Nikkis diary

Hi everyone!!

Such a day, had an early meeting this morn so was in work at 8.30 (up at 7) the meeting dragged on and on so I missed my usual little breakfast with the girls and by 1 oclock I hadnt eaten a thing and was stttaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrvvvvvvvvviiing!!!!!!!!

To make matters worse, had LOADS to do in work so took a very, very short lunch break and (for a change :D) flew through the drive through at McDonalds. so I had only used 3.5 points from 7 oclock in the morning till quarter past 6 this eve. Not good and definately not advisable!! anyway I definately made up for it - your going to laugh when you read how much food I managed to put away!! :D

so.... today... countless cups of black coffee with sweetner,

6 chicken nuggets at McDonalds 3.5

when I came home (lol!!!) :
2 sausages 4
FIVE large rasher medallions 2.5
2 fried eggs 3
2 slices brown bread 2
tomatoe ketchup 1
a WHOLE carton of mushrooms (fried) 0
an onion (fried) 0
(all fried in 1cal spray)

I then had (wait for it....:D) a crunchie!!!!!!!! lol! 3.5

Oh and drank 3 litres of water...

19.5 pts used, 1 paid back (woo hoo!! all paid back now!!) and 0.5 saved!

So, how are you all keeping?

(Starlight, Im so dozey... wheres the sub forum???, thanks pet)
 
Sub forum isnt up and running yet Nikki. Mini has okayed it and will get Pierce to sort it for us. Everyone has just started doing diary threads which will get moved once the new sub forum starts :)
 
oh sorry! (you'd think I would have copped that!!) thanks pet x
 
Weigh in in the morning, and Im really really hoping for a 2lb loss as that'll leave me with exactly a stone and a half to go. ah, I know its not the end of world if I dont, but it would be lovely - sort of like hitting another milestone...

Fingers crossed!!.

Cannot actually believe I have "one stone something" to loose now - had never imagined saying that!!!

Am still sort of freaking about not loosing the remainding wait before July but the lovely Marie did put me at ease over it.

Its funny, isnt it - all the different feelings you experience when going through the little journey (God, I sound sooo corny!!!)

I have to admit to getting a bit impatient at this stage - just cant wait to be at goal (as everyone is) - not impatient in the respect that I would ever get fed up and fall off the wagon, but impatient/ excited - if you know what I mean. So excited to start my life, a normal weight, no longer feeling that people are laughing/ looking at me, talking about me, nothing fitting me, self consciousness etc.. I just cant wait!!!!!!!!

I suppose I feel that my life, as lucky and blessed as I already am, is really going to start when I hit goal!, is that completely self obsessed?

Please cross your fingers for a 2 lb loss for me!. xx

The best of luck to all the Tuesday weighers!! x
 
Thanks a million Starlight, will definately let you know how it goes.

The way your going girl, you'll be there in no time!! and no one deserves it more!!

Will talk to you tomorrow,

Nite xxx
 
Thanks a mill Andi and Paula!! x

Well, I lost 2lbs!!!!!! :bliss::bliss:
exactly what I wanted!! woo hoo!

I know officially have 1 and a half stone to go!.

I also noticed on my ticker, that I had myself a pound heavier than I actually am - I think I forgot to update that from the the lb I lost at Christmas!!.

Best of luck to all the Tuesday weighers!!
 
well done on the 2lbs Nikki, just what you wanted.
i see your goal is your wedding in August or dress fitting in July & you feel uneasy about getting to target, well i have just set my self a challenge, 39lbs in 26 weeks, which brings me to July 8th (day b4 my birthday) your welcome to join in my challenge if you like ( i know you don't have 39lbs to lose) but if it helps you ?

Well done on your 2lb loss Nikki..... just 21lbs away from goal.. That's amazing!
 
:thankyou: so much!!!

Hows everyone?

Ive already put this in our 26 week challenge thread but wanted in my own diary too, to look back on.....

