Happy Monday, everyone,

Janey

Well done Alison hope you're ok. I was just reading your blog I hope you get it all sorted out. It all sounds horrible.

Great pics Janey

Go Maz!

I've been surprisingly OK today. My hamstrings are a bit sore, but if they weren't I might feel like I hadn't pushed myself yesterday! I managed some time on the cross trainer this morning (to warm my muscles up before a stretching session), and even summoned up the energy to run for the bus home.

Plus I got hold of a copy of the results, out of 319 women I finished 114th! (717th overall including the men). I'm very chuffed with almost being in the top third of the women on my first attempt!

And the new Runners World has arrived. Life is good

I doubt you'd have over eaten. Just need to balance it out. I fill myself up on superspeed foods, like strawberries, melon and raspberries.

Work was HORRIBLE today. I am dreading going in tomorrow. How dare they act like that! Tony, Leigh and even Russ are fuming. I couldn't get over the barefaced cheek... the newbies? You can tell they had Duncan as a manager, they've all got his attitude. NO need for it.

I won't be able to put up with it much longer if I have to sit where I am. Apart from everyone in and out all the time, the noise! My ears are so sore where I had the music on full blast and rammed right deep into my ears!!
Drawn the short straw I think.
REALLY

I think my original plan of looking for another job was the most sensible one. We've gone from the happiest team in the place I think, to this!
Not to mention how MT was looking at me today... if looks could kill!

Ok, sorry people... little rant there.

Who's this aimed at?
If me (if not tough! )
I'm not actually looking at loosing 180... more like 170 or so. But I would like to get 180 off. I reckon if I put that figure on, i'm more likely to try for it as the counter get's nearer!

I don't walk. I don't do any exercise whatsoever. I want to, but I just don't have the motivation. Well, actually I do. I just don't wanna do it alone, I can't even bribe my nephew to come along if I buy him a new xbox game!
I live near the sea too, also the moors. So there is plenty of places I could go on walks!
I have just been following the Slimming World diet.
10½lb First week
2lb Second week
1lb Third
6½lb Forth.

Four and a half pounds is a fab loss Mary!!! Especially at your starting weight!!! Hommersmummy is just a superstar But so are you!!!

I have just ordered my subscription to Runners World, I must be mad!!!

I did a great lower body workout yesterday, including some weird exercises on the power plate, which I am convinced is having some impact on my cellulite, which I am sure is all in my head, but hey!!! It's fun!!! I like lying down in the gym with a giant vibrating plate between my legs LOL

I'm getting measured on Thursday finally. I took my enormous size 26 jeans in for show and tell yesterday, hilarious to think I only bought them October 2004 and it looks like you can get two of me in them!!! My friends (who didn't know me when I was fat) were amazed!!!

Mee toooooo! I have a runners world subscription... it must be in the mail box, but I won't go and check because it will just depress me. No running for frus In fact no nothing since I'm poorly sick and off work!

At least I'm getting a nice rest. Well at least I was until next door started playing loud Iranian music.

Going to play with my printer and clothes for the weekend since I'm out of bed. I can't even have a bath because the bathroom backs onto their noisy apartment.

Nice pics Janey

I meant to mention the pics Janey. i remember you saying your bought your outfit in East, and lovely it looks too!!

Poor frus. I used to have a really awesome Christian heavy metal rock cd, which was fairly atrocious, but it did come out in times of need. Like annoying the neighbours. I blast opera at the kids who hang around outside our house!!!

Frus, your running will be brill once you've had a rest. All good frus's need rest occasionally, can't be superwoman all the time.

It's Shrove Tuesday today, so I am going to have pancakes at lunch. Yum!!!

Sometimes, because I am still obese, I forget just how far I've come, and my jeans remind me!!! It's just amazing how much difference the weight coming off has made. I feel completely different, and I do stuff I never would have dreamed of before. I adore exercise now, because I don't go bright red and look like I'm having a coronory every time I enter the gym!!!

Amen to the less redness! I used to get the piss taken out of me horribly at school for looking like a beetroot. Now after 2 hours beating things (I wish it was those bullies) I look like I'm mildy glowing

Oh I'm feeling better BTW! I've been printing stuff out for my polaroid bag. Well I don't have a polaroid camera, so I'm printing pictures and "framing" them in a polaroid type way with cardboard!

I really hope the bullies are there on Saturday, but knowing the sort of people they are, they'd never come back to school. DAMN! I really can't wait to see the look on people's faces. I was 16 stone when I left school - around 12 now (I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE SCALES ) oh and most of that 12stone is butt kicking muscle - YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHA!

I'm enjoying my rest

I was bullied at school too, mainly because of my asthma and being useless at sport. I'd love them to see me now giving it some welly at the gym!! I got teased about my weight too, but that was a side issue. Bullies are horrible.

Bizarrely a few years ago a girl looked me up on Friends Reunited, and apologised for bullying me at school!!! I was really surprised. She can't have been that bad because I don't really remember her!!!

It's fat night tonight, watching telly and not doing very much. I am going to have to tape Supersize surgery it's on at 11 and I'll be well away by then. I need sleep!

I know someone who lost 8 stone and went to a school reunion to show the bullies and she ended up calling them all fat and shouting at them Oh dear!

I'm sure 2frus will be better behaved I'm sure your superwoman-ness will get back to the bullies even if they're not there.

Well done Mary

Definitely karma time for bullies. I think bullying is a lot worse now though. With mobile phones, and stuff, a lot more sinister and violent. I'm glad I don't have little 'uns, I'd hate them to have to go through what I did at school. And there's nothing you can do, I don't think there is anything my parents could have done differently.

I think I'm going to swing by Primark on the way home, and look at tops. Only all the girls are wearing black wraparound jumpers at present and it looks like a school uniform!!!

Only an hour to go, I could do with an early night!!!
