My Diary

[KittyBling]

Loving the avatar, Rach! And I forgot to say really well done on the smoking, that's the single best thing you can do for yourself.
Back in harness today, no more alcohol until next weekend, makes a huge difference to my motivation and the weight loss, much better off without it.
Have just remembered (how could I forget) that I'm going to England next week for 3 days to visit my small nieces so I'll have to work really hard this week so I can maybe allow myself a wee treat, or at least I can relax a little, when I'm over there.
Need to ramp up the exercise, I haven't been great at it since Dad died so that will be one of my goals this week.

Thanks. I am feeling better now from not smoking, it will be 4 months on Friday you have been through a lot recently losing your dad is a big thing I am sure you will get back to your exercising again. Where in England are your family?

 

[KittyBling]

My shiny new app tells me I walked 2.5 miles in 35 minutes tonight burning 304 calories averaging 4.1 miles per hour. Pretty brisk and I did enjoy it.
Rach I have a brother in Cheshire and one North of London, another couple at home here in NI. I am going to Cheshire next week, the brother there married one of my best friends so it's always a good break, especially as I'm leaving my own wee family behind! They'll appreciate me all the more when I get back... There is usually copious amounts of alcohol involved though so got to keep an eye on that!

Oh I am from Cheshire where abouts will you be?

 

[Rachgleeson]

Oh and well done on the walking. What app is that ?

 

[KittyBling]

Rach, they are in Nantwich. The app is called Sports Tracker, it's a freebie and I'm only trying it out to see what it's like but so far so good. Problem is my phone package gives me very little data so I'm waiting to see how much it uses before I use it more. Orange are so cr*p that the usage won't update for up to 48 hours! So can't use it again until that happens... More later!

Nantwich is a lovely little place. I am from winsford which isnt too far from there.

I have downloaded a few different apps. Might have a look at that one.

Unexpected lunch out today so no time to prepare but I hadn't had any breakfast and had the sweet chilli chicken noodle bowl which seemed the best option as far as I could see. No dessert but did steal a couple of spoonfuls of cheesecake so I'll have to walk that off later! Now making my soup for my dinner for the week, carrot, parsnip and sweetcorn this time...

[Rachgleeson]

The noodles sound like a good option. I love carrot and parsnip soup, but I always buy it. Not made any soup for a while.

 

[KittyBling]

I have been making loads of soup, Rach, cos it's so easy and low fat and I find it filling too. I experiment from week to week with flavours but have discovered recently a love of parsnips so they are featuring highly on the list! Planning a walk tonight to burn a bit off, I can feel myself almost in the zone, but not quite! have to keep pushing...

I like honey roast parsnips going to treat myself to a new hand blender and might start making smoothies and soup again.

Di you walk on your own or with a friend? I need to get back into it again.

 

[KittyBling]

I walk by myself or with the dog. I have to say I feel a bit naked without him when I go on my own! I do love walking, helps me get life in perspective, I sort so much out in my head when I'm walking along, especially since Dad died and it can only be doing me good!

I would love a dog to take for a walk. May have to nick someone's. Walking does help to clear your head.

Wasn't on here much yesterday, was small son's birthday so was busy with that. I was very good though and didn't have anything I shouldn't have had. He requested chicken burgers and skinny chips for his birthday dinner, I had my soup and sandwich as usual and about 5 little chips. He has Coeliac disease so I baked his cake myself and deliberately made a victoria sponge cos it's about the only cake in the world I can't stand. Anyway, everyone else enjoyed it and I had none. Pleased with that! I'm also loving my sports tracker app. This morning's extended school run was 2.65 miles using 315 calories in 40 minutes. I know it's a walk I would have done anyway but it's great to know how far I went etc.
Food is all still good. I had a skinny day yesterday when I felt really good and really slim. OK I'm not but it is nice to have those slim feeling days once in a while. Hopefully more often as time goes on! TOTM arrived today too so not sure why I was feeling so good yesterday!
Doctor this morning, sinuses are all over the place.

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday and good calorie burn on your walk.

 

[KittyBling]

Now that I've fallen in love with my app I dropped the phone this morning (on to carpet!) and cracked the screen from one side to the other....It still works, for now, but probably won't last much longer and I'll be back to my stone-aged phone. Oh well, these things are sent to try us.... I told my hairdresser this morning that when I hit goal (and regain cheek bones) I'm getting all my hair cut off REALLY short. Now I'm all excited! It was about shoulder length this time last year to be put up for a wedding (see avatar), now it's in a shorter bob but I want it OFF!

Well done for resisting yesterday. Hope your son had a lovely day.

Still not looked up that app, but probably won't need it when my lovely fit bit comes.

I have let my hair grow but as soon as I have lost enough weight that my face looks slimmer I will get it cut short again. Fat face and short hair does not go lol

Feeling good today, food all under control and a couple of long walks under my belt, not to mention some shopping with Mum. Weigh in day tomorrow and I am looking forward to it believe it or not, it has been such a good week. Hoping for 3 pounds so fingers crossed...

Sounds like a good day honey....

My hair has gotten shorter as I've lost weight, it was about shoulder length when I started & now its short at the back with the aides graduated from short down to my chin (think posh spice in her bob days) but one side is normally tucked behind my ears so it looks short. I've gone really red too & I love it

Sounds like a great day. Well done on all the walking. We both have our weigh ins tomorrow then buy anything nice while shopping?
