Nope - 3lbs will see me in the good old 9's. So fingers crossed for Sunday - but if not this Sunday then it really really should happen by the following one. ? I hope so anyway! I think it'll be the real kick I need to stay focused!!
I'm 10,2 as of yesterday.
I looked at my progress on MFP and saw that I was 16,4 just after I'd had Eden and dropped 2 stone - I guess from after pregnancy 'body regaining hope' stuff. And then I had to diet to get from 14,7 to 13,7 which took an age. And then at 13,7 my weight stuck fast! Would not shift! Until SnS came along that is!! Amazing to think that I would still be wallowing and pitying myself at 13,7 right now if I hadn't taken action. Cool stuff hey.
Plus I've learnt a lot about myself = I eat too much! Lol. Basic but true!
My new mantra is: 'carbs are the devil' lol Xx

Fingers crossed, but after a big loss last week it might not budge! Still, I shall squat til I drop and stay on plan!

I did 80! Whoops!! Getting a bit ahead of myself!
I did them with weights to try and do something about these wings!!
Just had mushroom pasta. Am happy to say in pleased that was the only one I ordered! Not to my taste. Feel a bit rubbish now. I hate feeling like I've wasted a meal. We hardly have anything as it is! On a plus I avoided my first proper in my face temptation for a while - homemade cupcakes from my friend! they looked tasty. One day! Xx

At the moment I'm looking at ideas to keep me motivated to get to goal and my lovely friend suggested organizing a boudoir type photoshoot for my hubby's birthday.At first I laughed my ar*e off but you know what? If I get to goal I'lll take every opportunity to show off ( and they photoshop,thank goodness!!)-What do you think of that as a motivational tool?Hehehe!!!
Or I could just keep stalking you and seeing how fabulously you're doing to keep this momentum going!

I think that's a great idea!!
I tried to do one - bought a deal before my wedding off a website that I'm not allowed to mention(!) but I couldn't get a date and so I didn't do it! I would love to do one. I think it's a great idea. Keep an eye out for deals.
Yes - weights. They had dust on them! But I got them out and just did a few basic moves with them but I should really look up some effective moves as I don't want bulging biceps! But I do want to shed my wings!
Any tips greatly received peeps.
So today I did it..... I gave away my size 14 skinny jeans! There are no more size 16 or size 14 jeans in my wardrobe whatsoever (I don't think so anyway!! Lol. Should've double checked before making such a bold statement!!).
I nearly clung on to them in sheer panic as I thought 'what if'!! But as I said somewhere, probably about 58 pages ago(!) there are no 'what ifs!'
So that's it, no going back! I'm in 12's. I have one sneaky size 10-stretchy! And that's all I can wear at the moment. Then... Deep deep in the back of my dark dark closet... Are my size 10 Next Jeans from nearly 3 years ago. One Day!
How's everyone else's day? Xx

Gosh I remember those jeans being discussed as some sort of distant dream and now you are nearly there. We will need pictures when they fit.
Might have a bit of a google later on arm exercises - they really are a problem for me. I think push ups and planks work even push ups against the wall or the kitchen work top at first, then graduating to knees. Yoga can work really well but I need to find some good video's on line and clear some space to do something more often.

Yes! I remember wearing them (once, *sniff* ) but they were so tight!! But the only problem I feel I face now with them is my mummy jelly belly. They may never fit.
In other news:
I've been squatting with my weights for 2 days now (tomorrow's a rest day!) - am finding it still pretty easy. I'm not bragging, I'm more concerned as to why it's not hurting. Don't get me wrong, I can feel it, and I'm pleased in still able to walk, I just assumed I wouldn't!! My friend says it's because I walk so much as it is that my legs are stronger. Hmmm.
So-being crazy-I decided to up my challenge!! I've printed out a 30 day plank challenge chart to tick off and ALSO (because 2 challenges aren't punishment enough!!) a 30 day arm challenge!
This ball gown I am wearing on 1st feb is strapless and I really want to try to do something about these wobbly flabby upper arms.
(Obviously not just for the ball, but it's certainly a motivator!).
Clinquant if looked at a few and the common denominator is 'chair dips'!!
Oh and push ups which I just did and got the giggles! Realise I have no upper body strength at all - clearly it's all in my squatting thighs!! Ha ha!
Luckily it was only 2 sets of 5!
Today's been good. Cor I'm on a ramble! Alert Alert!
Made a porridge pancake with the pack, egg, splash of milk and fry light. And put tuna and salad in it and wrapped it up like a - well a wrap! And it was delicious!! And soooooo filling! I had it at 4.30 and have one shake left but am still full up!! Was scrummy.
Nearly 4L of water done. Had choc wafers today too. And walked to my sister in laws which is up the hill of doom! Literally walking vertically pushing my pram for about ten minutes straight. But hey, Ol' Sammy super legs can do it! Lol.
She offered cake, I said no. Clap clap.
Hope everyone's had a good day.
I'll catch up on diaries slowly but surely Xx

XxAh now you're just showing off,3 challenges??
Seriously,that's fab and if the strapless ballgown is your motivation then run with it...in fact hang it where you can see it and squat with your weights while looking at it,that'll help you stick to all the challenges.
I find the wider my stance whilst squatting the more I feel it at the back of my legs..narrower stance I feel it at the front.
Don't you worry about fitting your jeans,it'll happen and mummy belly will fit in no problem-be proud of that belly,you've earned it!
Off to have another shake,like you-but that pancake concoction sounds delish!

It was sooooo delish! I'd been craving tuna anyway so it just made it all the more amazing!!
My dress is currently at the tailors being taken in! (was significantly heavier last time I wore it!) and I'm having the bottom made bigger to fit in with the big skirt ballgown style! But once I have it back I'll hang it in sight and plank, push up, chair dip and squat - all the while repeating dress dress dress dress!!
I'm surprised I can pick up a fork to scoff food into my face with such pathetic weak arms! Lol! Ha ha. But they will become stronger!
Time for hot caramel shake and read my book in bed! Xx
