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