So, completely inspired by this and as an extra push to achieve my 26 week challenge, I made a 17 week challenge with the girls in the office (to incorporate into my 26 week one)

The reasoning for the 17 weeks is because, Laura (one of the girls) is jetting off to Florida the first week of June and had been saying to me she wants to be bikini ready (she is tiny! - a size 8-10, would be so health conscious but reeeaally wants to tone up here tummy for her own confidence)

Anyway, this is what I planned with the girls incase you may or may not want to try it....

I put up an extra calender and gave each girl a set of coloured stickers (there is only 3 of us too!!) obviously each colour represents a girl (im blue for instance)

So, (im probably not explaining this very well at all!!) we have decided that we all have to exercise four days a week, for a minimum of 30 mins.

The exercise can be anything... a walk, (laura does yoga on Mondays, so that'll be one of hers for e.g), 30 mins on an exercise machine at home (which we all have) or I have a Davina box set (never opened :D) there is 3 dvds in it so Im going to distribute between the 3 of us and we're going to alternate the dvds once a forthnight (to save boredom setting in)

As an extra incentive, Im collecting €2 off each of us every Friday, putting in a little tin I have in my desk.

Every day that we do exercise we put our coloured sticker on the calender for that day.

At the end of the 17 weeks whoever has the most stickers on the calender gets all the Money in the kitty to treat themselves with.

If two have the same amount of stickers, we'll split it and if 3 do well we'll split it 3 ways and look on it as a good way of saving.

Ive said to the girls to set mini goals on a 4 week basis for themselves, privately - be it to loose pounds, inches, tone or to increase their fitness levels - its theyre business but may help motivation wise.

Myself and Laura are also thinking of starting a class - pilates or boxercise - we're looking into it at the min..

So what do you think?

Im a great one for starting to exercise, do great for a week but then the novalty wears off for another few months. I think this might give me a boot up the bum. Plus Im soooo competative!!!



So, have been good so far this week, have managed to save 8.5 points which Im going to use to have my beloved Dominos pizza and 2 garlic and herb dips tomorrow night - I only needed about 6 or 7 to make it up with what Im planning on eating during the day tomorrow so the 8.5 will definately cover it - woo hoo!!

Plan is to get a good dvd, takeaway, big fire and curl up on the couch - cant wait!! (how sad am I) but Its a lovely way to wind down the busy week.

Im going shopping with my Mother Saturday to Debenhams in Newbridge to try get a flower girl dress for Shannon, I know its very early but my mam seen them last week and said they are gorgeous - and better again are on sale with it being January!!!! (at about half of what I expected and had budgeted to pay) so now is the time to pick one up!! - I plan to buy it at around age 3 (shannon will be 3 two months after the wedding) so I think it'll be fine and anyway, alterations will sort any misfitting out!! (my aunt is a genius on a sewing machine!) Im going to bring a pic of my own dress to match the colour and am then just going to get a sash made, the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses to tie around her little waist.

Im sure its ok to get it now, isnt it? - just trying to save money wherever possible.

I had such a lovely night with Shannon tonight, we ran around the house like a pair of lunatics - her daddy put on a cd and the 3 of us danced like crazy for an hour!! (realised after that the curtains were open, you wouldnt see Shannon as shes too small from outside so the neighbours could be sending the men in white coats to pick up myself and himself later! :D) we played hide and go seek where myself and Shannon hid in the bottom of the wardrobe - OH couldnt find us for ages and now my bum is killing me!! after that we just messed and messed and laughed - my throat is killing me from screaming and laughing!! :D

Shannons going to have "quality time" (lol) with her daddy on Saturday morning while we're shopping. I think they are planning a trip to Belvedere Gardens - theres a park, a big woodland walk, donkeys, a lake etc.. she loves it down there.

Oops... have just realised how long this post is!! sorry for boring you to tears!! xx

Hope you are all well!

Zzzz...hahahaha, just kidding! I love your long posts!! - especially that one! - you sound so happy!!! It's SO nice!

And I'm so jealous - if I tried to hide in our wardrobe I would be found for sure - the clue would be in the wardrobe door being part open and my fat arse hanging out of it!! Wish I could squeeze into it though (never thought I'd be wishing I could squeeze into a wardrobe - skinny jeans, yeah, but a wardrobe?! Haha
