oh the shame, 19th july

well i have been awol for three weeks, sorry about that. basic story is i have been tootling along on the diet nicely, bit too much beer i guess but still keeping at it mainly.
we have decided however to try for another baby ( this will be no 3) we have two at school now and will need to do some home improvement to make room for it but we are hoping to have a baby next year sometime ( not yet PG)
subsequenbtly i have dropped my multibionta for a pregnacare vitamin with floic acid in and that is about the only change except cutting out alcohol. i dont drink when i pregnant at all so i will loose weight there, also i get killer morning sickness so will find it hard to manage my diet as i have to eat dry bikkies before i get out of bed or i might as well just move into the bathroom for the day
that said i will try and keep to the calorific allowances for a while at least so i can shift a few more lbs.
good news is i got my dress for our hannoversary in 2 weeks eeeek ( you may recall i am dieting for the last 3 months to get lovely for our 9th anniversary so i can look good on our mini holiday)
its an 18 and i look fabby in it. cant wait to see dh's face when he sees me all glorious and resplendant :)
feelign really good about me right now :)

thursday 28th june

well been at this 2 months now and apart form the beer i cant seem to give up on, im doing well i have lost 1 and a half stone and seem to be shrinking still despite not loosing any more weight.

yesterday i ate...

• breakfast - SF shake
• lunch - extra light philli pannini with rocket and lettice appx 250 cals
• tea - chicken tikka and 1 naan and 3 popodums appx 700 cals, 1 beer 187 cals (fosters is lower in cals than carlsberg i was drinking)

so mainly good, cant do any excersize at the moment, my knee got twisted on sunday and im on severly restricted movement to no exersize available, only 2 weeks to my race for life too so i hope im better fully by then.

weight currently 15st 12lbs, got my size 20 jeans on and feeling good :)

friday 22 june

im trying to re-double my efforts after pizza and beer last night :( god only knows what i weigh at the moment, i dont wanna know. im deffo going to be good today tho, when i go shopping ill only buy food im allowd, the freezer is completely empty and so is the fridge so its just as well im eating slim fast bars for brekkie LOL.
last night there was nothing it the freezer either so i went out for pizza, by the time i had de-nitted dd's hair (again) it was gone 8 and i was starving so i caved and went out for pizza, and beer ( altho i only had 3) i stopped when i realised i was not helping my diet.
feel all blo0ated today and wish i hadnt eaten what i did, so off to do some excersise today to try and work some of it off.
*shudder* to think what i weigh today...

monday 18th june

well past the 6 week mark but i have a couple of photos to show you, the sight of me in size 20 jeans may offend so look away now LOL.

still not so bad when you look at the befores LOL ( ps the befores are in black the nows are in jeans)







so as you can see everytthing is heading back up north ( makes a change LOL) im still struggling with my no beer pledge ( ok failing, i had a couple last night)

yesterday i ate...

• breakfast - SF shake
• lunch - roast pork with roast and new potatoes and veg - appz 400 cals
• tea - chicken, boiled egg and new potato salad appx 300 cals
• 3 cals of beer at 220 cals each :o

overall i didnt do that badly when you look at it, also found out tht fosters lager is well lower in cals than carlsberg so if i cant give up altogether at least i can make an informed choice

saturday 16th june

well im on 6 weeks now and havent lost any more weight.
i knwo why ( its the beer, did you guess) i have been excersizing, i have been good with the cals on food, i have also been drinking beer again. i will try and not drink for a week, wthis will be hard because there is beer in the fridge but if im gonna shift more of this jelly belly in 6 weeks before our h'anniversary, i need ot be serious about this!

tues 12 jun 07

wow i didnt realise i had abandoned this for nearly a whole week :o probs because i have been very naughty. i have really lost my way on this in the last few days, especially over the weekend, i went to a wedding friday and altho i loved that i looked great in my new size 20 dress ( with slimming pants oh the shame LOL) didnt drink at the wedding as i was driving, ate very carefully at the wedding, byt the time it was over dh was plastered and hungry again so we went for a kebab, and given that he had a skinfull i fancied a few beers myself.
saturday, dh needed a real brekkie to get over his headache so we did breakfast, then had a few beers in the evening ( i got squiffy on 4 cans of lager can you beleive it! LOL)
sunday i felt like a real brekkie myself so we did that again and then there was tea time, feeling like i blew it anyway we went for it. it is annoying when i made it doen to 15st 12 that i know now id be right back up there :( i wish i had the willpower to stick to this. i am trying to get thin for good and keep slipping, i know its not a race but id love to be a size 18 by aug 1st for our anniv. i really want to get a knockout dress for our meal out on holiday. also i have just signed up for a scrapbooking seminar in may next year so id like to loose a bit more weight for that, or at least keep off what i have already shed.

monday was much better, i tried, i really did, SF shake for brekkie, snack of shapers crispa ( horrible BTW dont go there, low cal or not!) then chicken tikka for tea with one naan bread and 3 popodums, only about 150 cals over what i should have had, but no excersice all weekend except on saturday when i took the dog out for a 2.2 mile walk

today, i have noticed i have 45 days till my anniversary, even less till my 5km walk, i really gotta get in gear.

today i have eaten

• breakfast SF shake and 1pt water
• snack defrosted prefrozen fruits of the forest and from age frais YUCK, they go all sour when they freeze them, will stick to fresh fruit from now on, didnt finish all 100 cals of it blergh!
• lunch sainsburys BGTY panini 140 cals, dollop cream cheese ( philli extra light) salad and tomato, probs no more than abotu 200 cals total and 1 pt of water.
• i have chicken out for tea and some peppers to use up but dont dare risk fajittas cos i always overeat them and besides we had chicken tikka for tea, dh will get worried by all this spicey food ( i only normally eat spicey when im preggers and im not!) will have to see what i can make to fit in with my cals allowance.

off to see if i can burn a few cals on the trainer machine too :)
