I am sorry I have been AWOL for a few days. I have been going through some emotional turmoil and I wasn’t following my diet much less bothering with mine or other people’s blogs with any sense of commitment.
My sleep, due to the emotional turmoil, has been a complete mess too. As a result […]

Hello Everyone! I am back! Not from London, mind. That didn’t happen as there has been a change of plan. Just the tiny matter of me going this weekend instead so that I can see my life long fairy princess, Kylie Minogue! Yay for me. I have loved her since I was ten, the […]

Yesterday was what one could describe as a complete disaster. I made two prominent bad decisions:

Not eating before a work out, meaning I was ravenous when I finished.
Buying marshmellows “to put one or two” in a cup of low cal hot chocolate. I wasn’t supposed to then go on to eat the rest of […]

I am absolutely exhausted! My weekend was pretty wild and I have had that on my mind for days so haven’t been sleeping well again. It’s funny, isn’t it - you get a glimmer of excitement in your life and you lose your mind, LOL. Last night I took a Nytol for the first […]

Today should be the day marked in my journey as the first day I saw 14 stones 13lbs on the scales. I really do not know what else to say about it. You know how this makes me feel. It is such a huge accompishment.

I am no longer in the 15 era, which means […]

Wow, what a manic weekend! It was *the* best weekend I have had in a long long time!
Saturday saw me going into town to buy an outfit, then a big workout, then more shopping, then home and getting ready to go out, then dancing, then a long walk eventually getting back to my friends […]

My Skinny Blonde sister has just been around. She said she was driving a long the other day and had a really disturbing thought. I asked if she was going to share it and she said:
“I just thought, shit, what if it is Groovybabe’s turn to be skinny and it is my turn to […]

Yesterday I had 2082 calories, included in that was a middle of the night cheese sandwich, so my anticipation at today’s scale response was to be expected. But surprisingly I was 2lbs down from yesterday’s reading. I am not quite down to my lowest reading of 15.3 yet but I have come down from […]

I am so tired I cannot believe I am even writing this - that is dedication for you! I woke up after only 5 hours sleep at 7am and was in the gym by 8.30am!! I think I am crazy. What other explanation is there?
I had a really good work out, once I got […]
