Biggest Loser

I just finished watching Season 6 of the Biggest Loser!! I am so happy that Michelle won it!! I actually screamed!

I don't have much to report today - I did a 5k walk this morning, and it was tough but I burned 350 calories! Yay!

My weight was down a tiny bit this morning to 173.8lbs - so hopefully it keeps going down, down, down!

Time to walk Molly, then time for bed! I hope you've all had a great weekend!


New Bag, Purse and Make up!

As promised, here is my second post of the day - aren't I so good to you!! Mwahaha!

I forgot to post my weigh in stats this morning. My weight was 174lbs. That's not so bad considering what I have been eating for the past 4 weeks! I suppose my "good" days in between are really keeping my weight steady. But I need to be losing, and getting rid of my "binge" mentality. Just because I have one chocolate bar, does not mean I need to eat another 5! I'm working on it!

Today my dad and I went out for lunch and a bit of shopping - I bought him a couple of DVD's - Identity with John Cusack, and Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. He hasn't seen these movies, but I have and I knew he would like them :-) I finally got a new handbag - the one I'm using now is starting to fall apart at the seams - literally! Here is my new bag!

And then Molly wanted to get in on the action!!

I also got a new purse (wallet!) It's so cute!


I also treated myself to some more make up - I admit I am becoming a bit obsessed about make up! I am loving it! I got Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara, and the Masterpiece eyeshadow (which was free with the mascara!!) I tried 3 colors on the back of my hand, and I can still see it after washing my hands 4 times since!! It has great staying power :-)

Molly is better after her wasp sting - it got a bit swollen but after I applied some ice to it and gave her a wee bit of toast with butter she was right as rain. Resilient little Jack Russell!

I would report on my diet for today but I am too ashamed!! I have had cake and half a medium pizza hut pizza - it's not as bad as some days - but still, it's not healthy and won't get me any closer to my goal of losing 20lbs by November. Tomorrow is a fresh day and I intend to make it a good healthy day!

Hope you are all having a healthy fabulous weekend!

Karla! Can't wait to hear about your Rockette Experience!!!

Hair and Kandee!

To make up for not blogging yesterday - I will blog TWICE today! Aren't you all so lucky?! lol

I got my hair done yesterday and I LOVE, LOVE LOVE it!!! Since starting my weight loss journey I have been paying more attention to my hair and have been getting more into make up! I'm starting to feel like I'm worth the time, and money to spend on myself. I have been addicted to make up tutorials on YouTube - you should all check out Kandee - she is so sweet and down to earth! I will post one of her videos at the end!

So here is a quick photo of my new hair! It is lighter and I love it! Did I say that already??


I have a make up lesson towards the end of September at a department store with Benefit - I love their products - maybe I should do some reviews!

My wee Molly was stung by a wasp this morning! We were out walking and suddenly she yelped and started crawling along with her tail down - I didn't know what had happened at first. I tried to see what had happened as she was limping and there was a wasp crawling near her - little bugger! So I just picked her up and took her home. I put some Bicarbonate paste on it - after googling what I should do! I think she's okay now though because she's jumped off the sofa barking at a dog on a tv advertisement!!

So I'm off out with my dad later for a bit of lunch and some browsing in the shops! I may get a new handbag - I desperately need one!

Have a great Saturday :-)


Oh and here is one of Kandee's videos!!

Post with no name!

Not much to report today! I go to the hairdressers tomorrow after work to get my hair did - I can't wait for that!! Hopefully I will be able to go a bit blonder! My diet today has been not to bad - More or less stuck to my points, but it hasn't been the healthiest of eating - I will be having a Green Monster tomorrow! Love them with some Acai!

Well, it's almost time for the Biggest Loser! Catchcha later!!

Weight Watchers Class and Weigh in

So, despite my bad week, I went to my WW class. I put on 2lbs. I am surprised it wasn't more!! I mean, I ate like a pig, only worse!! So, my head is back in the game!! The class was about excuses, and I have to say I am the Queen of Excuses. Slept in, no time for breakfast or make lunch! Or, "I had a bar of chocolate, I may as well have another 5!!" Where is the rational thinking in that??

I am just going to try harder, keep on going and never give up!

A Better Day!

