Weigh in Wednesday Week 4.

Nothing different to report this week in terms of regime. The cross-trainer we won on eBay for 99p is bloody awesome though! My bum cheeks feel like stone hahaha!! What they feel like and what they look like however are 2 very different stories but hey ho ... no pain, no gain so I'm guessing it's a good sign :-)

Our staff night out was good though on Friday. I did promise I'd be good but Oh Em Geeee did I fail. Epically. Dr Christian would be mortified if he knew how much I can put away. Let's just put it this way though, there was only one pint of lager involved so just one portion of McDonalds fries lol! In all seriousness though, I'm disappointed in my ability to be good where alcohol is concerned. I'm not a "glass-a-night" kinda gal, I'm more a "pretty-much-nothing-for-a-month-then-have-a-complete-blow-out" kinda person. This is something I do need to work on and I hope it will improve the quality of my journey!

This weekend marks our 1st wedding anniversary and thanks to a lovely little win on JackpotJoy during my hangover on Saturday (cheered me up to say the least!), my husband and I are going to stay in a lovely hotel on Friday and Saturday night to treat ourselves. Mother-in-law has kindly offered to have Carson so that we could enjoy ourselves so I snapped up the opportunity just as my former-self would snap at the opportunity for a big fat creamy delicious melt-in-the-mouth *slurps*... ahem... a boring piece of cake!!

So this week I am proud to announce another loss, here goes...

START WEIGHT:
16st 6lbs

WEEK 2:
15st 11.6lbs

Ewww my toes are horrid - apologies!!


LOSS THIS WEEK:
1.6lbs
TOTAL LOSS:
8.4lbs

So not too bad considering the drinking issue I had on Friday night! In 4 weeks (1 month) I've lost almost 9lbs just by being a bit more selective as to my portions and food choices.

I've been assured that my product to review is on the way to me now so hopefully my next blog post you will all have to endure my "before" bodily pictures *because I'm evil like that!*

My piccy of the week regarding Carson - totally obsessed with pop music -


We tweeted her but she never "text" back - he was upset but happy that it was because she was just busy on the TV instead *bless*

Happy living guys :-)

Weigh in Wednesday Week 3.

The wonders of eBay have outdone themselves this week... I won a cross trainer/air strider thingymajig, hardly used for just 99p! Hubby is collecting it today for me so my mini home gym is shaping up nicely! I've got the rower, reebok stepper from Gymworld should arrive soon and now a cross trainer too yay!!

I've had some lovely dinners this week, found my love of beetroot again - but it has to be plain, not pickled. It make a salad so much more exciting than the usual. Tried avacados again, which I'm really getting used to too but bought a bag of the Tesco Value ones, only for them all to be brown/bad inside so it's put me off for a while I think!

Someone told me the other day that the amount of fruit I'm eating is also not great thanks to the natural sugars and bananas will 'bung me up' apparently! So I've laid of the 'nanas for the past 3 days but kept up with my strawberrys apples and satsumas because they are just toooo nice. I've actually got to a point now I think where I crave the natural freshness of a fruit rather than a stodgy fudge brownie - thought that day would never truly come but it's safe to say it has. I've also been keeping tinned fruit (in juice not syrup) in the fridge so when Carson or hubby is having a pudding I'm not missing out  - because I'm jealous like that! Carson and I are going Strawberry picking this Sunday with my parents, it's become an annual tradition, I'm going to stock up good and proper!

The giveaway I mentioned last week is still going to happen ,I'm just awaiting arrival of the product to review first before I announce what it is. Lets just put it this way, I have high expectations from what I've read and with my mini-gym taking shape.. I expect to too, especially with this item!

Sooooo, here it it... the pics you've all been waiting for.... *drumrolllllll*

START WEIGHT:
16st 6lbs

WEEK 3:
15st 13.2lbs


LOSS THIS WEEK:
3.4lbs
TOTAL LOSS:
6.8lbs
WAHOOOOOOO!!! Pretty much half a stone in 3 weeks.
Not bad going for a healthy lifestyle and no major diet to follow, hey guys??
Now, there's one thing I'm worried about this week, moving forward, I have a staff night out on Friday and I've got a sneaky feeling that red wine may have a cameo role. If anyone knows the deets on fat/calorie content on a few bottles a glass or 2 of red wine it would be really great to know. I used to be a pint drinker and I couldn't believe that it was the same fat content as a portion of McDonalds fries - each!! I used to sink a minimum of 7 on a night out. (Ewww the thought of it now makes my skin crawl)
I'm mid way through reviewing something I won on twitter but the photos wont upload for some reason (think they're too big?) so I'm guna get that sorted and done tonight whilst hubby is on, yet another, night shift.
It gets lonely this Full time working lark. His hours are stupid (averaging 80hrs a week when you include his sleep nights) so I'm running around like a loon working 40hrs myself doing the housework, being a mum, exercising... no time for socialising.
This Friday, I aim to gain a life, not the pounds :-)

Weigh in Wednesday Week 2

First off, this week has been soooo good. Haven't faultered (and I never had any red wine this week either!)
My thighs and obliques (errr...love handles) are really feeling the benefit of the rowing machine, and I have to say that I am feeling a lot more comfortable in my clothes already.

THIS IS WHY I'M SO ANNOYED!!!!

I never had my phone to take a picture of the scales this morning, but can report back - honestly - and say that if ever I was disheartened, it is this bloomin' week. I remember starting weightwatchers in 2009 with my best friend (@stephdezza) and her first week she lost 7lb *despite admittedly eating more than me* and I lost a measly 0.5lb. The lady there told me I wasn't eating enough and focusing on the ww meals too much. I thought doing it a sensible and healthy way this time, not following a set plan, would work better for me. Hmmmfff.......

START WEIGHT:
16st 6lbs

WEEK 2:
16st 2.6lbs



LOSS THIS WEEK:
1.4lbs
TOTAL LOSS:
3.4lbs

I can't let this stop me though. I have to carry on. I recently almost died of excitement having won a Reebok stepper from @LilinhaAngel courtesy of Gym World so that will be getting added to my home-made gym along side the rower soon. Just need to find more equipment to add to it and I'll be rockin' my rolls in no time!!

I have a super exciting giveaway to come up soon, after having been in touch with a company who is going to send me something to review - and hopefully give me some results in terms of this journey I'm on - they have also offered 3 to my readers... yay guys!!

I will need to take some measurements before the trial starts so I can report on those too in future, hopefully inch-loss can be my saving grace for the weeks the scales hate me.

As far as last weeks mini giveaway goes, most of you said 3lbs - so sorry to you lovely people, but with a guess of 2lbs (closest to my actual loss)... *drum roll* ...

@khal_khaleesi

Congrats to you hun!! DM your address and I'll get your choccybag sent to you at the weekend :-)

I'll be posting again tomorrow night guys, so that's how, for now! (oooo which children's TV show had the presenters say that at the end...?)
