1st Week of Gym Membership

Custom Search

1 week down only another 51 to go
I am really enjoying going to the gym at the moment the gorgeous male bodies are a big bonus and Wakey Wildcats training their is like the icing on the cake.
I think I need to invest in some really big sunglasses so that I dont get either kicked out for perving or fall off the treadmill whilst running.

Cake bloomin heck what the hell is that I have honestly eaten nothing unhealthy or cake like for a full week and I havent missed it at all.
Makes a big difference looking at a Mars Bar and knowing how hard I have to work just to burn it off seems so pointless eating it that I just arent bothering.

Makes a real big difference that I can also go swimming there and the sauna steam room and hydropool well I enjoy them almost as much as been breathless and sweaty honest.

On a major positive note I feel refreshed, less tired and have a bounce in my step.

Makes a big difference knowing that people are behind me and willing me to succeed and the flattery and lovely comments are very much appreciated.

1st weigh in since I joined tonight so fingers crossed and will update tomorrow.

Morning Campers

Well well well really enjoying the gym will be slogging it out again tonight feel refreshed and inspired after talking to a long lost friend god how time goes by.

Food going great having not been eating cakes, crisps, biscuits takeaways oh shall I go on.

Having a cook to hand helps so much just hoping he isnt sabortaging hiding butter in my jackets too much mayo in my tuna he is a sod when he wants to be.

Got 2 long weekends away to look forward to 1st next weekend of to sunny skipsea all family then weekend after girls only off to Pontins wit bloody woo will just have to go steady with the boozing need to make my cave girl costume fancy dress love it.

So loving being back to my old fun loving self which is being helped along nicely with some nice comments and intresting texts.

Amazing how much different I feel in my head.

Gym Membership

Yesterday I took the big leap into joining a gym

I have thought and thought about this and decided something needs to be done about my terrible fitness, I am tired, irritable, foul moods, and constantly feeling generally unwell.
Trying to blame this all on anything but the real cause>

So last night I took a trip up to my local Total Fitness and paid the grand sum of £295.00 for a annual membership. If this helps in anyway it will be worth every penny if it doesnt Steve will not be impressed so I have to go 4 times a week and make the most of my membership I am really quiete looking forward to this.

So this evening I will be going for the first time will take it steady and maybe have a swim after when I say Im unfit I mean I cant run for more than a minute or so without been completely knackered and for a woman of only 30 this is just not right.
Steve is 14 years older than me and at this moment in time I think I am about his age based on health and looks fitness im about 10 years older than him.

So Im on a mission to get Steve back is lovely young wife haha.

Been A Long Time

Morning everybody and hope you have all had a good summer

I am back

Unfortunately I have had no computer and havent been at work and had alot of other problems and upset that has set me back a bit so have been unable to keep up and I have to say it really does make you realise how much support you get from something like this.
I have completely let myself go and have probably eaten my own weight in junk food over the last few weeks.

So it stops now and back on track I arent going to get weighed until 1 week on Friday as I think it will dishearten me even more so instead I will knuckle down and start blogging again.

So keep your eyes peeled.

Also not sure wether I have already mentioned it or not but I am considering renewing my wedding vows whilst on a carribean cruise next Decemeber which has already been booked.

Wednesday

Things are going great at the moment for me I feel happier than I have done in a long time.

Been eating well and trying to make time for exercise this can be a bit of a juggling act. Love it when the weather is nice going outside in the garden with the boxing stuff and thrashing out all my anger and frustration this makes a great stress busting exercise.

I am starting to think about the school holidays and how I can keep them entertained without breaking the bank. Helps that I work 3 days so only have to plan 2 days and the weekend hopefully weather will be good so we can go walking and picnics.
Swimming pool will be out next weekend too if the weather is good.

At the moment i am really looking forward to our friends coming up from Birmingham on 1st August as a big group of us are having a full weekend sesh no kids involved they are been shipped to my Mum & Dad's so need to stick to the healthy eating as got a lovely top sat in my wardrobe that is a bit tight and i would like to wear it.

Decided that I am going to get weighed every 2 weeks I have lost a bit this week but think every week is going to make me concentrate on the weight too much and I really dont want that to happen.

Weekend has been really busy this weekend Sunday spent all day at A majorette competion with Jess as she has started dancing with the Batley Starlites. They all did really well even though it was their 1st time out and they were all really nervous.

This week I will be posting more I have just been really busy.

My First Weigh In.

Monday is my official weigh day seems to make sense and will then hopefully keep me on track throughout the weekend.

So Weight today is 14 Stone 7lbs this means this week I have lost 4lbs

I am very proud of myself and this will motivate me to keep going, can't wait to see what I can achieve next week.

Food wise I have had a great weekend.

Emotion wise a terrible weekend from so called friends giving me a terrible time and making hurtfull comments that were out of order and didnt even concern them. People can be very cruel sometimes and this is something I just didnt need.
I have carried on and will not let this set me back. I now feel great about this weight loss and will carry it on all the way.

The Wkkend is Almost Here

The Weekend this is my hardest time of all we will have a full fridge and stuff for the kids.

But this weekend I am determined to not sucumb to eating the rubbish.
If the weather stays nice will have a BBQ which I find easy as will make homemade burgers, salmon, jacket potato and a salad so just need to keep off the beer nothing like a bottle of corona with a slice of lime when the weather is hot.

Jess had her 1st Majorette display today with the Batley Starlites and they all did really well so have been so busy this morning running Mums taxi around to practice, parties and then the school gala, so food hasnt been really on my mind.
We had a lovely bbq I just had 1/2 a buger and rainbow trout in lime and cocunut, gosh Steve is a great cook.
Kids have all been good today so alll in all a good day only treat I have had today is a small slice of Steve's mandarin flan couldn't have none when he went to such trouble and I think I deserved a treat oh and a bottle of Turborg which I really really enjoyed.

