Saint v Naughty

Well since my last blog it has all been up and down. The weigh in after I blogged I had lost 1lb as I had been saintly. However, my naughty side came out for a few weeks and I gained. I did do weigh in, but didn't really pay attention to what weight I was. Although I wasn't happy about it, so last monday (oct 19th) I decided I was too unhappy and a little spotty from eating crap and decided to once again be saintly.

Anyway, after the stern talk I gave myself about the way I felt I stuck to the diet and went to the gym twice that week. Mondays' weigh in showed a 3lb loss. YAY. So I now weigh 10st 2lb.

I have also decided that I need to get just under 10st as I not happy being over my 10st goal and I am finding it hard to maintain to be honest. So If I get to say...9st 10lb??? That gives me 4 lb to go up and down during the months and I then won't feel bad about it. Anyway, thats my new mission and I want to be there by Christmas.

There are a few things happening from now till then which will try and stop my good behavior, but I will try my darn hardest. First one being Leigh's Halloween party on Saturday as she is having pizza delivered!!!

Fingers crossed for me for my next weigh in.

The Maintain Game

Weigh in night last night ... and it was another non-eventful week of staying the same. That's no mean feat actually when I consider the heavy weekend that I had. Hen Nights and Takeaways are not a weight watchers match made in heaven after all. However, I am quite happy with that result. I have had a bridesmaid outfit trying on session and the dress fits perfectly (apart from the need for a little padding around the boob area which can certainly be sorted out with a decent bra lol). If I lose any more it'll be too big and I'll be hoiking it up all day which is not an attractive look. So the aim for the next couple of weeks is to stay the same before the wedding and to not put on too much during the October half term week. Then it will be the big push for Christmas. Realistically there will be just four weigh ins between half term and the start of the festive celebrations ... The first week back after half term is November 2nd (that will be a gain for sure) then we have November 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th (and at a push December 7th) before we are well into the party season and all ideas about a loss go out of the window and I can only hope to maintain at best. My plan for the month of November is to drop 6lbs. That takes me to 10st 3lbs and my BMI of 22. If I can achieve that before the year is out I'll be a happy girl. Then January will see the final push to my goal weight of 10st exactly. That's the plan. I think it's a goodie.

BOO *did I scare you*

Remember me?

It sure has been a while. But i'm back. I got to goal a few months ago and then have been gaining and loosing ever since. I have been on holiday, celebrated bithdays, been to weddings, hen nights, festivals etc. I did gain 5lb during this, but then have been loosing. On Monday I was 10st 3 and a half lb.

This week I have been "SAINT JAYNE" * puts one arm in the air and one on the hip like a super hero pose* I have stayed within my allocated points each day and worked hard in the gym on Tuesday. I am hoping to go again today. I now need to make sure I behave all weekend as I am hoping for at least a 1lb loss on Monday.

Good luck to us diet girls for our next weigh in.

Dear Blog

Dear Blog,
I'm sorry for having abandoned you for so long. I know it's no excuse but I have been really busy with work the last month or so. It's taken up a lot of my attention and you have been neglected. I've also had a busy social calendar ... weddings, birthdays (including my own and Jayne's 30th's), hen weekends and much, much more. I'm afraid life just got in the way of our relationship!

If it's any consolation there has been very little weight loss news to report. I have battling with the same 2lb for about 8 weeks now. Hovering between 10st 9lbs and 10 st 11lbs ... losing it, then putting it back on and losing it again. I'm at the stage where I have lost it at the moment and am 10st 9lbs (a whole stone lighter than I was in January) and am hoping that I can nudge myself down to 10st 7lb before I do my bridesmaid duties in a few weeks time.

Remember Blog ... it's not you, it's me. I promise to be more attentive and not take you for granted from now on.

Love and kisses,
