Grrrr...1/2lb on! Yet another bloody gain - whats happening to me?
I need to find a way out of this slump - my head knows what it should be doing, but my hearts not in it.
Not good.

Bug-ger...
woke up this morning with a vile headache, spent most of the morning on the loo (perhaps I should WI again today!) and the rest of the time feeling sick, dizzy and very tearful. Hmmm, a bug methinks - might also explain why I havent been myself this week!
I forced myself to have 2 x crumpets for breakfast, as I thought the feeling sick/dizzy was down to not eating.
wrong.
I've been drinking herbal teas, but its now gone lunchtime and I cant bring myself to eat anything - not a good start to my being 'back on track', but cant be helped I guess. I shall aim to keep up my water consumption in any case, if nothing else it will help flush me out...
Thank goodness for the weekend - nothing planned for this one, so intend to just go with the flow and hope this bug passes quickly.
have a good one people!

Lardy Da...
WI this morning brought everything into sharp relief, with a 1.5lb gain, how did that happen? (rhetorical question)
OK its been an bit of an emotional couple of weeks, and I know some of it will have been comfort eating, but even so, no one force fed me the KFC I had last night.....which I didnt want, and was hideous btw, and when all else fails there is always the word 'no'.
meh.
I desperately want/need to motivate myself, and I am trying, but nothing seems to be happening! What is wrong with me!
I stayed to meeting today, and even that had no effect. I have a WW magazine here that I bought a couple of weeks ago, and I have yet to read it. I've thought about reading it, but I just cant pick it up - its almost like I have a mental block. Twice today I have thought - I'll go and read that in a minute, but then I dont....and I am not even sure what I have done instead!
Does anyone else ever get like this? How do you get yourself out of it?
I really need to get back on my game, but while I know what I have to do, and can sit here talking about it, I cant seem to put the words into action.

tempus fugit.....
yikes - so long since my last post!
Its been a busy few weeks, and I seem to have got out of the habit of everything 'weightwatchers'.
No planning, no pointing, no tracking, no drinking of of water- losing that first stone was more luck than judgement I think!
The only thing I have tried to do was go to meetings to get weighed, but even that wasnt always possible. I'm just thankful not to have put weight on!
Exams and interviews over, my young people can now quite deservedly relax and enjoy their summer, and I can hopefully get myself back into the habit of tracking etc - and more importantly blogging. I didnt realise quite how much getting my thoughts and feelings down, helped me make sense of it all!
The upside is, I feel that my body shape is changing and people are starting to notice....possibly because I am not wearing my usual big, shapeless, baggy t-shirts over jeans, and am actually making a bit of an effort! I still reckon I look like my Dad in drag (love him), but hey, baby steps!
I need and really MUST start staying to meetings, rather than the rush in, weigh, rush out regime of late - it cant be helped, or at least in couldnt be in the last few weeks, but I had no excuse for bunking off last Thursday.
I had intended to stay, really I had - I'd even got myself a cuppa, but then something (or should I say someone) happened.
There is a member who (quite irrationally) bugs the sh*t out of me...she would dominate the whole meeting if the leader didnt shut her up. I am sure she is a very nice lady - certainly she seems very popular, and there can be no denying she has lost a lot of weight, but her nasal whiny voice cuts through the air like a knife, and I swear will make my ears bleed if subjected to it for too long.....btw - did I mention I am hormonal?!
Oddly enough a Gold member who knows everything there is to know about WW and who has lost and kept off a mahoosive amount of weight for years, seems to annoy most folk, yet I find her very interesting....horses for courses eh?
RIGHT! I need to get over this silliness and FOCUS ON ME, not anyone else.

trying again!
Yesterday I spent ages typing up the ins and outs of my bank holiday weekend, then for some inexplicable reason lost the lot when I hit 'publish'. ...there's a message in there somewhere Debs!!
The potted version (kinder to your eyeballs):
I've had a fantastic few days, and have probably been very naughty in the scran department, although I have mostly tried to be sensible.
I made a conscious decision not to point/track while I was away in Amsterdam, didn't drink, but ate too much of the wrong things I am sure. I've done loads of walking since Friday, so am hoping that's off set any dietary naughtiness.
Not had a car again today, so wasn't able to get to WI - probably just as well! I am back to pointing/tracking/guzzling water, like a pointy/tracky/guzzly thing.
I was a bit ticked off to find that one of the terriers had chewed my Wii controller in my absence. That'll teach me for leaving it out - thankfully I have another.
Talking of which...I feel a boogie coming on!

