I can't pretend that I'm not gutted 'cause I really am. I've done more than half a pound this week. This week I won't get to Commando training as much as would like because I have a lot of late shift this week and I'm working on Saturday. So this week will be about diet, I'm going to try every trick in the book to speed up my metabolism. The first actions will be:


1. Drink one litre of ice cold water a day (you have to use energy to heat up the water therefore burning more calories)
2. Drink green tea (I remember reading it somewhere, I have no idea why it does it)
3. Eat breakfast!! (I read that it helps your metabolism to get going if you eat breakfast)


None of the 3 things above are difficult, I just need to be organised to make sure that I do them all. The plan, exercise wise is as follows:


Monday - Working a late
Tuesday - Commando Training
Wednesday - Working a late
Thursday - Working a late
Friday - Weight Watchers Weigh in
Saturday - Working all day
Sunday - Family stuff


On my lates, I might try and get out for a walk in the am. It's just a shame that I can't safely walk to work, there aren't any pavements so no can do.


This is also my 100th post! Thanks to everyone who's been reading my blog. It really helps to keep me motivated when I speak to people who read it. This is the longest that I've stuck at dieting/getting fit and I really do believe that it's because of the fact that I've shared a huge part of myself (something that I don't normally do, I don't trust easily) and you guys keep reading it. Thanks very much and hopefully I'll keep this going until I can get down to my goal weight!! :-)

Good news!!!!

I'm not sure how to start this post.  It's been so full on with placement at the moment and I've got one more essay due for Uni. I only have 9 weeks left until I'm fully qualified. I starte d to apply for jobs a few weeks ago and got called for an interview in the hospital that I currently work in but unfortunately I didn't get it. On Saturday just passed, I went down to Manchester for an interview. I wasn't sure how the interview had gone, it was so intense. I became really aware during the interview that I was speaking very quickly in my Scottish accent and I started to concentrate on slowing down my speech. I came out of it convinced that I had done ok but not well enough to actually get the job. But all the interviews are good practice. They said they would let me know by Friday so I just put it out of my mind. However, I got a call yesterday from them......................and I GOT THE JOB!!!!! It's full time and permanent. I can't believe it,...

Devastated!!

When I wrote my last blog, I knew that I had some huge news although I didn't think I would be telling our news this early or that this is how it would end. I'm writing about this because I promised this blog would be honest and the last few weeks have had a huge impact on me as an individual and Matt & I as a couple. I discovered at the end of June that I was pregnant. I was so excited and could not believe it. With my PCOS I had given up any hope of falling pregnant naturally. I was over the moon. Unfortunately at 5 weeks I started to bleed. A week later, I had a scan but they couldn't tell me whether the pregnancy was viable anymore so I've had to wait another week. Today it was confirmed that I have lost the baby. The last 2 weeks have been some of the worst I've ever had. I've only been able to fall asleep by imagining that we were told the baby was still growing. But when I wake up it's like a jolt back to reality when I realise that that's...

Willpower

I've never considered myself one of these lucky people who have a load of willpower. In fact I would say I'm exactly the opposite but I've set myself a wee challenge to test what little willpower I have. In my handbag are 3 chocolate sweets that I got off my granny ages ago. They've just sat in the bottom of my bag and I had totally forgotten about them. During a wee craving for sugar this week, I found them and really felt like I needed them. BUT I didn't have them. So they've become sort of like a reminder that I don't need any crappy food. I watched One Born Every Minute this week and there was a woman on it who suffered from the same thing I do, PCOS. She made a good point as well. PCOS is affected by weight and to have a baby she was told that she had to lose it. She would starting weighing up junk food with a baby. Now I know that Matt and I aren't at the baby making phase yet but ultimately if I want to have a family I need to get rid of my ex...
