[calorie crusader]

Jax, bizzare was my reaction too!!! Was a strange one. Not happened since?? Maybe something to do with all the crap I ate in London!

Anyway, this week I've managed to lose 4lbs so thats the London weight off at least, phew!! Now focused on losing another stone before summer time. I'm not going to be about much this week, have got an assignment due in next tues and desperately want to finish it before friday so that i can enjoy the bank holiday weekend. Hope you all have a good week

Well done on loosing the 4lbs. Don't blame you wanting to nuckle down on the assignment before bank hols. Nothing worse than knowing you've still got it to do. Hope you have a good week and dont work tooo hard x

Good luck with your assignment and a huge congrats on that fab 4Ib xx

 

[calorie crusader]

Thanks all!!

Rosie I'm the one on the left! Thats really made me laugh tho because everyone gets the two of us mixed up all the time, loads of folk reckon we are dead similar, we even have the same birthday, LOL!!

Charly, one of the women that was at the night last night also said that she had wallpaper just like my dress after she got married in the 70s, how funny!! Could you imagine having that in your living room, good lord!!

Essay is doing head in, have been sitting in front of computer all day and have only managed a measly 300 words, pathetic!!! Must get back to it

Yay you! Knew it would just fall off ya - as per usual! Well done though. One less thing to mull over. Good luck with your essay. Head down 'n get on with it and when it's over - it's over. A bit like doing your homework as soon as you get in from school and the rest of the night is your own..... it's a great feeling. Or doing your tax return early.......the dread goes quicker. You know it makes sense.

Congrats on your 4lb loss that brilliant

Thanks all!
Its amazing the amount of people who have told me someone they know had a dress just like the one i wore to my 70s night!!! Lol!! I absolutely love it now, as funky as it is, will defo be going back on for a wee night out!!

Well the good news i have to report (prob not that exciting to most people, but im v.excited about it!!) is that I managed to run 10 last night in under an hour, whoop whoop!!!!! This will be the 4th time ive run the 10k so really wanted to challenge myself in doing it in under an hour. Up until now ive been way off the mark and had more or less resigned to the fact that i couldn't do it. However last night for the first time EVER i managed it in 59 mins, woo hoo!!!! Actually ran more that 10k without realising! So quite looking forward to the race now, its a week on sun. I usually run for cancer research but these year wanted to make it more personal and raise funds for the unit my dad's been attending for last few years, got the go ahead today that I can do that so really chuffed! Think for the first time ever im really looking forward to the race!

Anyway must get back to essay, far too easily distracted!!!

Ciao for now

Whooo go girl. That's an amazing time for 10k. Wish I could do that, i'm just steadly trotting round the streets trying to build up. Oh yes, it is a very jazzy dress!! Hope your assignments nearly finished so you can relax during the bank holiday x

 

[Curlz]

well done on the run thats fantastic-see dont know why you were so worried(i knew you could do it).

The dress is fab i lurve vintage/retro stuff we have a house full!!spesh vintage kitchenalia.

LOL you change your avatars as frequently as me...have a good day xx

 

[Sherry2k]

I'm so envious. Not only that you can actually run but the fact you have the get up 'n go to do it. I'm always gonna do this 'n do that and just never get round to it. Even pulling the Wii Fit out is too much like hard work. Walking Smudge is even becoming a bit of chore for me. That's bad eh? However, I'm well chuffed for ya and that's ace news that you managed it in under an hour. Think of all that calories you're burning. Envious! Like I said, I wobble too much.

Good luck with your 10K. You'll do just dandy!

No-one changes there avatar as much as you Fuzzy. Loved your earlier comment about the afro, ha! Did try to curl my hair but nowhere near as good as a proper afro!!

Cheers Sherry, I have to admit somedays it is a real struggle to push myself to go out running but always feel so much better once ive been out! Also go running with my buddy so can't let her down, it definately helps!!
P.S im still wobbling, slightly less but wobbling all the same ha!

Popping in quickly to say ive been rubbish past few days with my eating!! Need a severe kick up the ass!!! Back on it 2moro no excuses!! I think once you reach a certain loss and you start to feel a normal size again it becomes very hard to stay focussed!!!! Must do better!"

Well still no further forward with essay, still at 500 words!! I'm giving myself 15mins to catch up with diaries then getting back to it! My v.kind boss has given me the morning off to do some of it so thats a huge help, I really want it finished before saturday!

Not much else to report, oh going to see Witches of Eastwick 2moro night with Marti Pellow (swoon!!!) So looking forward to that!

catch up soon

Ooh, that'll be good. It was here in Aberdeen a couple of months ago. He's lovely but a tadd too skinny - like a bit of meat on my man.... not that he's my man..... wishful thinking. I'm going to see Vagina Monologues on Tuesday - that'll be a hoot!

Keep at the essay and the diet chick - it's a hard slog innit! We shall overcome - kickin some ass!!

I know how you feel about the diet. One minute I'm a star dieter 'n the next thing I'm munching on Sports Mixtures 'n having 8 Rich Teas with my coffee! It's a curse! Like a piggin Yo-yo. Hmmph! Grumble grumble.
