Tink's latest and final attempt at skinny!!!

I've just read your diary and it's so inspiring :) Congratulations on all your weight loss and being able to fit into your old clothes :hurray: I hope you have a really nice time on your holiday, and good luck with the toning :)
 
Thanx Pheobe! I was pretty delighted abt the clothes!

Well today has been pretty good - I actually got up an hour early to fit in my WII workouts before work :smilielol5: cant quite believe it....i must be pretty serious abt this now!!

Gonna go to a combat class in an hour so i can relax for a bit before then. i really need to cos work was horrendous today...had to put up with parents calling up to complain, kids being all hyper and general end of term chaos! Def had better days! Cant wait to get home from combat and have a lovely long shower - always destresses me :D

Food for today

Lunch - Chicken wrap with wedges 600 cals

Dinner - 3 small rolls with mayo and low fat crisps 650 cals (a god awful choice i know but i really wnated them!

Snacks - 1 pkt wotsits 95 cals, coffee 30 cals, 2 slices pineapple 160g 66 cals

Total cals - Well under 1500 cals today

Exercise

20 mins WII aerobics
10 mins WII yoga
45 mins body combat
20 mins walking dog (abt 1.5 miles)


So far so good today :) Still got the dog walk and the class to go so hopefully i will sleep tonight!
 
That is terrific to hear about the clothes. I love being able to fit into things I once couldn't... Its a great feeling.

Good job on the workout too. When I get home after I get off work tonite, I'm going on a 3 mile run. Hopefully the allergies stay at bay tonite, I'm going to take a pill first, and wear some sunglasses this time to see if it helps out. Hope it does :)

Have a great night,
Sam
 
Thanx Sam! Hope ur allergies are under control...nothing worse when u want to go for a run and u cant stop ur eyes watering! 3 miles is a great distance - dont think i could even run a mile!

I feel relly good after all the exercise today and the weird thing is i dont fell hungry at all :hurray:

The combat class was amazing and the best thing was (and yes i know that i am incredibly shallow and vain for caring!) that i wasnt the biggest person in the class!!!!!! One woman was actually very bitchy and demanded to know how i got so thin, so quickly (btw i am absolutely nowhere close to thin but she is pretty big and i used to be abt the same size if not bigger). I suggested she try the chest infection diet :p def works!

Im gonna book another class for thursday night and hopefully it will all pay off come friday! COME ON 223LBS!!!

Just had a massive wardrobe clearout and i found stuff that i boxed up ages ago because it didnt fit anymore....and now some of it does! Tried on pretty much everything and the sizes ranged from a uk 12 to a 16. Fitted into all the 16 stuff :hurray::hurray: so now im moving onto being able to fit into the 14...and there is some really cute stuff there! I cant wait until i can actually wear the skirts and tops that are there...and buy some new ones!

:hurray:
Woohoo! It's like Christmas when you can pull out of box of clothes and discover that they fit!:hurray:
 
Today was a lovely day and i feel pretty damned happy!:sifone:

One of my pupils mum brought me a huge bouquet of flowers to thank me for the extra work that i put in with him this year...I was so touched i nearly cried! They are beautiful and now have pride of place on my dining room table. It is the nicest thing that has happened to me in my teaching career!

Also got compliments from some of people in work abt how slim im looking! Now the scales dont seem to be changing but every week i am getting comments abt my decreasing bulk and my measurements are going down steadily so obv something is working!

Here are the stats for today then!

Mid Morning - Low fat yoghurt 100 cals, pkt wotsits 95 cals

Lunch - Banana 100 cals, pkt lite crisps 95 cals

Afternoon - 2 rolls 300 cals, i pkt lite crisps, 4 slices turkey ham 35 cals, mayo and mustard 50 cals

Dinner - chicken grill x 290 cals, chips 300 cals, broccoli and cauliflower 30 cals

Total cals - About 1500 even tho i feel like i ahve been eating all day!

When i woke up this morning i knew it would be a nibbly day! So i made sure that i took lots of low cal snacks and basically have munched my way thru them all day! Usually if im in this mood il have biscuits and sandwiches so thankfully i have kept the cals low!

Exercise

30 min walk with dog
20 mins WII aerobics
10 mins WII yoga


Taking it a little easier today as my muscles are killing me after that class last night!
 
That is so sweet of her to bring you flowers. I bet your an excellent teacher. You must have done an excellent job giving him the extra help he needed. It seems your doing pretty good with your foods and cals. I'm working on mine for sure. Your exercise with that Wii Fit seems to be a nearly everyday thing for you, you must like it a lot :)

-Sam
 
Thanx Sam :) It was a lovely thing to happen today! I didnt think that i had made a whole lot of difference to him but it is nice to be appreciated! I do love the WII fit, it's just so easy to fit into my day and its great fun! The yoga is especially good as it really is toning up my arms.

Thanx Radiant! I do love when the tape goes down a bit, just wish that the scales will follow suit! The ever elusive 220 is still a longggg way off at the mo and i really want to get there!

