Lost my First Stone

Today i lost my first stone in weight. I am really pleased because i wanted to lose it before my birthday and my birthday is this sunday.

I have finished all my studying now and have sorted out all my marketing bits and bobs. Just need to get the business started and off the ground.

I lost 4lb

Last Thursday at weigh in i thought i was going to put on but i didn't i lost 4lb! I am so pleased with myself.

I have been very good this weekend, just cooking a chicken in the oven for dinner, i will pick all the meat off, weigh out what i want, then let Jamie & Rose have the rest. I am going to have vegetable gravy with it too. Had Pizza last night it was 20pts for 4 slices of Papa John's 14inch cheese & tomato Pizza, we added mushrooms onions and green peppers. I had 4 bits of the garlic pizza too, so added 4 points for that. I went 3.5 points over. I could of not had the garlic bread, had only 2 pieces of pizza and a big bowl of salad - but where's the fun?? Jamie won a years supply of Pizza, one a month, so have to work around it!!

Bought ingrediants for zero point soup. Going to make it up tonight! So i have something to eat if i am starving!

So far.....

Well today is the 12th May. Yesterday i did the Race for Life, i did it in a hour, which meant i beat last years time by 5 minutes, i hope that i can beat it next year by another 5.

My spuds up the allotment are doing really well and i have tried to cover all areas that i am not using with either weed control sheeting or carpet. I'm going to plant some more seeds tonight so i have got more veg growing. Its all looking really good i am so pleased.

I joined weight watchers on the 1st May i weighed in at 14st 1lb, lost 2lb in my first week. Yesterday though i had a bad day, after the race i just stufed my face, was really greedy actually.

We have a plan now in place for another baby. I want to get my birthday out of the way in July and I want us to start trying then. So I need to lose weight by my birthday to have a healthy pregnancy.

Only time will tell.

DIY is not happening at the moment which is a shame because the longer it goes on the less time we will have to enjoy it before we move.

Beginning...about me

Today I begin my first post. Today's date is the 6th April 2008. I am married to Jamie nearly 5 years now, we have a beautiful little girl Rose, who will be 3 in July. We have 2 dogs, Missy & Gizmo, & now some fish!

I am now a Reiki Practitioner (level 2), a Reflexologist (VTCT), I am studying Indian Head Massage (ITEC) too. I am also studying Anatomy & Physiology at College. Life is pretty hectic but I am enjoying it.

Last June I went back to work and my friend looked after Rose whilst i was there. With studying, working, being a mum and trying to work on a allotment i was beginning to lose the plot so i have given up work. My last day will be 24th April. I got my allotment last October and tried to dig it as much as possible before christmas. Since then i havent done much with it. This weekend i wanted to plant my early spuds but it blooming snowed!

Long Grass on plot

Jamie digging a bit

I start my IHM course tomorrow so i am trying to read ahead so i know what they are talking about.

Jamie wants us to start trying for another baby but i want to wait til July. Then most of my veg will be planted and there shouldnt be that much to do with it really, plus i get to enjoy my birthday. I want an eighties themed party!

We bought our house in April 2006, its a 3 bed terrace. I live right on the main road, we have a drive way, but buses stop outside my house! My neighbours are a lady in her 90's and a my other neighbour is a single mum of 3, her partner died a year ago from a brain aneurysm, it was very sad. We are trying to do the house up at the moment. I will take pictures of now before we do anything to it. The garden has been my main focus as it was really split in two so we have worked hard to create a flower border and now are trying to grass the bare patch.

There is so much going on in my life right now that i am really stressed out. I also trying to do the DIY in the house but thats not getting me anywhere fast! Ho hum.

I'll let you know more in my next post
