ProPoints 17th times a charm!!!

So guys - WI this am. First proper WI on my scales, on a Friday in 3 weeks.....

Friday 26th July - 9st 8.5 on my scales (according to my signature)

- wedding day and night plus following day out and another nite drinking -

Wednesday 31st July - 9st 8 on my scales (I had said I thought my sneaky WI had said STS but I thought I had WI at 9st 8 the previous Friday - wasn't really sneaky but didn't want to rely on my mam's scales at home-which proved to be totally off anyway)

- 12 days of holidays with my family -eating a lot, chips from van a lot, drinking a good bit -

Monday 12th August - 9st 8 on my scales - sneaky WI but wanted some vague idea of where I stood after the holiday

- 4 days of being ok - not great if im honest... definitely went over my weeklies but TMI alert - my BMs have become very regular again -

Friday 16th August - 9st 7 on my scales! Delighted with this. As I said I really havnt been great the last couple of days-eating way too much junk food. Went way over my weeklies last night with icecream and pick n mix-just been a very long week at work. So back on track today with hope to continue the weight loss - though maybe eating a bit more is more!
Also 38 APs this week - pedometer, gym, running on road etc...

7 weeks (to my sisters wedding) to loose 6 lbs! Woohoo!
Nothing big on this week. No drinking for a start!
- Mite treat myself to a takeaway-havn't had a Chinese in forever!
- BBQ tomoro nite in the estate though - family fun day thing... But think ill just eat low pp all day and try and be good. They came around taking numbers for burgers. I said yes id be there but really meant to go out to them after and say ill be there but that I don't eat burgers but think ill just go and just nibble at one, or not eat the bread or something. Because they counted my in specifically, I can't not make an attempt at it.
- Lunch with girls on Tuesday - gona look up menu now-different place. But its in Naas so can go to gym in morn first. hehe...
- Otherwise working Sunday, Monday ,Wednesday so nothing huge!

So that's it. This really cheered my up. Thanks for all your kind words during the week, telling me I had enough APs etc, which obviously I did..... I loved having ye here while on holidays, even if I wasn't on much, and on here for last few days when trying to get back into it.
This is why I need to WI every week.. because it had been a few weeks since an honest WI on my own scales I began to doubt my efforts and thought, there's no way ive lost so I may aswel throw in the towel. But even with eating bad last nite, I still lost. So im obviously eating well all the rest of the times, without overly thinking about it.
And looking back on my holidays, I still don't think I missed out at all. But not worth eating even more crap and not getting my 1lb loss. Im still ahead of my goal of a 1lb a week which is great. And under half stone left! May go back to class next week I think-should be free cos im within 5lbs of goal and im a gold member.
Off to call my mammy-cos she knows I was trying to be good on holidays and I told her id tell her if it paid off!

PS.. really glad I didn't have the raspberry ripple cupcake now yesterday!

Also plan for today is to tidy the house-total kip! aaah! May go to gym later but this is def my priority today.

Also-Serena-look what I got last nite on way home from work



€10 down to €3! Delighted. Nothing else I wanted - or too tired to think straight.

So I've looked up the menu for lunch on Tuesday. I know its ages away but never been to this place. So many yummy yummy things but discarded lots of them cos just not worth the points and then others cos not really to my taste.
So these are what ive wittled it down to....

- Salad of char grilled chicken, grilled goats cheese, slow roasted tomato, broccoli, red cabbage & toasted macadamia, honey, lime & mint dressing
- Summer salad of sliced apple & pear, baby leaves, toasted walnuts& feta cheese, raspberry vinaigrette
- Thai spiced chicken, bean sprouts, coriander & mixed leaves

I'm going to do a car boot sale in Athy at the end of the month so this weekend i'm going through all my stuff to sell. I'm trying to de clutter the house as we want to put it on the market and move back to Kilkenny City. I know it may take years with the way everything is but i will feel better knowing its on the market.
Matt's house is a 2 bed terrace so i'm going to try and make it look as big as possible for the photos. BUT first i have to remove all the stuff in the rooms
i'm also going to start my own diary on here as i'm back on the food now full time and want to keep a check on myself.
I was debating between Unislim and the old WW points system. I'm gonna follow Unislim but just be wary of the FREE food.... i.e. yogurts and fruit.
I know i will gain over the next few weeks as I only came off the VLCD (very low calorie diet) yesterday and i haven't done a proper re feed. but i just want to get my body back working properly and for that i need to be eating plus im trying for a baby and for that i def need to be eating well and taking my vitamins. I lost all the weight for my wedding but didn't get to enjoy the weight loss as i put back on 1 stone between the honeymoon and everything. i'm hoping to have the stone gone again by x-mas.
I'm off to Belfast next weekend and I'm so looking forward to going to the Titanic place Have you any plans yourself?

 

[everton04]

would you believe iv never been to athy and its not too far from me
I love Belfast theres something about it that I just love.

Hey honey,
Aw that's great that you're starting the big move. I know it will take time but 2 bed terraces, I think, are the ones that are moving. De-clutter and make them want it! Well done on gathering for car boot. Ive done a bit of spring cleaning today aswel. My house was in such a mess, it was as easy to dump stuff as to put them away... lol!
I hear what you you're saying about not being able to appreciate your weight loss, but at the same time-once in a lifetime wedding and honeymoon! Was it amazing?
Well let me know what your diary is-ill def be following. Be careful with your re-feed but you're sensible. Just take it slow. You liked unislim before aswel didn't you?
And yey to trying for a baby. Hope it goes well for ye-love your new profile pic.
I love Belfast! Have been 3 times. Would go again in a heartbeat. Great city!

would you believe iv never been to athy and its not too far from me

No Athy isn't very far from you. We're going on a road trip as soon as you're back from your wedding!
I love Belfast aswel! Amazing city isn't it?

Ive done a good bit of spring cleaning today. My house was a total kip but sometimes im better when I have to tody every room in the house, rather than one tiny bit! Its like a big project... Got rid of some work clothes that were too tatty and threw out other stuff.
Pulled out stuff from my dressing up box (fancy dress parties, not kinky! lol) for the hen party next weekend-red and white (where's wally theme). I've ordered a gorgeous red & white skirt from ebay. Just pulled out accessories etc.
javascript:;.

Did very little other stuff. Watched a lot of big bang theory.
Just feeling very unsociable today. Happy to be curled up here in my trackies pottery around.

You gave me false hope on your dressing up box then ;-) I thought there was something we didn't know about you!!! Unsociable is good sometimes! I can't wait to give my house a clean and tidy once Poppy goes back to school, no point trying to do it whilst she's here to mess it up! X

 

[BoS83]

This is the skirt. Hopefully will arrive in post on Monday.

Very Where's Wally ! X

 

[BoS83]

So I'm at my estate party family fun day. Feeling very awkward and out of place. Not sure where to stand and don't know enough people....
