Not looking forward to the next weigh in

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I have had a terrible week, in terms of my healthy lifestyle — I have an awful feeling I am about to have a pretty significant gain for the first time in a long time.
I am pre menstrual, full of cold, busy as heck and have had a migraine the last few days.
I have not [...]

No such thing as cheating

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

There’s no right or wrong way to eat. Healthy eating is all about motivation, balance, and flexibility. There will be times when you eat a high-fat meal or eat beyond fullness, or when your schedule gets so busy that you miss a work- out. This happens. It’s normal. But it’s very important that you don’t [...]

I need a TV stand now

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

I have been thinking of getting a bigger telly for a while, mine is a lame little 15″ CRT. I don’t need a massive one, was just thinking 22″ – 26″ and I have been searching around for a hot deal on one for a few weeks.
Well last night my dad emerged from his loft [...]

ExtraPounds.com

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

ExtraPounds.com was the first weight loss community that I discovered online about a year and a half ago. I saw a friend mention it on a forum some where and went to check it out and decided to register, this was before I even really knew what a calorie was…never mind how many I was [...]

From fat to thin in 30 seconds.

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I have mentioned before that I frequent quite a few community weight loss sites, such as caloriecount.about.com and extrapounds.com – and I have seen people posting images of ‘virtual’ thems…I always wanted to try it, because one of my problems is that I don’t think I see myself as I really am – I am [...]

Wedding blues

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I have been invited to a wedding, that means shopping for something to wear. Ugh.
Most women would probably enjoy this but not me, I hate having to look ‘nice’ – as odd as that sounds, I just always feel out of place at weddings and the like – like people are looking at me thinking [...]

Fancy trying the flat belly diet?

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

So here’s what I worked out on my last shopping trip, I need to do something about my belly!
I think running and using the cross trainer has done wonders for my bottom half…my bum and thighs are starting to look really trim, but my big fat belly remains…well, big and fat!
Flat Belly Diet from the [...]

Another pound down

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I lost another pound, oh happy days.
I think I have just been lucky though, and it’s a result of the shock to my body, because work out wise I am really struggling to get back into it — I have already skipped a few days since I have been home and I am having a [...]

Heard of Akoya pearls?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

No? Me either to be honest. Not until a while ago at least when I came across some information on them while searching for some jewelry for my mums coming birthday.
So what are Akoya pearls? They are gorgeously high quality pearls that come from Japan with unsurpassable luster and surface quality, these are the sort [...]

New size 14 skinny jeans…

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

…I don’t actually feel the need to say more than just the title, that says it all.
But I suppose I should.
Today I went shopping and I came home with a pair of size 14 falmer skinny jeans. The fact I can wear skinny jeans at all is amazing, the fact they are a size 14 [...]
