A quick post!


Hey y'all!! Hope you are all well!

This is just a quick post because it's already late - and nearly my bed-time! I rejoined Weight Watchers last Monday, and weighed in at 182 :( That was bad! Tonight was my first weigh in and I lost........

3.5LBS!!!

Initially, I said to my leader "Awww, is that all??" But now I realise losing anymore is just unrealistic - I have been eating my treats, having pizza at the weekend and still having my chocolate at the end of the day - I so look forward to having my Cadbury's Crunchie! :-D I also tracked every day last week! I tracked online, in my tracker I get each week at the meeting, and on my WW points calculator!! Phew! I'm not sure how long all this tracking will last, but it makes me feel more in control. I have also noticed that my diet is sadly lacking in veggies, fruit and protein! Oh dear! I did managed 4 servings of fruit and veg one day last week - but I know this is not enough! I find it difficult to get all that in! I am back on the Green Monsters too!! They are so good :)

I took a load of pictures last week, and I kept meaning to do a post, but time just got away from me. I'm working a bit more just now as sadly one of my colleague and friend got some devastating news last week. Her husband has just been diagnosed with leukaemia, just a bolt out of the blue, and she is under so much stress. I can't begin to imagine how she is feeling and managing to cope with it. It's just terrible. I hope you will keep him and his family in your prayers. I pray he is going to get through this.

Sorry to be a downer on this post. I hope to finally set some proper time aside in the day to do a daily post, but before I know it, 2 weeks have passed!

I need to go prepare my lunch for tomorrow, and hopefully I will be able to hit the gym after work!

Hope everyone has had a great start to the week!!

Hugs to you all!

Some Wholesome Goodies!

Just thought I would share some of the wholesome goodies I had delivered! I can't wait to try the pinhead oatmeal (which you may know as steel-cut oats). I had been looking in the grocery stores for ages looking for steel-cut oats, only to find they weren't called that here! I may have it for breakfast tomorrow.....


Or I may have this!

It's only 2% fat, and only 101 calories for 30g bowl! How cool is that?! And all the ingredients are easy to pronounce! It's all natural - I can't wait to try this either! Though, I am notorious for eating whole boxes of cereal at a time - especially if it's Frosted Wheats or Special K - TOO MUCH SUGAR!!

I got these to have for lunches or dinners at the weekend...........I just love a panini! I have low fat shredded mozzarella to have on it!


And last but not least - some gorgeous sweet potatoes!!



I am so excited about Florida again. I was feeling down in the dumps and just feeling hopeless and that I didn't want to go because I keep thinking I'll still be fat. But, starting now - I can turn this around. I will try my hardest to get to my goal weight, but if I don't, and I'm close enough to it, then I know I will feel a helluva lot better than I do right now!

I think I will need a special suitcase to bring all the stuff home that I know I'm going to buy in Whole Foods when I get to the good ol' USA! Kenny is already dreading it!! Ha ha! He hates grocery shopping with me! I like to browse and look at everything, where as he is more like - get in the store, grab what you need and get outta there! I know there is Whole Foods just a 2 minute drive from our hotel!!! Plus I can't wait to get to Krispy Kreme again ..............What?? I'll be skinny by then! ;)

Does anyone have any favorite Whole Foods products??? What do you recommend???


Bullseye!

Hey Bloggies. I wasn't going to write a blog for a while because I felt like I let myself down last week for falling short of my goal that I set for myself to do 26.2 miles on the bike. But then I realised I would just be hiding from it instead of facing up to it! When I feel bad and down about myself, I tend just to say "stuff it" and eat anything and everything. I keep thinking what can I eat next! But for me, I need to start writing about these things so that I can look back and see where I was at a particular time.

So, I haven't been the best. My weight is creeping up again and my work trousers are TIGHT! That makes me feel worse and want to eat more. Need to get a grip. I had ordered my groceries online last night and it was delivered tonight. All healthy stuff! I have things for healthy lunches, healthy dinners, gorgeous sweet potatoes and salad, and loads of bottled water (fizzy water!) I really need to cut down on the diet soda. It's EVIL!!

I am thinking (yet again!) of joining a WW class. Not sure which one to go to though. I have been to most of them and I didn't really like the leaders! The one I did like, who I found really motivating, left the class! And the woman that replaced her was one I had been to before and didn't like - boo hoo! I think these are all just excuses at the end of the day!

Hope you have all had a happy Tuesday! (Nearly the middle of the week already!! Woop woop!)

PS. Kenny got me this mug for Easter - because I love Bullseye from Toy Story - I already scoffed the chocolate egg that was in it!)
