Man Eating Chicken.............and guess what I did!!

I got my nose pierced today!! I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for the longest time - over 7 years! I always put it off, saying I would get it done when I was at my goal weight. But I figured why wait til then - why wait until you are a certain weight to do anything - you are only denying yourself. Sure it's great to have a list of things to get/do when you reach your mini goals - but I feel sometimes you have to just go out and JUST DO IT!! hee hee! The picture is not very good - I used Photo Booth to take it!


I have decided to get more piercings when I reach certain targets. I would like another set of piercing on my ears and when I reach my ultimate goal I will get my naval pierced again - when I started gaining weight I had to take mine out - it was just too gross to keep! But I loved having my naval pierced - it made me feel feminine, sexy and a lil bit wild!! :-D


SOME OTHER STUFF!!

Workout!!

It's just after half eleven at night here in cold Glasgow! I am just back from the gym where I had an awesome workout!! I burned a whopping 545 calories in 50 minutes! My max heart rate was 185 and my average was 160! That is totally awesome for me, because usually I faff about warming up, then it might take about 10 minutes just to get my heart rate into the 150's!! But it was right up from the get go when I got on the treadmill and did the workout my trainer had created for me! I was in and out of the gym within an hour! I never had time to shower after my workout as the gym closes at half eleven (it was 11 by the time I finished my workout!) I knew half an hour would not be enough time for me to shower, dry, change, and dry my hair! They were even switching the lights out as I was making my way back to the changing rooms!!

I was supposed to have been writing down what I've been eating this week to let my trainer know how bad my diet is (lol!) But I have been bad at doing this. It has made me so aware at how much crap I'm eating and I'm ashamed to tell her how awful I eat! It has truly opened my eyes at how bad my nutrition really is. Usually when I'm "off" my diet, I don't track anything at all that I eat - usually I tally it up in my mind and think to myself "oh, it's not really that bad, I've not eaten that much...." But seeing it all in black and white makes me realise what a piggy I really am!

I have set a target to lose 35 pounds for my vacation! It's totally doable, and I hope to lose a wee bit more than that!! Once my trainer cleans up my diet, I know I will lose for sure!! She has even told me she will know if I have not followed her plan and I can't cheat!! Ha ha ha! I think I would be too scared to cheat once I start my diet!!

Ok, I have rambled on long enough! I better go walk Molly before it's midnight and I turn into a pumpkin!!

Night night! :-D

Personal Training!

Today I had my personal training "taster" session at the gym. It was AMAZING! I basically did a shortened version of the workout my trainer was preparing for me. I only did 2 sets of lunges and two sets of squats (no weights!) and my legs are already sore! In fact they were like jelly on my second set :-) I have signed up for the personal training and will meet with my trainer once a week and I have been "ordered" (ha ha ha!) to do some classes as well. So earlier this evening I booked myself into the Keiser spinning class tomorrow morning (yikes!! - I'm scared!)

I just feel so excited again about losing weight! I can't wait to start seeing the results!!

That's all for now! Hope you are all having a great start to the week!

Floridays!!

The weather here has been glorious the last few days – high temperatures and beautiful clear sunny skies. It is totally putting me in the mood for Florida!! I just keep thinking of the beautiful sun, driving the convertible, outlet shopping, driving to the beach and chilling out on the warm muggy nights, listening to Lady Antebellum - American Honey, anyone?? It makes me think of Jimmy Buffet songs!! Maybe because of Margaritaville!! Hee hee!


I weighed in this morning at 182lbs – I will just take it one pound at a time!! If I can get into the 140’s before my trip, I will be extremely happy!!

Yesterday I ate pretty good (compared to the last few weeks!!) I didn’t eat the best of things (I had a slice of cake and a candy lollipop!) but I estimated my calories about 1500. I am finally starting to feel more positive, and the more positive I feel, the less self conscious I feel! There is no point in feeling bad about myself and how I look right now because I haven’t lost the weight as yet, that is just wasted energy. I can concentrate on eating healthy and moving more in this moment and just know that these little steps will take me closer and closer to my goal.

I bought some books yesterday for some summer reading.

Coleen’s Real Style

Coleen is a cool girl who is a “normal” size and is in to promoting Real Women in modelling campaigns. Her book is all about fashion, accessories, make up and feeling good about yourself whatever your size!! It’s about getting the right fit of clothes and making the most of what you’ve got! I have only dipped into a few chapters but it’s great!!

Patrician Cornwell - The Scarpetta Factor

One of my favourite authors!!

Jackie Collins – Poor Little Bitch Girl

I started reading Poor Little Bitch Girl last night and so far I LOVE IT!! I have never read a Jackie Collins novel before! It won’t be the last!! It’s a bit of bitchy glamour and escapism!!

When I walked Molly this morning, I took a few more photos!!




We are just getting ready to head out to the mall. I had a look online yesterday and saw these!



The photos aren't very clear, but you get the idea!

Got to go now - going to listen to Lady Antebellum in the car with the windows down!!

Mish mash, stuff and photos!

That previous post was made by my lovely other half!! Please ignore it!! Ha ha ha! I did not eat my body weight in fried chicken - maybe only HALF my body weight..........WHAT??

My diet has been good one day and bad the next, but when I'm bad, I'm very very bad. Like, out of control bad, it's quite scary how much I can eat and not feel full. Maybe I have that condition where I don't feel full!! Ha! That is just an excuse!

But I'm telling you right here and now - I am now committing to eating as healthy as possible and on Monday I am meeting with another trainer at the gym to see about "Fight It!" personal training. I think it's training focussing on boxing techniques and high intensity cardio! I hope it won't be too expensive as I'm trying to save as much money as possible for Florida.

Work has been crazy the last couple of weeks. I was kinda "promoted" from assistant manager up to manager at work after our manager was sent home. He seems to have got it into his head that he was in some kind of dispute with the doctors - all because they took some work off of him to help him concentrate on the accounts. He thought this was them trying to "get rid of him"! I guess they thought he was having some kind of stress with paranoia?! So I was asked to kind of step in and do all of his work, and my own and that he may be off work for quite a long time. But it turns out he is probably coming back next Friday. Do I sound happy about that?! No, because we kinda detest the guy. Without going into anything, he is a conniving, scheming little lying sweetie wife! And we were all glad when he was sent home! We thought he might be gone for good!! The good thing is I am off for some vacay time next week! Yay!!

Sorry about the rant!

Here are a few photos I took in the last couple of weeks with my iPhone!!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! And HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!!

Still here!

I can't believe it's already the 7th of May!! Where has the time gone?? Life has been pretty crazy the last few weeks but I thought I'd better do a blog since it has almost been a month since my last post! To be honest, I haven't really been up to much so it's not going to be a very interesting blog! When is it ever?! Anyway, my weight has basically been the same since I re-joined WW. My third week I put on 1.5lbs, and when I weighed on Wednesday night I stayed the same. I was so relieved with that because I was sure I had put on. I haven't been tracking or exercising and I just seem to have lost my drive again. It seems to come and go, and I wish when I have the utmost motivation that I could harness that and just keep it with me all the time! I get so motivated when I watch the Biggest Loser, and I feel so positive, but then the self-sabotaging thoughts come back and I end up back to square one.

Last Sunday night we went to see Iron Man 2. It was totally awesome!! We might go see it again, but at the IMAX next time! Scarlett Johansson is totally kick butt in the movie - gorgeous girl!

I also treated myself to a spray tan last week - I was scared that I might end up like Ross from Friends! But it turned out pretty good! I will sure to get the tan again before Florida!

I need to catch up desperately on my blog reading! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend!
