Well, just about all packed and ready to go. Most of our stuff is sorted just got last minute things to put in. Went for my waxing last night, which wasn't too painful. Last day at work today so you can guarantee it is going to drag. Wrapped all of Elise's presents last night so they are just to go in the case. Dave is off today (lucky thing) so he has got the last of our jobs to do.
Going to see my CDC tonight after work for my last weigh in so fingers crossed that I have lost another couple of pounds.
Elise stayed at her dads last night, apparently she is in the Journal today or tomorrow, her dad is opening a riding for the disabled yard therefore they were coming to take their picture.
Taking our cases to Mickey's mams tonight as we are getting the bus from there in the morning @ 5.45am. Then we are staying at Cerrie and Mickey's tonight so hopefully will only have my nails left to do.
Dave was having a look this morning and apparently there is Internet connection near our apartments so hopefully will still be able to keep up my blog whilst on holiday.

Day 43
Well, what a weekend. Went and got weighed on Saturday morning and lost 2 1/2 pounds, so that is 18 pounds altogether whilst doing CD, but 2 stone 9lbs in total which I am totally chuffed with. Went for my hair done after that and I really like it, it is still the same style but a bit shorter but it is quite dark.
After the hairdressers we went to the Metro Centre, got totally sorted, got loads of clothes and stuff all really cheap, Primark and Matalan are great. Came home about tea time and ended up going to Whitley Bay with Claire, Claire, Cerrie, Lindsay, and Sarah, had a really good time. Me and Cerrie got a taxi home about 11 and met Dave in Bubbles woo hoo. After Bubbles we went back to Mark and Ginna's house, oh dear and ended up going home at 5am. Disgraceful I know.
Didn't get up until lunch time on Sunday which was lovely then went to mams for dinner, I had a small dinner with just chicken and veg which was fantastic. We then went to Asda in Blyth to get bits and pieces then we went to Blockbusters to get some dvd's. We watched Hot Fuzz last night which was ok, I think Dave enjoyed it more than me. I was in bed for nine o clock and fell straight asleep, think the night before caught up on me.
Am at work now and I think these next 3 days are going to be the longest in history. The mood is really low at work today, it is really sad as one of our work colleagues passed away on Wednesday and it is his funeral today, I have said I will stay behind and watch the phones, I know no one particularly likes funerals but I don't deal with them very well so I thought I would just stay back.
Going to pack tonight which is all really exciting. Only 2 more days at work woo hoo.

Day 40
Well it's Friday at last. Thank the Lord. To be honest this week has gone by quite quickly considering we are on countdown. Ooh and some exciting news in the Muckle household, I now have a washing line, good old dad came round after work and put it up, can't wait to get some washing on there. THANKS DAD. My god I lead a sad life getting excited over a washing line, but come on it is retractable.
Been really busy, last night took Elise swimming and she was great. Then Cerrie and Mickey came over and stayed, I got all of my holiday clothes out and to be honest there isn't a lot else that I need. It feels great to be trying on clothes and not feeling quite as fat. However, mind the whole bikini thing, not a good look. Since having Elise I have got a kangaroos pouch that I just can't get rid of. I would love a tummy tuck, but apart from the cost I shouldn't really be thinking of this until after (hopefully) we have another baby. Elise was funny the other night. We were talking about babys and she said in a very shocked voice, My God mam, if you have another baby can you imagine how many MORE of those lines (stretch marks)you are going to have on your tummy. (Hmmm what a lovely daughter I have).
Anyway, going to go home tonight and blitz the house ready for the weekend, then going for my weigh in tomorrow morning then off for my hair done at 12. After this Elise will be going to her dads so me and Dave are going to go and finish the rest of our shopping,only need a few more bits and pieces then need to get the rest of Elise's birthday presents. So far we have gotten her some puppy in your pockets, she wants a new flat screen telly for her bedroom which we will have to order, she is getting some lacoste trainers from marma, Aunty Cerrie has bought her the mario game for her DS, and I think we are getting her a pink music system for her room.
Don't know what we will do tomorrow night, we may well be shattered after a day of me dragging Dave around the Metro Centre.
Went shopping for the rest of Elise's holiday clothes yesterday I got her loads of things, they are all gorgeous but were really cheap, Ethel Austin is great. My cousin Claire came with me and bought her a pair of leggings and a big girls top with a belt. (Claire she adored it, she thinks she is the bees knees). She was so engrossed yesterday I said to her, "you will have to thank Claire when you see her" and she turned round and said ooh thanks, I said, she's not here you loon. V Excited little girl.
Work is going fine, I start my first lot of training on the 24 July, this will be FSA Supervisor training, so looking forward to that. I meet with our area Manager for trading on Tuesday so that should be interesting also.
Well Done Aunty Pat and Claire on your weight losses this week, we are unfortunately all in the same flipping boat, but we just have to keep plugging away. Also I thought I would give my big (not in the size sense) Cerrie a little mention as she has done fantastically well also and has lost I think over a stone, and I think her little sis has been stealing the lime light a little with my very dramatic diet. So well done Cerrie also.
Just been outside for a ciggie and it is glorious. Just getting me in the mood for my hols. Going to go for a sunbed tonight. Only 3 more working days. Whooppee!!

