Hi there just me again! Haven't been on here blogging for a little while cos everything went a little bit wrong over the weekend and I didn't want to have to come on here and admit it!!!!!!

So on Friday it was going to be difficult enough for me cos I was having an Ann Summers party and so everyone was gonna be having a drink and I would hvae to try not to. Well that was added to on Friday because the offer we had been waiting a week to hear if it had been accepted, was rejected on Friday and we couldn't increase it so it was a bit upsetting that we had lost a house we really liked - so I decided that Friday night was off for the diet so I had pizza and salad for my tea and had a bottle of red. The party was a total success and we had a whale of a time and I can't wait till Friday and the things we bought arriving!

Then we had a friend who had come up for the whole weekend from london to be part of the party on Friday and then to see a bit of the area and catch up the rest of the weekend. So on Saturday we went out for a pub lunch and I had mince and dumplings followed by apple pie and cream so Saturday was off the diet as well really!

But then the good news from Saturday was that I got a job interview letter in the post that I had applied for way back before Christmas so I thought it was out of the question - BUT I AM VERY EXCITED TO HAVE GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!! And then in the afternoon we went to see another house - well it couldn't be MORE different to the one we lost out on last week but we both ABSOLUTELY loved it and got very excited about it. It is an absolute dump at the moment and would need absolutely stripping and starting again - but with the price it is on at we would have plenty to spare to do all that and we would really make it OUR house and we would add a whole HEAP of value if we come to sell it! So we put an offer in - we didn't need a second viewing cos we know there is LOADS of work to do anyway! but now again we are waiting to hear apparently yesterday the solicitor who is dealing with the sale told the agent that our offer is very attractive but he has to tell the seller about it and see what they say so we are back to waiting again I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!

So on Sunday I got on the scales and gues what - I am still bloody 11st 3lb!!!! So 2 weeks of really good eating in the week and the odd wobble at the weekend and 3 lots of excercise per week I AM STILL THE SAME WEIGHT so I am obviously doing something wrong - any ideas!!!!

On suday I got back on track exceptt hat what with dropping our friend back to the station we didn't get to go on our bike ride which wasn't so good but never mind - aquafit tonight!

We both had really bad cravings for a take away last night but we were very strong and decided that if we have an offer accepted we will have a takeaway as our celebration meal!

Well here we go again!

So today I finally managed to get a moment with my friend who is pregnant and who I was so rude to by not giving my congratulations. Anyway I explained to her and told her that unfortunately the green eyed monster had reared it's ugly head. She totally understood and was very sympathetic she had no idea that we are even thinking about trying but she was very excited by the prospect but I have made her promise not to tell ANYONE (and I know she won't) but I am very excited that if or when we do actually get a chance to try I will have somebody to talk to about it (as well as all of you lot!)

Anyway the eating has gone well again today so I am pleased with that and we did go swimming, however the pool was really busy and we both ended up getting quite grumpy cos there was no sapce to actually swim so instead of pushing ourselves to do 50 (10 more than last wek) we ended up only doing 30 (10 less than last week) but 30 lengths is better than none. And I was still quicker and stronger at swimming than hubbie so that still pleased me!!!!!

I am still worried about tomorrow night with my ann summers party and being tempted by wine and other drinks and crisps and bad things generally. Although at the same time I am really excited about it cos it will be much fun and amusment! And I am looking forward to my friend coming to stay for the weekend too.

I must stick to everything and get on those scales on Sunday and have some lb's off!!!!

Well today I had my first baddie - yes I cracked but really it is not all bad - I had one jammie dodger as it was a staff meeting and I was hungry and needed something to get through the dull boring meeting. Since I had the selection of crisps, chocolate bars, biscuits etc in the kids snack cupboard I actullay think my selection wasn't too bad!

Also I had the added stress that we were supposed to find out about whether our offer on a house had been accepted or not today BUT the stooopid vendors ... well the husband works away and supposedly the wife has been unable to contact him SINCE SATURDAY so they said that they will let us know on SATURDAY - that will be a WHOLE week since we made our offer and our house is sold and the buyers want to be on the move so we can't be hanging around forever waiting for them to accept or decline (there is only £1000 difference between what they wanted and what we have offered and they are already in another house so you'd have thought they'd want to make a sale!) So I was really tempted to go for some comfort eating but I DIDN'T> We have actually rung the agents back and said we have to know by 3pm on Firday so that we can begin to make other plans if we need to - it felt like a really decisive move at the time (and it is) but now I am panicing that we may lose a lovely house becuase of that action! OH GOD it is all so blody emotional buying houses and so unpredicatable too! So now I have to keep my fingers crossed for another couple of days and I can tell you typing with them like this is tricky and I will end up with cramp befor long!!!!!!!!

Swimming again with hubbie tomorrow - hope I can still be quicker than him - isn't my competitive streak ridiculous - ou and 50 lengths this week to stretch ourselves!

Melis 30 - we said we would start trying in January originally but then I have had some period problems (won't go into details here) so we have had to put it back to April time hoping that periods etc have got back to normal by then!

Well today has been pretty good again - I am seriously feeling soooooo proud that I am sticking to this so well cos it is not usually like this.

Again I had a high fibre cereal breakfast, then some dried fruit and seeds as a snack instead of raiding the classroom snack cupboard, then a soup at lunch time and then tonight we have had grilled sausages and fresh veg for dinner.

It was aquafit tonight for my second consecutive week and I REALLY enjoyed it I really pushed myself very hard which really made me pleased as well - lots of splashing and fun and games. also I was especially proud of actually going as I had ten tons of work that I could have doen for school tonight but I made the concisous decision that I had to do this for me and so I did!!! YIPPEEE!

We will finally find out about the house tomorrow which will be one less stress.

I am attempting to not get worried about this weekend as far as the diet goes cos on Friday I am having an Ann Summers party and I am sure people will bring snacky things and I will be seriously tempted by them and we have a great friend staying for the whole weekend so I am sure it will involve lots of food and possibly another meal out but I must try and be good!!!!
