I need to learn the word 'no' !!

Or self restraint. One of the 2. Preferably both!

Odd day at work, horrid atmosphere. Both MrD & SC are being really 'please watch me do this so no one thinks I'm stealing'. LovelyM thinks its outragous that his 'till priviledges' have been taken away, which I semi agree with but also agree with the fact they *have* been taken away. *dizzy* lol. Didnt really get much done.

S appears to have split up with her boyfriend. Again.

Went to the gym this evening, did 20mins (inc cooldown) on cross trainer, 33 on treadmill (11mins warm up, 22 fast walk and cooldown), then 15mins on rower for first time! Think I did it all wrong and on the highest setting :S Did 144calories in 15 minutes. Burnt about 600 I think in total on the cardio stuff, then I did my weights.

Food: porridge, banana, dime bar, quavers, muller light, 1 pie d'angloys and ham french stick sandwich, 1 big bowl crunchy nut cornflakes, 4 sweet biscuits! See, wheres that self restraint! Just as well I did the 15mins on the rower.

Exercise: gym.

Thursday, 10 May 2007

Bah

It would appear I might have had the tiniest weightloss since yesterday. Going out tonight and will eat Fat Food. Bah.
-----
6pm. Joy. Just got home to find we have no water. May not be going now.

Food: salad (chicken/cheddar/cranberry sauce), greek yoghurt, blueberries, raspberries, packet quavers, 1 bacon and cheese burger with bun, chips, coleslaw, salad, tomato sauce, half a slice of cheesy garlic bread, sticky toffee pudding and custard.

Exercise: none.

Bah indeed. Good night though, nice to see everyone.

:bawling:

No weight change whatsoever this week.

I'm so glad I've swum so far and been to the gym 4 times.

Whinge whinge whinge. Yes, I am in an arse about it. Why can't my body do what it's SUPPOSED to?

Anyway, just back from work. A significant amount of money has gone missing in the last week or so. Only 2 people that could have done it - SC and MrD. Sadly, *I* suspect the latter although....bah, I dont know.

Food: porridge, banana, muller light, 2 biscuits, pasta, cheese sauce, sausages, peas, garlic bread, natural yoghurt, handful blueberries, handful raspberries

Exercise: 40 lengths swimming

Fat but also fit LOL

Went to lunch with SelfishN. Went to White Hart. Very nice, very posh, very expensive. Didn't help that I had spilt petrol all over myself when filling my car up and stank the place out. :blush: Lunch was really nice though. I got 5 minutes to talk about me and my stuff *shock* but then things went downhill until it was time for my fictional Drs appointment :blush: I'm so awful.

Came home, pottered about for a bit, then went to gym with S. Was quite fun, did my usual workout, and have increased the reps on my weights, so now I do 3 sets of 8. Must remember to keep counting though!!! Moved up to level 5 on the cross trainer too and by the time we finished on the treadmill, the incline was at 4.0 and speed at 6kph. Very red by time I had finished and my legs ache now! I must be crazy to be considering going swimming tonight too! Was fun doing it with S, much easier to stay motivated I think and it helped we're both competitive, although obviously she's far fitter than I am. Hopefully we're going to go next Wednesday as well - fingers crossed this turns into something we do when we both have a day off together.

In other news....apparently, reviews are for definate next week, while G is off. I am hoping this is a good thing.

Food: spaghetti, cream sauce, mushrooms, smoked bacon, half a pizza sized garlic bread, 2 bowls crunchy nut cornflakes and milk, 5 biscuits.

Exercise: gym, 70 lengths in pool

Irritated

9am this morning, I was in the gym, had done my 10mins warm up and was on the leg press, when who should I see walk in, but IrritatingColin who I used to work with :thud: I ignored him and he did likewise although the gym is so small we couldnt fail but to see each other, especially when he went on the pec fly thing RIGHT IN FRONT of my cross trainer. Got incredibly sweaty on the cross trainer, I swear went quicker but burnt less calories? Odd. So, irritations number 1&2.

Irritation 3 - Bank Holiday, had to work. Funny day. Not busy yet still didnt manage to get much done at all. I was knackered anyway, despite it not feeling (mentally!) like I'd done much at the gym, had irritating customers all day (I love my job, I love my job) and then home to find ...

