only 363 days til next christmas..

well after the usual mad build up its all over and done with for another year - well til september anyway!
Have had a lovely couple of days - ate and drank too much, done very little/no excecise, ( took daughter on bike for a bit and a half hour stroll on boxing day - does that count?) just looking forward to getting started on 6th Jan.
Got the LL magazine on xmas eve - flicked through it but want to have a good read when I get some time to myself.
10 days til it starts....
xXx

waiting....

Flippin eck the days are going slowly!!!!

I finish work for christmas tomorrow - yay!

We have our xmas lunch tomorrow, then i'm off to see the pigeon detectives at night - should be a fab gig as the venue is small, can't wait.

Then it's a girly night in town on saturday - so a weekend of excess alcohol and food no doubt.

I'm going to enjoy it knowing the next time I will be out drinking that I will be at my ideal weight and not having to spend all week deciding which clothes i can squash myself in to and feeling miserable on the nite cos I look like a heffer!!!

The Dreaded Doctors Visit!

Well after all the panicing about having to convince/argue with the doctor to sign my form I can't believe how unecessary it was!

The doc was great - very interested, he had a student with him who was lovely. She took my blood pressure 124/78 which he said was good, and pulse 100 - a bit fast but was cos I was flustered!

He wished me good luck - I'm so relieved!

I rang the LLC and said I am def up for starting in Jan - so I will just now enjoy christmas and get my head round the programme by continuing to read the blogs and forums.

Bye for now!
Merry christmas xXx

The information meeting

Hi there
well, on tuesday I went to the meeting.

There were just four of us there - they seemed nice people. One of the ladies is going to be on the lighterlife light programme so I won't see her again anyway.

The councellor seemed nice - not as 'thin' as I had expected, but she says she has dropped from a size 22/24 to a 14/16 but over 3 years so not quite sure what to make of that?

The dvd was good, but tbh all the research and forums had prepared me well and I 'knew it all' already.

got to taste some of the flavoured water. Its ok, but then again I don't really like squash anyway so might not be buting any - unless it is to make ice pops!

I was weighed 81kg - so 12.8 - what I thought.

We got the forms for the doc - i'm convinced they will say no.

Left the meeting feeling positive and looking forward to January.

Disappointed

Am really peed off. Got a phone call at 5.30pm saying the session tonight has been cancelled as the LLc has gone home sick.



I had been so looking forward to taking the first step and now am going to have to wait a week.



I had made my friend drive round and round an industrial estate at lunchtime trying to find where the meeting place was - I'd taken the directions down wrong! We eventually had found it so I was set - even if it started snowing again- nothing was going to make me miss the meeting.



Another bit of bad news is that the saturday group isn't starting til Feb - so I might have to wait 2 months. there is a group starting on 5th Jan, but it is on a monday night 8-10pm.



I really don't know what to do - if hubby is working at home, its no prob, but there's no guarentee and I really don't know if it will feel right leaving the kids home alone - tho i'm sure they would be fine. I might have to have a word with Mary next door...



Drinking a bottle of Baileys to cheer myself up.

Well, spent all last night reading blogs. One in partic was really inspiring- read from day 1 -98. The pictures were great.

I can't believe that by April that could be me.

I keep thinking about how much I could change in just a few weeks - its actually quite frightening.

I went to the hairdressers tonight - as I left he said 'see you in 4 months' - thats really got me thinking, next time I go there I could be 3 stone thinner if I really do do this.

I'm looking forward to the meeting tomorrow night - feel a bit guilty as the grandparents are coming to babysit and I have said I'm at a work thing. I don't want to tell anyone I'm going just in case I don't start.

Anyway, roll on tomorrow.............................
