Day 220, 221 & 222

Friday, not much sleep as it was a late night last night, however, felling surprisingly refreshed.  Another regular day at the office, left a little bit earlier as the plan was to go to my mates gig, however, she messaged me to say she'd had an alteration to her schedule was en route to Rotherham, so an evening in for me.  Dachs didn't come out for dinner, found he had died in his sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, so my evening was burying him :-(

Saturday, no real plans as such, so following a SW 'fry up' for breakfast I headed into Wolves to get some work trousers from Primark, alas, only big sizes in stock!!  Got myself a couple of vests for running in though, home to walk the hounds and deliver some SW leaflets for the new group.  Off to my mates house to cadge a lift to her gig in Bridgnorth, home at 1.30 am.

Sunday, a trip to Walsall after breakfast to try to get some work trousers, success at last, hello size 10, also managed to get some size 10 running shorts.  Back home for a very quick bite to eat and a shower as my mate and her hubby were picking me up en route to Ripley for her Pink gig.  What a fantastic afternoon, the bar was very busy and the crowd were really into it, early doors, home at 8.30 pm to the hounds, bins sorted for collection.

Night, night

Day 217, 218 & 219

Tuesday morning, no real aches from kettlercise, so all good.  Hounds sorted before heading off to work.  A regular day in the office except for a supervision with one of my team and a bit of coaching with regard to a job application.

No clubbercise as I'd done kettlercise which is more beneficial, so an evening with the hounds.

Wednesday morning, feeling a bit bloated, sign it is weigh in day.  Think the fibre I've been eating has helped with my stomach.  A great day of food optimising, home for a quick mealbefore heading off to be weighed,  To my surprise I'd lost 3.5 lb giving me slimmer of the week again, the fourth time, happy bunny.

Thursday, my abs were starting to ache a little, but not as much as last week.  Another regular day in the office, spent the day looking forward to the Cher & Meatloaf show in Wednesbury, a very quick pit stop at home to get changed & grab my SW oat muffins and some fruit to take with me.  The show was absolutely amazing, these guys are just awesome.

Day 216

Monday morning, my alarm didn't go off as I forgot to set it, oops.  It was a good job the bin men were especially noisy and woke me up at 6.50 am, half an hour after I should have got up!  Somehow I managed to catch up with myself, did all my little tasks and left on time.   Early finish today for a hospital appointment, so left at 1.30 pm.  Home to let the hounds out, then get changed before setting off to the hospital, as usual parking spaces around the hospital were none existent, so parked at Bentley Bridge and walked it.  Surprisingly I was seen on time, examined and then sent to radiology for x rays, then back to see the consultant, that was my afternoon gone.  So next on the agenda is a trip to orthotics, physio, then a follow up with the consultant.

Home for a flying visit to let the hounds out before my drive to Brierley Hill for Kettlercise with my mate.  Found the sit ups a bit harder tonight, think it was because I was tired, we'll see how much I ache over the next couple of days, lol.  A pit stop at Aldi for some veg, got winked at by the young man on the till, lol, then home to lasagne in the slow cooker and some speedy veg, yum, yum.


Day 214 & 215

Saturday, no plans at all for the day, other than getting my hair cut.  A quick trip to the shops then back home to walk the hounds before preparing my dinner & some snacks to take with me as my mate & hubby are taking me to her gig in Sheffield.  Sadly no chance of a quick nap as I was too busy cooking & sorting out the hounds before they collected me.  The gig was fab although the crowd seemed a little shy, they were clapping but didn't join in at all.  Falling asleep on the way home as we got stuck in traffic on the motorway, home at 3.30 am.

Sunday, managed a little bit of a lie in.  Popped into the City Centre, treated myself to some size 10 jeans & a couple of size 10 tops, check me out!!  A bit of a lazy day other than walking the hounds.  A trip to Stoke tonight with my mate & her hubby at one of the WMC's she does fairly regularly up there, at least they seem to appreciate her, although the crowd did start to dwindle away during the final set, home at 1 am.

Day 211, 212 & 213

Wednesday, weigh in day!!  Up & at em to sort out the hounds before heading into the shower & sorting myself out.  Suffering terribly with the SW constipation, grr, so feeling really bloated, hopefully I won't gain.

A regular day in the office, then finally home to an instant dinner before my Slimming World group.  Considering I've been feeling crap I was pleased to have shed another 1.5 lbs taking me to my 2.5 stone award, woo hoo!!

Thursday, really looking forward to today, my mate's gig tonight at Benjamins in Halesowen.  Couldn't wait for the day to be over as I was so much looking forward to my evening out.  So, I got told I looked fit following my weight loss, so that made me feel pretty good.  The show was absolutely amazing, what a fab night, shame there weren't a few more people there to support.

Friday, feeling a bit tired after my late night, but hey ho.  Made it through the day, although I did finish half an hour early to sort the hounds out before heading over to my mate's house as they were giving me a lift to Coventry for her gig.  Another fab night.

Day 210

Back to work, groan.  Early alarm, hounds breakfasts sorted,then time to sort myself out.  Haven't looked through the wardrobe for any smaller trousers, so will have to make do.  Feeling a bit tired today, so not feeling it.

Surprisingly the morning went fast, but so did my lunch break!!  Today is scan bran day, hopefully it will have the desired effect, lol.  The afternoon went a bit slower than the morning, but it wasn't too bad.  Back home to the hounds & a roast dinner to eat.  A quick sit down then time to walk the hounds.  My muscles seem to be repairing as they don't ache so much, so that's good news.  Looking forward to the next Kettlercise session on Monday.

Day 208 & 209

Easter Sunday has arrived!! Early night last night as sadly unable to go to the gig in Leicester.  Earlyish start to my day, getting out of bed was a challenge as my butt cheeks & abs were aching from Kettlercise yesterday.  Did a bit of faffing before deciding to walk the hounds.

An unexpected text from my mate to ask if I wanted a ride out to Brean as she was gigging at a holiday park, threw some food together as I'd not eaten since breakfast & headed over to Dudley.  The M5 was fairly quiet for a change, so we arrived early.  The show was  amazing, but surprises me that people don't even clap, then they say at the end how much they have enjoyed it.  Bizarre!!  Back home at 3 am, bins filled up ready for collection tomorrow, bed at 4 am.

Up again at 9.15 am although I had already disturbed twice.  Still a little achy, but easier to get out of bed today. Hounds breakfast sorted, then a quick trip to Cannock for Poundland & Holland & Barrett.  Back home to deliver more leaflets for the Slimming World group, then the hounds walked before a quick sit down to eat dinner, then shower time & then off out to Brierley Hill to my mate's Cher gig.

Wow, that weekend went by quickly!!