Decided that if i hit 223 this week then im going to get my hair restyled and coloured on Saturday. My parents are taking me for a really nice birthday lunch so i might treat myself before it! It's kinda wierd this year as i usually get jewellery or shoes as birthday gifts but this year i have been really cheeky and asked people to give me gift certificates to buy clothes....it is costing me a fortune as every time i go down a size i need to buy basics like trousers and underwear, the last lot was only 2 weeks ago and they are already feeling loose...not that im complaining!! dont think anyone minded me asking for those as they know that i am trying hard to lose the weight and they are all really supportive....anyway off to do more yoga before bed - my muscles are still really tense so i want to stretch them out a bit.
 
Have been really good today foodwise, but my exercise plan had gone all to hell! Slept in this morning so didnt get the mile walk with my dog in before work, worked late so i didnt get my dvd workout after school, and now it is POURING and i still have 2 miles to go with the dog! I also need to go and buy some food (and make dinner!) as there is nothing in this damned house. And instead of getting on with all this i am typing it up!!!!:banghead: lolll

Food for today

Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich 450 cals, pineapple 30 cals

Dinner - 6 fish fingers 330 cals, 3 slices bread 300 cals cals, mayo and ketchup 50 cals

Snack - 2 slices toast and jam 250 cals, coffee 30 cals, small shortbread 100 cals.

Total cals today Around 1650

I think i may be cracking up....it's 12.30am and i have just finished my WII workouts. I literally could not go to bed without doing them! I tried to sleep but i kept thinking abt how i hadnt done my aerobics or yoga and I GOT UP and bloody did it! I cannot believe that i am capable of such a thing....loll how much can a person change in a few months!!

So now im kinda awake but I'll go to bed soon and hopefully wont have to get up out of guilt again!

Oh well, it all adds up i suppose!
 
Been a bit naughty today....had a bit of gingerbread after school but it was lovely!! The parents keep handing in cakes and chocolates for the staffroom and it s soooo hard to resist them all...but gingerbread is my favourite! I'll count it in my cals for today and try to make up for it by doing more exercise!

Food for today

Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich 450 cals, pineapple 44 cals

Dinner - Quorn chilli with rice and yoghurt 700 cals

Wish i could do some more but ever since my fall on the ice the muscles in my butt cheeks are KILLING me! As soon as i do any exercise they are really sore but apparently all i can do is wait for them to heal..ho hum!
 
Last day of term tomorrow...thank god! It has been a longggggg time coming! Will have to watch myself this weekend - celebrations tomorrow night, birthday lunch on sat and massive birthday night out on monday...i will be good tho! My holiday is only 9 days away now and i am not messing it up before then!

I plan on exercising A LOT next week as i wont be at work. If i dont keep active during the day then i will be tempted to go out for lunch, drinks, etc! So the gym it will be for me! And the poor puglet will be walked to death!

Best get some sleep now i suppose...be a bit sad tomorrow when my class leave :( but i will be next door to them next year so I'll see them all the time - but i bet there will be a few tears *sniff*
 
dear god the band wagon was fallen off big style! Wasnt planning on it but decided what the hell so i had all manner of naughty things and lots of wine after work :svengo: was pretty good fun so im not regretting it!:party:


food for today

lunch - chicken sandwich with chips

dinner - 3 chicken fajitas (very big ones)

Snacks - disgusting amounts of chocolate, cream cake and wine....last day of term with temptation EVERYWHERE and i decided to just have what i wanted and make up for it thru the week. Ended up a little drunk by 5pm and in bed by 10pm! Woke up now (4am) with a slight hangover and the worst stomach ache ever so obv my body doesnt approve! Must have had at least 2 bottles of wine and i cant even think abt the cals....just hope the damage isnt too bad!
 
Oh dear....didnt lose an ounce this week...still 225lbs :( Cant understand it as i exercised every day and kept an eye on my cals...so i went right off the rails in a frenzy of self pity and 'i cant be arsed' attitude and ate what the hell i liked yesterday. Not good, not proud but life goes on and tonight i have decided that i actually do care and i have worked too hard to give up now. I havnt been particularly angelic today but im npt gonna cry abt it! So back on track and will hopefully see some results soon.

Food today

Lunch -Chicken mayo and salad sandwich 550 cals

Dinner - Chicken breast and tomato sandwich 600 cals

Snacks - 2 slices toast with rhubarb jam 300 cals, 3 choc mini rolls 360 cals, lucozade sport 100 cals

Total cals - Around 1900...oh dear wayyyyy to high today

My god my bread consumption today has been awful!!!! If there was ever a no bread challenge i would fail miserably!

Exercise

2 hrs walking (around glasgow shopping! it counts i was shattered afterwards!)
30 mins WII aerobics
20 mins WII yoga
15 mins stomach toning exercises
1 mile walk with the dog

It is close to my TOM so hopefully once that has been and gone i will see a shift on those damned scales! Just finding it hard to stay motivated and i have my birthday to get thru this week without falling (in spectacular fashion) off track again...I WILL BLOODY WELL DO IT THOUGH!!!

