Thought it was time for another post.

Heya all. Hope you are well. I am struggling at the moment with depression big time - hate being unemployed, keep getting interviews, but no-one seems to want me, which is a bit sh!t. I have another interview today with Cancer Research in Tiverton, so we shall see how that one goes.

On the up side, I only have 4.5lbs to go now till I hit my 3 stone target, but only like 4 weeks to do it in. Cutting it a bit fine, and no time for slip ups now. Its so much pressure, I seriously didnt think that I would be panicking this much, and that it was going to be a breeze, but losing weight is really not easy. It gets much harder as you go down the scale. Currently at 14 stone and 1.5 lbs, when I started at 16 stone and 11lbs. It is really good, and I am really pleased, but I seem to have a lack of motivation, which has been hanging over my head for a long time now, and I cant seem to shift it.

Its horrible too when you have had an argument with your partner and you need their support just when you cant have it. So, yea, I feel cr!p at the moment. And all I can say is sorry. I am trying not to let anyone down, but whatever I do, I seem to let them down. Guess I am just a born failure.

The new WW system is coming out next week - ProPoints. No calories or saturated fat counting, but fat, carbs, protein and fibre. Sounds hard but interesting. I am looking forward to the fact that fruit is free though. Banana's :) nom nom nom.

Guess that's pretty much all for this post. Only just to say that I am waiting to hear back from Tesco's to see whether they will give me 20% of the sponsorship that I raise.

Hope so.

Anyways, speak to you again soon. Writing it all down seems to have been quite theraputic.

Ciao for now xX

Another half a pound

I lost another half a pound this week... so only 6.5lbs to go till i hit my target now. I am cutting it a bit fine. No chocolate and naughty stuff for me this week either, I was so bad this week it was unbelievebale. I dont know how I lost!!

Big exciting news today - wish I could share it with you.. well I can soon!!

Nearly a month

has passed since I last blogged! That is awful. Anyways. Just to let you know that I have hit 2 and a half stone last Tuesday... so I make that 7lbs to go, in about 8 weeks !! Fingers crossed eh!! I still need you all to sponsor me... not gonna hit my target at this rate!

I was made redundant on Tuesday, so been sorting out a lot of archery stuff since. Starting to get everything tidy :) I am happy and ways and sad in others at the moment. But my drive to complete this weigh loss is immense at the moment!!

Love

Sami xxxx

2 stone 1 lbs now..

... and hoping that I lose more again at my weigh in this week as I am running out of time!! I dont know what else I can do to lose it in time to be honest. I find that 'gymmy' type exericse makes me put on muscle and therefore weight, so I dont want to be doing that. I will just have to see what I weigh again this week at class.

At Autumn Gold today so I am on the dongle playing Farmville etc, but just about to sort out the trophies.

Please keep sponsoring me, as I am not near my target yet!! xxx

2 stone 0.5 pound in total now :D

Well chuffed that I lost 2.5 lbs this week. Am plodding on nicely. And powering on again this week :) I am so going to reach my target!!! Just need everyone to keep sponsoring me!!

Sami xxxx

2 lbs left...

...and then I will have hit the 2 stone mark. Have worked out I have about 13 weeks until my final weigh in... scary times. Need to crack on with it to be honest. Am a bit worried about it. No slacking now.

Worried!!!!


Will keep you up to date xxxx

Back to it...

Things have been distracting lately and I have had a lot of emotions to deal with. I did not go to my weigh in last week which was naughty - but I am going tommorrow night, so I will let you know how I all got on.

Me and Jase went GO APE on Sunday which was super super scary, but 3.5 hours of climbing and sweating and being frightened must have burnt off some calories?! Hope it shows on the scales this week.

Work is great though, which always helps..


RIP Danny <3 Love you always,

Sami xxxx

Weigh in after the news

... had my first weigh in after the news tonight... as I didnt go yesterday, as I couldnt bring myself to go out in public tbh. And even with camping and comfort eating, I managed to stay the same - which I am really happy about.

Work is going really well at the moment, starting to get the hang of things and really starting to learn important jobs that have to be done every single day.

So at the moment, im 15 stone 1 lb. Just over a stone to go now...

Sami xx

RIP Danny

I am not keeping it a secret any more. My Godson, Daniel died this morning... he turned 12 on 24th July 2010.. and passed away this morning. My heart is shattered into pieces at the moment, so I dont really know what else to say, apart from the fact that I wish I could have seen him again. But that was taken out of my control, by some very selfish b*tch who is going to have to live with what she has done for the rest of her life.

On the weight loss side, this has spurred me on to improve my fundraising and produce a very fitting tribute to my gorgeous godson. So I beg of you, please donate anything you can.

Rest In Peace Darling.

Always in my heart xXxxxXx

Hello again everyone

I thought that I would post you an update to tell you how hard it is to eat properly in the summer. either i wanna eat all of the time, or i dont wanna eat at all. That teamed with the fact that my body clock has gone loopy and i cant seem to wak up until midday... which really isnt helping.

missing jase alot and cannot wait to see him tomorrow. i have so much to do tomrrow, it will be a micracle if i get it all done. oh well. power on through it i guess!!

brad has his operation today on his heart - hope it went ok. wishing you lots of love lil bro

Sami xxx

One and a half stone..

... life cannot be better at the moment, I have hit one and a half stone weight loss now, me and jase are better than ever, and all i need now is a flat and a job... fun times ahead? i think so :D xx

Arguing is healthy.. right..?

I hate arguing with Jase, makes me so upset and I wish we wouldnt argue about the smallest things. =[ I feel so bad all the time when we argue, and last night was not an exception. Felt so depressed, didnt get a hug/kiss from him at all yesterday, in fact we barely even touched skin. He didnt give me a kiss good bye this morning either when he left for work, so not in the best of moods today either.

I want to sort it all out when he gets home about 5. I said sorry via text this morning, and he said it too... well he said ' im sorry too, i guess' which was a bit backwards forwards, but i hate arguements so just gonna let it slide.

I am still waiting to hear back from Dyno about this job, fingers crossed. Looking forward to going to Mim's bday BBQ this evening and me and Jase have been invited out to dinner in Exeter, which I am really looking forward to. Have to save up my points for it :) 4.5 saved so far, and I am going to be good at the BBQ tonight and only have 1/2 sausages or burgers. Going to look up their points in a bit.

Jase text me at 1 saying that they had finished for the day and they were off to Badgers Holt on the moor to get an icec-ream. Wish I was having one!

Diet been going well this week, so fingers crossed on Tuesday. Waiting for Mumma to call back to see whether any post has arrived for me, and to tell her that I will be home tomorrow. I dont know whether we are going back tonight or not yet though.

Speak to you again soon people

Ciao 4 now xx

Weigh in and I stayed the same this week

Which considering I went out to dinner, had profiteroles, eat chinese and many sticks of icecream... was a miracle to be honest lol. But I am still upset that I stayed the same, because I had such good intentions of being good - but to be honest, dont we all?

I am going to try really hard this week, like seriously hard to be good. I had my interview this morning, and I think it went well, but I will have to wait until either Friday or Monday to know for sure.

Day was a bit hectic today as after my interview I went to pick up prescriptions and bits and pieces like that, and I have stuff to do in town tomorrow too.

Been up with Grandad this evening form 11.30 till 1.00, so this is why I am writing so late. He tried to bite me, which is not good. Its hard to seperate yourself from him and the illness when he gets like that, but when he threatens Nanny, that is another matter. He is upset because his brother died last week, and the funeral is on Friday... personally I dont know why Nanny chose to tell him, I think it was very wrong, and we would not have had to go through all of this.

Anyways, moving on..

Missing Jase alot tonight, and could really do with a cuddle right about now. Going to Mim and Alex's for a BBQ on Friday night, but I might have to go to this funeral during the day - Im not sure yet though.

Im gonna try and get off to sleep now, but I dont know how successful I am going to be

Thankyou (all - hahhaha) for reading,

speak to you all again soon

Night night xoxox

ouchie ouchie ouchie...

... really dont like sunburn. I put on suncream and everyting and Jase was reapplying it throughout theday. Im not too bad, but he is red/white/red and he cna hardly move - good job he has the day off tomorrow so that he can rest up and put aftersun on all day (bless him!) I am red and a bit stiff, but nothing as bad as him. That aside, we had a really nice day at Exmouth beach, and was nice when Charlotte Marino came down to see us for an hour or so :) Chatted and chilled with her on the beach, and was nice to see her navel piercing :) Looks so pretty.

Came home and had chinese which was a bit naughty, I really havent been that good this week tbh! Lol. Angel for the next two days though.

Off to bed now, cos we are both really tired, but I have a feeling that I am going to be creaming Jase every couple of hours with this soothing after sun stuff :P

Thank-you all for reading (if anyone actually does...)

