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

Thanks everyone for popping by :D

Well I have had an amazing week... I absolutely loved being in school! I have 3 more days this week too :D I kno this is what I want to do! I just need to carry on with my job for one more year to save as many pennies at possible and also check I am definitely doing the right thing!

I struggled to adjust to being finished at 3.30pm and found myself snacking... but I know that when I am doing the job there will be work to do till at least 5/6 so that wont be a problem...

I also know that I really need to and want to work on healthy eating and veg/ fruit.... When I was in Preston last week my friend's mum asked "how are u doing this diet with no fruit or veg?" - I hate comments like that... I want to set a good example to kids - in school and my own (if I am that lucky!) - I just don't kno what to do anymore... It makes me feel sick and panic.... Hypnosis didn't work... I am going to have that as my main resolution in 2012.... I am going to try one thing at a time for a whole week or two.... I am going to ask for a smoothie maker/ blender for christmas (remind me of that nearer time lol) - anyone have any suggestions of a make/ particular machine?

My 2011 resolutions were to lose weight - I have started my journey and I will finish it in 2012 - I want to be a skinny teacher! One of the kids said "Miss.. How did you get that big?" - I was heartbroken and had to hold back tears.. but he had a point - I need to set an example! I WILL DO THIS BY September 2012 when I start my course (and will get to 12/14 by my friend's wedding in August!)

I was also going to save money - I have paid off a fair bit of debt and will hopeful start saving in January.... I hoped to get house/ car/ new york holiday - well these things will be on hold because of the change of career path.. but it will be worth it... I will get there one day...

I was going to stop taking my anti-depressants - I did this all by myself - I feel stronger! I can do anything!

I was going to be a fully qualified solicitor/ HCA/ duty sol - I did all this - who knew it wouldn't be right for me?!

I was going to go to the gym more - I do this on and off - I can do it - me and my friend will keep it up this time!

I was going to improve my beauty regime etc - something else I do on and off lol...

Well I think I have rambled enough....

I am feeling rotten because I have caught a cold from the little angels! But I am excited about school tomorrow... and less terrified about Tuesday as I have sorted out the trial...

I will post my diaries again as of tomorrow evening! Hope everyone is well xxxxx
 
Glad you are enjoying school.
You sound to be doing well on your new year's resolutions - you should look at things like your career goal and realise just how brave you are being by changing direction - that takes so much guts - go you!
Hope you are having a fab day
 
Having an awful day! Want to cry and feel just awful... will catch up tomorrow xx
 
Thanks :) x
 
hope you are having a better day today :)

did you ask about a smoothie maker before? I have a big kenwood one which I love and it looks awesome on my worktop - very 50s style - but I use it so much its a bit of a pain to keep it cleaned. I can't stick it in my dishwasher easily and I'm not a big fan of washing up. I rinse it out every time I use it obviously but it doesn't get all the little bits of fruit pulp off as some of it dries on it - don't get me wrong its clean but I can't get it looking perfect and the ocd in me gets annoyed by it lol I would go for something compact and easy to use but that's also really easy to clean because you'll be using it loads :)
 
I dont have a smoothie maker but I do have a handheld blender thing, I use it for soups more than smoothies, not a huge fruit fan... but its nice & compact, easy to clean and it was about 20 quid
:)
I also have a mini food processor, which I think it designed for making babyfood haha. It's a lifesaver for single serving sauces etc!
 
thanks both - I have a hand blender and it isnt smooth enough for me.... gonna get a nice blender and a chopper to cut my veg small :D xx
 
I've got a kenwood processor too, it's got the food processor bit that chops, skies, whisks etc but also got a smoothy maker/blender thingy that you can fit onto the top. It's awesome coz my kids go through fazes with vegetables so I pack bokognaises, lasagnas etc out with veg but it's chopped and sliced so finely that they never notice. I can't stand smoothies (coz I don't like lumpy drinks) but I make loads of soups.

Thanks both :) I'll look into that x
 
Hope today was a better day than yesterday Carly. Keep up the good work . :D
