Two new additions to the Muckle family :0)

Tuesday already, had a great weekend, Friday as I said we had Emma, Lee, Lewis and Andrew over. Saturday we got up and once we'd done a bit house work we had a walk over to the Fox Cover as it was a lovely day. We sat outside and had a few drinks then Cerrie, Mickey and the kids came and met us. It was really nice. We went home about sixish and sat in the garden. Claire and Chris came over later on followed by Chris' brother Pete and his girlfriend Lyndsey. We had a great night.
Sunday we got up and pottered round for a bit then went to meet my mam and dad at the Block and Tackle with Lewis, we stayed there till about 5.30 then came home as Elise was coming home with the two new rabbits, they are so cute. Once is her old rabbit called Sweetie and the other one is his son, Peter. They have separate hutches as apparently they will fight but they are just lovely.
Got my dress for the party on Sunday, I love it. Just need to sort shoes, bag and jewelery out then that's me sorted and Leesco still needs some new shoes. Uniform's all sorted ready for middle school. She looks so grown up.
She's off to Yasmin's this afternoon for her birthday, they are going to Gianni's for their tea then she's staying over.
Got another busy weekend this weekend then it's bank holiday Monday wooppee. Only 3 days at work for me next week.

Just today!

Struggling to keep up with the days now so no more counting days, it's annoying now. Been to get weighed and have lost 1.5lbs so not bad going considering I've been having food. Went to Matalan last night and got our big numbers (balloons) for the party, I also got some more confetti and bought a lovely dress (see picture)(yes Dave another one) but it was only £16 bargain.
Got Mer and Lee coming over tonight for drinks, going to make fajitas too.
Got to get back to work now.
Bye bye chicken pie. x

DAY 100 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness 100 days and only a few slip ups. Had a bit of a disastrous weekend in the diet sense but other wise great. Friday I ended up not getting weighed as I didn't have the car and to be honest I had enough left to do me for a few more days, I was supposed to be going tonight but I've just emailed Paula and I'm going to wait until Friday.
Went to a friend of Joanna's on Friday night and had a really good night but did have some food. Saturday I took Dave and the boys to Morpeth then I went to Whitley with Leeney and Michelle. We had a great night it was good fun. I have to say there was some bonny sights in the Bay ha ha. Put it this way the girls were scrapping on the stage in Pier 39, classy.
On Sunday we went to Gianni's (yes bloody Gianni's) and again I had food. Bad, bad, bad girl. However since then I'm back to SS and feel fine. I'm just going to have to see how I've done on Friday. I felt a bit rubbish on Sunday night about it but to be honest now I know that I just have to get back on with it which I'm not finding too bad. :0) I certainly don't feel any worse or like I have put weight on so fingers crossed I might just get away with it.
Getting very excited for the party only 16 days to go woo hoo. Still got to get plates and cutlery, go and get the balloons and nip to Matalan. I've booked my nails, tan and eyelash extensions for the Thursday night. I have actually ordered another dress which is fab so may have changed my mind about the outfit but shall wait and see. Dave is not very enthusiastic about the whole thing at the mo because he knows that when the party is here his summer holidays are kind of over, what a bloody shame eh. Ha ha.
On the holiday front think we may have had another rethink on the dates, feeling a bit bad about taking Leesco out of school so think we may go in the October holidays. I suppose it's not that far away. It's going to be a bit more expensive but I suppose it'll be better for her. It's crap really the fact that they discourage you to take your children out of term time but at the end of the day when you're looking at £1000 more, well.
Had our Liam to stay last night, they were both hyper, very funny, they just wind each other up something rotten. Elise has got her friend coming to stay on Thursday then she is staying at her dad's on Friday and Saturday this week, so she's being kept busy.
Think I'm going to have a clear out of my wardrobe's tonight they are a tip, also could really do with throwing some clothes away which don't fit anymore but I'm rubbish and just hang on to things.
Off up the street now in the rain to go to the bank. Boo.

Day 95 Walking!!

Well, only 95 days into my diet and I got off my lazy ass and went for a walk last night. We got in and Dave had his tea and I got in the bath then I was once again a bit lost with out Elise so Dave suggested we go for a walk around the lake, so off we went about 8 o clock, it was really lovely and took us about 45 mins to walk about 2 and a half miles so not bad. Only thing I didn't like were the little midgey fly things, bah horrid.
Dave went yesterday up to his grandpa's house in Wooler to pick up the mattress from his house as he had a brand new mattress still in the cover and we could do with a new one so he took the little van from my work and picked it up. Only problem is our bed base is king size but it is a double mattress, hmm, anyhoo Dave has put it on and it is actually fine, just a slight gap at either side. We both slept great last night though so it's done the trick and stopped Dave moaning about his side being down hill.
Had toothache all morning so have been to the dentist at lunch time and he says it is is my wisdom tooth coming through, he's given me some anti biotics but said to wait and see how it is over the weekend and if it is no better then to start taking them.
Cerrie rang last night and they are still having a great time and informed us they won't be coming back until FRIDAY!! Mind they must be having fun.
This weekend I'm going to a house party with Jugs on Friday night then Saturday Dave is going out to Morpeth with the boys for his birthday so I'm dropping them off at 2 o clock then going over to Leeney's as we are going to Whitley. Woo Hoo !! Can't wait.
Day 3 of being back on sole source so hopefully should be back into ketosis after today. :0) May even go crazy and go out on my bike tonight but will let you know.
Chow for now x x

Day 94 Going Good!

