Easter Monday

Neil did the grass yesterday, I raked up some grass just now. Pika is having a good time in the sunshine!

Am not eating now until after I get weighed at 6:30pm. It’s now 1:30pm. Daft I know, but makes me feel better! I am really hoping I have not gained this week. All I want is to lose a pound each week on the way to a healthier, slimmer me.
I go to see the ‘shoulder’ Consultant on Thursday, hoping to get listed to get my left shoulder op done.

Got a pair of jeans from my friend Jaki’ s mum. They are a size 16 and fit nicely but are a bit too long. I never get jeans to fit me properly as a rule. Feel good in these ones though.
Going to do a bit more painting in the hall later, honest!

Slimmer days and fatter days

Here are a few fatter days (over the years)

And here are a few slimmer days over the years

I think it’s time I moved on and got rid of this extra weight now!!!!!!

Still on the soups! ?

Ahhh the relief when the painkillers kick-in. Seeing dentist tomorrow.
Been doing salt water mouth rinsed which is yucky for me as I can’t stand salt. I never ever use it in cooking, never have.
Had chicken roll for lunch, soft roll. Soggy cornflakes for tea and a ham sandwich in evening, not exactly a balanced diet.
Got a sparkly dress from eBay, felt quite lovely in it. The photo’s though………….oh my goodness, how to look short round FAT and flabby in one go.
Years ago, ok a decade ago. I was at my heaviest of 12 stone. Felt enormous. Felt awful.
I am only 11 lbs below my heaviest ever weight now. Weirdly I don’t feel as big as back then but I certainly look it.
It wasn’t until I got nearer 10 st that I started to feel better.

I am determined to get healthier, fitter and slimmer again.

As in the 3 photos above, all taken round 2003/4.

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.

More pics of a by-gone age (ie, me slimmer circa 2004)

I will get slimmer.