Day 38
Well I can still walk today which is a good sign, because after muscle mix last night I had serious doubts.
Had a meeting at work today and it is good news I have a new job, well I will have from the 1st of September. My new job title will be Support Services Officer. This will be more money and obviously more responsibility. It will involve lots of training and I will become the FSA Supervisor therefore overseeing the Trading and Insurance Services. I am really looking forward to the challenge however I am a little apprehensive. It has come at a good time really as we are moving into our new resource centre in September so all change on the work front.
Work has flown over today which is good and only 8 days to go, well only 5 more work days. Going spinning tonight then going to go for a sunbed. I started packing Elise's case last night, she is going to need a whole suitcase to herself. Oops.
Just heard Lola has had her stitches taken out and has been given some more antibiotics. The vet has said that she will always have problems with her lungs due to the infection, bless her, but we will just have to keep an eye on her. She is going to stay with Sheila now until we get back from our holidays, we thought it would probably be best rather than dragging her up and down again.

Day 37
Went for a sunbed last night. Me and Dave have booked 60 minutes each for our holidays. I am so white as I haven't seen any sun whatsoever for over two years and no sunbeds in this time. I just want to get a little bit of colour so I don't frazzle while I am away.
Got in and watched heroes in bed which was great. If you haven't watched it while it has been on sci fi channel, get it when it moves to another channel or comes out on dvd.
Just checked the temperature in Lanzarote and it is 27 degrees. Whoopee.
Going to Muscle Mix tonight as I am not at college so thought I would put my time to good use. I am sure I will be in a lot of pain tomorrow but hey ho. Lola is getting picked up tonight at 7pm and Sheila is taking her back up to hers for her stitches out. Poor little mite she will be thinking where am I going now.
Just spoken to Cerrie, and Mickey's exhaust fell off this morning on the way to take the kids to school. Nightmare. What is it with exhausts at the moment?
Feeling really good again regarding the diet, I have had no problems getting back into sole sourcing which is good as I was a little worried. After I see my CDC on Saturday I will go back on Wednesday for my last weigh in before my hols and sort out my packs for going away. I have decided that I will have packs for breakfast and dinner then have one meal in the evening. I have vowed that I will stick to just chicken and veg or salad for the majority of the fortnight, however I have promised myself three treats. One being an Indians, another a pizza and another a burger. I don't really know why a burger as I have never really been fussed but I just think it must be all of the bbq's I have been to recently that is making me crave one.
Elise is going to her dad's tonight straight from school as she is going to her other cousin (Kyle's) 2nd birthday party, so that should be fun. Then tomorrow she is going to Kirkley Hall with the school as she has been picked to take part in an Activate Sports Partnership Presentation at their annual conference. Don't really know what that is all about but I am sure she will fill me in.
Into single figures now, only 9 days to go! Whooppee!!

