Bev - Round 2

[MiniB]

Had a good weekend, out sunbathing saturday and sunday afternoons! Caught quite a bit of sun too.

Food this weekend has been great, I've had 2 products and one meal and I've been very good with no snacking and my portions have been good too. Really pleased this weekend. Off to the gym tonight (after walking there) so plenty of exercise at the moment too. I want to really stay in control of things before the wedding as I would hate to put on weight between now and then, I know it's less than 3 weeks to go but if I didn't weigh the same (or less) than when I bought my outfit I wouldn't feel as good. So far so good though! No problems.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Well done Bev you sound really in control!

 

[MiniB]

Didn't go gym last night afterall, had a headache I couldn't shift all day and my left shoulder was playing up again (that's the one I had physio on last year). Not sure why I got the headache, it's definitely not dehydration cos I had over 2.5 litres of water yesterday. At least I haven't woken up with it today. My daughter's boyfriend is getting his degree in personal fitness this year and he recommended some exercises for me to do. My shoulder hasn't ached at all today so far!!


Walking into town after work tonight, that'll take about 45 minutes, so extra exercise today to make up for no gym yesterday.

 

[MiniB]

During the day I am doing really good. I am having my two products and feeling fine with that. I'm having an evening meal and trying not to pick at anything else, but it's hard. Picking is one of my vices but I'm doing OK at the moment. I'm not going mad and feel a lot more in control at the moment. Just hope it lasts.

2.5 weeks til my daughter's wedding so I want to stay where I am weight wise. As long as I weigh the same (or a little less) than when I bought my outfit, I will be very happy. So far I'm weighing the same so feel really good about that. Off to my mum's on friday night with my daughter for me to practice lacing up her dress. I was only told last week that that's one of my jobs on the day! I want to practice cos someone I work with took 1.5 hours to get hers done up properly on the day! She said she wishes she had practiced too!! Can't believe how close the wedding is now, where has that time gone!!

Off to badminton later to sweat off some more weight (hopefully)!! Still loving it too.

 

[summergurl]

Oh, evenings are a bummer arent they! Its when were 'bored' and have nothing to do all we can think about is food!
You sound so determined to stay the same or be lighter for your daughters wedding i've no doubt you'll do it

Hope the lacing up of the dress practice is going ok. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics in a couple of weeks time xx

 

[MiniB]

Had a really good night at badminton last night. Played about 8 games and only lost 1 of them! Happy with the way I played, it's always good when you feel like that afterwards. I hate it when I come home and think "I was rubbish and could have played a lot better".

Off to my mum's tonight to practice lacing my daughter into her dress, should be fun!

We have the olympic torch leaving Lands End tomorrow and going through our towns, chaos everywhere I expect. I've decided I'm not going to watch it, I'll watch it on the TV though, much better with no crowds.

My daughter is highlighting my hair tomorrow in time for the wedding then I'm done!!

Have a good weekend everybody, see you on Monday!

 

[MiniB]

Laced by daughter into her dress on friday night, no problems. She looks amazing! It gives her such a lovely shape, she's worked hard at the gym and lost a little weight and looks fantastic in her dress. Less than 2 weeks to the wedding now. She has a big job interview today as well, talk about added pressure!! She's doing really well though, the stress seems to have lifted now as there's pretty much nothing she can stress over, it's all been booked and sorted so now she just has to wait for it to happen.

My other daughter highlighted my hair on saturday so now I'm back to being (almost) blonde again. I love the way my hair looks now, just right for the wedding and will be great for holiday 3 weeks later. She's so good at hairdressing, just wish she would go back into it again.

Had a lovely weekend, really relaxing and bought a lovely pair of linen trousers for the holiday. Not long to go now!!

 

[MiniB]

Walked up to the gym last night and did a session there too. Felt really good. Burnt off around 250 calories which is good for me.

Walking to mum and dad's later and then off home.

My daughter had her job interview yesterday and she was very happy with the way it went. Just got to wait til next friday or saturday now to find out if she got the position. 1 or 2 days before her wedding she finds out, poor thing! Just keep your fingers crossed it's good news.

My youngest daughter and her boyfriend went to London yesterday to watch Kanye West and JayZ perform at the O2. It's her boyfriend's birthday coming up and she treated him to it, he couldn't believe she planned that for him. He was so chuffed!

