Hey Everyone.
So I don't normally do a mid-week update but thinking maybe i would start to do one. This week has been especially hard. I started to get ill on Tuesday night and then woke up on Wednesday (which was my birthday) and i just felt so awful and then my daughter started catching it and we went to my mums and we was suppose to have a low syn Slimming World Lasagne but i just felt so awful that i really didnt have the energy to help cook it, and i was really craving Pizza so my mum said she would get me one as i was feeling so awful and just wanted to pig out, that night I also had Ice cream and cake and chocolate trifle too... I know it was really bad, Scarlet then had a bad night because the cold was setting in for her too. So Thursday came and Scarlet was so ill and tired she stayed on me all day and she didnt eat anything and niether did I, apart from high syn snacks such as cake and chocolate. Its now friday and I'm still ill, I havent had breakfast but i did have some lunch which was half a tin of Ravioli which was only 3 syns. Unfortunately Scarlet is at Justin's for the weekend and with the combination of me being on my own and my being ill I'm trying hard not to lack on my eating, I find it hard to eat when Scarlet is not home because I dont like cooking for 1 person i find it a bit depressing tbh, after nearly 2 years of living alone I am still not used to cooking and eating for myself only. I have instagram account where I have found some fellow slimmers too which is good because they put up pics of their meals and it helps keeping me motivated and seeing what other people are doing visually other than just listening like in group.
I have to go shopping today once Scarlet has gone off to his house, and I have been looking through the new cookery book that i got from Slimming World on Tuesday, which btw is absolutely brilliant theres loads of recipes that are brilliant and most of it is done in 30 mins or less which is great for everyone i believe. I really am going to try and keep to plan this weekend, well tbh i need to try and eat something this weekend. I am also looking for other bloggers that are slimming and that are on Slimming world too.
Thank you for listening

Weight catch up!
Hey Everyone,
So I didn't check in with you guys last week, I did lose last week and this week but it was only 1/2lb each week. Which to be honest im quite happy about it because i have been out last two weeks and eaten out and not really chosen well whilst I have been out and I have been drinking alcohol too so i am surprised and happy that i have been losing so it is all going the right way :D.
So my birthday is tomorrow (26th feb) and i asked my parents to pay for me to have a 12 week countdown course with Slimming World which is going to be a massive motivator for me and I want to be at my target weight or at least very very close to it. I have 2 and half stone left in 5 weeks ive lost 5lbs which averaged at 1lb a week, which is good but I want to boost it, I lost 3lbs on my first week and i have the food diary of that week so i am going to try and do the same things to this week and I am also going to do lots of exercise this week too. I have been looking at old pics of myself before I was pregnant and I really really want to get back to that I feel that was the real me and I look at myself in the mirror now and i dont recognise who i am or what i am anymore. I know I am a mum but a massive part of my reasons for this is because i want to get myself to have a healthy relationship with food so that my daughter doesnt grow up with a body image problem and she knows that she is beautiful but healthy eating is also what makes you healthy and being healthy is what makes you beautiful too.
This week is about getting back on track and putting 100% into this week and every week after this I am sick of hating what i see in the mirror i want to look in the mirror and smile and look at myself in my underwear and be confident and hell a little cocky too :) and i will get there i wont have my daughter obese or anorexic because she grew up watching me obsess about my weight and see me hate myself and how i look, I want her to see me confident and smiles and happy and wearing what i like. I want her to have a great body image i want her to be confident and happy and not have to worry about weight whilst shes growing up.
See you all next week where i hope to have a 2lb weight loss :D

I am sooo so happy with my weight loss this week. I do have a goal of 3lbs to lose next week and I will get it, I have an exercise plan too this week and that is to do sessions on my Xbox game for at least 30 mins a minimum.
Im so happy that ive lost this week and I aim on losing my 3lbs and also do my 3 hrs of exercise a week.

Weigh-in day
Hey everyone,
So today was weigh-in day and I am not really happy about it I put on 1/2 lb, I know that it is not much but it has bummed me out so much because I was soo happy and soo proud of myself last week when i lost 3 lbs... but i know why it happened and i know what i didn't do. So I will let my self have the night to feel bad and a bit rubbish but then tomorrow I am getting back to no bad food, no chocolate. I am also getting my exercise routine back on track, I do want my half stone award by the end of February.
So today is only a short on basically just to keep you guys up to date with my journey.
Hope you all have a great week and see you next week.

First weigh in
Hey everyone,
So today is Tuesday 28th January, today is not my normal day for weigh-in but unfortunately i am not able to go to my normal weigh-in which is Wednesday evenings. So today i went to another Slimming World group this afternoon and i found out that i have LOST 3LBS.... I am so proud of myself i have worked hard this week to stay on plan, i did have a bad day on Sunday but i decided in the evening on Sunday that i was going to forget about it and get back on plan on the Monday. I have been very good with my meals i have cooked from scratch and most of my evening meals have been Syn free. I have measured out my milk allowances every day and actually finished it. I have also had my healthy extra B of 2 slices of wholemeal bread a day. I have kept my treats to a minimum and always within my Syn allowance (15 syn per day). My favourite meal that i did this week was my beef stir-fry it was sooo yummy and made completely syn free.
I have also exercised alot this week. I did have a goal of 3 hours a week but i didnt quite get there but i still very well and as i have my gorgeous girl and no1 on tap for babysitting i cant go to the gym (and i cant afford it). I have an Xbox that has a Kinect and i have some fitness games that i use and i have a Zumba one that i have been doing 3x times this week at 20 minute sessions. I do believe that the exercise has really contributed to my weight loss, it tends to go really slow if i dont exercise.
So the plan this week is to try not to have a bad day food wise and also to exercise from Thursday (as not in my home till then) to Tuesday night 20-30 minute sessions.
My aim is to lose 4LBS this week as i really want my half stone award to help motivate me more.
So wish me luck guys and i will talk to you guys on Wednesday night week. Hopefully ill have my half stone award to show you guys :).

