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)

Festively Fat

I really need to get on top of this folks. I am like the christmas turkey...getting fatter for christmas. Well Christmas has been and gone and now I have no excuse not to do something about my weight.

I think my friends have realised that my weight is out of control as I only got the two boxes of choccies this year :o)

I have decided that D-day is 5th January which is my first weigh in of the New year, however up until this point I am going to try and eat 3 meals a day, and if I do snack try and eat fruit.

As I commented back in November I am doing the shine half marathon for cancer research, something that is close to my heart as I have lost two colleagues from work in the past year and i have a friend battling with breast cancer currently. I am hoping to get a decent amount of sponsorship for cancer research whilst helping myself get fitter and healthier.

I have my weightwatchers friends with me to help me so I think I may just succeed this time. I am going to take it one day at a time, however my first major goal is my birthday in March...I would like to be a stone and a half lighter by then....


wish me luck...
