Major case of the Wanties

I haven't done one of these in a while because I found a new way of coping with the urge to own things! I have a Pintrest account and one of my boards is called "major case of the wanties" so I have been pinning things to my board left, right and centre! Here are some of the things I have been lusting after lately:

Labyrinth door knocker earrings! 

A super cool bright clock (i love the plain white with the colour it really pops) 

A gorgeous wire wrapped pendant!  

Purple Hair! (who doesn't want purple hair?)

Nightmare before Christmas slip ons!! 

Colouring in wallpaper!! ( I want this soooooo much ) 

OPI in Disney colours! 

A stunningly simple starfish and coral ring.

A deep Purple Swede satchel bag! 

Blogging these has just made me want these this all over again!!! Which one do you like the most? I would love all of them but if I were pushed to just pick one it would be the wallpaper! imaging the hours and hours of fun with it! I would invite all my friends over and ask them to do a section each! 

Happy Anniversary to us!!!

Thursday August 23rd was mine and Ollie's official 1 year together anniversary! I cant believe that we have been together for a year (well just over)!

Its been a happy, easy year and makes me realise that loving someone and being loved should come easily. We had had our difficult times but they seem to be easy too - us standing together makes us stronger and things easier to handle.

I love him with all my heart.

Happy Anniversary Pudge! xxx

A Tale of Two Kitties

Ollie and I went and spent the weekend with The Stimpsons on the 7/8 of July and both got tattoos done! Bev is an apprentice tattooist but is truly amazing. I have become a customer for life and will continue to go back to her for more and more tattoos!

Here is my new one:

A Hello Kitty lady bird on my left ankle! I love love love her. Bev will be getting the same tattoo in the same place so we have matching ones! This will be the 2nd of my tattoos that I have shared with friends. The heart/butterflies on my upper back is shared with Rosie! She has one of the butterflies on her hip.

And here is Ollie's. A Zombie Hello Kitty on his left leg! I love her! Bev loves her! Ollie loves her! Bev did an amazing job on this and it looks sooooooo good!

Both of us are all healed now and thinking about what to have next. . . . . . .watch this space!

Diet - Week 4

Well I've had a really really bad week this week. I haven't done any exercise what so ever due to pain! I have had, what I think, is a trapped nerve in my groin. It's been agony and on Wednesday I could barely walk. Its still snagging every now and again but has eased up a little and I'm planning on get back to it next week. So as you can imagine I dreaded getting on the scale this morning . . . .was it good or was it bad???

Diet - Week 3

Well I've had an up and down kind of week this week. I've not been well. I've been light headed and dizzy and when I stop moving the room starts to spin, I've had nausea and a headache for the last few days too. I went to the doctors this morning because of this and a few other problems (wheezing and an aching hip) He has told me that I am suffering from vertigo (its not the dieting that's doing it) and unfortunately this doesn't have a cure. Also I may have asthma so have been given a puffer to use for a month and then I need to go back to the Dr to see if its made a difference. My hip is aching because of the amount of exercise I have been doing! Apparently I'm doing too much too soon and am losing too much weight too fast!

I hate Dr's one minute your too fat and the next overdoing it! Well I'm not changing my routine and I'm going to keep at it.

Now for the good news:

Weight loss this week: 3lbs:

Total Weight Loss: 14lbs (1st)

Also I have been tracking my measurements and my walking distance:

(S) = start /(T) = today
Bust: (S) 125cm - (T) 123.5cm = 1.5cm lost
Waist:(S) 123cm - (T) 116cm = 6cm lost
Hips: (S) 137cm - (T) 135cm = 2cm lost
Arm: (S) 39cm - (T) 39cm = 0cm lost
Thigh: (S) 70cm - (T) 68cm = 2cm lost

Distance walked this week: 11.41km

Overall I'm very happy with the result, now I just need to shake off the Dr's negativity and use it to fuel more weight loss.
