I'm Baaack, baby!

For a while there, I considered not blogging again, but then I started missing it - and having a little bit of accountability with my weight loss journey.  I feel that I have gone round in circles the last couple of years.  Losing a bit, gaining it back with a little bit extra each time and feeling very down, defeated and that I will never lose this weight again.

I rejoined WW back in the middle of October!  I love my meetings, counting my PP's and feeling better about myself for staying on track for most of the time!

I had lost a total of 9.5lbs but this week I gained a pound :-(  This time, I am NOT giving up.  I have nine months until my wedding!!  I need to look fantastic!!

I will make this a short and sweet post but wanted to mention a few great things that happened over the last few weeks!!


  • I met Toby Keith!  He is so tall and gorgeous!  We took the train through to Edinburgh and had a quick bite to eat at Hard Rock Cafe!  I had a bit of a headache so I barely ate anything :-(  I think I was too nervous about meeting Toby! Ha!




  • A Whole Foods Market opened up right here in GLASGOW and the only one in the whole of SCOTLAND!!!


















Isn't it awesome!!!  My life will truly be complete when Krispy Kreme opens up here in Scotland......

  • I lost 9.5lbs following Weight Watchers!
  • The jeans I bought to wear when meeting Toby Keith are already waaay to big to wear again!!
  • I had an awesome bike ride today - it was cold and sunny when I set out but even colder, rainy and windy on my way back home - but it felt amazing to be out and moving my body!
  • I am thinking of running a Rock n Roll Half Marathon!  I couldn't believe it when I found out it was coming to Europe, and it's first leg is Edinburgh!!  I will let you know when I book my place. I'm talking Kenny into joining me - I don't want to run it on my own.  I've never really run before, so this would be a great event to train for and get me running!!
  • I am starting Couch to 5K - again - tomorrow.  I think I will start in week 2 or 3 though - I can comfortably run for more than 2 minutes......
I'm sure I had more to blog about but I can't think of anything else at the moment!  Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving (for those that celebrate it!) and are getting ready for the Christmas season!!

I'm going to meet someone amazing!!!

I just couldn't stay away from Blogger!  Hi guys, did you  miss me??!! lol

So I started WW again almost 2 weeks ago.  My first WW weigh in was bad.  I weighed in at 14st 10.5lbs, which is 206.5lbs.  My first week I lost 1.5lbs.  I was pretty bummed about that, but I couldn't really complain because I had stopped tracking on Sunday and was WAAAY over my points =(  This week though, has been stellar!  I have been sticking to my PP's and getting in way more fruit and veg on a daily  basis.  My weigh in is tomorrow so I'm hoping for a good result.  I just need to ease back into exercise again and get my butt to the gym!  Last night I had the weirdest dream I ran a half marathon in those toning flip flops!  I did great in the dream - I ran in it in 1 hour and 20 minutes! lol  Then I said to someone now I know why all these people on the blogs enter races and stuff - it's just so exciting!  Maybe that's my subconscious telling me something?!

Anyway, I have fabulous news also!!  We are going to see Toby Keith this Sunday in Edinburgh and I actually won a Meet and Greet!!

I'M GOING TO MEET TOBY KEITH!!!  

I may die on the spot!  And then he'll have to resuscitate me - how cool would that be?!  Yeah I know I'm totally crazy!!
 

I will be back tomorrow or Thursday with a Weigh in Result!!

Catch ya later dudes!

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!!!

I'm Back!!

Hey everyone! I feel it has been forever since my last post!!

So last Monday was the Toby Keith gig - it was freaking amazing!! I love his deep American accent! The queue to get in was ridiculous - it was wrapped round the building and about half a mile up the road! And we waited about 45 mins to get in. Just was well it wasn't raining, but it was pretty cold! I was worried we were going to miss the "warm up" act, but we didn't. Mica Roberts was his opening act - a country singer on Toby Keith's record label. She was amazing - great voice! I had goosebumps!
I got this T-Shirt - it doesn't fit me just now - in fact I can't even get it over my shoulders! But I wanted a smaller size in the hopes I will be able to wear it in Florida next year! Yay!

Isn't it cute?!

So my weight watchers journey is going well so far! The times I find most difficult are the weekends - and I have been going a bit overboard with eating! My weight is down to 171 pounds!! I am so happy I am finally losing weight again! I'm hoping to get into the 160's by this weekend!! 169.9 would do fine!! lol I haven't been to the gym (broken record!) but I did buy this!

I started it yesterday and it was HARD!! It had running, squats, side lunges (and I HATE lunges!), shoulder raises, bicep curls, boxing! I was sweating! I thought it was going to be easy! I did another workout tonight - yet more lunges, tennis drills, shoulder presses, and leg raises for the abs - this felt even harder, my legs are already sore! Hopefully I can keep this up and get back into some sort of fitness routine. I have also been parking even further from work so I am doing a bit more walking in my daily routine.

Has anyone ever watched Ruby? I started watching it last Tuesday - I love it! I kept crying - I'm such a sap. I cry every week at the Biggest Loser!

Time for me to hit the shower! I hope to get back to regular blogging - I feel better when I blog, I was starting to feel guilty for not blogging and not catching up on my blog reading. I need to get back into my regular routine :-)