Night night xxoxx

Day at the beach...

me and jase went to the beach at dawlish :) was really nice. got there about lunchtime and went for a swim in the sea and then sunbathed for a bit. had another quick dip and then dried off and went to get some lunch. had a panini and chips and a bottle of diet coke which was a nice treat and then was naughty and had an icecream. only had a bowl of salad for dinner tonight though :) so all cool :)

came home and went to tesco and got a new bikini and got Jase a pair of boardies to wear tommorrow apart from mine which he wore today,

Sat and watched Doctor Who tonight, was a good finale, but it is too long to wait until christmas for the next one!!

enjoyed today and going back to the beach tommorrow - but going to exmouth instead after shooting :)

night night all xxooxx

Weight in on Wednesday :)

Weighed in at Dix's Field Church tonight... lost 1.5lbs again this week, which is brilliant :) I am so fired up and ready to go this week :) I am starting to really see the difference in my body, I dont have so many back fat rolls!

Got two job interviews tommrrow so off to bed now cos I need to try and get some sleep.

Just looked on the lottery website and I think the ticket that my Nan bought for me earlier just got me £10!! woopwoop. Loving it. Gotta check in the morning though :)

Speak tommorrow amigos xxx

Two posts in one day!

:) Just to let you know that I ate all my points and me and Jase had a gorgeous walk along the beach this evening, and just about to go to bed.

My Monday interview go moved to Thursday morning - hopefully they want me!

Sami xx

Well what Can I say..

.. I have been a bit cr*p at blogging lately, just been so much going on and everything has been a bit hectic. My birthday etc was a fab time, but I kinda have been naughty on the food side for the past 2 weeks, but I am back on track as of yesterday, and I will stick to it this time. I have just been a bit depressed and stressed out trying to find a job.

Had my second interview at Sungift Solar, and then they finally called me back to say that I did not have enough experience for them, so back to square one on the job front.

But I have an intreview this afternoon, another on thursday, and another next monday - which is good news I hope, one of them has to come through, right?!

I am going to go to this one today and then I am going to spend the night at Jase's. Jase started his new job yesterday, and I think that he is enjoying it, but a bit knackered I think. Specially because he starts at 7.30am!! Still, early finish which is good.

Missing him so much now that we are not living together all the time. Hope that once we have a job each and have earned some money that we will be trying to get a place together. :) Not sure yet at the moment though.

Bedroom looks lovely and loving the new furniture, but I still need to get rid of this triple canvas wardrobe as it is in the way and I cant do anything until it has gone! It is so hot at the moment, but I am trying not to open the windows because my hayfever has been so so so bad lately.

Went to Dunster on Sunday and saw Chris :) Yay! Was so nice to see him, miss him so much :( Cant wait for him to come down and stay. Its hard when your best friend lives so far away and you cant see them every week :(

I am going to try my best to keep bloggin again, now I am back on the diet I think that it will help me keep on track. Just hope that I havent put too much weight on over the last two weeks. I stayed the same last week, so I have my fingers crossed.

Trying to make myself feel more ladylike, so I have painted my nails, moisturised and lightly tanned my legs. Hopefully this will help to improve my mood, but the sunshine is working wonders, I feel a lot happier because of it :)

Jase waxed my legs the other day... he took so much pleasure in doing it, but he actually did quite a good job, bless him :)

Right I dont think I have anything else left to say at the moment, that is all that has happened over the past week or so I think. Thank-you for your donations, please keep them coming :)

Last day of housesitting :(

Woke up this morning and didnt want to get out of bed. But got up in the end, and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, tidied up a bit, and sorted out the washing piles. Havent swept or hoovered yet, but I will have to do that in the morning, as Liz is going to be back about midday tommrrow.

Jase built my wardrobe today, so will try and sort out all of our clothes and that tommorrow. Cant wait to have it all done and everything tidy - will be fabulous :)

Went out with Katrina to see 'Letters to Juliet' in Newton Abbot tonight, and Jase stayed with the boys in Chudleigh. I think that they had a good time, I certainly did :) Thank-you Katrina!!

Getting a bit tired now, and still have a bit to do before I goto sleep.

Thanx for readin, speak to you all soon

Sami xx

Weigh in tonight, and what a surprise..

.. well I pigged out all week due to it being my bday and me being so completely and utterly depressed for half the week - and I didnt lose or gain any weight this week, which I was really surprised about. I was preparing myself for a 1-2lb gain this week, and when I stepped on the scales, it was the same. I am so relieved. So I am back on the healthy band wagon and I will be sticking to my points this week EVERY SINGLE DAY SAMI!!

Job Interview went OK this morning, hopefully I will hear whether I got the job or not tommorrow. Jase got a day working with Pro-arb tommorrow, so hopefully they will be able to offer him a full time job as well. The boss only lives a couple doors down from me which is well weird, but good :)

Just made Jase some chicken salad sandwiches to take to work with him tommorrow, and I hope that he shines and gets the job :)

I dont know what I am going to be doing tommorrow, just bits of housework I guess, and I think that I am going to re-do my CV now I have the pointers. Heard back from the job centre today so I will know about my claim soon hopefully.

Jase needs an early night tonight because he has a 6 am start, so we are off to bed any minute now.

Will let you know as soon as I know whether I have the job or not, will make such a difference to us I think :)

Night night all,
and PLEASE keep donating!!

Depressed

just so depressed today.

night night all xx

Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeee :)

:) Hello all, first I just want to say a big thank-you to everyone who text/messaged/fbooked me to say a happy birthday :) really meant a lot and is nice to know that so many people out there care :) I have had a really nice birthday which is awesome :)

woke up in the morning and laid in bed with Jase for agggges, then I got up, had some breakfast and a shower, and did my hair etc. Had to run some errands for mum in the morning because Ben's car got broken into last night so it was taken away for forensic testing. they think it was 3 13 year olds, as his wasnt the only car to try to be stolen. (by hotwiring)

so did those errands, then I came back, had some lunch and then went into town to do some shopping. saw Davina and Jane from Bingo ( Hello! ) - was lovely to catch up with them both, even though it was short :(

Bought so new clothes and just had a nice wander around the town. was fab :)

Came home and cooked dinner for Jase and myself, and then went to see Rach and Ellie, and then to see Katrina, Ryan, Brad, and Fudge .. Barry was there too - nice to meet him :)

Took the boys some doughnuts, which they loved... especially Brad ;)

Then came home after barrels of laughter, and now I am listening to the mad mad mad kittens bounding about and making tons of noise. They are running about at literlly 60 mph lol. They have discovered the comfiness of the bed now too lol

Thankyou once more, and I will write to let you know how the dinner party goes tomorrow

Love you all

Night night, sleep tight, and dont let the beds bugs bite ;)

Sami xx

Birthday tommorrow :D

Yay, its my birthday tommorrow. well excited :). I am going to get up late, and then when Jase gets to work in the garden I am going to go and do some retail therapy in town :) Cant wait. No work, and lots ofplay for tomorow :)

I am looking forward to Friday night too, as we are having a dinner party for everyone to come and celebrate my birthday :)

Work was really boring today and I couldnt wait to leave to be honest. Got Ben's birthday present though, so that's all good.. .just need to think of something to buy Jase now.

Kittens are mischevious again this evening. They are getting more and more confident which is fab :)

Farmville is done for the night so I am just going tp update WW and then curl up with Jase

Night night all :)
Thankyou for your support

17.5 lbs! woopwoop xxx

Work is dragging so much at the moment..

.. work is dragging so much at the moment, I am so glad that tommorrow might be my last day. He is so annoying some times. I just wish that he could keep things up to date with the buisness and then we would not have any angry customers all the time. Oh well - i do appreciate that he has given me some work though to help me by.

Weigh in tonight was fab though. I have reached 17.5lbs loss, which is 2.5 lbs off again this week. Am so chuffed :) I am so going to reach this 3 stone mark. I am loving the way that my body is starting to change and I am wearing more of the clothing that I want to wear. I am still a size 18, but I feel so much better about it, and I know that I will lose dress sizes soon enough :)

Birthday on thursday which might be a bit tricky, but I will do it, with the help of WW desserts and sugar free jelly :)

Kittens are being lovely and noisy tonight. Liz called, just to see if everything was OK. Im having so much fun living here. Moved the dinner party to Friday night now, so that Dad can go to the meeting on Thursday night. I think me and Jase might go out to dinner instead on Thursday - dont know for sure yet though.

Am going to finish off my farmville for the night, and then look at my replies on WW forums, and then I am going to cuddle up in bed with jase. bit worried that my thigh keeps spasming all the time :/

Thankyou for your donations,
please keep giving

Lots of love

Second Day and Loving it :)

I am loving the independence and the fun of having our own house. It is nice to be able to cook your meals and chill out and not have to worry about anyone else.

