So it's Friday the 13th...ooooohhh lol Hoping to watch some horror movies tonight with Michael :) It's absolutely gorgeous here today, which makes a change for Scotland! Lovely weather 2 days in a row? too good to be true!
Yesterday I made myself and Cam up a packed lunch, jumped in the car, drove to the esplanade, which is a mile long. Put Cam in her buggy as its a bit far for her to walk, so she just ate the whole way and we spoke about the birds and boats that we could see. So I walked the mile and just kept walking the whole way into the town centre then walked back again. Eating went quite well yesterday, which I'm please about.
Breakfast - A bagel with ham and light cheese. Herbal tea.
Snack - Banana
Lunch - Tuna with wholewheat pasta & mayo. 2 oranges.
Snack - Tiny wee drop of ice cream from Camryn
Tea - Chicken with oyster & spring onion sauce with rice.
Snack - crisps
Then went out a walk along the esplanade and back last night with my friend. Upping my water intake went not too bad yesterday, still not as much as I would like, but today is a new day. Not sure if I will go walking again today as my house work needs done lol oops.
Feeling pretty positive today and knowing I'm not 16 stone anymore is such a confidence boost! Even though I know I'm now 14 stone, I still can't believe it! Really need to go some clothes shopping as my clothes are wayyy to big for me now, even my bras :( I just got new bras in November! bye bye size 40E! lol

And The 2 Stone Is Gone!
That's right I have finally lost 2 stone :) Lost 1lb this week, I wasn't caring what I lost as long as I hit the 2stone mark lol Lost some inches as well which I am really pleased with. My next target is 13st 7lbs, I am still aiming for 12st by July, but we shall see ;)
This week I really am going to give it my all, have feeling like I haven't been drinking water as much as I used to. I was drinking over 2 litres each day, now I am lucky if it's a litre! So really getting my head back in the game this week. I also start my new job next Monday, I'm really nervous about it and I am a bit worried how my eating is going to be, but it is only 4 hours a day, so I don't think it will do much harm. I used to work 10 hour days and would eat just for quickness, then got my head in the game and was eating more than my 5 a day lol
This week I also started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, most of you may or may not know who she is, she is the female trainer on the biggest loser USA. She is fab! The idea is to do her DVD everyday for 30 days and lose 20lbs. The DVD incorporates strength,cardio,abs. There is alot of jumping about If I am honest, I live on a first floor flat so I have to wait until my downstairs neighbour is out before I do anything lol There are 3 different levels as well so if you find the first level a bit easy you can always move up. I am finding it brilliant so far, Zumba was off last night due to the instructor being off sick, so I was really glad I done the DVD before hand.
Lots of walking today and better eating , not treats until after tea :)

So the thing about Sarah is.....
Well today I decided to create a blog, yes a blog. I have never really understood these things but I'm going to give it a go anyway :)
I'm Sarah, I'm 24. My nickname is SozzleStar or Sozzle. It was given to me by a very close friend of mine, always saying that I was "sozzled" on a night out, she then started calling me wee sozzle star and it has stuck every since, wee drunken star ;)
I'm a mummy to my 3 year old daughter, Camryn. She's a little madam, very intelligent, I forget how old she is sometimes as it's like having a conversation with a teenager!
I have been with my other half, Michael since 2006. We got engaged in 2010/2011, he proposed 31.12.10 and I said "yes" on 01.01.2011 :) We have so much in common, though we can be total opposites at times. Never met a guy who can make my blood boil and my heart skip a beat at the same time.
After several years of battling with my weight, constantly thinking I was fat, yes even at 15 when I was 10st! I decided that it was MY time, I had to loss weight for ME and no one else. Michael constantly tells me that I am beautiful, but you know I don't think I have ever believed him, until now.
I was always between 11st 7lbs and 12st 7lbs, I suffered from depression and the age of 18 and found comfort in food, though still stayed around that weight, I think that was due to partying every weekend! In 2008 I fell pregnant with our daughter and went from 12st 7lbs to 13st 7lbs. I had a great pregnancy, though was sick morning,noon and night up until 6/7 months gone. Had a not too bad labour (how good can it get?) I never had any "bad" feelings during my pregnancy, then as soon as she was born, I didn't feel a connection at all. I always say it was because she wasn't what I expected. Even now I still don't feel a connection with her, like I'm her mum. But its something I have to deal with and I'm taking steps to change this.
During my pregnancy I walked everywhere! Up until the week she was due I was still walking 6 miles a day. Then once I had her I soon developed post natal depression. I stayed in all day, left her in her bouncer but still breastfed. I went to the doctor and told him how I felt, told him I felt like a machine to her and not a mum. He said "well that is all you are to her"
I have been on and off anti-d's for a few years now, I got engaged and we thought this is finally our year we are going to be happy. We then discovered some problems with my parents and my Dad suffered a major stroke which left him paralysed down his right side. We didn't know if he would survive or not. During this time I did what I done best which was ate. It's how I coped with it. It's a year tomorrow since my Dad's stroke and he is coping really well, coming along leaps and bounds :)
In January I decided this was my year! I had spent the past couple of years helping my family and it had taken its toll on me. 4th January I decided to join a local weight loss group, the class manager, Michelle was lovely. Looking threw the diet plans I started to realise I could do this.
I returned to my class a week later and I had lost 6lbs! I could not believe it! Why did I never try this before!!!
So now you know quite a bit about me, I hope you continue to read on about my weight loss journey and I may possibly inspire you to do the same :)
