Mrs CC's journey

[Mrs CC]

Hey that's a fab loss well done.

Hope you are having a nice afternoon, and work went quickly for you.

Thanks Jules, I was very rude and didnt respond to your post yesterday!

Im surprised so much has gone already, but I have been working hard at the gym and 1500 cals has been a big shock from what I was eating before. Im expecting it has been water weight and it will balance out at a couple of pound a week.

Work was rubbish today, really wasnt in the mood for it after doing so much the last two days. Only one more day and then its my rest days! Thank goodness! I didnt fancy the gym either thanks to my cant be bothered mood but I went promising myself I would only do a quick workout and did a full hour. So am pleased about that. It helped reminding myself how well Ive done already by exercising, I also thought what would I do at home?!

I must admit since starting this job which means working more weekends, my Friday and Saturday nights are pretty boring, its just another week day night for me So sofa tv and footy for me tonight.

At the moment I dont have too much planned for my rest days, I do think Id like to get out and treat myself to a day out shopping, but if its like this rain wind and cold, I can see myself just staying in bed with the kindle!

So far I am pleased with my first week of counting cals. Ive really surprised myself with my determination. Ive got a birthday do in 3 weeks and a dress that was a little snugger than Id like that I wanted to wear. So Im aiming to get into that by then. I wanna drop about a stone/dress size after that in time for my anniversary in Sept, then I guess its the remainder to lose in time for all the xmas dos!! Ha ha cant believe Im talking about xmas already!!!!

So glad its now my days off! Its been a pretty tough week with the gym and work etc, but Ive gotten through it and Im glad. Im pleased with my early progress, its just keeping it up now. I decided against the gym tonight, Im still a bit tight and sore after yesterday so after tea Im planning on getting out for a relaxing walk. I did think to myself this morning can I do this much exercise every week forever?! But then what would I do instead? Sit on my bum and eat!!

Ive been a bit lax today and have been nibbling on mini-cookies in work. Tisk tisk! Oh well it wont do that much damage!

I feel like writing this I sound like a right boring git, I go to work, go to the gym and flop out on the sofa and thats it!! Guess it is pretty quiet right now and Im not wanting to go too crazy with it being so close to pay day. In some ways Im also enjoying life being quite peaceful and stress free for once which makes all this diet stuff easier!

 

[Mrs CC]

Also I know I dont write all my meals out anymore but I find it too much putting it onto my app and on here too! Might just do total cals for the day etc.

Today Im on total cals eaten1614 with my exercise cals at 200 for my walk later.

Thanks Skinny Sia! At the moment I am super determined, I just got to a point where I was so fed up with my size and Im determined that this will be a lifestyle change now - my old lifestlye got me fat so I need a new one!! Ha ha ha!! Im seeing good results already, but Im realistic and know it will take me about six months to get to where I want to be.

Realistic but determined. Thats so good. I was always one for instant gratification and it just doesn't work for me. Slow and steady all the way x

I used to be like that too, Id be really strict for a week and then be disappointed when I hadnt magically lost it all in that week!! It just doesnt work like that tho. Thing is six months isnt that long really compared to the ten years on and off Ive been unhappy with my weight.

Today has been a nice day OH has had the day off too, so had a relaxing lie in, then a walk in the countryside and have just been to the shops for a browse. I saw lots of lovely dresses and I have to admit at times like this I wish I was thinner now to wear them But come next summer I will be thinner and buying them all! I was also looking at getting some nice bits for the gym, Im spending so much time there, I might as well have nice kit instead of my scruffy tat!

Dont know whats wrong with me but I have been super hungry today. Im refusing to have tea till five, so Im sitting here watching the clock tick down!

 

[Skinny Sia]

Glad you had a good day today. Hurry up 5pm!

Ha ha! Distracted myself by trying to upgrade my phone just to get told I cant till August!! Boo!! I had a really nice tea of sweet chilli chicken rice and veg, which filled me up nicely, but I do feel like I could go for something sweet now. I had to watch OH eat a chip butty as well after Id eaten which was tough!!

