Well..............................what a week!

Wi this week - I actually lost a lb, a whole lb, despite having several sneaky peaks (i know they can be dangerous, but i find on a whole they actually help me) that said or looked like i might be staying the same. So to see a pound down i was chuffed to say the least.

Apart from that my week hasn't been so good. On Monday i had a really tickly cough, Tuesday my voice went crackly, Wednesday and Thursday i had no voice at all, Friday still no voice but runny nose, Saturday, runny nose and chesty cough but more of a voice and now Sunday chesty cough no runny nose but at least i have a voice now and people can understand me. I've increased my inhalers because the last thing i want is to go on steroids for them to increase my appetite - although i haven't got much of one at the moment to start with but i think because of this the loosing is becoming a bit of a struggle - i want to feel fit again because i'm really getting into going out on my bike - but can't really do much exercise (even light stuff on the Wii fit) whilst my chest is tight - so frustrating. Hopefully i'll feel better next week, so here's to Wednesday the next WI and see how i've done.

Last week and the week to come

Ok so i didn't post my WI last week, i was a little dissappointed with the result - I stayed the same - despite being good etc etc. Still its nearly the end of the next week and i have my fingers crossed for a loss.

Especially after the bike ride i did at the weekend, i bit the bullet and went on the road, i only did 1.5 miles there, had a barbecue (stayed in points though), stayed the night and rode 1.5 miles back home i felt so invigorated afterwards, definately something i'm going to do again - not sure when though.

Well lets keep my fingers crossed for WI in the morning.

The new me - at least the hair anyway

Well, finally here's a new picture of me and my hair, and also some more comparison pictures, after 2st down and 5 months of hard work, it will all come off though, i'm so determined.

Well this week has been pretty much the same as any other week, been busy at work etc etc, had planned to take my daughter to the beach this afternoon to fish in the rock pools, just waiting for the sun to come out a bit - think i'll be waiting a while, going to see what we can catch and not bring home.

Ok so here's those pictures

2 STONE AND COUNTING

Well another 1lb down and overall 2st today, i'm chuffed i've finally got there, so the hard work carries on and hopefully the next stone will be gone before i know it.

My hairs is short again and is now a deep red colour, fancied a colour change - so heres to the new me.

Holiday to the lakes and another 0.5lbs

Last weekend, me my mum and gorgeous daugher had a lovely long weekend in the lakes, or lake windermere to be more precise. We had some lovely food and did quite a bit of walking. I was fully expecting to come back and see a gain, but i actually managed to lose 0.5lbs, unbelievable, need to be good this week to make sure it doesn't catch up with me.

We visited the world of beatrix potter, what a fantastic place, models of the characters, check out my facebook page for the photos they're lovely. We went to south lakes wildlife park, where we hand fed a giraffe and penguin, i had a lemur jump on my shoulder (they're left to run free round the park) and went into the enclosure with the vulture, got up close to the emu's, well it was a fantastic day.

We also had a ride on a boat on the lake and went to the aquariam which was fab, saw some unusual fish and not so unusual fish and spent ages watching the ducks dive under water from the underwater tubes.

here's to next week

10% and 25lbs all in one day

I'm so pleased today, i've achieved my 10% loss and 25lb star all in the same week with a 3lb loss this week. Thats now a total of 27lbs, I now only need 1lb till my 2st loss.

I'm feeling really motivated and upbeat about it all. We're off to the lakes at the weekend so hope I don't ruin it all, although we are planning on doing a bit of walking so hopefully that will keep things at bay.

Here's to next week

well this week.............and a confession

I lost 1lb, its a loss, I wish it had been a bit more but can't have everything at least its still a loss.

Well today at work, sabotage, thats the only word I can think for it. Everyone in the office is aware i'm trying to lose weight and they are all great, except every friday someone brings a cake or something, now the last few weeks i've resisted the temptation or when it was caramel slice, i too the smallest piece just to taste it but wouldn't have a whole slice, infact it was less than 1/3 slice. So today, I got back to the office after my home visits to find the clerical support had been to the shop and bought everyone a cadbury caramel, I have to say its the first bit of chocolate I've had in a long time and it tasted delicious, 6 whole squares of lovely chocolate and gooey caramel, 1 point per square - so not as high as I was expecting and the points have all been added for the day. Can't be doing that everyweek though or my results will definately take a nose dive.
