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!!! :-(

15st 9 1/2

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!
Love Gx

Really pleased!

well i was really uncomfortable after all that chinese and then was up most of night with my daughter vomiting - there are only the two eldest boys who haven't had it yet!
Anyway got weighed straight away this morning and hadn't gained but well prepared for it to happen over the next few days so just been for a half mile jog which turned into a 3/4 mile one! see - chinese is good!
I'm having a 1 point fruity breakfast and getting straight back to business!
Just a quickie See ya later
Love me x

PIG!

Oh well, I just had my chinese and at first i was all happy and it was yummy.... but the trouble is that when you first start eating healthily you forget that your portions have become smaller, so inevitably me and Al ordered enough chinese for a family of 6 and now i feel sick and wish i hadn't bothered!
I got a quarter of the way through and was full but tried to soldier on as i didn't want to waste our hard earned money - not much of it to go round seven of us.
So anyway lesson learned I will stick to a selection of starters next time, At least i will come in below my points for the next two days as I'll still be full of chinese by monday! :-)
Keep on laughing (so you don't cry!)
Love and garlic kisses G x

OMG!!!!!

Because I am a bit of a chinese monster I decided to have one this weekend for a treat!
Reading all the messages on ww I thought it would be good to weigh myself this morning so if the chinese does some damage I would know and it would make me be more carefull in future. (Yeah right!) So even though i dont usually weigh until monday i did it - naked and before breakfast - and was astonished to find I am 15st 8lb!!!!! just in case you don't see the significance:
Starting weight last friday 16st 4lb
First weighing monday 16st
Today - Saturday(4 days later) 15 st 8 lb
As you can probably tell I am bl**dy well chuffed with myself!
That's all for now - off for lunch

OH HELL NO!

Well i was happy to be over my horrible sickness and to reach the weekend. Weekends are good in our house with having 5 kids - always a club or a party to attend.
This weekend is no different, Sat bb girl has gymnastics and her best friend Sami's party and bb boy 3 has footy training which his friend's mum (who is also one of my bestest friends) dutifully takes him to every week as itclashes time wise with gymn! - she's a complete angel - Thanx Vicki xxx
Anyway, i was looking forward to it before about an hour ago when i heard the dreaded sound of a small child vomiting! and my bf diving out of bed like clark kent. Needless to say it is bb boy 4 who will now be heart broken to miss his beloved footy, and now i have the even more unpallatable task of lying in bed listening to my bb whimper with one ear and listening for the next victim to fall foul with the other!
It's 4.44 pm and i am praying bb girl can hold it off until after tomorrow, i don't want to be the one to tell her she's missing the party! :-(
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed,

christmas challenge

well someone put up a post on ww that offered a christmas challenge so i joined and have said i want to lose 22lb by christmas. it's 22 weeks away so it's doable i hope! :-)
At least it will keep me motivated.
Got salmon and baked potato for dinner but still not 100% from my illness so I don't much feel like it and even after that i have 5.5 points to use!!!!
today my bf has stayed at home to look after my son and take other 4 to school, so far the kitchen is full of:
clean pots
dirty pots
dirty clothes
clean clothes
wet clothes waitin to be dried
school stuff he hasn't put away and the entire contents of the cupboard under the sink as he has decided to fit a new tap!
yes all that to do and he fits a new bloody tap instead! aaaargh!

weight loss so far:

Right the story so fari started ww last friday and got weighed for the first time on monday. I as really impressed that after 3 days (and the first one wasn't counting points strictly!) i had gone down to 16st - loss of 4lb.
This has spurred me on dramatically and since then I have walked, jogged, ans played tennis - which is easier said than done with plastic rackets and a two year old swinging off your leg! :-)
Unfortunately i have had a minor setback - no I've not been naughty - one of my many children brought back the illusive diarrhoea and sickness bug for mummy (probably from school) so i spent all night wed and most of yesterday vomiting, and even worse - the other end! :-(
So today I am feeling much better if a little dizzy from lack of food and managed an omelette and two cups of tea - which i needed sugar in, sorry but i couldn't face the sweetener today!
I have dutifully logged the points though and i'm hoping it will all be worthit when i get weighed on monday!

starting out!

Well I decided to join weight watchers last friday - 11th July because i seem to be getting bigger and bigger and i refuse to go from a size 18 to a 20 which is a real danger! :-(
i joined ww online at £9.99 per month and i think it's great! you have to weigh yourself but besides that it's really helpful, it counts points for you and gives you loads of recipe ideas.