Went for my job interview this morning - everything was going fine and then I got lost! Ended up 15 minutes late to the interview, but I did phone ahead and they were fine about it. Thought it went really well, and they really liked me.

Came back and did some shopping with Jase down the Range and in town. Bought the kittys a scratching pole and some catnip balls - they didnt seem very interested at first, but they are getting used to playing with it.

Cooked chicken stir fry for dinner, and cooked noodles for the first time - that was an experience in itself lol.

Kittens have been quite playful today and seem to love the cover on our bed :) However, when introduced to Mavis she hissed loudly and they ran away - not the best of friends after all!

Chilled out and watched NCIS and other bits on TV this evening, and now about to cuddle up in bed with Jase.

Used all my points today and some of the saved ones from yesterday and the day before.

Its peeing down with rain, so I dont know whether I will get to sleep straight away. Probably though :)

Night night all <3 xx

p.s. BIG THANKYOU TO ROGER SPICER WHO DONATED £25.00 + G/A EARLIER :) thankyou so much x

First full day of house-sitting..

..Mavis woke us up at 5.45 am this morning... not happy, she wanted to be fed and then let out of the house. So I got up and fed her, opened the cat flap, and then went back to bed. Got about 4 hours sleep last night.

Kittens have been a lot more playful today - both of them have got out and played with us, not to stroking stage confidently yet though, but still, its an improvement and hopefully will be better by the end of the 2 weeks..

Me and Jase got up and went to Tesco to do some shopping, came back, ate some lunch and then finished off Daryn's accounts. We then drove to Exmouth to drop them back and had an icecream in the shop. Mini Milk - 0.5 points :D yay! Was nice lol. Jase has been playing with the kittens all evening which is cute.

I cooked him indian for tea, and I had pasta :) We then sat and watched Doctor Who - it was a brilliant episode... best so far I think :)

Sat and watched tv for a bit, and now I am typing and Jase is playing with the kittens. Must say - cat poo STINKS lol.

Job interview tommorrow - hope it goes well and I get the job, will let you know though.

Night night all, and thank-you for donating as much as you can - I still need to raise over £200 more though! Please help!

Lots of love

A day in the sunshine, doing jobs at Nanny's house...

.. was quite nice tbh, apart from the hayfever side. Jase dug over all the patch for the runner beans, and made it bigger too. And then we put up the runner bean canes.

Nannie made us sweet and sour chicken for dinner, which was lovely :) and tuna and cucumber rolls for lunch which were delicious!

Me and Nan went out in to town for a bit in the morning, and then we went out to copplestone to pick up some fitted sheets in the aftenoon, afetr we had had lunch. Was nice to spend some time with her, now that she is not back in Cornwall all the time. They are coming over for dinner on thursday night which should be nice. As it will be my 20th birthday, and I thought I would have a dinner party in the house that I am housesittin for the next two weeks with Jase.

The kittens and Mavis the cat are fun to play with, but we need to get the kittens much more confident as they are very shy.

Ate all my points today, and I have been really good this week, so I hope that my weigh in is good this week on Tuesday.

Just going to check my email, and then I am going to snuggle up with Jase in this lovely soft and warm bed :)

Night night all xxx

p.s. Chris - dont worry about anything, you have done nothing wrong, and everyone who counts knows that. Love you hun xx

Today at work...

... was OK as I was only in from 10 - 2. Picked up Daryn's accounts this morning, and we started them this evening :)

Birthday on Thursday :D YAYAYAYAY!!!

Going over to Nan's tommorrow to get some bits and for Jase to do the garden.

Watching New Tricks now and then going to cuddle up with Jase

Sorry it is very short tonight. :)

Sami xx

No work today..

.. woke up this morning and felt a bit crappy to be honest, so I called in and I didnt go to work. Going in tommorrow early, and then I will go in for a few hours on Friday. Jase had his job interview and he got the job :) but cant start until he has done courses... which only start in July :( so thats a bit rubbish, but it is still a job at least :) some security for the future..

Had a nice day with Jase today - cooked two sponges, and two batches of little cakes. Was good fun.

Went to the job centre this afternoon for a back to work session, and going to do some research on some bits they brought up, which might help my job hunt. Was worth going I suppose. 50 mins was a bit excessive though and there was this really annoying tramp in there :/ who kept coughing :/

Right, I am off to bed now because Jase is bored. 0.5 points left today, but an going to save them. lol

Night night all xxx

Weigh In Tonight.

Well I knew that I had been a bad girl this week, and to be honest I am glad that I lost something tonight, even if it was only half a pound. I am looking at it in the light that that is half a pound closer to my goal of 3 stone. Trying to keep positive. Slow bu steady as they say.

Day has been kind of shit, work was not very good and I didnt wanna stay in there today to be honest. Going in there at 9 tommorrow till 2 and then I have got to get back for a 'back to work session' at the jobcentre at 3pm. Dont know how long that is going to last for. Oh well.

Just wanted to say a big hey to Rach =], thank-you for reading and worrying when I wasn't blogging. I am all back on track now (even though your son is sulking because he is not getting attention at the moment lol). It was nice to have that talk with you yesterday, and you made me realise that I can do it, and that I could not do it without you. You give me tha drive and the determination to do it week in week out, so thankyou, thankyou from the bottom of my heart. I dont know what I would do without you. Cant wait to see you again - and you have no excuse not to contact me all the time now :P email and text :D teehee

Anyways, I have got to fill in my tracker for diner this evening, and then I am going to collaspe into bed with Jase as I have an early start, and he has this job interview tomorrow - which I know he will wow them :). Love you so much darling <3

Night night all, and I will speak to you again soon to moan about how hungry I am and how slowly the weight is coming off :)

Sami xxx

p.s. MOUSE - MOVE OFF MUMMY'S PILLOW TONIGHT!! LOL

Sorry it has been so long..

My life has been so hectic lately. The builders and the decorator have been working really hard, and my room is all but done now. We have started puttin gall of the furniture back in it, and I have ordered a new wardrobe and chest of drawers. Need to get a new computer chair I think as the old one is too big and I dont like it any more.

Work has been super busy and I have been putting loads of systems and trying to get him back on track - it is starting to work though (I hope)

The double FITA at exmouth went really well last weekend and I finished the results of last night, so that is all good and done, and I just have to send off the booklet now.

I have been applying for lots of jobs and hopefully something comes back good for me, because I love the job in Exmouth but I need more hours, and I would like to travel less.

But what you all want to know is how the weight loss is going.

Welll!!!!! I made it to the stone last week :D woopwoop. So far it is one stone and half a pound.

I have had a bit of a bad week this week though. I just havent felt like I have been 'dieting' and I have been a bit down.

Anyways, on wards and upwards. Going to finish off the rest of this booklet and my job applications and then I will be getting an early night tonight because we have the Carboot sale at Exmouth tomorrow morning.

Speak to you again soon - I PROMISE.

Ciao for now, and thankyou for everything so far

Sami xxx

woopwoop :D 1lb to go..

What a lot of cr*p..

.. am currently watching the derren brown program and it is completely rubbish.There is no way that they can make people see.

Was a bit of a busy day today, went to the opticians and got my eyes tested, and also finished off the Cobalt study. Didnt realise that it had been a year now! Was nice to help them though, and look forward to seeing the results in a year or so's time.

The brownie went down well i think :) Will ask them tomorrow

I have got work in the morning, am so tired I am going to finish watching this rubbish, and then I am going to go to sleep.

Night night all. Please keep donating xxx

Day of doing nothing :) Yay!!

Woke up this morning and cuddled up with Jase a bit, and then we had breakfast and watched tv for most of the morning and over lunch. When Jase went home, I got dressed and went to Tesco, and bought the stuff to cook brownies with.
I dropped off the ingredients with mum and then went into town and got my hari cut for £9. It is really nice and he did a good job :). He was French :) lol

Came home and made the brownies for the builders and then made myself Quorn bolognaise without the spaghetti - as everyone else was eating from the chip shop. We all sat and watched Doctor Who whilst we ate dinner, and I really enjoyed it :) Was a very good episode.

Sat and watched CSI and Flashfoward this evening, and now I am just chilling out on the sofa in my pj's with 'most shocking' on tv, and playing on farmville :)

Off to sleep now, night night all xxx

Another day..

...and it was a tiring one again. Got up this morning (after picking up my Uncle from in town last night), got dressed, had a cup of tea, made the builders some tea and then went off to work.

Did a lot of paperwork and made loads of phonecalls, invoices and made up some trophies and medals for Exmouth Town Ladies FC. Came home and went to the Job centre to sign on. Then went and picked up grandad's prescription. Then came home and made a green cake for Phil's bday tomorrow.