Day 36
Well, once again not managed to post over the weekend, however this time I do have a genuine reason. Dave's mac has been away to the mac doctors. It has been like chopping his arms off.
Got weighed on Saturday morning and have lost another 3 and a half pounds, which I was really pleased with considering I have done add a meal week and have my period.
Went back to the doctors on Friday following my scan on Monday and he has given me some tablets (Clomid) which should hopefully make me ovulate. I have to start taking them next month as I will be on holiday this month when I should have gone back to the docs, so when I get my next period I have to start taking them for 5 days, I then need to (do the deed) 14 days after that, then go back to the doctors 21 days after this. I will then have some tests done which will determin whether the tablets have worked. If they have that is great and in his words I just need to go off and get pregnant, however if they haven't they will look at either increasing the dosage or trying another treatment, so fingers crossed and we shall wait and see.
After I got weighed on Saturday Elise went off to her dads and me and Dave had a lazy day in the house, it was lovely. Saturday night we were supposed to be going to watch Tony playing in his band but unfortunately they were cancelled. We did however still go to Ashington with my cousin Claire, and her finace Chris and my sis Cerrie. We ended up having a really good night and not getting in until about 1.30am. Have to admit had a few too many. Had a great nights sleep though and lay in until 1pm. Couldn't believe the time. It was lovely. Went to mam and dads for dinner it being fathers day and all, and I had a very small dinner which was fabulous. It was great being able to sit and eat with everyone. My last day on add a meal so back to sole sourcing next week. After dinner me and Dave went and did a little bit of holiday shopping got some clothes for me (size smaller) and Elise so getting really excited. Went and bought Elise some birthday presents too as need to get sorted for that.
When we got home I did the front garden while Dave cleaned the car inside and out, so quite a productive afternoon really.
Back to work today and have made a deal with myself that I will drink at least four litres of water every day this week as it has definitely slipped this weekend. Had a strawberry shake for breakfast and have chicken and mushroom soup for dinner. Going to get my eyebrows waxed straight from work, I am going with Joanne from work to try a new girl out in Newbiggin. She has just started doing it from home so she is quite cheap so we thought we would give her a go.
Only 10 days to go. Whooppee.

Day 32
What a flipping day. Dave rang me this morning to tell me that the exhaust had fallen off the car, great, so my boss said that I could borrow hers to go and pick him up and take him to school. So, off I went to get him from home. I nipped in to go to the loo and when we got back in the car the car wouldn't start. I couldn't believe it. It's bad enough your own car not working but when it is someone elses, it is even worse. I ended up having to get someone else from work to come and pick Dave up whilst I waited for roadside recovery. What a disaster, and to top it all off I turned up today. Great.
On a lighter note, feeling in a good mood, and diet going really well. Got in from work tonight and saw my cousin Claire which was nice as haven't seen her since her hols. She looks fantastic, still doing great on her diet (nearly 3 stone lost) and really brown (v jealous). Thursday night again means swimming for Elise so off we went to the Leisure Centre. Fun, fun. Rachael and Jodie have been round as they are going on holiday on Monday so Rachael wanted to borrow some clothes.
Cerrie and Mickey are staying tonight as the saga continues with the car and Dave is borrowing Cerrie's car tomorrow and dropping her off at work. Marma is having to pick me and the kids up.
I have had 70g of quorn, 1tbs of lettuce and 1tbs of cucumber for tea, which was really nice. Me and Cerrie have been trying holiday clothes on tonight which was quite exciting apart from the fact that most of the clothes were size 12's my god it just shows me how far I still have to go, which in a way is a good thing because a lot of the clothes I am wearing at the moment are too big which makes you feel really good and comfortable, however as soon as you put something on that is too tight you feel totally different.
Going to Cerrie and Mickey's tomorrow night and Jugs (aka Jugsy, Jo, Joanna) is coming over then Saturday the car is getting fixed and Saturday night me and Dave are going to Bubbles to see Tony (my friend from works son) play in his band. Also another thing I have vowed to do for the last god knows how many weeks is weed the front of the house. (Sheila you would be disgusted). Anyway, looking forward to another weekend, it is amazing how fast they are coming around.
I have attached a few pictures of little Lola and the kids in their swimming gear. Oh and a nice one of Lola’s stitches. Lol

