TO FOLLOW....

So today... I went out!! On a little jolly with my mum!! :)  We went to a place near Windsor... to meet the Simple Product team!  I was one of the VIP people that got to meet them to discuss their products.  It was really interesting, they asked loads of questions to me and my mum about what products we used and our routines.  They paid our expenses and because we gave our time up to go chat with them, we are getting a 'parcel' in the post in about 2 weeks time from them! Ooooh exciting!!! :) 

That is why the 'different' food!! I did and was very aware of what I should eat, when your limited it is hard to make 'good' food choices... I think I did OK?!  I still have dinner... not eaten yet as just picked up Han from the college as she is back from Disney now and had a GREAT time!!  And now we are off to Tesco food shopping!  So a healthy option for dinner me thinks!

Later....

It is 50 days today that I decided to change my life!  So far the journey has been a little bumpy... nothing to bad though.  I am still here, changing and learning to change my eating habits to live healthier.  And 'live' is the key word here!! It has actually flown by and to be honest I am enjoying it! :)

Dinner...

Breast chicken with roasted carrots, parsnips and peas!  Love this... :)

So that is it!  Been busy again doing Open University work, well OK after I came back from the bingo!  That was a spur of the moment thing to break up the day, and to get my other half Jon out... he does not go out much due to the amount of pain he is in with his back.  So it was nice to go out.

I have an assignment due in around the middle of the month... need to study!!   And with Han in France at Disney the house is quiet with no distractions! :(

Been a rather odd food day today, not felt hungry today so all I have eated I have literally had to force myself to eat.  I have tried to stick to the meals with the snacks, but today has been really hard.  I dont know why I am not hungry today?  Odd like I say!

I am still on a high from last night when I was told how many inches I had lost!  I hope this feeling does not go!  And now that I am on the new scales... I can concentrate on making my numbers lower!  Apparently its a more accurate figure and also can calculate BMI... interesting!  Well when I went to see the GP before Christmas about my weight my BMI was 52!  So I hope its come down!?  Incidently the GP was not at all interested in helping me lose weight.. they never are.  So hence why I go to The Weight Loss Guys!

Han is off to Disney tonight with her college.  I have to drop her at the college at 11pm tonight, they are going via the euroshuttle and have been told they will arrive in Paris Disney  in the early hours of Sunday morning.  The reason for her trip is a media conference... what a place to have it!! And naturally they get fast track and early tickets to the park the whole time they are there! I said its just a jolly! :)  Hmm wonder if I get a pressie?  :)

So the house will be quiet for a few days :(  I guess I will have to feed Jon what I would normally give Han!  Hmmm Jon does not actually eat what we do... he is not into veg!  Hmmm the next few days he will be!! ha ha ha  I think he will be pleased when Han comes back!

Drink... hmmm as for the drinking... I am drinking more, but still not enough :(  More, more, more!!! 

Day 48...

(Borrowed from Google Images)

Today is an interesting day as I have another exercise class but before all that I am getting measured and weighed.  Now this fills me with utter dread!  Seriously... I have been eating healthy, exercising but there is and I guess will always be fear and dred in me at the weigh and measure time.... what if I dont lose anything?  What if, what if, what if... I know I should not think like this, cannot seem to help it though.  So until I go this evening I will submerging myself into my Open University work hoping it takes my mind off it!

What I ate today... Friday 01st March 2013

Breakfast...

Scrambled eggs with quartered mushrooms.

Snack...

2 hard boiled eggs.

Lunch...

Mussels in a thai sauce.  (very filling.. was going to have salad with it, pleased I did not!)

Snack...

A few nuts (same as what I had the other day!)

Dinner...

Roasted sweet potato's, carrots, broccoli, cherry tomato's and green beans.  With Salmon and a chilli topping. (yes started eating then realised I need to take a photo!)

So went to The Weight Loss Guys exercise session this evening and LOVED it!! I sweat something cronic this evening!  And I beat my personal best in skipping!  I skipped 15 skipps in one go!  No some of you may think..no big deal!  I assure you this is major!  

And some other GREAT news!!! Got weighed and measured this evening too.  I am very pleased with my results so far... the switch over to the new scales was this evening, I was weighed on the new ones.  No issue with the scales, that is my weight... I am moving on... onwards and upwards!  I actally stayed the same (on the new scales!) 21 stone and 13 pounds!  In a way I am really pleased with as when we were calibrating the scales there was a difference of a few pounds!  So it appears I have worked hard to stay the same!!  No doubt if I were to step on the old scales I would show a great loss!  hmmm And a whopping 19 inches off my body!! I am thrilled!! I can just about see it in some of the clothes I wear, but I wear tents so will not really notice it yet! lol

I spoke with the guys after and apparently I am no way drinking enough water or fluisd still! OMG!! I really dislike drinking water... I think back and I remember drinking 2 litre bottles of Pepsi Max with no bother!  So why can I not drink water or slightly flavoured water?  So now I am on a mission to drink more!! I am going to make a chart and fill it in every day!  One of my exercise bottles is half a litre and I need to drink 4 of them per day!! OMG!! Not even managing one at the moment!!  :(  OK I am on it!! Tomorrow is a new day!! :)
