My weight loss so far

Hi everybody this is a weight loss blog.

Me now and me on the 25th December

I've been on my weight loss for 78days that's 11 weeks and this week I have lost 1 lb. So in total that's 21lb how amazing is that I'm so happy.

OK my doctor has asked me to stop eating meat as  have IBS and we want to find out what up set it. So since I had no meat since Monday thought I would try. Today is day 6 and I have done OK.. But today is mothers day so we had  Roast Beef I didn't think it would hurt so I had the same  and it was lovely. But my tummy has been terrible since so I guess it is meat that up set me. As the beef I got was a lean cut and didn't have much fat if any on it and it was nice.
so if there are and vegetarians or vegan that want to give me some pointers I would be most grateful.

This week I've had
Fish pie
Quorn bolagnaise
veg lasanya with mushroom layer
butternut squash soup
vegetable soup
and lots of salad
I have switched to have
granary bread
wholemeal crackers
wholemeal pasta and rice

I've also been eating a lot of frozen fruit Topped with fat free yogurt or fat free fromage fraise
I like it with a little bit of canderal to sweeten it.


My planed meals for this week are
in the mornings
alpine muesli
weetabix
porrage all topped with
fat free yogurt and frozen fruit
egg /beans/ mushrooms on toast
for lunch i tend to have salad
with ryvitas or crackers
or homemade soups

trying to get organized

HI
As it says I'm trying to organize my self so I know where I am

I like butterflys they make me smile

1. I plan to keep a diary on my day 
2. I going to eat breakfast every day 
3. I am only going to weigh myself on a Tuesday at the chemist (not every day )
4. I am going to start riding my bicycle instead of getting the bus  and walking where possible 
5. I going to exercise for 30 minute 2 days a week. I am also planing to do a exercise DVD once a week 
6. I am going to plan my meals for the week including my packed lunches.
7. going to drink more water. I also going to drink more fruit tea instead of normal tea.
8. going to count the calories in my food 
9. not to go out when i'm hungry.

This is going to be fun as I'm the most unorganized person there is. But I do seem to muddle throw.
I am hoping this will get my weight loss going again. I have also Joined myfitnessplan which is helping me count the calories and stay focused I'm finding there is a lot of  support there  which is a great bonus.
I have recently notice I am easily sabatarged with my diet. Specially in the evening and when I an tired or when I am out and hungry.
My next challenge is I love cooking and  baking. I have been making my own bread, cheese straws, cakes and I cook from scratch as I like to no what I'm eating my next step is to make then low calorie should be fun.

Take care M xx

Proud Mummy

Hi people

I'm a very proud mummy today as my youngest used a beaker. He is 2 and a half and  I've left it late but his never shown any interest in using one.  But today as always I made breakfast put it on the table with his beaker of juice. He picked it up and drank his juice I was so happy Then when I gave him his lunch I got "Thank you mummy mmmmmm yummy" He ate it all. Then the same at dinner talk about putting his big brothers to shame even they were amazed.  So I most be doing something right.

My weight loss is going good I have started to feel a bit better so hoping I've lost. I'm sort of dreading standing on the scales tomorrow as I didn't weigh-in last week. But I know I had put on so we will see.

My mum is going home tomorrow and I'm worried about her as she is going to be on her own and it's really hard to get to her I really need to get closer to her. the question is how.
I'm planning on doing a London blog soon as I have loads of pictures  from over the last few weeks were I having to go up there loads so we will see

Any way got to go
Bye and Take care

getting back on track

I've found it so hard to blog lately as everyone's been ill.But I'm getting back on track.

First my 2yr old had a bad cold and wanted cuddling all the time. Then it went on his chest (his asthmatic ) which made him extra grumpy and clingy
Then we had a couple of day where he was better and everything was going sort of smoothly.
But it was my daughter anniversary on the 7th of February  so I was a bit down.
Then to top that my mum rang me on the 7th to let me no her little dog had died that morning in her arms and she was devastated I didn't no what to do so I went to my meeting.
Then got the train to see her left london at 3.30 didn't get there till 6.15.
I only got to stay with mum for 2hrs as I had to get home as she live by the coast and I'm just out side London  but she was glad of the hugs she had it time like these I hate living so far away

Gypsy was a 10year old Yorkshire terrier that was part of the family  she was a cheeky and lively dog

She was my mum companion and the only one she spoke to all the time. When my dad died 4 years ago I think most of all  it was gypsy that kept her going.

she will be dearly missed.

Do you know I remember thinking after mum told me was oh she never going to wear her coat I made her how silly is that. 

So on Friday mum came down for The weekend for Sunday dinner but I think she has enjoyed her self and being round the kids.

J my OH has been ill since Friday with a tonsilitus we think and high temper so has been in bed.  I seem to be spending all my time running up and down stairs so that should keep me fit. 

On the weight loss I've not weighed my self as my scale have broke but i have been trying to eat properly and have been making foods from scratch I've made so far pizzas and HM Yorkshire puddings which were yummy I also have been making biscuits and cake I like knowing what is in my food specialy the foods i give my children 

anyway I'm signing off for tonight 

Take care
