Busy busy busy!

I meant to update my weight loss last week, but I had L off school with a rather nasty tummy bug. I managed to lose 3lbs, which I was really impressed with.

Since then, I have still had L off school as he was still not 100%, and then to find out that a child in L's class has swine flu. My thoughts were then, he is not going to school until he has his sf jab on weds (tomorrow).

I have also had C off school for the past 2 days after he decorated the dining hall floor at school with vomit. My thoughts towards this were quite cruel, as I kept laughing about the fact that I didn't have to clear it up.

Today started out as a good day, as it is my 8th wedding anniversary (yay), but as I had both boys off school it was a tad stressful taxing. Everything went ok until dinner time tonight, when L decided to get in a strop with me & started swearing. Things finally got sorted out just before me & hubby went out for a meal, as L finally cracked from his strop & said sorry.

We went for a meal to a local gastro pub, which is the same pub that we met in 17 years ago. We had great food, a couple of drinks & then got to the point where we became old farts decided that going home was more comfy than sitting in a pub.

Oh yeah, I weighed myself today too. In 6 weeks I have lost exactly 1 stone in weight (Yayyyyyyy!!!).

Full on Lego induced OCD.....

C decided to ask me this morning if I could sort out his Lego so that he could find the wheels that he has in there.

This has now led to me having my full on sorting out Lego OCD. I have been sitting there playing getting a lot of the non-standard bits separated, as he has had so many sets of different models which have now been broken apart & chucked in with everyone else.

I'm so glad that L & C's carer is coming over in less than a hour to drag me away from the Lego. I know she will start playing then too lol.

No change..... And a grading......

*sigh* It has been another week with no weight loss. I am starting to think that my weight loss only seems to show every 2 weeks.

I have been on the tablets for a month now & I am hoping that it is not going to plateau off at this point.

On a good point, I took my kickboxing grading yesterday (monday 2nd nov) for my brown stripe belt 1st tip. I'm very glad to say that I passed, but I really naffed it up afterwards as I was asked to go through some previous self defence moves & my mind went completely blank.

I have been told that I am going to be tested on all of them next month *aarrggghhhhh*!!!

Happy happy week

It has been a very good week for weight wise. My eldest son L had his paediatrician appointment yesterday & he has managed to put on a kilo in weight since august, which for him is an amazing thing.
For myself, I am liking the scales this week. I am on day 21 of my tablets & I have lost another 3lbs this week. Yay!!!!!!

I have a very busy time this week as it is half term & we have loads of appointments for L (2 on monday, 1 on tues & 2 on weds), so hopefully this will not have any impact on weight loss.

Current weight: 12stone 11lbs
Current jeans size: Size 16

Bl**dy Scales

Day 14 of the tablets......

I'm sure my scales are dodgy (lol). Sadly I haven't lost any weight this week, but I am still pleased that my waist size has obviously reduced as I can properly fit into my size 16 jeans, whereas 2 weeks ago I was wearing size 18's (they were a bit big though).

I'm getting to the point now where I usually slip up on any diet & eat rubbish, but I am determined to make this work. I have been going to my kickboxing & doing 2 sessions a week for 90 mins each (very hard work), jumping round like a lunatic on the trampoline in the garden, going mad on the housework & I am about to get the wii out & use the fitness trainer game on there.

Please let me lose some weight next week or I will go (a bit more) loopy.

Day 11 on diet

Wow I have been on the tablets for 11 days now & I still feel great. I have not weighed myself again yet, as I have the risk of getting very dissapointed if I haven't lost as much as I expected, but I decided to try on my size 16 jeans that I quite rapidly outgrew within the past few months.

I can fit in them & they are quite comfy. I may still have the "muffin top" thing going on, but it's better than the "whole bakery top" that has been going on recently.

I just can't get used to wandering round the supermarket & walking straight past the bakery section without getting any cravings.

I even bought chocolate recently & it took me 2 whole days to eat a lion bar!

Current weight: ???

Jeans size: Back to a 16 YAY!!!!

Trying to lose weight....

I have been trying to lose weight very unsucessfully for a long time now, so a couple of weeks ago I finally plucked up the courage to speak to my GP about it.
I had recently changed GP surgerys as my last one was not exactly helpful when I asked about losing weight. Her reply was "join slimming world or weight watchers". I had already been a member of ww & I had lost 2 stone in 6 months. Sadly this was all that I could lose from doing their plan & some of it went back on.

My new GP decided that because of the excercise that I do & the healthy eating, that there were some concerns as to why I wasn't losing any weight. I had blood taken to be tested for Thyroid disorder, cholesterol & iron levels. These came back as quite good results. My thyroid levels are borderline underactive, but then I expected that, and my cholesterol levels were slightly high, but it's the good cholesterol that is high.

I was then prescribed Reductil as an appetite supressant. I started taking this last wednesday (07/10/09) and I weighed 13 st 9lbs.
The feelings I have had on this are pretty good. I have loads of energy & feel quite elated most of the time. I get one of the side effects which is a dry mouth, but this is good as it means that I drink loads of water. My hunger levels are gradually decreasing, but in this first week I am having to practice quite a bit of self control, as I got into the habit of eating beacuse I was bored.
I weighed myself this morning (13/10/09) and I am pleased to announce that I now weigh 13 st 0 lbs. Yay 6 lbs lost in 7 days!!!

The other good side of these tablets is that I have never been so organised, as I keep tidying up my house!
