Lea's Weight Loss Journey - Cannot believe WI today...

[Gemma1986]

Hiya Lea,
How are things going for you with the office being built at home? Sorry i havent been writing in your diary for a bit. Have agreat week x

I think its hard too when you get to a milestone...like getting into the 10s or 11s or whatever, you will get there tho, you just shook your metabolism up a bit...all good!

Hi Lea - its coming down slowly and surely. If you lose 2oz per week, it will only be 3 more weeks till the half pound is gone more or less - and then bingo! the golden 10st mark.....

If you are happy where you are - and you want to maintain at this level, then you are doing really well at getting to grips with how much you can or can't eat to stay at this target weight.

It is a weird thing - I know I was manic trying to get to my goal and hovering around it for ages - then when I hit it, it seemed to become almost irrelevant overnight and I am happy to hover around it staying within my range.

hope the house is looking fab. xx

Thanks so much everyone. You have made me put things into perspective! It's just really bugging me. I FEEL like this is it...this is the best it is going to get....and I have 0 motivation to even shift the final little bit. I am trying really hard but not hard enough.

Our decorating is going well. By the end of the day I think the office s virtually done. The carpet goes down tomorrow hopefully. We have done it yellow and white. A nice happy colour for a nice stressful job. I wonder if it will help? I do love the room though. Such a good idea and money well spent

I have started undercoating Cora's room (all her skirting boards and window frame etc are dark varnish. I want them white). I plan on doing the 3rd undercoat today and then it is ready for the gloss. I need to pull the blind down and do 2-3 coats on her window frame. We will be puting the white up on the walls this week first and then the pink! I am so excited about that. I ordered her bedding and curtains etc last night. Hopefully by next weekend we will be there or thereabouts done in her room too Very exciting

Poor DH has got another very busy day ahead of him as he has to have the office virtually finished by tonight. He has two coats of white to do on the walls, one coat of yellow, satin coat the door and prime the window. Not much then lol

So exciting though

Hi all. Sorry I have been AWOL but we have been busy painting and moving in etc. Been a really busy week

The office is now done and we have moved in I LOVE it It is so peaceful out there and I feel happier knowing work is not part of my house. It's great! Cora's room is coming on. We have done 2 coats of white - green is hard to cover! i think it will need another coat of white and then we will add the pink. We are not far from being done in there now too So excited.

Food wise I have been really good this week. I have not over eaten at all and done lots of activity. However, I am so bloated all the time at the moment. I am not going to the toilet very often (about twice a week - sorry if tmi!) so i feel huge. I don't think I will have lost any tomorrow again Another week...another week not at goal Maybe I will wake up feeling 'thin'. That would be nice!

Suz - lovely to have you back. So glad you are back to it again. You can do it and I am following you all the way. Good luck for tomorrow.

Karen, thank you! I can't believe it is so close to the big day. I will be thinking of you! Loads of luck and have a wonderful day xxx

Anna - thank you. You are doing brilliantly. Well done x

Jane - how is the decoratign going?

[mrsm2007]

sounds all exciting with it all being nearly done - i agree home is no place for work, id never get anything done lol

[blackwidow]

hey Lea, try benefiber for your bloating - its tasteless and you mix it into drinks, yoghurts, soups.. whatever you like.. works wonders xxx

 

[lea8198]

Thanks Rach! I need something! Still bloated....

A STS this week. I am ok with that but annoyed as I had a good week, did lots of DIY and still did not lose! I think I need benefiber, water and less carbs next week....

Had a bad day today though :/ Opppps!

 

[IreneH]

But tomorrow needn't be a bad day so good luck with your new day
