Weight Loss

           *-4lb*

 

What a beautiful day it is sunny and I have lost another 4lb thats 12lb so far feeling really good, hope I can lose 2lb or more next week then it will be a stone but if I can lose a 1lb or 2lb each week from now I will be pleased. I think I have done well this week as I had an Indian meal on my birthday so it just goes to show you can still spoil yourself now and again. Still not drinking enough water though and I will have to find some form of exercise to do to tone up all the flabby bits and help with the weight loss! I feel really good in myself at the moment I am not feeling bloated anymore or getting out of breath as much also the hot sweats have stopped which I was putting down to my blood pressure will have to go see the nurse and see if it is ok now. Think I will have weetabix or oat-so-simple for my breakfast and make something nice for my dinner to take to work, I wish I had started this diet when I first said I would I might be half way to target by now but at least I have started now and I intend to stick to it until I have reached my goal (can't wait for that day to come).

Going to have my breakfast and have a shower and have a nice long walk with the dogs and John see if I can walk some more weight off lol, then get ready for work it is really quiet now the peak has finished so can have a bit of a chin wag inbetween calls all the calls will be about pensions and corporation tax now as paye deadline has passed. Still need to get a job nearer home will have a look on internet when I've done everything else that needs to be done.

Anyway better make a move wish I could stop on here all day but alas I need to go to work to pay the bills. Will update soon on progress of diet.

Bye for now...

Happy Birthday to me

                               

It's my birthday today and no work (yipee) going out for lunch today to a lovely pub in the village, will try and be good as I have stuck to my diet all week, hope they do jacket potatoes and salad pubs usually do but saying that went for a pub lunch at work and ordered salmon salad it was expensive but sounded nice and thought it would good for my diet as they didn't do jacket potatoes what a disappointment the salad was limp didn't even get a full tomato and that was dry, 3 peices of cucumber, a sliver of red onion a few croutons (call that a salad) my collegues got the same amount and theirs was a side salad and the salmon that was supposed to be fresh wasn't nice at all it was tough and pale not like salmon should be (I think they should change their chef). The manageress came over to clear the table and asked if everything was alright (big mistake) well I told her exactly what I thought so she offered me a dessert (not a good idea am dieting) or a drink! no thankyou I just wanted to get back to work lol we had opened a tab for the meals and drinks so when John (hubby) went to pay they charged us far too much so he went back to the till and complained they had only charged us for our collegues meals as well and they had paid cash for theirs but because they had the same table number it all went on our bill????? so as you may be aware we will NOT be going back there again. Anyway despite that I have managed to stick to the diet hope I have lost more weight when I get weighed on Tuesday I still need to drink more water though.

Going to have a shower and have some breakfast weetabix and skimmed milk or oat so simple and skimmed milk or maybe spoil myself as its my birthday and have turkey rashes and ryvitas doesn't sound very appertising but I quite like it (just as well really) lol.

See you later and once again for me!!!

Bye for now

I Feel Good

              

 

Hi, Another day on my diet I'm really proud of myself and stuck to it not cheated once, even though it's only 3 days I feel better not bloated like I have been feeling over the last few weeks. I have taken my own cooked meals to work with me as we have a kitchen with a microwave it is easy to warm up so I'm thankful for that at least being able to have home cooked food and I know what has gone into them, had half a low fat pizza from Tesco yesterday when I got in from work only worked out at 3 weight watchers points but what a let down it was horrible (not getting anymore of those)..Ate plenty of fruit in between meals which sees me through to the next meal which is good the only thing I'm not doing is drinking plenty of water will have to make an effort well it's not much of an effort as we have the big water bottles at work so it is nice and cool. I will have to take the dogs on longer walks and get more exercise. I am also keeping a diary and writing down everything I eat and how I am feeling then if I have a bad weigh in I can look back and see where I have gone wrong. Just going to plan what I am going to make for my dinner at work I will look through my weight watchers books and magazines and find a nice recipe then look in the freezer and see what is in there have lots of things in so it wont be too bad to make something nice and healthy.

Hubby said he was going to join me on this diet but he doesn't seem to have started yet he has been eating chocolate and sweets as well as the nice meals and fruit and veg, "tut tut" no will power. LOL. it is now 9:15 and I am still sat here in my dressing gown I think I had better go and get myself dressed and have breakfast of Oat so simple and a banana (good eh). and the dogs keep looking at me for their usual morning walk.

If anyone has any dieting tips I would be grateful or any nice gentle exercise I could do.

