Bright New Day

Well I just disappeared for 10 days!

I was really really struggling to motivate myself, and I have been really busy too so have had problems iht time, as well as the amount of yucky I have been eating.

BUT

I am ready to start it again today. I had weigh in this morning, and I had lost 1 pound. Not much seeing as it had been 10 days since my last official weight, but I'm not complaining as I had eaten so mcuh over those 10 days. I also took more pictures and measurments and there is a diffrence that I cna see now so that has helped my motivation.

I have also started Slim Fast today. I really need some structure to this more than calorie counting, and I had two jars in my cupboard so I thought, why not! It also means making meal choices is a lot easier to do! So let's hope that starts to make a difference too!

Hard Work

Yuck

Stayed the same.

Feel rotten again

Weigh in day is changing to a Thursday - Let's see if that makes a difference!

Totally F*cked

Feeling Rubbish.
Eating Rubbish.

Tomorrow is going to be hideous :(

What Would You Do?

Well I'm feeling rotten. So much so, I'm not even going to tell you what I've eaten! Nothing like I could have eaten 4 Saturdays ago, but still WAY too much!

I don't know whats wrong... But I have just been feeling pretty meh all evening, I'm knackered and stressed which ahsn't helped either. It's rubbish though. I only get to see my OH at the weekends (if I'm lucky, it will be for more than 5 hours on Saturday night), and I have been pretty rubbish company the last couple of weeks.

He understand's I have alot on atm, trying to start a business is not the easiest thing in the world, but I can't expect him to be as patient as a saint really can I?

Argh! Sleep time! Why does this always happen to me at the weekends!

We're All In This Together

Had a not bad day, lacking on exercise but I have been very busy! And felt good support from family today which was nice!

Brekkie: Weetabix
Lunch: Toast and Cheese
Snack: Skips

We then went out for dinner this evening, and I had a little Garlic bread to start, followed my a Steal Pie, though I didn't eat all the Pastry so I'm quite happy with that.

I then had hot chocolate with 2 marshmallows for supper. Feeling a little bit sore headed though so I'm gonna head to bed shortly!!

Don't Stop Me Now

Motivation is well and truly back!

Breakfast: Weetabix
Lunch: Yoghurt and Go Ahead Crispy Slice
Dinner: Jacket Potato, Beans, Cheese, and Corned Beef
Snack: Go ahead chocolate crunch

And I will have hot chocolate with 2 wee marshmallows soon before bedtime.

Also spent an hour freestepping on the Wii! It felt so good! Bring on Monday!

God That's Good

I had a magnum tonight.

And it was amazing.

And well worth it.

But I satill have only had like 1000 calories today =s

Didn't have much of a lunch as I knew I'd be having an early dinner. Then I was hungry when I got in from work!

I don't know if this is good or bad though??

Breakfast: Weetabix
Lunch: Vanilla Yoghurt
Dinner: Cheese Pannini
Snack: Quavers
Supper: Hot Chocolate, 2 Marshmallows, and a magnum.

I'll eat more balanced tomorrow! No time for Wii today though as I was working. Though I had my pedometer on for purely my time at work and I almost walked 2 miles. Impressive, for a singing teacher!

So Much Better

Much happier today. I knew I felt like snacking, and I have, a little - BUT I purposely had a smaller dinner to compensate this.

Brekkie: Weetabix
Lunch: Crusty Bread with a little cheese
Snack: Go ahead crispy slice
Dinner: Beans on toast
Snack: 2 Clementines, a happy Hippo, and Hot Chocolate

Also rememeber to carry my phone with pedometer for some of the day, and it registers at 1.6 miles. Not enough walking, but a start. Plus a half hour free stepping on the Wii!

As I say, I feel happier. Less stressed too which helps! Let's hopw I keep it up :)

Cimbing Uphill

Back at it today!

Done really well today and feeling good becuase of it (stressed, but thats another story!)

I had Weetabix for breakfast and lunch, and then macaroni cheese for dinner. Had a go ahead crispy slice thing for a snack, and 2 clementines, and will have hot chocolate soon. Feeling really good. I've got a lot on at the moment and unfortunately my Wii Fit time is suffering because of it :( Will still keep trying though!

Thank Goodness

Weigh in 2: Lost 2lbs!

I was so expecting to put all of my hard work so far to waste and had put it all back on again! But nope, 2lbs gone. Really wasn't expecting it at all. Also took a few measurements, and, as expected there is no big change, it has only been 2 weeks afterall! But I did notice a 2inch loss off my hips! So I'm pretty chuffed!

Going to try so much harder from now on though! I feel so yucky after being naughty, so I'm going to keep on track from now on!

Learn Your Lessons Well

Today has been better. Weetabix for brekkie, a cheese pannini for lunch (my biggest downfall for the day)and a small piece of extra lean steak, loadsa peas and Weight Watchers Chips for my dinner. I then had a hot chocolate with 2 marshmallows for my supper. I had a quick play on the wii, but really not as long as I would have liked. I also did a bit of a workout when watching TV but not enough.

