I finally committed to Weight Watchers. I was a toss up between them and Slimming World - well at the end of the day all diets work as long as you stick to them! Only reason that I was going with Slimming World was because I wanted to go to a class on a Tues night as it is the only night that I am not committed to the gym or other stuff. But I managed to find a Weight Watchers class relatively close to my house - not the nearest but not too bad. Plus my brother's girlfriend wanted to join and she preferred Weight Watchers. So there you have it, I bought a Monthly pass and I am on my way! In fact as I write this I am eating a Weight Watchers Pizza Oval and it is surprisingly delicious!!!
So 1 of my nieces from the US is meant to be arriving next week to spend the summer over here. Not sure that it is a good idea as our kids don't break up for another 6 weeks so during the week when the kids are in school I think she is going to struggle to not get bored. But will see how it goes. Her dad (who is divorced from my sister) is bringing her over as she is too young to travel on her own. I would love to take some time off and go back with her for a week or 2 but that might have to wait until September/October when I have a bit more money and work is a bit better.
Was out with work last night which was good, a very drunken affair though - don't worry i had been saving my points!!!! Hence, didn't get much sleep last night and haven't really done a lot today - not even got showered or dressed lol. Might be out again tonight but I wont be drinking - more for the fact that I don't have enough points now!
My class is on a Tuesday night - so that will be my first weigh in - I feel confident at the moment but still another 3 days to go lol.

Changing lanes...?
Been over 4 weeks since my last entry - really not very good as this blogging lark am i??! I dont know if anyone reads this site but that isnt the reason I am doing it - doing it for my own sanity!
So what has been happening to me in the last 4 weeks?? Well I have been away to Rhodes, become a year older, and not got any thinner lol but not really got any fatter either which is always good!
First, my holiday. Went away to Rhodes for a week of R&R and certainly did that - read 4 thick books in a week!!! There wasn't a lot else to do around the resort so that was fine. I do like Rhodes - there is a lot to do there if you want to go exploring else it is just a very laid back place. Went to a place called the Miraluna Village - was meant to be 5 star but I have stayed in much nicer 5 star places than this, was nice just not 5 star!
It was my birthday yesterday - ARRRGGHHH!!! I had a nice meal out with some friends and my brother and his girlfriend. Was disappointed that that was all we did - I would have liked to have gone onto a couple of pubs or onto Smokeys in town but nobody else was up for that. Have to say that I was a bit miffed at my friend Emma, she has had a pretty full on social life for the last few weeks and she knew it was my birthday but said that she was too tired to go out after the meal - she might have been but then she had her "friend" turning up round her house after the meal so couldn't have been that tired! Anyway another year older and certainly not another year wiser!!
As I said earlier the diet is pretty much non existent. I am thinking about signing up to Slimming World tomorrow. I have done it before and done really well although all diets seem to work for me as long as I stick at them for more than a couple of weeks/months. I think the last time I did it I did so well because I was living with my ex's mum and she was cooking for me so I had no choice but to stick to it!!! I finished reading The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl on holiday and she really puts me to shame! She has done so well and although i dont think for 1 minute that any of it was easy the book makes it seem like she had her head screwed on and succeeded 90% of the time! I wish I could be more like her - I only have half the amount of weight to lose as she did so why cant I do it!!!
Gym still going well although I havent been for a couple of weeks because of holiday etc. Going back on Wednesday for a Spinning class. Going to give Body Pump a go very soon - as soon as I get the all clear on my elbow which will hopefully be on Wednesday when I see my consultant.
I hope to update this sooner rather than later!
