Well, this week has been busy, what with appointments and Megan is at her summer stage school every morning. We never seem to have stopped. I have been excercising this week again, trying out a new dvd work out and it seems to be working. My knees and shoulder seem to be doing fine with it even after doing it 5 times. My eating has been good this week, but I am still fighting my ever present demon of picking Daniel's dinners.
On a downside this week, I have been really badly constipated (too much information I know) lol. I was sure this would affect my weightloss and a sneak peek showed a gain. Needless to say that didn't help to make me feel any better. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for it as I eat plenty of fruits and veg etc.
Anyway at class, the old rule of no sneak peeks was proven. All that stressing over the scales and I had actually lost 2lb. I am now 17st exactly. Unfortunately, Irene did not have my 50lb certificate but has promised that she will have it next week.
So onward and downward as they say.
Have a good week everyone.

I did it!!!!!!
Thats right, I managed a 1.5lb loss this week, despite all the food at the renewal. We all had a fantastic day on Monday and I am so glad we have made a new day to remember.
As far as food went, I had followed fast start for the week and after breakfast I had over 40 points available for the buffet. I tried to be really good but not deny myself anything. The cakes looked amazing but really big slices. So, I cut a piece in half (was really proud of myself) and it was just as nice. I have to be honest though, the last couple of days the fast start was getting difficult. I also did not like not pointing even for one day. I didn't feel in control of my eating, and if nothing else it has confirmed to me that I could never go back to eating the way I used to. Definately a positive.
I hoped I had done enough to get the half pound of for my 50lb certificate and I surpassed it. I was so pleased this morning and I know Irene will be so proud when she gets back next week. I couldn't get my certificate until she returns, but I didn't mind. I have lost 7.5lb in the 3 weeks she has been away, I am really pleased with that. My husband is very proud of me and incredibly supportive. I could not have done this without him.
So on to a quiet week.
Good luck at weigh in everyone.

So close...
Sorry for another short blog. There is so much still to do before the Renewal on Monday and Daniel is having even more trouble than usual with his sleeping. I lost another 1.5lb this week taking me to 49.5lb at Weightwatchers. Keep everything crossed that I manage that half lb next week after the Renewal, then I will get my 50lb certificate!
Have a good week everyone.

Busy, busy, busy.....
Short and sweet guys. This week has been soo busy with the children both at home for the holidays and preparing for the renewal. I am only just managing to cling on to my new found efficiency at home. Delayed but still being done - just. I am busy sewing teddy bears, I have gifts/favours to wrap, place cards to print, flowers and ballons to sort and we have a meeting at the hotel tomorrow to go through final arrangements.
This last week or so, though we haven't been out walking as much, I have been much more active and it has paid off ;). Irene (my leader) is on holiday at the moment and she will be really proud to hear I lost 4.5lb this week!!!! Yippee!!! So that takes me to 17st 5lb. My 2lb per week average predicted I would be 17st 2lb on my last weigh in before the renewal. That is next week!! I didn't think it was possible but I am really close now. I don't mind if I don't reach it, even half a pound each week is enough. I will get to goal however long it takes.
Got to go discuss plans with Simon.
Have a good week everyone.

School's out for summer (Alice Cooper stylee).... well almost!
Megan and Daniel both finish school tomorrow. Although Daniel does not normally attend nursery on a Thursday, they are having their end of term party at the local play centre and we are going to take him and see how he goes.
This past week seems to have gone soo quickly, but all the paperwork is now complete. Daniel will officially be staying at his current nursery after the summer, which is such a relief.
Well, my outfit has arrived for the Renewal and it is lovely. My mum-in-law is going to take my skirt in a little though so that was a nice feeling. She is also doing my hair on the day and we had a lovely evening on Monday trying it out. Also on the subject of NSV's, I managed to wrap a normal bath towel right around me after a shower the other night with NO GAPS!!!! That is the first time ever in my adult life I have managed it!!!
Food wise this week my picking has been alot better and I have promised myself that I will be strict and aim to look at each day individually and really try hard not to pick at all on each of those days. So watch this space on that one. Walking has been good this week, I seem to be averaging about 30 miles in a week and alot of that is being busy in doors. So it just shows how much we all do without realising. The scales showed another 1.5 loss at WI this week, which I was really happy about.
I want to appologise in advance if my posts are short over the next few weeks. There is alot to do for the renewal, the most important thing being sewing two teddy bears for Megan and Daniel. I will have 2 more weigh ins before the day itself and I will make sure I blog, but they may well be short and sweet.
Good luck with weigh in this week everyone.
