Well, I weighed in yesterday and lost 2lbs - yippee, its finally going the right way!! Just got to try and stay focused and keep going this week as well.
I am also a little fed up at the moment because I was unsuccessful at my job interview - got to start looking again and keep believing that something will come along and it will be perfect for me!! Had a bit of a binge last night but am ready to face the consequences and get on with the week ahead.
On a more cheerful note, I went out to lunch yesterday with my sister and we went to Waggamama's - absolutely lovely food but it beat me and I couldnt finish it. Jo, my sister was even suprised.
Jessica is being okay at the moment even though she still isnt going to sleep when she goes to bed!! She is going up to year 5 at school in September so she is spending the day with them today. She was nervous about it this morning but I am sure she will be okay.
Will be back later

Oh, I hate .....
waiting around for news - went for my 2nd interview today and now have to wait til monday to find out how I got on ..... think it went okay but never feel very confident when it comes to interviews. I am going to be nervous all weekend and I hate it!!
Diet wise, its been okay this week and dont know what the results will be - have already decided if I keep putting on then I will go back to the weightwatchers meetings. The only problem being, it is on a saturday morning so I would have to take Jessica with me.
Jess is doing okay at the moment - she had sports day today and apparently it all went well - my mum, sis and b-i-l went to watch her as I had other things going on as pointed out above.
Going for now but will be back soon

Hello all
Well all in all things are going good - have been managing to stay within my points so far this week and gaining bonus ones as well. I managed to stay the same this week which I am okay about but if I dont have a loss next week, I will be going back to the meetings.
I went to the hospital yesterday and they have decided I need an op on my ear as the antibiotics dont work. I have also been told that I am not allowed to go swimming but the doctor is hoping that he might be able to let me go back to swimming by the end of the year!! Boo hoo, I was so looking forward to being able to swim again!! I am looking into the cost of joining the local gym but dont think I will be able to afford it.
If I get this job on friday, my plan is to get myself a second-hand bike and then cycle to and from work. I have also got to try and teach Jessica to ride a bike as she has now decided she wants to learn!!

Good day today
Have had a really good day point wise - gained 5 from walking Jess to and from brownies .... shes only got 3 weeks left and then she leaves and goes up to guides, oh, how they grow up!!
I was a good girl today and gave away a whole white sack full of crisps to my BIL mainly cause Jess and I dont like them but also because I am determined to have a good week this week - going to get out and walk every day even if it means going for a walk around the park. Tomorrow I shall be walking to my mums and then the hospital and then repeating the journey to get home!!
Going to keep it short tonight but will be back tomorrow

Here I go again .....
Sorry for not being back sooner but life has gotten in the way as per usual!!
The school bbq was good fun and I managed to stay in my points as I hadnt eaten alot during the day ..... still being careful and reducing my points for the rest of this week.
Yesterday was good - stayed within my points and earned some bonus ones - I have decided not to count points for a while and see if I can just replace them with healthy balance meals and snacks, of course being careful what I eat and portion size.
Today hasnt been so good but I have learnt a valuable lesson and that is not to have tubes of pringles in the house - yes you guessed it, I ate the whole tube!!
As you know I went for another job interview this week and was all fed up as I didnt hear anything on friday as they originally said I would, so imagine my suprise when I got an answerphone message today asking me to go to a second interview on friday - only downside is I now have to miss Jessicas sports day but thankfully my sister has agreed to go in my place.
Going for now as feeling quite tired tonight and want to catch some ZZZZs. See you tomorrow

Good day ... not so good point wise
Well had a good day today - spent the day with my mother in town and then went to Jessicas school summer bbq - was good fun. Might have gone a bit OTT on the cakes but also earn a fair few points as well because of lots of walking. I brought a box of cakes home with me as they had so many left over - just got to resist the temptation.
Only a short one today but will be back tomorrow with news on the job I applied for.

