Been a couple of days.....

Well the weekend has come and gone, and another evening of CSI!

It started off well, I was eating and drinking well within points. But then my willpower vanished into fat air and I ate Pizza, and drank alcohol. I pointed it all, waaaay over points. Then Saturday came round, I worked 10-3. and as i wasn't really hungry i had a yogurt all day.
Then i had a few drinks, all pointed. went for dinner with my husband, again all pointed. Then we went out later in the night to a club, and it all went wrong. I gave into the cheap drinks. However, I didn't eat anything on the way home, which is a big step!

So, along comes Sunday. Waking up feeling guilty about the weekend. But then something changed in my head. I don't like feeling guilty. So why should I?
I said something to my friend the other day with regards to a relationship, I said that we all make stupid mistakes and its how we deal with them and move on from them.
I woke up and thought that sounds like what has happened this weekend with me. I did something stupid, eating and drinking huge calories. But now for me to be able to feel good about myself, I need to change the way I deal with things and move on from it.

I put on my weight watchers pedometer and headed out to lunch. Looked at a menu before we got there, and planned what I wanted. I decided to have scampi, but i requested rice instead of chips. All washed down with a pint of iced top water.

Then I blitzed my flat, cleaned everything. Washed all the clothes that needed doing. And actually managed to earn 4.5pts over the whole day!
Had a small pasta dish with loads of lettuce for tea.

And here I am, getting comfy on my sofa watching CSI. Drinking a glass of water. With a fresh outlook on things, and a feeling of positivity for what tomorrow might bring....

First Meeting...DONE

So I went back to Weight Watchers.

The lovely Lorraine took me back with open arms. It was so nice going back.
Official starting weight 13 stone. That is going to be the last time I will be that weight. I am determined that next week there will be a 12 at the start of my weight!

First post from mobile

Hey everyone. Just testing sending posts from my mobile!

Going back to meetings

I signed back up for my monthly pass, and today is the first meeting back. I am nervous, and am hoping that I havent put on too much since last time I was there.

legs have recovered from the half marathon, so its back to exercise and healthy living!

Feeling pretty good today, the sun is shining and I seem to be getting on well with work. Boss seems happy....c'mon pay rise!!

Right, meeting time. See you all this evening!

Subway...yum!

Well Ive pointed my food today, and it included some alcoholic drinks later this evening!

I even had a foot long subway sandwich all within points!
Also, have booked flights to go and see my friend in London later this year, so I'm really excited about that! I've also been to see the GP about the GP referral scheme that weight watchers has. She didn't know anything about it, so I've given her some information so maybe that well help me save some pennies!

Am feeling pretty good today, going to wear my beautiful Bettie Page dress tonight....its truly beautiful! I'll get some pictures taken and put on here as soon as I can.

Heading off to the start of the Great North Run 2010

As you can see I've got a picture from Sunday uploaded, I've got my Parkinson's UK vest on and my Moonwalk 2010 hat on (from when mum and i did the moonwalk marathon walk this year). Am hoping mum will do the GNR (walking) next year as well.
There is a picture of me from the finish on a camera somewhere, so I shall get that sorted and uploaded!

End of the day....kind of

Been having a very points wise, being generally quite good up until when I go to the meeting on thursday for the official first (this time) weigh in!

Just having a glass of wine at the moment before going to meet one of my friends. Just hoping my willpower appears soon. I really want to do it this time, so I need to get my head in gear.

anyone got any willpower bottled for me?

sorry its such another short entry, but im a busy lady!!!

Great North Run

Well I finished the full 13.1 miles.

Official time 2 hrs 44min 58sec

I AM SO HAPPY!

didnt think i'd be able to do it this quickly, so aiming to do it even quicker next year.
Im very achey today, but still feeling amazing. Already to sit down and plan my day of food to make sure im within points but not feeling hungry.
I had a few pints last night, but i felt i deserved it lol.
