Tracking...

I wish my tracker looked like this every day. I seem to be able to have 4 or 5 days like this, where I track religiously, everything I eat goes in here, the exercise I do, everything! But then I have 2 or so days I week where I just don't track properly, it's usually the weekends, where I'm working and I'm not 100% good, I'll track breakfast, and snacks sometimes lunch and then dinner goes out of the window....I need to break this cycle. I need to be on track 100% of the time! Plus my tracker looks pretty like this!


I'm in a bit of a weird stage with WW at the moment, I'm still trying to lose the Christmas weight, I've lost nearly half of what I put on, and I know losing 2lbs a week is the healthy way to do it, but it's so frustrating knowing I've lost this weight before and I put it back on and when I'm losing now, it's not like I'm really losing as I'm just going back on myself. 


I don't know if I fully like ProPoints either, I've never fully got into it, and haven't seen real results from it as of yet. This week is just a bit annoying after all the exercise I did, I was hoping for more than a 2lb loss....


Let's just hope this week is a good one:)

Life..

You

This is the story of my life, I'm in a very reflective mood today, thinking about the past, the present and the future. And I've realised most of my thoughts are revolving around guys, seriously why take up so much time thinking about them when it's hardly likely that one guy is thinking about me as much as I think about him....


It's time to do things for me, and not for any one else, I've already started this by WW, and I'm going to carry on and loose the rest of the weight to get to goal, I'll hopefully be going to America in the summer, which I just need to take the opportunity and live it as it's not going to come around often.


I'm also going to try and enjoy every day, like the saying at the bottom of my page "a day without laughter is a day wasted" it's true, we all take to much time thinking about yesterday, what could have been or about tomorrow and what can be, but we hardly take the time to think about today, what is now, what we are living. It's time to enjoy everything before we waste away our life thinking always about "what if".

Snow, It's Time To Go...

Ok, so snow is pretty and it's OK for a little while and when we have it once in a blue moon, but when the UK comes to a standstill because of 6 inches of snow it's getting a little ridiculous. And more to the point being house bound is NOT good for WW, it is not helped by the fact that I have a little bit of a hangover and have just eaten all day, for lunch I'm now having pasta with a chicken tonight sauce, seriously that's a weird combination...tastes pretty good though! I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!

I could be doing some of the mountain of coursework I have to do over Christmas, but I'm in too much of a bad mood to so instead I have spent the day watching TV. Not very productive. Whoopsies!

Another massive rant I'm going to have is about WW, and whether it is a diet or not, I personally don't think it is, it's changing your eating habits and the way you think about food, it educates you abut filling foods and how to make the most of what you eat. So when people say to me " how are you coping with you're diet over Christmas" and "what will you be eating over Christmas" it frustrates me, A LOT! I mean I eat and drink what I want on a daily basis, if I want chocolate I'll have it, but since following WW I have learnt about food, I mean I sometimes crave fruit, and I miss having fruit and veg in my diet. I can now see the difference between filling foods and foods that just satisfy you for a few hours. I will still be following WW even once I get to goal, that is not a diet and as my blog title says "it's a lifestyle change". So this Christmas I will be eating and drinking what I want and if I put on weight it's not the end of the world, I know exactly how to get it off again.  Rant over.

On a positive note, I went out last night at home, which is the first time since the summer as everyone is now home from uni, not sure why we went out in the snow, freezing was an understatement! But it was lovely to see everyone, and people commented on my weight loss which was great. And the funniest moment of the night was my friend face planting the floor after falling in the snow. I'm actually in stitches just thinking about it now! hahaha

I should really be writing an essay!

So I have a 2000 word essay to write, by Friday and yet I'm sat here watching Crimewatch and blogging!

First of all, apologise for my absence in blogging lately, I've been so busy with uni work and working it's all been a bit hectic.

