It's all over......

Well all my birthday celebrations are over and everything is back to normal. I have had a brilliant 30th!! Tuesday I got to spend the day relaxing, shopping and then CPT. On Saturday, I had a wee night out in Dunfermline. It was a brilliant night, lots of laughs, dancing and podium dancers lol. 

 I know my initial motivation for the weight loss was my 30th and I wasn't at my target weight as I has wanted to be but I felt great on Saturday night and the pictures have at last showed me how far I've come. I've lost 5 stone and yeah I've got a long way to go but I've already achieved a huge weight loss. I changed my Facebook profile picture on Saturday afternoon. I was mucking about with my camera and trying to get a picture of my hair to let my granny see it. I couldn't believe the picture. It was like I was seeing myself for the first time since all this started. It was the first picture in years that I've actually thought 'I like that photo'.

 So back to normal it is. I'll was at Commando training 3 times last week but I'll manage everyday except Tuesday this week. With the booze on Saturday, I'll have gained weight at Fat Fighters on Friday but that's ok. One of the girls from Commando has been helping me with my nutrition and I'm going to try and cut carbs and increase the protein. I didn't realise I ate so many carbs!!! I'm following a diet that is specific to your blood group. I read the initial bit of the book last night and all the things it was saying about my blood group is true. Unfortunately there are a few foods in the diet that I've never even heard off lol. It's basically a gluten free diet. I'm not expecting to see the results of this new diet this week but next week I'd hope to see an improvement in my weight loss.

 There's also a 10k that the Commando instructors have passed onto us. I've never done anything close to 10k before but before I did my 5k, it was the same story. I'm seriously thinking about giving it a go. The only bad thing is that Matt has plans and wouldn't be able to give me a lift home when I can't walk afterwards. But I've been looking at the buses and could just bus it home. I think I'm using the lack of car as an excuse. I saw another 10k advertised in a magazine yesterday as well. It's called Survival and you have to work as a team for the 10k to overcome various obstacles. Looks fun but it's way out of my fitness just now. I think I'll do the straight forward 10k in Fife and leave Survival until next year lol

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...
