Where has my positiveness gone?
I feel like I'm on the brink of slipping back into my old routines.I haven't crumbled just yet,but I'm not as strong as I was at the start.I know I can do this,it's just i've been feeling rather down lately.
I guess it's my current situation,a fair bit of stress on my mind.-It can have two effects really,I completely go nuts and eat anything and everything,or,I don't want to eat at all.Neither of which are healthy options!
But hopefully change is on the way soon,with a new lil part time job at a cafe I got yesterday.I'm one of these people who loves to be busy and occupied,and where I work at the moment it's just so quiet and slow,all I do is think about these worries!I need to get out.I'll still be there,just do some hours at the cafe which should be good.I've never worked as a waitress before,but I've always fancied it.So here's hoping it'll be some good change.
I am aware of some weightloss actually,but I'm not that happy about it.Of course i'm happy some of it's coming off,but it's always been a part of my body I lack in confidence and haven't been happy with-I'd go as far to say I hate it.My boobs
It's all going from them.They're already too small and out of proportion,I really don't like them at all-and like them even less now.Maybe i'll get used to them as I (hopefully) continue to lose weight.But it's making feel very self conscious,more than before.It's not that dramatic really,but it's something i've noticed and,ah don't like it
I'm having a down day today.
Hopefully I'll update later on a higher note,and what i've eaten and done exercise-wise.

Girlie!! *hugs*
Ok, firstly, you're doing so great. Every healthy choice you make is a step towards your goal! Losing inches and weight anywhere is great! We all have spots we'd rather lose it first, but sometimes it's harder! As for the boobs, I'd love to give you some of mine!! hehehehehe
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling down *hugs* but YAY for getting that other job! You should be proud of yourself for that!! Sometimes it's the season, this time of the year is hard...but don't give up! You should look back in your journal and read your first few posts! Your enthusiams and motivation in those posts might trigger it again in you!! You're doing so good! Weight loss is hard work, but it's totally worth it!
How's the skipping going!!? You can do this girlie!!
Just think of the end goal- how hot you're going to be this summer (not that you're not hot now )
Rock it girl! And we're always here for you! if you're feeling down, let us know! I will send you lots of pictures of tiny puppies dress in outfits!! hehehehehe

Awwww Tik bless you!! you're so bloomin lovely awww that made me go all tingly and 'awwww'ish!(I don't think that's a word-you've made me make a new word you were so lovely!) hehe thank you so much for your support.
Reading it back I do feel a bit of a fool,but then again,when you're in one of those moods you can't help it can you!Insecurities are magnified!However,I feel much better today.I am happy because of my new job.It's only waitressing but it's always been one of those jobs i've fancied doing.Being active and social to,I enjoy talking to people and I love how quickly the day goes by.It's also nice to have a bit of contrast from my placement which is so slow and pretty boring.I think being in that sort of environment makes you focus on yourself a lot more.You can't help notice rumbling in your tummy at 10.30 in the morning and fighting the urge to grab some cookies!Whereas when you're busy,you almost forget.(But never completely oh no!haha) it's only been two shifts so far,but i've really enjoyed it.I feel a lot more tired out-so no skipping has been done for a couple of days unfortunately! However! Tomorrow i've got the day and the house free (so no flatmate walking in on me sweating like some sort of nutcase!) so I'll definitely be doing some tomorrow oh yes!
Although I've not gone out of my way to do any exercise,I still feel i'm burning enough off.Spending the whole day on me' feet!And walking to the station and to work,it all adds up doesn't it.
AND!To my surprise-I currently weigh 64kg which is about 141lbs which I wasn't expecting,I've been sticking to my diet during the day,it's just in the evening with the boyface-he makes pizza and buys cookies,I just can't resist!Not very strong there.But as long as I make sure I burn it off exercise-wise (skipping-umundo!) I don't feel so bad.In fact I feel pretty good!
Huzzah!
Starting from tomorrow,I'm going to begin the food diary again,it's silly how i've stopped doing already (mainly due to shame to the awful food i've had during the last couple of days,) and it was really good for me and really encouraged me to stick with it.So next week will be so much better!
Here's to tomorrow!And a nice weekend for all

Lomo! You're so positive too! You have such a great energy! I'm so happy that you're loving your new job! Sometimes that's all we need to pick us up, and get us going again
You can do this! I think the food diary is excellent! don't ever be ashamed of what you eat, and you should always write it down! When i started i didn't write down certain things because I was embarrassed that I ate it! But you know what? That only hurts me!! If I don't write it down, I don't become accountable for it, and I continue the unhealthy eating!!
So totally start a food diary, and keep track of everything you eat! You might be surprised at how well you're doing

