On a Roll

  

In the words of Adele, Hello it's me.

It appears that I'm on a roll again with the old diet. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty pleased with myself. I finally reached my half a stone, target weight at fat club, Yippee!

If there's one good thing about me, is I'm not a quitter. Some of you maybe thinking, hmm.. "Half a stone not much to brag about." Let me pleasure in telling you, your wrong. It is. It's taken me loads of hard work, ups & downs, to loose those bloody 7lbs. So I'm gonna sing about it.

Over this time, all I can say that I've truly learned is, bread hates me, no matter how much I love it.  And I've finally relented, to letting "speed food" become my new BFF, instead of lovely tasty crisps.  (Well most of the time, anyways..)

Till next time ✌️

Good vibes

I recently went away for the weekend, and it was the best.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't often go away from home much. It's not because I don't want too, but for loads of boring reasons like; I don't like packing, (inserts a what I packed in my carry on here. Jokes!✌️) And I hate flying, and I can't afford it, and because I like my own bed a lot and I really miss my cats. And other stuff along those lines.

But I finally bit the bullet and agreed to a little trip away. Nothing fancy, just a lot of Rosè, a lot of sunshine, a substantial amount of food, along with a little bit of nature and some great friends. 

Can really work wonders. I realised how getting away is so good for me. It makes you appreciate your home comforts so much more. And to be honest it's nice to have a break from daily life. All the sunshine really helped too. 🌞

Life update

I haven't blogged in ages, because I'm rubbish, when I have changes in my life. At keeping on top of the other things, that I like doing. Apart from sleeping really. 😴

I just seem to be able to focus better, on one thing at a time. (I know I'm a women but I swear I can't multi-task)

What are these changes you ask? 

Well I guess I should tell you, the two main ones are; 

I stated a new job, and joined  slimming world, but I wanted to focus on the latter. 

Firstly, why I joined slimming world:

 I guess like many people out there, I can hardly remember a time I was happy with my size. The last time, was probably, in my late teens and that's ages ago now!

And even though, I don't think I have the most unhealthiest of life styles, I just wanted to make better choices. Without having to go to the gym, like, everyday.

But, I have been at slimming world a while now, and have finally started to make some head way.

I'm not gonna lie, it's been hard AF, to shift some of these pounds. We're taking sweat & tears hard.

I am defiantly not on of these lucky, idiots that join and within a week they've got there first half a stone. ( I wish I was one of those.)

Admittedly my weight has always fluctuated and I have always found it easier to put on weight than to loose it. But before I joined, my sister was already a member, and for the most part I just joined in with her. 

So I already felt like I had made some changes to my diet, trying to cut out all the naughty stuff. 

But the hardest thing, has been cutting out my 2 cardinal Syns, (no pun intended) crisps & chocolate. We all know how nice these things are, so I won't explain. 

But before I joined slimming world, I probably had about 3 packets of crisps, a week, now it's like one. 

And for a while I really resented it. 

Giving up what I saw, as one of my little luxuries. When your in group and someone pipes up, they've lost 3lbs and still had fish and chips this week! It's really hard not to punch them! 👊

Anyway, I'm making some progress & I'm proud of it. 🙃
