REDUCE
Weight : 19st 3.5lbs (269lbs/123.0kg ish)
Getting back into the swing of the diet/healthy eating this week and lost 1.5lbs. Not as much as I would have liked but I'm still pretty proud. Glad to be doing this slowly, it's getting me into good habits and training my body to be happier with smaller portions and it's really doing wonders for my digestive system. Think I just need to exercise (at all) to speed things up, but I'm in no rush right now. As long as I can fit into the dress Aunty Bucket bought me (a small size 18, one/two dresss size/s down) by Christmas I'll be happy. I think that's around another 10lbs. Before this tiny blip I was losing around 2lbs a week anyway so I'll be there by the end of August? Beginning of September? We'll see. I think blogging about it will help.
Today;
Fruit slices
2 x poached eggs on dry toast with lightly fried mushrooms
half a small homemade quiche
Picky things at Sharons - crusty bread with butter, tomatos, small hotdog, chicken drumsticks/thighs...
Lots of fat, so I'll have to be better tomorrow or maybe go on a long walk with boyfriend? We'll see.
RELOCATE
Brother is signing off on his house payment on the 23rd (Thursday) and then getting the keys on Saturday! It's pretty DAMN exciting but I think I'm gonna miss my big bro... not all that much though, because his room is twice the size of mine, I'm moving into his bedroom and boyfriend is moving in too!!
The plan is that brother and his fiance are going to be slowly moving the small things over into the house (suitcases with clothes, boxes of DVDs, CDs, the small appliances and electronics they have, some smaller bits of furniture) then hiring a van for maybe a day and moving over the bigger stuff, like his bed and a couple chairs I think they're getting from fiance's parents, in the next couple weeks.
Me and mum are having a day in York on 1st August so they'll maybe do a lot of the moving while mum's out the way - she does worry and flap and her blood pressure is already high. Bless her.
The week after they're completely moved out, Mum wants to totally clean brother's bedroom. Like, clean the walls and ceiling, hover completely, dusk, fabreeze, go HAM on the cleaning.
Then I was thinking the weekend after she's finished I'd go stay at boyfriend's house (or his mum's house) and then the Sunday night I'd bring him and some of his stuff (clothes and PC- you know, the crucial stuff) back with me. Then he'd be living with us!
We need to buy a few things though - and I think I'll be taking advantage of the extra pay this month to do that - like a new bed. Obviously I have my own right now and it's a small double, but the mattress is pretty fucked. We wanna get a memory foam one that's not too soft and have seen one on sale at the local Bensons for Beds store. Fingers crossed it's still on sale when we have the space to put it in. We also need a new desk, because boyfriend doesn't actually have one, he's been using a chest of drawers with the drawers taken out so he can put his legs underneath. We'll get one pretty cheap from Argos or Ikea. We already have two new chairs. Mine is set up but his is still in the box until he moves in.
I'm so excited!
Also excited to plan a trip with Mama. I haven't seen her since February!!
This year is turning out to be far better than last year -- though it'd be pretty hard to beat how much SUCK last year was.
