Well Hello!

I cannot believe its been nearly a year since I last posted. Time flies.

This past year has seen the birth of my second daughter, Zoe on 21 April 2008 (10 days overdue and born my elective c-section) Amy turned 2 and me getting fatter lol.

Amy is a little madam and a complete chatterbox so everyone has to watch what they are saying very carefully especially after an episiode of Amy saying bugger a lot after I let it slip.

Peter is still overworked and underpaid!

A week after Zoe was born I was only 4lbs away from my pre-pregnancy (but overweight) weight but Zoe was/is a very demanding baby and had terrible colic so I wasnt eating properly and Peter can eat loads of crap and still lose weight and I was eating the same as him so the weight crept back on and when Zoe was 4 months old I weighed nearly as much as I did at 9 months pregnant!!!!

I re-joined slimming world a few weeks ago and have so far lost 8.5lbs. I seem to be struggling a bit more this time around and have been losing half a pound here and there which is very depressing especially when I have been 100% good.

So there we are that is the past year. Hopefully this time next year I will be 4+ stone lighter. I turn 30 on 25 March 2009 and would love to weigh under 13st as I havent weighed that little in 10 years so a big deal for me and then after my 30th I shall work on the rest of the weight and fingers crossed by Christmas 2009 I shall be a different woman.

I am doing a lot of walking with the kiddies which is helping and using the Wii Fit which is a lot of fun and makes you think your not actually exercising. I am yet to beat Peter's score with the Advanced Step but I shall get there plus I am beating him at the advanced boxing so swings and roundabouts!

Food today is:-
B- 2 weetabix (b), 250ml semi-skimmed milk (a) and a banana
L - Ham & 28g Cheese (a) om followed by a pack of limbos (3 syns) and a hifi bar (b).
D - Loads of very lean beef with swede, carrots, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, runner beans and some stock followed by melon and a Not Guilty lolly (1.5 syns)

Tuesdays are still my weigh-in days so unless anything particular grabs me I shall report back next Tuesday.

Long Time No Speak.....

Well I apologise for the lack of posts from me but things have been pretty hectic here. My weight is stuck but I do have a valid excuse......
I AM PREGNANT!!!

I am due on 12 April although could be before that if I have an elective section or 2 weeks after that if I try (read am made) to have a natural birth. Had my scan today and all is well.

I shall try posting more regularly however the weight loss is taking a back seat for the moment.

Finally Lost

Well I finally lost weight, although it wasnt the amount I had hoped for at the beginning of last week, it was only 1lb but hey ho a 1lb is still a 1lb.

I am going to be cooking new meals from scratch this week so a bit scary with various foods I have never cooked before. Fingers crossed the meals actually turn out how they are supposed to.

Another Gain!

I gained 1lb this week oops. That makes 4 weeks in a row that I have now gained (and half a stone).

I MUST get back on track as I hate that I have done so well and now its all going back on. I dont have anything major happening between now and xmas so there is no excuse!

Fingers crossed I can report back next week with a good loss.

Happy 30th Birthday Peter

Well is was my wonderful husband's birthday yesterday and he reached the grand old age of 30.

We had a surprise party for him on saturday at his parents house and I have to say it was bloody hard lying to him for the past few months about this that and the other. Trying to get invites out and replies back without him knowing, making sure he had saturday and today off work, hoping that no one blabbed and gave the game away (especially not me!).

He had a great day and lots of drink was involved ;o)

Yesterday for his actual birthday we had a quiet day and saw a few family members and then went out for a meal last night (que more drinking!).

We are all totally knackered now, especially Amy bless her. She didnt go to bed until 10.30 on saturday (usually she is in bed by 7pm)and so yesterday she was a tired little bunny.

Weigh in tomorrow *gulp* I am expecting another gain, probably 3 or 4lbs. Thankfully after this weekend we have no more big birthdays or weddings or anniversaries or anything until christmas yay. Just need to get back into the swing of it all now and eat proper food rather than the rubbish I have been having.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER.....I love you so very much and hope you have enjoyed your birthday. -x-x-x-

Happy Birthday Mummy

Its my mum's birthday today. She never usually likes her birthdays for one reason or another so am hoping that today she will enjoy herself. Unfortunately one of her cats (actually my old cat that I had to give her as she recked my flat) Meadow died suddenly on Monday night so that has put a downer on things but fingers crossed we can make her birthday a happy event!

I gained 2lbs yesterday ooops. I am my own worst enemy sometimes as I have been eating so much cr@p the past few weeks and had a gain 3 weeks in a row now. I woulod be happy to lose 1lb next week but I dont know whether that is going to happen or not as Peter's 30th is on Sunday and we have plans all weekend. Luckily I am not going to drink as I will be driving. I dont usually drink anymore anyway since having Amy as I am too much or a light weight.

Amy has been a nightmare since having her jabs, up and down all night the last couple of nights to a very moody baby!

Transformers - The Movie

We went to see the new Transformers movie on saturday night and I have to say it was excellent. I thought the FX were fabulous and I hope they decide to make another one.

The in-laws looked after Amy so we could go as we havent been out just the two of us since the beginning of December last year so it was well overdue for us to go out.

Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary (which is why we went out on Saturday night) and so far I have been doing lots of washing (to be ironed later) and took Amy to have her booster jabs which she really cried at which made me want to cry :o( Poor baby.

Weigh-In is tomorrow but I dont know if I want to go as I have been really naughty yet again this week - oops. Will see how I feel tomorrow and decide whether I am brave enough to go and step on the scale. This week I have no-one else to blame - or do I!?!?!?
