I am exhausted
Work is just not even funny at the moment. We are constantly under pressure, we have ambulances queuing out the door some days and saw nearly a thousand people more than predicted last month. The stress is unbelievable, twice in the last week I have finished late and had no break. Added in I was a patient in my own…

Some NSVs (and SVs)
As of this week -I weigh less than my husband. As wennim has said it doesnt feel like I should celebrate it because I should never have been bigger than him but since I was its good to not be in that place anymore. -My wedding ring fits. Not the one I wore the day I got married, or the one he bought me when I got to my…

How are you surviving the festive period
And what are your weight goals? For me I have been trying to lose 50lb by christmas day. Ive currently got 4.5lb left to go and *counts* 11 days. So Im cutting it fine (probably wont make it if I am honest) but have struggled this week due to TOM and hoping to drop some water weight next week. That said if I dont I will be…

I'm comfort eating
And resolutely unapologetic for it I made a 7 hour round trip today to see my nan. And I think its the last time I will see her. When I said goodbye I actually said Goodbye and told her I loved her and she got very teary. My nan never cries. My heart is actually breaking Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

Finally getting somewhere
Part of my frustration when I train comes from being so heavy I limit what I can do. But Ive been doing a lot of calisthenics at my new gym including walking up the wall til I am suspended upside down from the parallel bar and holding myself there as long as I can and I think its finally paying off. Tonight doing tricep…

Really f*cking grumpy today
Been on a course all day, got home and phoned my courier and its another day before my phone will turn up despite being told yesterday it would be here today. So will be sunday before I can actually use it. We still have no heating and hot water and our landlord is only 'considering' a new boiler despite being told ours is…

I think I might be whooshing
Been a slow 12 days, last week I lost 0.5lb. This week I was weighing more or the same til friday then I dropped 2lb in 2 days and I have NOT stopped PEEING for 2 days now. Wondering if theres a whoosh in the offing this week. 2.5lb would be lovely. Ive just bust 3 stone and 2.5 more lb would drop my BMI below 40

On not giving up
My 3yo struggles to get her feet up when shes on the parallel bars. Shes bottom heavy like her mama. But she doesnt give up. Shes also not sure of heights but walked the high beam on her own today and with help from her teacher jumped the big jump. Shes showed me today persistence pays off. Just my thought for the day

Yesterday I was meant to get back on plan but xmas shopping meant the day got away from me and ended up eating nachos at the cinema in the evening after a burger for lunch. But today I seem to have recommitted, Ive been and done my shop and planned the rest of my week. I am craving crap badly but I know its cos Ive eaten…

Frustrating weekend
Saw GP friday and he thinks my depression is creeping back in but query whether its S.A.D or just another bout of general depression. Problem is Im maxed out on the AD im on (mirtazipine) and Ive refused to go back on the other one they use to augment it (olanzapine) as Ive lost 3stone since coming off it so he doesnt know…

AH *kitten*
Was contemplating a rest day from gym today but decided to go with my buddy, do some bag work during her abs class then do some leg work. So had done about 27 mins on the heavy bag, punches and kicks and had set myself to do a final 3 minute round before starting the weights. Threw a jab and cross then roundhoused the bag…

Everyone has a story
Met a lady at work today. She was a larger lady. I'd have guesstimated her at 300-320. Hadnt come in for anything major but I was on triage so was chatting to her as I entered her details on the computer and she revealed she had lost 12 stone in the last 2 years. My mind was blown and as she left I wished her luck with her…

Cant face it tonight
Was meant to go to gym with 2 friends and both have dropped out, one with an ear infection, one with a headache. I just cant make myself drive to the gym in the dark to train on my own tonight. Will have to have a bowl of cereal for tea to keep me under cals :/

Its not really weight related but...
My 3yo got her 2nd proficiency badge at gym today so am indulging in a proud mummy moment

Theres a few life stresses going on atm, job, personal etc. I am determined though not to stop the exercise or diet. Set myself some PBs in the gym tonight and…

Mini Goals?

November 7th 2014
Something is very wrong in badgerland. Yesterday had a hankering for a cherry coke. It's a rare thing I drink fizzy now except fizzy water. Opened the can and drank half then binned it. Really didn't fancy the rest. Today I'm.Working out twice so knew I'd be eating about 1750 calories and could afford a treat so I bought a…

Are all calories created equal
Have been trying to up my protein and have really noticed I am much fuller and less hungry between meals. But though I have been using a lot of turkey and chicken I've noticed the things I really like that are protein rich like eggs, cheese, seeds, nuts, nut butter are all higher in fat. So my aim was 40-30-30…

Week 2 lifting
So slowly segueing into the free weights. My PT has now taught me deadlifts, bench press and shoulder press. This week worked my way up from the bar to 3 sets of 3 at 60kg deadlifts. And tonight working out with a friend worked up from the bar to 2 reps at 47.5kg bench and 2 at 32.5kg shoulders. Bizarrely proud of myself.…

Ended up with cheese toasties…

2.5 stone down
I created a couple of collages tonight. I dont have many photos of me at my biggest as I just avoided having any taken but I did what I could with the few I had. Thought I'd post them here as I can just start to see a change in my face but not so much in my body

This weekend
I'm visiting my best friend up north. I can't wait as we haven't seen each other in a year and it's really.tough living.so far away from.your bestie. But.I admit.to a little anxiety about food. I'm fairly certain we will drink and possibly have a take out and I feel a little edgy not having the control over my.diet I…

How long
When you all started lifting how long did you find it took you all to start being able to put on more weight and how long to what you lift now? I started learning heavy weights with my PT last week. I learned deadlifts, last week on first go did 20 then 30 then 40kg. This week I went up through the weights but did 3 sets…

Did this tonight
Made a couple of collages Thinking of doing one every 14lb or so and hoping I might eventually see a difference
