Laura's Summer Slimming!

[LauraLoo]

Argh been so busy I have neglected you diary! Weekend was a bit sketchy food and drink wise & therefore I shall not divulge what I ate - not horrendous but not quite on plan!

Less than a month now until I get my insulin pump too, and I had my annual diabetic clinic appointment this morning - Hba1C was 7.4 (which will mean nothing to most of you!) but hoping the pump will reduce that even further. Ideally is has to be under 7 but I would like it closer to 6. I had to fast though and rushed into work and grabbed a small bowl of muesli, a mullerlight & some grapes!

Not long now, I really hope it makes a difference for you.

Forgot to weigh this morning as was feeling rough when I got up, first day of my AF and I had a hypo at 12.40am this morning so felt poop. Will weigh tomorrow morning & hoping to get out my first(!!) run of 2014 either tonight or tomorrow night. If not will do Davina DVD at home.

Morning, have you thought of a BBQ sauce to smother your chicken? One of my favs is chicken topped with bacon, cheese (hex a) and onion smothered in BBQ sauce. It's looooovely x

I buy mine from tesco, it's their own brand and I don't use a whole lot of it between the 2 of us so usually get a few dinners out of it at about 3/4syns each. I have thought about making my own but tbh I cantbe bothered! Lol x

Hellooooooooo all!

Well we booked a holiday so 8 weeks to go, I would like to shift as close to a stone as possible by then so back to the RED SW plan with avengence as of today! I need to keep logging in here to keep the momentum going too and as of tonight I am getting back to running!

The past 6 weeks have been a whirlwind of learning and stuff as I now have my new insulin pump so it's all about learning to balance everything with that too, it certainly ain't easy but is a huge learning curve! So fingers crossed for no crazy numbers when I get back to exercising as I want to go out at least 3 if not 4 times a week - some of that may be going to the gym too, we shall see.

I didn't actually weigh in this morning, but am going to tomorrow - bit scared what the scales will say but I think prob about 12st 2lbs...we shall see!

8 weeks, 14lbs......game on!!