The builders declared their love for me ;) Dont know whether I want Pedro, Sid or Lewis though :) haha they are all gorgeous :) Not as gorgeous as my sexy boyfriend though :P Love you dear <3

Then I prepared dinner and Jase came over. Just slobbed on the sofa since :P

Looking forward to the weigh in on tuesday :)

Thankyou for donations so far, but please keep donating :)

Busy Week . . .

and I am really really tired :(

Sorry I havent written for the last couple of days. It has been a very busy and tiring week so far.
Yesterday I went to Uncle Brian's funeral. Was so very sad and I cried all the way through. Emma and Carol didnt cope very well and they were crying so much. I wish I could have done more for them.

Came back last night and went to Jase's house. Went to the weigh in at Tesco's down there and I have lost 3lbs this week :) So Chuffed. Thats 10lbs in total now :D

So got up this morning and went to work for the day, was ok but very vey tiring. Came back this afternoon and went to the hospital. They want to see me back in 6 weeks because my vocal chords are still red and swollen.

Speak to you soonies :)

Another day of depression...

...so bad I was in tears most of the day again. Going to have to get it sorted out soon. But cant until the week is over, as I have so much going on, and so many people to look after... no time for me at the moment.

Only got dressed and showered at about 5pm and then cried some more. I came over to Jase's this evening at about 7pm after lots of crying on the phone, and had dinner at about 9pm.

I hope I get a good nights sleep tonight, I think I am going to need it, as not going to get much sleep tomorrow and the night after.

Funeral on wednesday - not looking forward to it, but I must pay my respects for the family.

Am off to cuddle up in bed with Jase now.

Please keep donating everyone.. as you can see, I need your help

I have a cold...

.. or something like that. My nose is blocked and my throat is sore. I have been using decongestant spray.. wanted to use echinaecea but it is buried somewhere in my boxes for my room. Have such a busy week ahead of me. Mum and Dad are away, builders and decorators are in, many appointments, a funeral, a meeting, work.. I am going to be knackered by the end of this week. Then I have the weekend to 'chill out' lol. Yea right.

Went to see Nan in Crediton today as the boys were out there shooting in a competition. Had tuna salad for lunch which was nice :) Nice to see her too. Going down to cornwall on Tuesday night to go to the funeral on Wednesday. So I have got to pack tomorrow because I am going to be so busy on Tuesday it is unbelievable.

Jase went home this afternoon, so am missing him so much. Not gonna see him till Friday now :(

Am just lying on the sofa (my bed) watching tv....am going to sleep soon though.

Please keep donating.. I have come to a standstill on fundraising at the moment, need some help!! xx

Did pretty much nothing today :)

Just sat and chilled with Jase which was nice. Did go up to Tescos though and I had a mini panic attack which was a bit scary, and seeing as I am not on the meds any more, I dont know what I had one.

Me, Ben and Jase went to see Iron Man 2 at the cinema tonight - just got back. It was awesome :) Not as good as the original one, but still worth a rewatch I think. Want to go and see Robin Hood at the cinema too soon, that would be cool.

Going to see Nanny tomorrow and also nipping in to see everyone shooting at Kyrton.

Went over my points a bit today with some naughties, but I had 11 saved points from this week, so should be OK.

Am knackered now, so off to bed with my gorgeous,sexi, other half.

Night all
X x X

That relaxing day I had planned...

.. did not happen. Lol. I woke up and then rushed Nan and Grandad to the doctors for their appointments. Came back and then had a cup of tea, then went to the chemists to drop in the prescriptions, pick up milk, got to poundland in town, go to Lidl, go and pick up the prescriptions, and then 2 hours after i left, I finally returned home! Only to set to and do the dinner, after grabbing lunch which was last nights leftovers lol. Then Jase arrived, and we went to the post office and then booked my hair appointment at ID salon for next saturday. Then we came back and i sorted out my diary for the next week.

Did some more bits and pieces and had a cuddle with Jase, and then ate dinner. Went and took the bottles to the bottle bank and dropped the results around to Colin. Then I came back and topped up my washer fluid and checked my oil (exciting I know).

I am very tired now, so gonna crawl into bed with Jase.

Night night all xxx

Day Three at work..

..and I was making trophies and medals this morning :) was good fun. Worked all day, was quite busy today to be honest, and then got home and prepared dinner. Made Quorn cottage pie... was really nice :) and then I had Weight Watchers Lemon Cheesecake after which was nice.

Chilled out on the sofa and watched tv all night, and then facebooked and MSN'ed. Really nothing to write about today. Am going to Uncle Brian's funeral on Wednesday next week, so I am working Tues, Thurs, Fri next week.

Am gonna snuggle up and watch NCIS now, really missing Jase tonight... :(

Another tiring day at work...

... and I am so knackered it is hard to keep my eyes open :(.... 9.45-3.15 today,and was on my feet basically all day again. Got home and did my Farmville, caught up with a couple programmes, ate dinner, and then did all the results for DCAS Grand Day last weekend. Must email them to Tim and Mum tomorrow.

Am now curled up in bed (on the sofa) and am gonna try and get a deep nights sleep.

Sorry its a short post tonight, but I really cannot keep my eyes open much longer

Sleep well

FIRST DAY AT WORK...

:) heya all, had my first day at work today, worked 10-3, and was on my feet the whole time. Was pretty knackered by the end of the day. Sorted out some of the filing, and sorted out all of the designs for the transfers. So much of that, it took a couple hours just to do one buckets worth! Oh well, it needed doing, and it is now in alphabetical order, all tidy in a lever arch file.Hope to sort out the rest of the filing cabinets tommorrow. Started the embriodary one this afternoon, but didnt get very far before I had to leave.

I then got home and caught up on Doctor Who and Superskinny, which is good. Then I went to weight watchers where I found out I had lost 2lbs this week! Yay! This means I only have 0.5lbs to lose, and then I will be back at the weight I was before I went into hospital. Bring it on :D

Added up my total from the carboot - £31.60!! which is fab. This brings my total to £249.11, which is basically half way to my target, and that is not including pledges made by people for when I finish!

Am knackered, so I am off to sleep now.
Night night all, thankyou very much for all the donations - please keep donating!!

Car Boot Sale :)

Had the exmouth car boot sale this morning so got up at 6o'clock and got down there about 7am. got a pitch and set up, and it was icy cold. the wind was so cold and i ended up wrapping up so much I looked scary and a bit like a ninja. Lol. It was very slow buisness as there were over 160 sellers. Reckon that the club raised over £2000 today, which is a fab contriubtion towards the indoor centre!

I think I raised about £26 for Clic which is fab... not as good as last time, but definately worth going! The next one is on the next bank holiday weekend, which is only at the end of the month, so hopefully will be able to do that one and raise lots and lots of money!

Not much to say for the rest of the day as when I got home at one I then crawled into bed and slept until 7pm :P

Woke up and ate some dinner - meat free burgers, peas and chips, and then 3 squares of chocolate. Am now sat on MSN, and watching QI XL.

Start work in Exmouth tomorrow, so will let you know how that goes! Will try and add up the money I raised tomorrow to let you know the total so far!

Thankyou for all your donations - hope that you can persuade some family/friends to donate too!

Lots of hugs,


Sami xxx

p.s. Love you Jase ;)

Grand Day is here...

.. and it went well! Apart from the fact that I have a sore throat from talking so much and I wasnt as organised as I had hoped. Everyone enjoyed themselves I think though, so that was a bonus.

Woke up this morning and have pretty much been non stop all day, so when I collasped in the chair at home at nealy 8 oclock I decided that I could treat myself to chinese. But I had beef cooked with fresh tomatoes, which when I looked on the weight watchers website wasnt actually that bad in points, and I had enough points to spare for that today which is good.

I want to thank everyone who donated today - it really means a lot to me and to the charity. I have raised £217.51 out of my £500 target so far, and that is the money collected, not including the money I have pledged from other people too.

Getting up early in the morning as we have the next Exmouth Archers car boot sale - where I am doing a stall for Clic again, so hopefully will get rid of some more rubbish and raise some more cash for the charity to add to the pot :)

So as I am up about 6.00am in the morning I am going to bid you all good night, and I will write again tommorrow to let you know how I get on.

Thankyou once more, and please keep donating.

Grand Day is coming...

... and I have so much left to do! Boards need writing up tomorrow and I need to do the target list... oh well..

got trophies and newsletter done and stapled tonight so thats good.

Signed on again today, and got my first payment through the other day so that is all good.

Jase over 2night, so I cooked some WW food for dinner. Then went up the field to check the layout is all good - they are all organised which is good.

I have saved 1.5 points today :)

Off to bed now with Jase

Vegetable curry... great idea... or so I thought...

