happy and healthy

i had my weigh in today. feeling fab i must say. another 1.5lbs off yay!!!! half a lb till i've lost a stone. I have definitely started making wiser choices. even when having naughty treats. sunday we had pizza, and rather then having the whole thing i had 2 thirds instead  but i also stuck to all my points and only ate my activity points. so i didn't touch my extra weeklies  on friday i helped out friends move house and as a thank you one of the parents made us a curry as a thank you. so i had a small portion that pointed well and i was actually full!!!

today was also my fitness test at work and i am happy to say i passed with ease  last year i failed it on the first try and then really struggled with the second attempt (but still passed) this time i felt i could have carried on (bleep test) and recovered fairly quickly. going to attempt the advanced one next year. Its something to aim to

so anyway a great start to my new week hopefully i can keep up the positivity. hope i have spread a little to you all too

big hugs all

So next week i have my fitness test for work! ahhhhhhhh! i failed it last year and had to retake, but i was ill and ended up diagnosed with vertigo so passed when i retook it. but still dread it. so today i did my usual bike to and from work. aprox 1.5 miles to work. then decided to go swimming so biked the 2 miles there :) very proud of myself, knackered now tho! lol

so the diet is going ok. i've lost 12lbs so far, but had a bit of a blip with summer sundae. enjoyed myself then got back on to the diet. so doing ok. miss cheese and cakes and bread. and i really really miss just eating a whole bag of sweets. however i know that this is the best thing i'm doing and i'm positive i can do it.

so goals now. fitness test next week. lose 17lbs by christmas. and get quicker at swimming!

tired but happy

So 6 weeks in and I've lost 11.5lbs. I was being really strict on WW and not eating any extra points. but this week i decided to be a bit more relaxed and not worry if i go over a little bit as i am doing plenty of activity.  and this week i lost 5.5lbs


however it is summer sundae this weekend and i had thought I'll just ignore this weekend. then i checked how many points my fave stalls food is (Pie Minister) and oh dear....18pts for a pie. that's not including the mash or gravy! then there is the alcohol I'd planned on drinking....i think i may gain this week :( must do lots of dancing to burn off the calories!


My biggest problem at the moment is how tired I'm getting. Most nights i get in to bed by 9.30. and its a struggle to stay up that late! I'm wondering if this is a side effect from my new medication. I'm not letting it stop me doing what i want though. went for a bike ride around Rutland Water on Monday, played tennis with my sister on Tuesday, today I'm doing nothing. feeling a bit run down. 


roll on the weekend!
