Evening all,
Another 100% SS day, not at work until Tue now so no issues for the next few days, I find it so much easier at home especially for my water intake
JUST managed my 4 litre today
Today was fine and I did manage to gift my cake from Betty's ( bit gutted as it is my ultimate favourite cake but also very proud that I've had it since Sat and it wasn't enough to topple me )
I was back on the scales at work today, not just to get weighed but on Sat I hadn't realised it does BP and heart rate etc. . . .
Small drop in weight from Sat, BP = 75 over 90, heart rate was 85bpm so both of those are fine, I would quite like my cholesterol checked but we only get that at work once a year and we may not get the bupa nurse now we have these nifty scales lol.
Tomorrow is a full on housework day so fingers crossed I may just drop a few lbs whilst doing the chores, Sat I will get anything done i don't get done tomorrow then Sunday I plan to wrap the Xmas prezzies. It never all goes to plan as our house is always so busy and I get side tracked usually left holding my daughters baby or something else comes up but that's my plan.
Only 11 small days until 1 Dec and my trip to Amsterdam with Hubby, can't blooming wait. It will just be nice to have some chill time just the two of us and a break is always good. I'm quite prepared for this one and will do SS plus it will be 10 weeks on SS so I deserve a small treat, plenty of choices in the restaurant and NO carbs for me ! A few days later we travel down to High Wycombe for 2 nights for a friends 40th then straight up for a night in Edinburgh, and I want to feel good so won't go wild in Amsterdam or it will ruin how I feel for the party if that makes sense. Home 2 days then away to see my dear friends in Glasgow its a overnight visit but I will be SS , another 2 days later and I have a drinky day in Edinburgh with friends, and back on track for 3 days until my next Amsterdam trip with my best friend when I will let my hair down a little. I then have just under a week until Xmas . . . . As you can see Dec is off plan as much as its on plan. It's all about damage limitation so I am hand on heart planning to be as good as I possibly can, I just hope my will power lasts.
I know I'm waffling again but my mind now gets like a washing machine and I start to panic about the events, I would usually sabotage myself now by thinking I'm going to ruin it so why bother BUT I'm not going to ruin it, I've planned these things and will get straight back on it, I'm telling myself I'm not stopping, I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm just having a few social events / trips away and I still have enough time to get to goal by April 7th for The Dominican ( 138 days )
I know it may sound stupid but I like to have lots of goals and unlike 2012 I lost weight for my wedding and once it was over I didn't " need " to stick to it but this time I want to be slim forever, my big aim for next year is to get to the Cambridge convention ! I'm not saying I will be slimmer of the year but I want to be there to celebrate with everyone and to mix with like minded people who all have had a similar journey !
Today I had my new size 16 black " skinny " jeans on. I don't feel or look a 16 so they may be a generous fit but it made my day as my daughter said they looked to baggy
I may sort my clothes over the next few days as I am struggling more and more to find things that fit without looking to big. When I'm bigger I like things to be even bigger so now most of my blouses etc just look ridiculous rather than floaty lol.
Once Xmas is out of the way I'm going to find a bikini for the Dominican and that will be my motivation, nothing skimpy as after 3 children and being the wrong side of 40 I will never ever have a flat tight tummy but I do know I won't look silly nor out of place and I can't wait ! !
Going to bed a happy Kat this evening, days like this I love CWP and I get excited by the fast changes.
Hope everyone has had a fab on plan day
Ps only downside today . . . . . I currently have TWO hot water bottles as I'm freezing :-(
