Jo's Juddd diary 2012

We are slowly doing all of upstairs as we changed the bedrooms around, the boys are now in our old room so it needs decorating for them, we didn't even start though as we can't find the paint ! We bought it weeks ago and put it in the shed but we have cleared out upstairs and lots of junk has ended up in the Shed and the paint is somewhere at the back, it was too wet to take all the stuff out today so hopefully will get around to it tomorrow. Lovely UP day today looking forward to my DD tomorrow now.
 
Well won't be doing any decorating today, poor Hubbie ended up in A+E after an accident in work last night, he is OK but very bruised so will spend the day looking after him xx. Got really upset when he came home this morning, he hadn't rung me as he didn't want to worry me, so I didn't know anything about it, the thought of something happening to him .... these things make you realise its all too easy :( Anyway he is home and no major damage so I am thankful for that.
No plans for today other than the usual. Hope you all have a lovely day x

Hi Jo, Congratulations on reaching your 2 stone loss.:clap: I lost 13lbs during my first month of JUDDD :wee: I didnt expect to lose that much as i tend to be a very slow loser. It will probably slow down a bit now, but anything around 7ish for August will make me a happy bunny.

Sorry to hear about your OH wishing him a speedy recovery :)
 
Thanks all, yes he is fine just badly bruised, a Steel coil fell on his chest , could have been disastrous which has me shaken but he is fine, he is home tonight though Drs orders , so I am happy. Looking forward to my UP day tomorrow, bought some lovely Hovis Granary earlier which I will be having for my Breakfast yum yum , night all x
 
Morning all, got a few Choc lollies orders to do this week so will be working on those today :) Otherwise nothing planned, need to find out when Brave is released as I promised DD 7 that we would have a Girly day together and go see it x
Isn't it funny how you fancy so many things on your DD'S and go to bed hungry, when you wake up you are not hungry at all ? I have that lovely thick sliced granary waiting to be toasted and have yet to get excited about it lol
Have a good day all x

Last DD of the week, I love fridays DD ! My OH just got in for work and asked if I could make Cupcakes again for work so thats on my list for today along with some School clothes shopping this morning. Have to say I am really enjoying the Olympics so far, especially the swimming and rowing. Hope everyone has a good day although it seems to have gone very quiet the last few days and I am really worried about little Ruth its really not like her to post :confused:

My mum and dad shared a pizza on my DD on wednesday and i was like omg yumm. They said to me I could have the other one in the freezer tomorrow! So I did nothing but crave pizza all night...I ate it yesterday but didn't enjoy it as much as I expected =P Weird huh? I'm starting to think its all in my head ha ha...

I'm worried about wee ruth too =(
 
Due to having made my OH Cupcakes on a DD today I have eaten, which I don't usually, this is not a problem as not eating doesn't have any effect on my weightloss, just makes my DD s easier, because, I had to taste the cakes and icing I had a sugar rush so had a piece of toast too, not sure how many cals I have had but I think it may be over 500, whether that will affect my loss tomorrow I don't know, I am a bit annoyed with myself but I am a control freak when it comes to baking and I honestly couldn't send cakes to work with OH without knowing what they tasted like, I only had a small piece of a choc one and a small piece of a vanilla one . We shall see what tomorrow brings now :confused:
 
Hi Jo,

I'm glad things weren't worse with th coil crash.

I get why you have to taste test... I doubt that will make a difference.
 
Hi Mel, I have missed you , not sure where everyone has gone?? Getting really worried about Ruth she hasn't posted in days :confused: Hope you are well x
Just a bit annoyed that I ended up going over 500 for the first time ever, when it wasn't even hunger or temptation IYSWIM

I'm in America sitting in a hospital -- my dad just had major surgery -- the second of three operations he needs and the most emergent. I flew out of Heathow on Tuesday and landed in Pensacola, Florida 20 hours ish later.

He is doing well. We're about to see him again, then leave the hospital for a few hours.
 
