Where does my diet willpower go on a weekend? Bah. Have had a day off with OH, so went up to Brymors in Masham for ice cream :wub: and we decided we were going to get our wedding cake made there :lol: Drove through the Dales on the way home....Lovely, although a bit hair raising in places!
Having a lovely nerdy day going through all my songs to find ones I want on my mp3 player for the gym-going. Lots of chavvy songs (Bob Sinclar :lol: ) some fun ones to make me smile half way through (B*witched!) and then some of my songs.
Food: 1 ham & mushroom omelette with salad and coleslaw, 1 glass full cream dairy milk, 1 bag smarties, 1 waffle double cone with 2 scoops ice cream, 1 sausage roll, pizza and garlic bread, 1 bottle pink wine.
Exercise: 40 minutes on bike (400calories) walk round chevin.
Had my photo taken for my gym card today :blush: they're AWFUL. And I'm stuck with them for a year. Bah.

Gaaaah
Must not let myself get stressed by idiotic customers. Was really upset though today by one woman who was lovely in the shop, I checked she wanted junior food and not adult or puppy, she definately wanted junior, but then this afternoon rang back (I answered) and accused me of not doing my job properly cos she'd taken the wrong thing, and then told me I was a liar. Admittedly, I didn't handle it that well, but was close to tears for the rest of the afternoon.
Still no review, but yes to a payrise *dances* a whole 3%. So that should make up what the extra tax has taken from my old wage.
My mp3 player arrived today so suspect will spend most of tomorrow playing with it :lol: It's TINY, about quarter the size of my phone, which is hardly brick-size.
AND!!!! We've found a puppy!! Sadly it won't be born till next year, but need to think of a champagne-related name. Grandma is called Bollinger and Mummy is Tattinger! But Corinna isn't breeding Tat till next year, so will have to be patient. Bah. Anyway, plenty of time to save!! Also, just ready to come live in chaos with builders, pah.
Food: 4 fingers minty kitkat (must instruct Danny to eat them all, I have no self control), salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream), muller light, smoothie, a couple of forkfuls of super noodles (mmm, I like super noodles!!), pork casserole with yorkshire pudding, apple sauce and gravy again, a mini magnum, milk chocolate in a strawberry truffle and half a bottle of wine. Oh well, the wagon can be hitched back up tomorrow. I dont care.... That customer I said about at the top REALLY upset me.
Exercise: 2 mile walk round Chevin, 100 sit ups.

Weigh Day
A loss! Not much admittedly, and am still more than I was this time last month, but...it's back on the downwards trend again - huzzah!
We're babysitting for OHs sister tonight, so no swimming, but hopefully going to go tomorrow morning instead. We're WERE going to walk there too - its a mile and all flat, but hey, it was still going to be a walk. I've actually missed going on the chevin the last couple days, I guess thats a good thing! Unfortunately we ran a bit late.... So HAD to go in car.
Food: salad (ham, mozerella, salad cream), muller light, 1 mint KitKat (2 fingers), 1 easter egg, bolognese sauce and pasta, garlic bread.
Measured myself again this morning. There is a (significant!) change in my thighs, even though you can't tell :(, but waist and hips have put on. Minimal amounts, but still, it is a gain. So clearly the biking and walking is working for the pins, but hips? waist? I really thought swimming would help there.
I've had 5 hours sleep, so I am going to be the grumpiest bitch EVER today. Not looking forwards to work, M2 (SC day off), the builders and customers.
I WANT to go to the gym, I just dont want people seeing me sweaty, out of breath and struggling.
Exercise: 100 sit ups

Spoiltus Brattus
What a horrid day. Building work started in earnest as they got the rest of the wooden 'sheeting' up around where they're knocking the wall down, and drilling and Big Loud Noises abounds ALL FUCKING AFTERNOON. I have a cracking headache now. Made 100% worse by not being able to hear a damned thing, people being too stupid or ignorant to take heed of 'please look at me while you talk', or just plain complaining about the fact there was noise/things had moved/being generally irritating, such as asking me where to get Lion poo from. Gah. She looked at me gone out when I suggested the zoo.
Then, a man in a suit came in, and announced that the wall which we're having knocked down is a supporting wall and the whole place will fall in. Joy! So we have to have a supporting beam apparently, but needs to be dug down to the foundations, which are 6ft deep.
SC is still following M2 around like a sheep. It is very irritating now. Especially as I suspect he and his wife (oh, yes, he is married and has a young son, and she is getting married next year. As if!) are having major difficulties and she (SC) is Not Helping. Work would be unbearable if those 2 got together.
Food: Salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream) 1 muller light, 2 rice cakes with 1 laughing cow light triangle divided between them, 2 squares shortbread, pizza, garlic bread.
Exercise: 100 situps, 50 lengths swimming. Very busy in the pool tonight.
This losing weight better be damned well worth it...I am constantly tired, snappy and miserable.

