Failure!

Not been on here for a while ... had nothing good to say .... still haven't about me .. total, all round failure! But, Hubby had good news on Monday ... at SW, the bell rang .. he'd reached target! Whoo hoo! Well done him and well deserved too! He's worked hard and been diligent about his eating! Bless!  So while he's achieved, I've failed! failed at my art, failed at my weightloss, failed, failed, failed!!!
Not so happy days!

Wow!

Yipeeee do dah! I was surprised to be nominated for Miss Slinky, but to be voted it was astounding!
I also got my two stone award tonight too (second time round but at least I'm still here eh!!).
I was nominated with 11 other lovely ladies, we all stood up front and told our stories of our battles and achievements ... and then we all voted ... and I was chosen!!!!

Here's the pic Rachel took of me...

Today, I am one happy bunny!

Serves me right!!!!

Tee heee!  Halloween treats for the trick and treaters!  I especially got a tub of treats that DID NOT have chocolate, so no temptation there .. Or so I thought! ... But no, this is me of course! I like drumsticks .. So I pinched one, un wrapped it, shoved it in my gob and bit down .... Crack! Pulled out said drumstick with half my back tooth attached! Blimey! There was my SW fairy giggling in the background!!!!

Doh!

What am I like ... Hubby went out caching and I was driving myself crazy trying to keep away from the treat box!!! Why do I do it????  VERY pleased to report though, that I did stay away, but, oh what a fight!!!!
Bless him though ... he brought a bar of chocolate back for us to share!  Why does it seem like it's a constant fight!!!! Bloomin' food!7

Past that date!

Well it's just over a year now since I went into hospital and, today, a year ago, was the day they cut me open!  

I was, stupidly I know, worrying that it might happen again! But, of course, it didn't!!!  

Having said that I'm still not 100%, in fact even today my tummy began hurting and doing the thing that's like having Braxton hicks! Most strange! 

Am I ever going to be back to where I was? I know the weight's not there yet, I gained .5 lb tonight, but will, apart from the ugly scar, my tummy ever not hurt again like before the op?!?!? 

So, to get back, weight wise to where I was a year ago I need to lose ... Wait for it!........... 1 stone 1.5 lbs!   Bummer!

I feel like giving up .. But I won't .... I don't think!

Fairly good week ...

... then today Little Blue One made hot cross buns!!!  I love hot cross buns .... So far I've shared one with Hubby and Little Blue One, pinched a bit of one that Little Blue One toasted and horror of horrors buttered! Then while trying to cook tea scoffed one without anyone knowing!!  See... I've no self control whatsoever! Now I'm peeved off and it's weigh in tomorrow!!!!!!
:-(

Busy, busy, busy!

Naughty me .. I've neglected my little blog .. but for good reasons .. I've a little jobette in the lovely shop that's selling my prints (that's also keeping me busy, with trips to the printers and the mounting of my work!) and I'm really enjoying it .. I only help out on Mondays and the odd Saturday, but it gets me out, keeps me out of mischief and away from the snack cupboard!!!!!
So the trips to and from the printer with printers proofs etc has been time consuming but it's been exciting .. I've now got prints in two sizes and cards in the shop as well on my website .. Passion, paper & paint!

Anyway, the last few weeks have been good .. a few little naughties crept in, but, nothing too much .. last week I lost 1.5lbs and this week 2lbs! Yipeee!
It's great cos Hubby's losing too and we're keeping each other on track!