It's wednesday,but i've totally got that monday feeling still...it just seems like this week is dragging on by.However,I am happy with how my eatings and exercising is going!I haven't lost any more weight,I'm just hovering on 10 stone at the moment and that's ok,i'm happy with that!hehe i'm expecting it to creep up soon though as it's that dreaded week haha but I always lose it straight after though,it's just big baggy jumpers and lots of water for the time being!
PANCAKE DAY YESTERDAY ahhh I just love it!It's so much fun,I went to a friends house and we all lil compertitions to see who could make the best!It certainly wasn't me though,being all cocky I tried to flip one but it went to high and landed straight back onto the hob!Smoke billowing everywhere haha oh dear.But it was such fun.
I had three,but they were quiet thin hehe I made sure I had my standard breakfast and lunch (porridge,cuppa soup,fruit,low fat yoghurt) to make sure I could afford them calorie-wise,so I don't feel too guilty.I also went out for a 10 min jog after work,so I got a bit of exercise in there too.
Today I've had so far
Breakfast-
Bran flakes and cherrios with no milk.(My god i'm addicted to the bran right now!haha it just tastes so good,I could bloomin live off it!) I reckon it must have come to about 160 calories in all.
I plan to have a lovely cup of tea as a snack in a min!I've been holding off for a while,but it just has to be done!
For lunch I plan to have-
Cup a soup tomato and basil (56 cals)
Weight watchers orange yoghurt (50 cals)
1 X riveta dark rye (31 cals)
a large handful of red grapes (which I also just love at the moment!Shame they're pretty expensive! ) (40 cals)
And for dinner i'm not too sure.I made vegie and bean burritos the other day,made my own low fat tortillas and everything!and they were lovely! (If I do say so myself haha)
I had some left over,so I may make myself a vegetable wrap,my boyfriends coming over so maybe I will so he can have some to!
I've got into baking my own snacks are things lately.I made some nice cookies the other day,that only had a tiny bit of margarine in them,not much sugar and they tasted lovely.Much better than going out and buying some,it's like,if I bake them myself I take more time enjoying the finished product!As aposed to just skoffing the lot. I make them last longer,and save money to!All good stuff.
I'm really enjoying my new job,although it's tiring,it's good to be on my feet all day because I know it's good for my body!I feel like i'm really working for my meals,instead of just sitting all day watching the clock.Wish I was able to quit this placement though,silly uni!Ah well,I'll just try and tough it out.
Skipping when I get in!
Geeeeez last time I did it I could barely manage two mins!Crikey,I need to get into more of a routine with it!Tik my lovely,do you have days in the week/times in the day you dedicate to skipping!? I hope you're well and everythings going well with yoo! I'm going to check out your diary as soon as i've posted this one as it's such a lovely read.You're so motivating and inspiring,it's lovely to read your comments.
Will update pronto with the rest of this slow days happenings!

Hi,
just thought i would comment directly rather than cross posting on Tiks diary.
You would love both Durham and Newcastle.
Durham is small as far as city centres go, but the buildings around the castle and cathedral are beautiful.
Newcastle (i am biased as my home city) is just the right size, again some beautiful buildings like the castle keep and grey st (named after earl grey - the tea fella, he also raised the reform bill and started the abolision of slavery, but also tea).
The city is hilly so good for a walk around but not so big to get lost.
Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you wish to achieve.

Hello Durham Lad!
Thanks for your reply,awww wow well they both sound like beautiful places.When I get paid next I think I may have a day out and be sure to take the train and visit them!It's good for trains here,you can pretty much go wherever you like quiet easily (but not cheaply sadly!)
I love photography,I have so much film to use I would just to go somewhere new and take some lovely photos!So it sounds like both Durham and Newcastle are the places to go!I am also a big Tea fan!So I'll be sure to have a cuppa or two on me travels.
It's funny really,i've been at Uni up here for nearly three years and am still to visit some of the nearby cities and towns to explore (I'm orginially from Essex.) Which is pretty sad!
I do miss the sea though.
Anyway,I shall let you know when I go and visit!Looking forward to reading your journal to

Google maps has great streetview photos for:
Palace Green, Durham, (between the Cathedral, Castle and parts of the university.)
Grey Street, Newcastle, (the street runs from the Tyne right in to the heart of the city with the monument to Earl Grey at the top).
As a GIS analyst I love maps and Google has to be commended for allowing people to see so much of the world from their desk.

well done with your diet lomo your doing great. its great to see you jogging to, i went to the gym for the 1st 4 months of my diet to jog on the treadmills but it hasnt really helped when i come to a outside run, never mind i have a new challenge now to do a 1.5mil run outside without walking.
its great your enjoying your job, it feels like you`ve had a great work out when you`ve been on your feet all day so thats a great bonus while you work.
well done.

You eat so well, Lomo.
I wish I had your discipline.
How do you only have 95 calories for breakfast?
My Oat So Simple is 200. I have it with skim milk though. Hmmmm.
You're so inspiring and I now really want to try one of those Turkish Delight Options hot chocolates.
