How time flies

Goodness - it has been approx 18 months since I last posted to my little blog - can't believe how time has flown - scary really - before I know it I will be in my 40's !!
My life is very different since the last blog post - wonder what my life will look like in the next 18 months ! Hopefully I will be living someplace hot ..
Life is full of travelling at the moment - Am loving it - nothing like travelling to broaden horizons and get some great experiences- I can most highly recommend working for an airline so you get to travel this little globe of ours...

Have not blogged for about 4 months, Facebook world took over for awhile, but have popped back to blog world for my first visit of 2008, it's good to be back. 2007 a busy but good year, lots of travelling and lots to do at work, reached year 4 of married life, and had the most succesful year of dieting ever, lost more then 3 stone in weight by following Weight Watchers, it is so great to get to goal weight, I managed it in 11months.. I am happier now!!

See y'all soon

I am back for a moment

I Have been away for months, sorry been distracted by the facebook phenomenon, but just thought I would drop back in , to keep my blog account live..

A few photos of my travels ...

This is me on Jumeirah beach in Dubai.. Oh my goodness, what a HOT place, I have never experienced 46 degree weather, it was most fab. Luxurious is an understatement, I have never seen so many custom made sports cars, and womens dripping big diamonds, all quite fascinating. Camels are big in Dubai, this pile of cuddly camels made me laugh, hence the photo..

The Burj el Arab hotel is a sight to be seen, I am just saving up to get to stay there, at £15,000 a night it may take me awhile!!

Kenya + Barcelona

I have returned to blog world for a moment, busy busy times in the past couple of months, lots of travel, including Barcelona, and Nairobi in Kenya, what a great experience it was, I shall add some pictures to give a flavour..

Above are pictures of the elephant orphanage just on the outskirts of Nairobi, followed by me feeding a giraffe at the giraffe sanctuary, what an amazing experience to be up that close with these majstic animals. I cannot wait to return!

This is me at Gaudi's House in Barcelona by the Salamanda, what a creative man he was, his designs are certinly out there, in terms of being kinda weird, but I kinda liked his architecture .

Fab tapas and even more fab jugs of sangria !

Lillies

I have returned with more weight loss updates - Well I have now lost 21 pounds, I am super chuffed with myself as it has taken 6 weeks to get this far, which, if I am honest I thought it would take longer to get these sort of levels, so am pleased with these speedy results. I am convinced now I am able to stay on this type of eating regime, as I had a really bad week last week as it was my birthday week, and over ate my points by about 20, and still managed to loose 1lb. (YIPPEE)

Went on a course at work last week which was talking about the future of the on-line world, that with version Web 2.0, blogs are the way to go, (amongst other things) ...so felt slightly ahead of the game now , as I have a blog account that is more then a year old. Although just had to upgrade my blog on this visit to be able to access my account, (bit of a faff) am hoping I will be able to remember how to acess it in the new fandangled way.

Feel a bit crap at the moment due to a cold , but if this is just due to a change in weather to spring, I will happily suffer my way through a cold to get to thoe lovely crisp spring days.

Kinda wished I had found an excuse to have a meeting at the clubhouse at the airport on Thursday, a I have been told it was full of A list celebrities jetting out to LA for the Oscars, hate to admit it, but I can be a bit of a star spotter at times !

Countdown to my trip to Barcelona on Friday, looking forward to slightly warmer climes,

sangria (although this is a picture ofa mojito, it still falls in the category of spanish drinks !)

and albondigas..

1 stone = 14lbs

Yes I have passed my first milestone at WW this evening, I reached my 1st stone of weight loss in 3 weeks, it was not too hard either thankfully!!! I got to eat a little bit of what I craved, through these 3 weeks which meant it was not total depravation.. So I highly recommend anyone to go on points diet through Weight Watchers, it really really does work !
Thanks to my blog buddies for your words of encouragement, the support mechanism from work colleagues and friends around me is making a difference ...

YIPPEEE

I went to Weight watchers session number 3 this evening, am well over the moon as I lost another 3lbs, making total weight loss in two weeks - 9.5 pounds, I am super motivated to keep going, even though I have had to sacrifice creamy mocha drinks from Starbucks !!
