I promise.......

I haven't posted lately, I've just had a lot going on. Last Friday I went to Benidorm for my friend's hen weekend. The weather was glorious! Being a red head, I can't really sit out in the sun, I tend to burn to a crisp but the other girls all ended up with a lovely colour. It was an all inclusive break so we ate LOADS!!! And I know I piled on the weight. I've been feeling great since I came back from Benidorm. I've been complaining to Matt that my asthma has been bothering me. I've just been feeling short of breath but I put it down to not being very active lately.


So yesterday I rejoined the gym and today was my health check to make sure that they are happy to give me a programme etc. It's a different gym that I've joined because I was looking for more support in the gym and bit more motivation. Anyway, today I rocked up for my medical with the intention of having a workout afterwards. Things didn't exactly go to plan.......like I said before, my asthma has been bothering me for about a week now. This morning it was worse than before. So during my medical it got worse and my blood pressure recorded sky high. I've never had any bother with my BP before so I just assumed it was because the guy was talking to me and making me laugh. Anyway I signed his disclaimer and start a gentle workout. Only I had to stop because my chest felt like it was on fire and about to explode. As soon as I stopped exercising it got better. I called the doctor and got my inhalers and am feeling a lot better now. I'm just going to have to take it easy until I can get an appointment with my doctor on Monday. 

Anyway before I almost passed out and couldn't breath, I did manage to get a new weight. I didn't look back at what my previous weight was because I'm starting afresh from now on (although in the back of my head I do know what it is). I'm making a promise here and now that this is the last time I'm going to say that on here. I'm sick of this damn cycle that I seem to be stuck in. So this is it, last time. Beside my weight I've put an object that weighs about the same. See the picture that I've attached and it'll make sense.

Starting weight: 23st (322lbs)
Weight as off today: 17st 9lbs (247lbs)
Total weight Loss to date: 5st 5lbs (75lbs) (an Irish setter + 5lbs)

Target weight: 10st (140lbs)
Weight still to go: 7st 9lbs(107lbs) (A 2 month old horse + 7lbs)
Total that I will lose overall: 182lbs (an average human)

My weight in day is going to be a Friday because the gym has a dancercise class that runs on a Friday morning. I did have a class booked for tomorrow but I'm going to wait and see how I feel. Providing I'm feeling up to it, the activity plan for the next week is below:

Saturday - Zumba
Sunday - Day Off
Monday - Pilates & Gym
Tuesday - Gym
Wednesday - Megafit & Gym
Thursday - Programme appointment (would normally be my other day off)
Friday - Dancercise

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...
