Weigh in wc 20th September

Another 2 lb off, Just hope I can keep that up cause a steady 2lb per week is 8 stone in a year and that would be something to aim at !!!
Well I am having a rant on Facebook at the moment as they are just changing the time of out Slimming world group. The one I have been going to for the past 3½ years cause it was the perfect time for me !!! Well it seems really unfair that they can just change it because they think 7.30 is a better time well not for me. I love my group and all the people in it, its all going to change.

Hows it Going

Well another 2lb off this week and there was 1½ off last week, so its comming off and if I can keep it up it will be two more stone for xmas.
Gym tonight where I am going to really start to push myself to get burning all the extra calories. I am still very focused and my personal motivation is very high.
I just wished i could have a few good weeks to make me feel I am making real progress.
Got to also stay as the groups biggest looser as I have a few people hot on my heels now with some good losses. By March next year when they award it I want to be back to * stone lost then onwards and upwards to 10stone lost and then keep it off.
I am going to try really hard again this week and reduce my syns right down , and stick to the minimum I can manage with
A green day today with chips and beans for tea tonight.

Weigh in 31st Aug 2010

I lost 2½ this week which I was a little disappointed with but it was a loss and 2lb per week would be 8 stone in a year. I have to now keep the motivation and focus of last week up and keep focused. Stability Ball and spinning tonight and I want to really start to push myself and really get burning those calories.

Next week would really like a good loss and be slimmer of the week and get back to the days of old. I started this week by having eggy bread and fresh tomatoes for breakfast and brought a chicken salad for lunch. Now the question is what to have for tea. I am on an original day so steak Salad would be nice and tick all the boxes. Might see if I could persuade my mum to nip and get me a nice piece from the butchers.
Going to up my water intake as well so that it will flush out all the fat !!! and keep me hydrated of course.

A very good week so far

So far I have made the gym every night this week and ate brilliantly. I am so motivated this week, just wished i could have this much resolve every week.
Went out last night and had steak salad and asked for it with no chips no jacket potatoe no peas no mushrooms and no onion rings and no salad dressing. My friend sat and ate a pudding and I had a black coffee, it felt to be that much in control and the food was really nice. I did have a sachet of mayonaise which I looked up this morning and it was 4½ syns... OMG . Just got to keep this up over the weekend then weigh in on Tuesday should be a breeze.
My personal circumstances have changed slightly (ie been dumped yet again) so i can be more focused on me an my weight loss and exercise.
Having a man in my life has made me drop that focus and cook nice food for him, which i consequentially eat as well. All that now is over his choice and I am gutted but that is the way it is. Cattle show this weekend but I am going to stay focused and in control

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.

Massive Kick Up The Butt

Right Confession time
I am putting weight back on, It has to stop. I am back at class with a vengance and want to get myself back on track and back loosing weight.
I could write a list of excuses down here as to what has gone wrong but i am not going to as its life and also me being weak and using events as a reason !!
I found that when I blogged more I was much more focused and was planning more so here I go again.
Not going to say yet how much I have put on, but I will when it starts comming back off, cause I am going to do it, and I am going to eventually get to my target of loosing 10 stone. Now a massive way to go to achieve that, but I will do it !
The gym and classes are still going to form a major part of my master plan, as are my slimming world classes.

This week

Well I only managed to loose a pound last week which I was disappointed with. This week motivation has been high and I have been very good, even though I am still not eating enough. That is again what I am going to work on this week, as I know that is where I am going wrong. Mixed feelings about weigh in tonight as I think i could have a gain cause all though I have been really good I went out for a family meal last night, so not only did I not go to the gym I had all you can eat Chinese. That was my only failing for the week, so with any luck i should still have a good weigh in.
I need some good news this week as I have had a lot of personal stress this week and feel very very low, and i am surprised I havent gone off the rails food wise. Been dumped yet again, and not coping very well with it, so going to throw myself in to the gym to try and take my mind off things.
Fingers crossed for weigh in tonight

Whats been Happening

Didmt make weigh in this week as was off work on Monday and didnt feel like breaking the day up to haul myself back t Mansfield for Weigh in at Slimming World.
I have been on track and last weekend made it to the gym Saturday and Sunday, and I have been all week apart from Monday. Didnt spoil things with a fancy valentines meal as Lee was working so at least I could look on the bright side of it somehow, and on the Monday didnt go off plan either. I think my problem this week will be the fact that I havent been eating enough. I have had a few things to deal with and that has made me not want to eat as I have been feeling a little sick. But i have managed full attendance at the gym and so hoping for a 4 lb loss this week (2lb from last week and 2lb this week ) to keep me focused and motivated.
I dont feel as if I am shaping up yet from the gym activities, but am going to get the tape measure out in the next few days.
Well its omelette for lunch today with Salad and then roast dinner when I get back from the gym so I should be relatively syn free today and tommorrow and Sunday I am going to try exceptionally hard.
I want to be reporting a good loss on Monday night and stay focused for shifting all this excess weight, and toning up !

