Oh poo ...

After pinning all my hopes on my new bike, I've found I'm suffering from handlebar palsy. I've been back to the bike shop at lunch time and had my handlebars adjusted and I've turned on the front suspension on the bike. I really hope it works. I'd put on a pound at WW this week. I think it was probably the week before when I didn't go cos I'd been so bad. I'm doing better this week, but still haven't really embraced the diet like I did at the start.

Thankfully the vending machine is out of order as I have a very very strong desire for some chocolate.

And my wrists ache. A lot. :(

Time for a new start ...

The first part of last year I lost 3 stone. Having faffed around since July 07 going up a pound, down a pound, I am now determined to get back on it. I took receipt of my new pushbike on Tuesday. I'm going to stop making excuses and allowing myself so much slack. Give me hassle if you don't see that little car moving towards goal again soon!!

My freaky husband and I have agreed to do a naked photoshoot at some point this year. My freaky husband even told his mum! I must remind myself about this point of getting nekkid each time I waver. I'm also going to keep reminding myself of my original reasons why I wanted to lose weight.

I'm also going to check out my fat pics from the start of my diet regularly.

I have 9 months left of this year. I can lose the next 3 stone in that time.

Motivation - CHECK

I think I've found my motivation again!! Hurrah!! I think its the lovely weather we've had the last few days. Today as I walked to work I passed the surf dude shop and remembered one of my wishes - to buy a cute pair of combats and a cute strappy summer top from there.

I've been rubbish lately and have allowed my weight to just go up a pound, down a pound ad infinitum, but I feel it's behind me now. And at lunchtime Andy took me to a cycle shop to buy me a bicycle :D I'm actually going to get it through the work cyclescheme - but I'm chuffed that he offered to buy it for me and I'm encouraged that I can get back to cycling to work. I love walking to work, but I seem to use not-having-time as an excuse far too often and cycling takes much less time.

I'm all smiley.

(and yes, I'm still 221 pounds)

It's a start ...

I lost 2 pounds :D

I need to crack on with dieting properly now. One of the ladies gave me a tip today. When you eat something naughty the moment's pleasure is soon surpassed by anger towards yourself for eating it. Compare that to the feeling you get when the scales say you've lost.

Bad dieter!

It's a while since I last posted ... I missed weeks of weight watching over Christmas and when I went back last week, I'd put 3 lbs on. I didn't update my ticker because I was too ashamed to show it going in the wrong direction. Tomorrow I go for my weigh in. I really hope that I've shed a couple of those pounds, but to be honest I haven't been that good. I've got out of the habit of dieting and I keep letting myself have treats ... waaaaaaaaay too often. I'm drinking wine now and trying to resist crisps. They know they are gonna win though.
