definately crazy

Today I have jogged/walked round Yeadon Tarn twice (took 20-ish minutes, shockingly I didnt check properly), then I went to the gym, I was going to do my normal treadmill stuff, but just walked for a mile on a 4% incline & at 4mph. Might not do so much for the fat shifting, but hey, I went running for that.... it's more than I would have done. Then I did a rubbish rower and on the x-trainer. Did do some arms, but started texting people so gave up and went home. Made OH come get me. Oops.

Still not sleeping greatly, but I genuinely dont know what it is that's making me so wide awake. Overexcitement, I think is part of it, but other than that? Money... Bought the baggage a new saddle this morning (ouch, better fucking fit) which at the minute will take approximately a million years to pay off, my weight, I hate it. It's not shifting and I can't stop eating. Have wine now, and if I still dont sleep tonight I'm having my migraine pills tomorrow night.

We've arranged to go out with friends tomorrow night with friends for a meal, I really dont want to go now. I don't hugely want to eat in front of people I dont know that well and I'm not drinking (not if I need the pills). I hatehatehate one of the boys that's going and I can think of about a million things I'd rather be doing.

Girl from the yard came down to work this morning with my keys - really must go look at it :blush: but have a backup ready, so that if it's hugely awful, The Pony only has to stay there one night then I can walk her to another yard. Sounds a bit too good to be true though, 40 per week inc haylage & shavings, use of 20x60 arena, showjumps (it's a showjumping yard), if I'm not there by a certain time in the morning, she'll get put out by the (one) other livery and YO will bring her in and check her every night. Doesnt sound like DIY to me, but I'm not complaining :lol: Think I'm going to have to be brave at hacking alone though, she said no one really did but there's no way I'm having her on the chevin and then not hacking on it :lol:

Please let me sleep tonight, I'm REALLY tired, but also wide awake, if that makes sense.

Food:
1 salami slice, 2 x laughing cow light, 1 x rice cake, 1 packet of crisps, 1 slice melon, 1 chocolate rice crispy cake with 2 mini eggs, chris stew, yorkshire pudding, chris-brioche, nutella, 1 bottle white wine.

:bawling:

Must stop eating.

I've only lost 3lbs since the 22nd February.

reasons i cant sleep

1. weight
2. money
3. IAS
4. worried I wont do the pony justice now!!
5. Work
6. letting people down
7. just being a bitch in general

I'll leave it there for now

two days running...

Blimey, have blogged more in 2 days than in last 2 weeks.

Pony-mobile booked and insurance set up. Went to open her a bank account but Wednesday is earliest they can do - arse. Driver is a bit keen though, he wants to leave in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic... I'm hoping I can take my iPod and sleep. Would that be rude?

Went 'running' tonight with friend from work (who I am also doing race for life with) round Gallows Hill. Took us 20 minutes and we finished there cos she (not me!!) was bored. Huh. Think it's about a mile, we walked most of it I think. The problem with the 2 of us is we're both fundamentally really lazy and neither of us push each other. Going again tomorrow with the accountant (AND we find out if we're getting a bonus tomorrow - huge crossed fingers. If we dont get one I'm going to push her in the Tarn) and Sunday with Gymbitch.

Saw a new phone contract on tinterweb today with same network I'm with, for 35quid a month, you get 750calls and unlimited texts. Says you can cancel your existing contract as long as you're within 2 months of the end of the minimum contract - mines up next month, so hopefully I should be ok. Something will go wrong, I know it. But I'm going Sunday to ask about it.

I'm getting tired at long last, I'm really hoping I sleep tonight. However, N is on her way over. Usually has the opposite effect on me. I. Am. Not. Drinking. Owner came into work today and told me I looked like shite & exhausted. That's not great.

Wish I'd gone to the gym instead today. Oh well.

Todays food:
3 x laughing cow light
2 slice salami
2 x salt & vinegar rice cakes
1/2 of a Chris pork pie
1 packet crisps
grapes
Chris-Stew
Yorkshire pudding
half of some kind of nutty pastry affair
Hmm. I'm quite sure I ate more at lunchtime.

WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Right, if this doesnt work, I'm giving up entirely. This is the FOURTH time I've tried to post this fucking thing.

Essentially, if I was to round things up, in a nutshell, it would be thus:

1. We love the Gymbitch. I'm running, outside, in daylight, where people can see me. AND she doesnt laugh at me (openly!)even when I cant breathe, having run approximately a metre.