... my stomach feels like it has a gas canister in lol... too many vegetables I think :P lol

Apart from that it has been a bit of an odd day to be honest. Came home from Jase's house this morning to find out that my uncle passed away last night. RIP Uncle Brian. He was only diagnosed with cancer last week... but it had spread to the whole of his body and he gave up his valiant fight last night at 11.30pm. I didnt get to say goodbye =[

Missing Jase today, but if its raining he will come over early instead of working tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing him :) cant wait for a cuddle.

Sat watching the tv tonight, cos I am tired, so I am going to snuggle up on the sofa under the duvet and drift off in a bit i think...

Diet is hard at the moment when I have put on weight, and I need some more motivation and try and stop feeling so depressed. Hope this increase of antidepressants will start to help soon.

Finished my antibiotics today though which is good.

Please keep donating, I need you guys to help me through this bad patch xx

Trip to Quicks..

Hello all. Not much to say today to be honest. Just went over to Quicks and got some stuff for Dad, but when I got back it happened to be the wrong stuff... typical.

Went to the doctors this evening, and he reviewed my medication. As I am not coping with anything much at the moment, we have decided to double my antidepressant medication to see if this will help me cope a bit more. We will see.

Uncle Brian is really not good, dont think that he will be around for much longer, but fingers crossed that a miracle will happen for him. Poor Emma and Carol. =[

Nanny, Granfer and Carol came over this afternoon after visiting and then stayed for dinner which was really nice.

Found out that I put on 2.5lbs over the two weeks I was in hospital this time..=[ so I have got to lose that =[

Im gonna curl up in bed now... well on the sofa xx night xx

Feeling so much better today :)

Heya all, hope you are all ok. Just to let you know that I am back on the diet and I am feeling a lot better today. Woke up after an uncomfortable night on the sofa, and then I had breakfast and a shower and got dressed.

Me and mum went up Tesco this morning as I thought that that would be the easiest way to get back out into the public, and I didnt have a panic attack, so I am pleased. It was those pills that I was on, which made me so ill. They shouldnt have given them to me as they shouldnt be taken with my current medication. Not good.

Then came back and had some lunch and did some bits and pieces around the house, and then went out to the bank to transfer some money. Which reminds me, I must transfer that extra money out into the charity account =]

Anyways, then I came back and Aunty Carol and Emma were here, and we had tea and a chat with them and Nanny and Grandad before they went to visit Brian in hospital. Hope his operation went well and his chemo is going to work well and he gets more time with us. Never been close to him, but it is sad to hear someone in your family has terminal cancer.

When they left we went up to the Post Office to see Paul and Penny. Was nice to say hi to them. Then came back and did all the vegetables for dinner. Caught up on some more programmes - Flash Forward this time. I am all up to date now which is fab :)

Enjoyed tea tonight :) Chicken with brocolli, cauliflower and carrot, mash. Used all my points tonight though :/ which is a bit annoying as I am hungry . Might have an apple though.

Just chilling out on the sofa now. Just did my farmville :)

Am going to get my PJs from upstairs in a bit and then snuggle up in bed - well on the floor. lol

thnkyu all for your donations so far, please keep donating.

Love you all,

Night night xoxox

Still feeling like rubbish today,,,

Not done much today to be honest, still dont feel like doing much at all. Woke up with Jase and had some breakfast. Then just slobbed around and watched TV all day cos I havent felt like I could do much to be honest. Caught up on all the Doctor Who episodes so far, which was good.

Sleeping in the lounge again tonight, as they are still doing my bedroom. and probably will for the next two weeks.

I feel a bit sh*t to be honest, and I just wanna curl up and cry. Missing Jase tonight as well, wish I could just cuddle up with him and try and feel better. Will have to go and see him during the week.

Am going to try and go back out of the house tomorrow, and see whether I dont get a panic attack this time.

Love you so much darling, missing you so much

Day with Jase today :)

Heya all. Hope you are all OK. Been a nice day today.

Woke up late, but then ate breakfast and went over to see Jase. We went into town and went for a walk and got some lunch. Was nice to do something a little bit different. We then came home and walked up the local shop to get some rizlas for his mum. Got a text from Katrina saying that she was at home, so when we got back to the house we went over to her house and had a chat and a drink with her mum and Brad.

Me and Brad had a bit of a water fight which was fun =] its lovely to play with him,he is like my adopted little brother :)

Anyways, then we got back and me and Jase had a cuddle, and I think I fell asleep as I woke up and it was 6.30 and time for his dinner. So I came home and ate my dinner, got xchanged into PJ's and then wrote the DCAS newsletter for May. I still need some more bits to put into it, but its good that I have made a start.

I have a job interview with Joe in Exmouth tomorrow, which I am very excited about.

Going to go to bed in a bit, there is nothing on TV, so I think I am going to sit and read my book.

Went to see Grandad again today

Got up this morning and ate my breakfast, had a shower and opened the post. Lots of entries for GRAND DAY. Then me and mum drove out to Nanny's house to check the house was OK etc and water the plants and move the post. That was all fine - aprt from the plants which had been found by Harry the local neighbours cat! Lol. Then we went to Tesco in Crediton to do some shopping. Then came home and had 5 mins break before I went to the Tesco in Exeter to try and get some sponsorship. They gave me an address to write to, which I did this evening and will post tomorrow. Then I went to see Grandad in hospital, and to pick up Nanny. We watched him eat dinner, and then we left whilst he was still happy.

Came home and was helping a friend edit some pictures that he had taken. I have a critical eye apparently (I am taking this as a complement lol). He would like me to be his editing assistant! And then I made some phoncalls and wrote some letters. Still didnt do the hoovering or the DCAS Newsletter.

MUST DO IT TOMORROW... like i said yesterday lol

Am getting knackered now, so wont be too long before I go to bed lol

Night night all,

-> DCAS newsletter

Nothing much to report about today, took Nan into town and did some shopping, and then came home and did some jobs. went to the job centre and came back. had a job offer for 3 days in Exmouth but i dont know if i am going to take it because its a long way away and i kinda want a full time job in exeter, but i have emailed him with my concerns, so i will wait and see what he says. ah right, that reminds me, need to go to whipton doctors tomrrow. lol

..oh bumm... 4 things now...

Exmouth and other adventures...

Woke up this morning with Jase and had a nice breakfast - well I did, I might have burnt his teacakes.. lol. Then had a shower and did some small jobs, and then had some lunch. When Jase went home I then went to my meeting in Exmouth, where Joe was lovely, and got a catalogue to cost the products I want producing for DCAS. Then I went to the club to put up posters and letters on the boards. Then I drove back to Exeter where I got stuck behind some driver who shouldnt have a licence! Went to St Thomas to do shopping bits and pieces, and got Nanny's birthday present as well as paid off the money I owed mum.

Came back and was shattered, so I had a half hour sleep - which lasted for 3 hours.. :(, so I had dinner and now I am very very behind with the jobs I have to do. Guess they wont be getting done tonight though. Lol.

Off to do some of them now.
Finished eating all the cookies I made the other day - yummy :) 0.5 point each :D

Night

Sami xx

Sorry I didnt post yesterday

Sorry I didnt post yesterday - was Dad;'s birthday and I was shattered after doing food and jobs all day, and then going to weight watchers,and then everyone didnt leave till 9.30pm last night, by which time I was ready to collapse into bed. :)

Today was much the same, running around doing bits and pieces. Had to be scoped this morning by the consultant, and then he signed me off from hospital, and said I should get my voice back within a month. which is good. OOOOH BTW, forgot to mention I lost another 1.5lb at weight watchers weigh in last night, which I was well chuffed about!! woopwoop!! first silver seven! anyways.. lol

then I went to the job centre and sorted out jobseekers allowance, and then I came back and did some more job work. Then me and Jase went and delieverd letters out to people, and came back, ate tea, and then played on the Wii with Ben for the evening. its 9.10pm now, and I am knackered. Jase is already in bed, so I am off to join him.

Night night everyone,
Speak to you tomorrow, after a busy busy busy day!

Grandad is in hospital..

Grandad got taken into hospital last night after his legs and feet have become swollen again. Went to see him this afternoon, and he doesnt know what to say, or rather, cannot string many words together to make a coherent sentence.

Woke up this morning and found out, and then after cuddles with Jase for a while I came home and had some lunch and a shower. Then I went to the hospital, and then took mum to the post office, and then went to Lidl, and then picked Nanny up from the hospital, and then droppped her home, and then went to Katrinas for a natter.

Was nice to see her again, and catch up on all the goss and what has been happening with Brad. He looked a bit pale today, but loved the easter egg I brought him, and the fact that I bought him an ice lolly from the ice cream van which turned his mouth bright blue! Monkey!

Anyways, time flew by, and I got home at about 8.20, and then ate my dinner, and did farmville, replied to emails, re-did my schedule for tommorrow (DAD IS 50 YEARS OLD TOMORROW!), and then I have just settled down to write my blog. I am so tired today, has been a bit non stop.

