Went to Slimming World today, should have stayed to meeting but Neil and I had planned on the day together. We went to West Kirby and walked round the lake which was relaxing, did some shopping, went to Neil's dads, got R from school, went to Neils dads again and then actually went back to West Kirby and walked round the lake again, this time it rained - it wasn't cold though and was nice.

Me and my friend Nikki from work when we went out the other day, we stopped on the roadside to get a pic with the horse.
Me on West Kirby prom. Nikki and I went to have a meal in the Moby Dick pub which was nice then after we walked around the lake, it was a good laugh. This was on Saturday.

Today (Monday) as I said before we walked round the lake twice today which is good exercise. It's almost 11pm and I am so tired now, time for bed cos I am working in the morning.
Oh yeah, on Friday night I went to stay in mum n dads and on the way there I got a text from one of my sistersa saying they were going out Friday night and did I want to go with them, so I did. I went to mums in leggings and a t-shirt (not good stuff to wear for a night out on the town), so I borrowed a top from my sister and some different shoes. My younger sister used her GHD hair straightners and did my hair with then.
It was an ok night out, we went to 3 pubs (I drank diet coke all night). We did not get back to mums till after 1am. Sat morning I was knackered! Saturday morning I went for a short walk with dad (he was taking Milly for a walk, their little jack russell). Neil and R came and got me Sat afternoon and then 5pm Sat I got picked up by Nikki and we went out for tea and that walk.

I put half a pound on this week when I got weighed this morning which is actually really good as I felt this last 2 weeks I have not eaten well and had loads of takeaways. Neil and I have been talking and we are so determined to eat better and do more exercise. Think we'll gt going on the Wii Fit again too. We are planning on going for a walk round the lake as many nights as we can - 7 days a week if we can. It would be very nice to lose my extra weight by Christmas time or sooner.

The weight management course Neil is on (for 12 weeks) has a pass for him to go to the gym free and use leisure centres for free in the worral. We have found a class that we can both go to on Mondays. I will have to pay though which is ok. It is an hour aerobics for people who are very overweight etc. I telephoned to see if I can go along to the class too (I am overweight and DO need the exercise) and they said yes that was ok. I might even be able to persuade Neil to go to Aqua Aerobics?????? Well, maybe?

It would be my Aunty Nellies 94th birthday today - I miss her.

Am going to the Dr's tonight cos I have been getting such a lot of pain in my shoulder, neck and head. Got work today but thankfully is admin this morning only. Went to the pub in the village last night with friends from work and really enjoyed it, it was nice and relaxing. We all drank diet drinks of course!

Neil did well on his 2nd weight management course weigh in and lost 2.4 kgs which is about 4 lbs or so I think in one week.

R has finished school for the summer.

 Sat 24th July

V tired. Dr said to go back in 2 weeks if still getting pains in head/neck, am taking painkillers. Not a lot happening otherwise. Neils dad is needing a lot of help, we are going up there every day, he has good days and not so good days. He is now on medication for Parkinsons diease which he was diagnosed with the day before Neil's mums funeral.
Glad it's the weekend as am totally totally tired. Neil is suffering from stress and has been getting a lot of chest pains, I know the other night he was very worried cos he was feeling sick and sweating and had chest pain. I so think it is stress, we have been v stressed with one thing and another. Neil is still lookiong for a job and we are struggling, but I keep saying to myself that there are people out there in worse situations.
It is nice that the kids are off school, no getting their uniforms ready each and every day.
Diet been ok I guess, we shall see on Monday. Am thinking I may have to stop going to Slimming World cost of the cost each week though I do enjoy the people their, they are all so nice, I would miss it if I stopped going.
