Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat!

Thank god its the only one lol.

Well we got our new plan this week from weight watchers its called the discover plan and its all about eating foods that make you feel fuller for longer,so you are not tempted to snack in between meals which I think is great and so far today so good. Ive had breakfast and lunch and I dont feel like snacking.

But to be honest I dont snack much anyway sometimes not at all but if I do its on healthy snacks.

Well thats it from me today bye for now and stay good all lin.x

Long time no see

Well it certanly has been a long time since I posted anything on here. Thats because I went off my diet for a while. But thank god I didnt gain while I was off it.Well since I last posted I went on my fab holiday in wales, llangollen and I have to say it was the best holiday Ive ever had. Weather wasnt that good but it didnt spoil are fun.

The cottage we stayed in was fantastic, and we would love to stay there again sometime.After the holiday as I said I went off my diet, but like I said Im back on it now and so far so good. Im hoping that come christmas time I will be nearer my 3 stone mark, if not by crimbo then defo by jan 15th ,because that is when I started weight watchers.

I went to the weight watchers christmas party last friday and it was brill ,we had such a good laugh I cant wait till next yr for that one as Im hoping I will be another 3stone lighter than what I am now. Im really determind to get as much off as possible next yr, and Im hoping the nintendo wii will have something to do with it. Also weight watchers have just brought out a new plan, so hopefully that will give us all a new kick start that we could all do with especially right on top of christmas.

My worry over the festive season is chocolate and crisps as I have to have them in for the kids. And I just know I will give in to temptation, because I know I will say to myself oh go on it is christmas after all lol.

I just hope I dont eat to many, and that I get as much excersise as I can ie going for walks. And hopefully it might balance things out for me, I hope fingers crossed, toes too.
Well thats it for now I supose.
I wish everyone who reads this a magical christmas time and a wonderfull and happy new year 2009.
All my Love Linda.x

Well what a week, I decieded that last week I was going to get to my 10% goal and get my weight watchers keyring which I am happy to anounce, that I did WooHoo!!

I managed to loose not just one pound, but two I was so happy I couldn't believe it and now i'm in the 18s wow, hopefully I wont be in the 18s for long though lol.

I am hoping that by christmas I will be in my 16s, or if im really lucky my 15s but I think that might be wishfull thinking.

So it just goes to show, if you put your mind to anything then you can acheive it.

I am a little bit dissapointed in the weather though, at the moment as it has stopped me walking. I know, I know you can walk in the rain but I dont like to and I dont want to get ill do I,

and at the moment I havn't got a coat as my old one is way to big for me and I havnt been able to find another one boohoo.

I will have to keep my eyes peeled for one, as I wont be able to go walking in wales without one will I?

Disapointment and Action.

Well where do I begin?

I was hoping for a weight loss this week to take me to my 2 stone goal and get my 10% loss in class, but no I stayed the same I felt so miserable and felt like giving up. I thought why oh why is it taking me so long to lose weight, when there is lots of people out there on WW losing every week.

And losing good amounts of horrid fat, and I only get a little loss ahhhhhhhhhh it's not fair!

Then I put my sensible head on, and I thought well you know what, I put it there over the years so its probably going to take years to come off, and there is me and only me that can get rid of it.

So i've decieded this week i'm going to do quite alot of activity so I bought myself a WW pedometer and i'm off for a walk in a bit to our lovely cathedral, then tomorrow if weather is nice i'm going to go and walk in the park and do at least 4 miles, which i've never done before unless you count walking round the shops for hours lol.

Drinking more water

Well today I have been drinking plenty of water,and I worked out I need to drink 2000mls of water a day. As this is the same amount as two liters so ive been told.

I drank 8 cups of water yesterday,but I know that wasnt enough so ive swapped my cup for a very large glass. And so far I have drank 1780mls so ive got 220mls to go.

And I will be keeping it up, because it is really healthy for your body inside and out, and thats what being on Weight Watchers is all about isnt it.

Also I should lose weight,by running up and down the stairs to the loo all the time lol.
Bye for now Linda.x

10% goal here I come!

Good morning all, well yesterday was a very eventfull day for me! I made three new friends on WW online, and one asked did I have a blog? I said no, and she told me how to do it so here it is lol.

Well after spending most of the day puting stuff on it, it was then time to take my son to his nin jit su class where he's been going for three weeks and loves it so he's coming on really well i'm so proud of him and it's made me think about maybe joining an areobics class in my local gym
as I would like to do something like that and i think it will help me on my way to my 10% goal because I only have a few pound to lose to get there! I also think it will help me tone up my flab so I wont be left with anything horrid when i've lost all my weight, and I defo need to tone up my arms euch there horrible! I hate them but i'ts a workin progress isn't it girls?

I've also deceided that if I do the aerobics then after a month or so i'm going to try and go to aqua areobics with my friend Tracey from WW classes, and hopefully my other friend Paula will join us. I just hope there isn't a chippy next door to the baths when we go lol.

Also i found out why i'ts so important to drink water, It helps your metabolisim and puts moisture in to your skin which helps with your bowels and i'ts a natural appetite surpresent, I know i didnt beleve it either but i have to say after drinkin loads yesterday i woke up this morning and i wasnt hungry, so maybe there is some truth in it i'm on my second glass of the day so far and I managed to drink 7 cups of water yesterday along with a cup of tea and a glass of juice!

I dont think i've ever drank so much "he-he" bye for now Linda.x

Slow and steady?

Hi, well this morning I was feeling very down, as I thought I was losing weight too slow.
But my friends at ww online, soon told me I was one of many- which was comforting to know- I'm not the only one.

One person said Slow and Steady Wins the race!!
Remember the story of the Tortoise and the Hare? well think yourself as the tortoise. You will get there In the end. And you know what we will girls. As someone else said, it took you awhile to put the weight on, so it will take you a while to lose it. And they are right.
I just know I will get there this time, I know I will.

So I Have set myself two mini goals: To lose at least another 8 to 10 lbs in 8wks for my holiday. And then to lose 27lbs before Christmas. And I know it can be done because it's a slow and steady 1lb per week. If I can do it I am sure we all can .So good luck to us all on this long, but rewarding journey, to a healthier and happier life Linda.x
