Essay demons



Today I have started on fast start. The food has been great and really tasty.
The only prblem is I have essay crisis and this is when I get the nibblies... I am chopping up veg and stuff so I have no point options but the draw of choc from the corner shop is so strong....what with that and the diet coke calling and I keep thinking to myself it is bad for my health to drink diet coke......arrrrggghhhh demons :o)

I keep staring at a blank page thinking gtime is running out but I just can't get my bottom in gear and keep dreaming of chocolate lol.

Anyway I have managed to be good. The photo above is from the trip Keith and I took to london at the weekend, we went to see Sister act :o) it was great, but my weight increase meant that my knees were killing me by the end of the day (we left at 5am and we got home at 10pm!!! so bonus points there then). Keith is being really supportive of my decision to lose weight again.

Well best get back to the essay not writing itself. :o)

I want it to be Tuesday......


I can't believe I am actually saying this....I want it to be weigh in day. I really feel ready to do this. I have been chatting with my weight watchers boards support network, the gurus of weightloss and we all feel like 2010 is our year.

I really want to be prepared so I am reading my weightwatchers file tonight and I am going to get Keith to help me devise a menu plan for next week so I can go shopping when we get back from my parents house this weekend. Today, although I have not been counting my points (I have no scales and no idea how much I officially weigh so waiting until tuesday) I have stuck to healthy principles, I had breakfast and lunch and I have eaten satsumas (yummy loose ones from sainsburys), I even have some braising steak in the slow cooker simmering ready for when Keith arrives. I know I know small baby steps but at least they are baby steps in the right direction.

I have also got my diary to sort, along with the letter thanking me for joining 'shine marathon' there was a training plan which I need to start on Monday....and for people not used to exercise and planning to stroll rather than stride the first day is 3 miles walking...OMG I may just die(the letter itself gave me palpitations).....well thats me off to the gym monday wish me luck folks....maybe just maybe if I screw my eyes up tight enough I may just manage to make my weight loss wish come true.

Good luck all of you :o)
