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

Awww thanks hun :) might just give it a go :)

So cross at myself!! Set alarm for gym... Did my usual get up and get back into bed ... fell asleep...and missed my class ;( hope I don't get penalised for not cancelling! I will still go later but just feel bad ;( still
So exhausted! x
 
dont feel bad.. i never make early anythings on a saturday.. infact, i always get up early, spend an hour or so up and then go back to bed - think its the tiredness of a full week attacking me! x
 
Yea! I'm exhausted but have do much to do :( x
 
Saturday 7th January 2012

POSITIVES
1. Yummy Fajitas out and 1/2 waffle
2. I did a fair bit of work on the Hen Do and the exam
3. I am not going to beat myself up if I miss exercise (so long as it is for a genuine/ fair reason i.e. not laziness)

Well I missed the gym today.. had so much to do ... spent morning/afternoon trying to sort my best friend's hen do... was a bit stressful... had looked ages ago at hotels and the prices had gone up massively... the planned minibus has fallen through so that means getting trains.. but also means sorting transport to races from manchester... cheapest I could get is £120 for a 42 mile round trip!! (may become taxi driver ;)).... and then me and my ex were meeting up - kinda his birthday celebration.. things had been fine recently but it was awkward today for some reason... possibly coz was a meal/cinema and I felt like people would think we were a couple etc... dunno.. bit was weird... but actually quite liked Sherlock Holmes (hated the first one) and tea was yummy.... Since I got back I have been helping my sister prepare for her interview to be a blue coat (I am going as supporter to audition on Wed - my boss is good for time off.. wonder if new job will be?!) and then spent last few hours revising/preparing for my exam... so off to London tomorrow for my exam... its now 3.30am and I am trying to update before I go... so gonna get a nice lie in tomorrow and then pack etc... so not managed much exercise but that is ok... I am back late Monday but will hopefully get to gym Tues and Thurs (and maybe Wed depending on when we get back from audition)

So all ok....

I have 10 weeklies left... having a warby pizza for lunch again tomorrow... restaurant we are going tomorrow is a bit naff.. menu is a bit limited.. so may end up having pizza for tea (marg is very low pp...compared to other stuff) and might see if I can use my last 10pp to share a pud with my friend... then Monday/ Wednesday I will be eating out but can easily fit within dailies... so feeling positive :D

surely you could find someone who would split a pizza with you and you could order a salad and share that too? then you could keep your pp's down a bit too either if you wanted a more topped pizza or wanted less pp's than margarita? :)

hope you have a good journey down today xx
 
I am only going with one friend and she is veggie so would still end up with marg as they only have two types... But it's only 20 so that's ok :) x
 
Sunday 8th January 2012

POSITIVES
1. Yummy burger & chips :)
2. I am worrying a bit about exam but I've done work :D
3. I hopefully won't have to come to London again haha

Well no gym today but I'm ok with that...all weeklies gone... Gonna be just within dailies next 4 days and try to go to gym 2/3 times... Will probably restart c25k :) x

Hi Carly....just stumbled across your diary!!! Just to say, you WON'T be a fat bridesmaid....because 2012 is your year to be what you want to be!!! Good luck dahl....we started on the same weight. I started in November after a Cambridge one week failure (satanic diet that is!) and a little stint on slimming world (confusification to the max!).

Love and Hugs xxx
 
Thanks petal :) how are u doing with plan? Xx
 
Really well lovely. It's, dare I say, quite easy really and I seem to be loosing quite a lot. I'm really lucky, I loose weight easily if I fully stick to something. The weight went on at 1/2 a stone a year for the past 12 years, so hopefully I'll keep loosing quite a bit, but not too drastically!! Lets see after another 10 weeks though!! How are you doing with it? xx
 
Yea it is easy enough :) I had a really good start and then had a few months of not really sticking to it... But I'm bk to it now :) glad its working well for u xx
 
What's on the agenda today then? Are you just travelling back up? X
 
Monday 9th January 2012

POSITIVES
1. Managed to eat 3 meals out and stay within pp
2. Exam is done...
3. I CAN DO THIS!

Well no gym today as I was in London... Got up and had brekkie... made a sneaky lunch at brekkie time.... then exam... and then grabbed a panini on way to train...

I hope the exam went ok.. Not sure really... there are a couple of bits I am worried about but think it was ok.... Wont found out till Feb/March.. we shall see... I think I will hand my notice in for my job in next few weeks and move to the new place... hope that it will... not sure what is causing doubt... the money, the lack of travel.. all good... think I am just worried what the work load will be like... and how much Crown Court stuff they will expect... also panicking about having one month in a job where people know I am leaving... will have loads of work to do to pass all my cases on to someone else.. just stressing as I do...

I am still fairly sure about teaching... so feel bad for new company.. but would they feel the same? It is all about the money.. and extra money for 6 months would be good... Am panicking I wont cope for the next 7/8 months... we shall see.. one day at a time...

Stupidly got on scales.. only 2lb down... feel a bit angry.. just need to get on with the exercise.. hoping to go tues/wed/thurs depending on my sister's audition... got nothing much exciting on this weekend... got poker night with work on Friday (but my good mate isn't going so I am not drinking)... and Sat I have to go to my friend's mum's 50th - could think of better things!! will just pop in for an hour or so I think... then Sunday I will be on call all day :(

Next weekend is looking the same.. thought my friend was out for her birthday but looks like I now have no plans :( will be good for diet tho haha

So in summary - feeling on track :D

My sister bought me these (see below)

I munched them all... So 10pp over... Gonna have to earn ap to pull bk! Cx
 
I think its totally naturally to feel apphrensive when moving jobs, I certainly do, the night before I've ever handed in my notice, my stomach has been doing knots and I usually find my notice period quite stressful because like you, I just want to get all my work done and not leave things for others - so I would try to not worry too much xx (easier said than done???? Probably LOL) :8855:

How do you get so much on your signature, mine keeps telling me I can't go over 2500 characters and I am trimming frantically LOL!
 
