End of an era..

Just a quick post to let you know I’ve passed my uni management report meaning uni is over and done FOREVER!! I am over the moon..I now have Graduate status of the CIPD which is fantastic All the sleepless nights and worrying has paid off and I am so so happy and if I didn’t have the flu I would be celebrating!

I have been off work today as feel like I have been hit by a bus, kept going all dizzy, hot and cold and i’m so bunged up its ridiculous!I’m off to bed to celebrate with a honey and lemon…. So, whats next on the Shilton horizon? Getting fit, losing lots of weight and babies……

Day 5…

…said in tone of voiceover man from BB!

All is good, I’m religiously sticking to my points and haven’t been tempted to stray. Unfortunately haven’t been able to get to weigh in as it’s too far away in the snow so just hoping that when I re-weigh myself on my bathroom ww scales it shows a loss!

Am thinking of possibly resetting the weight loss tracker above to zero to record 2010 weight loss but am probably desperately hanging onto it to show I have actually lost some weight along this journey, i’ll make my mind up at some point.

This weekend, hubby is having a lads night poker evening at our house so Me and Mikey (dog) are going to stay away for the night so they can have the house to themselves! Am hoping for a nice clean, alcohol whiff free house when I get back but you know what blokes are like with their beer! Aren’t I a good wifey?

My uni results are due back within the next few days and i’m getting a tad nervous….please let me pass!

Snow joke!

Ok, so my last post said I loved the snow, now I think its slightly annoying! I wish it would either snow enough for me to stay at home or not snow at all and melt away! I hate driving in this slushy, brown slippy stuff. It’s horrible!

Due to the weather being completely crap i’ve eaten so much rubbish lately I’ve really let myself down BUT on Sunday morning me and hubby had a lengthy discussion about ‘the future’ and we have decided that in order for me to really get firmly back on the wagon my goal is to lose weight so we can start trying for a baby – I really hate that phrase – anyway, my cousin has recently announced that she’s pregnant, due in May and I know by then I’m going to be mega broody so if I’m firmly stuck on the wagon I could be in her position this time next year! If anyone else has useful advice on being pregnant as a larger lady I would love to hear from you…

Haven’t attended a weigh in since last November due to Christmas, New Year and snow but am going to do an hour on the wii each night and get weighed on there for a bit until the weather improves, hopefully then when I can get back to the gym and attend meetings it won’t be so scary!

It’s Day 2 back on the wagon and so far so good. I’ve weighed all my food out, planned my meals out and tracked everything so all is good! Weighed myself Sunday morning so will weigh myself again next Sunday and see how i’m doing…wish me luck x

Snow day!

I love the snow! It started snowing heavily yesterday and overnight we’ve had at least another inch. Good news is both our schools are closed today (although I have to do some work from home!) we’ve both got our pjs on, sitting in front of the fire watching the news. We’re going to venture out later today for a walk over the park with the dog so will take more piccies but here’s a snapshot of what it is like here…

Take care if you’re out and about in the snow and ice today! Wrap up warm and stay safe x

Welcome 2010…

Well where did the last ten years go? What a decade! I’ve done a lot of studying and a lot of growing up…Here’s a quick look at what the last ten years looked like;

2000 – Was in my 2nd year at college studying for my A-levels

2001 – Finished my A-levels and began work as an Office Junior

2002 – Went to University of Central Lancashire, Preston to start my degree in Leisure & Tourism and Management

2003 – Met Greg

2004 – Greg bought the house we live in now

2005 – Greg and I got engaged, I graduated from UCLAN with 2:1 and began my first job in HR as a HR Assistant

2006 – Went to college to start my Certificate in Personnel Practice, got a promotion as HR Administrator

2007 – Got married and began studying part-time at University of Wolverhampton for my Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management

2008 – My nephew was born

2009 – Graduated from uni with my Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Managament and hopefully will soon have Graduate status with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and be completely professionally qualified (management report is written and will be handed in on Monday! eeeekkk!!!!!

So, I wonder what the next 10 years will have in store.. I’m hoping it is going to be the decade that I’ll lose weight, get healthy and start a family. I’m back on the wagon as of today (have weighed myself on my bathroom scales and its not pretty!!!) but will go to weigh in on Wednesday and face the music..wish me luck

Happy New Year everyone x
