[ It appears I have become a Fan ]

Of Jack Johnson and Taylor Swift that is! I LOVE their music and as i have been up since 2am feeling absolutely horrible from this flu that i have i have been doing some blog surfing, music downloading among many other things including some washing.....its amaizing how you pass the time in the early hours of the morning..LOL

Oh yeah, and i am trying to get my hands on an ipod so if you know of any great sales going on i would be most appreicative

Have a great Saturday everyone

[ Life goes on ]

So after last nights post i was hoping that i could just stay in bed forever, only ever having to go out to pick up some chocolate and the occasional pint of milk for tea.....but it just doesn't work that way. Last night i went to bed and then this morning my alarm clock went off and i had to drag my sorry butt out of bed and move on with life.

That's the thing with life, no matter what your facing - Life still goes on. Some days its refreshing, other days is just down right annoying!

So, after a long morning of feeling grumpy and frumpy i have decided that i need to "pull myself together" and just "get with it"! And what better way to do this than to have a plan.

On that note - here is my plan from today until Saturday mid morning.

1. Make it through the rest of the day and finish work

2. Either drop by my parents to pick up my study course work or drop by the courier company depending if it has returned yet

3. Clean myself up , have dinner if there is time, and go off to weekly study group.

4. Come back home and do the normal evening things.

5. Get up ON TIME and GO to work.

6. Do a good days work

7. From work head off to the gym for a workout....decide what workout the night before

8. Get up Saturday morning go to Body Combat class.

That is it - that is all that i am going to concentrate on over the next few days.

Oh and in other news - while i think about it - I went and bought myself a new workout shirt. In the hopes that it will make me feel just a little better about myself.

[ Pitty Party for 1 - Be ware, its not a pretty sight ]

This is me tonight, having a pitty part for one. I know i should be polite and invite you (cause we all know just how much you would LOVE to join me) but as i am feeling all sad and pathetic i have decided that i am doing this thing on my own! AGAIN!

Yes, alone and single are two of the things have joined me at my pitty party. It wont be forever i keep being told but right now they are comfy and set on staying.

Then there is the embarrassed and disgusted little fellas who are also joining me.

I went to my gym class tonight and the only place that i could get was directly in front of the mirrors. In a class full of other ladies i looked like an out of syn hippo having a bad day. Tummy and boobs jiggling everywhere, big butt and thighs sticking out like a sore thumb. I know it was only my imagination that every other thin, beautiful woman was looking at me, thinking horrible horrible thoughts but i let it get to me that much that i left the class, halfway through with tears running down my face.

As if that isn't enough i also don't have any chocolate in the house. Well i guess that's a good thing but it means that i have had to resort to raiding my baking cupboard and am currently sitting here eating my hundreds and thousands and half a bag of baking chocolate chips that i cant even remember opening.

Lets hope tomorrow will be a better day hey!

[ The Start of the Christmas Challenge ]

I seemed to have found my mojo once again for this weight lose journey this past week. Don't get me wrong i have been working hard and eating healthily but i haven't been keeping a very close eye on it all.

From today that all changes. I have been reading some very inspiring blogs these past few days and it has really motivated me to get back into this with 100% of my heart.

So, while i was doing my blog surfing I came across the Christmas Challenge and decided that this is exactly what i need to help me. It gives me a goal, keeps me accountable and hopefully i will make a few new friends. I have also done a bit of an update on my blog as well as on my links.

This will run for 12 weeks starting today and my goal is to lose 26lbs. That means that by Christmas I would have lost a total of 50 lbs. That will be brilliant.

My starting weight for this challenge is 259.2lbs.

My plan of action for this is as follows:

* Working out at the gym 4 - 5 times a week

* Staying within my WW points range

* Not eating after 9pm

* Eating a good breakfast every day
