Target hit!!

Well I've done it! I've reached my 10% weight loss goal plus 1lb making 33lbs lost to date in 15 weeks ...... looking forward to the next 15 weeks to see if I can hit my new 10% target of 28 lbs. Hoping to be down to about 18st 7lbs or close to by the time I go to Bristol in September.  Got a couple of extra cheap weeks at the gym because Paul(my exercise guru) is on a fortnights hols, so it's going to be 3 or 4 weeks before I can have my re-assessment. The new job is going well, not had too many problems so far.  Surprised myself with how quickly I've picked up the routes considering I do not know Newcastle at all!

another milestone reached with another on the horizon!

Went to Weight Watchers tonight, lost 3 pounds this week, which has taken me 2 pounds past the 2 stones lost marker and left me 2 pounds short of my next goal, which is 10 per cent lost off my initial weigh in total.

It's started!

After twelve weeks my body has got used to me dieting and is starting to reject it! I'll have to give up for a week and then start again on even lower points, happens every time but usually sooner than this. The receptionist at the local medical centre is useless! I took my second Weight Watchers referral letter round last Tuesday week and she's lost it!
Almost time to start driving service buses again, last day at the training school today then depot familiarisation tomorrow. Had a refresher course on the Wayfarer ticket machine yesterday, so many different fares up here it's overwhelming! Still, it will be great to get back behind the wheel and on the road again.

Good and Bad!

The good news is I have finally started for Arriva (30th May), the bad? well after losing only 2lbs last Monday (23rd) this week I put 1lb ON! Last night I went into Newcastle to have a few pints with some friends from Park & Fly as a farewell gesture, we had a great time although most couldn't make it. We are now waiting to arrange another so the 'missers' can make it. Had some lovely comments left on my leaving card and I know most are genuinely sorry to see me go.