Irritation 4 - the cat appears to have been sick, numerous times. Mostly on our bed. OH had washed the duvet, so have stuck the bottom sheet and pillows on too.

Irritation 5 - SelfishN is back, and has found out tomorrow is my day off. Have invented a Drs appt to go to in the afternoon, but know my morning is now ruined as will have to trail round after her all morning, listening to herherher. I'm so awful, but I know if I was in a position where I needed the help I've given her or advice or whatever, I know I would be given her opinion, that is what I should do and there would be no further comment on it. FFS, when my horse went on loan, she drove us there (for a fee!), and while I spent the whole time in tears, she wittered on about boy trouble!! Forgive me if I sound bitter.

Irritation 6 - well, there is no irritation 6, yet. No, there is. Why have I not lost weight, and why, knowing this, have I agreed to go out, far away, on Thursday, so no time for the gym? part of me thinks my body isnt used to the gym routine and I should just swim tomorrow and weds, and 'nothing' on Thursday, but the other part thinks 'I'm really not going to lose weight with that attitude'. I dont know, I might swim AND gym tomorrow, or I might go to the gym Friday evening instead :nolife: I also appear, at long last, to be having some kind of excuse of a period. Maybe that will help...

Irritation 7 - I have no self control whatsoever and have had chocolate, a quarter of garlic bread and a slice of pizza today. Therefore have cancelled out the gym-going this morning.

I have also decided that when I get a repeat prescription for the Pill, I will make sure I see a Dr, point out that all weight loss appears to have stopped since I went on Cerazette, my periods have stopped and am generally tired, ratty and moody. Am also going to ask for Fat Pills I think.

Irritation 8 - I think I have another cold starting.

Food: 1 slice ham and mushroom takeaway pizza, 1 quarter home made garlic bread, half a slice homemade pizza, half a penguin, half a blue riband, 1 chunk dairy milk, 1 chicken, cheddar and cranberry sauce salad, 1 muller light, 1 banana, chicken, boiled potatoes & butter, carrots, green beans, gravy, cranberry sauce, 2 rice cakes, 1 laughing cow light triangle.

Exercise: Gym.

Sunday, 6 May 2007

Going to need my day off on Tuesday!

Even so, I can't imagine that the ensuing exercise will in any way, shape or form forgo the gluttony which I am about to partake in. Bah.

Went swimming this morning - did 70 lengths :thud: Finding it very easy to sit here now and say I could have done 80lengths fairly happily...although, I really think I could have done. By the time I got to 60lengths I had a proper energy surge, and while it didnt make me QUICKER exactly, I just kept plugging on. Took 80 minutes, so not great but not exactly shabby either. Bank Holiday tomorrow, so off to the gym at 9am to fit it in before work. With S coming round, this could mean I end up with about 3 hours sleep :lol:

Work....pah. While I do enjoy my job, customers do irritate me occasionally. Although MrD sold a collar and a choke chain to someone doing a bondage show!!

Food: Salad (chicken/mozzerella/cranberry sauce), snack a jacks, muller light, 3 apple custard sucky sweets, pizza, garlic bread, wine, 1 caramel, some tangy cola sweets.

Exercise: 70 lengths in the pool, 40 minutes (416calories) on the bike.

----

S & her OH have just gone...they brought their (lab) puppy with them. Once Kitten was over his shock they played together fairly happily, as far as a 8month old dog can be about being chased by a cat.

Stiff!!

Had a horrid awful dream last night, dreamt Pony was shot because she wouldn't travel. Took me ages to cry :S but since then havent really stopped. Texted V at 7am this morning, requesting a picture :blush: she must think I'm crazy, but at least it was better than at 4am which was when I originally woke up! Have been in an iffy mood since then. I know it was only a dream, but still :(

Was stiff from the gym today, kept myself busy at work though by stocking up all day. Very tired now though.

Eaten lots and not exercised much.

Food: 1 handful each of grapes, blueberries and raspberries, 1 laughing cow light triangle, 1 packet snack a jacks (BBQ), porridge, banana, muller light, 1 chewit, some stolen chips, 5 biscuits, chicken, bacon, mozzerella, boiled potatoes with butter, carrots, beans, gravy, supergold & mint choc chip ice cream

Exercise: 1 walk (the 'backwards, 3hills walk on the chevin lol), 20 minutes (210 calories) on bike.

