It's official!...

...I am now a UK size 8!! I have never owned any size 8 clothes in my entire life. I went from age 14 clothes to size 12. Today I bought a lovely size 8 top (it was in the sale) and I fully expected to get stuck trying it on (I have horrible memories of bawling my eyes out in changing rooms) but much to my surprise it fit quite nicely!

Over the past few weeks I've been getting into a rut with my food and exercise. My weight has maintained in the low 130's but now I feel its time to kick start it into the 120's!! I've increased my calorie burning to 800 on the bike and I'm contemplating buying some diet pills (I've been reading about green coffee and it sounds intriguing!). I've always been against diet pills...as far as I was concerned the only pounds they helped you lose were the ones in your purse. I figure a month is long enough to test the pills...if they're no good then I wont bother with them!

I note that my blog has been viewed 25 times. I'm guessing that 24 of those times were me. Oh well...I find it therapeutic to have a place where I can park all my thoughts. I've had a bit of stressed out week but thankfully I seem to have calmed down a bit now!!

Btw - the pup put on 4 pounds in ONE week!!! I really dont know how something so small can eat so much!!

Paranoia-cha-cha-cha..

I really do my own head in sometimes. If there is the tiniest doubt in my mind that something could go wrong then my brain wont stop worrying! For example, over the weekend I had convinced myself that I was pregnant. I woke up at 3am Sunday morning and had this horrid burst of fear flood through me, and even though my rational self tried to reason with my paranoid side, I still didnt get back to sleep. I think I must have missed the "laid back" class at school!!

Tonight I have made up for my lack of exercise over the last couple of days and burnt 816 cals on the exercise bike. I hope it makes a difference on the scales tomorrow because I'm fed up of the same red numbers glaring back at me. I know I should be pleased with 132.2 but this time last week I was 131.8!

One of my colleagues asked me today when I was going to stop losing weight. I said "when I no longer look like a sack of sh!t in a swimsuit"...I'm getting really fed up of people telling me I don't want to be skinny. Erm, YES...yes I do thank you. Please don't speak for the thin person inside of me who hasnt been seen since 1992. Why is it ok for other people to be thin but not me? Why can't I at least find out for myself whether I'm happy at 105lbs or not? I mean hey - if its as terrible as they make it sound then I'll eat cake! Then everyones a winner!!

Puppy love

I haven't posted much over the last week because a) there hasnt been much to report and b) we had a new puppy on Monday so I've been preoccupied with the fluffy bundle of joy!

I haven't done much exercise either this week (I had planned to do loads but spent my time throwing a ball around the kitchen instead lol)..having said that though, my weight seems to have stablised in the low 130's.

I was reading the pups menu for the day and calculated he probably eats more than I do!

Milk for breakfast, scrambled egg & yoghurt for a mid-morning snack, meat for his lunch, more milk with a rusk for an afternoon snack then more meat with a ryvita for his supper. And he wolfs it down, I dont know where his tiny belly puts it all!! Compare that with my yoghurt for breakfast, cupasoup for dinner, apple for a snack and chicken for supper. Think I'll stick with my diet lol!
