YAY!

I am happy happy happy!! I lost 2lb this week taking my total loss to 3 stone and half a pound, can i get a whoop whoop?? and today I have found out that I have passed both my uni exams (employment law and employee learning & development) that I took in January, so all in all a really great week! Am off to Paris on Sunday with uni for a week so need to get everything ready for that its going to be a tough week both ww wise and uni wise! But it’ll be an experience..Hopefully going to see if we can buy a new car on Saturday too for Greg as we have been car sharing since last June and with my new job coming up we can hopefully afford a new one…things are looking up – YAY!!

Ooooops!

Have had a brilliant past few days..I am so chuffed with myself for getting a new job i’ve kind of slipped off the wagon a bit and have gorged on very naughty naughtiness all week! (Indian, Pizza Hut & Chiquito’s) but its all in the name of celebration! but I promise to get back on track tomorrow to see of the last 1lb and a half to my 3 stone loss! Met a friend tonight for tea, we had a good catch up and went to the cinema to see Bride Wars! Good girly film and it made me think back to when me and Greg planned our wedding…I am so glad I wasn’t a bridezilla. Happy memories! Have also registered for the

Race For Life today with my sister, it’ll be the third one we’ve done and am really looking forward to it! It’s over Cannock Chase this year on 26 July so as soon as i’ve got my race number i’ll be bugging everyone for donations!! Well I have 15 days left at work until I leave (i’m not counting the 5 days I’m in France with uni on study leave) and I cannot wait! I’m really excited to start my new job and to be honest its the first time in ages i’ve been like this…excited about work, whats all that about? Still smiling like that cheshire cat below, can you tell?..

Fabtastic news….

I am so chuffed to tell everyone that I’ve got a new job!!!! WOOHOO!! Went for an interview on Wednesday morning for the role of HR Administration Manager at an Academy (posh High School!) in the West Midlands. The interview went well although my jacket that I wore for my interview was 3 sizes too big and it was absolutely hanging off me (it must have looked like I’d raided someone else’s wardrobe) but it didn’t matter ‘cos 2 hours later they rang me back and offered me the job! It’s a brilliant move for me as its a brilliant payrise and I get more annual leave, healthcare and a fantastic job title! Have learnt quite a lot where I currently work and feel that it’s just the right time to leave and for me to have a new challenge! Am very pleased with myself right now so am off to write my resignation letter.. WHOOP WHOOP!!

21st weigh in..

Tonight was my 21st weigh in and I lost 1.5lb! Only have 1.5lb to lose now and I will have lost 3 stone in total, but to be honest am a little disheartened, I know Rome wasn’t built in a day but I feel like at this rate its gonna take forever! Need to stop being so harsh on myself..but when you’ve been so good all week and being to the gym 3 times you’d love to see a bit more gone! Anyway, enough of my moaning, i’ve drawn a line under my successful loss and here’s to the last remaining 1.5lb to go this week! Work it baby work it!! The picture above shows a massive fish which weighs a total of 40lb…thats what I’ve lost so far… that whole fish!! mad isnt it? Got a big day ahead tomorrow so am off for a shower and an early night ta-ra x

I love Sundays…

It’s Sunday, 1:10pm and i’m still in my pjs…GREAT! Greg’s just popped out to do our weekly shop on a very limited budget and so this week we’re attempting to use up the stuff in our freezer and cupboards with the blend of fresh fruit and veg! Had my hair done yesterday (trimmed and had my colours done..hence why we are now broke for the rest of the month!) and we went to an extended family birthday party last night over in Tamworth which was quite nice and had 11.5 points to use on the buffet! Didn’t over indulge so hopeful

ly won’t have gone over the points I had allowed myself. We’re planning on going to the gym in a bit and then need to come home and get some housey stuff done! Got a busy week planned including meeting my group at uni to discuss our residential trip to Paris in 2 weeks, 2 ww meetings and a couple of vip appointments…more to follow on those!! Am hoping for my 3lb loss and haven’t had a sneaky peek on the scales as yet although I am sooo tempted…Thing is, if I get on and I haven’t lost, i’ll be so disappointed but if I have lost I’ll be really excited..my ww scales at home are always about 3lb out though so its hard sometimes to know how much I actually weigh! Thats probably a good thing…
