Bank Holiday Weekend

The final Bank holiday of the year & I managed to stay in control for once.
If anything I would have to say I perhaps didnt eat enough. Managed the gym on Friday night and worked really hard, then just had fruit & chicken for tea when I got in.
Depressed myself on Saturday and nipped up to Mcarthur Glenn (J28) to go to the addidas shop, got a great top from the Nike shop and some Fab new Reebok trainers, but the Addidas shop was a disaster, bought some cropped leggins for spinning and couldnt even get them over my hips and then got a Vest top that shows up every one of my rolls of flab !!! This has motivated me cause I now have to go back there again next weekend.
Then on monday someone took a few pictures of me at Moorgreen Show, with the cattle and posted them on Facebook and I look like I did when I was 22 stone !! Yet more motivation.
Add to that the motivation of beeing dumped by the bloke you thought was going to be your soul mate for the rest of your life and being on your own again at 38 and you should have shit loads of motiation .....
I have filled my food diary in religiously for the last week and I am going to keep that up as well, so its a big fingers crossed for a good loss tonight to restart me.

Weigh in w/c 23/08/10

A disappointing pound on but I am not going to let that defeat me as I know why it happened. Getting the hours back in at the gym, and looking to do the same again this week but end the week on a loss. I know it is Bank Holiday and could potentially be a situation where Alcohol may be required, but I am going to try my hardest to avoid it.
I have had a very traumatic few days but still made it to weigh in and the gym. I have to turn my life round, and I know I can do it.
If I have a good loss next week i will start to put it down again and update my ticker. Allthough I am not actually sure if any one at all reads this.

Weigh in This week & WHats been happening

This week weigh in was much better and my hard work did pay off and I got the loss of 3½ lbs that i deserved and I was finally Slimmer of the Week. Havent had that award since March 2010 and This week I earnt every bit of it. Been at Bakewell show all week so no gym and wont get till Sunday now, but i havent been too far off plan diet wise and yesterday didnt have too much to eat, just got to hold it together over the weekend, and stay focused and on track.

I am keeping up with my food diary which is helping and I have the desire to do this again, so things are all good.

Week 75 Weigh in

Finally got a hold on things and had a maintain this week which I am happy about as I would have normally put on with being away at the weekend. I was really good right up till the show, and not terrible whilst there so i am back in control.

I have the last stay away show for the year this weekend, so if I can be extra good till friday night, i should be able to limit the damage, and being realistic, a maintain next week would be excellent.
Then I can really start to kick butt again and get my arse into gear, I have put on half a stone, which I am disaapointed with but I am motivated to sort it out.
Double spinning booked today, so that should be good for calorie burning, and keeping me on track for the weeke ahead.
I need to keep blogging as this helps me to see what I am doing, and at night keeps me out the fridge.
I have planned all my meals today, and having the Beef Kofta meatballs from the slimming world Curry feast book tonight for my tea.
I need to start loosing again, cause I really do want to do this.

Week 68 Weigh in

Not so good this week, a gain of 2lb. A little disappointed, as I didn't feel that I had strayed too far off course, but i can think of a few reasons why. It was one of those weeks last week where circumstances ment I just couldn't get to the gym. I do think that getting to the gym is crucial to my weight loss, and I need to try and get there 3 times a week. Last week I went once and i think that really shows.
Also at the weekend I had two cattle shows and that ment I didn't eat enough on Saturday and Sunday, which I also feel i need to eat plenty of free food to get my losses up.
This week I also have two shows but I am going to take more free food to eat so I don't stray on to snacks !!
This now means I have 27lbs to target, and I maybe wont get there for xmas, but I am still motivated and even a stone for xmas would be fab, and i still have a new dress to buy. Which i am going to leave buying till the middle of November. So its a case of how much can I loose and how much can I shape up at the gym before then. My motivation is still good and I still want to loose as much as possible.
On another plus side my back is much better this week, and i think having a few days off from the gym has helped this.

The Weekend

Where did the week go to this week. I have been very good food wise the last couple of days staying in line syn wise. My new best friend "Slimming World Chips" has definately helped, I had them again last night after the gym. Got the nack of getting them cooked a bit quicker, as i boiled them last night and put them in the fridge over night. Tonight I will be on plan for tea as it is allready made, I am having the minced beef wraps that were in Augusts magazine. I dont do many recepies out of the magazine but this has made me have a go and be more adventrous.

Allthough my back is still hurting a little from falling of my sisters horse last week, Spinning doen't aggravate it so that is a good thing, I was going to studio strength last night but it was cancelled. I suppose that is a good thing as my physio isn't back off her hols for another week and I have got four cattle shows in the next 8 days so i have got to keep going.
A busy weekend comming up which will be good for the diet cause I have planned tonight and tomorrow nights teas, and as long as I can stay away from the ice creams tomorrow and Sunday, i should have a loss for Monday. Looking forward to Sundays show, cause it has the trotting racing. Its at Hartington and we always enjoy this show. Dietwise i am going to take lots of fruit with me both days, and try and avoid anything too synful, as I do want a loss on Monday to make it four weeks in a row. Again 2lb will keep me on target. But i will be happy with a pound this week as i have had three good weeks of losses
