Well I guess it’s what comes of spending two solid days curled up with a poorly ill small boy … it’s only natural I would come down with it! I’ve been wiped out! Without going into TOO much detail – I’ve had major stomach cramps, wanted to do nothing but sleep … and as for the rest … let’s just say that both ends weren’t very far from a bucket or the toilet at all times!
On the upside – appetite hasn’t exactly been an issue!! That’s one benefit of being ill like that! LOL I actually got new batteries for my scales the day I got ill (before it hit) but as it was the middle of the day I’d promised myself I would wait until the next morning to get a “true” reading.
Before I got the yucky nasty bug, my appetite had been returning slowly and I was beginning to be able to eat more and more (I’ve realised it’s all totally related to being closer to moving day – a week today!) and I had assumed that I would be a couple of pounds heavier, but I got on the scales this afternoon (middle of the day) when I was feeling better (after drinking lots and lots of liquids) and I was 132lbs (9 stone 6) on my 5’8″ height … that is exactly the same weight as I was on October 7th (just re-read through back posts to check) which was BEFORE my appetite started to come back.
See part of me says that is 11 days in which I have NOT lost weight and my original plan was to be at my goal of 9 stone/126lbs by moving day … but unless I literally eat NOTHING for the next week there is no way I can drop 6lbs … or can I???
The other part of me says that as my appetite has increased and I’ve eaten more on a daily basis over the last 11 days that it is actually GOOD to have maintained my weight. I have to keep reminding myself that thin does NOT equal happy – thin is just a bonus of achieving happy.
I took measurements tonight too – my hips haven’t changed but I’ve dropped another inch from my waist since I last measured on 4th October. I am now 37-27-37 which is apparently a perfect hourglass figure … and TBH if it were toned I think I could even learn to love it!
Sooo … that is the next plan … but that’s a whole other post!!

Oi Oi! Do I hear a breakthrough in the Ness corner??? Seriously, I know this is going to sound like crap from me, however, I can truly say when my stats were v close to your current, thats the happiest I have ever been with my figure. But unfortunately we always think it would be better just one more inch smaller…
I would “Kill” to have an hourglass figure like that now. I really would. It’s gorgeously feminine. Sadly I’ve messed my body up so much it doesn’t gain weight in a normal way so i’m just saggy skin and lumps and bumps. Hang onto being a woman because its where all the power is. Hope you feel much brighter soon

Lola it doesn’t sound like crap from you at all … and to be honest, knowing you through your blog and your comments on here has helped me to avoid the slippery slope that you are on (I know you know I mean that in the nicest way!!)
I’m very much saggy skin, lumps and bumps though – it comes from childbirth and it’s the one thing I NEED to shift … other than another inch off my thighs LOL
Ha! Well all that time you spend worrying about your weight, you can now put into
a) becoming a rock hard abs queen,
b) eating what you like (within reason) because you burnt it off and need to fuel for muscle
c) working on your strategy to become Angela Nicoles twin sister and showing up wherever STBX happens to be, and rubbing his face in it! You get to have your one “revenge night” And if thats not motivation to get a personal trainer, I don’t know what is
You have to remember to live life too, because being a Gym junkie is still being messed up. I have a feeling you will be ok though, because you already got the stats, you just need the attitude!
Yeah and that’s why I love you Lola xx
Will check in on your blog soon … been so BUSY moving boxes I’ve not even had time to post here today! LOL
