVDs.

Was very good at the fairs and only took good food with me but was really hard when you see all around you eating cup cake,s and bugers. L But stayed good and true to the plan.

Going to weigh in again tomorrow so fingers crosses. Still a bit fed up at just maintaining last week but mustn’t brood to much 

Not a lot happening

Not much happening at the moment am still on plan and positive so thats got to be good. Went and saw my daughters new house again yesterday its a bit small and they have got a lot of work to do to make it homely but it will come.

Havnt managed to get up the gym since Tuesday but have played half and hour of tennis both days & a 30min dvd work out so hopefully that would have helped. 

I wasnt going to measure myself this time but changed my mind this morning and decided would measure upper body as that is normally where I lose the inches first. Have decided to record it here. Under Boobs was 37 and over Boobs was 42 so next time I measure that will have changed for the better I hope.

Weigh in again tomorrow hopefully will have lost some more have been really good again and done loads of exercise

Weigh In not happy !!!

Went to weigh in tonight and was really disappointed after really trying hard and staying on plan all week only managed to maintain. I know its better than a gain but still felt a bit fed up but still motivated its only the 2^nd week

Did get my bronze fit award tho so wasnt total loss but do need to get back up the gym again and go for my next body fit award

Bronze Body Fit Award

Baking Cakes!!

Been a funny sort of day went to work as usual had a break between calls so went for a swim.

Managed to get on with some work on my websites - Magic Lady Crafts & Nobles Gifts starting to get to the busy time now.

I also made a cake and some muffins for my daughter to welcome her into her now home and didnt even lick a spoon was so please with myself and was really please with the cake. Went to my daughters to see her new home and give her the cake I had made for her

Came home and played tennis for 30mins on the wi and did 30 mins of Hanna Watermans dvd. Feeling a bit low today not sure why need something to occupy my mind but cant think what at the moment something will pop up.

                     

Not been hungry today and have stayed on plan but have felt all day that I fancy something but cant think what. Going to go and watch me soaps.

Wow!! lost three & half pound

Wow!! cant believe what a week been really good and lost three and half pound,

Been an excellent week and haven't felt hungry once. I have eaten a lot of yoghurts and fruit. Exercise

Been a funny sort of day today felt really weird waking up without the children here today missing them already.

Did a bit of cleaning and changed sheets on bed but apart from that and going shopping not a lot of exercise today. Ambulance and police car in the road when we went to do the shopping and when we came back we found out that our next door neighbour had passed away. It was quite a shock as we were only speaking to him yesterday across the garden fence. Not sure what he died of yet, its a bit scarry when you think he was only in his 40s.

Had a funny eating day to not been really hungry but have made myself eat not sure what is going on maybe I am having the opposite of a growth spurt which is why I am not hungry

Oh well we will see tomorow night is my first WI have been really good this week will be a bit disappointed if haven't lost something although will not beat myself up about it. Onwards and upwards as they say

What a day !!!!

Been a really dragging day today not really enjoying being back at work had some really grumpy clients today, but I suppose you cant please everyone all the time. Went up the gym to have a swim and pool was full as they were doing the Aqua areobics dont usually go on a thursday but didnt manage to get up there today. 

Came home quite refreshed after my swim only to have yet another row with my daughter. I do wish she wasnt so selfish I love her so much but just dont get anything back. I think she only wants me as a babysitter and a bank. She has been here for 3 months now and I was so looking forward to having her here with the kids but it has been a nightmare and she has made me feel like an outcast in my own home. It was my suggestion that she moved in as she had to get out of the house she was renting so told her to come home for a while and see if she can get a counciil house. 

This is what she did but she has treated me and dh like a bit of crap taking us both for granted after all we have done for her, as we did not have room for her partner he went and stayed with his mum and i told my daughter she could go and stay with him at night if she wanted to and I would look after the kids and was she grateful was she hell. Anyway rant over she has finally got her council house and is moving out on Saturday, probably wont get anythanks for what we have done and will probably only get visits when she wants money or a babysitter.

Struggle a bit tonight not sure whether was feeling hungry or wether it was because I was upset but managed to get through it. Its now nearly nine and going to have my supper but have stayed on the straight and narrow today and had a clean day so am now gonna go and do my diary tommorow is another day.

Why I am here

I decided it was time for me to lose some weight as I was getting very porky and my clothes were starting to get very tight. I was refusing to go to a bigger size in clothes. I was already a 16 so there was only one way to go and that was down.

Tonight I went to my first Slimming World meeting and met some lovely people. The consultant was Kat Lewis. There were a couple of others who joined the same night as me. The consultant spoke to us new ones seperatly and explained how Slimming world worked.

I had been to slimming world before and new a little about it but the concept had changed a bit and now instead of red & green days they now suggested easy extra menus.

The easy extra concept is really easy to follow it means you can mix carbs & protein but you do have to have at least one third of you plate filled with super free food. I will make a list of all of these as this blog unfolds.

After the talk we joined the others and Kat spoke to each of the members praising everyone she never put anyone down and spent a bit more time with them if she thought there might be a problem.  This went on for about 45mins and was very informative and was full of lots of different ideas from different members.

Normally we would weigh in on arrival but new members weigh in at the end and the verdict of my weigh in was 13st 5lb I was horrified and set my first target for 12st. I do plan on my ultimate target being 10st so wish me luck
