Paul Mckenna - The Beginning
Dug out my PM books and Cd's. With the absence of Xen, and trying to go it alone I have realised something.
My emotional eating sucks.
I need to get that under control before I even attempt any other "diets"
So I am using the 90 day plan, in the hope it will work.
It did the first time but I need to be strict with myself and make sure I follow it properly, i gave up on day 42 last time.
No weighing in every week, only every fortnight if I really have to.
Start date 17th July - 90 days from now I'd like to be at least 2 stone lighter!
Starting weight - 18st 2.

Long time no..
Cant believe the last time I posted on here was the 17th of June, today is the 9th of July! thats nearly a whole month ago!
Whoopsy.
Life has been pretty hectic, and not really in that much of a good way, still waiting for our moving date so our lives are pretty much on hold until then. Cant plan to go anywhere incase it happens to be that weekend that we can move!
Diet isnt going very well at all. I keep slipping back into bad habits. NEED my Xenical back :(
Stress isnt helping at all.

Healthy food
So I have done the Tesco shop today, and bought only healthy food, apart from a packet of ginger biscuits, but they were for our littlun, honest!
I'm hoping that this will mean I can lose a bit this week and concentrate on my food intake and amounts I am eating, especially portion sizes and also my intake of Junk Food.
We had a Mcdonalds this weekend due to not planning ahead and then a chinese takeaway due to the cooker breaking....not great start. But the cooker is mended for now and Mcdonalds are strictly off the menu for a long time!
I have my goal of getting into the 16's by my birthday in August and I am never going to achieve it at the rate I have been going the past few weeks. Ive wobbled a bit and lost track a bit, but I am back on it now.
Onwards and Downwards :)

No Weigh in
No weigh in today. Trying to do it every 2 weeks instead, after going 2 weeks last time I seem to notice the loss more!
Have had a bit of a crap weekend food wise and exercise wise. I pulled my back out so have hardly been able to move yet I have still been out and about which in turn I think has made it worse :( May have to see a specialist because this keeps happening now, at least once a month.
Its on my side, sort of hips area and I cant bend over or lift. I can stand and it wont hurt and I can sit and it wont hurt but anything in between the two and its agony
We had a chinese, a mcdonalds, a lunch out in a restaurant (was only spag bol) but still and then I made burgers and chips for dinner last night, I need to get back into eating more white meat, its healthier, we seem to be eating a lot of beef at the moment. We had Steak and chips for dinner over the weekend, then beefburgers last night, we had beef meatballs one night and also beef mince for chilli con carne. I'm going to turn into a cow!

I'm in the 17's!!
The scales in my kitchen couldnt decide this morning between 17 10 3/4 and 17 12, so i'm going to go for the middle of the two and say 17st 11. It came up a few more times even when moving the scales around the floor. (We have dodgy floorboards, they arent very even and the kitchen and bathroom ar eonly places without carpet, bathroom floorboards are really uneven so kitchen it is!)
I am finally into the 17's!!!! I am So happy right now. I feel it too, I can feell the confidence already, nothings gonna stop me now :)

June Update.
Need to do a weigh in, haven't done now one for 1 and a half weeks, will be doing it on Monday.
Have had a week of feeling rotten with a virus and not eating a lot so i was hoping that would help make up for the weekend away we had last weekend where we ate 2 Chinese takeaways in one weekend.
Also haven't had chance to actually do any food shopping yet this week with being poorly.
Last night went out for a friends birthday and had steak and chips and peas, no starter, no pudding. But then had about 6/7 glasses of rose wine.
Its the first proper hangover I've had in about 6 years.
I don't usually drink a lot, i now remember why :)
Back on track for June. Hopefully once have done shopping today will feel a bit more positive about my eating this week. Will weigh in on Monday.
The Paddy Group ran for a month on FB and now there is a new one open for if you want to join the June group. There is a small cost, which is why I've just stayed with the May one, I don't have the spare cash to be paying for facebook groups or forums whether they are ran by a PT or not. That doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend it to other people tho, it is worth the money.
I have an under 18st goal to achieve this month, I want to be at least 17st by my Birthday in August.
Wish me luck!

