This and That..

Mondays are weigh in day ~ a day where I dread stepping on the scales each week ~ especially after last week when I lost a total of NO pounds and was a little bit fed up with the whole process of diet, fitness and trying to resist the temptation of bottles of wine and family sized bars of chocolate!! This week I am pleased to report that I lost 4 pounds ~ the extra power walking and killing myself doing a fitness DVD every night has obviously paid off this week. I have now lost 39 pounds and need to lose another 3 to reach the 3 stone mark!! Please note that I still need to lose at least another 3 stone to get where I want to be ~ whether I will make it there ~ I don't know ~ I am pretty determined ~ so I will keep going ~ 3 down and 3 to go still !!!! (I hate looking at it that way ~ I still have the same to lose again and this first 3 stone have been HARD!!). From now onwards I will be getting weighed on a Wednesday and the next weigh in is 23rd July ~ so I am hoping that 3 pounds will oblige and move on before then ha ha !!!!!

Here is a (scarey!!) photo of me taken the other day ~ I couldn't find a 'before photo' there was one taken ~ but I think it was by the slimming club lady ~ she does a before and after shot ~ so you can compare the 2 at the end!! I thought that I would also keep a record here ~ so hopefully when I get to the end ~ I can look back over the weeks!!

(Sorry to any young children or anyone of a fragile disposition who was scared by that photo ~ it can hopefully only get better from here on in tee hee!!!)

On the carrot front ~ the children were very impressed to see that they have grown some more ~ the continued rain is doing them good ~ and I am hoping that they will carry on and actually grown into something resembling a carrot at some stage!!!

I finally got around to putting the tent around the bottom of Laurens new bed, so that she now has her 'boy free' zone to keep all her girlie things in !! She is quite impressed with it and has already filled it with a few bits and pieces!!

Daniel actually stayed still long enough for me to get a photo ~ he was listening to music and reading a book on his bed (not sure how he manages both at the same time!!) ~ so he didn't hear me sneak up on him until the last minute ~ and then it was too late for him to run away (ha ha !!)

The children are in the final part of the school term now, this is their last full week at school and they break for the summer next Wednesday! Then I have 6 weeks of taking them out and about and having some fun ~ before they start back in September!! Hope you have all had a good start to the week too!! XX
