pictures of me in my gym gear. just back from a run. got a lightweight jacket tied round my waist in case you think it looks a bit odd.

a picture from the spring/summer... different gear but you might see a difference, i don't know!

 

[leeds123]

nikki! hope you are feeling better. life is SO much harder when you feel depressed. it kinda takes over everything so hope you are feeling better. Your pics look AMAZING and i know i have said this before but if i looked like that i wouldnt bother with cd. you look toned and fit and THIN!



hope all is well, and await your next entry to know you feel better. and LOVE the dress.

been busy today. after my run 2.6 miles in 26 mins, i went off shopping with hubby. then popped round my mum's with the kids and then did the tea for the kids. i love my new running gear, totally fab. i always get excited if i've bought new gym gear to go out running or working out in it.

i've drank so much water today that i've actually lost count. i was out shopping from 11am and don't have a tetra or a bar to take so just had a coffee whilst hubby and kids ate. it was 2pm before i got my soup and my breath was fowl. it gets worse the less you have in your body. just had my tea and have yet to have another shake.

i can remember having the following....

1 x pint of water before my run and
1 coffee before my run.
1 x pint of water after my run and
1 x shake

then we went out and i think i had the following.

1 coffee
1 pint of water
1 pint of water


came back and

1 x soup
1 x coffee
1 x pint of water
1 x pint of water
1 x veg flavouring
1 x pint of water
1 x quorn tea
1 x coffee
1 x pint of water
1 x shake.

weigh day tomorrow and i'm not sure how i've done. a couple of pounds off i think. would like to think that i've lost 4lbs at least but i doubt it.

 

[Surfhunny]

Good luck for tomorrows wi, i'll check back in tomorrow to find out how you've done, I'm sure you'll be fab! x

 

[great things]

Well I lost 2.5lbs I know I should be happy but I really wanted at least a 3! I suppose being on the 810 that's not a bad loss.

 

[leeds123]

wow thats a fab loss, esp for 810. what weight are you now ?

 

[great things]

I'm 12st 3lbs now. Trying to get back to the 11st range now. Thinking between 11st and 11st 7lbs would be good. CDC thinks 10st 7lbs would be too low. Says I've got big bones and look smaller size wise than I am!

Re: nikki's diary - my rollercoaster ride

Well done nikki, that's great. Sounds like a sensible target. Xx

What a day. Car went back to hire company and the BMW garage has given us one of their cars to use. Still no closer to finding out what's gone wrong. The machine/computer tests are saying all's well yet it keeps cutting out on them too. Too dangerous to use til it's fixed really.

Exercise today:-
4 mile run 460 cals burnt
10 mins interval training on the stairclimber 110 cals burnt
10 mins on the bike fast - 100 cals burnt
5 mins cross trainer 50 cals
Total is 720

Didn't get my 2nd shake til gone 3.30 today just been far too busy!

it's a blah, blah, day. feel really down. ems is in nursery and last year it was a different head and the deputy head ran nursery. the school nursery did a nativity play. this year, no nativity play. we've a new head and a different nursery teacher. to say that i'm gutted is an understatement. reception are doing a nativity, the same children that did one in nursery last year. ever other one of ems friends in other schools is doing a nativity in nursery. i just can't believe it! they say that they're too young. i feel that i've lost out. if she moves schools next year then there's no chance that i'll ever get to see her in a nativity play, one of the most important parts of nursery education. i'm also talking about a church school. a C of E school! FFS!!!!!!

i'm off to see the head tomorrow. i just think it's unfair, unjust and i'm ever so sad. i will never get this with her again.

 

[great things]

ems has a sickness bug. she's been up all night throwing up and has spent the day moaning and groaning. hope it stops soon, it's not pleasant to see her throwing up. so an exercise free day however i'm so shattered i wouldn't be able to have the energy to do any.

the snow has also hit us, looks beautiful but not for going our in. i certainly won't be running in it so it could be just 1 run this week and only 1 workout day but as i'm still on the 810 plan a lack of exercise this week won't do anything to my weight loss or reduce my fitness at all.

so tired i've got some insomnia at the min so not sleeping great. so tired last night when it all kicked off that i was shaking and couldn't get to sleep.

saw the head today and she promises me that the carols will represent the christian side of christmas.

 

[great things]

ems is all better now, back to her usually self. just hoping that little dude doesn't get it. been to docs today dude's got some stuff to make him go and i've got some tablets.

just wish it would stop snowing. hate it!

been to the cinema tonight to see the new harry potter movie. was good. very long and dark. took my last (out of 2) bars and had some water with it and a naughty coke zero.

 

[great things]

everything's really slow on here and FB tonight. i've done what i need to do so got nothing else to do. guess i'll be watching walking dead early and then go to bed early. still have 1 shake left but i feel extra full tonight. had a sore tummy earlier and hope that this is not the start of feeling ill.

had the heating on all day and i'm still a bit cold.

right off to have my last shake and to shake my hubby's leg to come through, off his computer, and get the tv on!

p.s. have just become a member of the bupa GNR as i finished it this year, lol. so i've got a place for the half marathon 2011! superb news.

 

[leeds123]

good news on the GNR!!

my kids were poorly too this week, and being up for them in the night with my own insomnia cos of stress has made this week bad. lide is hard right now. i'm sad you seem down nikki, hope things get better. youve been through so much this year that maybe its all catching up with you??? take care girl.

 

[great things]

thanks leeds. just taking it day by day in my life. diet's flowing on, it always does. it's one of the things that i can control in my life and therefore i always manage to stick to it as i like to be or feel in control of my life even if most of it is going out of the window.

 

[great things]

well i've had a right sort out day. cleaned the house this morning and re-organised some of the furniture. i think cause there was too much snow for running i took my energy out elsewhere. played out in the snow with the kids. ems wanted me to build a snowman but the snow was powdery and you couldn't even make a ball. i've also misplaced my welly boots so borrowed hubby's dog walking shoes and they just weren't up to the job.

this pm after putting the kids to bed i decided to try on some clothes. so have had an epic sort out. things that are summery and need to go in the loft til summer and things that i can wear now and things that i do not want anymore.

so far i've amazed myself in that....

• i got on, and did up and looked good in a size 12 skirt from oasis.
• i tried on a size 14 skirt that looked bad.
• i tried on a size 14 dress that looked ok
• also one that looked like it needed taking in.
• i tried on some size 14 trousers from principles and they fit perfectly at this time of night too with millions of gallons of water in me.
• i tried on some size 16 jeans from next only to be cut up the jacksy.
• i got into and looked fab in some size 16 jeans from per una
• i got into some size 14 tops and they looked bad
• i got into a size 12 top and it looked great.
• my size 16 monsoon dress is fitting better than it did last week but is still large on the waist and hips
• i found an XL chinese dress that i bought ages ago that is around a size 12/14 and it looks amazing but it could also do with being took in around the waist too.

so all in all an interesting day.

weigh day and 4lbs off. very pleased with this. i've hardly done any exercise at all this week too due to ems being ill, then hubby and then all this snow.

 

[Surfhunny]

Well done for that loss! It's 4.19am here and I'm wide awake, my body clock is just all over the place, to make matters worse I have a horrible feeling I may have caught my friends cold sore, she's got one at the moment and we got our drinks mixed up last night but it wasn't until after I taken a drink I remembered, now my lip is tingling, not sure if it's cold sore coming on or just because my lips are dry, I'm praying it's the dry lips because I've never had cold sore before and would hate to catch them now! Ah well thinking positive that it's not!
