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 hard time doing more than about 45 minutes.

I think I am probably just bored of the elliptical, I might have to switch it up.

Happy days, that 1lb that I gained and hoped would fall straight back of again…did do, along with another 1lb.

This means that for the first time in over 2 months I get to update my trackers! For those not following, that’s not because I have lost no weight in 2 months, I have been losing it really slowly lately but I also got some new scales which added 4lbs to my weight and I wanted to wait until it got back to where I was on the old scales before ‘counting it’ again.

I am rather enjoying being away from my usual routine, eating foods I wouldn’t usually and not working out nearly as much. It’s relaxing.

I am still behaving on my diet, though I did have two chocolate covered pieces of toffee last night at 33 calories each, naughty naughty hehe

I am not enjoying being away from my scales though, it’s been five days now since I weighed myself and that’s probably the longest I have gone without a weigh in in almost 2 years…and it’s still another 4 more days before I am home. Argh

Here’s what I realised yesterday, while I was wearing the size 14 pants I’d not been able to get into last month and slipping on the size 14 coat I haven’t worn in many years - who cares if I am not losing pounds at the moment, I am clearly losing inches. I need to be less obsessed with the pounds, I am sure they will start coming off again eventually.

I also have muscles, on my thighs and arms, for the first time in my entire adult life - which would go to further explain the no loss thing I am sure.

I am going to try and stop worrying about it, and just stick with what I am doing knowing that overall I am becoming healthier, and that’s what counts

Yes yes yes, my new scales now read 11.6…I can now start to actually count the losses again and stop using both scales when I weigh in. Though that’s going to be easier said than done, I used those last night as well because I wanted to see them say 11.4 heh.

Must stop using them.

I am happy for my loss because I am going away for over a week next week and now I won’t feel so crappy if I do gain a few pounds, though hopefully I still won’t

HelicopterAccidentAttorney.com is a great website I happened upon a while ago, while looking up the website for a TV show I love called Accidental Heroes — there was a story on last weeks show involving a helicopter mountain side rescue that amazed me, though terrified me at the same time — it’s one of my biggest fears about taking up hiking and mountaineering as I would like to do to get those pounds shifting again! The websites aim is to educate the general public on helicopter safety and aviation lawyers. They offer articles in an extensive resource center as well as a FAQs section, statistical data and an emergency assistance program!

So apparently I didn’t gain weight after all, I lost weight. Hurrah.

Well, sort of hurrah.

I ‘gained’ 1 pound on Sundays weigh in, but today I ‘lost’ 2 pounds…so overall it’s a 1 pound loss.

The thing is though I can’t count it, because it’s still more than the old scales. I have gotten myself into a right old pickle here haven’t I? I just can’t wait until my new scales say 11.6 and then I can start counting the losses again. I have literally only lost 2 pounds since I have had them any way, but that in addition to not being able to log it makes me feel like I have done nothing for months!

Gotta keep plodding on, gotta keep plodding on.

I am sure I have blogged before about the possible problem impending featuring me and the other half and the plans for our Honeymoon. Here’s a recap for you though…I want to go abroad, he doesn’t. He’s petrified of flying and doesn’t understand why we can’t just go in some where in the UK — bah, men. What bride wants to stay in the boring old UK for her honeymoon, they are meant to be exotic and magical, not just another week in Wales! He really thinks just going to our usual holiday destination in Tenby is acceptable!

I will have to tale to him about maybe getting some anxiety hypnosis, there’s plenty of time left before the wedding for him to do something about this. I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointed I will be if he doesn’t even at least try.

I just heard about something called The Hypnostick™, it’s an affordable 128mb MP3 player that comes full of self hypnosis audio that can help with many of the issues that cause lots of people to go in for hypnotherapy, including sleep problems, stress, weight loss, beating fears and quitting smoking!

Seems pretty useful, he’ll really have no excuse to not at least try it out.

I just heard about the Amadeus Home Music School, they offer high quality private music lessons that can be arranged to happen in your own home at your own convienience. Pretty sweet for parents to arrange for kids, or even for those of us who are interested in learning but a little too shy to put ourselves out there in public.

I have done exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do and at last nights weigh in — I used both sets of scales again…and now, well colour me confused.

I have no idea if I lost weight, gained weight or stayed the same.

Having two different sets of scales on the go is not a good idea!

The old scales now read 11.6, I think they were 11.7 last week but that might have just been a blip because they were 11.6 previously.

The new scales now read 11.8, I think they were 11.9 last week so I think I lost 1lb this week — but who knows? Stupid me lol