Oh Mel, I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, it must be hard being so far apart from your parents, I missed mine like crazy when they lived in France after retiring, I was so glad when they decided to come back to Wales to live. Make every moment with your Dad count , I would do anything to have one more moment with mine x, take care of yourself and I am always here if you need me xx
 
Official weigh in day today and I have STS, obviously its nice to see the numbers go down but I am enjoying watching my body size go down :D Cleared out my wardrobe this week, have actually put some of my fave dresses up for sale on Ebay as they are now too big , I am now a firm size 14 all my dresses (ones I have only worn once to weddings etc ) were 16, I love all of them but I have no intention of going back there so am getting rid ! A pair of jeans I had last year when I was 11 7 (size 14) but wouldn't fit me, I actually wore yesterday :D they are still a little tight around the waist but fit lovely on the legs and bum. My back and fore the School rain jacket I havent worn in 2 weeks, I put it on to nip across to the shop yesterday and its actually looser (its a fitted style). I expect my weight loss over the summer hols to be slower than normal as I don't do the school run, my only form of exercise and its harder when the kids are home, more food around ! So all in all I am a happy Juddder x
Oh and to top it off I now have 2 UP days to look forward to x
 
Warning - long post alert .
This is for me really, did a lot of thinking yesterday as to why I wasn't more dissapointed with another STS ? Any other plan and I would be throwing in the towel as I would be thinking whats the point this is all too slow, I know that to be true because I have done it so many times. The answer I found was that I actually enjoy Juddd, for the first time in years the scale is not slowly increasing with me trying to ignore the fact that my dress size was creeping up, my weight is decreasing but more importantly to me so is my size. I could quite happily go to the beach today in my shorts and feel good about myself, I don't panic as to what I am going to wear if OH suggests a night out, neither do I panic because 'it will upset my diet plans' as this is no longer true. In the past I have said can we wait till I have finished my diet, if my OH suggested a meal out etc thats no way to live your life.
To me Juddd is not a diet its a way of eating and more importantly its a way of eating that I enjoy, I am not waiting for the diet to end as I think I will always Juddd to some extent to maintain, and I say maintain because I know I will get to goal. At my current rate I may be close at Christmas if so fantastic if not sometime after, but I don't actually care when I get there, I know I will continue with this way of eating and my excess pounds will fall away at their own rate, as long as the scales don't show a gain then I am happy. Juddd makes your body lose fat not muscle or water and that fact actually shows on me I love that.
I would love for more people to find the joy in Juddd that I have and I do try to spread the word but at the end of the day I will carry on Juddding even if I am the last one here, have been on this forum when just me and Karen were following, I don't mind talking to myself lol
So in short, I wasn't dissapointed in a STS for many reasons and all of them good, I had lots of NSV s this week, I enjoyed my UP days I even enjoyed my DD s, last weekend consisted of Burgers and Gu puds and I didn't gain a pound or have to feel guilty for it. I am having a takeaway tonight too and don't feel guilty about that either, all that and I have thrown out my larger size 14 jeans and am wearing my small size 14 jeans, a little snug, but not for long, yep I am one Happy Bunny x
 
oh wow thats.... wow. I was borderline tearing up there :eek: So happy for you and your nsv's :) xx

I've only been doing this diet for a few weeks but I'm starting to get what you mean. Mentally I haven't prepared myself to be on a diet... like how you need to be in the right headspace? It might be a bit early for me to tell but I reckon I can keep this up for a while. I find my DD's getting easier and easier as I go along. And I'm getting better at controlling my up days (but still feeling satisfied). For most of 2012 I've been bouncing around diets, shake diets, cal counting, sw, ww etc etc and I can't stick to any of them longer than a week! Yet I've breezed through the best part of 2 weeks on judd, most of the time I forget I'm even on a diet =)
 
Hey Bajoleth,

I have been reading your diary for a few days now i.e since I have been been thinking of doing Juddd. I am an impatient dieter and therefore I started exante and been doing ok so far but I have started to feel scared of when I start going backk to normal meal (still a few months away) ,so having read your experience with judddd, I am feeling more and more sure this is what I want to do when I get close to goal. The way you have managed and actually enjoyed and still losing on juddd is encouraging. At the moment, I am having to think about social outing etc and sometimes avoid it but I know when I start juddd, I wont feel guilty or scared about any of it :) Going out with OH or to meet family and friends wont bring on the nervousness it does now . Thank you, you are an inspiration :) I am already getting ideas for DD from you diary :) Hope you dont mind me lurking around here :) xxxx