2. The pony is coming back!! Equal parts supreme overexcitement, terror and OMG I can't afford this... Actually, I think overexcitement is outweighing everything else at the minute. It'll kick in again once I've had a week of mucking out.

3. Due to combination of Gymbitch & Pony, I've just had the best workout ever. Nearly died doing it, but am so proud of myself tonight, in a 'it's all gonna go to shit soon' way.

4. Might be giving up Fat Fighters. I'm not really enjoying it anymore (the pointing), I'm forever going over points and I could do with the extra money. I should really give up the gym too, but I can't quite bring myself to do that. We'll see how it goes time & money wise.

I think part of the enthusiasm has gone because even though *I* don't see the change in me, I am wearing size 18-20 clothes which not so long ago was an unacheivable target... I dont know. I keep forgetting to do measurements as well, so maybe the obsession is going. lets hope so. Am off the happy pills too now and no one seems to have noticed any difference so ever onwards...I have had one huge slip, but. Itchy Arms Syndrome. I just dont want it all to come back.

Work is ok. The biggest irritant is away at the minute and comes back when I'm off for a week so that works out quite nicely for me.

I'll just have the lottery numbers for Saturday night please and then I think I'm sorted. Positivity, excitement and no whinging, all in one post. Today truly is a good day. Lets hope the fucking thing posts now.

Food:
half a boost bar
8 squares whole nut
the vast majority of a bag of Haribo (maybe thats what made me superpowered on the rower?)
1 packet crisps
1 sausage
vegetables
rachelraita
2 slices chris-brioche
nutella
1 x salami & laughing cow light.

Ouch. I felt thin today too.

Long time no blog

I havent changed weight though.

Had a much more successful shopping trip last week - lots of jeans and a couple of tops, then today went again with the intention of MAYBE looking at an iPod and came home with an iPod, 3 tops, new bra (to go with the semi-backless top) and pants, a pair of jeans to thin into (really, they dont go above my hips...) and THE most gorgeous pair of shoes ever. Really quite high and I am going to fall off them and probably break my ankle.

Also had a really disapointing lunch in Costa. We broke the diet and truly wasnt worth it. AND it was 20quid. Robbing bastards.

I think my Garbage CD is broken :'( Will genuinely be really upset if it is, was so looking forward to having it on the ipod. Such a geek.

Must get back into eating properly, I've eaten a load of shit recently and although I dont *think* I've put any weight on, it's only cos I've been going to the gym loads. Think how much I could have lost if I'd gone to the gym and eaten less?!

Wednesday, 19 March 2008

long time no blog....

TPO is still pregnant and dragging everyone down, got a new girl who is FAB, has settled in really well and works hard. Can't fault her, although she wants to leave cos of TPO. So that's shit.

Went shopping cos everyone moaned that I had no decent trousers so went shopping and found fuck all fitted, so came home in tears, went to the gym and didnt eat for the day. That was grown up.

I've found a pony I really want but I must be grown up and desist. Quite apart from the fact I dont have the money. Or the time, or the...anything really.

Got my race for life stuff through last week, I'm runner 300. Must up my running. meant to be going round some reservoir somewhere at some point. Running in public. Erk.

Have badly fallen off the wagon this month, must get back into things.

so fucked off

Had my bodyfat measured properly last night :bawling: 41% of me is Bad Fat. 9 stone is Good Fat. This bothers me as it looks like I will never get to 11stone goal, if 9stone of me now is Good - going to the gym surely means that will only increase...? Must find out what a good range is. BMI is 34 :bawling: (computer told me it was 33...ok, only a point, but hey).

Might not go to gym tonight - not cos I'm disillusioned, honest, but more because my house needs cleaning, properly, and I'll be knackered if I gym then clean :wimp: I'm yawning now!!

Next day off looks like it will be the 22nd March. Nightmare, but at least I'm getting paid The Deserters wage on the days that should have been my days off. They can go into New Clothes Fund.

tired

B has walked out. TPO is still there, 'feeling really guilty you all have to do my work for you' :| I'm fast running out of sympathy, especially as tomorrow I will be the only one in.

Food-restraint is WAY out of the window.

Gymbitch suggested I do some boxing. Tempted.

