not as good as i should be

Well, the weekend sort of merged into one and from friday night being bad i havent really stopped picking and doing, during the footie yesterday i managed to eat a load of jelly sweets that i shouldnt have, why cant all my children like them instead of leaving them :-( lol

Oh well, back on track today and if i have gained tonight then i really wont be surprised at all because i have been so lucky the last few weeks with holiday and a loss and then going out for a super meal and a loss so maybe it will just catch up with me . Shows tho that i might just have to start to run a bit faster then eh.

I have bidded this morning on a Belly dancing DVD so that i dont loose out on my fabulous exercise routine during the summer hols, i can pop it in when the mini and midi beasts have gone to bed and get wiggling my tush lol. I love it and it makes you feel so toned too, and its about the only form of exercise where it is good to have tits and a belly pmsl even tho the belly is going big time so maybe its really working......

interesting thought of the week (well as its monday the first)

When setting out on the journey to loose weight I had to get into the right place mentally. But where as most folk want to loose weight because they are 'fat' and so starting their journey in a negative state I didnt mind being over weight so much as the being unfit, but to enable me to do any form of exercise i needed to loose weight. I was also very very happy in my family and relationship. So when my friend suggested having a look at Slimming world i was in the right place to think seriously about what i was eating.

Since starting my new healthy eating plan I have been out more than i have in recent months lol, normally this would sabotage my good work, but even so i have maintained a steady weight loss, even going all inclusive on holiday and coming back to the UK and loosing 1lb.

I am feeling really possitive about the weight loss this time around and being able to keep it off too which is very important to me. and to top it all off, I have the full support from my husband and my daughter. I get the encouragement and compliments from them yes my 9yr old daughter keeps telling me how good i am looking now my tummy is getting smaller .

couldnt do it without them

shopping lists

Why is it so difficult to write a shopping list??????

i think i have written everything on it, but then i get to the shop and realise that i havent listed everything..... Still costs me a fortune but twice a week instead of once a week grrrrrr

need to get my ass in gear me thinks, again then i can have all the loverly food that i want to eat ,

The weather doesnt help much either, you plan loverly summer meals then the weather turns arctic and you dont want salad, or you plan roast dinners and its blooming roasting outside and you really dont want to be stuck in cooking a full dinner

interesting week

well, after a week of sitting on a sun lounger, drinking cocktails and gin, and eating three fantastic meals a day.... i went to my first weigh in for two weeks and guess what. i lost 1lb.

I think the little bit of weigh that i gained, was water retention lol.

My sw leader wanted to know how i did it, and well it was just making the right choices at meal times intstead of stuffing my face with all the fattening options. I really enjoyed my food whilst i was away, and i didnt miss out on anything that i fancied, if there was something that looked bad but interesting, i had a little bit....... you know what they say a little bit of what you fancy does you good lol

Well, we will see how good i can be this week, i am going out on friday and apparently the menu selection is veggie, so looks like friday is going to be a green day but i need to stay away from the cheese if i want to achieve my goal.

So far following SW I have lost 1 stone 6 1/2 lbs with the classes i have managed 6 1/2 lbs ( i lost one stone prior to joining) so i just have another 1 stone 5 1/2lbs to get to my first goal, and from there we will see what i want to do

so easy to slip back into bad habits

Well, it would be if i wasnt so determined this time to loose the weight, enjoy loosing the weight and also the important bit, keeping it off.

I was dancing for joy last night at weigh in, i lost 2lb's now this might not seem like much but when you have been out for a mexican meal, and made good choices (obviously) but drunk far to much marguirita lol and then to loose, its gotta be good eh.

But as i am about to embark on a weeks all inclusive holiday, the devil that has beat me before was there saying, well your going to put weight on so sod the diet for two weeks, But if i do that, i knwo that i could put back on all that i have lost and even a little bit more.

So i thumped the little devil on the head and told him to sod off, i had a good day food wise, grilled gamon, for breakfast, baked pot for lunch with tinned salmon, and then salmon new pots and peas, n sweetcorn for dinner...... and when i got pickish at aldi, instead of diving into the multi pack of crisps i opened the banana pack and stuffed one of them down my gullet lol

So, devil 0 Me 4 yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
