Day 41 – Tuesday 6 April 2010

Hey – I actually managed to make it all through Easter with no cheating on the diet.  It comes as quite a surprise to me how dedicated I am to losing my weight now.  I know I’m not gonna win the competition as there are loads of ladies who have already lost more but I feel so positive because I’ve got my head round everything and I actually just want to lose weight for myself to feel better.  Good eh?  Well,  went for my weigh in this morning and was absolutely astounded because I’ve lost another 1.7kg or 3.7lb.  That takes my total weight loss to 18.7lbs now and I’m so happy I could cry, yipeeee.  Had a fab day at Gullivers with Pete and the kids – my shakes are very portable whilst they all tuck into a picnic and chips ha ha.

Day 42 – Wednesday 7 April 2010

Back to reality and work this morning ;0(.  Still on a high though from yesterday’s weigh in.  All the other girls are also doing so well it’s amazing.  I’m still waiting for a disappointing week though as I’m sure it will happen sooner or later.  Did my interview with Peak FM again today and was a giggling wreck as usual – bet they get sick of hearing me!

Day 43 – Thursday 8 April 2010

Well, what can I say about today?  Unfortunately I had to attend a funeral at work but on the positive side I actually wore my PL trousers.  These I affectionately refer to as my “Pre-Lily” trousers.  I got them on, EASILY, and they were COMFORTABLE.  What a result – I’m so pleased.  My jeans are literally falling off me but I’ve not got the confidence to buy my longed for skinny jeans yet.  So I’m back easily into size 14 now which is mainly what I wanted.  I know I’m never gonna be a skinny Minnie and I’ve already achieved my old trouser fit – but now I want more!  Gonna carry on with the Celeb Slim for a bit longer I think after the 8 weeks until I’ve reached my 2 stone goal – that is another 9.3lbs to be precise.  I would be really, really, really over the moon if I could reach that.  I’m really worried about the finale in Bolton as I really am lost at what to wear – I still don’t have much confidence and just don’t know what suits me – I could do with GOK to come and help me out PLEASSSEEEE.

Day 44 – Friday

Day off today and spending it with Ben whilst Lily at nursery.  Ben got to choose what he wanted to do and he chose swimming! Yey, we had a great time as they had all sorts of floats n stuff in the pool.  Was shattered when we got out as I spent 90 minutes chasing him, pulling him around on huge floats or swimming underwater with him.  Feel like I’ve had a work out too.  Am anxious about the weekend as it’s Lily’s 2^nd Birthday on Sunday and we are having around 20 people for a little tea party.  My bro and family are coming tomorrow and all we usually do is eat and drink.  Will just have to carry on with my willpower.  Don’t want to spoil myself now eh?

Day 45 – Saturday 10 April 2010

Am still doing my yoga most mornings which I kind of rely on now for the energy burst it gives me for the day.  Lily’s birthday tomorrow and feel happy now I’ve got most stuff sorted for her big day.  Just need to keep focused and not stray with all the scrummy goodies have got for everyone else.

Day 46 – Sunday 11 April 2010

Happy 2^nd Birthday Lily.  Had a fab day today.  Lots of family and friends round this afternoon and had a bar-b-q with the weather being so nice.  Had a few drinks to celebrate Lily’s birthday but not too many (maybe one or 2 more than I should tut tut).  Didn’t stray from my diet though.  Kept focussed and only ate what I had planned to so feeling good still.

Day 47 – Monday 12 April 2010 – WEIGH IN DAY

Got up and went swimming early this morning – feel much better for it.  Think I will only be able to get the once this week though with it still being school holidays but never mind.  Will do some extra exercise at home instead.  Went for my weigh in this morning and lost another 1.1kg or 2.4lbs – really, really pleased.  That takes my total to 9.6kg or 21.1lbs or 1 and a half stone (just over) now – not that I’m counting or anything.  Lots of people are starting to comment now on how I’m looking for losing the weight which is a real boost – just sat here wondering what they thought of me before ………………. anyway …………!

Till next week …….Luv Karen xxx
