2 Days after Christmas

I have to say I think I have done well,not had much chocolate eaten proper meals.

I have a few weeks left till I go back to the hospital for my weigh in.

From this day I am eating no more in between my meals.

2008 is going to be my year for improving in fitness and getting to my first goal date in May.

I have been given £30 to spend in Evans so shall keep that to buy something nice in May for my 30th birthday (oh good god its less than 5 months away now.

Also 2008 will be spending as much time with my sweet caring loving guy .

Who has been behind me all the way with this difficult challage.

I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

He is just fantastic I walked loads when I stayed with him and have to say I injoyed every bit of it. Felt really good walking again and to be enjoying it as well.

Tuesday 27th November 2007

Well its been a while since my last update.
I am pleased to write down I have lost 3bls since I last saw my dietitian.
So it works by cutting out the crap inbetween meals.
I am really going to work to lose 4 stone by May then another for our big trip in October.
Not going to rush back into work as my back pain came back while I was going off for interviews in London. Also costing me so much to get to them.
I need all the money I get as need it for the flight to get to friends wedding.
So glad its nearly the end of the year as I want to start 2008 on a high as that is going to be my year.

What I am planing to do in 2008 the year I turn 30.
1, Lose 4 stone by May.
2, Think postive that one day I will get a job that i will feel happy in doing.
3, Lose 4/5 stone by October.

So 2008 is going to be my Year as this year has been pants been one thing after another.

Weigh in day at the hospital

Well not good 6 weeks ago I saw my dietitian and was weighed in at 21 stone.
Now this time I weigh in at 21.8 so I have put on 8lbs.
I am so mad
So we have a plan I am to lose in 6 months between 2 to 3 stone then again in the next 6 months.
She would be happy to see me at 15 stone dress size 16. Which would be fab as we have this huge trip planned and would be great to slip on a really lovely dress for his friends wedding.
So we are seriously going to get this under way. As can not fail I know I can do as I have done it once losing 8lbs in 6 weeks so can do it again. With a little help from my friends.

SO from this day I am changing for the better and nothing is going to stop me acheive the first goal by 5-6 months time.

Monday 12th November 2007

Well a new week.
Have now decided to re join Weight Watchers as I really need to get things moving as I fear I am moveing back up to my old weight before I fell ill.
Going to gym tomo may do a swim.then to Weigth Watchers at 7pm.
My next job interview has been put to Weds due to her daughter faling ill.
I so panicked when my agency rang thought she was going to say they have found someone. I really hope this job being in Berkshire will be the one as its nearer Andy and also I get sep accomodation.

Well not much to add today will add more towards the end of the week.

Day 2

Well today not so bad got to the gym and did a 30 min work out.
Was harder this time I guess its down to the fact I have put on a bit of weight.
So I pushed myself with speed, now feel rather tired.

Well my meeting is still on in London.
Its such an ideal job 2 school aged children one in Secondery school and the other with a year left in Primary School.
The job comes with a flat and car not sure on pay but hey it already sounds fab.
In North London on Hampsted Heath.
So a lovely place to have long walks.

I so hope something comes of this as really feeling tired due to the fact I am not doing a great deal and also I don't want to be out of the nannying field for to much longer.
I know people are saying take your time and get better.
But seriously how can I be off anymore am going mad.

Andy is going to be away from tomorrow and is back Sat and not many other people around.
Think I shall use the time to go swimming and the gym as I see my dietitian in a week.

Not looking forwarded to it I can tell you.

Day 1

Well my first day after the intro of my blog.
I got up early and was in the pool by 09.15.
Swam for an hour and in that hour I did 40 lengths was so pleased I manged to get to 40 as I have been doing about 30 to 35 for a while now.
Was very busy but that was not a problem as that helped me to speed up and do more.

I had a good breakfast just a small bowl of cereal.
For lunch is going to be good with frankfurters and couscous as its so quick and easy to do and pud will be banana and small pot of ambroser custard.
Also juice with that as well no sugar one.

Well I fell really could not really tired considering I was up at 6 am.
But my eyes are not feeling heavy like they would do when I am sitting down.

Need to cont.... with this as winters sets in it will get harder but as long as I feel like I have a lot of energy than I know if I stop and think I can't be bothered then and tiredness kicks in which is what I don't want.

Well thats it for now more tomo.

My life challenges

Well here goes my very first blog.
I thought I would start this to kick start the changes I have to make.
To make sure that I achieve the goals I want to make.
That is starting with my weight I have been ill for nearly a year with Caudi Equina Syndrome caused by working as a nanny and my weight.
I had to undergo major 4 hour surgery to remove my lower lumber disc's which were compressing on my nerves and caused me to be immobile and the use of my bowels were not in use.
I spent 6 weeks in hospital to have the surgery, to get pain under control and learn to walk again. Now I know what it its like for babies learning to walk stand for the very first time. The first time the physio got me up on my feet was amazing I forgot how tall I was.
Then the day for me to leave the hospital which was home for me for 6 weeks.
Was a strange feeling yes I wanted to leave and go home but I felt scared as I knew it was time for me to cope on my own and get myself better with out realign on the fantastic support of my nurses as well of my doctor who thought I would never walk again

Well here I am 8 months on and almost there the only thing now is to lose my weight as this is the one thing I hate now and to lose it to get down to my ideal weight will be great for one for shopping for new clothes but most of all my illness which will mean I have battled through it and the risk of it happening again is a lot less likely as I will be at my ideal weight which I hope is 10 and 12 stone., this time next year.
Well there we are the intro to my blog I will write every day about my progress and how I am finding the huge challenge I now have to face and get through.
