It's the last day of the month today and I'm dead proud of myself as I have worked really hard especially in terms of exercise.
I have achieved my main goal for 2009, which was to get myself a job which I started last Monday.
My total loss for March is: 3.5lbs!
I will be measuring myself tomorrow morning as it is a new month - I definitely reckon I have lost inches due to all the crunches, even if the weight loss doesnt reflect the same.

I am the crazy gym lady
I have been to the gym tonight, again!
I was really tired when I got in from work and the gym has given me a boost of energy - dont know what I need it for though cos i'm not going anywhere. Lol.
I have eaten loads though today to make up for the hard work (3 packets of crisps amongst other things).
Made myself a very low fat lunch tomorrow for work, to make up for all the pigging out today before weigh in on wednesday. I have a salad with some prawns and seafood sauce with a yoghurt and a banana. Might treat myself to a french fancy as well lol.

Gym
I really really love the gym ... I never thought I'd say that, but I really do. I had a great one to one this morning (a service offered by my gym where every member gets to spend an hour or so with a personal trainer who sets up a training programme for them to follow and updates and changes it every 6 weeks).
My trainer set me up with 40-60 minutes of cardio an he really pushed me - I was suprised at how much I could do! He also set me up with a load of new exercises to tone the tops of my arms and my stomach.
All my hard work over the last month is really paying off and everyone is saying I look slimmer - I'm deffinitely going to keep it up as best I can from now on.

Working Week and Bridesmaid Dress
Well, my first week of work is over and although it's only part time at the moment I am absolutely knackered!!!! I have been to the gym everynight this week (except tonight) and havewalked the dog everyday as well. I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend and a lovely long session at the gym tomorrow morning.
My bf is very poorly with a bug so I might not be able to see him this weekend at all ... that means that I can use the time to plan my meals for next week and get in some good exercise. I am really enjoying the gym at the moment and find it more of a pleasure than a chore (even after work)
Work is definitely helping with the diet as it's stopped me from snacking due to pure boredom and eating when I'm not even hungry just for something to do. I cant wait to get into the swing of these full-time hours I'll be starting the week after next as I think it will help even more - although will probably be going to the gym a lot less as I won't have much time on my hands.
I have just recieved all my nice new work clothes from the catalogue and they are all gorgeous. I look and feel amazing - if that doesnt seem to big-headed lol. I have some really fashionable clothes (for the first time in ages) and it's not even cos I've dropped a dress size, it's because I feel so much more confident in myself.
Will get some photos and post them up on here over the weekend.
Also, went to my brother's house last night to pick up my bridesmaids dress as I am the maid of honour for their wedding in June. The dress is very pretty, it's a blue-grey colour and is short and strapless. It's a size 20 and is a little tight around the boobs, but hopefully it will fit better by the wedding which is 10 weeks away. Me and my best friend are both bridesmaids and I'm looking forward to getting my wages so we can go shopping for shoes and bags to match the dress (think we're gonna go for silver).

New Job
I started my new job yesterday and it's soooooooooooooo boring. Am in training at the moment so it's just sitting around listening to someone chatting at us for 6 hours a day - snorefest!
Although, on the upside, it seems to be helping with the WW. I have been aking a nice healthy packed lunch to work and I havent been snacking as I've been too busy. I'm still keeping up the gym I went at 7 last night with my dad and went again tonight at 4.30. I also took Molly dog for a walk on Monday morning as I didnt have to be in work til 10. Will do it again tomorrow (if I'm not too tired after watching Shameless tonight).
I had a really bad weekend as usual and ended up pigging out, here's what I had on Saturday and Sunday:
SATURDAY
Bacon Sandwich
Asda Chicken Korma and Pilau Rice
Naan Bread
Onion Bhaji
Jelly Babies
SUNDAY
3 slices of toast with jam
Chicken Kiev and Chips
Sunday Roast Pork with veg and Roast and mashed potatoes
1/4 Asda Vanilla Cheesecake
I decided to draw a line under all this and start again on Monday morning with my new job and cross my fingers and hope for the best tomorrow morning with Weigh In.
I have managed to stay off the scales all week and NOT sneeky peek - well until this morning anyway - I just had to have a look. They showed a loss of 1lb - I hope that's still the case in the morning.
Here's today's menu:
Breakfast
Alpen and skimmed milk (3.5)
Lunch
Pork fried rice (4.5)
Walkers Baked Crisps (1.5)
WW Yoghurt (0.5)
Apple (0.5)
Dinner
Homemade Spaghetti Bolognaise (6.5)
Sugar free jelly (0)
Snacks
Alpen and skimmed milk (3.5)
Points used: 20.5/21

