Yes...I am still alive

Ok...I know I've not posted in ages...but I've just been very busy. I tried to post one day when I was working on a Saturday as I needed to wait an hour and a half for the system...I tried to post about the Simpsons movie as we had just been to see it. But youtube was blocked...on a Saturday! so I didn't post as text was just boring. I've been staying away from home a couple of nights a week which means that I don't have internet access in the evenings.

This isn't a very good post and boring I know...but I don't feel quite so bad about not posting as Yvonne has been a bit slack as well lately.

I will try and make a good effort to post more often regardless of being busy...

Fat Club ~ Week 3

Yay! I did it again...I lost weight! I really feel as I have a good handle on my weight loss this time and I'm going to get to my goal with plenty of time before the wedding. I'll keep going to Slimming World until at least the wedding and probably need to continue after we get back...2 weeks on a cruise with all that yummy food...I'll be as big as house! Ok...not...but I'm bound to gain.

I lost 2.5lbs this week which brings me to a grand total of 7.5lbs in three weeks. At this Rate I'll be down to my target weight before mum comes in October.

Colleen asked me this week how I was losing my weight. I didn't think I had told her that I was going back to Slimming world. Apparently I hadn't, she just noticed that I'm losing it. There are three things that are really encouraging about losing weight.
1) knowing that the numbers are going down on the scale...not up!
2) noticing that your clothes are getting looser.
3) other people noticing that the weight is coming off!

So hopefully next week will be as good as the past three. Smiley is losing weight as well and I'm really enjoying the food this time...Especially the Veggie Lasagna...sooooooo yummy!

I'm hoping to go swimming again tomorrow. I went on Monday and did 880 meters in just under 20 minutes. My goal is to eventually get up to 1 km in 20 minutes...only 6 lengths more!

On a side note...Moose is sick...I don't want to go into it as it isn't pleasant...but he has a poorly bum and the vet thinks he has an auto immune disease. We've got some new medication for him and hopefully it'll work (It should...costs £50 for 2 weeks!). Poor Moose! I feel so bad for him and just hope and pray that this sorts him out.

And the Winner is...

Jason from Washington Interns gone Bad!

Congratulations Jason on winning the Blog off V.2.0.

If you didn't get around to reading Jason's post I would definatly recommend it...they were fantastic.

Unfortunatly I won't be taking part in the next blog off (V3.0) as I'm far too busy at work and life in general at the moment but take a moment to stop by Courtney's site and support her on her three day walk in Seattle.

On a side note...I know I've been crap at posting lately but I've just been busy! If I could post and drive at the same time...that would sort out a lot of issues! But I can't...I'll try to keep up with it while I'm going through this busy period of my life...please bare with me!

Fat Club...Week 2

Ok...so the weekend wasn't so good. Was in London with Shawna and Scott and after about my fifth Natcho...I realised I probably shouldn't be eating all that super yummy gooeyness! oh well! I still lost 2 lbs which is a grand total of 5lbs in 2 weeks! Whoo hoo!

Next week should be interesting...I found out yesterday that I'm expected to work in Bracknell three days a week. This is not forever...just for now. It's due to the nature of the project I'm working on. Driving the 170 miles round trip is NOT fun especially as its all motorways and the traffic is horrible...check out this previous post! So I will probably stay in Bracknell on Tuesday and Wednesday nights as to save my sanity! (what's left of it!) Lunches will be ok...as I do that now...it'll just be dinners...i'll figure it out.