I hope that I get a good night's sleep, seeing as tomorrow promises to be just as busy a day as today.

Missing Jase tonight, really want a cuddle

Night night all, I am getting old and tired

Love Sami xx

Summer sunshine..

Had a nice day with Jase today. Had a lazy morning in bed and then went out to Paignton with Jase and ate a picnic lunch on the green. Then we went to the hospital to visit Granny who is not very well, and met up with Jase's dad and Hien. Was nice to see them again. We sat with Julie for 2 hours and then we came back to the house and ate a gorgeous roast dinner (pork) and gorgeous jelly and youghurt dessert, which I am going to make when I get home tommorrow!!

I saved one point today, and I am really looking forward to the weigh in on tuesday. It is Dad's birthday on Tuesday so I wont be able to stay for the meeting again , but it will be nice to touch base with my leader and see how well I have done this week.

Just want to give a big shout out to everyone that is supporting me, and ask you all please to donate as much as you can

Thankyou All

Speak to you tomorrow

Did the shopping today...

Went to Tescos with mum this morning and did the weekly food shop. Then I came over to Jase's and had a lovely tea (fish and chips and peas) cooked by his lovely mummy.

I really havent done much today im sad to say. Stuck to my points again though, and have 1.5 left for today, no snacks to eat them up with though. Forgot to bring thwm with me, and Jase doesnt want to go to Asda, so I guess they will get saved. Hope I lose 2lbs this week!

Please keep sponsoring

Such a productive day today. :)

Had such a productive day today, got tons od stuff done. Did all the notes from the last committee meeting, sorted out some stuff for the next car boot sale, tidied and cleaned up my room a bit, and loads of other bits and bobs like arranging appointments.

Missing Jase today though, which is a bit CR*P. was going to go and see him this evening, but he had stuff to do, so I am going to go and see him tommorrow instead. I am going to do the Tesco shop with Mumma in the morning, and then do the couple of bits around the house and then go over and spend some time with him i guess.

Am chilling out in my room with candles and music on at the moment, and alos on msn, farmville and fbook. I was hungry, so i went downstairs to the fridge and got some carrots sticks out. i felt really good for doing that :)

going to snuggle down in bed with my teddybear :) and start a new book I think. Finished my sisters keeper last night, and it was so sad it was unbelievable. recommend it to everyone, and have given it to mum to read.

hope you all have a good nights sleep

I am going to do the best I can this week and really try really hard. am going to try and increase my exercise as much as I can too, as I have been really tired and lazy this week because I havent been feeling too good. i lost the 1 and a half pounds that I put on with being in hospital last week so I am pleased, and I hope to lose again this week so I get my first silver seven


went back to the doctors this morning and got another lot of antibiotics becuase my throat is still not better and i have another week until i see the consultant at the hospital.

What a tiring day !!

Heya all.
Woke up this morning at 5.30am to go to Exmouth Archers carboot sale and it was cold and freezing. I was running a stall today, not marshalling like normal. I was doing a charity stall to raise money to go towards Clic and my weight loss challenge. Got there and sold lots of things and packed away about midday.

In the end I raised £53.20 for Clic :) Which is not bad for a mornings work, and it got rid of a lot of old rubbish from our house too! Will be going to all the other Exmouth one's and hopefully raising some more money. Going to dig out lots more junk that we can get rid of and try and make as much money as possible.


Have my weigh in tomorrow evening, and I am a bit nervous about it as I am still ill, but I have been following the diet, but exercise has not been so easy :(

MIssing Jase as well so that is not helping me to be honest :(

Slept all afternoon and then woek up and ate dinner which was gammon steak, new pots and salad, which was nice, and then I had some petit filous too :)

I have just harvested some crops on my Farmville, and I think I am going to settle down in bed and watch some TV or something like that as I dont really have anything left to do tonight now I have written my blog.

My throat is really sore again though so I will have to take some painkillers soon :(

Anyways, speak to you all tomorrow

Lots of Love

p.s. Saw Mabel today - she looks radiant, and I hope she has baby on my bday!!

One word...

DEPRESSSED
=[ x

Morning!!

Heya, just woke up after a fab nights sleep and jase brought me breakfast in bed this morning - weetabix and skimmed milk , and an alpen light bar, with my huge mug of tea :)

just sorted out my farm again, and it is looking a lot better now. I know that some of you out there will be sighing at this and telling me not to waste my time on a game on the internet, but i think that this is much better than sitting and doing nothing, or eating something? it is keeping my brain and my hands busy so i am not think about food or eating it. i cannot do much exercise at the moment, so I am getting just a tincy bit bored of this whole illness thing!

going to get up and get dressed in a minute and steal a cuddle or two off of Jase

Hope you are all well and have a good day today

LOL


Sami xx

Welcome back to reality...

Finally starting to get back to normal now.. feeling a lot better and can manage a bit of exercise but not the amount that I was before. Stayed at Jase's last night and was so knackered that I forgot to blog. Nipped home this morning with Jase to pick up some spare clothes and have a shower and then came back. Went to Asda with Rach and Ellie - which was fun :P lol :) and then I played bowling with them for the rest of the afternoon. This evening I had a WW pizza for dinner and then some peas :) and a toffee and honeycomb dessert (WW) - was nice. Then Ellie made me have some brownie to use up all my points :P

I just harvested all my crops on Fville :P and now i am going to cuddle up in bed with Jase and try and get another good nights sleep. Might watch twilight, but unsure yet.

Hope you are all well, I hope I lose weight this week as well!!

Speak tomorrow

Getting better slowly...

Heya guys,

Hello all..

Heya. had another uncomfortable day today. can hardly swallow, but managed to eat all my points today, and managed a walk in town with Jase earlier so that was nice. Went to Jase's work to pick up a cheque and met THE CUTEST little boy ever!! so jealous!! i want one!!! whish i had stolen a hug from him now!

Then we went back and said hey to Jase's mum and Paul and I was trying to talk to her with no voice. lol. didnt quite work. Had an afternoon nap this afternoon which recharged my batteries a bit, but woke up with an uber sore throat so have dosed myself up on pain killers.

Hope i dont put on any weight this week - will be gutted if i have. i would have liked to lose 1/2lbs really.

Im gonna try and take some photos and post them up on here soon for you all to see

Please keep donating :)

Love you all

sami xxx

damn throat.. again

Yes, that;s right, I have another viral throat infection and can hardly move or swallow. so that kinda limits me to the foods that i can eat, as it is too painful to chew,and hurts to swallow anything large and unrunny.

soup and icecream for tea it is then... lol


have been asleep all afternoon so I really dont have anything to write about today. jase went home this morning which i am gutted about because i could really really do with a cuddle right now.

oh well, see him soon probs =]

i will write again tommrow probably because i feel just like curling up and ceasing to be write now. please keep donating... it is slow at the moment :(


thankyou all

Sunday's blog/...

Apologies for not bloggin yesterday, was a bit of a cr*p day to be honest with you. woke up at 1pm after going out clubbing with Jase and Char the night before which was good fun. Then me and Jase had breakfast and then went for 2 and a hlaf hour walk along th quay in the sunshine which was fab. But I just felt so depressed yesterday it was unreal. Just cried all day basically, even when we were out walking, even though Jase didnt notice.
Was going to go out to dinner with Mumma - but she said ' what do you want', kinda upset me a bit as I said I was paying as her birthday treat cos I didnt know what else to get her. But in the end I really didnt feel like it, cos i felt like death warmed up and so I went and stayed at Jase's in the end. Bit of comfort food made me feel a bit better, and then I curled up in bed early, and went to sleep - hence why i didnt blog.

Feel much better this morning, and happy because Jase has got the day off so we can spend some time toegther which is fab :)

will speak to you guys again later

The meeting from hell..

What a day... what else can I say... meeting from hell this afternoon. Sometimes I think that they are a waste of time. Did manage to get 4 pledges of money though which is fab so I am slowly raising the moeny that I wanted to!

Ate all my points today again - but that did include 10 points for a tesco sandwich.

Am sposed to be going out tonight, but bf just turned around and said that he didnt wanna go so I dont know what to do now.. pretty upset tbh. needless to say - if we are going out then I will need to do my makeup again as it is all the way down my face :(

why is nothing easy for me?... hope I have lost some weight this week to make it all worth it..

have a good one all.. i dont know whether to go to bed now or go out :/ this is what my sat nights have been reduced to..


Sami xx

p.s. please keep sponsoring x

I ate all my points today :D - hope your proud Rach!

Yes I did it. I ate all my points today, and I burned off 2.5 points worth too.

Had weetabix for breakfast
Had marmite on toast for lunch
Had homemade beer and beef stew with jacket potato and kale for dinner
Had homemade rhubarb and apple crumble with reduced fat custard for dessert

Loving the menu today, really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to cook something new for dinner tomorrow! Loving the cook book - thankyou for lending it to me Rach (my mumma in law =]) and for being so supportive and giving me the pedometer and the calculator as well as letting me read countless magazines and giving me tips!

