New Start

Well I really have to stop messing around and start losing again - my weight is up and down like a yo-yo!

I gained 5lb last week - crazy amount of weight to gain! 

This morning I had an M&S Classic Fruit Salad for my breakfast - apparently that's equivalent to 4 of my 5 a day fruit &/or veg!

For lunch I have salad and a ham sandwich, then dinner - not too sure!

Anybody reading this and struggling - come on focus - you CAN do it - I CAN do it too! 

Let's be BIG losers (in a dieting sense of the phrase :) )

Whoooo yeah!

I lost 2lb last week - onward and downward! 

Another 12 to go before the end of this month (hmmmm not sure if that's a bit too much, so maybe say another 5...)

Getting a grip...

...is really hard!  I am so unfocussed now and am eating what I shouldn't be!   I HAVE to lose 2 stone and I'm not helping myself! ARGH!

OK less of the psycho-analysing and more of the PMA!  Good points about my weight loss so far:

Lost 7lb in the first week
Lost 5lb in the second week
Lost over 14lb so far
I have lost 3 stone (42lb) in the past
A few of my clothes aren't tight anymore

So what am I doing wrong?

Buying junk food from work and eating it
Not sticking to my menus
Not exercising as often as I had been
Not drinking enough water/herbal teas (I can't drink 'real' tea or coffee)
Eating bigger portions
Thinking about it too much instead of just getting on with it

Anyone reading this might be struggling as well!  You know what - we CAN do this - we just need to kick ourselves up the bum and get moving again - it's hardly rocket science!

Come on fellow dieter we CAN do this - we CAN achieve something (just keep away from junk food  and negative people  ) and start eating more fruit and veg and drinking more water etc (closest thing I could get to water )

Until next time

Oh dearie dearie me...

Yes, oh dear, indeed  - I gained 3lb this week  - after my loss of one last week - what a shame BUT I am starting the Fast Track diet (well, started it yesterday) - this is where I eat 1,200 cals for 2 weeks then 1,400 thereafter! Yesterday I completed 1 hour of aerobics and toning.


I can do this - I have set myself a goal of losing about a stone (14lb, 6-7kg)  by the end of August! If I can manage to fall below 10 stone (140lb, 63.5kg) I'll be happy because I want to then lose another stone by Christmas!  It's going to take a lot of dedication to being good food wise and exercising daily - no let up! 


I have been thinking lately that this weight loss quest should be more than just weight loss - it should be a whole body package - let me explain...


I follow a daily facial skincare regime, but I've been thinking that I should do a whole body one which should include:
Cleansing
Exfoliating
Moisturising
Brushing
Manicure
Pedicure


I also should start Vlogging again (a Vlog - is a video log - I have a Youtube account [or 2] so I need to get going on doing that!)


OK that's it for now! Keep going you CAN do it...