More later

Diet Started

 

Hi, Just to let you know I have started my diet on Tuesday at long last, not been on for a while been busy at work but should quieten down by next week hopefully but still the same travelling, been asked to stop on after the end of the month as it was only a temporary contract I will stay until I find somthing nearer home no good turning down the money if I havent anything else yet!

Went to the quiz night on Monday and won again thats two weeks on the trot we have won  it's my cleaver hubby and step son-in-law they are very good its general knowledge and music quiz they do know their stuff.

Need to jump in the shower and take dogs for their morning walk then have my breakfast then look to see what I'm going to have for lunch and dinner, lunch will be at work about five o'clock and dinner will be when I get home at eleven thirty wrong time to eat I know but dont have time to have lunch before I go to work unless I make something I can eat in the car. I'm following the weight watchers diet and doing the no count so I cannot have bread so sandwiches are out and there isn't much else you can eat in the car while travelling at least hubby is driving. If anyone has any suggestions I would be greatful.

Will have to go now got a lot to do before I set off to work back soon.

Another Day At Work

               

                                       

  

Hi, What a miserable morning it is this moning it hasn't stopped raining all night and it's still raining I'm not that bothered though working today I'd rather go to work when it's raining and be off when it's sunny.

Good news got the car back yesterday and it's running like a dream and it didn't cost as much as we thought which is good news, just needs a wash and clean inside and out.

Must take the dogs for a walk now before going off to wok.

Just got back from taking dogs the field is really boggy and the rain is still falling but never mind going to work soon, the ducks and ducklings are out in force and been for their breakfast even the rabbits are out this morning which is unusual.

Got to go now back later.

 

Sun

       

    What can I say the sun has decided to come out it's stopped raining see what a bit of moaning can do lol

Wrong again

                               

HI

Well they got it wrong again weather man said it was going to be a warm and sunny day today well all I can say is WRONG it is overcast and raining no sun at all I think he was telling us what yesterday was like. Well I have to take the dogs for their morning walk looks like I will have to put on my coat again or I'll get wet.

Got to find a new job nearer home it is really starting to get to me all the travelling and we are very busy at the moment call after call after call.. It will quieten down after the end of may but I hope I have another job by then (with a bit of luck).

Still havn't got the car back waiting for the engine code?? dread to think how much it's going to cost, dont think hubby wants to take the courtesy car back as its a corsa and quite nippy on the country roads and ours is an astra estate and a lot older, will think about changing it next year.

I have decided I am definately going to join weight watchers on monday (thats if I can find it)  I think that is the only way I will get started I know when I get going I will stick to it and lose it but its just getting going and the first 2 weeks.

Just watching the duck protecting her babies we have thrown bread out of the kitchen window and she is stood guarding them while they eat and a big crow came down and she chased it off (what a good mum) I'd love to sit and watch them but need to get things done so will sign off now and be back tomorrow..

oh what a lovely day

                    

Hi, What a lovely day it is sun is shining and it is warm outside taken dogs out for their morning walk and it is really  nice out there. More ducklings 21 this time to one mum do you think thats possible or do you think she has adopted some. V ery busy at work at the moment phones never stopped all night last night, hopefully will find something nearer home soon hate all the travelling and not getting home until 11:30 it makes it a very long day, and its the wrong time to eat when I get home but I have decided I am going to start my diet today havn't had any breakfast yet so I will have some cereal and make something nice for my luch and dinner which I have to eat at work.

Picking the car up today I hope got to ring the garage and see if it is ready and how much we owe them. Anyway will have to go.

Bye Diane xx

Another Day

Hiya, havn't updated for a few day's not much been happening just going to work coming home, watching telly going to bed back to work etc. Weather not up to much its been raining most of the weekend today is dry but cloudy, the sun will come out when we have to go to work it usually does.

Hopefully get the car back tomorrow (fingers crossed) a bulb went on the dash where it tells you the time and radio station etc and we didn't have the code for the radio so it is costing us £15 to get the code what  a rip off, better make sure we write it down just in case we need it again...

Ducklings running about all over the place now fed mum and 13 babies this morning, the mum that had 10 is now down to 9 poor thing it upsets me when they dont survive but thats life I suppose, you see dead pheasants, rabbits & badgers in the road but thats what country life is all about.

Definately going on diet or I will struggle when the weather gets warm so I think I will start asap, hubby wants to lose a few pounds so it will make it easier for me to stick to a diet, but what has he made us for breakfast today a sausage and tomato sandwich, I suppose I could have said no but it was too tempting not much willpower at the moment.

Well can't stop on here all morning better get some housework done hate coming home to an untidy house!!

Bye for now Diane xx
