Ohhh gum ache.

Feeling sorry for myself as my gum is so painful. Simply have to go back to dentist Monday or Tuesday, can’t keep taking painkillers.
Neil hopped on scales this morning and weighed same as last week, 21 st 11 lbs.
I avoided them!!!!
Sat in my sister’s earlier today and we both had a good moan about not losing weight. Over many years we have both struggled to lose lbs. Funnily enough we both have pretty skinny legs and arms and carry all the weight around the middle. All well and good having skinny legs but not when you resemble a ball on legs!!!

Family meals

How come we are sitting here arguing about what is a good ‘diet’? Though we do all agree, we need to plan our meals more. We are all trying to lose weight yet none of us are being particularly successful. Also does not help that we all live a sedentary lifestyle. R barely goes out of the house, same for Neil. J will make more of an effort and go for walks. I work 5 days a week and have been walking to and from work.
I enjoyed my walk to work this morning, Sun shining, listening to my music as I walked (Busted, Weezer, McFly, Avril Lavigne, Paramore).

Was meant to go on a picnic in the afternoon, it got cancelled.
Had a meeting at R’ s school. Far too hot to sit in a classroom.
Watching Bitchin Kitchen – brilliant and funny.
Well, aiming to walk to work tomorrow as long as I don’t oversleep.

No more donuts!!!!!!!

No more wine!!!!

No more sitting on my butt!!!!

Skinny lattes are ok I say!!!!!

Feeling good

Had super healthy lunch in work, ham salad and an Apple. Walked home from work in my summer dress, one that I don’t feel too fat in. Got changed outta my uniform in work. Gosh our uniform is hot ( as in makes you feel boiling hot), that and wearing clunky black work shoes n socks……..phew.
Enjoyed my walk home even though was sunny and hot.
Yes we seem to be having a heatwave type thing going on.

Neil had healthy tea cooked fir me when I got home, yummy beef stir-fry with lots of veggies. DID have bowl of cornflakes with skim milk after, hooked on cornflakes.
Unfortunately did not make use of nice weather after tea as fell asleep till 10pm……..ooooops.