Here I go again .....
Well, I've had a great day today - stayed well in my points and managed to earn some bonus points as well.
Went for a job interview and am keeping my fingers crossed that I get good news on friday. The job doesnt start til August but it will be good to know that I have a job to look forward to. I have been put forward for a supervisory role, doing 20 hours a week so exactly what I am looking for!!! Have a couple of others in the pipeline but I shall just keep plodding along trying as many as possible.
Had an absolutely lovely dinner - chicken stuffed with phili extra light wrapped in parma ham with a massive salad!! Yummy....
Jess is being pretty good at the moment - seems to have gone back to a nice girl again, just wish she would learn to go to sleep at a sensible time!! It is 22.13 and she is still awake even though she has been in bed since 21.00!!
My mood - feeling very positive at the moment and finally believe that thinga are turning the corner for the better. Have refocused on my diet and plan to stick to it this time!!
Bye for now and see you tomorrow

Oh dear!
Life is certainly being a testing time for me at the moment. After promising myself that I would track on my birthday and all week, I didnt and as a result havent bothered to weigh-in this week. Seem to be in a vicious circle at the moment, one week being good and then ruining it all and I dont know why!! I have restarted tracking today and am hoping to be able to join a meeting on friday as I think it is the only way I can be successful. Problem is, I dont know if I can afford it - money is very tight at the moment.
No luck on the job front, didnt even hear back about the last job I applied for even though I think it went very well. Got to see Amanda tomorrow, shes my employment advisor - so hopefully she will be able tell where things seem to be going wrong.
Jessica in general is being great but has gone back to taking food in the night and then trying to hide it from me!! I wouldnt worry so much but I dont want her having the same problems with her weight as me. I think she feels she misses out on alot of things because I am always having to make sure that we have enough money for everything else.
I was sitting thinking the other night, that whilst I enjoy being single, it is actually starting to get very lonely and it would be nice to have some company.
I have also come to realise that I need to keep an emotional check on my feelings to see what triggers my over eating or is it just a case of being bored!! Looks like I shall be spending alot more time on here with you.

It's my birthday!!
Another year older but definitely not another year wiser! Yes, as you can see from the title, its my birthday today.
All in all, this last week has been good - 6 days on track and 1 bad day. Weighed in this morning and lost 3lbs - yippee!! Would normally have the day off track today but have decided not to. Dont want to undo all the hard work I have done this week. Feel really focused at the moment and want to keep it that way.
Got a job interview this afternoon, just hope it doesnt prove too difficult to get to - it is the first interview I have had since moving here and it would be nice to start my 37th year with good things to look forward to. It is so strange because even though I have had loads of interviews before, I cant help but feel nervous. I am sure I will be okay once I am there.
Well, off for now but will be back later to let you know how it has gone.

Update!!
Had a fantastic 3 days - managed to stay on track and gain bonus points as well.
Had a very good day today - got a phone call offering me an interview for a job, got my interview on tuesday. Have managed to get a lift there and back and if I get the job, I am going to get my bike fixed and cycle too and from work every day. The hours are great and it means I wouldnt have to put Jessica into childcare. Fingers crossed!!
Jess is having terrible mood swings at the moment, one minute happy, the next a stroppy little whatsit!!
We are going to the cinema on saturday morning to watch 'Alice in Wonderland' as its the film I have been waiting for to come out.
Going, going, gone!!

Yet another restart
Yes as you can see from the title above, yet another restart after 3 months of mucking about - good days and then bad ones (bad ones lasting longer than the good ones!!) Have decided that I need to keep a firmer track on the way I am feeling and see if this appears different depending on my mood.
Had a fab day today point wise and managed to earn some activity points. My menu from today is as follows:
60g multigrain hoops - 3.5
1/2pt skim milk - 0.5
canderel - 0
boots shapers wrap - 4
500ml diet cherry - 0
onion bagel - 3
spag in tom sauce - 3.5
2 tsp 1/2-fat butter - 1
1 meringue nest - 0.5
mullerlight s/berry - 1.5
strawberries - 1
blueberries - 1
muffin - 2.5
2tsp nutella - 1
1 small banana - 1
8 drinks - 0
TOTAL: 24.5/30
I know I need to up my fruit and vegetables but that isnt a problem for me as I love almost all of them.
Going for now but will be back tomorrow, no matter what happens
