I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

I did a dumb thing yesterday and weighed myself! Stupid!!! It was bad, really bad! I have eaten so much chocolate that I'm so sick of the stuff now. That's a good thing! lol

I got some really nice gifts. Gift cards for Boots (where I can buy my new obsession - make up!), Benefit Make up (my fave!) and lots of other really nice smelly things :D

I am going to be focussing on this:



and this:



and I'm going to look like this again! (but even better!)

This was me back in May 2005 (after doing Body For Life). I had been a Weight Watchers Gold member for 2 years before I tried Body For Life. I loved my results! I know I could have had better results then, but I kept having too many "Free days"!

Well, we're off out on a date to see Law Abiding Citizen!

Have a great evening everyone! I will post again tomorrow with some Christmas photies! lol

Winter Wonderland!



Hey everyone!! Happy Christmas Eve!! I hope you are all prepared for the big day tomorrow! I still need to get a few Christmas cards for people! I tried to get them yesterday, but they didn't seem very good!

For over a year, since last October, I haven't had a cold. Until today! For the last couple of days, I have had a cough, and this morning I woke up with a headache, runny nose and just feeling blah! What is up with that?! lol Anyway, after having some painkillers, cappuccino and *ahem* chocolate, I feel much better! It is still freezing here, but it's beautiful! I walked Molly earlier, and although it was very foggy, I was inspired by the frost and snow that I went back up to the house to get my DSLR to take some photographs! I thought I would post a few here for you to enjoy! I also took some photos the other night after watching One Magic Christmas!

Frosty, the Snowman! Molly was barking like crazy at this the other night!


Molly, with snow on her nose! She likes to eat the snow!!




Brrrr!!


Our Christmas Tree, and my Yankee Candles!


I shall leave you with a picture of my wonderful wellington boots!! Rockin' the Pink Polka Dots!

Replay!

This is my favorite song right now!! Can't stop playing it! - Replay!



Today was my last day at work until Tuesday 29th December!! Yay! I am glad because we had more snow today and I hate travelling to work in the snow and ice. Everything seems to come to a halt here when it snows - it's ridiculous! I heard a plane from the US (I forget where, but somewhere very cold!) had to be diverted to Glasgow Airport because Heathrow was closed because of snow and ice, and then stuck at Glasgow Airport after it cancelled flights! An American woman they interviewed said she couldn't believe it because they left the United States where it was minus 20! And here it's only minus 2! She is right! It just shows you how unprepared we are here in the UK!

Well, not much to report on the diet front (or lack thereof!). I am going out tomorrow with my dad to get some items for Christmas dinner and will try my best to eat more healthily until Friday!



I'm off to watch One Magic Christmas! Has anyone seen this? It's one of my favorite Christmas movies!!! Love it, love it, love it!!

Let it Snow!




First of all, thank you for your lovely comments on my last post! It was so nice to hear that people actually like reading what I write. Thank you for your words of wisdom too! Karla, you are right - I need to set myself some new goals! I was re-reading my goals from last year, and even though I haven't achieved a lot of them - I have moved forward and I feel in a better place than last year. I will review my goal list next year!

Oh and I have good news too! We have found flights and a hotel for Florida next year - and at a better price and a better hotel! I think this was just a blessing in disguise, and made me realize how much I really, really want to get away next year! And now I can start focusing on seriously getting this weight off! I have had a LOT of blips this last few weeks. I just kinda lost my mojo! I had been so motivated and excited, and then a wee change in routine just upset everything. When I eat bad, I not only feel bad about myself, but I feel angry all the time and get annoyed by the most trivial things. It's not a good feeling. So lesson learned!
EATING WELL = FEELING WELL! Simple!

On Saturday night we went to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast - the Broadway Musical. This was the 2nd time we had seen the show, and it was absolutely brilliant! We were in the 4th row, middle, and just had such a great time. The music, the dancing, the atmosphere was just so amazing. No wonder you love to dance, Karla! This was the only photo I took. After the show, when everyone had left!

I have finally finished up my Christmas shopping, have written out my cards and finished putting up the decorations. I am listening to an internet Holiday music station! I am feeling all Christmassy at last!! It was snowing here at the weekend, which was really nice! I hope it snows again for Friday!!! Not often we get a White Christmas in Glasgow!