S & her OH coming over tomorrow night, so there will be pizza, garlic bread and lots of wine :S watch that weight pile back on...

Friday, 4 May 2007

oooh, check me out!

Went to the gym tonight :lol: was meant to be a 'night off' bearing in mind it's friday, but went anyway. No one outwardly laughed at me, despite me being very hot (bright red!!!) and sweaty, doing obviously a quarter of everyone else. Was a bit, not embarrassing, but...I dont what the word is, but it was that, watching everyone else doing huge weights/hours on cardio machines, then me putting them down to lowest weights and settings when I got on. Had an embarrassing moment when I couldnt get the cross trainer to work - must remember to press HARDER!

It was still fun, even if I did muck up the times on the cross trainer, so I ended up doing more. No bad thing though! As long as it isnt too busy, I think I shall quite enjoy it. Was humilating watching myself on the cross trainer though - unwittingly picked a machine right in front of a mirror. MP3 player was a godsend. Must put some more songs on it, as long as I remember than when I'm on the cross trainer, I shouldnt let go or move my feet, other wise I get disorientated :lol:

Work not too bad today, stayed in the shed for most of it, but SC REEKED. Of, well, piss. Has finally taken water bowls for those poor dogs. Spaced my food out over the whole day, which meant I wasn't hungry - fab. Did eat a lot today though :lol:

My gym workoutas of today is: (no laughing at the back...or anywhere)
10mins warmup - free choice, but will use treadmill, gradually increasing difficulty
then weights: leg press = 2 x 8 reps of 52kg, shoulder press = 2 x 8 reps of 15kg, seated row = 2 x 8 reps of 14kg, pec flies = 2 x 8 reps of 14kg, arm ext 2 x 8 reps of 10kg and arm curl 2 x 8 reps of 15kg. Cardio = 15mins + cooldown of cross trainer on level 4 - tended to go at 7-8kph and then 15mins + cooldown of treadmill again, but increasing difficulty, so by 12minutes am on incline 3 and walking at 5.7kph till cooldown kicks in. Very glad for that then LOL.

Food: 1 x smoothie, 1 x pack of 30g snack a jacks (cheese), 1 salad (ham/mozzerella/LOTS of salad cream), 1 muller light, 5 chewits, 1 whole packet maltesers, half bottle white wine, half garlic ciabatta, pasta, cheese sauce, bacon and peas, 2 peices of turkish delight.

Exercise: gym.

I am glad I went tonight, reminded me it wasnt so scary on my own. Was hoping occasionally to do gym and swim, but will have to work up to that very gradually I think LOL. Am very glad I went, especially as I only decided at 3pm that I would consider it and the whole way there I was getting myself worked up.

Just remembered, went to pick up 30kg today and couldnt do it! unheard of LOL so even if the exercises do feel easy, they're doing something!

nervous nervous nervous

Gym induction in half hour. Very nervous :lol:

Just been to vote for the first time ever. Fairly painless.

----------

Pooofffff!! I think I can see myself getting addicted to the gym! Had a great time, as much as I can do getting hot and sweaty on my own :rolleyes: :lol: Have to do 10mins on treadmill to warm up, then upper body machines for 2 sets of 8 reps each I think, then 15minutes each on a combination of 2 on the cross trainer, rower, bike and treadmill again, but working harder than in the warm up. HOW MUCH FUN was the cross trainer?! :lol: I really enjoyed it. Didnt burn as many calories as I hoped though. My bike calorie counter is DEFINATELY wrong!! Wasn't hugely out of breath either, but WAS sweaty....must remember to take a towel and a drink on Monday. I ache a bit now though!

Food: 1 baguette with salami & pie d'angloys, some snack a jacks, limey chicken and basmati rice, 1 piece turkish delight, 1 twix top.

Exercise: Gym, walk with OH and K

Work was fairly boring today. SC REALLY smelt. Then I got a text from S, who said she'd gone and got it from the pile of dirty clothes by the washer, that had been there since AT LEAST Saturday. Well, OH & I saw it on Saturday, and it had been there a *while* before. Ick. I can't understand it, I really can't.

