Week 2 down, only another 102 to go no doubt!!!

Hi to you all! It was weigh in day on Tuesday again and pleased to announce that I lost another 2 lbs, that brings my total to 5lbs so really pleased about that. Don't mean to sound negative but I do this - do really well for a few weeks then have a mini blip and that is it....off the wagon! Just hoping that this time will be different.
I have been keeping up the spinning 3 times a week and cycling to and from the gym on the odd occasion too. Though this week there is no cycling to the gym and only managing 2 sessions of spinning! Well, I am off to see Sex and The City tonight and I cannot wait he he. And the rest of the week has been pretty hectic too!
I spent the weekend finally finishing my garden! I went to the nursery and bought the last bit of slate that I needed and some new plants and hanging baskets and voila!! Luckily the weather was nice so was able to spend the time on it - not so this weekend I suspect.
I have 1 of my American nieces arriving this morning to stay with Mum and Dad for approximately 6 weeks - that's if she lasts that long as I think she will be bored to tears! Our schools don't break up for at least another 4 weeks so she is only going to have kids her age around at the weekend. But Mum has stuff planned for her and I will probably try and take the odd day or 2 off work to spend time with her. Her dad is flying over with her as she is too young to travel on her own as standby (her dad works for an airline and she gets to fly free). This is fine except this is the man that is now divorced from my sister because she finally carried out her threats to divorce him after he was unfaithful to her for at least the 5th time and fathered a child with another woman!!! Now to meet him you would think that butter wouldn't melt but he just doesn't know when to put it away - he is on his 4th marriage and has 5 children by 4 different women! He is now supposedly a reformed character and a born again Christian but I still don't think this makes up for all the upset he put my sister through!! I am polite to him because he is the father to her children but that is as far as it goes I'm afraid. He is only here for a few days and then flies back and will be back in a few weeks to pick her up again. I did offer to take her back when she wants to go but I think that I want to go over in about Sept/Oct time instead. Or maybe even Christmas.
So that is about it for this entry. As I said before off to see SATC tonight and really excited - though it is going to be a late night so don't know how I will get up in the morning! Then tomorrow I am off to see an old Uni friend for the evening and working at the weekend. I will post again after my weigh in on Tuesday.
Ta Ta for now!

1st week down

It was weigh in at WeightWatchers last night and pleased to say that I lost 3lbs - as did my brothers girlfriend who is going to the class with me. Would liked it to have been more, especially as I hopped on the scales (naughty i know!) midweek and i had lost 6lbs! But we all know that our weight fluctuates and that we shouldn't weigh midweek. So onwards and downwards so to speak! Week 2 here we come. And so far no evenings out - which is good for the waist but not for the social life!
I have registered my interest for the Moonwalk in London next year - wanted to do it this year but was too late to sign up. Hoping I can find some company to do it with me so I don't look like a billy - but you know what even if I cant I will do it alone.
Spoke to my best matey Helen last night. She is really good at losing her post pregnancy weight and puts my weight loss to shame!! She will be back to her normal weight in no time. At my birthday celebrations she asked me to be Godmother to her newest arrival - which I am totally chuffed about. They are hoping that the Christening will be late Sept this year so that gives me just over 3 months to lose a little bit of weight and treat myself to a nice frock or something he he.
No plans for the forthcoming week. I am on call at the weekend but gonna see if someone else is willing to do either Fri or Sat as I might be going out for a leaving do. My friend Gemma (spinning instructor) is off to work for Mark Warner for the summer so she might be having a bit of a drink up. Gonna miss her - she is a great spinning instructor at the gym even if she does kill me with the amount of sprints that she makes us do. Good luck Gemma, you'll be missed!
