I love Wales

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I love going to Wales on holiday, it’s absolutely my favourite place in the UK to visit. When ever it is possible my other half and I like to go to South Wales, to the Pembrokshire area — but that is a very long way from where we are, so when we only have the [...]

No loss No gain

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Just had my big Sunday weigh in and my weight is the same — I am a little disappointed because I really got back into the working out this week and was kinda hopeful for a little loss. But that’s OK, I would rather be steady than gain a few pounds again like I did [...]

Going on a short trip in December!

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Woo, I just found out my fiance has booked us a night away in York the week before Christmas, we’re going to go shopping. Isn’t he lovely? Ok so it’s not a nice exotic getaway to somewhere like Mexico, it’ll be cold, wet and miserable in York in December no doubt, but it’s a cheap [...]

Home made onion bahjis

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I’m not much of a cook, in fact…I am not a cook at all. The less time in the kitchen the better! I am terrible at it and I don’t enjoy it, but today I did some cooking — I made some healthy onion bahjis, I absolutely love them and have been eating them a [...]

Panic over!

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

It looks like I was right to stay calm and fight the urge to freak out at my 2lb gain. I weighed myself last night and it was gone again, I was right back to 11.7 where I should be. Phew. I don’t know if it was water weight, dodgy scales or I’d just eaten [...]

If it seems too good to be true…

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Oh crap, I just weighed in and I gained 2lbs, that puts me right back at 11.9! I am trying so hard not to freak out about it, I am due my womanly moment any time now, and it’s not uncommon for me to gain a little at that time — but I also don’t [...]

That’ll teach me to blog before weighing in

Friday, August 29th, 2008

*Points to stats in side bar* I posted my last entry before I had weighed in for my mid week weigh in, just assuming I wouldn’t have lost – well I did, I lost 2lbs! I actually weighed myself 3 or 4 times because I couldn’t quite believe it, I thought the scale must be [...]

Weigh in result

Monday, August 25th, 2008

*Sigh* No loss again. This is really becoming tiresome now. I am not going to get down about it though, you always have to keep on keeping on when it comes to weight loss, right? Next week I am going to follow my Zig Zag plan 100% to the letter, or to the calorie even [...]

Great American SeaFood Cook Off

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Seafood – YUM. Seriously, it’s delicious and generally healthy – salmon is my absolute favourite fish, I have it once a fortnight as a treat…it tastes real good and coupled with some pasta makes a really scrummy meal. Plus I am forever snacking on crab sticks and the like. I love getting local produce whenever [...]

New fancy pants scales on the way!

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

I just ordered these scales from Tesco! They cost £30, which is a hella lot of money for some scales and I worry I will become obsessed with them and start weighing myself several times per day haha. But I think they’ll be worth it, my current scales are generally great but they can be [...]