Lol pep talk to self over! Gonna move my fat ass and walk the dog now!

:seeya:
 
Serious self pity - dont read if ur happy!

Deary me here i sit with 46 mins to go until i turn 26 and i am totally alone, with nothing planned for tomorrow and a feeling of complete isolation. How can someone with a great husband and lots of friends feel lonely???! |\Feeling really sorry for myself and i think i have had too much wine...

My hubby has just gone to bed (completely understandable as he works vvv long hours) and i am sitting alone thinking that the last year of my life has been completely useless. If i had fallen asleep at 24 and woken up at 26 everything would be exactly the same. I have achieved nothing and have zero to show for this year. Is this how the rest of my life will look? Every year the same? My god i am too young for this :leaving:

Everything i ever wanted i got early on in life - married, house perfect little dog, great friends, job i wanted. Why the hell do i feel so low?? Usually my birthdays come and go in a flurry of stuff that i organise, with loads of people and parties. This year i decided to see what my friends would org for me (bearing in mind that each of my 5 close friends have had AMAZING birthday nights out planned by moi!) and nothing....even my hubby hadnt planned a dinner out or anything. Obviously im not important enough to them to bother. What a depressing thought.

So my day tomorrow will involve grocery shopping, cleaning the house and exercising. No fancy dinner, no night out and no presents ( my fault as i asked for gift vouchers and my hub got me a ring that i chose myself). Dunno why i feel so low...i never usually do. Just seems as if im the one who makes all the effort and no one wants to do that for me. Maybe i should take the hint from my 25th year and make damned sure that my 26th is memorable for something! Thinking cap on......
 
Tink, I'm so sorry you're having a crappy day. It's really normal to feel like you haven't accomplished what you wanted to...I've felt that way many times. But that really sucks that you always thought of your friends but they didn't bother when it was your turn....I've been there on that one too :(.

Well unless I misunderstood your birthday starts in half an hour right? So there's still time ....you could call them up and tell them straight up you'd like to go out and celebrate. I had to do that when I turned 25...I remember moping around and finally getting flat pissed and calling my friends up and telling them how I felt. They were clueless of course but nobody had plans and we all went out for dinner and drinks at a comedy club and I had a blast. And I'm glad I did cuz honestly I haven't had a decent birthday since, lol.
 
Thanx lisa :) Feeling better today but im too proud to call them up and tell them how i feel...maybe they are clueless or maybe they actually dont care. Either way i would rather spend today with my hubby :) I told him this morning that i felt crap abt it all and he booked a table at a nice restaurant and we're gonna catch a movie i have been wanting to see for a while so at least im doing something! He felt bad abt it but had assumed that my girlfriends would be organising something...ha!

Decided that it doesnt really matter - my parents have called from their holiday in Spain, lots of friends have sent cards and i recieved some lovely gifts this year so i really have nothing to complain about! I am reolved now that 26 will be an amazing year for me...so i have set out some goals!

1) Lose all the weight i need to (off to a fairly good start so yay!:hurray:)

2) Become a Befriender (always meant to but never got around to it)

3) Clear my debts - even i it means no holidays or new shoes :(

There we go 3 things that i will be able to look at this time next year and be proud that i have achieved! I am quite ambitious and the thought that i have coasted along for a year horrifies me! What have i actually done this year? I lost 20lbs in the last few months, i started a book club and that's abt it! Oh well roll on 26!

Soooo yesterday was a crappy day in terms of food. Today has the potential to be so i wont let it!

Weight - 228lbs...dear god the damage i have done this weekend! GET IT BACK OFF!!!!!!

Mood - Resolved to fixing things

Food for today

Lunch - Some strawberries and an apple 100 cals (not very hungry at all)

Dinner - Eating out so will prob have pasta arrabiata and salad

Not sure of total cals but will def be under 1700 :)

Exercise

2 mile walk with dog
Tidying the house!

Will def do more exercise tomorrow!
 
Thanx Radiant :) I know ur right abt the downward trend but at the mo it seems to be an upward trend and i have used the excuse of being on hols from work and my birthday...to some degree i think its justified as i have completely let my hair down and had some fun!

But now it is time to get back on track!!!!

Plan for tomorrow

NO BLOODY WINE AT ALL....cos im off work i keep having 'just a few' glasses every night - bad allie!!:angelsad2::angelsad2:

Up by 11am and walk dog 2 miles

Gym
CARDIO - 20 mins ski machine, 15 mins treadmill, 15 mins bike, 10 mins rower
STRENGTH - 30 mins
+ tummy exercises

Hopefully i will keep this up on thur, fri and sat - hopefully help to negate the damage that has been caused by my litle healthy eating holiday!

Then on sat im off to Africa :coolgleamA: and i doubt i will over eat cos im terrified of foreign food! I never eat meat or drink alcohol on holiday (im truly a paranoid freak!)

And then the bikini terror begins...arrgghh!!! LOL
