mmmm it has been a long time since i've been on here - nearly a year! yip i am still a fat fecker lol but tonight i am going to my 1st zumba class.......jeez i hope i survive lol :)

Neglect.........

Yip NEGLECT that's what i've been doing to my blog - neglecting it.

After my weekend away at the wedding, my hubbys birthday and my birthday i put on 4lb!!!! What can I say ............ at least I didn't stay the same lol :)

Well at least I can laugh about it and I definately enjoyed it. I've been back on track since last week and I lost 2lb when I weighed in on saturday so i'm aiming to get the other 2lb off asap!

I've got a party on Sept 11th and I'm aiming for 7lbs off so fingers crossed i'll do it.

The kids are back at school on Wednesday and I am soooo looking forward to getting back into a routine and hopefully helping boosting the weightloss again.
I'm trying to work out what week i'm on and think i've got mixed up somewhere, i'm sure Week 26 was holiday - then Week 27 gained 4lbs - then Week 28 lost 2lbs. So next week must be Wk 29.

Jeeeeezzzzzo it is coming off slowly :O

WI Week 22, 23 & 24

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

well i have stayed the same weight for sooooo long now that i'm ready to scream out loud :(

i know, i know, everyone keeps saying at least your not gaining but for fecks sake not even 1 lb off!

i have tried varying food, fast start and different excercises and the only thing i can think of now is jacking it all in . . . . . . .

ok no i'm not going to jack it but what do i do next!

i'm away next weekend and i am taking a holiday week. i am going to stick to the plan as much as poss and i'll be home on sunday so i'm thinking of doing the wendie plan that week and fingers crossed booting my metabolism right back into touch and maybe even getting a loss :)

WI Week 20 & 21

man alive i've no been on for ages, life just seems to be so hectic and busy all the time!
i've not been on 5+ board or anything, i just seem to get up in the morning, rush around then fall into bed at night.

yip and now it's the summer holidays so kids all day - hectic hectic hectic lol
if i hear once more "I'M BORED" i think i'll scream. i mean they've not even been off a full week yet :O

this weekend coming we're going camping hahahahaha ME CAMPING!!!! do they have en-suite loos in a tent i said to ma billy?? oh yeah was the reply - A BUCKET lol
never mind it's for the kids! we go on friday, (weather report says rain!!) but it's not far just to perthshire we are borrowing my aunts 9 man tent and she's got all the gear to go with it :)
i asked the woman when we booked what time we could arrive and she said from 12 noon. yip we'll be there at 12 noon to get the thing up before darkness falls hahaha.
list of things to pack includes, shorts, t-shirts, hats, suncream, wellies & rain coats. pretty much covers it ;)
camping for me in the past has always been T in the Park, so take away the smelly loos, loud music and random drunk people peeing on tents and it will be fab.

at the end of this month i am going to a wedding in aberdeen and i've booked the best suite in the hotel with it's own patio doors out into the gardens so if it's lashing with rain while in the tent i will close my eyes and think of that lol

anyways no much change with the weight, on week 20 i put on 1lb and then in week 21 i lost it again!

3 weeks on friday until the wedding so after the camping trip i am going to be on my bestest ever behaviour and try and get another 7lbs off and make it to my 2st - fingers crossed :)

WI week 18 & 19

well, week 18 wi (last week) i lost 1lb which was good as it was that week before totm when i always waver a bit :)

but this week I HAVE LOST 3 LBS WOOPWOOPWOOP meaning i've got my 3rd silver 7 and my 10% goal all while it's totm :):):)

i am soooo happy and pleased. it is taking me longer than some but it's coming off and that's what i want!!

anyways, yesterday i got my 1st inspection from the care commission and i was so nervous as i wasn't sure what to expect but it all went really good and she was very impressed with me and said i am doing fabby! i've been childminding for a few years but i didn't get my inspection last year as i was on maternity leave. so i can breathe and relax lol, my house is spotless and the weekend is ahead!

tonight we are going to the stockcars and hopefully amanda will be there and we can have a wee drink but yes just a wee one cos i'm saving myself for tomorrow ~ i'm going to see take that at hampden yippppeeeee canny wait :)

WI Week 17

gained 2lbs :/ mmm a bit less than i expeceted so not so bad.
i have been a bad girl lol

going to try my hardest this week to get the 2lb off i've gained and then be back to 2lb until 10%. if only i'd been good i'd be there already but hey ho that's how it goes ;)

Ohhh Dear........

Jeeeeezzzooooo my weeks going from bad to worse :(

After my sts on saturday I have just went from bad to worse, ma billys away working this week and i've been super good during the day but in the evenings i've ate my body weight (quite a lot) in junk!

