Just keeping working....

So I've been back on it the last week or so.

I joined Fat Fighters (aka Weight Watchers) with my mate on Monday. A bit of a revised weight, I'm 18st 8lbs but that's ok. I've restarted my jars of pebbles so I can see the weight loss. I've also been back to the gym. Yesterday, I actually managed to run on the treadmill. It was unexpected and almost like an out of body experience. I was aware that someone was running and then I realised it was me :-) 

I was so chuffed with myself lol and started to look around for someone to tell. Today I did a Zumba class and then an hour in the gym. It's still a struggle to go but I'm going and I'm hoping that by going so much it will start to become a habit. 

I've decided to book myself in for some tough classes to really test where my fitness is. I'm going to give Yoga and Pilates a go and see how I feel about them. I'm not a relaxed person but my sister raves about yoga. I tried Tai Chi but was bored out of my mind and wasn't very good at clearing my mind. I spent the hour thinking about all the stuff I had to do that day lol. Hopefully this time will be different. On Monday morning, I'll be doing abs blast and then Body Pump. I watched the warm up for it today. No idea what I was thinking but we'll give it a go. Then on Wednesday I tackle my biggest fear, Spin. It's only Beginners Spin but there is no way I could do a normal spin class. 

I feel like I've got a bit of energy back. However I don't feel any lighter. My aim is to lose 2lbs a week. Anymore is a bonus and anything less is still a loss. I was going through my photos the other day as well. I've posted a wee collage below. Top left is from a holiday in August 2009, top right is October 2011. The bottom left is February 2013 and the bottom right is December 2014. I didn't realise I want ever as big as the top 2 photos. I also didn't realise I had lost so much weight in my face when I went to Manchester. The aim is to get to Manchester weight and then lose more.

If I can do it once, I can do it again. My aim is to run the Race for Life this year. No time limit, just to run it, all of it.

I just need to keep it up!!!!

I'll post a blog entry again on Monday after my first weigh in :-)

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...