Just read through your diary Carly. You are doing brilliantly especially with pressure of the job situation and your exam. Why are you angry with yourself about a 2lb loss :confused: That's a good loss especially when you lost 7lbs last week. Well done you!!
 
Thanks everyone

Thanks so much Lydia - it does make me trim it... dunno how I fit it in ... might be to do with the number of lines....

Debs - wasn't a real loss last week tho... actually ended up 2lbs lol

Here is today's summary:

Tuesday 10th January 2012

POSITIVES
1. I know that I can do this..
2. I have the day off tomorrow (to go with my sister to the auditions)
3. I enjoyed the quiz with my friends...

I really struggled with my positives today...

I have a confession to make to you all... before Christmas I was tracking everything and was eating on average 300-500pp over my dailies/weeklies each week.... I started back on plan on Monday 2nd Jan... But since then I have been eating the odd pp each day without tracking it .... and then this weekend I have had about 10 each day over... so I think that instead of 10pp over (yest) I was 30pp over from Sat/Sun/Mon... today I was awful... there was flapjack and mini teacakes at work... and I ate loads of them every time I went to the kitchen...:( and then I snacked while cooking tea.... so I think today I went 30pp over... stupid thing is it doesn't seem so bad compared to pre-Christmas....

Scales are now a STS which is no worse than I deserve.... So cross at myself...

I realised I am only letting myself down and felt the need to confess to you all... I don't particularly want kind words or a lecture just wanted to tell u....

I am in Manchester tomorrow with my sister ... hoping I can stay within my pps for the meals...looks like we wont be back till really quite late and so no time for gym :(

I will get back to the gym and 100% on track on Thursday.... :D

Next week I don't seem to have too much planned so should have more weeklies left....

I watched the biggest loser tonight... it made me really emotional... i want to do this so badly... I CAN DO IT! I just need to remind myself whenever I want chocolate why I am doing it... I am thinking I will give up choc for a month.... gonna focus on meals and get something else for treats.. maybe a little cake or icecream or skittles or something... Will just get mini packets... Will go shopping on saturday... so last choc will be Friday...

I am still stressing about eating fruit/veg... biggest loser has made me worry about my health... but I know that if I push to hard I will get really upset... so I will buy fruit and start with smoothies... then whole fruit and finally veg (find veg the hardest)... gonna take one day at a time...

So that is enough for now... Hugs to all

Wednesday 11th January 2012

POSITIVES
1. I went to the gym and worked really hard
2. I had a day off plan without going mad
3. I enjoyed the day with my little sister :D

I realise that today's intake was bad (40pp over!)... I went to Manchester with my sister for her audition.. it went really well and so I am really hopeful she gets it (I will be jealous as I always fancied being a blue coat or working in an american "camp" but too chicken at this size)... and so had a fairly sensible lunch... but after the audition we went to Krispy Kreme.. and then the whole family went for a meal... so I enjoyed my day... but then I immediately went to the gym when we got home to work some off... I did day 1 again of week 1.... and a bit on the weird ski machine thing.. which really hurts btw... (so 10AP earned :D)

So I know it looks bad... but I was in control.. and for once did not go mad with choc.. 2 kit kats only lol... and tomorrow will be my last day with choc.. I have given the remaining kit kats to my mum to hide (for my dad) ... and I am going food shopping on sat... I am going to buy other treats.. but nothing at all with choc.. so no choc cakes or choc yogurts or choc icecream... gonna maybe get jelly tots .. do they do mini fruit pastiles? or maybe some haribo.. and maybe cake depending on what I fancy... and I only plan to have one cake/ sweet a day and after the other meal I will have yogurt.. not sure how that will work on Friday as I am not going shopping till sat lol.. will maybe get fruit pastiles from tuck shop at work or somet... and Friday night is poker night.. so will potentially be a takeaway... but sat night at my friend's mums party and I am driving as I am working on Sunday... so will use some weeklies Friday for takeaway and the rest can just be split throughout the week :D

BTW - I bought two lovely new dresses in Primark today :D so excited... £10 each :D and I also bought some black brogues - to walk to my new job in (heels in bag..) and a ruck sack to take my gym kit to work in (when I walk)... now all I need to do is be brave and hand in notice.... debating waiting to end of month tho as they paid for my recent exams and would feel really bad... plus I am worrying about the reaction of one person.. think the others will be ok.. just the big boss who terrifies me at the best of times... hmmmmm

So I am feeling much more positive now I have these plans in place.. think I will STS on Friday but ok with that...

Am going to gym tomorrow (maybe to do day 2 of C25k)... and a class sat morning (maybe day 2 of c25k?! - depends on what my friend says)... and then Sunday Gym and day 3 of c25k... then Monday we are booked for class, tues I have a class booked alone... and wed we are both booked for a class...

So skint at mo that I can't afford a great deal of socialising... as I said - poker and takeaway fri, soft drinks sat, quiz next tues, cinema on wed... then next weekend I am pretty much at home/gym ... and the sunday I will do dvds with friend...

Rambled enough now xx
