My brilliant and lovely daughter Emily today attended one of her running competitions. She entered 100m, 200m and long jump and walked away with 2 gold medals and a bronze :o) Here are some videos of her in action. I am sooooo proud of her.

Weigh In
Woo Hoo! 4lb off this week. I'm exactly 15 stone now, and have lost a total of 41lb. Hopwfully I've be into the 14's next week and also get my 6th silver 7. Gotta go make my yummy low point dinner. Chicken, mange tout, baby sweetcorn and leek stir fried with a good helping of Reggae Reggae sauce. God I love that stuff! After that there is a glass of wine or 3 with my name on in the pub!

WI and a few holiday pics
I haven't updated for a while. I had my weigh in last wednesday and had losyt 1.5lb which I was pleased with. Even though I have been good I was concerned my holiday would catch up with me as my weigh loss sometimes seems to be a week behind.
I also spent my birthday money from Mum and Dad and got the WW kitchen scales which will come in so handy as I think I have started to guess-timate portions and points. As I lose weight and my points go down they will come on so handy.
I am now 15st 4lb, which is 2st 9lb or 37lb less than when I started. I'm still as commited as ever. My next mini goal is to get to 14 st for when I go to New York in just over 2 months.
I have added a few pics from my holiday. I had been a bit lazy and not uploaded mine to my computer yet, but Mum and Dad emailed me a few. Mum took some great ones of me and Emily surfing! Oh, and check out the name of the chinese restaurant!!!
Last night in "Cafe Res"
The Rude Chinese!
Emily looks like a pro... you can just about see me underwater!
Mum and Emily
Yeah, I did it!

Shock Birthday Suprise!
Ok, own up. Who nicked that 5lb from me? Someone must have done, cos I went away to Spain, relaxed, drank a vino tinto and San Miguel or 60 and I still lost 5lb.
Ok, if none of you are owning up, I'll blame it on the baggage handlers, they must have lost it for me :o)
Bit tiddly now, had a brill birthday, will do a better update when I'm alive. Ta ra a bit.

Stupid things amuse stupid people!
It's my birthday tomorrow, and it's also weigh in day. If I manage to lose 2.5lb that means I will have lost a total of 33lb on my 33rd birthday. Is it just me that thinks that would be cool?!

It's flipping cold back in England!
Well, I have just got back from a wonderful holiday at Mum and Dads in Spain. For those of you that follow, see www.montepego.co.uk
It's always a chilled out and very relaxing holiday seeing them. My batteries are re-charged, I have a healthy glow from the sunshine and it's done me the world of good.
It was lovely seeing Mum and Dad. They could tell I had lost weight and seemed really happy and proud of me. Whenever we saw any of their friends Dad kept making comments like "you'll see a lot less of her next time!" and while I felt slighly embarrassed I also felt good that I was obviously making him proud of me.
I had a sneeky peek on the scales today, and amazingly it looks like I have managed to lose some weight while I have been away. I'm not getting my hopes up too much as my scales don't always match the WW ones at weigh in, but I can also tell in my clothes. They do not feel any tighter and I feel well.
If I do lose weight, it will be brilliant as while I didn't go mad with food - Mum and Dad helped a lot by making lots of WW food, I have relaxed and indulged in holiday drinking. You have to relax and let go a bit on holiday don't you? I have been mindful of my weigh though, for example one night we went to an Italian restaurant and I had a pizza and I made a decision before I even ordered it that I would only eat half. I stuck to that, and felt full and satisfied without going mad.
It's always sad when a holiday comes to an end, and even worse when I have to say goodbye to my parents - I cry like a baby!! But, it's also good to be home to see my wonderful boyfriend again and also to feel in control of my diet again!

We're all off to sunny Spain... via the Chinese!
Ok, all ready to go now. We fly at 3.20pm - so excited. Can't wait to see Mum and Dad, Meggie the dog and chillout in the Spanish sunshine.
We went for a chinese tonight. I have been good point wise all week so let my hair down a bit tonight. We always go for a meal the night before holiday, I think it's a nice way to get it all started.
I have no idea how much I will weigh on my return. I plan to be good, but I also plan to relax. If I put on a lb or so, it's not the end of the world. I have lost over 2 stone, and I'll soon get back on track. I can't be good ALL the time. All work and no play makes Jo a bored dieter!
So, I will be back soon after 8 days sunning myself in beautiful Monte Pego.
