The witterings of an Essex girl

Was in two minds whether or not to go to Slimming world last night as I haven't been well this past week.
I wanted to go because I am addicted to getting weighed and knowing how much weight I have lost but on the other hand I was worried that a gain might upset me.

Anyway, I went and lost 2lb! That means I now have only 2lb to lose until I have lost 2 stone!

I can't believe how much weight I have lost already. I only started in the last week of June.

It fantastic and I'm so pleased I went last night as I feel wonderful today.

I have been swimming this morning with my friend who really encouraged me to swim that little bit faster and I have already walked for 2 hours today and still have another 1 1/2 hours walking left to do to pick my children up.

I love my new diet, it's fabulous and it makes me feel great.

Can't remember if I wrote that my driving test was on Sept 30th but it was and I failed.
I pulled out of a junction and had to stop because of something coming from the left and it meant an immediate fail.

I was really disappointed but have booked another for 10th November so hopefully I'll pass next time.
I was sure I was going to fail on my manouevers but the examiner said they were really good and said I did them brilliantly. He also said my driving was good but because the junction thing was serious it meant a fail.
I wasn't even nervous on the day and had had a really good lesson before hand too. Oh well, I know I'll never go across a junction like that again!
It was really disappointing though and I was so upset I cried.
Oh well fingers crossed for the 10th November now then!

This week is my first week back at uni. I'm really looking forward to all the work even though I know it will be my toughest year yet, well it is my final year.
I still haven't worked out a question for my dissertation even though I know the subject I am doing. One of my friends has written 2,000 words of his dissertation already!!!! He also wrote an essay over the summer for one of our modules but has since found out that the essay questions posted on studynet were actually wrong. He's none too pleased and I don't blame him.
I've just ordered a few books from the library to write an essay due in December, thought I'd make an early start too. This year is going to be my best year! I'm going to work damn hard to get really good grades so that I can do my teacher training next year.
Anyway I'm off to study... actually I'm not too well, I have a cold and what I really want to do is eat but I'm 4lb away from losing 2 stone and will not let myself be beaten just because of a pesky cold.
Seriously, off to study.
Take care.

Love and sunshine,

Laura x
