Week 6- Almost at my first goal.

I am so shattered after the weekend ive had.

I was terrible. I went out and got completely bladdered on Saturday night..ouch! The calorie content in the cocktails i drank well, doesnt bear thinking of. Then there was the post drinks drunken burger.

Eeeeeeek!

So i sound like i dont really care.. its because i dont. You see, i am at the point of my Slimavite challenge where i trust myself to have a treat but not fall off the wagon completely. As ive said, Slimavite has absolutely changed my life. I owe so much to the team behind it for changing my outlook on the way i am physically. I will never fall off the wagon but i am not going to begrudge myself of the odd treat.

Anyway, i was back on the shakes yesterday despite a stinker of a hangover and the thought of the contents in my stomach curdling.

I even weighed myself yesterday evening because i was fretting over how much weight i had put on. Well, turns out i hadnt gained nor lost. It must have been all that dancing on Saturday night lol!

Anyway, enough of my naughtiness.. Heres my big news!!!!! I HAVE FINALLY SHIFTED MY FIRST STONE!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!

That means my total loss last week was 3lbs.. It seems 3 really is the magic number for me week by week. I am so not complaining though. I am now 1lb away from my first target so thats amazing!! I am almost certain id have hit that come friday but we shall see..

I'm not holding my breath for a 3lb loss this week due to my slow start because of the weekend but i will try my best as i do daily to shake those pounds off. I am still not seeing the changes round the middle which is frustrating as i really want to drop a dress size..I guess that will happen when the times right, until then i cant knock what ive lost as it is amazing. Its the most i have ever lost. YAY! Go me!!

Anyway, things to do,pounds to shift.

See you next week!

Week 5- That little bit more to go..

Helloooooooo!

So..Ive had a fantastic week. 

At the beginning of the week i was very surprised by the arrival of this....

 

 Its a card from the Slimavite team saying thanks for the feedback etc and well done on my weight loss journey. It was such a nice gesture and i must admit it really made my morning. 

Slimavite is slowly but surely changing my life. It sounds daft because its weight loss but its doing so much for my confidence and each time i step on that wii fit i can look at my weight and begin to feel proud of myself.  I still have quite a way to go but i'll get there.I'm determined. I am also determined to make everyone proud of me ie friends and family but mostly my son. He is the main reason for me doing this as i didnt want to get to a weight where i couldnt run around and play with him any more. If i had carried on the way i was then i would have been at that stage and it would have broken my heart. Its not going to come to that now. Everytime i step on the scales and see a loss, it spurs me on to go and lose some more!!! 

Anyhoooooooo,to the point. I weighed myself today. Another 3lb loss this week.Amazingggg!! It means my total loss now tallies at a fab 13lbs! 1lb off a stone..woop!! I still have 4lbs to go before i hit my first target so thats not bad at all.. Once ive hit that, Target number 2 will be set and boy,am i ready for it!!

Anyway, ta for all the support, I really do appreciate it. It really puts a smile on my face. 

Off now..See you next week!

Ciao for now

week 4- The Holiday

Hellooooo!
Well what a week its been. A lovely one at that and i'm sad that it ended to be honest.
I went to stay with my lovely grandparents nr Margate in Kent. I dont see them very often and im quite close to them so it was absolutely fab to spend the week with them.
We did soooooo much. From visiting a zoo to relaxing on the sandy beach of Broadstairs. I enjoyed every moment!
When it came to Slimavite i was a tad naughty, but you know, i dont regret it!
I went away on the friday evening so that day i had 2 shakes and when i got to nans, i had a gorgeous home made Shepherds Pie..Or cottage pie..ahh its all the same to me!Then i had a tiny square of nans choc cake she'd made (good for me as normally she makes loadsa cake when we go up and i eat the majority..this year i didnt so im worried a lot of cake will go to waste haha!)For the first 2 days i was good and had my two shakes a day.. come day 3 it just wasnt possible as we were always out around lunchtime so it was just easier to have something light whilst out or make something light when we eventually got in. (either rice cakes, a cheese sandwich or a salad)
I also had 2 meals out...eeeek! But i was good with them. We went to the Harvester one night and i had the meal with the lowest calories on there, It consisted of a small chicken breast, a jacket potato and peas. OMG it was lush!! Not bad for 560 calories. Then i had a Sundae Best coming in at 260 Calories. So ok not great but you gotta treat yourself at some point. Besides.I only had quarter of the thing. My grandad ate the rest of it.Along with his own.Oh and Joshys..Yes 2 and a half sundays!!! (it sounds like my family are a bunch of obese people but i assure you we arent lol!!)
The day after that we went to the beach and decided to go to the pub for lunch.. Well it was packed so my Grandad suggested Frankie and Benny's... The thought of it made me think 'eeek not good not good' but hey it was what the majority of all of us wanted that mattered and Josh was getting ratty because he was hungry.
So we got there and sat down to be told half the stuff on the lunch menu wasnt there as they didnt have a delivery.Healthy meal out the window then.
I shared a couple of dough balls with Josh and me Grandad and had a hot dog and fries for lunch.My god, the size of the hot dog..Ive never seen anything like it!!! Was absolutely delish though and my Joshy helped me finish the thing.
When we got back to nans that day, i did sit and think about the two meals i had at restaurants and felt massively guilty towards my body as i worried it would make me gain lots of weight. Nan kept telling me not to worry! In fact, she told me some very wise words and you know i believe them!
She said 'When on a diet, you have to cheat occasionally.If you dont then you will end up failing spectacularly because you would have been too strict on yourself'.
As i said, shes probably right. Knowing me, im doing so well now,it may have come to a point where i may have caved. So the guilt vanished.
So friday came and it was time to go home. In the car, i kept worrying about what the wii fit would tell me when i got home. Id expected to have put on like 4lbs..
Well shocker!!! I didnt. Id actually LOST 1lb.. Ok not much but its something and as id had a week of being lenient with the diet it was pretty awesome. I came to the conclusion it must have been all the walking id done. The mile and a half to grandads bowls club,walk around wildwood nature park,walk around a museum,mile odd walk to grandads car from the beach etc.
Im so proud of myself for that as it has taken my total loss to 11lb. Not much more to go now!
My weigh in day will change to a thursday now. I know i weighed on a friday but some fridays i dont find the time, so thursdays itll be.. It just means this week ill push myself that little bit harder.
Anyway, I'm off now..Hoping the tons of walking ive done today has contributed to some weight loss..Ahh well..im about to find out!
Bye for now!
