Perhaps I was a little over ambitous

Perhaps my picture from yesterday of where I want to be by Xmas was a little far fetched !
Plastic surgery would be needed for that, but i hope you get the general idea. The picture of me in the black trousers was a stone ago and I want to loose another 2 stone 5lbs from now.

I have been almost saintly today, but with it being friday the Lottery Chocolates have been round at work today, but i did have something, a pack of fun size chocolate buttons, and I have counted them into my syns. I had to resist hard this morning the urge to pop on the scales but I haven't gone on. The gym was good last night i worked really hard in Spinning and then did Hula Hooping, which doesn't sound that much like hard work, but i work up a right sweat with three, yes three Hula hoops. I am finally making a bit of progress in the Hula Hooping department.

Tonight I have Spinning & Studio Strength booked, and I am going to try to work reall hard, cause I want and need a loss on Monday. I am going to try and up my weights a little at Studio Strength tonight, to help build a few muscles to try and fill a bit of the spare skin I have.

Tea tonight is going to be Lamb chops. with leeks and a low fat cheese sauce. I am also going to avoid anything sweet as a pudding tonight, and try and have fruit, cause I want to try and be under my syns today.

Got to find time today or tomorrow to make something for the Party on Monday night, I am either going to make an original syn free quiche or some eat smart sausages in a hot spicy sauce.
I have spinning booked tomorrow, and I am going to try and make it to the gym for at least an hour as well. I want to get on the rower and keep pushing my 2000m times.

Well I am going to try really hard all over the weekend, and there are no more pringles in the house, so that is good there are a few bits of chocolate but nothing too exciting, so I think I could be ok this weekend. Fingers crossed for weigh in on Monday night.

Being Good & Trying Very Hard

No syns so far today, and prepared a virtually syn free tea to have when I get back from the gym tonight.

I really want to be back on track for Monday for the Woman of the Year Awards and also to get a new dress for this chrismas. When they read out how much weight I have lost I really want it to be 8 stone and not 7 stone something !!! I know that a couple of lb doesn't make much difference in the scheme of things but it is a big thing for me.

I dont expect to look like the picture but I have to visulise something and i need to keep looking at where I have gone from and to, and focus on where I want to go to.

Come From Now Want to be

Week 64 Weigh In

I am annoyed at myself this week cause I put on 4lb, i wasn't saint like but I did do 6 classes at the gym and was very active at Moorgreen Show lifting buckets of water for 8 cattle and feeding them and muck them out. I thought that that may have balanced out the Jack Daniels and cream cakes that I ate !!! Bad plan, it failed miserabally. I know what i have to do to rectify this and I have to loose at lease 2lb this week as i want to have lost 8 stone when they give me my award for Woman of the year.
I also really want to have lost another 2 stone by Christmas, so I have got to stop getting off track and kick myself up the butt. Have booked in for spinning tonight and tomorrow night and Hula Hooping tommorrow so that should get things moving again. I am planning before Monday to have had at least 8 hours at the gym and done stuff at home, like going for a walk and riding.
My mate beck had her weigh in as well last night and she has lost two lb, really pleased for her as she has worked really hard and deserved a good loss this week. Since our mini christmas challenge started i am on zero and she has lost 3, but I know I can turn things around.
I have to, cause its what i want to do

Disappointment

My freind had a first Slimming World weigh in last night and had lost a pound, which she was verry disappointed with, and I cam empathize with her totally as I only lost a pound on my first week and a pound and a half on the second week, so i can really feel for her. What I can stress is, that Slimming World does work as long as you stick at it, but then any diet will work as long as you stick at it.

We are both motivated towards our Christmas targets and know that there is hard work to come.

I cant even begin to imagin what i would look like with another 31lb off. I think now it wont change me too much, but just give me a better shape.

Exercise plans had to go out the window last night, as I had a poorly eye again, and had to come home from work and rest it. That led to big temptation in the food department, but i did manage to stick to my syn's even though I made myself a really horrible tea !!

Had the majority of my syn's so far today as it was Roast dinner today at work, so will be having free food for tea tonight after the gym.
Planning on havin Laughing Cow Lights and Ryvita, with pickled onions and tomatoes. Followed by strawberries and a mullerlight yogurt.
Hope they are still 4 for £1 next week cause i have become quite addicted.

Week 63 Weigh in

Hard work and being on track dows pay off, but then i knew that allready, but need to keep in this mindset to achieve my Christmas goal.

