New Years Resolutions

My New Years Resolutions

There aren't many but at least if they are wrote down at another point in time I can see if I achieved them, which will be interesting in December.

Obviously number 1 is to loose the weight I put on before Christmas and over Christmas, and then another two stone. I am not ready to say how much i put on yet, but I am working very hard to get it off

2. Get fitter and try to run. I live in the countryside and would love to be able to do some running, down side to this is that i live on a great big hill

3. go to bed earlier. A silly one but after comming home from the gym and having a bath i then seem to spend too many hours in front of the tv catching up with the sky plus.

4. Get to work earlier, i have got in to a bad habbit of just getting to work on time, i used to be a real early bird, i have no problems getting up for show's, it seems harder for work.

5. get on top of my spare room, that is full of clutter, and clothes that no longer fit, that I have been going to list on Ebay

Well there they are.... not an exhaustive list, but it is still written evidance

Week 84 Weigh In

Finally good news to report and i am back on track and feeling more in control.
A loss of 2½lbs which to say they was a new years eve and news day in the week, it was really good. I was trying the new Slimming world Extra Easy Plan, which works.
The new plan allows you to have meat and pasta/potatoes in the same day all free. It was a bit wierd but got me through new year sucessfully. My aim is to have a loss at every weigh in during January, that should help me get back on track.

This week i should have nothing at all to throw me off track, and there will be no alcohol drunk at all for the next few weeks. At least !!!! I have the gym planned most of the week, and i am going to start to vary things a lot more. I went on the rower on Saturday before spinning and I realised i need to actually go in the gym more to get some variety. I have booked in for aerobics, studio strength, spinning and the gym this week. I am even going to do more walking at the weekend and possibly walk up town a bit at lunchtimes.

I am not going to write about my final target till I am 10lb awayfrom it cause as soon as I set it last time, I started to fail. All the way along when i never set a target i kept loosing, so i amd just going to keep plodding away at it for the time being, and just want to get back in to a pattern of actually loosing weight. I do have a couple of mini targets in mind, one of which is a challenge with an online buddy I have on a Slimming World Forum, which is a race to 13 stone, which will take me a while but I will get there. Also I want to have lost weight for the start of the cattle showing season in May which is when the food and drink becomes more of an issue.

Anyway the gym later and an original day for me today as I have lots of Lamb to eat up and tonight i have the rest of it, so it seemed easier to go back to basics today. Also the original and green days are going to shift the weight off quicker, and I could do with a New year boost to shift some of the Christmas weight that is going to take a while to get rid of !!!!!!
Anyway Motivation is sky high now, and I hope going to last for a good long while.

Last weeks WI week 82

It was bad news but I went and found exactly where I was, and went away thinking I would not have a gain next week.
I managed to control New Year and make it 24hours off track, from 6pm till 6pm. After that i got back on track and didn't leave it till today the 5th to get back on track.
Weigh in tonight should be good, and one of my new years resolutions is to blog more often
I promise !!!

Well its the end of the old year... nearly, and I am not going to mention weight too much in this little post only to say the last few weeks I have been completely off the rails, but I am weighing tonight, so at least I will know what damage I have done, and that this will be the last gain of 2008. I dont intend to have a gain in January. Starting with next weeks weigh in, I am trying to keep my diary as clear as poss for the next few weeks so I can get back on track big time. I know I can do it and I will.

Another thing I am going to do is try and blog more, so come on followers give me some encouragement and tips.

This was just a quick post to let you all know I am still alive just a bit off track !!

Birthday and Works Xmas Doo

It was ours works xmas doo at the weekend, which coincided with my birthday. My freind had told me she had found me the perfect man..... Well here he is on the picture !!!

No Hangover Sunday morning which was excellent, as I had quite a bit of stuff to do, and I even managed to do three classes at the gym last night, which by the looks of my arms in that dress i need to keep doing them till the next time the dress goes out on the 13th Dec !!

I was pleased I did go to the gym, cause with it being my birthday I was tempted to go out for a meal.

Here is a picture of me and me sis she has borrowed Tom Jones's wig !!

Its weigh in tonight, I am hoping I haven't done too much damage on Saturday night. I did do a lot of dancing, so hoping that may have balanced out a few of the Vodka and redbulls.

I have been quite good exercise wise all week, and food wise not too bad, did go out for a meal on Friday night, but did not have a pudding. So its fingers crossed for weigh in tonight.

Week 77 Weigh In

Finally a great weigh in at slimming world to report 5lb off this week, and I am back in control and back on track. I have meals planned for the next few days. It is my Birthday at the weekend, but I am sure that if i can be good up till then I should be able to get through it without a gain.

I have spinning booked today, and I have a good exercise plan for the rest of the week. I just have to stick to it and remain focused. I need to get back to the 8½ stone lost that I got to over a month ago. I have now lost 8stone 1lb again, but I feel very motivated and want to get this last 30lb off. I know that exercise is they key and i realise that i have slacked off recently, cause I did three classes on Sunday, and woke up feeling very stiff and aching and it made me think I had not been up as much as i should.

I am going to try and keep up with my blog, and report the bad as well as the 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.
