OOPS! FALLEN OFF THE WAGON

It all started so well this week, but I accidently ate a KFC on Saturday, I was wiling to claw back the few points that I went over. Went out for a nice healthy lunch on Sunday ... counted all my points and was dead chuffed, until this big peice of Lemon Cake just fell into my mouth!! It's so annoying when that happens, especially when a big peice of Sticky toffee pudding follows ....

To make matters worse, a really nice guy at work bought me a bar of galaxy as a well done for giving up chocolate for lent, it was gorgeous .....

I'm defintely going to pay for this on Wednesday night on the scales .....

What a week!

Just started my new job this week, which has been absolutely fantastic, very exciting and extremeley exhausting. The people are brilliant and the company seems really good. It looks like I'll be working really really hard for my moneythough. The hours are long and so I've been taking plenty of food and low fat snacks to get me through the days, it's 8.30 - 5.30, which is only about half an hour longer than a normal day but it makes all the difference.
I am having a bit of an issue with the dress-code though, I'm limited to the colours I'm allowed to wear and unfortunately most of my clothes are pink. I've already asked my mum to raid her wardrobe for clothes for me to wear as I dont really want to spend money on clothes that will be too big for me in a few months.

I've had a great week following the plan and lost 2.5lbs on Wednesday at weigh-in, I'm relly pleased with myself as I won the slimmer of the week cup for the first time ever, which I've been wanting to get my hands on since I joined the meeting. My mum has it had it so many times, it's nice to feel like I'm getting something for all my hard work.

I'm still alive!

I haven't blogged for ages so I thought I best write so everyone knows I'm still alive lol. Had a few good weeks, lost 2 lots of 3lbs, then out 1.5lbs on and have lost 1lb this week. I've been doing a lot of gym and other exercise using my exercise plan that I have written in big bold letters in my diary so I'm not likely to plan something else when I supposed to be exercising.

I've also signed up for Race for Life in June and I cant believe I'm actually going to do it. I'mnot really supposed to run due me suffering badly in my hips when I do, so I'm going to prctise walking and jogging it to try and get round a little bit quicker. I've been walking the full 5km on a regular basis on the treadmill and at the moment I am managing it in 50minutes. I'd like to improve on that next week and knock 5 minutes off my time, I will do this on the treadmill by speeding up the pace as at the moment it doe feel like a nice liesurely stroll.

I've also been doing really well food-wise, as I've been going to the gym straight after work, I've been eating my tea leter on in the evening, I've been eating much smaller meals and so have been able to save between 2 and 4 points per day for a treat, last weekend I had a steak in a restaurant with my saved points.

i had a nice NSV today when I saw someone I used to work with and she said I looked great and she could tell thet I'd lost weight. It really made my day today ... well that and the fact that it was my last day at a job that I hate!! New job on Monday, but a nice relaxing long weekend to look forward to beforehand.

BIG FAT LOSER!

I've been a big fat loser this week, needed it really after last week's gain of 3.5lbs - lost 3lbs of it and it was well deserved - I worked very very hard to get it back of. Stuck to the the plan 100% and have created a new exercise plan that involves doing some exercise 4 times a week. I've started going to the gym straight after work a couple of nights a week and also on the weekends. I've also started taking really really long walks on a Sunday with my lovely boyfriend Jason.

On the bad side of things, I've not been blogging much lately because I've been suffering really badly with a headache for the past two weeks - it's been awful and makes it hard to do any work on the computer or any reading. It also makes it hard to do much exercise as I've been feeling pretty bad. Doctor's appointment is tomorrow so hopefully he'll be able to help.

I've bought myself a lovely LIPSY dress from the catalogue recently and it's a little bit too small, but I've decided to keep it and make it my goal dress - it's my next mini goal and I'd love to be able to get inti it within the next couple of months. I was gutted it didnt fit as I've always wanted a Lipsy dress but never been able to get one in my size (still cant by the looks of things - lol)

Anyway, here's to another good week!!

Lent

Had some lovely pancakes today ... been a bit naughty this week, so that was the perfect end to it, will be giving up Chocolate and Coffee for 40 days.
Weigh in tomorrow and I dont expect to have lost much at all since I've done nothing but eat for the last 7 days ... lol

Pancake Day

Next Tuesday is pancake day and I cant wait to make some for my tea. I absolutely adore pancakes, but could never make them myself. Jamie Oliver;s really easy pancake recipe is definitely the best thing that's ever happened to me. Here's how it goes.

Mix 1 cup plain flour with 1 cup of skimmed milk, add 1 or 2 eggs and whisk .....
Done!!

They work out around 1 point per pancake (depending on how big your cup is)

I'm going to have mine with half-sugar and bananas ... and maybe some ww cream if I can get some ... lovely

Following pancake day I'll be getting ready for lent, this year I'm giving up Coffee and Chocolate again (as I did last year) so that means I need to eat all my rich toffee bars before Tuesday. Lol.
