ProPoints CarlyLanky140's Weight Loss Journey (28/155lbs)

Decided not to aim for c25k just yet - always expect too much to soon! Gonna stick to Wii and gym when I can - one day at a time :) x
 
Morning Carly :)

DAMN BLOODY RIGHT you are awesome!! I totally understand the feeling low for no real reason, I get that too and it is a b.tch, and it seems like no-one else "gets it"
But with focussing on the plan, and introducing a wee bit of exercise, we will get there, yes yes.

I spoke to the doctor myself about dieting and weights and depression and all that, not so long ago, and was advised that spending 30 minutes outside each day was a great way to fight depression - something to do with the routine of having an "aim" every day (to get out for 30 minutes) and the fresh air, was a great healer.... I decided to walk the dog for half hour every day, but thats not so easy when it's teaming down with rain!!! But yes, I try to get out for half hour a day, and it is helping.

I also have a wedding to slim down for. Luckily, I have managed to avoid being a bridesmaid, but it's my boyfriend's sisters wedding and I cant avoid the photos altogether! Im terrified, at the moment I'm a size 22ish, and she's a teeny size 8-10, very petite, naturally. I'd look like a whale next to the whole family, just a blob of flab in the background... But I'll get to a happier size by then. I don't want to let the side down.

I think with the exercise, I have a tendancy to go in all guns blazing, hit the gym every day for a fortnight and then tire myself out and quit... So when I start my new job on Monday I am telling myself to go to the gym 2 times a week and that will be a good starting point.

What are your plans for today? Hows the Fruit & Veg going?

We can both break these barriers, yes we can and yes we WILL!!

PS - Don't worry about being "depressing" on here hehe, we all have ups and downs, that's what we're here for!!!!
 
Thanks Jen :) ur lovely!

I think I might aim to go for a walk on my lunch break (not that I always get/take one) and maybe do the Wii before work.... Will take one day at a time..

When is the wedding? Do u have a goal in mind? U will look good in the piccies :)

Hannata has said vitamin d had really helped her so that may be an idea... But I'm sure there are so many more I need haha

Fruit and veg isn't great! Again I expect too much - need to aim at one thing each wk to try everyday! Just so expensive and I hate to waste food :s

What u up to this weekend? How are u feeling? Z
 
Ooh that reminds me that I should get more vitamin tablets!

You should always take at least 10 minutes away from your computer at work, yes please missy, or you'll get sore eyes if nothing else :p Mind you, I can't really talk, I struggle to take lunchbreaks too sometimes!

The wedding is in October, it's something like 23 weeks away, so I can comfortably lose 2 stone if I get my ass in gear.. I'd love to be a size 14 by then, but I think that's too optimistic, I would settle for a comfortable 18. I can do it, I know I can, it's just actually DOING it!!

I know what you mean about the wasting money. Maybe pick one thing per week and get that, like get 4 apples, that would only be £1 or something, and then you could try them chopped up, or grated, or cooked, or whole, or sliced... Just to try different ways of having it to see if anything works. Rather than do what I do, I'd end up buying a whole greengrocers and making myself sick of fruit haha! Little and often, small steps at a time :D

No plans this weekend, I had a wallowing-in-self-pity day yesterday and ate the entire contents of the fridge and freezer, but rather than beat myself up about it I've just drawn that damn line again and starting afresh today. What about you, anything fun planned? :Dx
 
U can totally do that and more in 23 weeks :) do u have an idea of the dress u want? What shape suits u? I had 4 friends weddings last year and felt awful in all my outfits! Won't feel that again!

Line drawn :) could u get friends round for nice tea and DVDs to celebrate job? U excited? Do u kno the people already (what with working there before...) - what kind of thing do u do daily at work? I'm in court a lot or sat at comp dictating/ researching :) love it :) lol hate the stupid 50 minutes drive there n bk!

I'm at hypnotist :s and then me n my sis r doing Wii and DVDs xx
 
Gawd I have no idea what type of outfit I want! I think it will depend on what the bloke has to wear - He's an usher and they havent decided yet if he'll be in a kilt, or just a suit, so we'll wait while those decisions are made. No point me getting a blue dress if he'll end up in green tartan, or something like that!!
I have only ever been to one wedding, and that was a themed one where they wanted everyone to wear something pink, (strange couple, not in touch with them anymore...) which was rather odd!
No you won't feel that again, and you'll be stunning for your friend's do next year, you can do it, with you 100% :D

I am so so excited about tomorrow! Yes, I know most of the people there, I've kept in touch with people too, so it almost feels like going home! Is that sad? I don't care..!!! I'll probably be whinging about the place by the end of the week, but I think it will be good whinging, if that makes sense. Its a big company, and the department I work in does all the travel expenses for the people who travel for business trips, or go offshore to work on the rigs. I keep the accounts tidy, and process expense claims, and report on time spent on projects, and stuff like that. It's all computer based, with a bit of answering the phone, but mainly fannying about on the computer haha.
I'm also about an hours drive... Are you sat in traffic for most of that, or solid 50 mins driving? I have about 40 minutes drive, and 20 minutes traffic, it's not too bad. I quite like it for clearing my head, it's my thinking time :) Or..... More likely radio-on-singing-badly time :p hahahha!!

Good luck at the hypnotist!! :) Is this your first one? What Wii/DVDs do you have lined up? I think I might stick on Lost for a while, catch up on that. I never did see the last series yet..!
 
Oooo well we will shop online nearer time to match the fella :)

We all whinge about our jobs lol... Sounds interesting :) good luck tomorrow... U are going home and u can show ur work family how well u are doing :)

We will probably do just dance or Zumba :) and not sure on DVD - a suitable chick flick I imagine! I never got into lost... Will probably watch it sometime lol x
 
Sounding good Jo :) get walking :D x
 
It's my last one (hypnosis) Not really enjoying it - probably expected too much from it lol x
 
I've never tried hypnosis, I always wondered if it was like a placebo, in that if you think it works, then it works, but if you don't then it won't? I dunno :)

Love Just Dance :D !!!!
 
Yea that's kinda what i think! But was the only thing I thought might help with me being a fussy eater... He won't let me leave.. Lol just been and he said we have more sessions included in the £50.. Lol oh well xx
 
Ready for WI tomorrow and hoping for good loss although scales appear unsure haha x
 
Good luck for weigh in today, keep us posted!
