Monday 28th September

STRESS....................... Can't stand stress in the mornings. It's 7.30am and R is complaining that she feels sick and does not want to go to school. This is a pattern (ie most days) and she is fine.

Getting weighed this morning.

Well I lost another pound which is good (slow but good), making a loss of 4 and a half pounds so far. We had a nice time at the Slimming World party. No one dressed up 60's style though! We had a quiz, party food, music and we had a go at hula hoops (I was okish - how on earth do you keep them up for so long???????).

SO

Weight today - 10 st 9 lbs (149 lbs)
Loss this week - 1 lb
Loss so far - 4.5 lbs

JUDITH - Oh WOW she managed to lose 3.5 lbs this week making 12 lbs altogether which is FANTASTIC

We (Neil and the kids and me are oging to go for a walk soon, yes I guess it will be West Kirby! Actually this last week I have not been walking so am going to make a big effort this week.

Am going out for a meal with people from work tomorrow to the Anchor at Irby village. There's 8 of us going. I shall be super good on diet (and NO alcohol), I can choose a nice steak and jacket potato and salad or something like that. Can't think what to wear tomorrow night????? Also since the meal is at 6.30pm I am aiming to go onto the dance class which is just around the corner, after it (8.15pm to 10.30pm) . I so love doing the dancing and find it very relaxing and fun. I prefer the faster dances though to the slower ones.
One of the dances we do a lot - we all like this one!
We always ask for this one when we need a workout! I learnt this one really quite quickly, I love doing this one!

Haven't eaten a great deal today as have sore throat and am aching. It's 8.20pm but feels later. Going to watch a bit of chill out telly and then bed I think. R is having a sleepover (only 2 girls coming) for her birthday and I have started collecting some stuff for it as it is to be a scary one (not a repeat of last years!!!. Have a look at the around 12th October last year to see what I mean!!!!! It was HELL...................................

Work tomorrow as per usual. We did not go for a walk tonight as I felt too cold and achy, never mind, we can aim to go tomorrow night.

 Wed 30th September

Work, half day. Fell asleep in the afternoon for 2 hours. Walked up to the village at 5.30pm, met 5 people from work for a meal which was lovely, after the meal at 8.45pm I walked round to the Village church hall to do dancing which was on till 10.30pm - am home now and knackered!

 Thursday 1st October

HAd my eyes checked in work (was a patient whilst working at same time)! It was my 3 monthly check (after having the diabetic laser treatment and thankfully all is well, the fluid has settled - next check up in 3 months. Got to go home a bit earlier as eyes were v blurred (dilating drops)

Had reasonably healthy tea (I do not want chocolate I do not want chocolate). Getting weighed in work in the morning but do not think I have lost any, in fact may have gained a bit????? Neil has taken J out in the car for a drive (J driving) and R went with them - I am here on my own - peaceful!

 Friday 2nd OCtober

Did not get weighed in work this morning as the nurse who weighs me was off. Work was ok, glad when 5pm came though. Am going dancing tonight (2 hours). R wants to go to the candle factory tomorrow, so that is what we are doing plus we got to go look for kitchen flooring at some point.

J is off to an open day at Chester University tomorrow.

Ohhhhhhh the time to Hayling Island is getting nearer, if I want to lose more lbs I had better make more of an effort hadn't I. Also I need to do MORE exercise eg like go on the treadmill and go for more walks as have not been for many lately. - tried R's halloween wig on HEHE!!!!!!!
Neil says to me every now and then "Why don't you dye your hair black"? Well, this is why I won't dye my hair black!!!!! DO I want to look like a witch (or worse still Ozzy Osbourne - how UGLY is he - VERY!)

Well, had better go scrub this eyeliner off and get my dancing shoes on!

 Saturday 3rd October

Work is doing a Christmas play again this year. One of the nurses does a script (usually a spoof) anyway, I am a munchkin! I have the orange dungarees, green t-shirt and stripey socks!!!!!!

R is whinging she does not want to go out (as per usual).

We bought kitchen flooring (only £400) BRILLIANT! Am totally pleased with it, they coming to fit it in a week to 10 days.

Where we had lunch today, our fave cafe in Heswall Hills. I had a BLT with tons of crispy salad (no butter - ie healthier). Did loads of painting in afternoon, I painted the kitchen skirting boards and the kitchen door. All I have to do now is hall skirting and picture rail and up the stairs and a few window sills. Got fab paint (is very good, one that dad recommended) Johnstones paint. Dries super glossy hard finish (not like other glosses). IF you dig your nails (as you might, you know, the nail son your hand) in it when it's super dried -it does not make a mark WHATSOEVER. Can't think why I never got this paint ages ago? How sad am I that I am SO pleased about a tin of paint!!!!!!