Week 140WI

Week 140 weigh in

A good 2½lb loss this week, which I am pleased with after last weeks blip of a pound gain which I didnt feel i deserved. I seem to be getting a steady loss but I suppose I am just impatient and wish it would come off as quick as it goes on. But in real terms i did have three off plan meals in that so just imagin if i ever had a stunningly good week fully on plan !!

Well So far today I have been on a green day and I have had fruit for breakfast and a Baked bean and Cheese jacket potatoe for Lunch. Tea tonight is planned with Pasta and a small piece of garlic bread, and melon and a muller lite yogurt. Going to the gym as well so i should have no reason or in fact time to stray off plan. Got the gym planned in all week till Sunday even then I am trying to fit some thing in.

My shoulder is a little better and definately now feels as if it is on the mend.
I am keeping a comprehensive food diary as well which does seem to be helping.

Its the weekend

Well its the weekend I have been to the gym as planed, and I am going to try and get tomorrow and Sunday. I am finally feeling a bit fitter and in spinning my legs seem to be going round much faster, so i think that my belly must be starting to shrink, so that when I am sat on the bike there is more room for my legs to go round.
I have got spinning and studio strength class again today, and going to be ontrack diet wise and stay under 15syns. Tomorrow will be a little harder but sunday should be ok as I have planned to do a full roast dinner.
In my mind I would really like to loose 3lbs at weigh in on Monday as that would be the two pound I want to loose every week and then the pound I put on last week that was undeserved. In theory to get back on track it should really be 5lb but that is very unrealistic as i have has two meals out this week, allthough I have been very very good the rest of the time.
Quite hungry now so the choice is two satsumas or some grapes.
Got some new gym kit of the internet today from a company called TLC sport, i have ordered off them before and there stuff fits well and washes really well. So as well as feeling fitter this week i will look better in some nice new gym kit.
I am feeling very motivated and really need to have a good weekend this weekend, and I really want that loss for Monday.

Im Back !!!!

Big kick up the arse time
Put on weight over christmas, got a lovely fella that likes me cooking nice things to eat, going out for nice meals.
Well back on track with Slimming World, lost 6½ lbs in January just need to continue that for each month of 2010 and I will be back to where I want to be.
Was ill the first two weekd of Jan so didnt make it back to the gym straight away but i was back last week, so apart from a niggling little shoulder injury there is nothing stopping me !!!
Lee (my fella) has been coming to the gym with me and will support me as he knows how much I want to do this, so I have no excuses at all.
Spinning & Studio Strength are the order of the day today, and also more regular blogging, I do like and enjoy the support from my online buddies.
Luckily I didnt put all my weight back on, but it has been enough to shock me back into control.
I have continued going to the slimming world classes so at least i knew exactly where I was weight wise and also cause I am a social team member, that is one of the reasons it was so easy to get back on track.
I have the gym booked 4 times this week and i will make it to all of them and maybe more, if i have time.
I will do this and at the moment motivation is high, just wished i didnt have to spend all day sat in front of the computer when i could be at the gym or out walking or something burning off calories !!! But for now I have to do this
Happy reading and keep commenting

Arse into gear now

Its 15 weigh ins till Christmas, and I need to shift 2 stone.
I feel motivated, but have a lot of bad habits creaping back in. Focus is what i need. I am going to get meals planned this week and try to shift the 1st two pounds for monday.
Blogging is back on the agenda, cause it keeps me away from the vending machine at lunch time !!!
Motivation is what i need. Things are more settled on the love life front now, so there are no excuses there now except for the fact that he some times brings cookies home and he loves Ben & Jerry's. They used to be two of my favourite men along with Jack !!!! I have to be strong and resist them as much as I can.
This is a much stronger me, with hopefully lots more will power !!!!

Week 112 WI

Well as promised I am back and writing things down again, and back on track with the diet and exercise.
Weigh in was no where near as bad as I thought. I put on 2lbs and and still at a total loss of 7stone 2lbs.
First mini target is to get back to 7stone 7lbs lost which I am going to try and do in the next couple of weeks, then onwards from there.
The gym is going well and I did a hard spinning class last night and will go again today, but it will be the gym as opposed to spinning.
Diet wise I am much better as I am eating healthier and staying relatively on par with syns allthough I am only on day two, but I do feel motivation is high.
I will do this and will get two stone off for xmas
21 weigh in's till xmas, scary i know but at two lb per week that could easily be 42lb which would put me at target, but alloing for a few slip ups along the way i can do 28 without too much stress. I really want to motivate myself to do this now.

