Time to get serious!

[CrazyDiamond]

Have you started again Hun? X

Oh yes! I was strict and restarted the precise day I said I would after holiday, so currently on day 12! All holiday lbs lost now plus a bit extra!

Went on an online shopping spree yesterday, all in the next size down, getting fed up clothes no longer fitting so getting ahead of the game whilst there was a discount! I shouldn't complain really just it's getting expensive! Still trying to eBay but struggling for the enthusiasm for the time it takes!!

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Just had my shopping delivery, went a bit mad in the tea section!

Unfortunately these all seem to have "apple pieces" in them. I am going to have them anyway and monitor my ketosis, honestly don't think it'll do harm since I've unknowingly been drinking the apple and blueberry anyway, and every other fruit tea under the sun actually!!

What exciting lives we lead!

Weird yes, but no doubt I would do the same! Saw a polish guy at work with a pile of scrambled egg with sliced onion on top, i wanted it!!!

Not gonna let myself come off of ss yet, as much as I sometimes want to! As long as I am sticking to it I will persist.

My stomach is being bloody noisy this morning though, wish it would shut up!!

 

[CrazyDiamond]

So after being told I can't bake for my nana, I am rebelling! Currently in the oven baking is a mini simnel cake, enough to serve maybe 2 or 3 people, ha! They can't complain that wont get eaten hey?! And I feel oh so happy to be baking again!

Also got a new look delivery this morning, ordered some stuff whilst it was 25% off the other day, ordered all size 12 since I figure I won't be a 14 for too much longer, surprisingly some of it actually fits already! Showed mum what I got, think she's gone from being proud and pleased for me to fed up and bored of it. I was just showing her the clothes as I always do, but she took it like I was boasting about my weight loss, had to correct her. She told me the girl at work who lost lost of weight didn't keep getting new clothes, just wore the old big ones until target, well I'm sorry but I won't walk around looking like a sack of s**t, I wear my old big clothes around the house and that description might even be too nice! Not to mention falling down trousers and pants! I really want to help her loose weight too but I can't help her if she doesn't help herself! So it seems I'm not allowed to mention anything that could relate to my weight without causing offence now! Same goes at work because of an overweight person! Gah!

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Oh, would like to add that I did this in my lunch hour (I'm working from home!) looks like I'm baking and not working which isn't the case!

Anywho, here's the result, the cutest little simnel cake, shame I can't eat it, I've never actually tried simnel cake before either! My Nana will hopefully enjoy it....

Hey was just reading through and this ale looks fab. What is it? I also love to bake and really want to but since my oh is also on cd it seems silly to bake. Temptation would be to high for us I think

Wow hun that looks amazing, well done.

What a shame your Mum isn't being a bit more supportive like you say she had to help herself first so you can only try so much.

You keep buy those clothes and keep feeling proud off what you have achieved, don't let anyone take that away from you x

Simnel cake, I've never tried it personally but apparently its similar to christmas cake but a lot lighter, and has a vein of marzipan running through the middle, mmmm!

That's a shame, saying that I've only had the opportunity to bake twice since I've been on plan since there's not really anyone to eat it, it's hard since pre-cambridge I used to bake and cook all weekend every weekend since I love it so much!

Thanks! I miss baking so much!!

It is a shame, I really want her to do something about her weight, she's at an age where it will cause problems with her health, but I guess no-one can make that happen except yourself. Up until now she's been supportive and actually my losses were spurring her on to take action, but since I went on holiday it's not happening, and I think in a way it just frustrates her that I am able to do something and she's struggling. I'm hoping that if/when I become a CWPC that maybe we an figure something out, she's been reading my book so is showing interest.

So... weigh in this morning, and another 4lbs off! really happy with this! and even happier that I am finally in the 11s YAY!!

So next challenge....keep my liquids up this week and get another good loss to take me up to a 3 stone total!!

I must admit though, seeing as I am now a size 12/14 (mainly 14) I'm beginning to wonder when my stomach, thunder thighs and bingo wings are going to start their departure!! I REALLY hope I don't find myself a size 10 one day and still in posessiom of them!!

What is funny though, is that I can look in the mirror with clothes on and think, yeah, im looking ok, but as soon as they come off all I can see is the same old lumpy bumpy body! I guess what I want is a bit more streamlines, smoother lines as it were, at the moment I would compare my body to a road with quite a few speed bumps!

hey ho! still 2 and a bit stone to go, a lot can happen in 2 and a bit stone eh!

I hear you there...thunder thighs and bingo wings here too. Im guessing exercise is the key, but I'm sooo super lazy!! I've come to terms with the fact I'll never have a bikini body and I'm good with that .

But does exercise really help that anyway? I know you can't target specific areas anyhow!I just keep on with the palmers firming cream and hope for the best! I still have the ability that if I wiggle my arms quick enough I can twist one direction whilst the rest goes in the other - gross really! I don't ever remember having small arms!

Yeah legs and arms have always been my problem areas. However I can see my legs taking a nice shape but some toning exercises will definitely be in order for me I think. Picked up a months worth of products today before the price increase lol. Ooh so many to choose from. What to have tonight, what to have

I think we all know that this and any other diet are only ones that you can do yourself so no matter how much you encourage your Mum she'll only do it when she it's ready or wants it enough. Keep up the encourage but always keep in mind you have your own goals and on your own journey

Hope you get to do some more baking soon!

Well there's some good news, she said that she'll lend me the money I will need to become a CWPC and then I will just pay back in products - win- win I'd say! Looks Like she has plans there!

Haha. My cwpc has been on hold the whole time so no idea if his prices are going up :-s

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Finding I'm quite hungry lately, keep eating my products earlier than normal! And the last two days not really felt like drinking either, usually I'm chucking the tea down! All very odd! Maybe it's another random hormonal thing. Oh well, as long as the scales keep going the right way I'm happy. Even if I am REALLY jealous that I can't have an Easter egg again! I think I must've been on a diet over Easter the last 3 years at least!!

Currently making some bread... For my dad, I'll ask him how it tastes!
