All the kids went back to school yesterday and it was sooooo quiet here!
I still have Elliot til Wednesday (when he starts nursery) but he was at playgroup yesterday and today so i was all alone but doing very well motivation wise!
I have hit the point now where i keep myself busy all day so i don't pop to the fridge for a snack, although i am finding it harder now as i feel as if i have kick started my metabolism and so after about half an hour after eating i feel hungry again - which i am really not used to.
I suppose that is good - i had a bad week last week and felt I wouldn't lose this week as i only lost 1lb on Monday i was getting a little discouraged, but since going back to school i have realised how much healthier i am - no huffing and puffing up the hill and i don't sit on the settee with a cuppa as soon as i get back a i am so tired! :)
So looking forward to WI now, no gain no pain! LOL!
almost finished the back to school challenge that i am on and doing well on the Christmas challenge too, so chin up!
see you all soon,
Gx

Hello strangers!
I know....it's been ages since I wrote on here!
Spent last week in Norfolk in a caravan with the kids and Al and it was fantastic!!!
got up at half six every other day and did a 10 - 15 min jog then a 40 - 60 min walk on the beach and even did 30 min sea swimming as well as a couple of sessions in the baths! - How is that for dedication? LOL!
Was a bit worried at first as we went on Sat morning and my WI was the monday after so i took my scales - and (I can still hardly believe it) but i lost 7lb - most i have ever lost in a week, then on the WI after I got home I thought, here we go this will be bad - time of the month, fish and chips, ice cream and a chinese on hol cannot be good! but i had lost another 2lb!!!
Feeling great and can now fit into my old stuff from 3 years ago!
So, now after 2 successful weeks I am flagging a bit, feel myself getting a bit cocky and am having wedges and a slice or two of pizza from the take away. Thos week I am 14st 9lb so watch this space - as I may be on here on Monday moaning about a gain!!!!
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE x G

well almost .....
to my 14's!
Got 2.5 lb to lose then i have broken the 14 barrier!
Seems silly but it makes all the difference to hit a milestone like this - it's what keeps me going. It makes me understand how the kids feel when they get a sticker at school, it gives you an enormous sense of achievement and spurrs you on to do more!
i have 2 7lb marks so far and can't wait til i get to my 10% - that will be massive! :)
anyway better find soomething to do with the kids, they've had a video and are now officially driving me mad!
Love to all G x

HELLLLOOOO!
Well it's been a while since I blogged - been busy with all the boys birthdays, three down one to go!
Had my third WI today and I am now 15st 2.5lb - YES I lost my first stone and a little more!!!
I was suprised as on Sat I succumbed to a barbecue and went about 10 points over my allowance!
I also went to Asda yesterday and saw some sale clothes and decided to have a try. Anyone who knows me will undersand I find this totally depressing - but lo and behold I am now the proud owner of 3 size 16 tops and size 14 dress and jeans ( I do have to squeeze a bit for the jeans but i am normally a size 18)
Anyway got to go and eat a slice of birthday cake for breakfast then do 100 crunches!!! :)
Wish me luck, G x

2 down 2 to go
Well in the last week I have had two of my kids birthdays and I have another two o the 4th and 12 th of August.
I was very good especially yesterday as it was a play area with a buffet, and there were my favourite - sausage rolls!!!
Anyway I resisted and had two egg mayo sarnies and a packet of walkers crisps!
So I'm struggling with my exercise as the kids are off school - usually Iwalk them to and from school which is half an hour, but with there being no school i find myself struggling to find somewhere to walk to!
oh god fighting 5 and 2 year old! go to go

LIFE IS SO UNFAIR BUT SISTERS ARE WORSE!
As a laugh earlier, me and my sister - who is 5'6" and 7st 7 approx! deciced to work out how mant points she uses in an average day.
OH MY BL**DY GOD!
She worked out to use something silly like 54 points on an average day and i think that is so unfair as i had chinese last week and put on 1.5lbs!
It just goes to show metabolism is everything!!! :-(

hi so the result onf my monday weigh in was 15 st 9 1/2 which i am pleased with although i am obviously a bit miffed that i could have been 15 8 without the chinese!
So anyway - the trampolining and walking i did yesterday was good but i have damaged my back now and can't walk - which is not good in the hols with 5 kids to entertain, out for dinner tonight so we will see how i do!