Today has been really nice, not looking forwards tomorrow, got loads to do round the house and cannot be bothered. Am wondering if I can get away with doing no ironing and going into work on Weds in my leggings?!

Why do men do that to us?! Sweet chilli chicken seems nice. Housework burns calories (that's the only things that helps me get through it!). I'm due for an upgrade in August too. I've had my phone for almost 2 years and it needs to go as it keeps freezing on me. I called up t-mobile for an early upgrade but no luck. Oh well, only a couple more months and then my BB can go away for good.

Great loss and your in the 10's (not jealous atall lol) well done and keep it up

Yeh, mine is the same, had my galaxy for nearly two years, Ive never been 100% happy with it, always seems really slow compared to OH's iphone and now its battery life is pants and four times in the last two weeks the alarm hasnt gone off when it should! I dont know what phone Id want now, it would either be the new galaxy or iphone, but I dont really know. What blackberry do you have and what's it like?

Thanks hun, feel really good for the first week loss, but know its still a long road!

 

[Mrs CC]

So thanks to the OH I was up at 6.30 on my day off to give him a lift to work oh dear! Am just having some brekkie and doing some bits round the house then I shall be going back to bed for an hour or two ha ha!!

I was thinking about this being a change of lifestyle after seeing something on here yesterday, and it got me thinking about what my lifestyle is like compared to 10+ years ago when I didnt have the same issues I do now with my weight. Its funny how the weight creeps up on us and we never notice it and ask how it happened, but now Ive thought about it, my lifestyle is so different to how it was then.

Now I take the car everywhere - work, shops, gym etc. Its rare I walk anywhere, unless going for a bit of a relax etc with the OH like yesterday. I spend 9 hours a day in work sitting on my bum! Before this diet I would quite happily have a minimum of 1 takeaway a month, more if money allowed, along with a couple of meals out, and a couple of nights out drinking. There are always sweets, crisps, ice creams etc in the house too.

This is compared to when I didnt worry about my weight, I had more free time with being a student so would exercise almost everyday. I didnt drive till I was 23 so walked everywhere - work, uni, shops etc. Growing up we never had takeaways as kids, and meals out were a rare treat - like once a year! Id never been to pizza hut till I was 25!! I wasnt super slim by any means but I was thinner than I am now, and never had the same issues I do now with my weight fluctuating so much. Its funny when I see how all these little things have added up to get me to where I am today - fat!!

So now Im more determined than ever to get back to my old lifestyle, no more sweets in the house, no more takeaways, doing something else to socialise instead of eating/drinking, walking more, and of course exercising most days. It does sound daunting, but I used to be that girl, I can be her again xx

 

[Mrs CC]

I made the fatal mistake of going back to bed after the house work and now I dont wanna get out of it!! Uh-oh!! Need to get to the gym cos I aint been for two days!

I dont know what phone Id want now, it would either be the new galaxy or iphone, but I dont really know. What blackberry do you have and what's it like?

I have a BB torch. I loved it. I then bought an iPad and realised jut how slow my BB was. I've never owned a galaxy but bro had one and seemed to like it, other bro has an iPhone and is obsessed by it. Hopefully u can hold out for a couple of months but if not then I suppose u could get a cheapy interim phone.

Well I have found out I can get the galaxy 2 in pink!! This may make up my mind! Performance wise and app wise I do think an iphone would be best, but I prefer the look/size/weight of the Galaxy. Also I just object to being an i-sheep, paying more for the name and having the same phone as every body else!

 

[nyssa88]

I had an iphone 4 and now have the galaxy s2 and i thinks its much better and faster but thats just my opinion x

Thanks hun, thats filling me with some confidence, OH has iphone 4 and my galaxy mark 1 isnt as fast as his, but I wonder if the galaxy 2 or 3 would be better than mine. Well it must be if theyve made 3 since!! Do you have much music on it? How does that compare to the iphone?
