Fatboy Slimmer - Part Two

So, I need to apologise for last week's blog. I'd had a rough week one way or another and I just wanted to get to bed after I went for weigh-in and my swim. This week has been better as it was a nice long Bank Holiday weekend and only a few days in work as I'm off half day tomorrow....

May-hem…

So how has your week been? Mine hasn't been great for a few reasons that I'll not go into now. It started okay, fell apart at the weekend and then work and stress has probably contributed to this weeks result. I really don't feel like writing a full blog this week so apologies and I'll just keep it short. The Tale of the Whale…...

Mid May

It's been a long old week in the world of slim. Work has been mental. For some reason, we've had lots of calls for CCT. All new claims that tend to need to be actioned there and then. However, I've tried to be as on plan as best that I could. There have been a few slips (including welshcakes and pizza) but that wasn't the norm thankfully!...

Mayday?

So another week down and while I'm trying my best, I really need to knuckle down and maybe combine efforts to get this weight loss going. A combination of Slimming World and perhaps some calorie counting, along with the swimming and a visit to the gym may give me the boost that I need. It's not been a fantastic week diet wise....

April’s End

Last week was an absolute nightmare at weigh in. It really got me to a point where I wondered if Slimming World was actually for me. My weigh went up by half a stone admittedly after a fantastic week with Alex and Skindred. I was utterly devastated and it really didn't help as I felt a bit anxious when I went for my after group swim....

Booze, Beats, Brixham!

Well, it's been two weeks since my last update and I must say that it's been a fantastic few weeks. It's been a tale of live music, lots of amazing food, incredible beer and even better company. So it is no shock that weigh in tonight was going to be a bit difficult. I could have swerved it and just not gone but I think that I owed it to myself to get back into the swing of things and try again....

Easter eater.

Another week down and time for another weigh in. It feels like it's been a long old week this week, despite there having been a four day weekend! Things have been quite slow this week but with the Easter weekend and plethora of chocolate and hot cross buns in the shops then it was always going to be a difficult one....

Spring – Renewal?

I've had a few weeks of just massive stress as work has not been great. Lots of work to do and not enough time to complete it. This week has been a bit less stressy as someone had deleted our team from the telephone system and we're not able to access the phones. It has meant a lot more walk ups and Teams messages but it has given us time to work on what we need to do and we've been in a position to concentrate on some of the trickier claims....

Last of March

Not the best of weeks this week. Had a poor start to the week with some beers and the rest of the week has just gone downhill from there. I think that I realise that I'm now suffering from stress and anxiety. That is blocking me from concentrating on my efforts at weight loss. Despite sitting in group after the weigh in and seeing the success of others, my yo-yoing journey has not been great and I'm now considering just giving it up completely....

March Madness

This week hasn't been a great one. Mostly on plan but there were days where I have really struggled to stay even close to the plan. Had a fairly quiet weekend. I'm still feeling a bit rough with this cold. I was due to go out on Saturday but a combination of not feeling great and perhaps a bit of anxiety kept me firmly rooted in the house....