Not a happy bunny!
Hey everyone,
So my new years resolution hasnt been a complete flop but its not great either. So i decided that i need to take the plunge and re join Slimming World and this time I WILL DO IT!!!! I think what will keep me going is getting on those scales every week. As my scales at home are not at all accurate. I still have the same goal and in the same timescale...I need to plan my day better i think thou because i want to exercise and i need to incorporate it into my day along with everything else i have to so in my every day life being a single mum to a toddler you forget things like exercise but i really really want to do and i am determined to get to my target weight by July!!!
So i am going to tell you guys what i weigh because tbh i think that will help me too... im not happy with what i saw on the scales tonight. I weigh 11st and 2lbs. I hate the fact that im in the 11stone mark. I need to get going and once i start seeing results i know that my self esteem and confidence will soar through the roof. I really really want this to happen and i know i can do it i just need to stay motivated and stay focused.
Thanks for letting me share everyone

This one is about one of my resolutions! the Weight loss!!
Hey everyone,
How was your weekend? Hope it was all good. Mine was good i went out to take my mind off the fact my baby girl had to go see HIM!...
Anyway this post is about me starting to lose weight, I follow the Slimming World Diet, but atm finances are not allowing me to be able to go to a Group so im using you guys (if there are any of you :D ) to be my image therapy. I hope you dont mind ive roped you all into this lol.
So the ultimate goal is to lose 3 stone by July now thats only losing 2lbs a week so it can be done and I CAN DO IT! Now I am going to set myself a minimum goal of 2lbs a week however in my head im going to aim for more! I am also going to get fit too i have a cardio workout on my Xbox so i am going to do that 3x a week and also i have a programme that a personal trainer set up for me last year so i am going to adapt that for home another 3x a week I think putting it online for everyone to see to help me stay on target and im also going to post pics of me and hope that will help me to stay focused. I also have a vibrating abs machine to help with the mutffin top of my stomach and get it trimmer and more toned.
Im going to cut out chocolate, if i do have a drink i am going to have something like a vodka and diet pepsi or pepsi max instead of smirnoff ice. i am cutting out sweets (which is my biggest problem) and i am going to make things from scratch and not pre made such as i will have a fresh chicken breast not a breaded chicken breast from birds eye. Im going to have more vegetables and cut my portions down and also going to introduce breakfast as i skip breakfast a lot of the time.
I am also going to watch programmes like 'got thin then got fat again' and 'secret eaters' and 'supersize vs superskinny'. I really do need to do this for me to feel better about myself and get myself how i want to be.
So this week i am going to post a pic of my weight i was at my happiest and thats where i want to be again. It is me in my underwear with a shirt on just to warn you as i dont want anyone to take offence to it.
Thank you for being my motivation guys :)

Its 2014!!!
Hey everyone, (hope theres some people out there)
So its 2014 and well 2013 ending absolutely horrendously :(, i am about to start a custody battle with my daughters dad as he is claiming that I am not fit to look after my daughter, which is total S**T!!! I dont know why hes doing this. I am not going to let him and his gf take my daughter, she tries acting like Scarlet is her daughter which is really starting to annoy me and i feel like there isnt a lot i can do about it, but I REFUSE to let it get to me and get me down. I AM NOT GOING TO LOOSE MY DAUGHTER!!!!!
Anyway before i start getting annoyed and upset and start crying on my keyboard im going to move on. So 2014 resolutions are;
- Be more organised (I need to have everything in order and get some routine.)
- Set some clear routines to be followed everyday.
- Lose weight (i need to build my self confidence and be happy in my own skin I dont want Scarlet to have body issues)
- Be fitter
- Blog more (not sure if i have any followers or if anyone actually reads me moaning lol)
- Do some more crafting (paper and jewellery making.)
- Be happy to be by myself (which i believe will come when i lose some weight)
- Improve my baking.
- And finally decorate mine and Scarlet's bedroom.
So there is my list of resolutions lol, i dont think any of them are unachievable but i know that its going to be hard and especially the losing weight is going to take some discipline and will-power. I am determinded to finish this year on a high not like i ended 2013 full of worry and full of tears in my eyes. I want to be happy and i know theres only one person who is going to make myself happy is me. I dont doubt that there is going to be massive struggles during this custody battle but i know i am capable to look after my daughter and im working on my depression and my anxiety with my own self esteem and i know there are loads of fantastic mums who have and do suffer depression. I wont let it define me and i will get better and i will not loose my daughter no matter what she is my world and i will not give her up and i will fight for her. I do have wonderful family and some fantastic wonderful girls online that i speak to thanks to groups on facebook.
So my question is whats your new years resolutions?
Happy new year everyone!!!!
