Monday 8th June

Kids are off to school/college soon. It is quite sunny out, not sure how warm it is though.

I had Slim Fast for breakfast and am wondering do I really want one for lunch (I need to make a decision as it's now 11.10am and nearing lunchtime)?
Hmmmm.... it's now 11.34am and I still have not made my mind up.

12.05pm - I've had the Slim Fast already (Vanilla mixed with the Cafe Latte one - made with skim milk).See - here it was.
Am wondering what to have for tea tonight?

My friend Su has lost almost 10 lbs so far on Slim Fast and well, that made me think I should give it another go, - properly. On the other hand 2 people in work did all that and gave up and are now doing Weight Watchers/Slimming World and both have lost just over 10 lbs each eating nice foods, yummy foods.

HHHmmm....makes me think, then WHY would I do the Slim Fast thing and wish I was eating nice foods and losing weight? Why suffer and have to have 2 shakes a day for weeks on end?

Oh I an't make my mind up. Well, today anyway I have done the Slim Fast thing. Tomorrow, who knows!

Just popping to the kitchen to think about what to make for tea (got to plan ahead)

2.30pm - have made tasty mince for tea (spag bol)...mince with courgette, onion, peppers and tomatoes. Decided to have mine early but without the spagetti - Mmmmmm...it was nice.

10.30pm - Had some liquorice in the evening (really wanted some, so got some from Tesco). Apart from that, have been pretty good with food today.

 TUESDAY 9th June 2009

I walked to work this morning again and it was really nice (sunny). Work was ok. Fell asleep early evening on the couch (been doing this a lot lately)?
Ok on doet today.

J had his friend Stacey round for the day - they got takeaway in the evening (no fair!)

 Wed 10th June

All I ever seem to get is junk mail these days (snail mail and email). There's loads being put into my folder then I get all excited and damn, it's junk mail. Junk mail sucks.
Work was ok, I was in a very very ratty mood in the morning, afternoon was slightly better, much better.
Am going dancing tonight
Am being quite good on diet but can feel myself wanting a 'binge'. You know, chocolates and cream cakes and chocolates and all that. I'll try now to. When I'm in a grumpy mood I just want to eat whatver I want when I want.

Am v v v pleased to day that J got offered a place in college again this September - yippeeeee, I am so pleased for him - he is very relieved too.

 Thursday 11th June 2009

Had a good day in work, quite enjoyable in parts! Was okish on diet I guess (not!) actually what did I eat today?
Breakfast - Slim Fast
Lunch - Slin Fast
Tea savoury mince
Eve - ermmm.....some fruit loaf with margarine, a Slim Fast bar 99 cals and 2 bowls of Sugar Puffs (not had these for YEARS)
Ah well, there you go, not a binge as such but I suppose could have done better. Keep saying I am going to avoid the sweet stuff, see what that does to my weight.
Am in work tomorrow as per usual. R is off to the outward bound course till Sunday night. J has his 2nd driving lesson on Saturday. I am off to the Unity Theatre tomorrow night, ushering again - the play is Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf..........................

 Saturday 13th June 2009

Went to the theatre last night to User for the play, we had a really great time. I was in the theatre upstairs collecting tickets and Vikki collected tickets downstairs, then when we had done that we sat down and enjoyed the play. It was quite a long night (2 intervals) but really good.

It is nice and sunny out which is great for R and her class as they are all away at Oaklands till tomorrow night hopefully have a great time doing allosrts of fun things. J had his 2nd driving lesson today. Neil and I have no plans as such (yet) and it's 9.45 am. Time for breakfast I think!

OOOOhhhh POOP, I gained back that pound when I got weighed yesterday - grrrrrrrrrrrrr.............................................................
Also my pink shorts came via Ebay (addidas light pink shorts) for Race For Life. They fit (thank goodness) but I don't like thr yacky roll of fat that is above the waistband - I want it GONE. Actually I think it's either lots of rolls all rolled into one or one very big one that goes from the top of my legs upt to my boobs? DAMN.

2.30pm - just did 20 minutes on the treadmill, not running, but different speeds with a tiny bit of running (ie 3 minutes!). Must go on treadmill later tonight too.

Had Slim Fast for my lunch. Had a chat with my friend Sue who has been doing the Slim Fast for 3 weeks or so and lost over 10 lbs. She looks great you can tell she has lost weight. I know she has been sticking to it really well with only the occasional slight blip.

Neil did slim fast a few years ago and lost 13 lbs in just over a month, I am going to give it a go. Starting NOW
See how photos can give you the wrong impression. Ok the colours are altered slightly on Photoshop, but other than that - no other alterations. I don't look like I need to lose Lbs do I??????, well, unfortunately I AM 28 lbs overweight for my height, and it's all round my middle (see progress pic link on front page). Ah well......moan and self pity whinge over (for the moment)!!!!!!!!

6.30pm - Have not heard from R, so hopefully that means she is having a good time. She forgot to take a 'teddy' or other soft toy, I hope she didn;t feel the odd one out if all the girls took a cuddly. R has a little pink dog called Pinky who she has had for years and loves her

7.30pm - yes I have been on the computer all this time! Should make an effort and go on treadmill (nah). Anything on telly? (nah). Can;t eat (no I can't), can't have a glass of wine (wellllllllll.....I so shouldn't), should go out for a walk with Neil (but what if R telephones). Am getting backache sitting at the computer desk? What a fun evening. I would drag Neil out for a drink (ie the pub) if we had any ££££....but we don't (is not particularly my 'cup of tea' anyway. Cinema would have been nice (again short of cash). This is going to be a loooooooooooooong evening.

 Sunday 14th June

Yeah my little baby is coming home tonight (6pm), can't wait to hear how it went.
Neil has taken J to pick up his girlfriend, she is coming here. I am tidying the house and cleaning. I hung a new picture in the hall. Actually I have not finished painting the hall yet and now can't decided whether to stay with the same colour or change it again? At the moment it's creamy yellow (one of my fave colours). Ended up doing really badly on 'diet' last night - really badly. but hey, today is a new day and I shall keep at it.

5.20pm and we are off to collect R soon from the school. The coach should be arriving back at the school around 6pm, can't wait! DOne really well so far on diet - will have a nice diet yogurt later tonight and that is all, will aim to go on treadmill if I have the energy.

Well done to Janey for completing the Race For Life today, I think she is fantastic to have run the whole race.......WELL DONE.
