It's Now Or Never

Right, well I've been a good girl this week. Hand writing down my food each day, but I am doing it. I've been doing some of the C25K programme with my sister, plus yesterday and today I ran at work. Nearly ten miles all together. Felt good to get out running again. My list of make victims to join me now includes biker boy! Lol we're still emailing, but all above board. He's a lovely bloke and seems very happy and settled with his girlfriend.

More Xmas festivities planned, one being a night with the Millwall crowd. Think that might get very messy and with a bit of luck I'll disgrace myself. :)

Right now I am shattered beyond belief. Trying to tidy house as have a friend visiting on Saturday, and I'm our tomorrow night. Just had tea though, and am resting for a bit.

Bought some new bras to go with a dress my sister gave ne for the Casino Royale I'm going too. And a couple of dresses. They tried to deliver today but I wasn't in. Well, I was working.

I do feel perkier, I feel back in control again. A big thing for me. Though I can feel the pmt kicking in now. Lol

Right must go, got a ton of stuff to do before I hit the sack, and I feel like I'm sleep walking as it is.

Hope you're well x

Hi there

So nice to hear you feeling more positive and cheerful. Well done with the food and exercise. Excellent work chick. I hope not going to weigh in continues to relieve the pressure on you.

I hope you get to bed early tonight and have a good night out tomorrow and with your friend at the weekend.

Take care x
 
Hiya chica - it is soooo good the "hear" you sounding perkier. It shines through.

Well done on getting back out running. Oh how I wish I could manage that!

Sleep well hun.
 
How are you doing chica? I'm having an ok week. 3 weeks worth of gains for me so I'm trying to break the pattern this week. I'll have to wait til monday to see if it's worked although the scales are being kinder this week so far!
 
Hi Pom, Molly... - thanks for your posts and encouragement. Bev, you weigh in on a Monday like me. I shall look out for your weigh in - good luck. You're so close to target too. What's is it, 5 stone you've lost so far. (I'm sure it is). That's what I want to lose eventually. I think from here on in mine could be the tortoise trail too.

I have been thinking about what I can realistically achieve in the next month and how I approach it. I think I have two options. And I am bearing in mind that I now have 6 more Christmas social events (so far) which I don't normally get to do, and I'm really enjoying having some fun. Whilst I'm still on the diet etc, they are going to seriously affect losing that 9lb. So.....

Option 1: Call target
Weigh in on Monday. Call target at whatever I am and plan to maintain till after January. I like this idea as it takes the pressure off, but I'm retaining the control around it.

Option 2: Attend class, but don't weigh.
As it says on the tin. Less preferred as I could be living in ignorant bliss and be piling it back on.

Right, so that's that settled. I'd appreciate any thoughts though.

On the other front. Well, I had my old girls get together on Friday night. But.... I 'accidentally' knocked back 4 pints in the pub at lunchtime carried on after work (wasn't meeting them till seven) and ended up in a hotel with one of my best friends over the past 15 years (we joke and say we're like brother and sister) having sex. Oops! I still work with him, and to be fair we were chatting and laughing about it all too, I think we'll be fine. But that wasn't quite how I'd planned the night. Still, starts the festive season off with a bang :)

So I've got that off my chest now. I have friends staying over - I cooked a lovely chicken, chorizo and butter bean stew, Spanish, and served some lovely green veg with it. We had lots if cocktails too, but I'm annoyed as they brought dips and I scoffed loads.

I'll crack on now. Only Steven is awake and I'm not allowed in as he's making my birthday present apparently lol

Toodlepip beautiful ladies and thank you once again!

Xxxx
 
Consider this a slap and a :whoopass:.

Had a good giggle at that!

Calling target now? Ermm not sure. If you do call target now you have to promise me that you will go back in the new year. I know I would be tempted not to.
Also, if you call target, you've still got to weight in so any gains will show up anyway. Unless you don't go to weekly meetings at all.

I think I woulod actually just carry on going to WI every week and just take any gains I might have on the chin. But then I'm like that.

Re me. I've lost 4½ st at the mo. Would like to lose another ½ st but don't know whether the floppy skin will get worse. So I'm taking a break when I hit interim target and will have a think whether I can afford to go.

Have a good week chica, and keep posting so we know how you are.
 