Boredom that's what it is pure boredom!

Hopefully he might be coming back tomorrow and therefore help get me back on the straight and narrow and if he doesn't i'm gonna have to zip my mouth shut - if only!!

You know I feel total crap tonight and it's because i've been eating total crap but does it stop me NO IT DOESNAE!!!

I think this week will surely be a gain, let's just pray it's not a HUGE gain!

WI Week 16

I stayed the same this week! I am very pleased as it could have been a gain.

problem is ~ on saturday I got a bit pissed and was drinking lager and eating all sorts of crap mmmm

sunday we were away out all day and i had the hangover munchies and ate just a bit too much.

lecture to myself - MANDY, YOU HAVE 2LBS UNTIL 10% GOAL- DON'T EFF THIS UP!!!!

a wee pic of me and my friends, sheryll and amanda (getting a bit tipsy lol

well it's nearly over.......

the birthday arrived, the kids came from school and the grub got ate! I did well and had some sandwhiches and cake but all pointed :) PHEW!!!

i was trying to save some and claw back but you know i'm just doing the normal and eating my points and what will be will be :)

happy 7th birthday gary xxx

I've been a bad girl :(

yesterday was my sons birthday party at a new play area and I had every intention of being a very good girl and sticking to my points. well i failed! it all started when we left the house at 9.30am and i hadn't had breakfast ~ bad move! i got to the place and they did breakfasts and yip i had one! sausages, bacon, egg, black pudding, mushrooms, toast & tea and i bet there wasn't a can of fry light in sight!
don't even know the points that was in all that and i'm not even gonna count.
afterwards i ate rubbish all day, didn't have a lunch or dinner just junk. biscuits, crisps, chocolate, cake pretty much anything that was in my way.
___________________________________________

theres my line and i'm over it!
that was my first blow out in 14weeks and it's not gonna bring me down. i am cutting back 2 points every day (not loads but will help) and i'm gonna earn BP's all week by walking everywhere i possibly can. i am going to drink my 2 litres of water every day and fingers crossed i will undo some of the damage i've done.
i may not get my 3rd shiny 7 or my 10% next week but i will get them and soon!!
let the week commence, i've got my tracker planned to the last crumb, wish me luck xx

WI Week 15

Yipeeee I lost 1 lb :) really thought it was gonna be a sts or even a small gain this week.
I am so pleased!
Only 2lbs until my 10% hopefully get it next week although it's Garys birthday so we'll see!

2 days until WI

well i am having a totally crap week :(

have only gone over 1 day (yesterday) by a jammie dodger - 1.5pts, which i know is not major and i have some BP's from walking but it is TOTM and i am very bloated and retaining fluid. My rings are really tight today and last week they were falling off.

of course i have not helped matters by not drinking all my water GRRRRRR.

I have just bought a dress for a wedding i am going to on July 31st and it is a size 16 :0 I am fitting in to a 18 jeans just now but still a 18-20 top, so will I be able to fit it in time???

mmmm 10 weeks tomorrow, fingers crossed it will fit and i don't end up wearing a top and black trousers as usual!!

it's my gary's 7th birthday next wednesday, and he is having a birthday party on sunday at a huge new play area, i have got the eating part under control, been already to check it out and they have lovely baked potatoes.

the problem will be on wednesday when i have all the party food laid out for when him and a few friends come home for a little celebration. OMG!!! birthday cakes and sausage rolls and sausages - jeeeezo i think i'll go out for the day and get someone else to do it al lol xxx

WI Week 14

Weigh in on Saturday and I lost 1 lb :) very pleased for this week and only 3lbs to go until my 10%

I have joined another new challenge ~ new year new you challenge!
I really believe the challenges are what are making me stick to the plan as I don't want to have to email anyone that I have put weight on!
whenever I get to goal I'm gonna have to email someone every week to keep me on the straight and narrow lol :)

ran out of weight watchers bars eeeck! diet guru laura has got me some at her class and is posting them up!
I usually order from ww by phone but you have to buy in bulk and then they take about 10 days to be delivered, i'm not that organised lol.

well i think i'll have an early nite tonight i'm shattered, stayed up until after 1am, on the laptop, lethal things. I put loads of things on ebay ~username mandy6876~ incase anyone wants a nosey, including my ww scales which I have used once. I know there are people who cannot live without them but I just use ordinary ones!

well off to have dinner, ww pizza and ww chips, yum yum, who said healthy eating was boring :) xx

and some of my babies xx

Some pictures

Just thought I would add some pictures of my last night out on the p!ss.

ohhhhhh

another new name :-0 gggrrrrr

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

I have just been having a gander around the 5+ board reading peoples posts and there was one saying that someone now had under 5 stone to lose. I thought to myself awww how lucky, I can't wait until that's me.

