party season

party season (read party food and beverages) is no good for the waistline, and yet it is optimum time for frock wearing! such an evil combination! haha

i am currently 10 stone despite not having been to a gym for over 6 weeks due to moving house/ being on holiday/ starting new job

i went to have a look at a few this last few days but none of them had a patch on my old gym in Brum :'( i miss my old gym! but i have a wardrobe full of cute size 10 frocks that i have no intention of getting too fat for so it's either new gym or running round the block and i just don't think the pavement is good for my knees darlings!

so there you have it... my inner skinny b*tch is trying to keep a grip on my sugar & booze intake but peer pressure is rife... i'll keep you up to date!

nine lives

Nine stone Nine pounds... that's the current weigh in...

never in my wildest thinnest dreams did i think i'd ever be in the nines again!!!

of course it's partly due to stress, not so great.. but a nine is a nine honey ;)

don't know what to make of it all really, i'm eating healthy and i'm going the gym regular.. do you suppose i'll keep losing weight even though i no longer need to? it's great fitting into dresses that i haven't worn in years cos the hips & bust were too tight..but i don't want to lose my shape entirely! yikes!

mother nature how you play with me!

things I've learned

stress is great for keeping the weight off.
not so great for keeping blogs up to date.
that is all ;)

Look Away Now

It's Xmas Day and what better way to start the day than to worry about all those calories I'm about to consume! Lol

Actually the heating is broken so... I figure all the extra energy I'll be using to stay warm the next few days will go some way to helping me burn off those mince pies in my eyes haha

I've actually tried to relax a little on the food front this xmas and only get some nice stuff in, not every thing in existence... i'm grateful that i can eat chocolate and xmas pud today but you know it can turn into an Eat All You Can Xmas if you're not careful...

i wonder what time the gym is open on Monday.. haha and i'm not even joking! Merry Xmas Skinny B*tches! X

Operation Flatpack

I am 3 sessions into a new Personal Trainer and Operation Flatpack!

I met my new PT Lisa in the sauna at my gym.. she'd just qualified as a PT and was starting flogging her services asap.. and she looks AMAZING! Lol which I'm guessing will help with getting business!

So a low carb diet, several protein shakes and anti-oxidant drinks later here I am, currently weighing 10s 1lb and holding.. it's very difficult as a veggie to do low carb tho so i really need help with interesting things to do with beans! I guess I need to master the veggie chilli!

The stuff she's being doing to my abs has been far out tho, sometimes I think she wants me to die right there on the mat but fair dos I can definitely feel my waist whittling... and since I'm hoping for some beach action in October I should be just about flat by then! Lol

I will as ever keep you posted!

pride cometh before a gain

so it turns out that being excited about meeting your target weight is something you should not talk about out loud... haha

moving house + birthday = 7 lbs gain in a week! er, what?! how is that possible?! i shall never eat again!

pesky scales of pain!

OMG!

Seriously tho - I can't believe this day has come and maybe it won't last but I better note it while it IS the case...

I am under 10stone! For the first time in about 7 years I reckon... And I been eating crap recently too! It's my birthday next week, was hoping to look slimline and lovely... best present ever - being a skinny b*tch!

The gym works kids! lol

Over and out, 9stone 9lbs...

the scales don't lie

i have bought some scales in a bid to remind myself to stop eating biscuits again lol

so far this is working, but it is the honeymoon period...

Let them eat cake

Today I ate cake. And pizza. And drank cider. And missed the gym. I think you should know that nobody is more disappointed in myself than me!!!

Okay the cake I can explain. The other half's birthday.. can't not eat birthday cake!

The pizza was bad timing. I had a bad day at the office. No time for lunch and then 'birthday pizza' arrived as the station was 3 years old today... who can resist?

The gym wasn't happening as soon as I committed to a third slice...

The cider has just been consumed because it's Friday and it's been a busy week folks... plus I feel like now it's been the Budget Superstar it's the right thing to do!

The weekend will be a sociable one so more calories no doubt but come Monday, oh yes, I am sooo back on the wagon! I will be donating the Ginger Nuts in my drawer to charity (or the sales team haha)

guinness and chips

on Sunday i was at the Birmingham St Patrick's Parade with my mum - it was Mothering Sunday too... a happy coincidence as she loves a jig and a guinness!

the problem is guinness is very calorific... and at a parade you can only really get junk food to snack on so chips were eaten... to cut a long story short i was definitely not enjoying a skinny b*tch lifestyle on Sunday!

it's a slippery slope this 'holiday' living! i have a few days off work and the booze and no doubt chips will flow... then i'll spend 2 weeks working off the holiday pounds! quel beast!

but what's a girl to do? a sober St Patrick's Day cannot and should not ever occur! lol
