Catch Up...

So I kinda lost my way a little and ended up having a little break from my Slimming World journey...I'm not bothered by this, it just means it will take me slightly longer to reach my target than I first thought.

I have been doing Slimming World on and off probably for the last 10 years *wow 10 years...that's crazy...If I'd got to target the first time I wouldn't have to be messing around now*  When I joined last time I promised myself it would be the LAST time...I stuck to plan for over a year but I just got to the point that I wasn't enjoying my food, or going to group, in fact I wasn't enjoying anything!!!

I've had a break since April and I've re-joined and I'm back at group...! Everyone at group made me feel so welcome, I've been to many groups in the past and never felt as welcome as I did today.

I've returned home with a new book, magazine and some focus...my Tesco online order is complete and once delivered there'll be no stopping me.

I've still got my braces on and there's still no sign of having any jaw surgery...although I wish they'd hurry up as to be honest it's getting on my nerves.

Since my last post in February...I have moved house <3 and now live where my grandparents used to live...<3 <3 <3 I'm almost all settled in...still a few bits to get but I'll get there in the end!

I've also been teaching myself to crochet, I'm becoming a dab hand at a granny square blanket...just a shame I can't make anything else *haha*

Here's to more blogging, learning a new crochet pattern & of course losing those extra lb.'s.

Maybe...Maybe Not

Today is weigh in day but Im in work 8am-8pm :(

I'm going to suck up to my manager to see if she'll let me nip out & get weighed...the worst she can do is say no!!!

I've weighed myself on my own scales & Im always heavier on mine than at group...& I'm currently lighter than I was on the group ones last week so hopefully thats a good sign!

To be continued...

Funny Old Week

Last Thursday I had my brace fitted...top one is a fixed brace and the bottom is a removable one...however this has caused me grate discomfort and has made it very difficult to eat.

The only foods I have manage to eat since Thursday are...

Porridge

Vegetable Soup

Mince & Mash

Mash & Gravy

Scrambled Egg & Baked Beans

Jelly

I ended up going back to the Hospital on Tuesday and they have filed the bottom brace down a little making it much more comfortable and it is now much easier to eat...although...I'll be glad when the ulcers have gone!

Weigh in today...was good...I managed to lose 1.5lb which makes 7lb in 3 weeks...I am so glad to be in the zone....feel so much better in myself.  I even managed to blag Slimmer of the Week *whoooop* and I won the weekly class raffle too....good day all round!

Roll on next week for another loss.

ON IT

Today was my first weigh in in 2 weeks, due to missing last weeks because of work and I'd lost 5.5lb....meaning I have now achieved my 1 stone award whooooop whooooop!

I discovered that I'd put 1lb on last time but she told me I had stayed the same and because I've not looked in my book I hadn't noticed...but I'm glad I didn't know as it might have pushed me out of the zone...and as it is I'm now really pleased with myself and looking forward to another good week.

I'm dreading tomorrow....I'm having my brace put on :( eeeeeeeeeek scared!

Back To It

After my missed weigh in last week and my 2 half and half weeks I have gained 1lb at weigh in this morning!

I don't mind this...as I know it's my own fault!

I'm a little annoyed on the fact that had I stuck to plan...I would've probably had a loss...ah well too late now!

Time to get back to it and get this weight shifted! I wanted to lose 1.5 stone by my birthday which is the 11th March...so I've still got plenty of time to do it...!

11lb  until I reach that target...can I lose 11lb in 5 weeks?!?! fingers crossed!

Here goes!

Exercise

I've been thinking about exercise a lot this last week....

Exercise I like ...

Zumba

Swimming

The Gym (treadmill, cross trainer, bike)

Tennis

Walking

I've been discussing with my friends Leanne & Lyn, we're going to start walking on my weekend off which I'm quite looking forward to.

I'm gonna go back to Zumba with the girls from work in the next couple of weeks.  We're all really looking forward to it.

I'd love to be able to go running...but I can't run on a treadmill and I'm too bothered about what people would say if they saw me running out on the streets.  Hopefully when I've lost a bit more weight I will feel more confident to try it.

 I wish it was possible for me to attend something on a regular basis but with working shifts I really struggle.  It's so frustrating!

I guess I'll have to get the wii connected up and wii fit/zumba on there instead.
