WI Results Week 8

Hi all! I stayed the same this week! My own fault for failing to track. I don't know what got into my head. I think when my weeklies rejuvenate after my WI the previous evening, I think I've more than enough to cover the following day or two so there's no urgency to fill it in now and I can fill it in the following day or so. But then it gets to the middle of the week and I can assume the weeklies are gone and sure why start tracking now sure my WI is in a few days. Not correct mentality at all, just laziness really I think at the beginning anyway. So I must make sure regardless to track there and then no matter what, and as per usual to step up the exercise! I've also started a yoga class on a Tuesday, so at least that another activity ;-) And am loving my horse riding at the moment, am so glad I found my way back to it. And hopefully as I get better and stronger I might lose a pound or two along the way haha :-)

I hope y'all are keeping well x

Valentines Day :-)

Hi all! Well did everyone have a nice Valentine's day?! And get spoiled rotten by the OH (other half!)?! :-) Well myself and my OH decided we were going to splash out and get a take out and watch a movie for Valentines Day. So that's what we did! I had a personal pizza from pizza hut and some nachos. Now I think I'm over my weeklies by about 10 pp, but couldn't be 100% sure. But you know - I'm owning the fact that I'm only human, and you do have to live your life! So I'm up on the scales or STS (stay the same) this week I won't mind. I'm never going to be perfect every week, and why would you want to be?! You have to splash out and celebrate sometimes, but once you get back on track afterwards you'll be fine in the long run. And as I keep saying I'm in this for the long haul, so as long as I stick to my WW plan 90% of the time, I will certainly be celebrating life with those I love on certain occasions. Within reason of course, I'm not going to suddenly pig out on an extra large pizza with everything! But have something of what I like, enjoy it and not over fill myself. As this is a life change and not a diet, there will of course be weeks where we are up and sts, sure if we just kept losing for the rest of our lives there'd be nothing left of us! ;-) There'll even be weeks where we should definitely have lost, but our bodies are not having it, and that's just the way it is, but those weeks will be few and far between hopefully. I've been walking at lunchtime every day for 40 mins and was good for the rest of the week. So watch this space!! :-)

Now the evening before Valentines Day the OH had said he hadn't gotten me anything, which is fine, and we usually just exchange cards and make a nice dinner. But I knew that he was looking into getting some new earphones. So I did some research and found some that had good reviews and were not too expensive. Now as it turns out, the 'over the head' earphones are very square and my OH's head is quite round, and we both nearly passed out laughing when he tried them on! So as it turns out, I now have a new set of earphones haha! :-) So this is still the evening before Vals day and he said he felt bad that he hadn't gotten me anything and decided that he was going to head off and make me a card. I know, so funny! So he pops his head into this sitting room a few minutes later 'do we have any blue tack?!' So I mentioned where we might have some blue tack. Then another few minutes later 'do we have any of those long white bendy things?!' No, we do not have any pipe cleaners! What are you planning to make with blue tack and pipe cleaners haha?! So he comes back in and is finished apparently, but I cannot have it until the morning. Right so, no problem, I can wait till the morning :-) So we're going to bed and he says 'I couldn't find stuff to make you anything, so I haven't made a card!' Ha ha ha, and after throwing me off the scent with all the questions! So funny! So I said again that it was grand, coz sure I wasn't expecting anything anyway! So that was that. Now I decided that I would get up and make a hot breakfast on Valentines Day morning (amazing wife that I am!). So while he was out walking the dog at 6am, I got up and went down to start breakfast, and when I opened the fridge, what was hiding in there only a card and a bottle of my favorite perfume!!! Amazing! It has to be said, he is the master of deception!! And absolutely hilarious! Thank you darling! xx

I hope you all had a great Val's Day and are doing well on your weight loss journeys!

After the Weekend!

Well what a roller coaster weekend I had, food wise! For the first Friday in I don't know how long, I didn't have any work or shopping etc to do. So myself and the OH decided we'd have pizza and a movie, just to celebrate Friday night! :-) Now we're still off the booze since Christmas, which is at least something! Because I dread to think of the extra points I could've clocked up if I had've added in a bottle or two of the auld vino ;-) So it turns out my pizza ( yes, mine alone!) was 26 points! Jesus, Mary, Joseph & all the Saints, I nearly passed out with the shock, and why I only pointed it AFTER eating it is madness! I obviously didn't want to know in advance, but I'll definitely bite the bullet in future and check before consuming item :-) So Saturday brought an Indian, Chicken Korma, rice & a nann. I looked it up online and the general consensus is 15 for the chicken korma, 13 for the rice and 7 for 85g of a nann. So needless to say,my weeklies are well gone! Now yesterday, I got up, spent a few hours cleaning the house and then made brunch. 2 bacon medallions, a poached egg, a slice of reduced fat cheese, a tbsp ketchup and an english muffin. Yep, you guessed it, I made myself a bacon mcmuffin at home, for 11 points :-) Later on I had a cookie with a cuppa for 3 points, and then I went horse riding, came home and made cauliflower soup and fruit salad for the week, had a bath and then went to bed. Totally forgot about dinner haha! So at least I reined it in after Friday and Saturday night ;-)
Am now prepared for the week, and am looking forward to the routine the week brings :-)

I hope you all have a great week too :-)
