Amber - I didn't do shred today! Tbh, I wasn't feeling great this morning and my abs were sore from yesterday. What's the saying again, no pain, no gain? Maybe tomorrow!
Benben, glad you've seen cutie, hope everything works out for you.0 -
My baths done, pj's on, ds is in the bath now, then its early nights all round as it feels like nearly midnight to me now after last night
I didn't go to Ww tonight, partly too tired, partly too much guilt .... anyway, I weighed myself before my bath and I was exactly 11 stone again :eek: (was 10 and a half before xmas). So, it starts again, i do not want to be the wrong side of 11 stone whatsoever, so a combinatin of hopefully seeing cutie again some time soon, and two holidays to look forward to means I need to get into gear again. Januarys weightloss plans have clearly gone out the window, but I will aim to get back to 10 and a half stone by the end of half term (4 and a bit weeks), then crack on again after that. I know I will find it wasier once the cold weather has gone, but overall its not been a bad winter so far, so I shouldn't use that as an excuse. I know cutie hsa a huge effect on me emotionally, so I need to get my weight back on track and then I don't feel so affected by other stuff, I just feel better abaou myself generally. My nails are starting to look better, can see proper white bits on the ends nowMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Glad you spoke to cutie, it probably needs a bit of air clearing so you can concentrate on things. Its really hard to lose weight at this time of year. I've managed to keep only gain a pound or two over Christmas, and have lost it all plus another 2 since. But its needed a lot of effort.

Today I bumped into cutie at school, I thought there was a chance he'd be in today as he wasn't in last wednesday when he said he may be. Anyway, he saw me coming (he was chatting with an admin person in the corridor) and he stopped talking to her and almost stood in front of me to block me missing him (as if!) ... anyway, he said "Hi, hi, how are you? We need to talk" and kept looking at the admin person who just didn't get the hint at all and just stood there :cool: Anyway, I said Hi, then he said "I haven't been ignoring you, I know I haven't replied to your texts yet but I haven't been ignoring you, we need to chat", I explained I had to get to a lesson (had a kid with me), and he said he'd try and find me before he left and if not he'd text me. As I started walking away he shouted at me "Great to see you, and you look great, I'll text you" :j :j
Lets face it, he's *rap at texting, but he honestly couldn't have looked more pleased to see me if he'd triedI think he does like me a bit, not enough but a bit, but think he is stupidly busy with his training and new school and its just not a priority for him. Thats fine, I'm happy to be mates, so long as he does finally text me at some point! I reckon it could easily be another week or two before he gets round to it but it totally made my day
Not in a 'I'm gonna sit here and wait for him' kinda way, just in a feeling better about myself kinda way
Excellent news! I'm so pleased. I told you he liked youIt's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey0 -

My scales show more of a loss but I guess should go on theirs. My work trousers feel looser though"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke
