1st Week- Insomnia more like Insane

It's been crazy I have edited the diet to suit me... I know  I know I need to tighten my belt and fix up.
Week 2 will be no stories as I know I can do it.
Couple of things that have freaked me out:
  • Making the kids food and actually feeling the need to snatch their plates and eat it by myself. My kids are 4 and 5 I've had to make them scrape their left overs into the bin and put it straight into the soapy water to resist temptation.
  • I am working out with the diet which isn't really advisable due to the calorie intake being so low and the fact that it might open my appetite. Guess what happens I feel queezy and light headed  as well as moody and drained so I had a chicken breast fillet (I know I'm naughty).
  • I'm suffering from insomnia I'm up at 2am, 4am and finally 6:15am AAAARRRGGGHHHH but when I do wake up I have a glass of water as I'm supposed to drink 4ltrs a day.
Well this is just the first week and I had things that I'm not supposed to this week has to be better than the last.

Finally
I have weighed myself AANNNND  I'm 6lbs lighter WHOOP WHOOP

Roll on week 2 and see you next week X

DOOMS DAY- AM I MAD
The journey has begun......
Yesterday morning was spent day dreaming on what my last meal would be especially the dessert part.
I wanted to go out and do the food shopping but I thought the aim is to empty out the fridge and not add more stuff that can tempt you later (catch my drift)


Yesterdays menu was:
Breakfast- Boiled egg with toast 
Lunch- Pretty non existent Sainsburys sweet and salt Popcorn
Dinner- Lamb, mint sauce, mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Dessert- I had trifle and a magnum almond 


The Ideal Menu
Breakfast- Ackee and Saltfish with Fried Dumpling
Lunch- Duck and watermelon salad 
Dinner- Sadza, Green, T-bone Steak
Dessert- Toffee Banana with Vanilla Ice cream


Todays Menu-   Another Matter
 Breakfast- Strawberry milk shake (After the gym)
Lunch- Apple and Cinnamon Porridge
Dinner-Chocolate shake


The only thing is temptation is a BEEEP! I had to make my kids some fried dumpling and soup and for some reason the fat/oil smelt really nice. But I just thought it isn't worth it continue T.
This is what my life will be for the next couple of weeks.....


Have a good evening peeps X X 
Remember "By any means" do what you have to do.....

Hibernation


Hello 
I know I'm talking to myself right now but it's most probably for the best until I'm ready to put myself out there.


Right- I like clothes but the most frustrating thing is I know that I'm limiting myself. There are only so many size 16 clothes that really look good even though I'm happy the option is there! Some things are just made for slim and slender people.


Employment- I've always worked in fashion even before I got my NI number. I've worked for fashion houses and high st retailers. Wherever I've worked I been fortunate enough to be given samples. Guess what the problem is most of them have been size 14,12,10. They were supposed to be my motivation to loose weight instead they hibernate in my wardrobe.


Some of my Samples
My first aim is to fit this dress               
Whistles Size 14               Dress 2                        Dress 2a
                      




Eye- I'd like to think that I have a very good eye for selecting timeless pieces when it come to clothing (honestly I'm not self absorbed). The clothes that I do have maybe 2 seasons out but I do believe they will look good when I can fit them and make them look good........


SS11- will be a scorcher this year I forgot to add I have a moped which I currently feel like I'm a circus act when I'm on it!  So I will be on it this summer slim and slender as I've already got the jacket  size 12 LOL I love suppliers!



Take care reader remember "by any means" try to achieve your goal for 2011 and aim to maintain it for the rest of your life X 


Have a good weekend

1st Obsticle

What the hell am I doing!
Focus, focus, focus, focus. I'm currently a size 16 and I want to be 10/12 and "by any means" I'm going to get there. I have 11months till I turn 30 and 5 months till I'm in sunny Grenada for the Regatta.

Question: What am I doing about it?
I'm not looking at the past today 17th February I am eating healthy and working out, then as of 21st February I doing the Cambridge Diet. I have no more stories or excuses this is all about me.
