Giving myself time every week.

I have decided, and it won't be easy, to commit to giving myself at least one evening/day every week to do something for me. This boils down to me realising that if I really want to be able to reflect, move forward and make decisions I also need to dedicate some time to me every… Continue reading Giving myself time every week.

Week 15 @ Target: 2017 #goals

Hello, all. So as you may know I am not really at target, not properly, and I do think my target was hard for me to keep following my illness and recovery. It didn't at the time feel like a natural weight as I hadn't got there naturally, however I do need to re-kick my… Continue reading Week 15 @ Target: 2017 #goals

Ulcerative Colitis

A BIG UPDATE!!

You all may or may not have noticed that I have been exceptionally silent over the past 7 weeks or so, this was not by my choice, after writing my last post at the end of July I started feeling really unwell. At first I just thought that I had caught a stomach bug and… Continue reading A BIG UPDATE!!

Week 58: +0.5lbs

I am annoyed to have put on, but my weekend wasn't particularly great with 2 BBQ's and lots of dessert (I seriously struggle saying no to cream....). I was better on the other days around the weekend however and did more exercise so luckily it wasn't a massive gain, but still not what I wanted. So the… Continue reading Week 58: +0.5lbs

Week 57: -2.5lbs!

While I still have a good way to go to recoup the gains I have made over the past couple of months I was very pleased to come in with a 2.5lb loss this evening. I was hoping for a loss but I just wasn't sure at all so it felt very positive. If I had… Continue reading Week 57: -2.5lbs!

Week 52: -4lbs! YAY!

I LOST 4lbs!!! This means I need to only lose half a pound to shift last weeks gain, however I really want to lose more than that for next week! I am so pleased that I lost, especially as it was my birthday weekend and that is never a good combination for weight loss. I… Continue reading Week 52: -4lbs! YAY!

Week 49: Maintain

Definitely was disappointed not to lose this week, however, it was good not to have put on again. Really got to get back in the mindset of losing again. I am on holiday next week in the Lake District, and as it is a holiday I probably will not be amazing on the weight loss… Continue reading Week 49: Maintain

Slimming World – missing a weigh in.

It is a bit annoying but I have to miss a weigh in as I am driving to Leicester this evening for a work conference. I can't book it off either as I have used all my weeks up. So a bit frustrating really. But at least it gives me a chance to kick my… Continue reading Slimming World – missing a weigh in.

Week 39: -1lbs – yay!

It may not be much, in fact it may be miniscule in the grand scheme of things but having a loss this week felt so good! It was a really good self-starter to get going and get on with everything. It was fantastic! Now I just need to stay on track, get back in control and… Continue reading Week 39: -1lbs – yay!

Week 38: Maintain

I maintained this week. Which is far better than a gain in my books. I am getting frustrated with myself though as I can't seem to get fully back into the swing of things! I don't know why exactly, maybe its because I keep getting distracted by life events! Who knows. I know our house… Continue reading Week 38: Maintain
