Day Three ...

REPEAT AFTER ME ....

"Hunger is my friend."

I'm starving today!! I've just eaten a whole tray of cherry tomatoes, I'm hoping they'll satisfy my hunger pangs in a minute or so. Any longer than that and I'll have to ask my colleagues to restrain me from going to the vending machine.

It's my own fault though. I didn't eat enough yesterday. I just had a bowl of Special K for tea instead of a meal. I fancied it though and didn't really have time to cook.

After having already cycled to work and back, to the swimming pool and back and swum 20 lengths, my friend I was meeting "for a beer" had I realised tricked me into actually going for a long walk with a beer at the end of it. Twas fine though. I enjoyed it, and so did my little doggy.

Roll on slimsville!!! :D

Day Two

Well Day One went reasonably well. I ate Fruit n fibre for breakfast, cucumber and tomatoes for mid morning snack, salad (with cheese - which is a bit naughty) for lunch. Fish, new potatoes and corn on the cob for tea.

I swam 20 lengths, despite my nipples popping out of my swimsuit almost every length and I lost an earring in the pool.

I cycled to work and back.

Andy put a battery in the scales and I found I'd actually put on 3½ pounds since I last weighed in, which wasn't as bad as I thought.

Today I cycled to work, had tomatoes mid-morning, cycled to the swimming pool, swam 20 lengths in a different swimsuit, cycled back to work. I've just had a prawn salad and now I'm tucking to (over)ripe cherries. I think I'll have fish for tea again tonight. At this rate I'll be toned up by the weekend ;)

Day One

Back to it!! I stopped going to WW and the battery ran out on our scales. Poor excuse I know!!

So, I think I've probably put about 7 pounds back on, which I will confirm when I go and buy a battery later.

I have made a commitment to swim every lunchtime this week. I've made a good start this morning. I spent hours chopping salad, then cycled to work with my swimming gear in my bag.

It's a good start :D

My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week, which would be 10 pounds by Tattoo Jam on 1 August ... I have a fancy dress outfit to wear that night which requires less padding in the belly area.

I could then lose a further 4 pounds in the 2 weeks before our summer holiday, thus making me a stone lighter. It's gonna take some will power - so any encouragement / beating with a stick is very welcome.

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.
