Electric Lilac's diary

i also find my "brisk" walk in between is not so much brisk as OMFG i think i'm going to die lol
 
You have both got me thinking that I'm going to give this a go. I have a pathological fear of the treadmill at the gym but I've downloaded the app for my phone and I'm going to give it a go. Just need to get my shifts sorted out so I can make my plan for starting but i think I'm going to try. Wow. Never thought in a million years I'd even think about running!!
 
Brilliant another convert, you will surprise yourself Pamdev trust me.

Its worth downloading the NHS c25K podcasts before you start (i only found them on my third run and wish i had had them from the start) they talk you though what you need to do on each run and play music etc and best of all they are free...

how is it going in your world, feel like i haven't spoken to you for a while, sorry about that x
 
I'll make sure I download that. Thanks for the info.

Everything finally seems to be back on an even footing. I was totally thrown with a change in my working pattern. I know I only have myself to blame for picking on things but I found the past week particularly difficult as i was home with the kids all week for the first time since starting the diet. So decided yesterday I can carry on as I was last week and waste £36 per week or I can get back into it and finish what I started. Then this morning I tried on a size 14 top than I haven't worn for years and in actually thought hey I look pretty damn fine in this!! So now I want to be a 12 and that's what I'm going to be lol!!

The picture is my current fav of Faye, my 2 year old. She loves dressing up and put this look together herself. I can almost see into the future and see her ready for T in the park in a few years! I really need to get one with myself and the 2 kids but I am still awful at getting my picture taken.

It's lovely to have you back, I always miss you when you are quiet. And I am so proud of you and Dee going for the c25k challenge. Well done!!
 
Faye is beautiful, she must take after her mum, and might i say a natty little dresser love it
 
Update... As of this morning i have lost 7stone exactly, Hurrah!!

I am 2lbs away from from 100lbs lost.
I am 8lbs away from being in the "healthy" BMI bracket.
I am 9lbs away from being in the 10 stones.

Grinning from ear to ear i was lol. Dreams come true on this diet Trueleame just keep plodding along, keep trying, keep reminding yourself why you are doing it, celebrate all your successes no matter how small you think they are and soon enough you will be buying a size 12 and have the same stupid grin on your face as i did last night. I'm so looking forward to your posts when that happens, because it will happen x
 
Wow!!

I just read your diary and see what you have achieved! It's totally amazing and definitely inspiring!

I have my 30th birthday trip to Vancouver in 20weeks. Let's see what I can achieve! Hopefully it's at least 3.5stones! 50lbs!!

Fingers crossed!!