Big Sigh
What an odd day.
Did NOT want to get up this morning, ached everywhere after 3 mammoth walks :lol: Got up, got to work and remembered the builders were meant to be knocking the main wall down today, so had 4 shelves and a set of racking to clear and find space for. Found space on a rickety old table and was promptly told they needed the table moving too. Moaning customers, plain irritating customers, stupid customers... I had them all today, I did NOT feel customer orientated by the end of the day, especially when one particular customer refused to take any advice whatsoever, wanted the world ordering in for her, then complained about the price.
SC and her 'thing' with M2 is REALLY pissing me off now. If we lose M2, we just need to listen for SCs girly laugh and we'll find him :rolleyes: She smells bad as well, its getting horrid, but I dont know how or what to say to her.
Went on another huge walk this evening after work - walked from the carpark, to almost the top of Leeds Road, then back down to re join the path where we normally turn up the hill, and then carried on with our walk as normal. Reckon it must have been about 3miles this time and some hills. My bottom and legs ache tremendously now though :lol: Will be glad of swimming tomorrow for the rest (ha!). Going to ask as well if I can book an induction for the gym, and join up for the bodyline card.
Food: 1 salad (ham/salad cream/mozzerella), 1 smoothie, 5 squares of short bread, 4 squares of Lindt chocolate caramel, 1 lamb casserole with half a bread flute.
Exercise: 3 mile hilly walk, 60 sit ups
This gym lark is costing me a fortune already... Have just bought a Creative Zen 1GB MP3 player, using the vouchers mum got me for my birthday, and a sports bra, using my, ummm, credit card.
My legs ACHE. This walking must be doing something... Either that or I am going to have the biggest muscles in the UNIVERSE and thats why I'm not losing size. Have changed thinking about starting the gym this Thursday coming to next Thursday. That way my bra has time to turn up and I can get passport photos etc done for the card. Half looking forward to it, half dreading it. I know I will be elated the first time I walk out of the gym, having done a 'workout', but its whether I can do it, on my own, without finding an easier (and therefore, wrong) way of doing it, or just having a tantrum and throwing the towel in.
Was semi considering a second job to increase my money a bit, but.... I want to go to gym Monday and Thursday evenings, so those are out, I swim Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, so they're out. Sunday we go to OHs parents, can't work then, so that just leaves Friday and Saturday night, and despite the fact I never go out and I never do anything....I dont want to give them up. So it looks like thats a non-starter :lol:

I think that is a decision made....
I picked up a gym membership form from the pool today...If I've read it right, then it means that if I join, I have to pay £30 a month, but get to use everything (bar the classes) for free - including swimming. So it would be cheaper to get the card and even not use the gym.
I do think I need to join, it's just a/ getting over the fact boys will see me and b/ going on my own. But I COULD go on a Thursday, which leaves OH to have his night with K. And I'm not over impressed with the idea of some little tiny gym bunny knowing how much I weigh. And I didnt want to go swimming on my own, but I have.
Hmmm, this gym lark could end up costing a small fortune. I need new jogging bottoms (well, jogging bottoms, let alone new ones), a gym-only top, a sports bra, an MP3 player....
Been busybusy this morning, even cooking! Baked some short bread when I got home....It couldnt be described as a COMPLETE success... but it's edible.
Food: shortbread!! lots of it as well :(, salad (ham, mozzerella, salad cream), smoothie, muller light, 2 rice cakes with 1 triangle laughing cow light. Roast lamb for tea, with green beans, carrots, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, gravy and mint sauce.
Exercise: 1 mile swimming, 2 mile brisk walk (same as with OH, just on my own and it would appear I walk quicker on my own :lol: )
And at 8.30pm, we have the crash...
WHY after 2 stone is there no SIZE loss??? What more can I do? Four nights a week I will be exercising at the gym/swimming, 2 nights I will be walking... what more can I do?
My next target is to have lost another stone by June.
