09/01/09 Day Two and pay day
Well was very naughty last night considering i'm not actually on a diet a whole packet of fox's very nice biscuits and 5 or 6 small packets of mini cheddars. As i said not officially on a diet but am supposed to be cutting out the rubbish.
today has already been one of those days have just checked my scooter mot to find out it ran out in November why i thought it was due the same time as the tax i don't know, my shoe lace broke and on a more serious note my blood pressure is high most likely due to my weight, i having some blood tests to check my liver and kidney functions as well as cholesterol.
This is enough i have had two shredded wheat with semi skimmed milk no sugar its time to get serious.

Where Has The last Year Gone
Looking on my blog its been over a year since i planned to restart my weight loss journey. During this time i have put more weight on, and I'm now weighing in at over 21 Stone.
I'm planning on exercising more with the aid of the wii fit board, i could do it without but i guess it makes it more fun.
Im also planning on trying the Gi diet with the help of tesco's online diet its £2.99 a week but thats chaeper than slimming world and weight watchers.
well heres to 2009 and starting the journey again.

06th March 2008 - Day Three
Two days down and on to day three, have a feeling today is going to be the worst, ketosis mouth and a headache to start with.
I guess i should be pleased, I didnt sleep too well last was up for the loo a couple of times, sitting down to my first glass of water of the day and a black coffee along with 2 paractemol.
Unfortunatley im on the same shift at work today so i dont start till 4.30pm so lots of sitting around again today, i might have to resort to doing some housework.

Past and present
Day One 29th april 2007
Well I have started on the Cambridge Diet
Had a shake first thing (toffee and walnut) whch wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, although seemed to keep the taste in my mouth for ages.
Had my second shake about an hour ago (Chocolate) which was very yummy, having been steadily drinking glasses of water and i had a cup of black tea earlier with tablet sweetners.
Later on im going to have my first cambridge diet soup (Broccoli and Cheese) and to finish off the day my last shake of the day (Vanilla).
Havnt really felt hungry today yet although do get a twinge everytime i go in to the kitchen, i have lost count the times i have had to go the bathroom already today
feeling fairly mellow although i did get very cross earlier as my neigbours are in the garden having a BBQ using my BBQ and they didnt ask first, and although the garden is communal its me who went and brought a lawn mower, strimmer and the plants etc and its me who looks after the garden GRRRRR.
I think they have got the messsage about using my BBQ in future.
As of starting today i weigh 17 stone 11lbs im looking to get down to just above my ideal weight of 14 stone and a healthy BMI of 25, trouser size 42/44 at the moment hoping to get down to a 36.
Day One 04 March 2008
Well that was just under a year ago and here i am again day one of cambridge, for me this time i weigh almost 20 stone and im looking to lose 5 stone still in time for the summer when the kids come stay.My first shake is most likly going to be mint choc chip with a soup later chicken and veg a tetra for work chocolate and another shake strawberry before bed. Im know there have neen new flavours introduced but to be honest dont what they are yet.Since then i have found a girl friend, moved in to a house together, got engaged, set a date ( the next blue moon) and most importantly got my head together, now is the time to shift the weight more so than last year, my knees are giving me constant pain from the extra pressure of the weight ,im getting pains in my calf muscles and my clothes do not fit.My goal to lose 5 stone to lose 8 inches off my waist and my clothes to fit.

25th January - Motivation Zero
One of those weeks i have to say, No weigh in for me last night as i was working.
Motivation ZERO.
I am going to stick to the sliming world plan for the next week. But to be honest if i feel the same way this time next week im going back on to cambridge which i know is a lot harder to stick to and a much harsher regime but i got results last time.

Day Two Slimming World Blown It All Away........
Big oppps Started the day off badly continued that way.
As my 125scooter is in for repair my dearest oh kindly agreed to take me down to the train sattion for the 5.28am train. I had no sooner got on said train when i realised i had left my pass either at home or it had fallen out in my coat into the car, so a very quick exit from the train and a couple of frantic phone calls my darling drove back from home to the train station all at 05.40ish am.
Fortunatley my pass was in the back of the car, so after 45 mins wait for the next train on my way merrily up to leicester to see the kids.
Before i left home i had 2 weetabix with milk, I had a couple of coffees on the train and some still flavoured water no sugar.
When i met the kids we went to one of the local pubs that has a play area for a treat for my daughters birthday which is monday.
I had allready decided i was having a red day so had rump steak topped with stilton (3syns but worth it) mushrooms and peas and a jacket potato so far so good.....and then for the pudding a very nice slice of chocolate birthday cake (6.5 syns) not so bad but i had another peice on the way home ooops, there is worse to come.
When i got back to waterloo i popped into m&s to get something for the rumbly tum picked up some ham (Free) bananas which i had one a couple of fruit smoothies very nice 150g of balckberries and the bigest mistake of the day i also brought a pack of mixed nuts of which i have eaten half , a very big no no no NO.... 1,5 syns per walnut half alone. so today is totally blown Back to it tommorow.

