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!!!!