Wedding last night
Here's the pic of me and Jason before we set off.
Well, there was no healthy option on the buffet so I just ate like a pig - 4 chicken drumsticks, 3 prawn skewers, 1 sausage roll and a peice of bruschetta. It was gorgeous!
The cake was chocolate and so I didnt have any (given it up for lent).
Anyway I'm also being a pig today as I've treat myself to a takeaway curry from Asda to have with my BF tonight.
Will be doing some clawing back of points from tomorrow

Wedding Day
Today is the day of my bf's friend's wedding. Will be kicking off at 4.30pm today so I am just chilling out this afternoon for a bit before I need to start getting ready. I've been to the gym this morning and done plenty of crunches to help me squeeze into this dress that I'm wearing.
Did myself a fake tan last night (as the dress is white and I'm very pale) using FAKE BAKE. It looks great today and I feel all summery now especially with the gorgeous weather. I also did my finger and toenails so all I have to do is my hair (curling it) and makeup before I get changed.
Am very worried about dinner tonight - there's a buffet which I hate becaus it's so hard to know how many points are in the food. So I think I'm just going to take it easy, try not to eat a lot and go for the healthiest looking options. I'm not even going to try to point it all! I'm glad I did so much work at the gym this morning!!
Tried a bit of running again this morning with the dog but my hip joints were hurting so much I had to stop - not sure what this is all about, but will deffo be asking the doctor about it as it's slowing down my progressing from walking to running!
Will not be posting my menu today as I'm going to this wedding.

A Little Bit Gutted
Weigh in this morning and insteadof the expected 3.5lbs I only lost 1.5lb.
But it's still a loss I suppose and it gets me my third SILVER 7 and also it gets me out of the 14s and into the 13s! This also means a drop in points from 22 to 21.
Anyway based on my disappointments over the past few weeks I have decided to make some pledges for this week:
1. I will NOT sneek peek - I will stay off the scales until next Wednesday to avoid disappointment.
2. I will make sure I plan my days meals in the morning including snacks.
3. I will continue with my current exercise plan.
4. I will eat 1/3 of my Bonus Points - no more no less as well as all of my 21 daily points.
5. I will look for a local meeting to join next month for extra support.
I have already planned my meals and snacks for today:
Breakfast
Alpen and skimmed milk (3.5)
Crumpet and marg (2)
Lunch
Jacket Potato with half fat cheese and salad (6)
Dinner
Sweet and Sour Chicken stir fry (6)
Snacks
French Fries (1.5)
Yoghurt (1.5)
Apple (0.5)
Bonus Points

21/22 points
NSV
Had a great feeling this morning when I tried on an old dress that was too small and it fitted - I will be wearing this to the wedding on Friday as its gorgeous (will post pictures).
After this I have decided to look at my goals and realised I am:
0.5lb away from 10% goal
4lb away from 25lb goal
I have also decided to measure myself and check once a month to see if there has been an inch loss.
Have also posted some early photos before and durin doing WW to see the difference.

One day to weigh in!
Weigh in day tomorrow!!
Had another sneek peek again this morning and my loss for this week has gone up to 3.5lbs! Fingers crossed it stays like that for tomorrow.
My dresses arrived today for the wedding on friday - ordered a purple and cream dress in size 20 so that I could choose the colour. However, they wer too big for me!! Was dead chuffed in a way because that means I'm skinnier, but also am now in desperate need of new dresses before Friday! Have ordered some different ones in sizes 16 and 18 to try on instead. These dresses are light grey and light pink, not sure what colour I'm gonna choose yet. Will post a pic if they look nice.
Had a little treat today for lunch - Chip shop chips, beans and kebab bite - they were gorgeous (unfortunately have had to estimate points at 12 as the portion was very small).