Well managed to stay 100% Sole Source yesterday which I'm pleased about, as it is hard sometimes to get back into it. Had a really busy day yesterday work wise as both the girls were off so my day flew. Dave picked me up then he went for a run and I just tidied up and did a bit of housework. When he came back we went to Asda and got his tea and I bought a new book. When we got home we watched a bit of telly then went up to bed. Once again we are a bit lost without Leesco as she is off camping with aunty Cerrie, Uncle Mickey, Liam and Cerys. They are having a fab time and apparantley the weather has been really nice. BUT, poor little Cerys!!! Cerrie rang yesterday to say she had been stung by an evil wasp, not once but twice, poor little thing. She was very brave though and didn't cry much. Argh bless her heart.
I've really missed them, as I haven't seen them all since last Friday :0(
So, feeling quite good and very focused. Going to go and have my porridge for my dinner now. I've got my outfits sorted for my party and the Saturday night, they fit, but I think if I could just lose another 1/2 stone they would look better. Very excited now, can't wait. x x

Day 87 - 93 Happy Birthday Hubby for Saturday!!

Again, I can't believe where the time has gone, since I last blogged it has been Lydia's (our god daughter) birthday so we went round to see her on Thursday night. Friday we had pre Dave's birthday drinks at ours and Jill, Marc and the boys, Cerrie Mickey and the kids, Janine, Chris, Lewis, Andrew and Jugs all came over. It was really nice and we sat out in the garden whilst the kids played.
Saturday was obviously Dave's birthday and he had a lovely day. I got him a new wedding ring (long story but he lost his last one), aftershave, a ted baker jumper, a shirt, slippers, dressing gown. Anti wrinkle cream lol, smellys, socks and undies, so he was very spoilt. He also got money from family and friends. Elise got picked up at 11 then we got ready and headed to Wooler about 3ish. We had a fab afternoon / night and came back home the next day about lunch time. We then went to the Block and Tackle to meet mam and dad and Emma, Lee, Claire and Chris popped in to see us so all in all a fab weekend.
Yesterday (Monday) I had booked off so we just had a lovely lie in then went and did some shopping and went for our lunch. From here I will carry on regarding the diet. Since doing add a meal I have struggled a bit, some days I haven't had anything but then others for example yesterday I had a Sunday dinner, so not great really. BUT, back on sole source from today. I know I'm going to be out of ketosis so may struggle a bit for a couple of days but hey ho. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, it was Dave's birthday and I enjoyed it so I'm putting it behind me and back on track. I got weighed on Friday and lost 1.5lb so at least I still lost and I don't think that's too bad considering it was add a meal, just hope I haven't done too much damage over the weekend. I've got a good 3 days now to get myself back into ketosis and I still need to keep telling myself that I've lost nearly 40lbs which isn't bad going.
So it's 3 weeks on Friday to the party so as long as I stay 100% SS I know I can have at least another half a stone off.

Day 83 - 86 FOCUS!!!

I don't know where the time is going at the minute, the weekend has flown over. Had a quiet night on Friday and was in bed for 8 o clock. Think I was just in a bad fettle after only losing 1/2 a lb. Saturday we had a lovely day just pottering about, Dave went for a run and I did some housework. Saturday night we went to Blyth as Dave's friend was playing in Nikhs. Later on we went back to Claire and Chris' and were later joined by Emma and Lee, turned into a bit of a late one but had a great night.
Sunday we went to the Block and Tackle to see my mam and dad with Lewis and his friend then went back to mine.
I was training yesterday at The Caledonian Hotel in Jesmond which was bloody borning but didn't get finished late so wasn't too bad. Watched Indiana Jones don't know which one but the latest one, last night, it was OK, not really my cup of tea but Leesco liked it which has resulted in her getting the lego game for the wi.
Diet wise, everything going OK, not having much in the way of add a meal just a small amount of chicken with salad. I am 100% focused and really motivated as I've just ordered 7 dresses for my birthday oops. Well obviously I'm not keeping them all but maybe 2 ha ha. Not long now, only 4 weeks to go.
Dave is excited for his birthday on Saturday, me and Elise are going to make him breakfast in bed then give him all of his presents. Elise is going away to her dad's about lunch time then me and Dave will be heading up to Wooler after that. woo hoo x
My mam's just called into work for a coffee and shown me the brochure of where they are going for their holidays, my god it is fabulous, they are going to Cancun in Mexico, it is unbelievable. Lucky things, we still haven't booked but are thinking of just booking last minute in September.
