February blues.

February has been an awful month for me so far, so I'm sorry I haven't blogged since the beginning of the month. My weight loss has been awful but this for once isn't my fault, I'm on medication at the moment have been for two weeks and will be for a further week they finish next Tuesday. This medication unfortunately makes you gain weight and boy have I suffered. I gained half a pound for some unknown reason the week before I got them but then the following week I maintained (I got weighed at a group in Stoke) then this week I gained a massive three and a half pound I was in bits over that because I was only one pound away from my next award and now I'm four and a half pound away from it. It's so frustrating but I want to get better first and then hopefully what I have gained because of the tablets I can get back off again. Even though I've stuck to plan completely and knew I'd have a gain I still crumbled because it is so disheartening. I broke down crying to my consultant and she said to treat it as a maintain as the medication will be making me carry so much water. I'm hoping that next week isn't another gain as I don't finish the tablets until Tuesday so we shall see. I've started doing some body magic too, I did twenty minutes on the bike last night as well as five minutes kettlebell workout, I was absolutely shattered.

It was half term last week I spent nine lovely days with Ashley, I didn't want it to end Sunday and I miss him terribly now as I don't see him until Sunday. It was so lovely being with him for that amount of time we went on lots of walks and spent most of our time in the supermarkets (that's normal for us!) At least next week I get to see him longer, which makes me extremely happy.

I hope you've all had a great week so far and enjoy your weekends.

February.

February is bittersweet for me at the moment, as today is the 1 year anniversary of my Auntie Sonya's death. It seriously doesn't feel like a year already, it's gone so fast. It's been a struggle but I'm just doing my best to try and make her proud. I know she won't want me to be sad and upset so I shall try my best.

Last night was my first weigh in of February, I picked up slimmer of the month for January which I'm really chuffed about as I lost 11.5lb last month. I lost 1lb last night but I needed 1.5lb for my next award, I even went for an extra wee and took my socks off! It didn't help lol. So next week I want that! I currently weigh 13st 4.5lb I'm so close to the 12st bracket it's exciting!! I'm such a big fan of the new hifi light bars that have come into group the 'rhubarb crumble and custard' ones. They taste so good! If you have a sweet tooth and love rhubarb you'll adore them. I've planned all the meals for the week and done the shopping list for tomorrow. I've been really poorly hence why it was a small loss this week, I've been popping tablets like they are going out of fashion, I wasn't able to go in college or placement I was that bad. I'm on the mend now and was in placement this week and have college tomorrow. I'm so tired though and I still have a cough and cold, but somehow I think my immune system is just going to have to man up as children are walking flu machines!

I'm going to spend my night watching the football and reading the latest slimming world magazine for inspiration. I hope you all have a great week.
