wardrobe refunction!

Following on from my slightly embarrassing streaking at the gym I have now got my new swimming costume. Used it for the first time this morning and although it feels a little snug (it is a smaller size) it did at least keep my boobs fully covered! It also helped to pull my tummy in, so not all bad!

I'm on half term this week and am finding it very difficult to be active, every time I think about going for a walk it starts to rain and I'm sorry but i don't need to walk in the rain! It is on days like these that i wish that i had a) a dog or b) a partner to walk with, it might be just me but i feel a bit uncomfortable just walking around on my own.

Ah well, hopefully my less than active week wont have too much bearing on my WI this week x

wardrobe malfunction :O$

oh dear oh dear, went swimming this morning, nice day i thought, why not. So, swimming away, did an hour in the pool and all was well, until i was getting out of the water. That was when i noticed a cool feeling in the boob area and upon checking discovered that my costume had sagged quite dramatically and i was showing my more than ample bosom to the people in the Jacuzzis!

Time for a new swim suit i think lol

Came home and have now ordered a new one in a smaller size - hoorah! Is this an NSV? I'm gonna say yes and put a positive spin on my accidental exposure :O)

Fantastic NSV

Went out last night, first time since NYE, and saw some friends I hadn't seen since that night. Nothing new there, I am incredibly bad at keeping in touch with people, however the first thing one of my friends said was "Oh my god, you've shrunk by half! I almost didn't recognise you!!"
Needless to say I felt fantastic for the rest of the evening :O)

Thanks guys!

Got the LK off in time for WI!

Well I approached the scales still feeling 'heavy', could still feel the LK tugging at my waistline but hoorah, they must have fallen off as I stepped on the scales because I managed a reasonable 2lb loss :O)

Good luck this week everyone x

Lead Knickers Day!

Why oh why oh why???????

Every Sunday since I joined WW do I feel like I'm wearing lead knickers?????

I know that it's because it's WI tomorrow but I just can't seem to help it. To report on my week, it has been fine. Even managed to eat all my points most days, which is not like me at all. Exercised everyday, including today with an hour in the pool. Don't usually swim on a Sunday but due to wearing the lead knickers thought I had better make an effort. Luckily as the LK are only in my mind I didn't sink without trace!

Joined the NYNY challenge this week and finally took some measurements, scary. Have decided to measure monthly just to keep myself motivated, wish I had taken them at the start of my journey, but hey ho you live and learn!

Anyway have a good week all and I will be back tomorrow with the result of LKD (Lead Knicker Day)!

Mmmmm Graze

Had my weekly Graze box today and it was delish!

Came in at 7.5pts but was well worth it! Got fresh pink grapefruit and oranges, dates, walnuts and pumpkin seeds and a nice little helping of bbq almonds. Really nice as a change from carrot sticks!

I know they are a bit pricey but i think i will keep it up as weekly treat :O)

a loss is a loss is a loss

After last weeks fantastic loss I have only lost 1/2 a pound this week, but unlike the last time I had a small loss I am not being down about it, but staying positive, any loss is a step in the right direction.
So, onwards and upwards or should that be downwards?? lol

Good luck one and all, hope you have a good week :O)

p.s. roll on Wednesday, next Graze box being delivered, a little mid week treat to break the monotony!

NSV's :O)

Went shopping for a skirt for our leavers prom at school (my form were leaving and they bullied me into a skirt as I didn't actually own one!) Anyway, tried on a 24 and it was a bit roomy, so I thought what the hell and tried a 22 and.... lovely fit! Can't believe it, not worn 22 anything for years!
Then to top it off loads of nice comments at the prom, especially from the kids which was really nice - verged on tears for most of the evening tbh, mainly as my 'babies' were all grown up and leaving school but also as their comments about my weight loss were really nice and kind. Restored my faith in teenagers I can tell you!

1st Graze Box

Having fallen for the hype and ordered a Graze box, it arrived today. Well..... it was OK actually, little bit more points wise than I normally have for lunch at 7 points but it was very nice. I had fresh pineapple, US nut mix - almonds, pecans and brazils and a Sm portion of pepper cashews. Not what I would normally choose for lunch but tasty and different all the same!
Only getting one a week as a change from houmous and carrot sticks, so I think I will stick with it for now.

Just thought I would let you know :O)

Swimming and Hair Dye

I dyed my hair on Saturday, nothing drastic, just a dark brown to cover my grey. Now I'm not a vain person and i have resisted the lure of the dye until now, mainly because my mum says if I look old then that means that she is old! Even at 39 I like to wind my mother up!

Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet as my form at school were badgering me, and as they leave later this week I thought i might give it a go - well it is an unqualified success, lots of nice comments etc., however I forgot about the effect that swimming would have so it was with some trepidation that I hit the pool this morning and HOORAH i did not leave a dark brown trail of dye in the water behind me, i did not come out of the pool with green hair and I did not leave great clumps of hair blocking the plug hole in the shower!

Not sure I am going to maintain this hair dying routine, i am uber lazy when it comes to hair care but at least for this week i wont have any grey! :O)

Monday 4 May 2009

Hoorah!

Blimey, after two torturous weeks of only losing 1/2lb total my body has decided to give in to the fact that i am on a diet and I've lost 6lbs this week!
I am over the ruddy moon and although i was hoping for a loss i never expected it to be soooo much

Anyway, back to more mundane things, I have finally decided to check out the Graze Craze and have ordered my first box, mainly because it was free! Not coming til Wednesday so we will see, I'm sure i will get something i don't like even after carefully rating every product!
