Sheridan's 100 day challenge!

[Susie58]

You are doing brilliantly Sheridan, well done .

Never thought about whether just sticking to water makes a difference with the weight loss. I may give that a go after Xmas.

Oh, I cant wait for my saggy bits to make an appearance LOL x

 

[SheridanLM91]

Thanks guys!

Well it's week 10 weigh in and I'm very pleased do say I've lost 3.1lbs!

Only 2.2lbs until target and half a lb until I'm in the 11s!

Woop!

Ah managed to find a menu for the pub my uni friends want to go to on Friday and luckily they have a five a day salad on the menu and it's only 184 calories! (Or 230 with chicken) and it has no dressing.

I'm very glad, was worried there wouldn't be anything suitable on the menu and I'd have to look odd not eating lol

You are really having amazing losses Sheridan well done. Your first goal is def doable by Christmas. Enjoy your meal Friday!

Thanks Angel, it's tough though! Finding it hard not to justify taking a longer break from now since there will undoubtedly be a gain over christmas lol!
I saw the 11s this morning! Only two weeks more to keep up!

Day 72/100?

I'm not sure haven't really been counting the days.

Anyways I'm doing okay I guess, have been 100% and still going strong. I am now ill though but suspect most people are this time of year.

My son was off school yesterday as he complained he was ill but really was fine, though he did go back to bed for an hour. And just half an hour ago, got a phone call from my daughter's nursery saying to pick her up as she's been sick. Would have been okay if she had ACTUALLY been sick and not just coughed up some phlegm.

I do hate when they exaggerate, her and every other kid at the nursery have some bad coughs but by no means any bugs.

It's so hard to stay focused, I had come back to bed feeling so tired and drained. I have one essay to finish by tomorrow and then I'm done for the Christmas holidays until January 12th at uni.

The problem is I have no motivation to do the essay and haven't even started it properly. It's really difficult, I don't know what's wrong with me right now. I have to tried and get it done with my daughter running around and most likely pull an all nighter to get it finished. I'm frustrated because my daughter will have to have tomorrow off nursery as well since they sent her home 'sick'.

I just need to get this done then can spend next week before they both finish for Christmas holidays recuperating and recharging a bit.

I don't understand how I can keep such motivation for the diet but lack it so badly for uni. Sigh, sorry for the long rant but certainly hate children being sent home when they are not actually ill. :/

Hope you met the deadline Sheridan. Just think no more essays till after Xmas ? x

Managed to do it! I had to stay up all night and only just got an hour of sleep before I had to go to uni! Then a lecture and a further few hours editing because there was a rolling power cut at uni! Argh! But it's in and done. So happy.

Went to the pub with my friends to celebrate end of semester. I had planned to have coke zero and a small salad. Well they didn't have coke zero so I got a normal coke and only had a chicken and bacon salad - except they ran out of bacon! So gave me extra chicken! The portion was huge, must have been half a lettuce in it! I only ate half and had an onion ring and half a chocolate brownie.

The brownie I didn't enjoy, but I don't regret it, definitely deserved a treat and to enjoy myself with my friends.

4 days til weigh in so plenty of time to lose any gain. I was 11st 12.4lbs - super close. So hopefully I'm there this time next week.

I may need to lie down soon though, don't know how I've stayed awake all day! Haha

 

[SheridanLM91]

Feeling a but rough today, but that is more than likely because was already ill with a cold and run down due to lack of sleep.

Got up sooner than I wanted to this morning, kids didn't want to be quiet so couldn't get back to sleep. May have a nap, I can feel how drained I'm going to be for the weekend.

I weighed this morning to see if it would be a quick gain, but am the same as yesterday. Pleased with that, hopefully counteract any delayed gain before weigh in on Tuesday and meet my Christmas goal.

I don't feel hungry at all today, just really thirsty. So water should be easy to get down today.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday!

 

[SheridanLM91]

Well my gain from Friday evening appeared today.

Only 0.3lbs so not too bad. Still less than a pound to go til I reach my first mini goal.

Definitely should be achievable by Friday this week.

 

[Angel72]

Well done on getting your essay in Sheridan. You really have extraordinary dedication, especially with little ones running around. Congratulations on reaching your Christmas goal. I'm so proud of you! Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get to catch up on sleep and relax. I expect those 3 dresses fit now?

Thank you angel! Been difficult but worth it. Yes, all three dresses fit so I have a choice!

I'm technically off my goal by 0.2lbs - nothing I know but I want to be as close to 11st 12lbs exactly as possible.

I will probably be there tomorrow for weigh in but have decided to go out and have a nice lunch with hubby on Wednesday now that finally stress free for 5 minutes.

But I know the gain will be nothing compared to what I've lost so far.

Next stop - 3st loss!

 

[Angel72]

I reckon you'll be there by the morning. Fingers crossed for you. Your new profile pic show you looking positively skinny! Very pretty.

I can't stop taking photos - just hard to believe how much of a difference.

 

[SheridanLM91]

I did it!

Week 11 weigh in and I am down 2.4lbs and have reached my first mini goal! 11st 11.8lbs this morning!

So so pleased!

I know I will go back up over the next few weeks but I know I can get back to it and after Christmas I will change it to my next goal of 3st off!

 

[heatwave74]

Well done you have always been consistent I'm in no doubt you will achieve your next goal!
