Testes

Test post!  Not about testes, obvs.

Here I am, slacking again.

I just do not seem to be able to sort my shiz out with this eating lark, it's crazy.  I had a good day yesterday, did breakfast, sensible lunch, proper sensible tea..then I got really sad and blah and ended up eating a slice of cake.  All my good work undone in one moment of ugh.

I also realised I do not hydrate nearly enough, I usually have one cup of coffee at work, and thats it.  Usually for the whole day, I need to sort that out too.

Well, I guess i'll start again, again.

Ugh, I am the worst blogger in the WORLD!

I haven't been good.   That's most of the reason I haven't been blogging, it's finding the time to blog, eat and be good all in one go!  I've worked out for me it's about optimizing what I like, and making it diet friendly, so I don't feel "deprived".

It's a lot harder than it looks at times, and my willpower is shockingly low at the best of times, but I can't keep getting upset that clothes don't fit, or I feel massive if I don't pull my socks up.

I am back on it (again) today, after feeling poorly all of last week, some days I barely ate, others I ate too much, so you'd think that would balance nicely, but sadly life is not that simple :P

I need to make effort with breakfast, and making my own lunches for work etc.  I have just bought a new car, so the freezer will be my friend for a while now, eating what I have instead of wanting something and going out and splurging!!  Should provide some good meals though, full of frozen veggies and meat, nothing too shocking.

So there we have it, here we go... again.

Ugh, I have been a SUPER slacker with this blog.  I've had a rough few weeks with one thing and another and honestly, this just went to the bottom of the pile!

I lost 5lb one week, apparently, but then I went to a wedding and had a catch up with old friends, wine and pizza and well, needless to say I think most of it went back on.  Usually this is where I'd fall off the wagon and say fuck it, but I haven't.  I've said ok, that was a fun time, now back on it!

I noticed I am slacking at breakfast time again, I need to sort that out. And I have been a bit slacky with my points here and there, so I need to sort that out too.   These were Mon/Tues lunches tho, and I really enjoyed them and was full!

Got a bit of a jam/thins thing going on.   I got my new fruitywaterbottle thinger, I am enjoying that and it's faddy, so i'll probably drink more!

Anyway, that's it for now, felt I should write something even if its only me that reads my own blog :D

Friday!

I have reached my first full week (well 5 days) of counting points and I am feeling good about it!  I need to up my water intake, and possibly shovel in some more fruit and veg... but all in all I am ok with what I am having!

I started the day off with a good bit of teen dramatics, so had a fairly late and lazy breakfast of Porridge and Squash!  Was surprised to find this pot was 6 points, but it was super filling so that's ok!

At lunch I was out and about and was torn about what to have, I opted for a pretty hefty all day breakfast..

I have to say I enjoyed EVERY bite.  I do love me some poached eggs, toast and tomatoes, of course the other items were pure bonus :P

I haven't had tea yet, but I have 10 points left and see myself grabbing something quick and easy as I am shattered having been up since almost 5am!  I will instagram it of course, but for now I just wanted to get my blog post done, not that I think anyone reads it, but it makes me feel better to write it down! :P

My instagram btw is heatherfev21 if you are looking at this! <3

Hello, world!

Hellooooo,  I don't know if I'll keep up with this, but I intend it to be my weightloss journey blog,  so this is a test post with today's foodstuffs, except breakfast,  which was a banana! 

This was lunch!  Chicken Mayo Jacket with Coleslaw and Salad,  was pretty humongous and I didn't finish it. 

Tea I ate with my 6 year old so we had hoops,  mas#tags and sausages!    I was pleasently full after this too, although it's not the meal of champions, sometimes you just gotta do thick and fast, huh?!

I only had one snack today, which was another Banana, and I didn't drink much except squash with water!  It's just getting to 8pm and I am feeling a little peckish, but I think my body is just getting used to not eating all the things.

A Little Backstory!

Hi!

Pretty much stole this from my about me page, but ho hum...

I'm Heather, mother of 2 childthings and I guess surrogate to 2 cats and a dog, all of which cause me enormous amounts of stress, alongside various other things, YAY STRESS!

I have always struggled with weight, I have been on every diet going at least once, and I succeed, get bored, plateau and give up.  Everytime I seem to do that I put alllll the weight I have lost back on, plus some more. I am nothing if not consistent.   Sometimes I barely eat, other times I eat everything like my mouth is some kind of negative nutritional vortex of doom, and then.. well, we won't go there, but it's not healthy or pretty.

I started this blog today (end of July 2014) and I have not been brave enough to weigh myself for at least 3 months.   I put in my rough guestimation into the WeightWatchers site when I joined up, and what I last weighed when I peeked at the scales give a few pounds and started on my merry way.  I plan to stick to plan for a week or two, then weigh myself and start from there. A bit ass backward but hi, that's me, you'll see!

I skirt on the borders of a UK size 18 and I am too ashamed to even admit what I weigh, or what I guessed I weigh, but I will pluck up the courage to do that...I hate it, I feel fat, ugly.. all the negative things you can think about yourself, despite what others say and I am doing this to gain more confidence, feel better about myself, be healthier and live longer (although some days are testing and I think that isn't so wise!)  I am kinda pear shaped too, which I hate but oh well, you deal the cards given don't you!?   I really want to see pretty, nice clothes and fit into them without feeling like some kind of uberwhale.

I hate exercise with a passion, like REALLY.  I did join a gym once and enjoy it, didn't last long! I don't mind walking though, so that is my plan when I lose a little bit and feel better about being seen in public in walking attire.  That and my dodgy knee sometimes makes life difficult, but no pain no gain huh!  I have attempted the 30 day shred many a time and I actually enjoy it once I get into it, but getting out of nothing and into that is just hardddd.

Well thats my life story in a nutshell, I hope I stick to this, and I hope I don't bore you to death if you read this!