Well today is the day, my first sw meeting this evening along with my oh (newbeginnings).
I must admit i bit worried still that i am actually going to be able to stick to the plan IE red day green free foods seems to complicated by half but i guess i will get there or go back to CD.
I'm going to give SW a months trial and take it from there still looking to lose about 4 stone but guess i will decide that once i have got on the dreaded scales.

01 January 2008 - A New Year Message
Well I guess I should start by saying Happy new year to all.
And to many the first day of your journey to slimdom. Whether your planning on following weight watchers, slimming world, cambridge, lighter life, IE, Judd, atkins or just going to cut out the naughty things.
My own journey back to slimdom starts in few days time, why am i not starting today well in a way i guess i am, chocolate and crisps are out of bounds as of now as is the coke, instead i am going to have breakfast every morning drink less coffee, and get well and truly stuck in, in the next few days.
To all I wish A Very Happy New Year and good luck on your journey in 2008.

Day 1 of what i hope will become my new journal to slimness,
I awoke with good intentions to settle down with a cup of coffee and then have a bowl of cornflakes and then be good for the rest of the day, 4 satsumas later and a handfull of quality street, maybe this isnt going to be the case.
I have decided that im definatley going to give slimming world a chance, i dont think i could go back to ss on cambridge at the moment.
Action is definatley needed i can hardly fit into any of my work clothes, think this is going to be harder than i thought.

28th December 2007
Thankfully Xmas is over i had the kids over xmas which was wonderfull, the only spoiler to xmas was my feeling of overweightness, as per my precious post im at the heaviest i have ever been, Clothes dont fit me and i feel fat and look fat.
I have decided im going to do something about it again, the question is what diet having had brilliant results with the cambridge diet in the summer im inclined to go back to that, but there is the cost approx £40 per week but no extras, or Slimming world £5 per week plus food and the temptation to eat more than i should....
Only another week for me to decide however im cutting down on what im eating just a couple of bowls of cerial a day plus a light meal and some fruit and as much as i detest it coffee with sweetner again.

Well after the elation of weighing myself yesterday to findim over half way and i have lost two stone, I have somewhat blown the plot.
I havnt been feeling too good genenerally over the last few days i have been feeling light headed and have had little strength.
On the plus side people who i havnt seem have noticed the weight loss, my clothes are loooser and i inside i have been feeling better in myself, untill yesterday.
I had worked a train up to London and was walking to take a break as usual walked [ast the usual shops and stopped and got my self a warm sauasage roll which i promptly ate, i didnt feel guilty i didnt think oh well theres a nother 4 days of ss down the drain i didnt think anything.
Later when i got home i went kiting and the less said about that the better, i got off the bus and walked over to the shop and picked up a pack of 3 chocolate muffins and 3 packs of wheat crunchies which agian i promptly ate, nust admit i did feel a bit sick, but agin not a thought to the diet.
I got up this morning went to work took my shakes thinking well yesterday was yesterday we all fall down every now and again. The shakes are still in my work bag i have had 2 cheeese and ham rolls at work, im not even going to bother with my shakes today, i going to have some chicken and vegetables for my tea and start fresh tommorow.
Feelings of remorse. Determination to get to 15 stone 110%

08 June 2007 - Two Stone Gone Forever
As of this morning my weight is 15st 11lb 2 oz, in the last 6 weeks i have lost two stone in weight, this includes a week when i ate and the 3 or 4 times that i have cheated .
Over the last few days i have been feeling slightly light headed i think this is due to the fact that i havnt been spacing out my packs very well, due to the shifts i have been working, so I must ttry today to space the,a bit better.
Other than that all is well only a few more days untill im off on Tuesday and Wednesday im looking forward to getting out with the kites again.