Will stay on track tomorrow and this will then be the 1st weekend in a long time that I haven't gone stupid with the sweets and chocolate and it really isn't bothering me that much really looking forward to getting on the scales on Monday morning.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone
Thanks for reading xx

So today I have drunk lots of fluid can't believe how hot it is in our office must be 15 degrees warmer than it is outside.

Food Wise I am doing well but my cravings are really kicking in so to combat them Ive had a Slim Fast Snack bar has a small ammount of chocolate on but they are really small but seems to have done the trick.

Breakfast - 2 Slices of Wholemaeal toast not forgetting the added seeds wit woo
Snack - Didn't have 1 today as it really is too hot
Lunch - Baxters Healthy Option Soup was really tasty and very filling and redced to 36p at Sainsburys's so a bargain to boot wont Steve be impressed money saving too.

Snack - Slim Fast Snack Bar very tasty and just enough to satisfy my cravings
Tea - Pasta plain with a small ammount of Mozzerela.

Today Im Feeling It

As I awoke this morning having missed the dog walk as Steve got in there 1st I could smell something cooking oh no smells like bacon.
Why is Steve cooking bacon?

A - Doesnt want me to loose weight
B - Hasn't thought
C - Trying his hardest to make this a difficult as possible

Answers on a postcard please.

So I stay in bed until he goes to work and has hopefully eaten the offending bacon this seems to work as kids tell me they have had breakfast Daddy made us sausage and bacon sandwiches this is just not something we do during the week. I also cannot wash up the bacon pan so leave it for him that will teach him I will refuse to wash up anything that has any fat on.
I amsure he is upto something and if he carries on will be getting a tongue lashing as my stomach is rumbling not from wanting the bacon but from the smell and just the thought of anything bad, I swear I could eat a full packet of Jaffa cakes.

This is so far the hardest day maybe my body is now feeling the shock of the extra exercise and the lack of sugar and extra fat I would normally be eating. I am expecting to feel worse by Friday but hopefull start feeling better by Monday, hardly wearing any makeup today as I can already tell a difference to how my skin looks and feels from all the extra fluid so amazing what water can do.
I am slowly starting to realise that there is a reason why cadbury's fruit & nut doesnt grow on trees or come from the ground, surely the answer is because we just do not need it and if I try to stick to a diet of mainly grown or naturally produced food I will be eating the way that was intended.

1st Blog Day

This is really my third day but lets not complicate matters.

The warm weather is surely helping I must have lost 3lbs in fluid and feel slightly sick as it is so warm

So hows my day really gone

6am decided to get up and walk the dogs much to the shock of my husband and later kids, but this is not going to work unless I put 100% into it so off I go.
Walk done and feel strangely awake and happy I am not at all a good morning person but have a early breakfast and actually smile about it.

On Saturday I booked a 15 night carribean cruise we go on 3rd December 2010 and there is no way I am going to be going in size 18 sacks so want to be gorgeous but still maintain my once lovely curves.
I am also seriously considering renewing our wedding vows whilst aboard as it will be our 10th wedding anniversary will not be a showy thing the only people who will be there will be us our 3 children and my Mum and Dad would be nice for kids to have a memory of that.
So this gives me even more determination that I will look great on the photo's.

Food Today

Breakfast - 2 slies of wholemeal toast & coffee
Late Morning - 1/2 Alpen light bar
Lunch - John West Salmon Light Lunch
Afternoon -Ginger Nut
Tea - Small Ham Sandwich

I have also drunk plenty of fluid I have found today easier knowing that I have this blog to answer to but not in a dred way more of a Im going to proove to myself and everyone else that I can do this and it doesnt have to be drastic, expensive or unhealthy.

Theonly bad point of today was Steve my hubby who decided to eat a choc ice infront of me well I dont do small bites Im a compulsive kind of girl who has to put 100% into most things i do so for that reason will not be eating any chocolate for 1 month as only a kg bar will satisfy my sweet tooth.

Thankyou for reading and see you tomorrow.

This Journey Has to Start Somewhere

Welcome to my journey

Scarey bit 1st
Starting weight 14 stone 11lbs
Measurements
Will update later as I cant find my tape but aint good.





I know this is going to be hard and this is why I have choosn to blog my journey so that I can inspire myself and others to continue.
I am not going to lie I will post everyday so that I have a personal record of what I will achieve and also a way of talking about my diet without boring my family and collegues everyday.

A little about my self I am Vicky aged 30 Mum of 3 kids aged 9, 7 & 6, Wife, Office Manager and taxi driver no wonder I have let myself go as time for myself is a luxury that untill now I havent really been able to indulge in.
I find my downfall is not the meals that I eat which are generally very good its all the rubbish I seem to eat but don't need all day. I could easily eat a full packet of biscuits the bit that scares me the most is I dont even want to eat these thing. I eat because i am sad, then eat when lonely and aslo eat when very happy so the way I look at it food is such a major part of my life this is the bit I need to change.

I NEED TO STOP HAVING SUCH A INTEREST IN FOOD AND EAT BECAUSE I AM HUNGRY.
After 1 sucessfull attempt at wight loss and 3 or 4 failed attempts I have realised that taking time out for yourself and appreciating that you are important is a major factor in sucess.

What am I going to do.


First of all I have ditched all slimming clubs I was a avid member of SW but do not want to spend the rest of my life eating however much I want of anything as I feel this can only be counter productive to somebody like me who is a major food addict. When I go to class my consultant keeps telling everyone well at least you are in control (I am not in control at all) also she used to say if youve gained weight dont worry at least you have come to class so that is positive. Well going to class doesnt not make you slim eating a healthy well balanced diet and taking up new exercise is the best way to do this.
