Sunday 18th March (Mothers Day)

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 17:45:38 +0100

Well Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there.

Im sorry i haven't been on for quite a while,My internet connection has been a bit funny of late so i have left it really.

Anyway, had my 2nd weigh in on Thursday 15th March andguess what..

I lost another 3lbs

I was so pleased,considering i wasn't expecting it, not because i had been bad but because i didn't think i had done as well as last week, so then i also got slimmer of the week !! yeehhaaa.

Havn't done too good this weekend but thats out of the way now so i will have to eat super speed foods next week to make sure i pull it back, but my target for next week is to lose 1lb because i will get my half stone awar.but i will still be working twice as hard as the previous weeks.

I think i am going to find it hard if i don't lose anything or i stay the same, that might push me back a little bit but i suppose i will have to deal with that when it happens.

Sponsor ship isn't going too well but im not all that fussed because i would rather save my sponsors for my race for life wich i hope to take part in in a couple of months.

Anyway im off now,Thanks for reading.come back soon

I lost 3lbs woooohoooooooo

Well i am very surprised at myself!

I am doing really well and havn't fallen off the wagon yet.
Yesterday was a hard day but i didn't go over board,ok so i let myself have a few treats but not too much and i am back on track today (just got to think what to make for dinner)

Everyone at work have been really supportive (thanks everyone:-)...)

So 3 lbs lost,i was so pleased with myself,i think that going to the gym has really helped also,i went 3 times last week and i do a bot more each time i go.Not sure what days i am going to go next week.

I'm trying to get myself to not hope i lose 3lbs again next week because if i say to myself i am going to and i only lose two..although two is very good, i will still be disapoointed that i only lost 2 and not 3..does that make sense?

Ive got no sponsors yet which is very disappointing,maybe i will just do it for myself,i sent an email round work and no-one has responded yet or made a donation...maybe they will, who knows?

Anyway,im off got a few things todo.

Speak soon
Luv Me! ----3 lbs lighter

Just been up to the road and enrolled in my gym (eeek) it was a bit of a quick thinking thing however i have been wanting to go to the gym for a while,i just always thought it was full of skinny or muscular people...well it was haha!

So i have my induction this evening at 8.30 and i am so unfit that i dont think that i will be able to even get through an induction,

My favourite machine to work on is the cross trainer,with my membership i also get all the clases and a swimming pool so its all good.

Hve done really well over the last couple of days yesterday i had all the right food and never gave into tempation for anything.

Yesterday i made a recipe out of the slimming world book but i dont think i added enough season (my dad did tell me too hehe)

It was: Large cup mushrooms filled with spinach and garlic with a tomato and melted cheese on top. It was very nice but i couldnt eat too.

Right i had better get motivated for this gym and start by tidying up lol.

Ill let you know how the induction goes...if im still alive.

Why are weekends always the worst...it's soooo hard!

My 2 failures this week are:

* Yesterday my friend treated me to dinner and we went to pizza hut
* Today,after being sooo hungry and not having much energy to make anything and it being so late i had a duck and mushrooms from chinese takeaway.

However on a good note that hasn't put me off track and thats out the way now,Tomorrow i have planned my meals and they are out of the slimming world book so we will see.

Still doing everything else right and have not touch a bit of chocloate which i thought i would find really hard but not as yet.

still drinking diet pop which is all free on Slimming world.

I will write back tomorrow with more stuff,am feeling a bit tired now and also trying to watch dancing on ice hehe

Speak soon :-)

Yesterday went really well and i was so chuffed with myself.
When i got home i had an ASDA good for you tikka masala sauce with chicken and rice,i knwo its about 15 syns but i really fancied it.

My weigh in is tomorrow,so i won't actually know if i have lost anything on not because i havn't been weighned,but i am going to go by the fact that alst time i got weighed 4 weeks ago i was 16st 9 lbs (eeek)so if i am less than that then that will be my weight loss that i will count for this week.

**********
Today went well again, i enjoyed my salad so much yesterday that i went back and got another one but had more meat in it this time.so i had chicken pieces and ham..yummm yummm

**********
22.58 - Just got back from Bingo where my usual cuisine would consist of chips and 2 portions of cheese.
As soon as i walked in there and smelt the chips i thught i would find it hard to resist,i went to the canteen and to the fridge....the sandwiches didn't look too nice most of them had seasoned mayo in and i don't like that so i opted for a Tuna and Cucumber sandwich on brown bread...so YYYEESSSS i did it!!

I RESISTED THE TEMPTATION TO EAT CHIPS AND CHEESE

my dad sent me a very encouragin email last nice and have now printed it out and stuck in on the fridge,i have been thinking about it all day especially when it gets a bit tough....thanks dad :-) xxxxx

We have a sandwich company called 'Montys' that come round every morning, i usually grab myself a sarnie or a sausage batch,today i brough a can if sugar free red bull (which is free on SW)and a banana and an apple,they filled me up until lunch time.
For my lunch i went to Morrisons and had a salad and got some ham from the deli and made myself a lovely ham salad with a few boiled eggs,that was very nice.

Introduction

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:51:02 +0100

Hi there

Welcome to my Blog.

This is a big first for me as it is the first time i have ever created a blog and also this is my first ever blog post.

Thie blog is going to be all about my weight loss journey i am going to be totally honest and upfront about everything,so if you do happen to ask me any questions...you will gt honest and upfront answers.

When i met my partner Dave 6 years ago,i was very happy with the way i am..a size 14 (not sure what my weight was :-s)
but within 6 years my weight has crept up,its that typical story of comfortable relationship,comfortable eating.

Heres the honest bit: im now a size 22 and very unhappy about the way i am.
Although Dave tells me how much he loves me and how lovely i am,it's still not enough to make me feel as though i am happy about myself.

I have tried slimming world a few times but have never been 'in the zone' until now....

what did it?? : My weekend away on london, I walked down that famour Oxford street glaring into the shops looking at those fantastic clothes thnking to myslef, "they look nice, i wonder if they do my size" then the little voice in my head said to me: "come on Donna, this is London...they are not going to do your size" sure enough LV was right.

So nows the time!

What better way to start#

What better way to start this journey than to participate in the 2007 slimathon for NSPCC and Macmillan Cancer Support,fantastic!

Not only am i doing it for me but i am doing it for a brilliant cause.
