cathies diary

[cathiec]

i have not been a member long and have just been meandering through other peoples posts answering and joining in where and when, but today i have decided to start a diary. new to this, really not done it before but if it helps me in any way and helps anyone else along the way that is just a bonus

i am mother of the bride in april!!!!!!

first thinks "me feel very old!!"

then thinks "me too fat for wedding photos!!" (which,lets face it , will be around a few years haunting me if i dont do something about it)

so my plan is slimming world and exercise.
which i can do when i put my mind to it
i just find it hard sticking to it lately

i had lost 13 and 1/2 pound before xmas but put 11 back on, now i seem stuck in xmas mode and cant seem to shake it off.
so here goes

well another day is nearly over and i have been good, so thats 4 days in a row. no alcohol and stuck to the plan

i do feel quite good actully despite having a bit of a wobble earlier this eve.
i took my grandaughter home, she sleeps every week, and her mum, my ex daughter in law, said i can only have her every other week from now on.

we are very close so i feel abit gutted. but i suppose ill just have to get used to it. really felt like calling at the shop on my way home for wine and chocs, but i didnt so early to bed with choc options instead!!

so on to bed

good morning diary

well i went to weigh in and i had lost a pound. see never weigh yourself. throw the scales away! icould of been disappointed but my monthly arrived when i got up so i feel ok:jelous:

gonna do my 30 day shred before work. my friend at class said i should measure myself and see if this 30 day shred makes any difference to my waist line. so i think i will.

had a laugh a class, in a moment of weakness someone had fryed a cheese sarni!! they had sts and that was why

there is a new hifi bar coming out but no news of the syn free cranberry juice,

got to go and shred

bye for now

 

[cathiec]

good evening

just finished a 9 hour shift. dont know if i should or need to do my shred dvd cos i ache all over!!

had fish pie in works canteen for my dinner but i was starvin marvin and they had run out of jackets

but ive got 6 days to wi must focus on that and stick to the plan!!!

had chicken and pasta for my tea when i got in so thats ok. must do the shred i think, will take some ibuprofen first

bye for now

 

[cathiec]

took a nose dive last night!! bottle of red wine, 2 pks of crisps and mini hummous.

can't believe i did it

but being so cross with myself should help me for the rest of the week.:break_diet:
it did last week :break_diet:

i wonder all the time how much i could lose if i stuck to the plan aaalllll week.
im gonna do it one of these days!!

 

[cathiec]

right just signed up for race for life with my sister

thats a positive move lol

gonna do 30 day shred when i get my granddaughter evie in her high chair for her lunch

she is being v. bad today, keeps going in the kitchen and putting my oven on
little minx!! but she does keep me running around

see you later

 

[cathiec]

well i haven't done my diary for 2 days

why not? i'll tell you why not cos i fell off
big style and now i feel baaaad!!

i was more in control last week than this, maybe its because my monthly came, i dont know.
i've been ok 2day so far and sun and mon are usually easy for my as the wi is not far away.

i need to be good on a tues and wed cos thats wots letting me down. and when i get to the weekend its just sooo tempting to be bad.
i am gonna try this week, no alcohol or treats till friday (i've heard this all before you know)
but the wedding is in 11 weeks and i neeed to frame myself

night all

 

[cathiec]

dear diary
god i feel rough, had a tummy bug just when im starting with a chest infection.

so i havent done my shred dvd since sun afternoon and i didnt eat anything yesterday.

so a lucky escape me thinks cos i really was baaad last week

bye for now

 

[cathiec]

good morning diary,

feel alot better today

just filled my slow cooker with a stew for tea (bought slow cooker after reading about them on minimins)

next i im gonna do my 30 day shred dvd (bought after reading about it on minimins)

i think this website has helped me alot, i think i was getting a bit board of dieting, doing the same things all the time. maybe thats a good hint, make a few changes now and then, helps i am sure

off to shred!!!

Hope you don't mind me popping in to say hello :wavey:

I think you are doing really well. You can obviously do this as you lost weight before Xmas. Also it was * week this week so to lose 1.5lbs is absolutely fab :happy096:

Hi cathiec, sounds as if youre doing OK. Sorry to hear about not seeing your little granddaughter so much, I am a nanny too and I understand how you must feel. However, keep to the slimming plan and you will get there! You had a good loss, keep going and you will look great for the wedding

 

[cathiec]

you are very welcome to read my diary

thankyou for your comments

i know that people are sometimes looking at my dairy but when people actually care enough to comment ahh that is a good feeling.

its wot this web site is all about init??!!

thanx cathie Xxx

 

[sammi.g]

keep going cathie, once you get you head into starting you will, sometimes it just strikes you one morning & you will be determined, i know myself until that lightening bolt happens it's not going to happen. once i decided id hit rock bottom (weightwise) i cracked on & lost 2 st in my 1st 3months then anothe stone over the next two months, so it can be done.
however ........ i stopped going to class in september & old habits crept back ive put 2stone back on but were all human & im back on sw again as i have a holiday on june 1, last year i even lost 4lbs on a two wk holiday to turkey, so if you want badly enough to be slim for the wedding it can be done good luck & keep up with the diary, im sure it will help keep you on track x
