Third Time Lucky...!

I'm back! Have been half on half off since Friday. Had two nights out, meals out, etc so not much ccing.

Stayed at my exes on Sunday - long story but he came out with a lot of stuff that has changed things slightly - wont go in to it - but I'm hoping he is going to make an effort. We're still split though.

Did kettlebells last night - week one resistance. Really enjoyed it.

How is everyone?
 
Is that your week 1 of kettleworx done now then?

Hope things are alright with your ex now, or as alright as they can be anyway I guess.
 
Let's here for the single ladies!!! *walks out the door singing "all the single ladies, all the single ladies. Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh"*

I am FINALLY sat at a computer and can type a proper post!

So... think my last proper update was Thursday maybe. I went out on Thursday night with my housemates - have managed to get some sort of relationship back with most of them which, although I know they are really awful friends(!!), it is good to feel like I have friends here. So, was a good night but I did drink a lot - also danced a lot - and only had a packet of crisps when I got home so not too bad.

Friday I was hungover and did eat badly... also went on another night out! Loads of cocktails, loads of dancing, massive burger at the end!

Saturday we went for a BIG breakfast - huge and it was amazing! We also went for a walk though and I had no lunch. Had a nice healthyish dinner but did have some choc.

Sunday, went to see my ex. This is where it is bad :(

Foodwise... had a big breakfast but no lunch and a nice, healthyish dinner. First time I have seen him since we split (split over the phone 3 weeks ago). Back story is that he has issues in general with 'not believing in love' and he cant have children and therefore thinks I can do better than him. He isn't insecure in the slightest, but does think that I deserve better.

We were doing fine as friends, and he fell asleep watching a film so I went for a cuddle - he looked so cute! Bad idea though because we got talking about the split and he said he had made a huge mistake. He got really emotional and honest and told me so much. Said he was annoyed with himself for feeling like he loves me because he has always said he doesnt believe in it. He said he split up with me because he thinks he loves me but he has never felt like this before and he is scared that he is going to get hurt. He even cried which is something I never thought I would see.

It was amazing to hear him say all of this and I said I would have to think about getting together and maybe in a few wees, if he is feeling the same, we can think about it.

Fast forward to today and he has decided that he feels all those feelings but still isn't sure about a relationship. So I have said that is it now. It's over. I can't hag around and get hurt again. I was doing well getting over him.

Saddest thing is when you think you might lose them as a friend but I think/hope we will be OK.

Monday food - been fine. No breakfast as I was driving back to uni and then had the same for lunch and dinner - wrap, crisps and yoghurt. Didn't have time to cook. Finished week 3 of kettleworx by doing the resistance.

Today - good breakfast, good lunch, good dinner. Walked 40 mins. Did week two cardio of kettleworx. Loved it! Felt realy good doing it!

Measured today as it has been a week since I did. Results were:

0.85inches off waist
0.90 inches off hips
0.5 inches from right arm
0.6 inches from left arm
0.6 inches from right thigh
0.5 inches from left thigh
STS on back

So really pleased with those results!

Weight: was dying to weigh as I have been prety good and havent weighed for 6 days so was expecting a nice number but my scales are broken! It says I am a whole stone lighter! Whilst I wish this was correct.... I'm pretty sure it's not!!

They were only cheap scales from Asda so will pick some more up when I next go.

So... brief summary there! Haha

Hope everyone is OK and I'm sorry I go AWOL occasionally but I really appreciate everyone's support!

xx
 
It's ok that you go AWOL because we always know that you'll be coming back!

As long as you had a great weekend, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm glad things are sorted with your housemates, I know how hard it was making the house for you.

As hard as it is, you've probably done the right thing with your ex. I've been there, the it's never going to work so you start getting over them, then they want you back so you do, then it gets to a point of it's never going to work again, but then as you're getting over it they want you back. I did it twice, with the same person, before I realised that sometimes, things don't change and it just means going around and around in circles so saying no to trying again was bloody hard but for the best, so think you did well to have the strength to say what you did, I know it isn't easy. I really hope that you manage to stay friends, I didn't and that's what hurts the most I think. We're civil but it's just not the same, awkward. Really hope it'll be different for you.

They're fantastic losses inch wise, well done! You've finished week 3 now? I did week 3 resistance yesterday so you must have caught me up! How are you finding it?
 
Brilliant loss on the inches!

And I think you have done the right thing :) It'll get easier!
 
It's so hard when you really love someone and don't want to be apart, but you know you can't stay together. I completley get how you feel 100%. Unfortunatley the only way I can ever see it getting better is by spending more and more time apart, and realising that life goes on, even if your on your own. I know that is unbelievably harsh and sounds like torture, but I think you will benefit from some distance from your ex.
Sending you lot's of hugs though sweetie, I know how much you must be hurting.

Inch loss is great!!! I have just started kettleworx, so I'm now officially in the "kettleworx club". Glad the first part of your weekend was great, you deserve a few laughs hun. :)
 
Thanks girls! Yeah I'm feeling pretty good about it today. I always find the hardest thing is losing a friend but I think we should be ok. Hope!!

Kettleworx- typo on the week thing!! Haha only started week two yesterday. Did the week 2 cardio yesterday and really enjoyed it. Aching today but not too bad! It's annoying as I can't do it downstairs so whn it comes to jumping jacks, I just do something else.

So annoyed bout my scales! Desperate to know how I've done!! Might be good to have a break from them though and see how I do in a few weeks!

Food today is good. My brother is coming to stay for a couple of days and my house is having a big party tonight. Think me and my brothers are having pizza tonight and deffo drinking but I'll try to dance loads!
 
Scales go wacky during Kettleworx, so maybe it's best to wait until you've done the 6 weeks and just go on measurements until then? If you can!
 
Yeah but lots of dancing and fun makes up for it!
 
*You are the dancing queen, young and sweet only (ahem) seventeen*
What is it about your diary that makes me want to sing???? :)
 
I'm home for the weekend again and am going to try to be good!

I got up to do kettleworx this morning and was all set to go but my dad is in the lounge - he was supposed to be out- and there isn't anywhere else I can do it. Might try to do it tonight if people are out!

I'll try to be good with food - its so easy not to be when u r at home an can have a proper meal tho!!
 
Hope you have a good weekend!
 
Oh dear, new day tomorrow, new start! Hope you had fun at least.
 
Draw a line under it and start again. Monday is always good for fresh starts. New day, new week. Chin up hun :) xx