Will ache tomorrow!! I am a bit worried I'll forget how to use the equipment though :blush: and will make sure MP3 has plenty of batteries! What I might do is the 10 mins warm up on treadmill, then my reps, then the 2 x cardio (check me out, sounding like a gym person!), then come home and do 15 mins on bike as a cool down. Maybe. In theory it sounds easy and doable, in practice I could be half dead come Monday evening :lol:

Wednesday, 2 May 2007

Slightly less demoralised

After spending til 3.30 this morning wide awake, thinking constantly....Must have burnt off some calories, cos I am 1lb off where I was 2 weeks ago :crossedfingers: So shockingly, a weight loss week.

Still havent come on since I started this new Pill, but started my last packet of 3 on Monday so will trundle off to Docs for more and have a chat with them. Noticeably harder to lose weight since being on it too and more mood swings. The way I am going, I will have no friends left by July.

Gym induction tomorrow morning, and an afternoon of overtime! I must be crazy lol. Have 45minutes to get back from gym, shower, change, eat and go again!

Sports bra arrived today as well. What a peice of equipment! Belly jiggles more than boobs do :lol: takes me 10 minutes to get in the damned thing.

Food: salad (ham/mozzerella/LOTS of salad cream), 1 smoothie, 1 muller light, pasta and bolognese sauce, garlic ciabatta, supergold & mint choc chip ice cream, 1 finger Mars delight.

Exercise: 2.5ish mile walk (2 out-of-breath hills), 34 lengths swimming.

Shocked and amazed I am still awake. I fully intended not to go swimming tonight, I was so tired. Wish I had gone a bit earlier though, cos I bet had I not been so adament I was only doing 34 lengths I would have done the whole mile.

I am annoyed its taking me so long to get back to where I was. I know it will come off (it has to, I will actually go crazy if i am still this weight at the end of the month) but...I get so irrationally upset. I can't see it coming off, my scales say it isnt coming off and so does the tape measure. But why am I working so hard for what feels like most of the time, absolutely nothing?

Tuesday, 1 May 2007

disappointed

Having such a miserable, irritated time at the minute. Everything irritates or upsets me, even when people have been trying to help. I hate it when I text someone a question (which to me is highly important!) and they dont reply until they see me on MSN or the next day etc. OH keeps asking why I am constantly so grumpy. I don't know, I really wish I did.

Food: salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream), muller light, 2 smoothies, 2 griddled lamb burgers, huge handful grated mozzerella, lettuce, rocket, tomatoes, 1 red onion, 4 shittake mushrooms, new potatoes with a blob of butter. Stuffed!

Exercise: A pathetic 50 lengths, hence why I am disappointed. It was such hard work too.

Still, am now an official member of the gym.

Monday, 30 April 2007

Unmotivated and Upset

I KNOW that I've eaten shit this weekend, but to have put on 5lbs worth of shit? When I've been walking/bike too? Snot fair, and when I get my repeat prescription for the Pill I'm going to ask about Fat Pills again.

OH's sister in law asked me last night if I'd lost weight. I said no, mainly because it would be round West Yorkshire in about 5 seconds that 'FatBloater is on a diet', people will laugh and then laugh harder when it doesnt come off. I think I was expected to say something about her weight loss (she has slimming world certificates everywhere), but....you can't tell yet. I dont think you can anyway :blush: Does that make me a bitch? Also slightly mollified as she's clearly lost a fair amount to get those certificates, and OH said he couldnt tell any difference either.

Done 30minutes (300calories) on the bike already, had my mp3 player on and played with my phone and just got on with it. The gym is going to be hugely embarrassing, I get so sweaty, so quickly.

Been for a very minimal walk with S & her dogs, to the tennis courts at the park and back. Will convince OH to go to the chevin with me tonight when he finishes work.

Food: salad (ham/mozzerella/salad cream), 2 rice cakes with 1 triangle laughing cow light cheese, 1 muller light, 1glace cherry, beef, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, carrots, peas, gravy, supergold & mint choc chip ice cream.

Exercise: 61 minutes on bike (600calories) 50 sit ups, walk round Chevin. Went the 'wrong' way round, so did the 'so big you nearly run down it' hill, but upwards, then went along the bridlepath and then turned left up the next hill (as high as the first hill), back down the way we went up (still with me?!) then back to the car the normal way. So 3 hills in total! Was sweaty & out of breath, so thats good surely.

