Banana Republic  - I just wish we had BR here in Scotland, but luckily I can still shop online :-)   I love these jeans.


McIntosh Apples........


DIY Manicures - I love these false nails - they look so natural, don't you think?

Sausage fingers!

Blue Bloods......



Supernatural....... I love Jensen Ackles!!!  Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins aren't too shabby either ;-)



Breathe Carolina - Blackout.  I am loving this song - it's a great workout tune!

Top Tips to Get you to GOAL! Part 1!

If you are looking for some inspiration, motivation or a bit of no nonsense advice on losing weight and getting to goal - then look no further!!  These tips were in a recent edition of Weight Watchers Your Week magazine.  I hope you enjoy them and find some tips you can use yourself.

1.  Stick to your Daily Points allowance.
 Every day that you stay within your daily PP budget brings you one day closer to reaching your goal because you're creating the calorie deficit your body needs to lose weight.

2.  Use Your Weekly Allowance for Greater Flexibility.
When you want to eat more than your daily PP allowance or enjoy a treat, dip into your weekly allowance.

3.  Track EVERYTHING you eat!
Studies show that keeping track of your food intake can boost weight loss success.  That's because, without tracking, it's easy to think you've eaten less than you actually have!

4. Stay to Your Meeting Talk.
Research shows that people who attend the greatest number of meetings have the greatest weight loss.  So weigh in, then stay around to be inspired!

5.  Move More than you did Before.
Getting active is the ONLY way you can get  your body to burn more calories every day.  Why not break down your moves into 10 minute bursts, so it's no sweat?!


****************************************


I hope these simple tips can help you if you are struggling or are in need of a simple reminder that it's easier than you think.  They certainly helped me get back on track!

I went back to my WW meeting tonight and weighed in at 202.5lbs.  My weight in the morning though was 201lbs - so I may just take my weight in the morning, nekkid! lol  Although I think just being up 1.5lbs at night with my work clothes on sounds not too bad!

I hope everyone is having a great week =)  I'll be having an even better week if I can book tickets tomorrow to see Madonna here in Scotland in July!!  I will let you know how it goes :-) Wish me luck!

I will be back with more tips later in the week!

Happy February! =)

Happy February everyone!  I was going to say Happy New Year - but it's well past the time for saying that ;-)

I feel motivated to do a post just now - so I'm just going to go with the flow.  I have been kind of out of touch with the blogging world for quite a few weeks now.  I have been kind of reading everyones blogs, but usually just once or twice a week!  I miss the blogging world, so I'm back to catching up with everyone and try and keep my own blog updated.

As you know, I had gone back to WW in October and was doing well for a few weeks.  I lost 9.5lbs but then I started slipping back into old habits again and messing about with other diets.  I basically lost all focus!  I gained a little bit back so I'm at a total weight loss of 7.5lbs at the moment.  I have been hitting the gym though and I feel that I'm back into a routine with working out, so now all I have to do is balance my diet and exercise and see results - why do I make it so difficult for myself??  ;-)

We have booked our holiday/wedding/honeymoon for September!!  I'm so excited, but also scared that I've not left enough time to lose enough weight to feel great about myself.  I know if I just focus on the goal I will get there or pretty darn close, so it's time to stop messing about.  This is real!  I don't want to feel like a fat, sweaty cow on my wedding day.   I remember how awful I felt in the Florida heat in 2010 - my legs were always rubbing together, they were chafed and sore and I could hardly walk!   We spent the best part of a day looking around Walgreens, CVS and Wal-mart looking for anti-chafing cream!!  Not a memory I really want to remember but that's the truth of it!  Being fat SUCKS!!

I am pleased to say, that as of today, I am back to doing WW - I'm counting my PP's and tomorrow I will be hitting the gym with my love!  The good thing is I have no excuse to back out now.  I sold my car two weeks ago, and have inherited my lovely fiance's car, which means I have to go home and then we go to the gym together.  It makes it so much easier when you have someone supporting you and working out with you too!

I will be going back to my usual meeting on Wednesday, so I hope to have a good result for you all =)