So.. WW, I lost 2.5lbs this week, taking me to a total of 38.5lbs! which is 2stone 10lbs.. sounds so much doesn't it?! Crazy times. The big loss this week may have had something to do with the fact I spent all day yesterday throwing my guts up( sorry for the detail!) It was slightly self inflicted but still.. Hoping to have another loss this week and then fingers crossed STS over xmas. We shall see!! But it's great people are starting to notice now, and I had my works party on sunday and one of the guys said to me I looked like I'd lost a lot of weight. YEY:)

Talking about the male species... seriously, are they from another planet?!
The one guy I'm blatnetly infactuated with is just so flirty but there's obviously nothing going to happen, I should really get over him but I can't...then the one guy who actually likes me, I blew off because I'm so obsessed with the guy mentioned first. And then there's this guy friend who I've been really good friends with for years, and we always have a bit of a cheeky flirt, and then there's the odd (ok a lot) of drunken texts that go on.. and I sometimes think does he actually want something to happen, because sometimes I think I would like it to happen... but then other times I just think he just wants the flirty side. I give up with males. I really do.


 On a more positive note... here's a photo of my in my dress from Sunday, It's 2 sizes smaller than the one I wore at Christmas last year, and to be honest that was probably a size too small for me but I was in denial.

15% !!

After the week I had, I was not looking forward to WW and told me leader I did not want to know the damage I'd done. Before class I had already planned my meals and everything for the week, and then I lost 2lbs!!!! How I managed it I am not to sure, as I didn't track all week, I went out on Saturday night and I had a chinese on Sunday night!!... This was after a McDonald's last Monday, lunch out on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. I could not love WW any more right now!

This week I'm also making a decision to track in my little book, as normally I track on-line but I think it will help if I actually write it down. Which is good because for some silly reason E-source won't let me log in:(

I have so much course work to do for uni this week, and should probably be doing it now instead of sat on the sofa watching Saturday night's x factor! But I'm feeling ill, so I'm allowed?! Well that's my excuse any way!

I should be blonde!

So today has been a hilarious/stressful day! My petrol light had been on for a couple of days and I always push it to the last drop, today I pushed it too much and RAN OUT OF PETROL. At a set of traffic lights about 100 yards from the petrol station, in torrential rain! Embarrassing! A phone call to daddy later and after a lot of beeped horns at me, because people are too dull to realise my hazards are on, I got pushed to the petrol station! Never ever again will I go leave my petrol light on! 

I then drove back to Bristol ready for work tomorrow, and came home to a letter from Uni saying I haven't handed in a piece of coursework that I actually have handed in!! ARGH! So I will be paying them a trip tomorrow and be giving them a piece of my mind! 

WW has not been that great this week..... actually it's been pretty much non existent. But I shall be on track for the next 3 days before WI and will go to the gym, and hopefully a miracle will happen!!

ProPoints.....

So I was a little bit scared about all this new stuff, I don't deal with change well. But I decided to embrace it as it's all based on new science and they wouldn't bring it out if it didn't work with real results. So I stuck to it religiously, my Chinese last night came in under my 49 weekly points and WI revealed a 1lb GAIN! Disappointed would be an understatement! OK so my leader said that it was probably be because I had the Chinese last night and it would take a few days to "go away" kind of thing. SO I'm going to track this week religiously, will move my ass and get to the gym more, and despite writing this whilst eating oreo's, tomorrow morning brings a new start. 


Staying on track this week will be a challenge as I'm at home for a couple of days and being at home is my weakness, but I will do it, I mean I'm going to be at home a lot over Christmas, I need some practise!


I've been a lot happier recently, I don't know why something seems to have changed, I've realised you have one life so may as well live it and don't dwell in all the sh** that happens. I mean I got a parking ticket the other day and was so happy I didn't care I had to fork out £35 for the bugger! but hey ho! 


Also in one of my earlier posts I mentioned someone I really liked but I thought he didn't like me, well I've come to the conclusion I think I like the idea of him... rather than him. If this actually makes sense, it does in my head. Any way I'm moving on to better things... :) 


Tonight after WI, I kind of went to Maccy D's .. whoops it's OK, I have a week to gain it back, I then drove home yey and have been to the cinema with one of my best friends. It was great, we haven't seen each other for like 3 months? and it was great, we saw Paranormal Activity 2... so I won't be sleeping for a few nights, it was a good film even if I did watch most of it through the holes in my scarf!


I love being at home:)