Went to SCs house to get the dogs with S. It's....I can't even explain it, she doesnt wash - herself or her clothes, she's been wearing the same fleece (m2 gave her it!) since October last year, she neglects her horse, she leaves her dogs in tiny crates all day with no water, we looked in her fridge (we're so awful) and it has some potatoes (?!), out of date sausages, some hard cheese and a mouldy cucumber. She doesnt cook, she just gets take aways. There is mouldy pizza in her bedroom :bluergh: How? I genuinely dont understand how anyone could live like that. I know I was bordering on it when I was with ex, but... I still bathed and my clothes were clean. That poor horse though, she expected to get £10k for her, we told her that was ridiculous, so now she's advertising at £6k. The idea she'll get it is laughable.

Talking of horses....V is being kind of uncommunicative atm. Just dont want her to forget that until she's paid for, she IS still my horse, and I want to come and see her. I don't know, I'm being irritable about almost everything atm. Maybe I'm just over reacting.

Its nice to walk round the chevin, and think of just how lovely it would be to hack round there daily, if only I had a horse. It's harder to remember how much I actually hate hacking and how nervous and uptight I get, and the chevin would just be a minefield. All those joggers and dogs and rustly things in bushes. Its very easy to be a good rider as long as you dont have to be physically within 10foot of a horse :nod:

Have asked a solicitor about divorce, lots of questions about what ex is and isnt entitled to, any future claim he has, if anything, over stuff I do (mortgage) before we get divorced etc.

My sports bra still hasnt turned up, so have ordered another one from a different site. :unsure: Havent got order confirmation from b2g and can't get on their webpage. :wibble: so with this other damned bra costing about a billion pounds, I have spent £70 on bras in last 2 weeks :eek:

More Piggery

Walked down to the Farmers Market in the town centre this morning. Bought OH some wild venison haunch, some buffalo burgers, some lamb burgers (I'm thinking BBQ!), some soaps, some Yorkshire Punch, some shitake mushrooms, and sticky toffee pudding which OH announced he wont eat when I got home as it has dates in it :rolleyes: There was a stall selling buffalo burgers (cooked), god they smelt good. Took all of my self restraint not to have one, especially when they did it with mozzerella, onions and mushrooms. Mmmmmmm. I want one. Just as well they've gone home now, otherwise I would talk back and get one!

Walked back, was just hanging washing out and S rang to see if I wanted to take the dogs for a walk with her, so off we went down by the river.

Spent most of the morning putting songs onto my MP3 player, had a great time :blush: :lol: Now trying to convince people to lend me their cds so I can pinch more music :lol:

Seeing the pony next month, can't wait.

I'm very tired today, we were at S' drinking wine till 2am this morning, glad it was just OH who had to work today! Can't really motivate myself to do anything really. Early night tonight....rock n roll.

Food: half bag smarties, 2 rice cakes with 1 laughing cow light cheese triangle, muller light. Tea is roast beef, yorkshire puddings, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, green beans and gravy with Supergold ice cream for after.

Exercise: Walk round chevin, walk into town and back this morning.

Saturday, 28 April 2007

A Fat Pig Day

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.

Friday, 27 April 2007

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.

Thursday, 26 April 2007

Eeeeeek

Have just booked induction at gym - 10.30am next Thursday! Must be crazy :lol: Will take about an hour, need to wear trainers (and sports bra :lol: ), my gym membership form, 2 photographs and the money (cash!) for first months payment.

AND....I got home to an email from Amazon to say my mp3 player had been dispatched - fab!

Exercise: 2 mile walk on chevin

Food: 1 banana, 2 fingers minty kitkat, porridge, muller light, pork stew, big yorkshire pudding and a pastry custardy thing, 1 caramel sweet.

AND!!!! I might have found a puppy :ph34r: advert says: well bred pedigree labrador puppies for sale. Father is a working field champion and mother comes from a line of field champions. Dogs and bitches, black and golden- ready at 7 weeks. Good homes only.

Means they're ready end of May... Just need to show OH the advert... (showed OH the advert, pups are from Harehills. Being total snobs and suspect pups wont be what we want. so search goes ever onwards)

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.

Monday, 23 April 2007

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.
