Getting to the mark!

Another 2 weeks has been and gone..oops.
Its not that i dont want to post, i just get busy and before i know it, time has passed lol!!


So, life has been pretty awesome the last 2 weeks..ive just been getting organised for christmas and using Just Dance 3 and shaking it up with Slimavite..choccie shakes all the way.,..even with a cheeky sprinkling of chocolate on them when i use hot milk...Yes! Its amazeeeeee!!


Bloody knackering though i tell you!


In regards to my weight though, ive dropped another 3lbs since my last post. I just think in general that my weight loss has slowed right down. Not sure why as im not doing anything different to what i did at the beginning. I guess the smaller you get the less you lose. But 3lbs to me, its fantastic and just 3lbs closer to who i want to be.
My clothes are quite baggy now and if one more person tells me i need to 'buy a smaller size' or 'get new leggings' i may be inclined to slap them lol!! I know they are meaning well and what they are saying is really a compliment but ive been told so much you wouldnt believe. I dont see much difference in myself but others seem to be. They do say that you dont always see the changes in yourself.
I mean, even my stepdad last week told me that ive lost my double chin the cheeky git!!! It made me laugh though and smile because i know that deep down my appearance is gradually changing..Not that im complaining.
I must admit though, i tried on a dress that im wearing out for my birthday next month and it didnt cling to me and make me look like an overweight lump..I kinda looked hot haha!!!
So my total weight loss to date is now 2st 9lb... YAY...less than half a stone to go before the 3st mark.Its exciting!
I do hope i get to the 3st mark before christmas though.That would be the little christmas present to myself. OK so im likely to gain weight over the christmas period.Its to be expected from lots of people in the world, so i wont beat my self up if i do lose the 3st and then gain again because i do know that i WILL get rid of it again..Its not welcome :D
Anyway, I shall try and get back to you next week in the hope im that one step closer. We shall see.


Ciao for now!

Naughty Jo.

Hiyaaaaa!


I know i know! Its been 2 weeks since my last post and i sincerely apologise.


Its been a hectic 2 weeks.I went on holiday to Hastings and to see Britney Spears in concert and various fireworks displays..Alongside that its just been busy busy busy!!!


So here i am..Im back.


Yes, Naughty Jo is what the title of this post reads. True to its name. Ive been very naugthy and i abandoned my slimavite challenge and hot pants challenge for when i was on holiday and the Britney concert (WHICH WAS AMAZE!!!!). It wasnt a case of 'losing my willpower' but a case of 'its an occasion' .
Maybe you will see this as a pathetic excuse..a cop out.Well those that do, think exactly what you like because i havent lost the willpower and ive not backed out of either challenge.Just put it on hold.
Being on holiday, Its hard to stick to a particular diet as you are always on the go. Knowing this, i went away minus my shakes and hotpants. I ate chips,burgers and pizza. And it was HEAVEN!!!!
OK, so i felt so guilty on my body and kept thinking of the scales for when i did get round to weighing myself. With every bite of that burger i kept seeing +5lbs appearing before my eyes.. and it made me feel ten times worse. Not that it stopped me. It was the tastiest burger id ever had.Maybe because i knew that in every day normal life, it was forbidden.Something i do not allow myself to eat.  I also reasoned with myself that all the things i got up to whilst away would help burn away that fat and those calories.
So when i finally did get home on the Tuesday last week.I took the plunge. I switched on the wii fit and closed my eyes..All i could see was the burger, pizza,chips etc that id eaten..Thats when it hit home.Id really taken advantage of being on holiday.I panicked.Not that i could do anything about it at this point but i started to worry.


Then came the dreaded result. I had gained 4lbs.I was back up to ?st 11lbs from ?st 1lbs...eeeeek!!!


Ok so i must admit..i had a little cry. Id done so well up to this point.I even messaged my mum..She reassured me that id lose it easy. I wasnt too sure.
But this past week,ive worked hard.Ive used the wii fit, ive walked to various places and ive been back on the shakes and healthy food and drink. Ive even weighed myself every evening to see whether it was paying off.I know they say once a week is good to weigh yourself, i needed to make sure the work was paying off and that if it wasnt i could up my game.

I am pleased to say though, it has worked. Out of that 4lbs that i gained, i have lost 3...So thats not bad...right?
This forthcoming week, i am going to try and shift at least another 2-3lbs..I can do it.I know i can.I HAVE to.
Anyway, best go for now...Hopefully next week, my post will be brimming with positivity!!!