 

[irish molly]

Bev, you're doing great on maintaining your losses with loads of exercise and controlling your picking.
Not long now till the big day!!! Hope DD gets some good news on the job!

 

[summergurl]

Awww what a lush surprise for him! and i'll keep fingers and toes crossed its good news for your daughter! :fingerscrossed: x

 

[MiniB]

My daughter and boyfriend had a great time at the O2. They were stood about 4 rows back from the stage and had a brilliant view and were really close to the action. Her boyfriend changed his status on facebook to "I have the best girlfriend in the whole world!" and put a pic of the tickets with it. Bless him. They're so loved up at the moment, it's really sweet. Just really glad she's happy and has a really nice boyfriend.

Walked to mum's last night. She's arranged the buttonholes for the wedding. My little nephew, who's 9, wanted a red carnation to match his red bow tie he's going to wear! All his own idea. He's going to look so sweet in a suit with a red bow tie, he's so cute anyway!!

Hubby's off to hospital to have a tooth out this afternoon, his dentist tried with all her might but couldn't get the thing out, so now he has to see the surgeon to get it removed. Sounds like it's going to hurt! Poor thing.

 

[MiniB]

Hubby had tooth out at hospital, no problems. It's fine now, thankfully.

Went to badminton last night and played lots of games. Really good work out last night especially cos it was so hot. Quite a few turned up as well so there was a good mix of players.

Got a very busy day tomorrow. Off into town to get last few bits for the wedding next weekend. I've made a list of things to get and it's lots! Going to Asda on sunday to get a few bits for holiday on sunday too. Busy weekend for us coming up.

Hopefully we will have some time for a bit of sunbathing in the afternoons though seeing how it's going to be so nice again!

Have a great weekend everybody.

 

[JanD]

Gosh Bev - it's almost here! How did that happen??

You're doing really well keeping the weight and the picking under control. You have great incentives! AND it's great you're enjoying the badminton and even enduring the gym now and again

I hope hubby is okay and his mouth isn't too sore.

I can't wait to see some wedding photos x

 

[MiniB]

Had a really nice weekend, didn't do anything exciting but did get my last few bits needed for the wedding on Sunday (it's this week!!!). My daughter is staying with us on Friday night before the wedding and then at the hotel on the saturday night, her and future hubby don't want to spend the last 2 nights together before the wedding thinking that will make the wedding even more special. She's really quite calm now, not stressed out like she has been. Really glad she's calmed down now and actually enjoy the build up, even though it's only one week!

I had a full dress rehearsal on saturday for the wedding and I was really happy with the result. I felt really comfortable in my outfit and can't wait to wear it next week.

Walking to the gym later and then doing a session, meeting hubby up there. Sweat off a few last pounds before the wedding hopefully!

 

[irish molly]

Ah it's great that everything is in place for the big day! You'll love having her for the overnight stay, some last minute Mum and daughter time!
I hope you will post some photos on here for us.
Enjoy the week ahead.

 

[MiniB]

This is my last day at work before the wedding on sunday and I am getting very excited about it now. My daughter is staying with us tomorrow night and then we're off to the hotel for saturday night. I will put some photos on here sometime.

I wont be on again until wednesday I expect so will update you all with how it went then.

Have a great jubilee weekend everybody, I know I will!

 

[JanD]

I'll be thinking about you and Tan on Sunday ) I'm sure it will all all go really well. All the very best to your daughter. Enjoy your day and get loads of pics!! Xx

 

[irish molly]

Enjoy the big day!!

 

[summergurl]

Awww I hope everything goes just fab for the wedding hope u enjoy it and I can't wait to see the pics

 

[MiniB]

The wedding was absolutely fantastic!! My daughter looked so beautiful, she was really beaming! Her husband looked so smart in his uniform along with his twin brother and some other mates from the army. Her dad cried when he saw her first and also during his speech, he really does have a heart afterall! His speech was really good, funny but touching too. Everything went to plan and there were no problems, so glad about that. My younger daughter looked stunning too in her bridesmaid's dress. I have 2 beautiful daughters and was very proud of both of them on sunday.

The happy couple are on their way to Rhodes for their honeymoon today, lucky them.

I will put some photos up when I have sorted them out. I want to get loads printed off too. I took over 120 on the day and some of them are fantastic. There's one of my daughter taken looking in a mirror and it's amazing, I absolutely love it. Definitely one to be put in a frame.

Hope everyone had a brilliant weekend too, nothing will be able to top that one for me though.
