A week of losses!

Well, after the 3lb holiday gain I weighed myself twice since my last blog post.

On the first weigh in last thursday (I think?) I had gone back down to 11st 2lbs ... phewee. Thankfully the holiday weight seemed to drop off once I started eating normally.

Then monday night at the official weigh in I had lost anther 1 and 1/2 lbs ... that makes me 11st and 1/2 lb. I think that is the lightest I have weighed since the beginning of the blog. It's certainly my lowest weight since I got the wii fit which I could tell from my graph. Whoopee!

So, despite feeling like a blimp today the scales seem to believe I am getting lighter, so who am I to argue? I now have a mini goal to lose ever so slightly more than than half a lb this week to take me under 11st for the first time since errrr I can't remember when.

Fingers crossed!!!

It's been a while

Well. It's been a while since I have wrtten on this blog. Since getting to goal I have put on 4lb. Thats due to easter and eating lots of chocolate, having a week off work and then just not getting back in to the swing of it.

So I know weigh 10 stone 4lb. I didn't do well last week at all. But hoping there won't be a gain tonight...I was good during the working day. But as soon as I got home I pigged out on rubbish rather than having a proper meal to fill me up. We also went to York on Saturday and although I took a picnic with me so I could have been good. I had an icecream after the picnic and sausage and chips for tea. Not forgetting the scone and jam I had in a lovely cafe outside york minster.

Yesterday we went to visit Chris, Pete, Lou and Lee and they put on a lovely spread of cobs, pizza, pringles etc. Very scrummy.

So as you can see. I am well off the dieting wagon and need a push back on. This week I AM going to diet. I AM. Today I have bran flakes for breakfast, but I don't have any lunch. But I wil be good and get a salad or a ww wrap. I have a cadburys light moose for pudding and a banana for snack. I will have chicken, salad and a jacket spud for tea.

NO BISCUITS OR CHOCOLATE ALLOWED THIS WEEK. Not even a curly wurly. These are all hidden at home so not to tempt me.

I still want to loose those 4lb by 18th May (yikes??) Fingers crossed.

Well done to Vix on her 2lb loss. Here is to a good week for us all girls. I can feel it...

Update : Mini Goal and Holidays and the Birthday Blog

I suspect it is obvious from my lack of triumphant posting that I didn't quite meet mini goal :( I weighed in on thursday evening before the Easter weekend and was a dissapointing 11st 1lb. Darn.


So, I was a great big fail whale on the mini goal front but still proceeded to have a jolly nice holiday in lincolnshire for the long weekend and stuff my face like a good un. I put on 3lbs so I'm back up to 11st 4lbs ... exactly where I was at the start of the mini goal. It was almost a complete waste of time. Anyway, back on track (again) best behaviour (again) aerobics at least once a week (promise) and cut back on the wine (for real). How boring is it to hear all this from me for the millionth time?


Something else happened over the bank holiday too ... The slimming adventure blog is officially one year old. Happy Birthday Blog! You have done us proud, unlike myself who has only managed to lose a measly 5 lbs in 12 months. The only cake we shall be eating to celebrate is this virtual one.



... hopefully the feeling that just looking at the cakey goodness will pile on the pounds is just in my imagination.

Smug Little Wii Fit

The smug little wii fit announced yesterday that my "weight has increased a little". Blargh. "A little" on the wii fit means about half a lb. Dammit. I was supposed to get to mini goal last night! Humph. Nevermind, I am not calling it a fail just yet. I wanted to be 11 stone or under before the long easter weekend and that is still a few days away. With utterly saintly behaviour and if I can go at it like a mad thing at aerobics on wednesday I might just make it. I will weigh in again on thursday night ... keep those fingers crossed.

The Wanderer returns...hanging her head in shame!!

Well girls, after finishing work i never get the chance to sit and update on here, but just bother the pair of you by text with my tales of dieting woe...thought i'd update on here for once.

I'm just the most rubbishiest of dieters going, i seriously have a problem of not being able to stop myself from stuffing my big fat gob!! I know i shouldn' be doing it, i know it's wrong and i know if i don't stop it, im likely to burst!!

I am sick to death of telling myself, i will behave each morning, but by lunchtime you can guarantee i've buggered it up by stuffing something into my gob.

I am trying to walk the dog more, you would think not working i would have time on my hands, but seem to be busier than ever!!!

I am just living in the land of excuses for scoffing....i must behave myself.....I MUST!!!!!

I'm off now, before i depress myself even more. I have considered going back to classes and seeing if that'll make me behave...but can't really justify the £5.00 odd getting weighed and not staying for class....also, getting a bit bored with the whole ww thing....

Weigh In Wonder

Well, all I can say is that Go Ape must be brrrrrrilliant exercise because somehow ... despite the cake, curry buffet, gallons of wine, fish and chips and whatever else passed my lips last week I managed to lose 1lb when I weighed in last night. Amazing! That takes me to 11st 1lb ... and only 1lb away from my mini goal for next week. Whoop!

I've been fairly well behaved since the start of this week and not gone over my points at all (Monday - 20 + 1hr aerobics, Tuesday - 19.5, Wednesday - 17) I'm planning well and bringing my own lunches to work and seem to be getting into the rhythm of it. I've got a night out planned for this evening but I will be driving so no empty points needed for booze (in fact I feel like going tee-total after last weekend anyway) but I have no idea what I'll be eating. It will be easier to keep control of what I'm stuffing in my gob if I'm not drinking anyway.

Come oooooon mini goal!!!