Thank you to you all for your wonderful encouraging words! It meant so much to me! I loved Lola's comment about what Jillian Michael's said! I had to laugh at that - so true! I know it's only one day, but it seems like it's every OTHER day just now. Karla, you remind me that it can be done! Today was a better day than yesterday, I ended up with a migraine from all the sugar! Ha, serves me right! lol My body is rebelling against the crap I'm feeding it! Tomorrow will be an even better day! And, usually when I'm in this kinda funk, I don't blog - but I have blogged everyday this week! Yay - at least I've stuck to one thing I said I'd do.

I'm trying to find another WW class to go to that's closer to home. I was going to one after work, but it's on at a later time now and getting home at 9pm isn't my idea of fun!

Keep on truckin', one day at a time!!!

What I am aspiring to!

Ignore the crazy look on my face!! This was taken in Florida in 9 Sept 2003 - Wow 6 years ago! That was the year I got to my target weight with Weight Watchers and loved the plan so much I wanted to be a leader!

A Bad Day

WTF is wrong with me?? Why can't I follow a plan for more than a day??? Uggh! I am so mad at myself right now. When will this ever end?? How am I ever going to lose weight if I can't stop bingeing?? Get my jaw wired shut?! Seriously, I need therapy.....


A Great Day!

It's almost 9pm, and I still have 2 points left for my chocolate fudge bar treat tonight :-)

This is what I ate today:

Breakfast: Green Monster and a bowl of oats 3 points
Cappuccino with brown sugar 0.5 points

Lunch: Pita "pizza" with caramelized red onion, half tsp of pesto and WW Cheese 4.5 points

Dinner: Fish in Breadcrumbs, Spinach, and mixed lettuce salad 4.5 points
Mullerlight yogurt with 2 meringue nests 3.0 points

Snacks: Crumpet with jam/8 prunes - 2.5 points
Pack of ready salted square crisps - 1.5 points
Cadbury's Fudge Bar 2.0 points (still to enjoy!)

I also got in a brisk 25 minute walk with Molly this morning! I have had a relaxing day at home, just watching Style Network and E! I also tried a new WW recipe that I got from the Weight Watchers magazine - I was going to have it with dinner but it wasn't ready on time :-( It's in the fridge for tomorrow's dinner :-) I will post the recipe tomorrow - after I try it of course!

I am feeling so much happier, healthier and in control! Let's hope I can keep it up - I'm just going to take it one day at a time.


Now!

So today, I definitely went over my points. I seemed to snacking all day - I think my points total is about 29 - I am allowed 22 points a day, so not soooo bad, but not good either.

I did do a 25 minute walk this morning and worked up a bit of a sweat, but what I really need to do is get back into a routine of work, gym, healthy dinner, sleep. I know it's boring, but it's what I need to get back into. Being fat is no fun. Being self conscious all the time and feeling blah all the time is sucking the life out of me!!

It starts NOW!!!!!

Here's what I ate (it's baaad!)

3 Peanut Butter cups 5
Cheese sandwich with salad 6
Scone with jam 4
7 Biscuits 3.5
Bar of tablet (it's all sugar!) 3.5
Packet of crisps 1.5
Curly Wurly
6 Wholewheat crispbread with cottage cheese 3.5
2 Meringue nests 1.5


That makes me sick to see that in black and white - there is only one thing on that list that has any nutritional value!!!!
Eating that crap is not going to help me lose 20lbs. I had no plan today - and you know what they say - You fail to plan, you plan to fail - and that's exactly what I did today. It can only get better!


Everyday Blogging - Day 1!

I must admit I am going to steal an idea from Losing my Thighs
to blog everyday in an attempt to keep myself accountable on my challenge to try and lose 20 pounds by 11 November!! She is keeping me inspired with her ideas!!

This morning's weight was 173.8 - yikes (that's a 1.2 gain from last week) but I had a Mia pizza from pizza hut last night (Though I only had just over half of it and it's a small pizza!)

I will blog again tonight with my eats for today!


I'm Baaaack!!!

I have decided to come back to blogger! Wordpress is just way to complicated for me, and designing and adding widgets and stuff was just driving me crazy! So I just thought I'd do a quick post.

I rejoined Weight Watchers on Wednesday night - and weighed in at 177lbs - which isn't too bad for me - I know my weight first thing in the morning is 172-173, so I am not worried! The past two days though I haven't been following points, but tomorrow, I am so back on the wagon! I want to lose 20 pounds for November when I go to the Toby Keith concert!! Yeah! I can't wait!!!

I hope you will still continue to join me on my journey!

Hugs,