Day 31
Well Lola is home. Bless her little heart, it is so lovely having her back. She is back to her normal self mooching around the place. My goodness what is going on with the weather it is horrendous. Went to bed early last night as I did end up getting away early from college it was lovely, watched Big Bro in bed. I have to say I hate Charley. She is an absolute moron. However I can sympathise with the cigarette situation. Woke up this morning and Lola was sitting in our on suite sink looking at me it was hilarious.
Don't know if I mentioned my scan but I went for my scan (ovary scan) on Monday. It went fine and I go back on Friday morning to find out the results so at least we are getting somewhere. It is quite daunting actually the fact that we are in the process of getting pregnant (hopefully) where as if you try and it just happens even though it is planned it is kind of different where I feel this is more definite as they will give me something to make me ovulate therefore the chances are likely to be higher. I sometimes think my god am I mad. Elise is so self sufficient and grown up and the thought of doing it all again is frightening, however on the other hand I want nothing more.
Seeing as it was our 2nd anniversary on Sunday I thought I would post some pictures of our big day. I am really starting to see a difference when I look back at pictures and in a way I really wish I had done this diet before I got married but then again regardless of my weight it was the most perfect day of my life so I am just grateful of that. I keep saying to my dad that I want to do it again, (with Dave of course) can't understand why but he isn't up for it. Hmmm, may have something to do with the cost. Lol.
Been spinning tonight it was great, really enjoyed it even though the woman is evil and really fit. Had my shake, soup and bar today then had 2oz chicken and 2 tablespoons of broccoli when I got in. It feels great to be able to eat. I have been having it on a tea plate and I think in the future I should always eat off a smaller plate even when I am not on the diet as it definitely helps. Particularly considering the size of our dinner plates, they are like wheel trims.
Oh by the way as you may have noticed I have changed my blog template however it comes out a bit funny on Dave's mac but fine at work so if any one is seeing it a bit higgledy piggledy let me know.
Thank you everyone for your comments they are really keeping me going.

Day 30
Haven't updated my blog for a while and just don't know where the time has gone. Got weighed on Saturday and lost another 4.8lbs. Was pleased with that so that gives me a grand total of 13.8lbs since starting CD. Spoke to my CDC about the add a meal week and she said I should definitely do it even if it is just for a couple of the nights. Last night I had 50g chicken and two table spoons of broccoli. It was bizarre.
Lola is coming home today. She had her operation yesterday and is fine. She will stay with us for 10 days before she has to go back and have her stitches out. Can't wait to see her we have all really missed her.
Got college tonight. Have had my last exam so it is all course work from now so hopefully shouldn't be there too long.

Day 25
Went spinning last night which was really hard work. The girl taking the class was relentless but I have to admit I felt great when I had finished. Had quite a quiet day at work which has made the day drag.
It was Elise's swimming night tonight and she has received her first reward yeah hey, she got her first badge and a certificate. She is doing really well, she only has two more lessons left until our holiday so fingers crossed she should be swimming great by then.
Had strawberry shake for breakfast which I now love and is my favourite then had a malt toffee bar for dinner which was ok. I am back to not being hungry at all and it is bothering me less and less not eating, I think the only time that it gets to me is when it is a social occasion but I keep telling myself that however bad I feel for the hour or so is no where near as bad as I would feel if I had something to eat. Next week is add a meal week which consists of me having one meal a day as well as my two shakes. This will be 3oz chicken and two table spoons of green veg. I am feeling a bit apprehensive actually what with my holidays being so close and also I am sure it will feel weird eating again after 4 weeks, I just hope I will be able to get straight back to Sole Sourcing (no food) the week after. Apparently the amount I will be eating will not knock me out of ketosis though so fingers crossed.
Thanks Aunty P and Alan for your comments. I am trying to sort out a ticker for my blog and promise I will sort some photos out.
Watching Big Bro at the moment. It is mental. Naughty Emily eh. Idiots.
Friday tomorrow whoppee
Night night

It was Elise's swimming night tonight and she has received her first reward yeah hey, she got her first badge and a certificate. She is doing really well, she only has two more lessons left until our holiday so fingers crossed she should be swimming great by then.

