step in the right direction

*does a little dance with happiness*

I have lost 4lb!!!! So adding that to the 6lb I lost when I was ill that is 10lb in total! I am so happy! My jeans fit better. My chin is now only an extra quarter! I actually can't wait to take my measurements in another 2 weeks! (i decided monthly measurments for my 'plan')

Today is great!

Hello all!
Not been here for a few days! Things have been going ok. I will weigh in tomorrow and see how I have done. It doesn't feel like I have been doing this for two weeks! I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing!

I am going to Italian restaurant for my birthday in 2 weeks. I am hoping to have lost my double chin by then! I will also take my measurements that weekend to see if they have changed at all.

I'm off to my folks shortly. Good old Adlington! I am hoping the weather stays fine as I'm helping dad to level the ground for the patio- plus it will be exercise lifting and shoveling!

Right.. off to sing in the shower!!

Love to all

I went to aqua aerobics last night and worked my arse off!! I really tried hard. I shall see if it has helped me at the end of the week. I always do feel better when I have been.

I forgot to pick up some more milk yesterday so there's only enough for Em's breakfast this morning grrrrrrrr. So I have just had a kiwi and a banana. I dont know if it will sustain me until lunch though! I may need a yoghurt or something mid morning.

What's with the weather?! Rain, snow, a tiny bit of sun, strong winds... I like having a toot round town when Emily is at nursery.. but I just cant face the wet and cold! I am freezing just walking round the corner to nursery! I was hoping I could walking into town for milk. I could go to the corner shop, but I figured walking further was a good idea. Unless it brightens up it will have to be the lazy option!

Well I managed to sort the living room and dining room yesterday. I couldnt face the kitchen. I am sure elves come out at night and leave more washing up! Has to be done today though... just need a kick up the bum to get on wiht it!!

Thats all for now!

Much love

todays muttereing

Why do colds linger for so long!? I am still blocked up in the morning and coughing. Mind you- the cough is my own fault.. most who read this blog know I am a smoker... I do plan to tackle this... AGAIN! But i can not do weight AND the fags. So that is a way down the line yet. Plus I am not ready to quit! (please dont nag about that people!)

I actually had a nice lie in today as Emily didnt get up until 9am! I have just had my breakfast of weetabix and sliced banana.

It seems to be catching this diet thing! Once of the mums from nursery said she is starting one!
Although I did not loose last week, I looked in the mirror this morning and my dreaded double chin is disapearing! It is still there yet, but is more of an extra half-a-chin than a full one!

I'm going to work hard at aqua this eve- actually put effort in instead of floating about! I do enjoy it just some weeks I can't be bothered.. this needs to change! I can burn calories and tone up whilst having fun with my friend (we are on the back row and torment the instructor teehee)

Things in the house seem to have grown legs and plonked themselves down everywhere! I must tidy up once I have typed this- this i do not enjoy! I think I will set myself the downstairs rooms to tidy.. upstairs can be tomorrows task! How sad is it that i need to break it down like this!!!

Right... off to find a duster


Love to all

Well I have stayed the same weight. On the one had I am disapointed as I have been trying. But on the other hand I have not put back the 6lb I lost from when I was ill. I was worried I would gain it when I gained my appetite again after the cold.

Back to aqua this tuesday so hoping things will start moving again.

I have had a bit of chocolate. Emily has shared a bit with me from her eggs. I have not gone mad and stuffed my face so I am proud of myslef for that.

Hoping to walk round yarrow vally later on as theyhave an egg hunt round the lakes for littleies!

Life feels ok today :-)

So here I am!

Hope you stick with me!

Easter

Yesterday was ok. I had wholemeal pasta with various veg. I got peckish later on and had some dates. All in all a good day.

Today I have my usual breakfast of weetabix with raisins. Lunch was my grans homemade potatoes cakes. She comes up on a friday. She again was going on about weight but I just busied myself with other things. I wasn;t going to let it affect me today.

We are having tuna salad with new potaoes for tea. I am looking forward to it actually.

I usually go to aqua aerobics on a Tuesday eve but we have missed for two weeks for one reason or another. Hopefully we will be back to it this week!

I will weigh in on Sunday- although without my aerobic this week I don;'t know if I will have lost. I am hping controlling my food intake will have some effect.

I dont do enough exercise. 1 hour aqua aerobics is not enough.. better than nothin at all.. but still not enough. Trouble is i HATE exercise!! More than that- i loathe it! I tried the gym but find it soooo boring on the bikes and treadmil. Plus i had to walk 20 mins to get there. By that time the last thing i wanted to do was hop on a treadmill! I did enjoy the weights though.

If it wasn;t for my friend calling for me on a tuesday, i doubt I would even make aqua! I need someone to literally take my hand with exercise. I need to find something else to do in the week- any takers?!??

I am not looking forward to Easter Sunday. Already eggs are appearing here for Emily despite telling various relatives to send money or a t-shirt instead. It is such a temptation. Not only do I not want to stuff my face, I also dont want Emily to gorge on chocolate either. Trouble is- the temptation will be there until it is all gone! She has several eggs here already and has others at her dads house I am told.

I dont want her to do without at Easter.. just one would be enough! Does that make me mean??

SO the problem is- do I allow myself some chocolate or do I ignore it and crave it? If I allow myself will I loose control and gorge on it?! If I crave it will I just give in anyway?

I doubt my self control.

I am aware that I am just rambling on my internal thoughts here so I will stop writing for now!!!

Much love
