.:"*":.Weighty matters.:"*":.This is my up and down diet blog - hopefully not too many ups ;) May 17 Another Week Hi ya!  Here we are going to start a new week of diet and exercise!  I have been thinking that it is probably better if I can keep the momentum up - to do 2 aerbics DVDs a day  or 1 aerobics and 1 toning because if I want to shift these pounds I am going to have to shake my booty!  I really should get toning too! I have until the beginning of August to lose at least a stone so thats 2.5 months away! So instead of typing on here - gonna let my hubby on and then go and do some aerobics (despite having a migrain yesterday!)  Until next time...  Carolyn May 14 WEIGH - IN ...but not until tomorrow!  I hope I've lost more weight!I have a longish walk  to do today to get to a rehearsal for my G5 flute exam!  I'll have to remember my pedometer Last night I did 30 minutes of aerobics - medium impact! so I was pleased with that! Been relatively good with my food (why is food such an issue for a lot of people - including me?) I've been wondering lately how many people read my blog(s)! Am I posting to nobody or do people actually read my writings?  If you visit - fancy leaving a comment... GO ON it won't hurt ya!  OK until next time (tomorrow after my weigh-in perhaps...)  Carolyn     May 11 The Weekend and Now Well, here I am again! I really don't feel like posting anything but thought I would keep someone up to date (not sure if anyone reads this or not!)! OK over the weekend I ate 4 almond macaroons and about 4 choc chip muffins - I know I should have had more self control!  Today I have hardly drunk anything (AGAIN!) but I have eaten fruit and some sausages and 2 bread rolls! I'm feeling rather miserable lately - I think it's the stress of my flute exam and the feelings of foreboding! I have about 6 weeks to go and I really don't feel as if I'm good enough to take the exam! Oh well I've paid for it now so tough really! I HAVE to do it! I have been putting together some crazy poems I've written so I can publish a book! Not sure who would buy them but someone might!  OK until next time readers  Carolyn May 08 WEIGH IN Whooo - weighed myself this morning and I have lost 3lbs
- yippee! Need to get my act together for carrying on - I have eaten an  almond macaroon tonight - eek that will be fattening! If I want to lose 2.5 stone I need to focus, focus, focus!  I keep forgetting to measure myself! Going to do aerobics  in a bit - have to let my dinner settle! OK onward to next week - things I need to improve on though: 1. I need to drink a LOT more water 2. I really need to exercise more (I thought I had been, but looking back probably not!) 3. I really need to resist chocolate (even though I only ate a small amount - those calories add up!) 4. I have to check my portion sizes - I'm sure I ate way too much Cottage Pie yesterday! 5. Plan plan plan ahead is the key! My lunches went a bit off track (although I tried to make healthy ones!) 6. Forgot to measure myself last week so I will have to do that today! TTFN CarolynMay 04 Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2009 Well here I am again with another dieting blog
installment! Not too much to report - yesterday evening I did nearly 20
mins of salsacise and today I think I'll do some aerobics ! For breakfast I ate 2 gluten free home made American Style Pancakes, 1oz raspberries and 1x 150g pot of soya  cherry yogurt! It was really yummy! Lunch will be a tuna salad with lots of  salad veg  etc and maybe 1tsp of Hellman's Extra Light Mayo -  yummy - it's 3% fat so much better than the other mayo, although not as creamy!One thing I have to do is  drink more - I really am not drinking enough and if I carry on I  won't stick to my eating plans!   I really need to do more walking as well - I stay indoors too often! (Hey they have a flautist and I play the flute - that was an aside...) OK until next time - have a fab bank holiday - hope this afternoon cheers up - typical Brit BH it's raining!    Carolyn  May 03 Sunday 3rd May 2009 Well here I am again - I'm into the 3rd day of my diet and I feel like some CHOCOLATE!  I've been 'good' the last 2 days - have done some exercising and eaten healthily       - I really have to keep this up and stop thinking about bad, unhealthy food  I HAVE to lose weight to fit into the clothes that still don the labels because I put on weight before I could wear them!   What is a girl to do?I think I'll have some grapes - might curb my sweet craving...   OK here's to the up coming week Carolyn Day 1 (Friday 1st May 09) Here is another blog entry for DAY 1 of my healthy lifestyle change... OK this is day one of my healthy lifestyle change! It is scary starting something new, especially as I've started healthy lifestyle changes before and lasted about a week! 
I am getting doubts about carrying this through as well as being
excited at the prospect of losing weight, maintaining it and staying
healthy! I am a mixed bag of emotions   As I get older I find I'm more fearful of failure than when I was younger - weird eh?  Well, I weighed myself this morning as this is going to be my first day and I've lost 1lb (without trying) from last week! Whooo hooo so something positive to go on with!For breakfast I ate 3 American pancakes, lunch was a sweet potato and 4oz baked beans - don't know what I'm cooking for dinner! I've planned my menus for next week and it's shopping tonight! OK folks I will try and keep you all updated Carolyn January 04 4th January 2009 Wow - this year has come so quickly and guess what readers? Yep, I'm sure you guessed it - I'm on a diet again!  Well whoever's reading this I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and may 2009 be a good one for you!    November 27 So far... I expect I have put weight on! I mention I'm on a diet then eat more - I need a psychologist I think LOL! I have eaten cakes and biscuits (even though they are like poison to me) It doesn't help when we have people around for dinner and they bring chocolates and biscuits for us - I don't have very good willpower! *sigh* Years ago I went on the Rosemary Conley New Inch Loss plan and lost over 3 stone so I CAN do it - I just need to get my butt off this chair and get exercising, eating less and drinking more water! See I know the solutions I am like an ill person who knows if he takes his medicine, ill get better but doesn't bother! Grrrr I annoy myself! LOL! I used to exercise twice a day and go swimming a couple of times a week but I don't bother now so I need to get pro-active! November 22 22nd November 2008 and time to take action!This is IT - I'm 39 in 3 months time and I've been overweight now for 2 years and I've had ENOUGH! I don't want to be fat and frumpy at the age of 40! So today I weighed and measured myself and these are the results:Height: 5' 2" (1.58m)Weight - 10 stone 10 (approx 150lbs) as for kilos over 64 but not sure of the exact weight!Bust - 40"Waist - 34"Hips - 41.5"Widest Part - 42.5"Top of Left Thigh - 21"Top of Right Thigh - 21"Above Left Knee - 14.5"Above Right Knee - 14"Both Upper Arms - 11"My BMI is 27.4 so I'm officially overweight!

My target weight is 8st 7lbs (which I was 10 years ago when I moved to where I'm living at present)! M BMI then would be 21.8 (well within the healthy range of - 18.5 - 24.9)
I weighed in at 10st 9 and have to lose 2 stone (28lbs) by 1st March! 
(I changed from 29th Feb because 1st March is a Saturday so it will be Saturday 1st Dec - Saturday 1st March - a good Welsh day)

 You're the life of the party, and a total flirtYou are also pretty picky about what you drink Only the finest labels and best mixed cocktails will do Except if you're dieting - then it's Diet Coke and Bicardi all the way |

World cup challenge
I'm not doing well at all! I have registered though to do a sponsored swim (for a charity called Aspire)! You have 12 weeks to swim 'the channel' - well not literally but the equivalent in your pool!
A few years ago I was swimming 128 lengths (2 miles) 3 times a week - it I could train back up to that level before the challenge begins - I could swim 72 miles in the 12 weeks! The channel is only 22 miles! :)
So I'm going to go to the pool and train (Swimming is something I really like doing!)
