Bit of a difference in 7 weeks

BIG FAT FACE END SEPTEMBER 2017

30.12.17 - MUCH BETTER PHOTO

CHRISTMAS EVE

Lovely Day...........relaxing wrapping - well wrapping.

sewed an old top for tomorrow with a bit of glitter on it - but it's a bit small i think.

Got into a blouse that i bought 4 years ago and was never able to wear - but had our usual Christmas Eve Chinese Meal which was lovely from Peninsula and then loads of chocolate ice cream and then chocolates.  probably gained a stone.  Feeling sick.

Christmas eh.  Was 11.3 this morning though.

Won't go so mad tomorrow - and will weigh myself on Wednesday and then have wednesday, thursday Friday before weigh in on Saturday morning.  Do not want to gain any wait.

Saturday 23rd December 2017 ! SW weigh in before Christmas

I could not believe that I lost exactly 1.5lb's and got my 1 stone award at class today !!!  Didn't stop to class as per usual.................don't know if I ever want to stop to class -  IF I get to or should I say when I get to 10.10 (8lb's away) I won't have to pay and only need to go to class once a month to weigh in, so that is what I am aiming for.  So all in all for Christmas I am 1stone and 1.5lb's lighter in 7.5 weeks and very happy about that.

HOWEVER, i do not want to regain loads of weight over christmas and have to get 3lb's or more back off to get back to a stone - and I haven't been very marvellous today 'chocolate wise' - BUT iF I am good tomorrow Christmas Eve and watch what I have Chinese wise - then I really only have Christmas Day to contend with this week - Boxing Day I never seem to eat much anyway.  THEN I will have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to be back on track - I HOPE to lose AT LEAST a pound next week 30th December .................... that would be bloody marvellous and only leave me half a stone to target.  EXCELLENT

weight up and down !

have found that i have gained a couple pounds and then down a couple pounds etc....... hoping above all hope that i am only 12.4 at slimming world tomorrow and get my 1 stone certificate.  FINGERS CROSSED yet again.  DO NOT WANT TO REGAIN LOADS OF WEIGHT, feeling panicky.

GOOD NEWS FOR CHRISTMAS

Doctors rang and said that I didn't have to go to my appointment tomorrow which was to tell me whether or not they were going to increase my medication to 'doubled' as my diabetes points have come down (i think) considerably and that i just needed to get retested in 3 months time.  This is great news......just shows that you can do it when you HAVE to.  My weight was showing 11.3 yesterday which was fantastic - but today (yes I am a serial weigher) was 11.5 but I did have  carb heavy day yesterday which isn't good as a diabetic. 

Anyway.  IT still means that in 7 weeks I have lost over a stone - a stone and 1lb or at best a stone and 3lb's.  I go to Slimming World on Saturdays just for an official weigh in and reckon I will have EITHER stayed the same this week or maybe got my one stone certificate as the scales are totally different every bloody week to my own.  Never mind, I know I am a lot lower than I was and feeling so much better in myself.

There is mountains of food in this house for Christmas.  I am allowing myself Christmas Eve EVENING off - when we have a take away - and Christmas Day I shall have a mince pie some trifle and chocolates - BUT DETERMINED NOT TO GO BANANAS !  and then Boxing Day to have a nice buffet tea like we normally do - yes I will have little pastries and dessert and choccies and nuts etc - then BACK TO EATING PROPERLY ON 27TH.  I won't throw the food away, things like the little snacky bits I can have with salad in the new year - as I really am not in to chicken portions etc again at the moment.

All in all I am very happy again with my weight.  Want to be 10.10 by end of January 2018 and get to 10;7 by the middle of the year so there is no pressure on me.  Enjoying doing more exercise too !

We had the works hamper today

it was lovely  -  I also had the 2nd delivery from Morrisons food and still more to get on Saturday - how silly !!!!  I've lost around 1 stone 3lb's and have all this food in the house.  immediately we opened the hamper I ate two chocolate biscuits  I hope I don't gain too much weight over the christmas period.

Showing 11.3

on the scales this morning so that means I have lost 1 stone 3lb's at home.  BUT definitely 1 stone or just over at Slimming World.  I have to admit I feel very hungry today and it doesn't help to have all this EXTRA Christmas food in the house, but I will be good - and only have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and Boxing Day off and then New Years Eve and New Years Day off - and when I say OFF  am determined NOT to go stupid an gain half a stone etc

I hope everyone likes their presents..........I feel I have spent  fortune but the presents don't really look a lot ! 

I hope we have a happy Christmas.

I really hope we have a happy Christmas

ONE STONE OFF

Unofficially I am one stone lighter in 6.5 weeks.  I started back on Slimming World as the doctor said I needed to take control over my diabetes otherwise i would have to have my medication doubled.  BUT with a 2.5lbs loss at group today I am 1.5lb's off the stone - either either I am a stone'ish lighter.

In the new year I may start staying to class on a saturday morning - MIGHT meet new people you never know.

Fingers crossed I don't regain too much weight over Christmas AND manage to keep the weight off after New Year and lose even more.  Would love to be 10.10 by End of January.

Final Personal Achievement Target is 10.7.

Christmas Buffet at work

And for the first time in a long long time the photo of me isn't too bad !

It was nice to see Sally as I hadn't seen her for a long time.

And Lisa said we could have an hour off as a special for Christmas and then Debbie let us leave half hour early.  Result.

Pity S is so huge in the foreground and in the background on the photo though

Well I am chuffed to bits

was hoping for a 2lb lost this week at Slimming World, only managed 1.5lb's BUT with 1.5lb's at home the first week in just about 6 weeks I have lost da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



                              11.5 lb's

so just 2.5lb's to a stone for Christmas, although I would prefer to be exactly a stone light at group for Christmas and get my certificate - I will not over indulge at Christmas either.  I'm not going to be exceptional (never can anyway) but I am not going to gorge myself on mince pies and cake and custard etc.

On Tuesday this week I have my blood tests at the doctors to establish if I have managed to get my points down with regard to my diabetes.  FINGERS CROSSED - I hope I have and IF I haven't there is nothing more I could have done to help those points.  I have lost weight, I have been exercising as IF it is going out of fashion, walking more, even jogging around whilst drying my hair !  Obviously watching what I have been eating AND hardly any chocolate or biscuits or cakes.  I have had the odd one.  I hope above all hope I have brought my points down because IF I haven't I think I might cave in and just go back to old habits.  I hope not.  I have had to alter a lot of my clothes from size 18 to 16's again - can't alter them back !!!  Crossing everything that I have improved my health.

my cutie baby Luna

Lichfield shopping for nanny's handbag for Christmas

Poorly baby fell sleep on nanny 

got home from shopping bobba asleep again with her nasty cold and granddad couldn't keep his eyes open either

I love these close-ups when she crawls all over me grabbing my clothes and nestling into me for cuddles.  Love her so so much.