Sneek Peek
Had a sneek peek today after having a bit of a pig-out yesterday (34 points in one day!). Anyway the scales showed a loss of 2lbs! That would give me my next silver 7 and my 10% goal which would mean a total loss of 1 1/2 stone (21lbs!)
I am hoping that this is still the case on my weigh in day on wednesday! (fingers crossed).
Following this I have decided that the reason I have not been loosing is that I havent been eating enough - I've been earning about 25-30 Bonus Points a week through exercise and only eating 5-10 of them. I shall continue to eat my bonus points and ensure that I have at least half of them. Hopefully this will boost my weight loss.
Today's menu so far:
Breakfast
Alpen and skimmed milk (3.5)
Toasted egg sandwich (3.5)
Lunch
Turkey salad wrap (3.5)
Asda Good for you Cherry Bakewell Slice (1.5)
Dinner
Chicken fried rice (6.5)
Snacks
Melon and Pineapple (1)

Wedding
I have a wedding to go to on friday - was hoping to have lost a few lbs by then, but it hasnt happened. Having nothing to wear and no money - I decided to order a dress from the catalogue which will arrive tomorrow - if it doesnt fit or I dont like it I dont know what I'm gonna do!! I dont know the people who are getting married, so I can imagine it's not gonna be much fun for me as the only person I'll know is my boyfriend.
New Job!
The good news is that I have a job ( having been unemployed for 10 months). It's woring as an insurance clerk and i cant wait to get started next Monday!! I'm sure it will be very boring but it beats sitting at home all day with no money.
Lent!
It is now day 20 of lent - half-way through! I cant believe how well I've done. Although I really fancied a great big latte yesterday afternoon - mmmmmmmm!!!! I'll just have to wait 20 more days!

Strange Scales!
I had another naughty sneek peek this morning and the scales showed a 1.5lb loss!!! strange after the gain they showed yesterday! Anyway, I'll be happy if I can just nudge that up to 2lbs - fingers crossed people!!
Anyway, getting on t=with the strange scales thing, I got weighed at the gym this morning after my breakfast and about 3 pints of water and wearing my trainers and all my clothes and they showed about 7lbs lighter than my scales at home - not sure which ones are right ( I hope it's the ones at the gym lol).
Anyway I've been extra good today as its Weigh In in the morning but I've struggled to eat all my points, just crammed in a bacon sandwich in order to boost up my points. This is because I've been soooooo busy that I havent had time to eat or I havent been bored and started picking at food just for the sake of it. I will try to be busy more often I think.
Here's what I've eaten today:
Breakfast:
Toasted egg sandwich (3.5)
Glass of milk (0.5)
Lunch:
Chicken fried rice (2.5)
Danone Activia Peach Yoghurt (1)
Dinner:
Salad with Jacket Potato, coleslaw and fajita chicken (9.5)
Snacks:
3 jelly babies (1)

Anyway, getting on t=with the strange scales thing, I got weighed at the gym this morning after my breakfast and about 3 pints of water and wearing my trainers and all my clothes and they showed about 7lbs lighter than my scales at home - not sure which ones are right ( I hope it's the ones at the gym lol).
Anyway I've been extra good today as its Weigh In in the morning but I've struggled to eat all my points, just crammed in a bacon sandwich in order to boost up my points. This is because I've been soooooo busy that I havent had time to eat or I havent been bored and started picking at food just for the sake of it. I will try to be busy more often I think.
Here's what I've eaten today:
Breakfast:
Toasted egg sandwich (3.5)
Glass of milk (0.5)
Lunch:
Chicken fried rice (2.5)
Danone Activia Peach Yoghurt (1)
Dinner:
Salad with Jacket Potato, coleslaw and fajita chicken (9.5)
Snacks:
3 jelly babies (1)
Bacon sandwich (3.5)
Digestive biscuit (1)

