I will often count down the junctions along the motorway as I journey up or down country. Sometimes I play games to amuse myself between junctions such as only being aloud to spot 5 Volvos before the next junction otherwise, I'm out! It's surprising how long it takes to get to a junction when you're desperate. My second stone felt very much like this game. I was desperate to get there but it felt just out of my reach for so long, I was soooo delighted to see the numbers 23:00 static on the scales display....yahoo...I got the second charm for my bracelet, a cup cake! However, no sooner have I arrived at "J23", my sights shift to J22 and so the game continues. There's no time to stop and enjoy the achievement, I have to keep my eyes set ahead. Sounds easy enough hey. If only...
My weight loss is going rather slowly at the minute, and although I know slowly is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, it also means that my destination will take longer to reach. I am an impulsive kinda girl at heart and I like to see results NOW. Note to self, must work on patience.
I've been talking through my frustration with a couple of people and we are wondering whether my PCOS if having an effect on my slow progress? With this in mind I am looking into the possibility of avoiding foods with a high GI as they are notoriously bad for PCOS sufferers wanting to lose weight. Juggling Pro Points and GIs is going to be fun, hopefully focusing on this will mean I arrive at J22 before I know it. We can but hope. And hope I shall. I would love to lose another stone before Christmas, realistically I should go for seven pounds but hey, in for a penny......
So, work Christmas meal coming up this week, Rachel's birthday next week, then my birthday and Christmas the following week.....wish me luck...or send me a roll of gaffa tape.

Back in the driving seat!
September 2009! The last time I blogged! Three years on I should really have arrived at destination fabulous, however, somewhere along the route I took a detour.....a three year detour! How did that happen?
I could spend the next hour or so looking back or I get back in the driving seat and set the satnav. This time no detour, I'm going to plan my journey and stick with the route before me.
So, the journey. Where will it take me along the way? Who knows. I hope I pick up a few travelling companions, I do enjoy company.
I often travel up and down the motorway to visit my family in the midlands, you would think therefore that preparing for this journey shouldn't be too difficult. There are a few things I always take with me on long journeys and wouldn't dream of leaving behind. I think in some way I must include them in my journey to destination fabulous.
My first item is music. There is no way I can leave the village let alone the county without my favourite tracks on the stereo. I need a weight loss anthem, something to motivate and inspire me.....any suggestions? Also tracks to exercise too, I am going to be building up my exercise routine over the coming weeks and months so will definitely need music to keep me going.
I am completely committed to this journey and will post updates each week with a running total of my weight loss to date (since joining ww). As I weigh in at Weight Watchers every Tuesday it makes sense to blog either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, please check in and encourage me.
Total loss 18 lbs
