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.

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

Week 67 Weigh in

After staying on track all week Saturday was Pennistone show, managed to be good there by only succumbing to an ice cream. I ate my cob with no butter on it and not much else. Got home and just had fruit and a mullerlite yogurt. I didn't deliberately not have much food, it was just the way it worked out.
Sunday I went to a family christening which food wise was terrible. I ate fruit on the way there and was like a saint when I got home, so the damage limitation worked. I tried to make wise choices, but nearly everything was syns rather than free food.
But all that said all the good work in the week must have paid off as I lost 3½lbs. My total loss now is 8 stone 8lbs..... I am so chuffed. That keeps me on track for our Christmas target. I so want to do it, I have even said no to KFC before the pictures tonight, which for me is a big thing.

25lbs to target Woo Hoo

I have to try and be really good this week as where I fell off the horse last week I have a niggling back, and my lady that sorts it for me is on holiday, so not sure when she will be able to mend me. Hoping it will be this week cause i need to get back in to full exercise mode to keep this last 25lb comming off.
I am spinning tommorrow and Thursday, so that will hepl, and spinning doesn't seem to annoy it... thank god.
Never heard anything about Slimming World Woman of the year, which even a no would have been nice when it took 3 hours to fill in the entry form. I really took time putting loads of info in it. Oh well lesson learned.

Motivation is very high this week and i am still on track and the desire to to it is as strong as ever