Guess What........................

THAT IS ME!!!!
WOOP WOOP YIPPPEEEEEE :)

I have !only! 4 stone 10 pounds until target - still a fair amount but not as much as 5 pmsl! Yip I am a total rocket lol.

That has really cheered me up xxx

It's that week again!

Well, it is the week before TOTM! Or should that be the hardest week of the month. I am going to be good as gold and stay within points!
I have got tesco delivering tomorrow with all my weight watcher friendly goodies and with my week all planned out there is no reason for muck ups :)
So with me keeping in control let's hope the body doesn't let me down by retaining that nasty fluid which makes me sts every month!

WI Week 13

I've lost another 2lbs this week ~ YIPEEE Whoooop Whooooop I am sooooo happy!!

Only got 4lbs to go until my 10% goal!!

Not the best photo in the world. . . but is my face getting thinner ~ it better be lol

My wee Jay is still got the sickness bug and ma Billy is working today going through 100 cattle so god know when he'll be home!

I'm shattered had such a mad frantic week and now I feel like I could go and lie down until tomorrow.

Unfortunatly mothers don't have that privelage and we just have to get on with it.

I have a huge mound of sick washing to get through including a quilt :0 and i'm going to scrub the bugs right outta this house lol, hopefully earning some BP's along the way ;)

I've got Vernon 'the man' Kay on Radio 1 to help me through the morning cleaning.

Music should be good today as it's the Big Weekend in Swindon! Pity i'm in dull drizzly Scotland. Oh the days of festivals seem to be soooooooooooo long ago lol never mind I've got Take That to go see soon!

A wee update on my dog Gem, she's doing great living with aunty Leeann. It's very strange her not being in the house, everytime theres something dropped on the floor I go to shout for her to get it boohoo, but on a plus side I hoovered the stairs days ago and they're still like new!!1 Not a white hair in sight, which must be great for the wee ones skin xx

Thank Goodness It's Friday

What a day I had yesterday!!

I went to Asda and the weather was wild! I put baby Kerr in the trolley and away we went, but half way through the door I realised I had left a pair of jeans to be returned in the car. I turned round and went over to the car. I put the brake on the trolley and got the bag from the car. When I turned back round the trolley (WITH MY BABY IN IT) was getting blown across the path :O Oh My God!!! Me and another woman ran for him and thankfully he was fine, phew.....

I got home and the school had phoned, Gary had fallen in the playground and smacked the back of his head I was re-assured he was 100% fine but it was policy to phone parents if this ever happened.

Meanwhile at home I was sitting on the couch and Kerr was beside me when he decided to have a roll, luckily I was right there or he'd have been on the floor. Decided to move him into his baby nest thingy and he catapulted himself out of it and onto the floor - I reckon he'll be the stunt man of the family!

On a Thursday evening Gary has training with his gymnastics club - Carnegie Spartans. Billy came home to sit with the other 2 as afterwards I had a hair appointment. Half way through training they brought him out to me saying he was dizzy and confused!! I took him straight up to A&E where one particular nurse made me feel very guilty for taking him to gymnastics after bumping his head! I promise he was fine!!! After 1.5 hours in A&E he got the all clear and was allowed to go home with a leaflet on what to look out for.

Billy had to go out to check his cattle so away he went when we got home. Gary & Jay headed up to bed to watch TV as a treat after all the commotion.
About 10 mins later Gary came down to get a drink and I noticed red marks round both eyes! As he stood in front of me they started to swell and become blotchy, I immediately got the piriton out (which I had just replaced that day when at Asda!!) and gave him the highest dose, I phoned Billy and told him to get home. I then took his PJ top off and lumps started on his shoulders working it's way all over his arms. Straight on the phone to NHS Direct who were great, they explained that the piriton could take 2 hours to work and keep a close eye on his breathing and mouth. Thankfully it stopped spreading after reaching his legs.
Poor Gary, I then gave him a cool bath and got him sorted and kept him downstairs where I could watch him and he conked out on the couch. I wouldn't let him up to bed until I could see the blotches starting to disappear.
The only thing different that he had was a drink of Sprite Zero while on way home from hospital. He never has fizzy juice, just mostly water. The nurse on the phone thinks he had a reaction to the sweetners that are in the juice!!

Today all been well up until late afternoon. Poor Jay has been peeky after we picked up from school and has now been sick, must have a bug - a doddle compared to yesterday!
