Hi Guys!, can I come back? he he.
I'm so sorry, know I've been AWOL again - and thank you all so much for keeping a check on me. I really appreciate it xxxxx
Ok girls, brace yourselves - gonna be another loooonnnng one....
Ooooh have not being good at all!!! don't know where it went - I was an angel for so, so long but continued to find it more and more difficult - I was very good Mon - Fri but on the weekends, it all went out the window, then that progressed to being bad ALL week, always finding an excuse to get back on track "tomorrow" but did that happen? nope! I slowly started to progress back to the former me in regards eating - this is something I thought would never, ever happen after being a year on ww, that my relationship with food and my awareness had completely changed ... hmm.. just showed me how easy it is to slip back to the old ways...
I went on my cousins hen night, had a ball, went to London with OH for 2 nights was great.. but ate what I felt like
So... when I was last here I weighed 11 stone 4lb... The Monday before last I weighed 12 stone 1lb

BUT on a nicer note - I found my "mojo"

again and as of Monday gone by am now 11 stone 10lbs.
Was so annoyed because I was a meer TEN POUNDS away from goal but now have pushed myself back to being 22 lbs away.. I still really want to be 10 and a half stone.
Can anyone remember that 12 week health challenge I was doing through work? well, I had to face the humiliation of emailing and telling the coordinator of that that I had managed to PUT ON 12lbs since I started the challenge (and since she had weighed me) ...
I made it an 8 week challenge (as thats all I had left), with 22lbs to loose in 8weeks (hmm.. unrealistic me thinks) -
Ok, I don't agree with setting time frames as a rule but I actually HAVE TO, the reason being - I have to go back to that girl at the end of the challenge to be weighed etc.. - I weighed 11.4 when she first did it, I cannot face weighing the same or more when I go back - I really want to do well.
2nd reason is a couple days after the challenge ends, I have my last dress fitting for alterations. It has to fit the way I wanted it too - I started this diet with that in mind and If I dont succeed Ill feel like I've failed, regardless of what I've lost to date.
Anyway, I didnt think I could do the 22lbs in 8 weeks BUT I did kickstart last week and REALLY upped the exercise and managed to loose 5lbs (woo hoo!) so I now have 17lb to loose in 7 weeks (Im walking miles each eve)- I know it may be a push but I think (I hope!!) it is possible.
Please wish me luck xx
The house is coming on... we're getting really excited. Imagine - we've been building for a year now.
All the floors, skirting boards and door are on upstairs (and its all painted!!!) and the radiators are hung - it really looks like a "house" upstairs (if you know what I mean) but the bathroom and ensuite have to be tiled yet and all the baths showers etc.. need to be fitted
Downstairs has alot more to be done to it yet - no floors or anything down but I think the tiling will be starting next week. I've ordered my stairs which Im expecting in about 3 weeks and my kitchen. Should start to really take shape then.
The gardens and outside are a tip - rubbish, blocks, cement, wood EVERYWHERE, we have to get a digger in to clear it all up and level it. The gardens are way to huge - dont know what I'm going to do with them.
Wedding plans are coming along well - I still have alot to do - all the major things are booked and fairly organised but I never realised all the little, bitty things that need doing.
I have'nt been feeling very well - my fainting and dizzy spells became worse - resulting in around 8 or 9 "spells" a week.
I have been speaking to my GP about it, who referred me to a specialist, I seen him last week and he diagnosed me with Epilepsy. Was the last thing on earth I expected him to say - I thought it was just down to a bit of stress with all going on this year so it shook me a bit. I have to go for an MRI and EKG to confirm it (although Specialist said he's positive enough to start medicating me immediately) yet so please pray its a false alarm girls and just something minor xxxx
I've caught up on some of the diaries and you're all doing fantastically well. Loads of new members too!! how lovely!!! xx
Hope you're all well xx
(you awake?)
