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.

Day 81 - 82 ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Been weighed and have only lost 0.5lbs, not very happy, really need to get a hold of myself, it's add a meal this week too which is really daunting but just need to be really disciplined and then hopefully won't put any on next week then back to Soul Source the week after with hopefully a good weight loss. Well fingers crossed anyway.
Going to have a quiet weekend, just the 3 of us staying in tonight and we've got a few blue rays to watch. Gran Torino, Watchmen and Ghost town so that should keep us busy. Watched Marley and me the other night, put it this way I came to work with swollen eyes the next day as it is so sad. :0(
Dave is going up to Wooler in the morning to sort some things out at Grandpa's house then not a lot planned after that.
Going to go away and have a little word with myself as the way I'm feeling you would think I had put a bloody stone on. On a lighter note I tried a dress of our Cerrie's on that I couldn't get the zip up on last week and this week it fits, so maybe I've lost measurements but not weight this week??
Thanks for the comments, my blog definitely helps me in time like this.

Day 76 - 80 Missing Leesco!

Had a really busy weekend. Went to Ladies day on Saturday which was really good. Sun was shining and it was really nice apart from the stinking toilets and the fact that you had to que for 40 mins. But hey ho. After the races I went back and met Dave, Lewis and Ross at the Block and Tackle then headed over to Blyth to meet up with Joanna and her friends Linda and Nicola. Had a fab night and had a sore stomach from laughing so much. Sunday Joanna made dinner for everyone and with Elise still being away at Pony Club camp we stayed all day and had another fab day. Playing silly games and just being generally stupid.
Monday I had taken off so me and Dave had a really lazy day and just watched rubbish tv and snoozed on and off all day which was lovely after our hectic weekend.
Back to work yesterday and it was pretty manic, don't know why it was just crazy everyone wanted something. Didn't do much last night but it was starting to drive us crazy Elise being away, I spoke to her and she has had a fab time and said she had been round the Cross Country Course yesterday. The house is just so quiet without her, it's bizarre. It kind of got us talking about IVF again and when we should start trying again, I just don't like the thought of not having a child in the house, crazy I know. I think we will talk about it after Christmas and see how we feel then.
Anyhoo, Elise is home tonight so can't wait to see her, she said last night that she had missed us which was nice, 5 days is a long time :0( but I'm sure it will have done her the world of good.
Diet wise everything going OK, just a bit apprehensive about add a meal next week, I suppose this is the easy bit when you have not options but it's having control when you need to make choices.
Going to go home for my dinner soon as got a meeting at 1 bell so Laters x x

Day 73 - 75 Growing up :0(

Been busy the last few days, but unfortunately not in the exercise sense. Been a bit crap really. Was going to go out on the bike on Wednesday night but forgot we were all at the dentist. Just for check ups and everything is fine. Doesn't look like Elise will need a brace in her teens which is good, Dave needs a bit of work done and just a scale and polish for me.
Yesterday was really busy at work and had meetings all day however Elise's leavers mass was on at 1.30pm so had to go to that too. It was so lovely, they all did readings stating what their favourite memory of their time in St Aidan's was and it was really emotional. Then at the end of mass Mrs Leslie (head teacher) presented them all with a dvd which was played and a certificate of achievement. The dvd is amazing me and Cerrie were bleating our eyes out. It was pictures of the whole year 4 pupils throughout their time and they played Miley Cyrus - The Climb over it which made it even more tear jerking. To top it all off a few of the kids started crying as they didn't want to leave. Needless to say Leesco didn't not a single drop. Not a tear. Hard git that she is. Lol!
So today is her last day in little school, I have to say it has been a fantastic school and I think Elise will miss it, however I know she is ready for the next challenge as she is not pushing herself. Hmmm, god I sound like my mam and dad. So now comes seven weeks of jealousy of Dave and Elise being off, bah it's a hard life.
Went over to Cerrie and Mickey's last night just had a quiet night but stayed up late and watched a few episodes of Sex in the City, the old ones, it's fab.
Dave's off to Wooler today after picking Leesco up from school as she finishes half day. He's going to let the piano removal men into his granpa's house as my cousin Leanne is going to have it. Dave used to teach Leanne when she was little (bizarre I know) and he really didn't want his mam to get rid of the piano and we already have one so I asked Leanne if she would like it and she said yes so I think Dave's really pleased that it's not going too far away, keep it in the family and all.
Get weighed today at 1 bell, not too hopefull after last weeks small amount and I was a bit naughty on the alcohol front last weekend but we shall see. At the end of the day I need to keep thinking I would have had that plus lots of food too so I suppose it's a positive regardless.
Going to Ladies day tomorrow, very last minute thing but going with a few girls from work so really looking forward to it. Clare (friend from work) is taking the car so it's ideal not having to worry about getting lifts etc. We're just going in the cheap end this day as we paid £40 for tickets last year and there was no bloody difference so £20 this year, that will do us. :0)
Just back from being weighed and have lost another 3lbs woo hoo. So that's 37lbs in total. Yippee x

Day 69 - 72 Get on your bike!!