Looking through my diary last night, I saw my next target was to be 14.8 by my birthday. Really dont think that's going to happen :( I MUST get back into it, I've had such a bad week, last night we had pizza, wine and chocolate. :S But was same weight this morning as I was yesterday so not all bad. And I have a one on one with Gymbitch tomorrow.

I want to go shopping though.... I must admit now I need some more work jeans and possiblya belt or 2, but dont really want to go on my own. But what if the same happens as last time and I end up utterly depressed cos nothing fits? Dont really have the money for shopping either. Rahhh.

tantrums, hormones and meh-ness

rahhhh/ Stinky is still pregnant. She is 'not allowed' to lift AT ALL and has had everyone (bar me cos I'm mean) running about fetching and carrying for her. I want to rant on some forums I go on, but I know how it will be taken.

Weight is Not Good. Had a bad 2 days which involved chocolate and a hot ham sandwich. I'm shocked at how much I've put on tbh. I didnt think it would be as much. Definate gain week. And pizza tomorrow. Must go to gym tomorrow night.

Work not bad. S'ok.

Sunday, 24 February 2008

tantruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm

I cant stop eating and have put on 6lbs since my WI on Friday :bawling: First 2lbs I blamed on totm, but no chance now.

Wedding last night was gorgeous. I'm kind of jealous :rolleyes:

Friday, 22 February 2008

*sigh*

I was 15.5 yesterday morning :( So have put on weight through eating that yummy flapjack (not sure it was worth 12 points though)and drinking the pink wine. Sigh. But, hey, it's still a loss from last week.... New 10% goal is now 14 stone, by which point I will only be overweight according to my BMI, as opposed to morbidly obese :rolleyes:

Gym in a bit - tbh I cant really work up enthusiasm to go, esp as will do EVERYTHING.

I was oh-so-right re the Work Thing with S. Knew it. Boys are so shit at hiding stuff.

Must get motivated. Have Things To DO before I go to the gym, plus I need to remember to take the stupid grate with me to swap it. bah. Why couldnt OH do it tomorrow?

Monday, 18 February 2008

sulky

The Pregnant One is pregnant no longer. Do we give it three months before she is again?

I dropped a bale of chop onto my leg which was out to the side earlier, nearly popping it out of the hip socket. Bastard well hurts now. OH is Off Games for the forseeable now. Also meant I didnt go to the gym. Half pissed off, half kind of relieved, we were so busy with TPO being off, that I'm not sure I really needed the gym tonight :lol:

There are Decisions and Dilemmas about TPO and also my job, I think, if I want to have a family, or get into the family way at any point.Erk.

Had to do an emergency Tesco shop today, which pissed me off (we only went Friday!!!). Just means we spend more money we dont really have on things we dont especially need (yes, I bought a DVD) and we've still forgotten stuff.

Hands are all dry and horrid :( They look like they belong to a 100yo woman :(

Not the best day

Bad nights sleep, plus an 8am 'alarm' (haha) call from work, divided by The Most Irritating Man in the Universe, bar none = really fucking grumpy FB.

I had loads to blog earlier, I'm sure of it, but I just kept putting it off (ooh, I'll just put some washing on/mop the floor/hoover - clearly I am ill) and now I cant remember what it was.

I think it can be summed up by 1. This connection on the internet from this computer REALLY fucks me off, and 2. I'm fed up of hovering round this weight. I have 4 days to lose 4lbs (maybe a bit more) and it's SO not going to happen.

bugger it. I'm off to bed.

Friday, 15 February 2008

I'm not dead!

But I did run. New program is:

rower - 5 x 300metre/30seconds rest. The AIM is to do it in less than 1m15. That idea is laughable.
treadmill - 1min @ 3.5mph/5% incline, 1min @ 5mph/0% incline, although I may up it to 5.5mph.... Took me 14minutes to do a mile.
cross trainer - random setting, level 7, 7 minutes. I will build up to 10mins - in fact I might try it on monday. But :whinge: it will be busy and those fast running girls will be there and I'll fall off the treadmill.

I almost find it easier than the last one she did me. Dont tell her though.

Also went for a quick walk on the chevin - was out for 33 minutes. Now I have times for both walks, will try and beat myself back on them the next time I go up there.

Looby is being sick :( Silly bugger ate a packet of egg fried noodles yesterday.

So spoilt

:wub: OH. Lush toys and a necklace from Tiffanys awaited me this morning :hyperventilate: Such a shock, truly cant believe it. It's been everywhere with me today LOL.

