Disappointed….

Only lost half a pound this week and I know before you say it, a loss is still a loss, but half a pound is rubbish! Therefore I am going to give it my all this week and do the following..
  • Not step on my scales at home until next Tuesday!
  • Drink loads more water / squash instead of pepsi max
  • Exercise more (including taking Mikey for walkies and putting more effort in at the gym!)
  • Only eat ww chocolate bars and not naughty Cadburys ones!
  • Get back to weighing everything instead of guessing

On the plus side, I stayed at the meeting tonight which was very different to the one I was used too and the people werent as friendly but the leader is much nicer, and I won the raffle taking home a set of shiny measuring spoons! This week I really would love to lose 3lbs taking my total loss to 3 stone so here is my pledge to try everything possible to try and do that!! Have a good week x

Lazy weekend…

Have had a really lazy weekend which is just what the doctor ordered following my week of exams, the stupid cold and to top it all off, rather unexpectedly ‘the’ time of the month! Have done the housework, made a few birthday cards, watched a couple of films and have generally chilled. Did make a yummy stew last night from a recipe I got off the ww boards, it was a beef stew with a bottle of guinness in it! It actually turned out really nice and was quite impressed..Greg has also been very busy in the kitchen today using recipes from the ww cookbooks. For tea tonight we’ve eaten turkey kebabs with peppers, sweet potato and onion all grilled on a skewer with some salad. For pudding Greg made rich chocolate mousse cake which looked and smelt amazing! It serves 12 and each portion is a whopping 4 points but luckily its not really my cuppa tea else i’d be starving myself tomorrow! Haven’t yet been back to the gym , no real excuses apart from I haven’t felt well enough to go but will definately go after work tomorrow night no excuses!

Freedom!

Exams are over…woohoo!! not sure how I got through them but I did and they are done! Not sure when the results are out so lets just hope I pass…Had some brilliant news yesterday too, I passed an essay I handed in just before Christmas which gave me so much grief, I really didn’t think I would pass it but I only got a flippin’ A grade! WOW!! Go me! I am over the moon! Went along to another WW meeting with my sister tonight and she had managed somehow to only put on half a pound since last weigh in! She’s such a jammy thing ‘cos she’s being eating like a pig for the last 3 weeks! So Well Done Toesknees, keep up the good work! Am absolutely shattered and am going back to work tomorrow as I am feeling loads better just have a really annoying chesty cough so am off to get some beauty sleep…Night x

Not well…

So I’ve caught the dreaded lurghi and have been up since 3am with a bunged up but runny nose, a whopper of a headache, blocked sinuses, sore throat and chesty cough. Fantastic! just what I dont wan’t for my exam tomorrow! Have had the day off work as was a bit of a state (so tired!) and have been to the new ww meeting but only to get weighed. The leader is called Laura and she seems really nice, promised I’d stay for the meeting next week as didn’t want to pass my cold/flu around! Am quite pleased as I lost 2.5lbs so managed to lose the extra pound I put on over Christmas and more! Woohoo! Am off to dose myself up and get into bed..wish me luck for tomorrows exam! Will need all the help I can get…Found this (above) on the ol’ tinternet and have decided I’m just feeling sorry for myself as only have a cold! But i’m still off to bed..night x

We got snow!!!

Hoorah! It’s been snowing and I love it, it looks so pretty all crisp and white! Woke up at 6am and looked out of the window to see we’d had about an inch to two inches in parts! We took Mikey for a quick walk and I managed to slip over 3 times onto my knees, was laughing so much I got soaked! It hurt too! Dropped Greg off to work as unfortunately for him the school he works at was open and continued to plough through the snow to work. This is the view from our office window looking over the fields
When I got into work we had no phones or network connections so couldn’t log onto my pc to do any work. BUMMER! ha ha. Phones & pc got re-connected at 3:30pm just in time for my 4pm finish – Fab first day back at work methinks! WW wise – had 2 pieces of toast before work, 2 pts worth of grapes, 2 satsumas, ww carrot & lentil soup for lunch with an apple and a banana for afters! Very healthy! also ate 2 chocolate covered wafers that my colleague bought back from Greece was very yummy but not so healthy! Had planned on going to the gym after work but couldnt actually breath through my nose as I’ve got really bunged up during today. Have a nasty feeling I’m getting the dreaded lurgy! Will sudafed myself up..Greg made tea – we had spring vegetable lasagne from one of the ww books and it was gorgeous! Luckily for me Greg’s really got the cooking bug lately and will try his hand at pretty much any recipe I put in front of him! I am a very lucky lady to have such a supportive husband. Thank you babes xx
