Happy New Year

A new decade already, I really can’t believe it! I remember new years eve 1999 like it was yesterday – I was so prepared for the Y2K bug, I was a little upset when it never happened haha

Last night we went to a party at my brothers house but didn’t stay too long, it was a bit too ‘drunken’ for me and my husband – he likes a drink but doesn’t get silly and I don’t drink at all. We went home early and let off a few flying lanterns and watched some fireworks from our back porch. It was nice :)

Goals for 2010 are to continue with my weight loss journey and travel more!

When I win the lottery

If I ever win the lottery…no no…wait…I mean when I win the lottery I am buying a turbo air hockey table, among other things. I am going to live in a big mansion with 20 rooms including a gym, swimming pool room, nightclub and games room :)

It may be a boring and predictable ‘If I win the lotto’ dream, but whatever :)

Weight Loss Journey

This time three years ago I weighed more than I ever have before in my adult life, I was a whopping 15 stone and 10 pounds, that’s 210 pounds — and I am only 5 foot tall — I was biiiiig.

I am currently weighing in at 9 stone 11 pounds and am well on my way to getting to my goal weight.

I have lost the weight the slow and sensible way. I work out 5 days a week and consume around 1400 calories a day. It can be really frustrating losing it this way, because I can go literally months without losing any thing — but I also think it’s the most sensible way to do it because it’s a sustainable life style change. I have no fears that I will suddenly come off the ‘diet’ and pile all the weight back on.

I give myself mini goals as they help keep me motivated, my next mini goal is 9.2 pounds — this will put me in the same stone as I was 5 years ago when the husband and I got together and it will mean I am no longer in the Obese BMI category.

I am unsure of my main goal weight — according to statistics my ideal weight is around 7 stone 7 pounds but that seems insane to me, I think I will be happy at about 9 stone 9 pounds but I guess I just have to get there and wait and see how I feel.

Who am I?

Well how rude, in my excitement to get blogging I completely forgot to introduce myself to you!

My name is Brad The Riot, I am 29 years old and was born and bred in the UK but moved out to America two years ago to be with my man.

We are moving house in a few months time. We are getting married in December 2010. We currently have no children and no plans to have any any time soon. I work from home full time doing a variety of things.

I have lost 6 stone over the last two years.
I love Nintendo and am always playing my Wii, NDS and N64.
I love nothing more than a good shopping session and am the bargain queen.
I love television, especially reality shows and soaps.

And that is me in a nut shell :)

Owchies!!

Yeah, that new work out DVD I got certainly gives you a work out — I am embarrassed to admit I didn’t even finish it because it totally killed me, but as it was my first time I think that’s OK, I am sure I will get better at it as time goes on and I use it more.

It was hard going…as in..there’s a lot of actual dance moves in it that you have to learn and my coordination and balance are not my best abilities!

I hurt today though, every muscle aches and as bothersome as that is…I know it means I was working muscles I don’t usually work so it’s all good :)

Hello there :)

Hello and welcome to my new site, I am so excited I can’t even begin to tell you.

I have run a few websites before by I always had a friend create them for me, I didn’t know anything about buying domain names or hosting and least of all setting up wordpress.

This time I decided I wanted to do it all myself, and it’s taken me a while to get it all right but now here I am on my own domain blogging away.
