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.  

9lbs in total in just under 5 weeks

At Slimming World I have lost 7.5 pounds but a further 1.5lbs before rejoining (for about the 10th time or more maybe)!  but pleased that I feel so much slimmer already.

Hope to be down to 11stones  again for Christmas.................but at least I am near there. 

More worries in the household K is so under pressure financially, we did warn her and not getting a mortgage for so long and each time they said financially viable - now she is so worried because work is costing her so much in petrol.  Pray that she gets a new job very soon locally to save her at least £50 a month.  AND maybe a £500 increase per year would help considerably.  Hope hope hope. Stress levels are through the roof AGAIN.#