Back Again.... Had a few weeks away at shows and off track with the gym and diet. But did go to the gym last night and do Aerobics Studio and Spinning. And its off to slimming world tonight for the weigh in. I am going to be back on track, no matter what stresses my personal life seems to be giving at the moment, i am not that far off track weight wise cause i still think i have lost well over 7 stone, but I will post after weigh in this week, and my classes are booked this week, with a trip to the gym every day from tuesday till sunday.
My new training at the gym was going well and I am still in shape, but need to do better !!!
I hope that my few readers bear with me, and still find some interest in my ramblings !!

A Stressfull few weeks

A very stressfull few weeks for me and for the first time ever i have lost my appetitie. That was was the only upside of the whole stressful experience. I am not sure if all the stress is over, but i do have a feeling it may not.
But the good side is I am now back to 8stone lost, just need to stick at that.
Got a new training partner at the gym and after spinning tonight i am having my first gym session with the training partner. I know I will have to push myself to keep up but i think that will be a good thing, cause i need motivation to loose this last two stone.
I am still at slimming world every week and I am going to post more often, so if any one does actually read this I am back, and going to be thinner and fitter.

week 93 WI

A slight gain this week which was a little disappointing, but I have to get over my disappointment and move on and just hope that I can loose it next week.
My motivation is still really good, but I do have the odd treat too many.

Back on plan today, and its a green day, and lots of exercise. I have a busy schedule the next fwe days so I am going to prepare food in advance and try to not let it be the focus, more of something I have to do. If I am bust I do not tend to think of food as much. So in theory it should be a good few days !!!

Fingers crossed

Week 91 WI

Week 91......



Another 2lb off Yippee. I knew i deserved a loss last week, but I did feel it may have been a little more. Allthough I had lost 6lbs the week previous and 2½ the week before that.

I am now feeling like I have got back into the swing of it and would like to keep going this way for the next few weeks. I really must not let anything throw me off course food wise and I want to remain focused.



Circumstances have made it that I am not gyming tonight, but I am going to cook much healthier for tea and have a nice Green day tea of slimming world chips and mushy peas. I have some Rice pudding as well that I can also have and still keep my syns right down.

I have got back to loosing exactly 7½ stone (again) and now need to get back to that 8 stone mark. If i could do that before the end of March that would be fab, if not i will get there.



I also got slimmer of the week at group last night, and the nice thing was that was 2nd week running. It has been a very long while since that has been the case.



Motivation is still good and I am not wanting to eat the large ammounts of rubbish that I had been eating. Finally i am on the move.

So on plan today, meals planned for tommorrow, got to start to think about Thursday.

Did My Plans Come Off ??

Both diet and exercise this weekend have been top class. I so deserve a loss tonight and I hope I get one.
I did Spinning & Gym on Friday and had a go on the powerplate which was quite good.
Saturday did a long walk with the dog and then got my butt to the gym, and did the xtrainer & rower and some free weights, then a spinning class.

Tea was lovely I did slimming world chips and mushy peas with a small piece of cod, and the syn free rice pudding. How nice was that !

Sunday I became gym bunny extodinaire. I got up and took the dos out, and then went to do spinning and aerobics. Got home and took the dog for a proper long walk and then did another gym and power plate session and aerobics class, as I couldn't get to the studio strength class that I normally go to on a sunday.

Diet wise I have only gone over 15 syns once this week and that was on Monday which was treat night. So I am really hoping for a loss tonight. I haven't been this motivated for a long time, just need to hold on to it.
Fingers crossed and watch this space

Finally

Finally I am back in the zone, well I have been all week and looking good for the weekend.

Last mondays weigh in was a good loss, but I still have over a stone to loose to get back to my pre xmas weight. On the real plus side I was slimmer of the week and would like to be it again this week, but that will be a case of wait and see. Realistically I have to loose 2lb to get back to having lost 7½ stone, so that is my mini target for this weekend.

I am not doing as many of the Extra Easy days as I was before, and going back to original and green days, and this seems to work so much better for me.
Gym wise I am getting fitter and my knee is not giving me as much pain as it used to even though i am still carrying and extra stone of mince pies !!!!
I have a really busy weekend so that could work one of two ways for the food plan, but with how I'm feeling at the moment it will be good. I will get back to a more regular posting, just in case any one actually reads this drivel and has the slightest interest in my progress.
Exercise planned over the next few days is spinning, aerobics, studio strength and a couple of hours in the gym on the x-trainer and rower and doing a few free weights.
We have one of those new Power Plates in the gym, but never used it before, may give that a go as well.... I will look it up on the wonderful internet, but in the meantime, any ideas what you do on it or links to pages about it ?

Here's to an on plan weekend food and exercise wise.