Wow what a Friday night you had. Far more enjoyable than mine I'd say. haha. Hope everything is cool between you and your friend though now.

As for what to do weight wise, I honestly don't know what to suggest. Perhaps having a break from actual WI but just keeping as much on plan when you're not at social gatherings, then just enjoy yourself when you are out. If you do that together with your running then hopefully you'll maintain until new year. This is me who has eaten utter rubbish for the last week so may be best not to listen to my advice though!
Take care x
 
Blumin' 'ell girl! Way to go! :D

:). How are you getting on WG? Got a new job through yet? Have you seen how well we're all doing on your 100 miles thread? You inspired me so much in setting that up. Hope you get to add a few more on yourself.... xxx

Thank you Bev, madness huh?

I misread at first and thought I'd put some weight on, only about half a pound, but you can imagine my disappointment. I just hope this is now the catalyst to get to my 4 stone with relative ease. Just 3lb to go, but a fair few nights out coming up, so it certainly won't be a walk in the park. But provided I'm good outside those social events and keep up the exercise it will hopefully be achievable.

I now also seem to def be a 16 in everything new I try on. This territory has not been chartered since my early twenties, so I'm extremely pleased there. In fact some things I've got in a 14, though they're are stretchy fabric so don't really count. I've had to order the dress I've bought for my Casino Royale night in a 14 as the 16 just looks too big. I certainly feel so much nicer in.clothes these days. Obviously a lot if this is around the weight loss, but I also think with age I've learnt to appreciate and show off my figure much more and so the weight loss definitely accentuates that.

Anyhoo, starting to feel sleepy again now. I'm back to waking in the night again, don't know why, but its playing havoc with me. Find it hard to concentrate on anything. :-(

Yeah, the running is going so well! I did a short spurt of fast walk run last night, not done any for so long I might have to start from the beginning ! You guys are doing so well!!
I didn't get the job I really wanted! It's staying where I am part time but they can't afford it. I feel rubbish now sigh.
On the other hand I got given a food flask for my birthday so can take yummy hot food to work, not that I will have anywhere to go after Christmas !!!
Stay strong you are doing so well

Hi Pinkie - losing a big chunk of weight seems to have been just the ticket! You sound so much cheerier in your post.

Wow on size 14! Impressed. Forget the fact it's stretchy - just look a the label and rejoice. I'm in 16's now - in fact a bit on the big side - but no way can I get into 14! :cry:

Oh honey I'm sorry the job didn't pan out. Will there be other opportunities around starting in the new year though? That food flask sounds fab. At the very least you could take it out to the woods with you?

I am just so relieved to have got past my pre-holiday weight at last. Hopefully it has also overcome a mental hurdle too ....

I'm sure you could get into size 14 velour trackies lol xx

Thank you honey. X

So yesterday was my first day back in the office after Friday. A bit of gentle teasing, to be expected. But also the first time I've come face to face with my friend..... He was very lovely and approached me first and we went for a walk and generally chatted about it all. Shoved the proverbial elephant back out of the room so to speak. So I feel a bit happier about that. But it has left me feeling quite lonely. So a bit sad about that.

Also, on Monday I found out that the half brother of my best friend when I was younger, and who died in a car crash when she was 15, well he died in a car crash on my parents road at the weekend at the age of just 20. I've never met him, but I feel awful for his Dad and sister who are going through this all over again, and it is bringing back horrible memories of when Louise died. :-( So an undercurrent of sadness at the moment, but also so thankful that my little boy is healthy and happy.

Today I ran my farthest distance yet,
7.35 miles. I went with biker boy, so he must be a good omen for me. A massive achievement for me. I'm gonna try and run to the Den and back next time (well, my next long run). Right now I am pooped. I'm not sleeping well again, and been paged for work at 04:30 for the past two mornings.

Tonight a waxy lady is coming to ny house and I'm going for a full leg, Brazilian and eyebrows. Wish I'd had it done last Weds now! :-D

xxx
 
Yay to the run. Fantastic chica.

I wish someone would explain all these "waxing" terms to me. I still don't know what a Brazilian is! :eek:

Anyway, I'll be awol for 10 days - off to UK tomorrow with no internet so have a good week chica.

PS Declared that I hit target today. Pleased? Ecstatic!!!! :D
