S & S wedding weight lose diary

[Maka]

I'm not really sure Maka, I've never worked there but the word on the street here is that is its the up and coming place to be. I have visited a few times but mostly to watch my cousin bowling ( professional bowler).
What is Oman like for teaching, wages, package etc. My OH tells me as an ex pat would be paying tax ???

Oman is tax-free and the packages are good. But I've had a better offer in Qatar and am trying to decide. Qatar's hosting the next world cup so, yeah, they're on the way up. Mmmmm, decisions....decisions.... x

Hmm tricky... If I was going for lifestyle and scenery etc... I would definitely choose Oman but if the money was a priority then Qatar would be the place to go. But what a choice

Oh my gosh! Please go to sleep Kirst, it's 2.30am for goodness sake and you're up at 6.20am Grrr :-(

Feeling like dead woman walking this morning, managed to fall asleep around 3am and didn't hear my alarm - luckily my OH got me up. Making a concerted effort to up my water intake today as not been hitting the 3 litre mark and also peeing in the middle of the night which is disturbing my sleep. Now is the time to also start some form of excerise - if only to keep me awake! Enjoy the day ladies xx

Well the kids have all gone home and I have been busy replying to wedding rsvps and queries - so much organisation for one day!
A funny thing happened today - I started my period! - not meant to have one for nearly another month and currently taking my pill. Not sure if it will last or it is just an appearance...hmmm I know the diet can mess with your system but find it a little strange that it happened in week 7 rather than at the beginning. Not to worry I guess Glad the school day is over - been racing to the toilet all day - have drank 2.5l of water (time now 15.39) thats good for me - normally I have only drank about a litre.
Laying in bed last night I realised I had totally mis calculated my weightloss - I thought I needed to lose 3.5 stones to get to my goal weight - nope - it's 5 stone ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH and I'm meant to be a teacher lol still 2 down, 3 to go the cup is half full and all that. Ok so feel like I am rambling now so shall step away from the computer lolxxx

What a week! Thank goodness it's the weekend So a 4.6lb loss in 6 days is not bad at all - didn't get me out of the 200s but could I be any closer?!?! lol Have felt the need to up the exercise over the last few days as I feel exhausted and wondering if its because I am not doing anything after school or because of the lack of calories I am eating. I still find it amazing that I was eating around 2400 calories a day and now I am eating around 400 - 750 calories a day. My fat is seemedly melting away I also feel that I am re-educating myself about food. I never thought I would be a calorie and carb counter but I can really see the benefit and I am going to use it to my advantage to be able to eat the things I want to without risking gaining weight - portion control is also something I feel way more in control of too. The first diet I have done which has really allowed me to look into what my issues are and how to keep them in check. My fitness pal is an amazing tool and I used that last week to my advantage when I chose to go off plan for a few days.
I started Rosemary's 7 day slim down again today - and this time I really felt the effects which is what I was hoping for - I was also able to hold my left foot behind me which I haven't been able to do for about a year. So I am dead chuffed. Looking at my tickers I realise I am just over the half way mark and I feel really proud of myself for sticking with it. Next Fridays weigh in will also be 56 days of the diet so it is measure time and photo time - hope no-one will mind seeing before and 2 months on pictures of me in my underwear.

You're doing great Kirst! So close to the 100s, a couple of days and you should be there . Really close to getting under BMI 30 too which was another big thing for me, ie to no longer have the 'obese' label.

 

[Curvykirst]

Thanks BG I am starting to feel skinny lol

 

[TaraTeal]

I've had a lovely day today - the children were on form and the day went quick. The OH tuitions got cancelled so we spent some quality time together and then we went to Applebees, which I thought would be a nightmare but turned out to be fine. Having looked the nutrition for there over the last few days I knew it would be a problem. We are regulars at our local but haven't been since I started S n S. the girls noticed the weight loss straight away so when it came to ordering I just said to them what I really want is some grilled chicken, mushrooms and steamed broccoli - how happy was I to be told "no problem, we can do that" WAHEY!!! So happy I can now go out for dinner!! Smiling from ear to ear. I hope everyone else had had a good day too :-D