Well what can I say about the weekend? It was fab and had a great time BUT drank far too much and feel a bit guilty now. We went to Whitley Bay on Saturday which was really good, stuck to vodka and diet coke all night which I suppose is OK but then went out Sunday as well, and of course it was a case of oh come on we'll go out for dinner so I have my bar followed by a few drinks so feel quite bad about it.
Took yesterday off as knew I wouldn't be sparkling when I woke up which was just as well as I was a little tired shall we say. LOL!!
So, I'm drawing a line under the weekend and going to just plod on, up my water and continue, it could be worse I suppose, I could have stuffed my face with a pizza when I got in. I've decided also as punishment to myself, I'm going to try and start introducing some exercise into my life. I hate exercise and no matter what anyone says it's evil and I just don't enjoy it, but, I've decided I'm going to get my bike out of the shed and go on some bike rides with Elise, she is over the moon as it means she gets to go further on her bike as she's not allowed out the estate on her own. We were meant to be going tonight but Yasmin is at ours for tea and it is peeing down so tomorrow night it will be.
Started shopping for Dave's 40th which is quite exciting but can't say what for in case he reads this. I think he's decided he wants to go to Wooler on his actual birthday and Holly and Nev and a few others are going to come out too. He could change his mind before then though. Oh actually speaking of Mr M he has lost his iphone on Saturday night and is gutted, to be fair he doesn't often lose things but hey ho it's gone. Luckily he is insured so will be able to claim on that but I think it was just a ploy to get the upgraded one. He also broke up today for 7 weeks yep 7 whole bloody weeks, how evil is that. Bah. I suppose it means no housework for me though :0) which is a bonus.

Day 68 - Humph!!!

Well I've been weighed and have only lost 2.5lbs, not really that chuffed with that to be honest as I don't understand why. I haven't done anything different so I'm a bit pissed off. However on the bright side that does take me to 34lbs in total. I think I may have to start and do a bit of exercise next week me thinks. Hopefully if the weather clears up I'll get on my bike and go on some bike rides with Elise :0)
I wouldn't care I even took my pants off to get weighed as they were very wet and the last few weeks I have been weighed in a skirt. What a bummer!!!
On a "lighter" note, had a very productive day at work and tied up lots of bits and pieces that needed doing so pleased about that.
Well hope everyone has a good weekend.

Day 65 - 67 Invites out!

Finally got our invites for our party out today, I printed them off yesterday and packed them up last night so all done and dusted, I wasn't exactly sure what the etiquette was for sending out birthday invites but at least they are out now and it gives people who have to travel plenty time to get sorted.
Well what have I been up to the last couple of days? Not an awful lot really, Elise went for her visit to St Benedicts on Tuesday which she said was good apart from the fact that she had to have stir fry for her dinner which she said wasn't very nice.
Tuesday night she went out with her dad for her grandad's birthday for a meal so by the time she got in she was bust. It was lovely though as Elise was out and Dave went for a long run so I had the house all to myself:0)
Work's been really busy the last few days so the days seem to be flying by. Last night Elise has her little friend Eli over for tea so I made spaghetti bolognese for them all which looked v nice even if I do say so myself. By the time I sorted the invites out it was 9 bells so just got bathed, watched a bit of telly then that was me ready for bed.
Not much to say really on the diet front, all doing fine, still get the odd day where I get a bit sick but hey ho it'll happen. Only 1 month 2 weeks and 5 days until our party woo hoo. I also need to add a meal in 15 days which is pretty scary.
It's Dave's 40th on the 8th of August so we are going to have a night away I think just in Wooler for that then he is having a boys night on the 15th to Morpeth, so loads of things coming up.
So, what's on this weekend? Tomorrow night, me and Dave are having gorgeous little Cerys while Mickey and Cerrie take Elise and Liam to see the new Harry Potter. Saturday morning Elise will be going to her dad's then Holly and Nev are coming down and we're going out with them, Ross and Lewis and his friend. So looking forward to that should be fun.
Ta ta for now. Oh dear, it's just started to rain and I've got washing on the line.