Been out and about most of the day doing shopping and bits and pieces with mumma, but have played on the Wii for a bit too.

Hope you are all well,

I am going to snuggle up in bed with my other half now, maybe catch some tv or watch a bit of sport relief. Thankyou to all that have donated, but please please please keep doing it!

Night


Sami xxxoxoxx

Yo :D

Morning...


now.. what to have for breakfast??


Hmm :D

Day two of the diet...

Ok I am really struggling to eat my points again today! At the moment I have 6 left, and that only because I had scrambled egg on toast half an hour ago! Gonna have to eat some chocolate or something. Day has been OK. Didnt do much today, fancied a lazy day which was great =]

Staying at Jase's house tonight,

am pretty tired to behonest, even though I have done sod all today. lol.

Just wanted to do a big shout out to all of my friends on the WW forums! thankyou for donating :)


Speak to you all tomorrow

sweet dreams xxxx

Good morning all!

Hello, and welcome back to my blog page! Just wanted to say a good morning. Got up this morning and made Jase his breakfast and his packed lunch. I had a cup of tea with skimmed milk. I havent had breakfast yet - not really hungry, but will have it in a bit i think. I dont know what to have yet though.

Hope you are all OK this morning. I am going to do some jobs around the house, and then go and shoot up the range for a bit, and then probably go and give blood, and then go and stay the night at Jase's house tonight :) Will be nice to see his mumma :D

Speak to you all later


Sami xx

First day on the diet and it is looking good =]

Well, I struggled to eat all of my points today! I am on 28 at the moment, and I had to eat some chocolate cake in order to use them up! What a shame eh! They say that it is very important to eat your points everyday, because it is all to do with metabolism, and all that, so you musnt undereat regularly. I am looking forward to trying some new bits tomorrow. Have been looking at points values of lots of things, and have booked some WW mags and a cookbook off of Jay's mum - she is on it too. Big thankyou to her for the calculator that she has given me for WW.
Played on the Wii for about and hour and a half today - my fav game on the sports resort is the sword fighting, and I get RIGHT into it, not just using my arms lol. I think that is it better that way :)

Tonight I cooked Jay and me dinner:
Roast peppers
Butternut squash chips
Peas
Chicken breast ( for him) and 2 quorn fillet (for me)

I then had some birthday cake and a WW pudding for pudding whilst Jay ate and entire tub of profiteroles. He is being really supportive about this whole diet. I love him to bits. One thing I have noticed is that I am experiencing a lot of gas :/ is this worrying? lol

Anyways, on that thought I am going to say good night

Speak to you all tomorrow.

wii..

currently watching dad play the wii... FUNNY AS!! xx

oops...

Just had it pointed out to me that my starting weight cant be right because of the number of pounds in a stone.. and as I cant go back and check my starting weight I am a little bit confused. But riding on the good wave of energy that I have at the moment, I am not going to dwell on this, however annoyed I am that I will never know exactly how much I lost.
However,
for the purposes of this fundraiser I will therefore use the starting weight that I have at WW which is 16,11.

Thankyou to those who spotted that.... I am truly living up to my blonde nature..x x xxppxx

First Weight Watchers Meeting went with a bang :D

O-M-F-G. I loved it. It was brilliant. The whole atmosphere was positive and everyone wanted to spur everyone along with their weight loss. I went in and got weight, and my new weight after this week is 16 stone 11lbs - apologies to the people that I said it was 8lbs, I was wrong, was only 4 lbs, but that is still good going i think! Well chuffed with that!

Went for my gym induction today and then stayed in the gym for an hour afterwards, and then went for a 15/20 mins swim, but was knackered and my arms were about to drop off, so I stopped there. I then came home and watched some NCIS with Mumma, and then I set up my Wii which had arrived! Balance board, wii speak, wii fit and just dance have not arrived yet though. and been told that the balance board might not arrive till next month which is a bit sh*t! Oh well. Then Char popped over which was nice = lovely to see her again and I needed a bit of her love and attention anyways!

Going up to Malvern to spread Great Grandad's ashes on the moors tommorrow, which will be nice, but I am not really looking forward to the car journey as I am going to be in the back and I get REALLY car sick. Oh well, see what I can do for it.

Am pretty damn knackered tonight, but that meeting has really made me keep fighting for this, and as it is a 10 mins walk there and 10 mins back, that is another 20 minutes of walking that I am going to do on a Tuesday night. Meeting is at 6.30 every week, and is held at Isca College if anyone wants to come along - it is brilliant! They have a shop there for all the WW stuff too, so you can do most of your bits and picees and some food shopping there too. I am going to get the pedometer next week!

Anyways friends, off to bedfordshire in a bit
Hope you are all well

What a lovely swim to finish the day off

Evening all my friends. Just thought I would let you know what an exciting day I had today... (not!!!) Did go a for a 45 mins swim this evening which was nice. It is so nice to be back in the water for a bit :)

Have tried to do a fitness plan to stick to now, in order to make sure I am getting some exercise throughout the week:

1 x exercise class
2 x swim (45-60 mins)
2 x gym session (45-60 mins)
1 x exercise bike session at home (20 mins)

I also plan to use the Wii fit for a minimum of 30 mins every day, so I hope that this will help :D

What did I eat today then?

For breakfast I had three slices of toast with marmite, banana and 2 petit filous
For lunch I had 3 slices of turkey with plate of salad and some lentils
For dinner I had a huge plate of mixed vegetables, and a WW mushroom pie, and a couple bits of turkey breast again. Followed this with a glass of orange juice and a WW yoghurt.

Then I went for my swim, and was STARVING, so I nipped into boots and got some granola and dried apple.... less than 100 kcals a bag and SOOOO filling!

Loved it!

Anyways, I am now snuggled up in bed after a long hard day of running about doing jobs. Big day tomorrow - gym induction, first weight watchers meeting, and even though I cant think of it now (im going senile) there is another thing in my diary too lol.


Time for sleep I think :D

Sleep well my dears

Heya, hope you are all OK. Was a good night last night, slept well last night with no nightmares. :D
I resisted the cream cake last night :D was so pleased with myself

Woke up and had 3 slices of toast with marmite, two petit filous and a banana this morning so Im lovely and full and raring to go. Have a huge list of things to do today!!! Blimey lol.

Right I am going to speak again to you later, just thought I would let you know that I havent given in. Please keep donating!!

Cream cake is the BAIN of my life...

Nan brought around a HUGE cream cake today for everyone, and I was the only person who didnt have any. They kept all saying that a small bit wouldnt hurt, but I said no thankyou, even though my heart was saying yes yes yes! Pleased I let my head rule on this one though. Really need a cuddle though - am missing Jay so much and dont know how I am going to cope this week without him. Its gonna be a tough week this week, especially Wed, as I am going up country to spread my Great Grandad's ashes on the hills with Great Nanny... gonna be a hard one I think.

I am knackered after today, doing nothing is really really tiring!! I didnt do much exercise today :( was gonna go for a swim, but it was too late in the end after Nanny and Granfer went home. Oh well - have lots to do tomorrow, and I will hopefully go for a swim tomorrow. I ordered the Wii, Wii Fit Plus and Just Dance today, so that should come within the next few days hopefully. I also reserved an exercise ball online, so that I can pick that up tomorrow. they say that it is better to sit on that instead of your computer chair cos you are constantly using your muscles to sit up straight, so I am going to try that.

Not too hungry tonight, but no doubt now I have said that I will become hungry. Oh yea, I redied my hair this afternoon - so no more roots, and I am proper blonde again now :) yay!! fumes nearly killed me though

I would just like to say a huge thankyou to all my friends that are supporting me through this, it is sosososo worth it when I see how proud people are of me for doing it, and I can promise that I will do this.

By the way I am going to be doing my final weigh in on 1st December 2010, which gives me about 7 months to lose the weight. Like I said before, I want to lose a minimum of 3 stone (ahhhh!!) but I want to lose more. I would really like you to support me through this. It nice to see comments to keep me going! I know you have to sign up for an account, but please do, it doesnt take long and it means so much to me!

I am going to snuggle up in bed in a minute because I am very knackered tonight. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONATE.

Love

Mother's Day Morning...

Morning all. Mother's Day today. Mum just opened her presents - we got her a big box of malteasers (I WANT!!!!!!!!) lol, a CSI miami board game and some rhubarb and custard. I think she was happy =]


We are just waiting for roast dinner now - looking forward to it, am starving! Having new potatoes instead of roast potatoes, which will be nice, and I hope I can steal lots and lots and lots of vegetables =]

Was really hungry last night when I went to bed, Jase was an angel though, and told me that I needed to stay strong, and I didnt go and get anything to eat. I am glad I didnt though.

