Week 8 Day 4 RTM

I know.....so much for keeping up with the blog ;)

We have just got back from a fab week in Scotland :D It was my sister's 40th and my niece's 8th birthday while we were there.
15 of us in total..and where there are many folk there is much food! :yes:

As the weather was gorgeous we had BBQ's most evenings which was great for me, but as we all know with the best laid plans.......

To cut a long story short I did deviate or lapse or cheat (whatever)(10 glasses of wine...birthday cake...thai food....shortbread :oops: ) but in comparison to my eating habits of old I was actually very good and the lapses were controlled.

It was so much fun and a big reward for all these months of being so strict with food and drink.

I dragged myself to group yesterday (literally) expecting really bad news from the scales (my pal went to Portugal for a week and gained 10 lbs 8|) so was very very pleased to be told that I had gained only 1.6 lbs :D :D :D

:lalala: :lalala: :lalala: :lalala:

So I have proved to myself that I have learnt some stuff over the last 6 months :yes: and I am very happily totally back on track B)

 :p Current weight is 53kgs :p size 6/8 :p

I have another week off so I am being lazy and happy in my skin!

:wave:


 
 

AWOL

by juliettedreams @ 2008-07-10 - 09:58:42

Week 5 Day 5 RTM

Good grief! cannot believe that I have been AWOL for so long 8| *slaps self repeatedly

Big Brother has to shoulder some of the blame for my absence :>> sad but true!

So..... diet wise it's been up and down all the way as I was warned it could be and most probably would be :oops:

So far it's gone like this
Week 1 3.5lbs off
Week 2 1.3lbs on
Week 3 1.6lbs on
Week 4 2.8lbs off
Week 5 2lbs on |-|

So I am pulling myself WAY back into line this week :yes: and Increasing the activity levels.
Still drinking 3 litres of water every day :yes:

It's far too easy without the structure of abstinence to think a little bit won't matter when it was 'a little bit' that got me in the mess I was in 6 months ago :roll:

Week 5 was alcohol week and I m pleased to say that it didn't really float my boat :no:
I actually felt quite unwell for a couple of hours after 2 glasses of white wine! (used to be able to sink a bottle on a night out with Sarah :)) )

My friend and I both agree that portion control is a big issue so hopefully my LL counsellor will be able to help with that.

I am still attending weekly meetings :yes: but out of the whole starting group of 15 there are only 3 of us still on the programme :-/

I am chuffed to bits with my weight loss of 3 stones 11lbs :>> and I am DETERMINED to learn how to maintain that......like any new skill it's very tricky to begin with!

On the life front we are probably looking to move within the next 6 to 12 months. My hubby wants to build a house for us from scratch 8| ;) so I need to prepare myself for life in a mobile home for a couple of years (jus' call me Britney B))
We don't know where yet but possibly further north.
We have had enough of scrambling round the Surrey hamster wheel :roll: and I can work anywhere as a nurse. The children have another year before they start senior school so it seems like it's now or never.....

I am waiting in the interim for an application form for a senior staff nurse post in Post anaesthetic care at our local hospital and can't wait to move on, so everything crossed please guys :D

:|I refuse to discuss the rain :|

All I will say is that we are going up to Scotland for a week with family and friends next Sunday
It cannot rain
>:-[

I will endeavour to post something here every week and keep an eye on you lot at the same time! B)
:wave:
