Monday 9th July 2007

Today is the day or yesterday was the day rather of the start of my new diet. After an eventful two weeks, trip to Beet Sugar Rally in France, camping on the side of a road on a industrial estate...dont ask!!!!! To having laryngitus and finding out this morning at the doctors that ive got a mild form of asthma, apart from that im fine, honest!
Back to the diet, im on a calorie controlled diet now and Donna could you please change my start weight to 222 please. I bought some new scales on saturday but didnt open them until yesterday morning and found out that you dont get batteries with them so i had to go buy some last night. Hence a new starting weight, im feeling positive as i weigh 4lbs lighter than my last weigh in at grrrr fat club, who cares that its a different set of weighing scales, in my head I AM 4LBS lighter than my last weigh in. But to make it fair i want my start weight changing to match my scales at home and then next Monday morning there will be another weigh in and im feeling good about it.

Yoyo Yoyo Yoyo

Up and down and then up and up and then maybe down again and then up.....Donna can you remove my pound again please i put on last night!
But ive packed in Slimming World for good.
Its my birthday on Monday...25 again but only for the second time and im in France this weekend at the Beet Sugar Rally so im not holding out much hope for any weight loss but bollocks to it, im going to have a good time.
Tuesday i will be investing in some scales and find my starting weight again, then i will go back to my calories controlled diet online at www.weightlossresources.co.uk as i think i need to be controlled.

I tried to go swimming today ...

I really did. On my walk to work this morning I took a small detour to get some new goggles (the old ones are letting water in and are so scratched I can barely see out of them). The sports shop I detoured to was closed! So I walked up to JJB Sports - a shop that really is a last resort - I FUCKING HATE THAT STORE!!! JJB wasn't open yet. It was 9:15am. Fuckers. So I gave up and having lost time faffing about, got the bus to work.

At work I went on yell.com to see what other sports stuff shops still exist in Ipswich. Yell said that there was one in the Buttermarket centre.

So. Lunchtime. Where in the Buttermarket? I don't fucking know. I had a look round then gave up, resigned to the fact that I'd have to give JJB my business. On the way to JJB I saw a shoe shop with a sale. It had a magnetic effect on me. I bought the cutest pair of sandals for £27 reduced from £55.

Then to JJB. It hadn't improved. I queued behind 5 other people while one person served. There were many customer service assistants milling about the store, but as I've been informed previously ... they are not till trained. Then a man in a suit came over, who I thought may have been the manager. But no, he was the security guard. Then another white-shirted woman went behind the tills, asked CSA 1 which till she was using, put some change in both tills, picked up a clipboard, then walked away. Grrrrrrr ... I did my very very best to remain calm, at least on the outside. When I eventually paid for my goggles I realised the time, realised I didn't have enough time left to go swimming and thought (you can stay calm, you don't need to be pissed off about this) "I'll just have a nice walk back to work. I'll listen to some music and walk. This will make me feel better." So I started my walk back to work. Then it started to rain.

I was already sad. I think it was just a misunderstanding between Andy and I, but it resulted in me getting the cold shoulder and Andy not sleeping and then a text msg or two. I was (and still am) trying to not let it get to me. I continued on in the rain. Then I was stopped by the Allotments Officer (that's not her exact title, but you get the picture). "Oh Donna, I need to speak to you. I think your fella's fallen out with the Field Secretary. There's been an altercation about digging up pathways and I'm told that your fella was F'ing and blinding at the Field Sec." Ah, okay then. I'll ask him about it when he's speaking to me again then. At this point I considered turning back to go to the pub. But then I remembered that I'm 2 lbs off 3 stone now. I'd already wimped out of swimming, I'm out for a few beers with a friend tonight and I really really want to lose that 2lbs this week. So I bit my bottom lip and returned to work!

My evil yet cunning and tasty plan worked

Over the course of the weekend i had a kfc, takeaway pizza with garlic bread and chips and also a meal including yet more chips. I also had a couple of vodkas on saturday and low and behold, weigh in last night - i lost 1/2lb, it was nearly a 1lb but her scales are a bit wonky (i find when i laugh on them i weigh lighter) Now you tell me how that works - see previous blog for my conclusion and this proves it. My fat club leader then said i had lost weight cos i had eaten more - but this might just be me but does pizza, chips, kfc, vodka consist of a healthy diet on which to lose weight??????

I put on a pound

I consider myself quite lucky, cos I consumed a large quantity of alcohol. This week I will have a low alcohol week, and eat healthily. I would like to lose 3 pounds so that I will have lost 3 stone in 6 months. That is my short-term target. Longer term it would be fabulous to lose the next 3 stone in another 6 months, but I'm not sure that's realistic. Any thoughts?