I think this weekend has been hard for me, and it'll be a wonder if I have lost weight at all tomorrow. It's really made me see how easy it is to let go of it though, and I know now I really want to push through and make my goal, even though it still seems so far off! No food is worth feeling the way I feel right now (though I don't say that in the same way Kate Moss did!)

One Night Only

Me bad :(

Today started sooo well. I was working and didn't have time for lunch, so I took a Go Ahead Forest Fruit bar thing again, after having Weetabix for breakfast. Was doing really well and feeling oh so positive.

The boy picked me up from work and we went to shopping centre to pick some stuff up from boots. Then it took 30 mins to get out the car park. So by this point it was quarter to 6 and no dinner. Then he suggests "The Chippy". Nooooooooo! Well I gave in to a small oven pizza, and a small handful of chips. I know, that given how little else I have eaten during the say, it won;t kill it completely, BUT I feel so disappointed in myself that I let myself eat it!

AND I feel so yucky. I feel unhealthy again. But I think that it's a motivator to keep me going! And as the title says, it was One Night Only. My last take out for a long long time. And I really am going to stick to that. It's all down the scales from here :)

Weigh In on Monday - lot's of Wii Fit tomorrow! :)

Under Pressure

Well I'm not gonna deny it. I have struggled today. For the first time since I started this, I properly struggled. But I put that down to a change of routine (Waking up early) and the fact it's time of the month will not be helping.

But I have made it through the day. Had a chicago town pizza for dinner, which I couldn't finish, and then 2 clementines and hot chocolate for supper.

I've walked a bit more since last post, and I did 45 mins on the Wii Fit, 30 mins of that was free stepping while watching Children In Need, so think I have burned a fair bit there.

Monday is where the results will show though, so to make up for today, I'm gonna be extra good this weekend! Don't get me wrong, I don't ever plan to starve myself. I'm a very firm believer of you only live once, and shouldn't punish yourself. That doesn't mean though I have to over-indulge.

Crossing my fingers for a better tomorrow!

I Can Do Better Than That

Today has been a weird day.

I've been up and about, Business Gateway this morning, and down to the bank this afternoon. 7000 steps so far, and it's only 2 O'Clock.

But food today. Ew. But I know why, I supposse. Usual wake up time - 11am. Today's wake up time. 9am.

Had my breakfast as soon as I woke up - Weetabix and milk, with a little extra sugar.

Went out came home and I was STARVING! The hungriest I have been since going on this diet. So I was really bad and had a packet of mini cheddars and a go ahead forest fruit thing. The first real time I have felt really guilty about eating, but I didn't plan on having anything major for lunch. Then I went to Greggs. I didn't give into any cakes, but I did have a cheese and ham baguette. Now when I got home to eat it, I only ate half of it, and mos of it was without the ham or cheese at all. But I'm still hungry!

It's not fair. I'm trying so hard and one day to trip me up and I feel rotten. This is where I wonder if a plan is maybe something I'd be more suited to? But being such a fussy eater makes plans hard. Oh I don't know. At least I have burned a few calories walking and I plan to play on the Wii today for a good while. But i have the worst cramp ever which isn't helping.

Sigh!

To Wii, or not to Wii

Why do I have absolutely no motivation to get off the computer and use the Wii Fit Plus?

Mama I'm a Big Girl Now

Woohoo! Yet anoter new blog. But I am determined to keep this one going. I will! This time though, I am blogging my weight loss! Something else I am determined about. Maybe If I get a move on with this and seems like it will keep going, I will start a personal one again, and then maybe another theatre one. Maybe. Let's see how this one goes though?

For anyone who doesn't know me (and realistically, I hope no-one who really knows me reads this for now) I have always been overweight. Not massively. I never rememeber being more than 13 stone. Which frightens me actually. Because I look back at old S6 photos and think "Jeez Sara, your huge!", but I'm the same weight now that I was then... So what does that tell you :(

Anway as I was saying, realistically, I know 13 stone is NOT massive, and I have recently joined a weight loss forum and I have to say some of the weight loss journey's on the site are inspirational. But my Wii Fit still calls me Obese, and most importantly I'm unhappy with the way I look. And last Monday I decided something had to be done about it.

And it's going well so far. I'm feeling really good :)

So to let you catch up, My start weight was 189lbs. Dress size a 16/18. I'm not following a particualr diet. I'm going to be cliched and say "It's a lifestyle change". But it is. I'm used to eating waaaaaaay too manyu chocolates and biscuits and crisps and cakes throughout the day and that's how I got the way I am. But that's all changed now!

Oh, and I weigh in on a Monday!

Weigh In 1: - 6lbs

Yay =) Happy me!

So that's a wee intro for you!

Ciao x