Day 23 (Happy Birthday Dad)
Today has been quite a good day however I have felt quite hungry for some reason. Don't know why as I am still in ketosis and still haven't eaten a thing. I don't know whether it is just mental hunger but I feel like my stomach has definitely been rumbling. Anyway haven't fallen off the wagon.
I have officially taken off my wedding ring. No me and Dave aren't splitting up my wedding ring is too big. I lost it last night, it has been loose for the last week or so but I kind of put it down to my hands being cold all of the time. Anyway, last night when I was finishing my jigsaw (whoppee) I noticed that it wasn't on my finger. I was frantic. After a few minutes of running around the house like a looney and shouting for Dave to come and help me look, I found it. However I found it in the most bizarre place, in my bra. I have no idea how the heck it got there the only thing I can think was that I had an itch. Hmmm. So, panic over I found it. I have decided to take it off so it is sitting on top of the piano until I decide whether to have it re sized or get a new one. I have replaced it with my engagement ring though which was too tight yey.
Went to the Block and Tackle tonight before college as it is my dads birthday today. I left Dave and Elise there to have their tea whilst I went off to have my final exam, I am so pleased it is nearly finished only 6 weeks of course work left then I am free on a Tuesday night. Got finished quite early so went back to pick Dave and Elise up, just in time for pudding. Great. Had a black coffee while I waited which was nice. Elise ended up asking if she could stay at Liams tonight and after much pleading off she went.
Just watched CrimeWatch which was awful and now going to watch Big Bro, mind it is so irritating you just have to keep watching. I hate most of them already.
And here it is the finished product. Ta Da. The Jigsaw.

Day 22
My goodness, I have no idea where the weekend has gone, it has absolutely flown. Well, I got weighed on Saturday and lost 4lbs, I was pleased with that and feel like it is finally paying off so that is a total of 9lbs. I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping then I went to a wedding on Saturday night with Cerrie as Dave had all the boys down from Wooler. We met up with them later on and ended up staying out until after 2am.
Mam had a BBQ for dinner on Sunday which looked absolutely fab, still haven't given in to temptation though. Watched The Prestige on dvd last night, I thought it was ok, a little slow, but Dave enjoyed it. For some reason I was really hungry last night, I think it was probably just as it was Sunday and not much happening.
So, back at work today Dave is picking me up for my dinner and we are going up the street. Going to go swimming tonight straight from work as I haven't done any exercise for ages. It's my dads birthday on Tuesday and we are supposed to be going for a meal which would have been hard but I have to go to college as it happens so will have to miss it, Dave is still going to take Elise though.
Going to make Dave's tea tonight he never expects it but I actually quite miss cooking. Even though it is only Monday I can't help thinking about the weekend. We are going to my cousin Emma's barbecue on Saturday afernoon / night, which is another little hurdle, and also it is our wedding anniversary on Sunday and we would have been going away back to Longhirst Hall where we got married, but I told Dave not to book it as I think it would be too much temptation to eat and drink. So, don't know what we are going to do on Sunday yet.
Dave spoke to his mam this morning and she has had Lola back to the vets, the vet has said that she is definitely loads better and she would like her to carry on taking the anti biotics for another 5 days and then hopefully she should be able to have her operation after that. It is weird not having her at home, we really miss her.
Just been thinking only 23 days until our holiday and I have been on the CD for 22 days wow, it has totally flown.

Day 19
What a lovely day it is today, I am currently looking out of the window from my office at work and it looks so lovely and sunny. I left Dave this morning with Elise and her friend Robyn having lots of fun. Dave is going to do the garden which will be a good job done then our Liam is going over to join them, I am sure they will keep him very busy today.
Feeling like I have lost weight today, saying that it is weigh day tomorrow so I should shut up as god knows what the scales will say but will try not to be disappointed as I can definitely tell my clothes are a lot looser.
Not got much planned for this weekend think we are going to the pub for a couple tonight with Mickey, Cerrie, Emma and Lee then back to Cerrie and Mickeys house to watch Big Bro. As I said I get weighed tomorrow at 11ish then we will be dropping Elise off at the farm so might have a meander round Morpeth.
Thought I'd post another picture from camping.