things that make you go 'ooooh'....
... although in this case it was more like 'oh'.
I lost a 1lb, which was a bit short of the 1.5/2lb I was hoping for to break through losing that first stone. While this is a bit frustrating, I appreciate any loss at all, and next week will be my week!
I couldn't stay to meeting this week, as I had a friends memorial service to go to - people are dropping like flies around me, which is a bit disconcerting, but which also kinda put things into perspective.
I also had a couple of unexpected NSV ( the concept of the NSV would have amused my friend greatly). In rummaging for something 'suitable' to wear in my wardrobe, I came across a pair of black trousers I had only tried on a couple of weeks previously, but had rejected as too tight back then.
Much rummaging later, and I decided there was nothing for it, but to wear the tight black trousers, with a long top, and just hope we didn't have to sit down too much!! I was delighted to find on putting them on in the morning, that not only did they fit, but were comfortably loose!
I had a while to spare before heading off for the service, so I decided to input my WI result onto my weight tracker. I had to smile when up popped a little bouncing grey star, announcing I had lost 5%! Suddenly my little WI cloud had a ray of sunshine peeping through it!
I'm looking forward to a trip with Himself.com to Amsterdam next week. Its only an over-nighter, but I get to pamper myself, while he is in his meeting, and later we can do a bit of sight seeing together. if nothing else its a change of scenery!
have a good weekend x

the post with no name....
The palpitations have started! WI tomorrow and I am so desperately wanting to have lost 2lbs to take me through that first stone, and I shall be so cross with myself if I have gained...no point stressing before I've even stepped on the scales...but of course I shall!
I'm wittering.
If nothing else last weekends 'BBQ-gate' has shown me how easy it is to wibble off track without even thinking, and the good thing is I have been tested several times since and haven't succumbed.
There has been half a bounty in the door of the car (left there by Himself.com)for the past week and this evening I insisted he either finish it off or bin it. I couldn't even trust myself to throw it away you see - Bountys are a weakness and it was like a Siren calling my name....Debs....Deeeeebbbbs......
Having picked up #3Son following his trip with friends to watch the England game, we then had to pootle back to Brighton to pick up #2Son who had been to a rock gig. En route we had a couple of scheduled stops for a Costa coffee (as predicted!) and general nose powdering brought about my uber water consumption. On our last stop we concluded that #2Son might appreciate something to salve an attack of the munchies brought about by physical exertions in the Mosh Pit.
M&S had 2for4 quid buckets of rocky road mini nibbly cakey type things... and the deal was done. Worry not, despite having them on my lap for the rest of the journey none passed my lips...that isn't to say I didn't consider it mind! I warned the family today, that if they didn't finish them off pronto they'd be in the bin covered in washing up liquid (rocky roads not family!). They didn't need telling twice ;o)
I was chatting to Himself.com about my admiration for people who can treat themselves to a curly wurly or a small crunchie (or whatever tickles the fancy), but I cant trust myself to stop at just one! A treat to me, is like a green light to stuff as much 'contraband' into my mouth as possible like some kind of demented homo sapien/hamster hybrid...cheese or chocolate I'm ya gal!! I wish I could treat myself but much better just to abstain....I am a martyr to it ;o)
As its the end of the month I am trying to use up things we already have rather than buy more - if that makes sense.
Breakfast:
2x ww roasted peanut bars 3.5pts
(met up with a friend for breakfast and rather than be tempted by a bacon or sausage roll took the above in my bag)
Lunch:
Ham and philadelphia salad sandwiches 6.5 pts
Dinner:
Tuna pasta
garlic bread
cheese
ww double choc brownie desert 13.5pts
options belgian hot choc 0.5pts
2ltrs of water
I've only saved about ten points this week, but I have tried throwing my bod about whenever possible although its probably best not to linger on that thought!! I hope its been enough though...I really do.
