Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year 2009!

I hope that everyone had a fantastic evening and saw in the new year in style!

Me... well I was at home and watched telly while drinking WKD - Watched the new year celebrations in bed and promptly fell asleep! Style?? I think not! lol

I was planning on having a friend over and we were going to have a few bevvies with my flatmate but she cancelled last minute as her son's unwell and I told my flatmate to go see her fiance - Sad i know but its not the end of the world! :)

Weighed myself this morning and according to my scales I have put on 4lbs over the xmas period! I am weighing in on Monday so I will soon see of this is the absolute truth or not!

(I am slightly scared)

New Years Resolutions....

1. To loose weight and stick to the plan

2. To blog more, I keep forgetting and that is not a good enough excuse!

3. To make more time for myself

4. To set realistic goals
5. To not take things to personally (that may take some doing!)

2009 Goals!
1. By Spring (My Birthday April 8th) to Loose 1 stone!
2. By the Summer (The 1st July) to Loose another 1 stone!
3. By Autumn (The 1st October) another 1 stone!
4. By Winter (The 1st Jan 2010) 1 stone!

That's a total of 4 stone for 2009! And I am going to work real hard to make this happen!
I am going to fashion some sort of monitor on this blog!

Good luck everyone this year on your weight loss and goals! Its a brand new year and the slates are wiped clean!

Its been a while

Hi there people...

Well what can i say its been a sticky uncomfortable few weeks!
Apologies for not being online and updating my progress but its been hectic to say the least!
I haven't put on any weight (which is a complete blessing) but i haven't lost any either!

Work has been hostile - my boss has taken a disliking to me and I feel totally victimised, but also feel there is nothing i can do about it. Job hunting?? Well i have been - only millions of other people are also doing the same thing due to the credit crunch! Marvellous!

The only blessing I have is I am off work now until the new year so I can take a breather and not let things get to me!

Health wise - I think every bug possible has hit me this year, tonsillitis, cold and then an ear infection, i have felt rough... but I'm on the mend now and by xmas i am hoping to be back to normal!

Only lost 12lbs of my 14lb goal :( but after the couple of weeks I'm please with this result and i will soon be setting a new one for the New Year!

I wish everyone a fantastic Christmas! Enjoy the festive season!!

Another Pound Hits The Dust!

Well hello everyone!!

That lump of disgusting stuff there is 1LB of fat, which i lost today at weigh in!

I am so pleased as i have been feeling so rough and was certain that i was heading for a gain this week... How wrong was i!!

On a day off from work today - weighed in this morning with my Dad! That's right my dad has now joined weightwatchers and within 4 weeks has lost 9lbs, I am proud!

He has been told this week to eat slightly more points so that he can even out his weight loss (i don't think anyone is likely to say that to me!) lol

I have an odd week ahead of me, some stays away and running courses in several places where the food choice isnt the best, i am going to use this day off to Plan PLan PLAN!!

Hope everyone else has had a great week and i will see you all later

Apologies...

Hi there guys and gals....

I haven't posted in ages and I feel really guilty!
If it wasn't work that was keeping me away, it was the fact that I have tonsillitis and have been feeling sooooooo rough..... not nice I can tell you!

Have been prescribed penicillin which does seem to be working, although I can tell I have some way to go yet! :(

As for my weight watchers journey - I was getting worried as i haven't been able to weight in this week... due to not being able to focus from pain and not being able to get out of bed - however i haven't been naughty food wise either. I purely haven't had the energy to even worry about food! (That was a first and a sure sign I was ill!)

I have been weighing in on my scales at home and there doesn't seem to be a drastic change... which is good news.
I will defiantly be able to go on Monday - so I will soon see!

Update on the Tarot card reading...
There have been some developments... On the three men situation etc but I cant really divulge at the moment!!
You will have to wait a bit longer.... :)

Take care and I everyone is well and not taken down with the bug that is going round!

Not the best week I've had

Hello again...

Happy Halloween!!

Well this must be the worst week i have had slimming so far!!!

Because it has been so damn cold this week, i have been more reluctant than normal to go to the gym - which is not an excise and i know this.... but it doesn't stop me from feeling it! lol

I started the week all well and good... had my tarot read on Wednesday which was really interesting - the ex was never going to be right for me and there may have been some deceit on his side (which i found very interesting) I have three new men around the corner (One blond with blue eyes, another dark and another one dark with olive skin - uuummmm!!) a baby has been seen in the future (I don't know if i should be worried about that or not) and moving house and possibly moving abroad with one of these men, it was such a good reading! I felt great afterwards!! Lets hope it happens...

Shame this feeling has not been reflected in the food i have been eating this week... and i know my downfall! I HAVEN'T PLANNED!!

If i had planned my meals this would never of happened! I would have known the points, not got tempted by that BP Wild Bean Cafe on the way home from Brum the other night and not eaten the work's meals at the training centre!! WILL I EVER LEARN?

There is only one good thing (If you can call it good) I am not able to weigh in at weight watchers this week as i am away with work and wont get back til late.

I am going to take this as one lesson well and truly learned and next week will have some better results!!
