Silent Sunday – 18.09.11

The Baby Weight Battle – 1 year on

On Thursday, my little boy will be one and his mummy is STILL carrying around far too much of the weight that she gained whilst carrying him.

I looked at myself in the mirror today and was really quite unhappy with the sight I saw. The belly is big and it has to go.

Pre final dress fitting for my wedding I had started using a rather fabulous Slim Pod and had lost 7lb in 2 weeks. I then stopped as I didn’t want to lose any weight between my dress fitting and the wedding. To explain, a Slim Pod is a rather fabulous MP3 download from Thinking Slimmer. In short, you listen to a 10 min voice recording every night for a minimum of 21 days and without willpower, dieting, calorie counting, you will gradually lose weight through small changes to your lifestlye.

I realise that you’re probably all laughing me right now. I suggest you read some of the success stories from fellow bloggers, truly astounding. I’ve met some of these ladies and the weight loss they have experienced is unbelievable.

Today, I changed my Drop 2 Dress Sizes slimpod to a Drop 2 Jeans Sizes slimpod. I am more a jeans girl than a dress girl and the slimpod is more likely to work for me as it’s more in tune with me. There are many to choose from though, just pick the one best for you.

I have set my goals, will write in my diary this evening and then listen to Trevor’s dulcit tones. Each week I will aim to update on my progress. I have also taken a picture of my current body (will not be grossing you out today) and if I get to my 10st 7lb target, I will share my before and after shots with you.

Wish me luck!

My name is Vanessa and I am an addict…

I would love to say that life and moving and weddings and Sam Sam have got in the way of my blogging recently, but that would be a lie. The truth is, I have an addiction and it is all consuming.

I am addicted to Grey’s Anatomy and more specifically to McSteamy & McDreamy the 2 HOT HOT HOT! doctors that feature in the show.

I have sped through Season’s 1-6 in record time and now that I am nearing the end of season 7, I am not sure what I am going to do until Season 8 starts on these shores. How will I cope with a single episode a week, when somedays I watch 3 episodes in a row.

Please help me someone and if you can’t help me then tell me that there are others with this affliction. More to the point though…Team McSteamy or McDreamy?