I will leave you all with some photos I took over the weekend!
View my living room!



Aren't these shoes fabulous?! I want the pink ones!


Festive Fun!!


Juicy Watches - Fabulous Dahling!

If I don't manage to blog before Christmas, I hope you all have a great time, wherever or whatever you are doing, and keep safe!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

PS. I have decided not to create a new blog but just redesign this one - AGAIN! Maybe give it a new name in the New Year :-D

Florida Flop?!

I can't believe it!! The airline we had booked our Florida trip through went belly up yesterday! Are we not supposed to go to Florida??? Luckily, because it was a package deal we should get our deposit back. And luckily it is only a deposit we paid! But we also paid extra to pre-book our seats on the flight! Arrrgghh! I have already been looking for alternative arrangements, and have found a better hotel, a better flight for just about the same price! The only thing is I will need to wait until I get the refund before I can book anything else - which is pain because the price might go up!

PS. My diet is totally off the rails. I was even considering deleting this blog since I am far from inspiring anyone or give any decent advice, or any advice for that matter! My blog is boring! It needs to change. I need to change! I am considering starting a brand new blog. A nice clean fresh start!

I tried to get into the Christmas spirit tonight but my tree doesn't light up! It's a fibre-optic tree, and the bulb is bust!! Just like my vacation! I still need to get Christmas cards, and some gifts! I just feel like sleeping through it all and waking up on 2nd January!!

Hopefully I will be back before Christmas!! Have a great rest of the week everyone!

It's a Thrill!!

Last night we went to see Thriller, Live! OMG! What an amazing show this was. The dancing, the singing, everything about this was just awesome! I wasn’t sure what to expect, I don’t really like reading reviews about shows or movies, because I want to be surprised when I see them! I only took one photo while we were there because we were up dancing most of the time! If you get a chance to see this show, I wouldn’t hesitate in getting a ticket!!

I wore these fabulous shoes – which I got for a steal at a second hand store! They only cost £6.99! Brand new, Kenneth Cole! What a bargain! And they were fairly comfortable – but after about 2 hours of dancing, standing and walking to and from the car, I had to take them off! Luckily, I brought a spare pair of heels with me that only about a one a half inch heel!
So I weighed in this morning and my weight is back up to 172.4. No surprise there at all – I know I can lose it again – and healthy food tastes so much better anyways, I don’t know why I have been eating KFC! I used to hate the stuff. Maybe they put an addictive substance into their 11 spices! Ha ha!

I had this for breakfast this morning, and then the rest as a snack later on this afternoon. It was so yummy. Only 5 points for the whole box (2 servings!lol)

I also hit the gym tonight. My 3rd time this week! Go me! I did just over an hour. I have completed Week 1 of the Couch to 5K program. I did a 10 minutes on the X-trainer, 2 sets of squats on the Power Plate, some incline bench presses, incline flyes. I burned over 400 calories! And I feel amazing! I did just over 3km on the treadmill – in fact at one point I thought I was going to pass out because I was running so fast (I’m only 5’2, short legs and going 12km/h is fast for me! lol


I booked tickets earlier to go see Phil Vassar! Has anyone heard of him?? Yet another country singer coming to Glasgow!! Come on Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood – GLASGOW is where it’s at!!! Lol

PS. Before I go, here is a shot of Toby Keith, when we went to see him last month. I totally forgot to do this when I blogged about him.
Going to watch the Hills, then off to bed! Hope you have all had a fabulous weekend!!!

Arrrrgggghhh!

What is wrong with me?? I get into the 160's and all of a sudden, I want to eat bad things ALL THE TIME!! Since Saturday, I have eaten at TGI Fridays, McDonalds, and KFC (twice!) My weight has gone back up to 171.4. Which isn't all that bad, but I could be nearly at the 150's. Why do I seem to sabotage myself? I was in such a good routine, didn't want to eat anything bad, stuck to my points - and even went back to the gym this week. I went on Wednesday to do day 2 of the couch to 5k program. And I felt awesome afterwards. And I felt awesome when I was eating healthy and sticking to my points. I need to remember that.

Well, just wanted to vent! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!