Sneek Peek
I had a sneek peek on the scales this morning and they showed a gain of 1lb!! I am not happy as I have been to the gym 3 times so far this week and have been so good with my points!
I'm just gonna try to keep it up for today and tomorrow and hope for the best - I might loose loads! Fingers crossed.
This whole thing has put me in a bad mood today as well as the weather - what's with all the wind?? I thought I was gonna get blown away earlier on when I went out to take the dog for a walk. lol.
Anyway as it's so cold today, mum is cooking stew and dumplings for dinner and it smells gorgeous. Here's today's menu:
Breakfast:
2 x toast and marg (2)
1/2 tin beans (2.5)
Glass of skimmed milk (0.5)
Lunch:
Ham and salad wrap (3.5)
Muller smooth peach yoghurt (1)
Dinner:
Stew and Dumplings (8.5)
Snacks:
Crisps (2)
Also, have to share the love for anyone on weight watchers - Kingsmill Crusts Away 50/50 bread is only 0.5 point per slice and it's lovely - better than WW bread or Nimble bread anyway lol.

Day 10
I can't believe it's day 10 of Lent already - it's flown by. I've hardly noticed the lack of caffeine in my body. Although there's been a couple of times that I really really fancied a bit of chocolate or a nice coffee to warm me up. Only 30 more days to go!
Today has been the first day back into exercise again - started this morning with 100 crunches before taking Molly - dog for a 30 minute walk (which was great fun with the gorgeous weather w've had today). Then, dropped Molly off at home and headed for the gym - was planning to do about 20-30 minutes but ended up staying for 45 lol.
Have earnt myself plenty of bonus points and according to the machines at the gym I burnt off more than 150 calories!!
I'm really proud of myself - will be going back for more tommorrow morning.
Mum's just gone shopping to ASDA and is hopefully bringing back something yummy for tea as I havent yet decided what I want. If not it will be a Weight Watchers Meal or some Fish Fingers.
Today's menu so far consists of:
Breakfast:
Alpen and skimmed milk (4.5)
Lunch:
Chicken Fried Rice (5)
Muller Smooth Peach Yoghurt (1)
Snacks:
2 pieces of toast with low fat spread and marmalade (2.5)
Dinner:
?? 9 points left.
I'm going to watch a musical tonight at one of my local schools - The Sound of Music - a girl I know is playing the lead. Am rather excited!!

Weigh In Day
Had an STS (stayed the same) today - I'm glad about this as I expected a gain after the weekend's pig-out.
Had an interview this morning for a GTP (Graduate Teacher Programme) placement - but didn't get it although, the girl who did get the place already works at the school!! Anyway am hoping I've still got chance to get on the course with another school instead.
I've just had a MASSIVE lunch and I'm really full - got the bf round today so am not sure what to do for tea(dinner) as he doesnt eat anything that looks too healthy (eg, green foods, vegetables, salad etc).
Today's menu so far consists of:
Breakfast
Alpen (3)
Lunch
WWFH Lemon Chicken Rissotto (5.5)
Large Jacket potato and low fat spread (4)
Dinner
?? - 9.5 points remaining

Really bad weekend!
Had a really bad weekend.
Added a few extra snacks to my meals on Saturday also had a Bacon Butty, KFC, Sunday Roast, Fish Fnger Sandwich and half a pack of Jelly babies! Talk about pigging out!
I will deffo be working hard today and tomorrow to make up for that before I wi on Wednesday! I reckon I'll cut my points down to 20 for the next couple of days.
However have still not had any coffee or chocolate - that's 6 days! Was feeling extremely tired without the Coffee at first but I'm used to it now. I really fancied a Starbucks the other day - at least I saved myself £2.20.
So in order to make up for the pigging out todays menu:
Breakfast
Alpen (3)
2 x crumpets and low fat spread (3)
Lunch
Chicken stir fry with rice (5)
Dinner
Salad (0)
Jacket Potato (2.5)
Total: 13.5/22
Havent decided what to have with my salad tonight - will have to raid the freezer later.
