Slimpip's Sleeve Jan'14

[slimpip]

Doing better this week already, got focused again. It's funny that it takes a STS or a poor loss to give me a kick up the jacksy. I had my physio appointment yesterday, I was thinking I was going to have my acupuncture, but after the initial assessment he said my hip muscles were so tight it would do more harm than good. So I had another deep tissue massage, about which all I can say is OUCH. Good god it's painful but the physio is quite hunky so I tried to be brave hehe.

Blood test in 30mins to determine whether I need any supplements or b12 injections etc...and then off to work for the final day of the week!!! Whoop, TGIF. X

It's always good to be 'back on track'! G'Luck with the blood works... It's not my best of time. Hope everything comes back excellent!

2lbs lost this week. Yey, that means I have lost 5st1 (71lbs eek). Next mini goal is to be 16st something, how exciting, having come from 22st something.

I'm so excited for this weekend it's unbelievable. I am seeing one of my best friends Christian down in Henley on Thames. I haven't seen him since last summer as he travels the world teaching English as a foreign language for a living. Then, just to top it off...on Sunday, it just so happens one of my other best friends, who I haven't seen in 2 years because she moved to Leeds and we are both too poor to travel that far haha, is visiting her parents in Henley on Thames so I'm seeing her on Sunday. It's going to be amazing!!!!

Hope they can see a difference in me XXX

 

[JennaMeri]

Woohoo!!!! Another milestone ticked! You're doing amazing and they're bound to see a change in you, even if it's not the change you expect. I've found that my friends I haven't seen don't really notice the weightloss cause that's never been how they looked at me... but they've all noticed the confidence and sparkle that I have now. Enjoy your weekend!

 

[slimpip]

Aww isn't that lovely? I don't mind what kind of difference they see, as long as they see one haha. Thanks for saying I'm doing amazing hun...hoping for next week to be a better loss...or maybe the week after as it's TOM this week. Can't wait to be 16st something so want to have a good push in next few weeks xx

 

[JennaMeri]

But you ARE doing amazing! What you've accomplished already is no small feat! You should be darn proud of yourself for where you've taken you. You'll always reach your highest goals as long as you remain proud of the accomplishments you make along the way. Keep it up! OH, they've changed my due date to the 9th (though my dating scan is tomorrow) so it's even closer to your bday!

Go pip doing fab such an achievement

 

[slimpip]

Getting there Jen, just keep that bun cooking an extra few days I saw the scan photo's, omg how amazing!!

Thanks Adele

Had my other half's grandads funeral today and it was nothing short of incredible. A gue number of people turned up to send him off and he was in an incredible Liverpool Football Club. The club have requested a photo of it and they're going to print it in the programme of the first match of next season. What a lovely idea.

Very difficult day, but went out for some nice dinner and we are both now settling down for the night, watching a movie. Have a nice weekend everyone xx

Heartfelt blessings Pip to you both at this sad time x x x

I've just realised how shocking that post was haha, my spelling!!! I can spell, I promise, just a lazy typer I reckon. I meant to say LFC coffin, it was awesome!!

Thanks for your thoughts ladies. I only met him a handful of times but he was a wonderful man and a real 'head of the family' figure.

Just got back from a gorgeous weekend catching up with old friends in Henley on Thames and Reading. Did an awful lot of walking...over 11k in total in the space of 24hrs haha. Loved it, look at how happy I look!? X

 

[JennaMeri]

You DO look happy! And it sounds like you had a great time.

 

[HelenAngelfish]

Thanks both hehe. Not losing much weight this week again but hey ho, it's been a good week x

 

[slimpip]

Another 2lbs lost...I'm happy with that. Nice pattern to fall into really, a steady, healthy loss. Now lost 5st3lbs...Just over 2lbs to lose before the scales say 16st something. I'm not holding out any hopes for that happening this next week though, as I have a meal out tonight and a ball on Saturday night which will involve plenty of alcohol I'm sure. But it doesn't matter...I have 9 weeks (yesterday) until I go on holiday...even if I lose 1lb per week, I'll be 16st7lbs which I haven't been in donkeys years. So that'd be pretty cool.

Happy Wednesday everyone xxx

 

[JennaMeri]

Happy Wednesday to you too!

 

[HelenAngelfish]

Well done!

Well done with the 2lb Slimpip

 

[slimpip]

Thanks everyone.

I've just booked for Guy and I to go to Budapest in January, for my birthday (well actually we will get back the day before but hey ho). I'm so excited. I do feel like I've got a bit more zest for life these days, I want to go for weekends away, and do day trips and go to parties more. Speaking of parties, I have the ball this weekend. I'm quite excited for that

I went to watch 'The Fault in Our Stars' last night. Great film, but if you are prone to tears, like me, be aware!!! Sobbing central I was. Embarrassing haha x