18 Stone!
So last week I FINALLY got down to 18 stone, and I was determined then to this week get at least 1lb off to get underneath it for the first time in about 4 years at least.
But no it wasnt to be, I am so bloated, its that time of the month from today so i dont think it has helped at all. My scales went between 17st 13 and 18st and and a half. so im calling it a STS this week.
We have a busy weekend away this week so im going to have to be really careful what I eat whilst away.
I will still try and record food and exercise using my fitness pal whilst on the go.

No Weigh in today
So I know I changed my weigh in days to Fridays not so long ago, but for May my weigh in days will be Tuesdays, which means I have to be super good over the weekends, having Friday as my weigh in was no good because i'd eat crap over the weekend and then try to make up for it before Friday which just wasn't working, so hopefully Tuesday will help.
So no weigh in today, have to wait till Tuesday :)

Paddys Summer Slimdown 2012
So I'm guessing most people have heard of Paddy Cunningham right? Contestant on The Biggest Loser last year, lost an amazing amount of weight and now looks fabulous.
Well he being in the lovely guy that he is, has now decided to use his new super powers to help others and has set up his own PT business http://www.ptpaddy.com/
He has also decided to help those using social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook through a new Challenge called Paddy's Summer Slimdown.
He has got over 400 members together on a Facebook group for the month of May to help encourage and motivate one another through the ups and downs of losing weight and getting fit.
He is doing this for free, there is no charge, I'm guessing we are the guinea pigs to see if it works ;)
You follow whatever healthy eating plan you wish but you have the added bonus of health and exercise tips from Paddy and the support of 400 people in the same boat as you.
I for one am really looking forward to this month and taking part in it. I am hoping it will give me the boost needed to finally get below 18 stone! and the motivation to get back to the gym or at least some fitness classes when I can.
A Huge Thank you Paddy for setting this up. I hope we all make it worth your continued effort.
If you want to be notified of Paddy's future Slimdowns (Cannot join the one for May as it is now closed) then follow him on Twitter @paddycunningham or visit his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/ptpaddy
Good luck to any others taking part in this, feel free to follow my blog and I will follow you back :)

Food Diaries
I use My Fitness Pal for taking note of what I am eating on a daily basis and also the exercise I am taking part in.
I find this helps me focus on my calorie and fat intake alot more than say how many "syns" I would be eating if I was to do the slimming world diet.

Rubbish weekend food wise
Have eaten things that are so not withint Xen Rules!
But have been to Tesco today and have bought all things that are low fat and healthy! :) so I have NO excuse this week. Have also found 5 Xen tablets that have appeared from nowhere (in a handbag) so I am going to maybe take one of those a day this week, see if that helps again.

Gain. A Big Fat Smelly Gain
2.5 ON this week.
Going to have to work extra hard this week to get this off. It seems like my body is refusing to go below 18 stone, I get so close and then gain or STS! I was 18 exactly last week and then gained again this week.
So annoying.
I don't know where I am going wrong because I am eating healthy, exercising more, yet its just not coming off :( GP has sent me for underactive thryoid tests and I get the results from those next week. Would explain a few things!
Thinking of maybe trying a diff diet of some sort, I have my Paul Mckenna stuff still so might try that again as coping without the Xenical just isnt really working for me, it was what kept me on the straight and narrow and I could see the losses with it, without I seem to be suffering.
Hurry up manufacturers and sort it out!!

Exercise Plan
So because I don't have time, or money to go to the gym or fitness classes at the moment, here is my fitness plan for the upcoming week.
Friday (Today) - 60 min Aerobics online once Littleun is in bed.
Saturday - Brisk Walk/Jog in the morning round the block whilst Hubby is at home to babysit.
Sunday - Grocery Shop (I was surprised when looking into this how many calories pushing a trolley actually burns off!)
Monday - Brisk Walking round a Local Kids Attraction (Taking Littleun out for the day with a friend to a farm park, also involves me climbing around a Soft Play no doubt)
Tuesday - 60 Min Aerobics online or on Wii Fit
Wednesday - Brisk Walk/Jog round block once littleun is in bed (Hurray for Lighter Nights)
Thursday - 60 Min Aerobics online