Having a bit of a 'cant be arsed' mood today though. Day off and I have troughed my bodyweight in Bad Things. This is doubly bad as not only is it WI tomorrow, it's been such Bad Things, I'm STILL hungry.

Tried to get a fire going for OH to come home to, but it goes for about a minute then dies.

Gymbitch collared me at the gym last night and I had my arm twisted into booking another review for tomorrow. But it's still hard!! She wants me to run too. I dont want to.

N came round, moaned she was single, moaned I was so lucky, moaned she had no job (whos fault?) then left.

Really must get motivated, mum wants me to write something about the smallest kitten for her cat club newsletter and I. Have. No. Inspiration.

Food today:
6 pink & whites
1 packet cheese puffs
3 rice cakes
2 laughing cow light
LOTS of chocolate
2 packets jumbo munch dairylea dunkers (:S)
1 mars drink
slimey chicken
marshmallows
martini asti
hot chocolate (highlights)

Tomorrow will be a gain, I've checked :( I went for a long walk on the chevin (just under an hour) and had some laxatives but nowt. I cant get in an arse about it, it is my own undisciplined fault.

really tired....

ran at the gym tonight again. Only managed a minute each time. Think I'm getting worse. Rower I just couldnt do....not under a minute anyway, more like 1m10. Arms really ached. Did core and legs today, going to attempt little plank for 1m30 tomorrow (laughable), side planks for 15 seconds (again... my feet slip out from under me) and upper planks for 40 (I did 30 today). Gymbitch still wants me to have a review.

B at work is pregnant. She found out today. Boyfriend doesnt know. They've been together less than 3 months. It was a deliberate accident.

Checked my account after Sundays shopping extravaganza. My current account is now #2.58 in credit. Shit. Still. At least it's in credit. And my credit card is at zero.

What else can I have for lunch? I'm kind of sick of fat fighters banoffee pies for dessert.

Gym again tomorrow, am tired just thinking about it.

Monday, 11 February 2008

podged....again

Loving the curry. Although I had put on 2lbs this morning :s . My joules jogging bottoms turned up this morning.....THEY FIT!!! An 18! In Joules!!! Bottoms!! S said they were fine (such a boy answer) but I'm not convinced I'd wear them in public.

Went to the gym tonight (fitting in an 18 bottoms inspired me) but only managed cardio and arms. Bit cross now as may as well done the lot, but can go tomorrow. Gymbitch thinks it's time for a review. Hmmm.

OH keeps mentioning my valentines present and what a HUGE thing it is but then gets cross when I ask about it. Boys.

My shoulder is a bit sore tonight.

I think I am going to have to be careful, looking at the new clothes I have bought is not to get carried away with the fact that I fit into clothes from XXXX shop on the high street and wear them regardless, but wear them because they actually FIT and look good.

Sunday, 10 February 2008

Uh-oh, who's in trouble?

I went Shopping today. Only went to HGate for some jogging bottoms and a *little* bit of Lush.

Came home with 2 DVDs, a Wii game, a cd, a *lot* of Lush, a hoody, some jogging bottoms, 4 books and some pants from La Senza.... Assistant in La Senza suggested I get measured for one of their bras :heehee: pointed out I was a GG cup (:blush:) and she told me to get measured there one day as they sized differently. Hmmmm. I might. Dont really want to go up a million back sizes though :S

Spent morning with N on the yard. I missed horses today. Even the shitty (haha) jobs like mucking out and pottering about. Sorted the horse out and got introduced to a few of the liveries. Some potty rules, but actually, they probably mean the yard runs very well. Sometimes they do part loans there, and I was so sorely tempted for in a couple of stones time....but its expensive, it's over 10 miles away, and i suspect I wouldnt fit in with the majority of liveries there (you know, I work and my OHs income is less than several million a year...).

Having fat fighters curry for tea tomorrow and Tuesday (had it lastnight and this too) so I can save points for valentines day. Bit of a bugger having WI the day after, esp as will be having sparkly wine. OH is winding me up saying I'm not allowed his present until after work so I dont blab to everyone about it. Odd.

About Me

I am FB *waves*. 27/F/UK. Fed up of being fat so have decided to make myself an online diary of how its going. Also probably featured within this here blog is my OH, my NeedyKitten and work, which is a petshop.