At weigh in last night I lost 4lbs, so that gets rid of the 2lb I have put on over the last couple of weeks and another 2 besides. I have manages to take two pound off my christmas countdown and it now says 31lb to go.

My personal mini target this week is 2lb, which over a Bank holiday weekend will be hard, but I want to get back in to regular losses, and I know I can do it, this week has proved that.
I also want the 2lb next week cause i have been nominated for woman of the year, and when they read my name out I want to be able to say I have lost 8½ stone and 2lb next week and the week after will nearly get me there. It is 16 weigh ins till a Chrismas Ball that i go to every year and I really want to go in a stunning black dress, and be able to say I have got to my target.
I dont think 2lb per week is too hard to achieve, especially as I am going to put the exercisie in and work hard at it cause i still really want this and I have slacked off sor long enough now !!!

It is my friends weigh in tonight, and she has been just as good as me, if not better, so I have my fingers crossed for her. She has the same time frame as me so we can motivate each other along the way.

I have booked in for Studio Strength (weights with Music like Body Pump) and Spinning tonight, and should be able to make the gym every night this week including saturday, and I have booked in for all of them.

Food wise today I have allready had a good breakfast and I am hoping to have a syn free lunch and either pork or Lamp Chops for tea tonight. The pork or lamb chops are are really quick option for me now I have got into using my George Forman.

Motivation is really high this week, and i just need to feel like this till weigh in next Tuesday, and really go for it this week. There are no meals out to stand in my way, just a local show at the weekend, but I am going to try so hard to not go off plan.

WI week 62

After a few days at Bakewell Show, numerous Jack Daniels and Fish & Chips, I managed to put on a pound and a half. Very dissapointed with myself, but at least I know why it has happened. It is weigh in tonight, and I have been very good this week so I am hoping to repair the damage done, and get back on track for my Christmas goal of another 2 stone. I have done 4 exercise classes over the weekend, and even made a Quorn Lasange.

My best mate has been a great source of motivation today as she rejoined Slimming World last Tuesday, so we have been texting a lot, and that is really helping me, she also wants to loose 2 stone for xmas, so it will give me a new dieting buddy, this time last year I had one and it was a great motivator.

I will post tonights weigh in as soon as possible.

Just A Quickie WI Week 61

Just a quick update this morning, as I am finishing work a lunchtime.
Slimming World Weigh In last night I maintained. A little disappointed as I would have liked a loss but i do feel that it is my body catching up with the fact that I have lost 8 stone and I do think that you plateau off every now and then. But I am still determined to loose my final 33lb between now & xmas , so watch this space

The Weekend

Friday lunchtime threw me off track a little with having all my syns at lunchtime. Wasn't intentional, but I was working on the theory that it would be better burning that off after work at studio strength (Weights ) and spinning. I did a good spinning session and then work really hard in studio, didn't put my weights up but i think i may next week.

Saturday food wise was very good managed to stay within my 15 syns but ate random food, but that is the beauty of slimming world. And i think that is why it suits me and I have managed to stick to it for over a year. Was ment to go spinning but my sister rang and said would i go riding with her. It was nice weather so i went but I had to cancel spinning.

Sunday Studio strength and spinning sunday night, was supposed to go to the gym as well with claire but at 3.30pm she cried off with a hangover, at which point that should have made me more determined than ever to go, but instead gave me and extra hour with my sister which gave me the oppurtnity to eat three fresh cream and jam scones !!! If I had gone to the gym that wouldn't have happened. It just goes to prove that i still have crap willpower, even though I have shifted 8 stone !!

But on the whole the weekend was ok, so would like a loss at weigh in tonight, but my body just doesn't feel like it. I think I need to up the free food intake a little more, allthough it is going to be a hard week this week as off to Bakewell show for three days with the Cattle tomorrow, then another cattle show on Saturday. (I do tend to stuggle a bit when we go to the shows, with the nice food in my way, the bad choices i make and of course the alcohol )

Anyway i will be syn free all day today till weigh in and if I have a loss i will have some syns tonight. If I dont have a loss i will be good tonight, as the rest of the week is going to be hard.
The going is getting tough now, and this last 33lb is going to be very hard .
But i did 8 classes last week so I hoping that, it has paid off. But the slow down has started.
Will post my weigh results tomorrow after class tonight.
