A set back is always a chance for a COME BACK!

I seem to have lost my stride the last couple of days.  I always seem to stray off course when I get out of my routine.  Why is it so easy to get out of good habits than it is to keep with them??  I love it when I'm eating healthy and I feel so good when I drink plenty of water and have my fruits and veggies!  I feel slightly back in control today - but I haven't tracked so I could be doing worse than I think!

I weighed in on Wednesday and I was down 0.6lbs!  Yay!  So I'm at a total loss of 7.8lbs in 3 weeks.  I feel good about that :-)  I hope my wee set back won't do too much damage at my next weigh in.

My gym has just undergone a transformation!  I haven't seen it yet, as I haven't been there in over a week, but we are excited to go tomorrow and see all the new equipment and newly painted walls and flooring!  I will try and take some photos of it to show you guys.

I bought Zumba Fitness RUSH for the Kinect during the week after trying out the demo.  It is an amazing and fun workout!! There are different types of workouts you can do - short, medium or longer and either high, low or medium intensity.   I did a short workout at hight intensity which lasted about 20-25 minutes.  I wore my HR monitor and it showed I burned 180 calories!  The calorie count on the game said I only burned 100 - but that is obviously nonsense! ha ha ha!  I guess it's just a guestimate!

I'm off to watch Charmed on Netflix!  I'm still on season 1, episode 20!  I love it!!

Hope you are all having a kick-butt weekend!!

My Favorite Things Part 1.

Happy Saturday, everyone - I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend :-)

Just thought I would do a quick post about things I am loving right now!

The new Weight Watchers Theme Song here in the UK - it really gets me excited about WW again!!!





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!


I hope to do Part 2 of Top Tips to Get You to Goal, sometime in the next few days!!  I am happy to report that I'm down a total of 7.2lbs - My 3rd Weigh in will be this Wednesday - I hope to get 5% achievement then! =)

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!!

Wednesday Weigh In

Last week, I rejoined another WW class, after being so disappointed by the one I had previously joined two weeks ago.  This class could not be better!  Not only is the class bright, lively and informative, but it also has one of the highest weight loss results throughout some of the other Glasgow classes since January.  Also the leader is a Diamond Award leader, which I can only take as a good thing! Ha ha ha!

So, basically, I restarted (AGAIN!!) last Wednesday.  My weight had gone up 1lb since I started the week before that but I wasn't worried.  In my head I knew I was going to restart over in this new class so I didn't track all week.

Tonight, I weighed in and was so pleased to have lost.....dun, dun, duuuun!!

FOUR POUNDS!!!

Yay!  I am so over the moon happy, I can't even begin to tell you!  I have even been "struggling" with eating all my ProPoints all week.  Until last night, when I went over by 9 :-(   Now in the past I would have let that de-rail my whole effort but no - I continued to track it all.  There is no point in lying to myself about this anymore.  It's not going to get any better if I don't track and just pretend it didn't happen.

I find that when I am following WW, I challenge myself to eat more fruit and veg and yesterday just wasn't one of those days - i just felt snacky all day.

I am going to step up my activity this week also and hopefully that will give me another great result next week!

I hope you're all having a great week too!!

See ya later, Alligator!

1st Weigh In!

Hey guys!  I feel like it's been forever since I last blogged!

I have been sticking to my new healthy eating plan all week.  I feel great, my clothes are looser, I don't feel depressed and I have more energy!!  I have to admit that earlier tonight I did have a craving for Creme Eggs, but that was only because a commercial came on TV and they looked super yummy!  But, I am not giving in to any more cravings again.  Because, the food is always there.  It's not going to go away.  It's there if I REALLY want it.  I want to stick to this plan for 4 weeks and then allow myself a little treat.  Creme Egg McFlurry! Bahahaha!  My fave!

So on to what this post is about!!  I'm glad to report that I lost............

5.6lbs!!!

I am so pleased with those results!  I finally feel I am back on track.  I was off the rails for quite some time, but now I am BACK!  Hey, that totally rhymes!  I'm a poet and I don't know it..... sorry!

The only thing now that needs to fall into place is my workout routine!  I did some "exercise" last night.  I stuck on the Demo for Dance Central for Xbox Kinect and did about 10 Lady Gaga dance routines to Poker Face!  It was awesome!  I haven't yet mastered it, but when I do, I will try it on hard mode.  It's so much fun!!

Ciao bambinos!