I am using Orlistat, Fat Metaboliser Tablets, and I am trying some weight loss patches too which try to reduce your appetite and stop you from wanting to eat all the time. Hope they work. I am looking forward to seeing how much I have lost when I go to WW on Tuesday. =]

I had two Weetabix with skimmed milk and a banana. And then I had two frubes because I was still hungry, but that filled me up.

Just said goodbye to Jase, he has gone home to spend the dday with his Mumma. I havent seen her in a while, so would be nice to see her again soon. Talking about food I am really hungry now... I wonder when lunch will be ready lol.

Anyways, I am going for now, need to do some bits and pieces before lunch time... I have just been told that its 1 oclock lunch :( HUNGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY

Speak later my friends xoxoxoxox

Lovely day out...

Had a lovely day out today with my boyfriend in Torquay. Didnt eat any icecream or fudge or chocolate and I am very proud of myself. Treated myself to a wholemeal BLT, freshly made in front of me with only a slither of mayo, so that cant have been too bad for a lunch time dish. Had a couple goahead crisp slices too, which were nice, but I can tell you, today is the day that I have felt the hungriest! I could have eaten an elephant today. I guess it was because I was out walking all day in the fresh air? Possibly? Mothers Day tomorrow, so I wont be going out, but will be settling down to a nice great roast dinner. Have turkey which isnt too bad, going to have some turkey breast which is lean, and then piling up with loads and loads of vegetables. Going to avoid the roast potatoes and batter puddings though :( might do myself some mash to go with it I think.

Went to Tesco's this evening with Mumma, and bought loads of healthy foods, loads of vegetables, lean meat and that sort of stuff. So hopefully it will be easier to eat a bit healthier when there is nice food in the house. Bought some WW's youghurts to give a go at, so will report back on how nice they are.

Dinner this evening was chicken breast with tomato sauce and some herby potatoes and peas, which was quite nice, however I could have eaten two or even three portions of it quite happily! Instead I filled myself up with a banana, hige handful of grapes, and a small homemade raspberry and cranberry muffin. I figured it was best to eat at least one decent meal today - seeing as I didnt have any breakfast this morning.

I am pretty knackered tonight, so slumping off to bed with the other half now. Looking forward to getting some shut eye, hope I dont have another nightmare tonight - I have to be up in the morning to make breakfast for Mumma.

Thankyou all for following me on this journey - please leave comments, cos I kinda feel like I am just going insane and talking to myself.

Hope you are all well

Sami xxx

And so the struggle continues...

Actually, to be honest, its not that bad at the moment, I am not feeling too hungry, and when I am I am eating low fat yoghurt and fruit. Going to Tesco to do the shop tonight, so going to buy loads and loads and loads of vegetables and fruit.

Didnt sleep too well last night - keep having nightmares (been about 3 weeks now) and keep waking up in the morning soaking in sweat.... eww eww eww... still, on the positive side, people go to clinics to sweat out the fat dont they - so maybe I am losing weight overnight without doing anything?! lol

I am doing some jobs around the house this morning, and then me and Jay are going to Torquay for a walk around the shops, and going to have a lick of his icecream ;)

Speak to you all later,

Sami xx

Knackered is not the word for it...

Evening all. Had a bit of a boring day today. Woke up and had my breakfast as you all know.. but the microwave decided it wanted more of my breakfast than I did..for those of you that know me pretty well, you will know that me and microwaves simply do not go! (blew it up twice, set kitchen up into smoke, regularly place metal in it...)

But I got on with the day and went to the lesiure centre to get this free 7 day pass.. but when i got there, she wasnt ready, and she was pretty damn rude tbh. Anyways, after 30 mins I got the pass, and booked my induction for 12.30 on Tuesday. Am looking forward to this. :)

So I didnt get to use the gym or go swimming today, but still a step in the right direction.

I then went and did some jobs for mum, and stopped in at Clic Sargent in St Thomas. They gave me some telephone numbers in order to get some fundraising kit which I will call about on Monday. Also found out that CS is Tescos charity of the year, so making an appointment to see the mananger at Exeter's one tommorrow hopefully.

Then I got home and baked fresh brown rolls, cranberry and raspberry muffins, and some prune crunch - had a use up of all the older stuff in the cupboards ready for the new diet starting Tuesday! Very very excited. WW forums are really interesting to read, and there are some good recipie ideas on there too :)

I am really grateful for those who have joined my blog, and hope that everyone will donate something - even if it is 10p or £10.. it all helps. I am trying to get sponsorship too (dont remember if i have written that before lol )

Anyways, I am going off to bed now, bf is over and he is supporting me wholeheartdly, which is FAB. couldnt do it without the people who are looking out for me. Please please please email this blog to anyone you know, I dont mind if they dont know me, because it is all about the charity... not about me.

Thankyou all once more, and I will speak to you some time tomorrow

Lots of love

Sami xx

Morning all =]

Morning, its 11oclock and I have just woken up - but no I am not lazy, I just struggle to wake up when I am asleep. Lol. But its a nuisance because that is half of the day wasted. I have an appointment with a gym today so that should be fun I hope. Going to take my kit with me and see if they let me use it starting today. Boyfriend is coming over this evening, so I have to find something nice for dinner tonight.

Good news is that family have pretty much said that they will support me through this, and probably eat all of the meals for it too... as long as it is 'edible' apprently.... thanx mum... lol

Going to go and make myself a nice bucket of tea now, and a bowl of porridge. Sounds good to me.

Pleae donate everyone! I wanna raise lots of money for this charity. Which reminds me - I need to go and get a fundraising pack from them later!

Speak later no doubt!

Sami xx

Sorry there is so many posts today!

Well, I had pasta and tuna for dinner, and then went for a 45 min swim with my brother. did lots and lots of lengths, but need to remember to take my goggles with me when I go next. We didnt stay for as long as I had hoped, but that is because he got cramp in both of his legs and couldnt move - poor lad. So we came home. Finding it mighty hard now I have done some exercise as I want to eat :( but i know that I cant otherwise that will defeat the whole object of the task.

So anyways, tomorrow I have an appointment with a gym because I have got a free 7 day pass with them, so I can go and pick it up and start using it tomorrow. Appointment is at 12.30, so I think I will take my gym kit and go to the gym after the consultation, and then I will go for a swim after if the pool is open for public swims then - need to check that out. Going to keep hunting for free passes for gymming and swimming in Exeter and nearby, and I am going to register for Weight Watchers Monthly, so that it works out a bit cheaper, and apparently I have a free starter pack with that too, which is always good. My boyfriend's mum goes to WW so it will be nice to have a chum to talk to it all about. Think I must try out the WW forum too.

This is all from me tonight, I am going to snuggle up in bed and carry on reading my book - "My Sister's Keeper". Sad, and highly poignant to the situation too.

Hope I raise some money soon!

Lots of love,

a very hungry Sami xx

Hello and Welcome to the beginning of my challenge, and my blogging life..

First of all I would just like to say a huge thank-you for coming and looking at my page and for maybe helping me out for this worthy cause. Let me give you the background to why I am doing this.

Basically, I am overweight. It does not take a genius to work this out. However, there is more to it. I want to do something with my life that is worth writing about, and I am hoping that this might be the first thing in my life which I could put under this heading.

I am unable to explain the situation to you all properly due to this being a sensitive issue to the family but what I will tell you is that the person I am supporting lives a long way away from me , so I am unable to see them as much as I would like, but this weight loss challenge gives me the perfect opportunity to say thankyou to the charities that are helping them, and actually do something positive towards this whole situation. The charity that I have chosen supports people like the one I am supporting, and without them, we would not be having the support that we have at the moment.

I plan on blogging every day in order to keep you all updated on what is happening with my challenge, and possibly some information about how well he is doing.

I am going to lose weight. Finally. After 19 years. I am GOING to do it. For him. And for ME.

I am going to set a few rules to this challenge, so that everyone knows what they are getting themselves into:

1. I can lose weight using any methods apart from surgery
2. I will be joining Weight Watchers in order to help me keep on track, and to have my weekly weigh in
3. I will keep you all updated on this blog (please follow me and comment, otherwise I am going to feel like a right twaddle)
4. I would like to raise money for Clic Sargent
5. I am going to be accepting donations from ANYONE :)

I would like people to donate loose change/per pound I lose/or just a donation towards my battle with the flab!! (at the end of the day, I am going to have to laugh about this, otherwise I am going to cry...)

I have not set up an online account at the moment, because I want all the money to go to charity, instead of the website taking a premium - but I am looking into finding a free one - if anyone knows of one please let me know.

However, if you would like to donate.....

please send me a cheque in the post: (please make it out to me, and I will do a big cheque to the charity in the end)
