Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
BABYYYY THAT IS AMAZING.
*huggggs*
YOU ARE THE BESSSTEST.
 
Thanks ladies!! I'm super excited to finally be in the 10 stones! Means i'm only 1 stone away from being in the 9's which is my goal! Eeeeeek!!!
 
Thanks guys!! :)

I will be taking progress pics eventually, but not until i'm around another 8lb down, I don't think there would be a difference otherwise :)

Today.........

Breakfast
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
Weight watchers chicken casserole
Yogurt

Tea
2 scrambled eggs with beans
Yogurt

Snacks
2 WW biscuits
Quavers
2 milky ways (Naughty Stacey! lucking they only have 98 cals each ...it could be worse).
Bottle of juice.
 
Ohhhh look at that. 153lbs. Amazing.
Milkyway. The healthiest chocolate choice you could make probably. Good jobbb.
 
Hehe I thought so too. I really fancied some chocolate and thought ooo milkyways aren't too bad in calories. I should have only had 1 really but nevermind!

I'm having trouble getting up and exercising tonight. I feel exhausted (I was awake before 6 this morning), I just have no energy, my head is screaming at me to go to sleep. But its far too early, so ideally i'd do an hours exercise, have a shower and then toddle off to bed. I just need to move my backside off this comfy bed and get going but I feel so bleurggh! I keep telling myself I should otherwise the scales won't budge tomorrow morning but even thats not working. I'm just so tired today, I can't really afford to miss another days exercise because I didn't do any last night. Grrr!

I think if you're physically too tired, you should listen to your body.
You dont want to injure yourself.
I took today off because my body was screaming for a rest.
 
^ What Carrie said. If you feel like you really have to exercise, go for a walk or something, at most. (Although it's a shame that the weather's turned)
 
It's ok! Exercise has been done, woop woop! I took a day off yesterday so I really didn't want to have to today. After much persuasion in my own head (I kept telling myself the scales would plonk me back in the 11s if I didn't exercise tonight) so I eventually moved my backside and got moving. And i'm glad I did because now I feel so much better knowing its done :D

- Wow dvd (warm up and cardio section)
- 80 squats
- 50 press ups
- 50 crunches

.............Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
Well done you. You're soooo motivating.
Ooooh that's a lot of squats. You must have a hot ass.
 
great job stacey! keep up the hard work!

I agree, the mind can certainly take over, true persuasion. We need to just go out there and get some activity! I'm NEVER disappointed when I go to the gym, even when I never wanted to go!
 
Thanks misspoodle! :)

Now this is going to be a self pity post so if anyone feels they can't deal with my whinging then feel free to ignore.

Whats been really getting to me today is my scars.
I had an accident when I was a baby which left me with large burn scars on my left neck and my left upperarm. Now i've had these scars since I was a baby obviously and they don't usually bother me but I was looking in the mirror today to look at my hair from the side and I realised just how ugly the scar on my neck actually is. It really got to me. And then I felt so guilty because there is so many people worse off than me in terms of scars and technically i'm lucky because it could have been my face rather than my neck. 99% of the time i'm perfectly fine with them because i've had my whole life to being used to them but occasionally I do get down like today. Really I should remind myself not to look at myself in the mirror from the left hand bloody side.

Now, onto the next issue. My stretch marks. I don't mind them on my thighs and hips because most of them have faded and they're not really noticeable. But the ones that are really getting to me are the ones on my stomach and right arm. I've got them on the upper right arm going around, fair enough I started getting them a while ago because of my weight but now i'm losing weight and they're still bloody coming! I can't put fake tan on because it doesn't stick properly to my other scarred arm so it goes patchy. And then those on my stomach just look downright disgusting, I really hope they fade, and not in like 10 years time either. The sooner the better.

Sorry for my rant/whinging/self pity but its something thats been getting to me all day.
 
I've never noticed your scars in the photos you posted.
I guess growing up with them, you mostly get used to them.. but then sometimes, you forget and they bring you down.
It's only natural.
Cuz they make you feel different.
Still, they're representative of a battle you fought and won before you could even talk.
Theyve probably helped to make you the wonderful person you are today.
Remember that we are always much more critical of ourselves than other people are.

As for stretchmarks, i feel you. I have some on my stomach that I hate.
The more weight you lose, they will fade.
Do you ever put cocoa butter on them? It actually does help.
 
Thanks :) I know i keep telling myself that, that I should be grateful that its not worse or that I survived. I'm ok today, it was just yesterday - one of those days!

I haven't tried cocoa butter in years, I didn't see much of a difference as a young teen but I guess I could try again! I've tried bio oil as well but that does bugger all. I'll probably reassess the situation when all the weights gone.

Anyway, enough with the negatives.......i'm down another pound today YAYYYYYY! :hurray:
