Life as a lazy slug

Life as a lazy slug that's me. I find recently that is what I do and it never gets better lol. I have a number of mobility problems and while my head tells me I am slim and fit go for it, my body says's think again buddy!

In the dim distant past I was that slim fit person. People used to joke that I was never out of the gym or classes. The the dreaded arthritis  struck and I was sunk in the water, with no survivor's at all. I also damaged my back and the older I get the more it crumbles like the old ancient ruin that I am .

This is turn helped me to gain around 6 stone which as you can imagine does not help this sinking ship to keep afloat. The problem is when you are slim and fit and able bodied and then you stop it all, things start to unfold oh so quickly. You just get into a deep hole which gets deeper as time slips past. You are desperately trying to climb up those slippy walls, but you just end up at the bottom again.

Two years ago I hit on what I thought was my dream answer. I had a gastric band. It was going to be my life line to a better world , or was it?
Trust me to be one of those "it didn't work" statistics that you see. Trust me to yet again fail  where many have succeeded. I did lose 28 pounds but then nothing and it just made me feel so embarrassed and foolish.

I was once again cast out onto open water (to stick with this nautical theme) without a life raft in sight.
So I am a lazy slug but its not by choice really its not. Just because someone is fat it does not mean that most are  sitting eating all day and not doing any fitness. It could be as in my case you just can't!
I recently told my doctor that it is a good job I am "Jollyjilly" because if I were not it would be all too easy to say "please let me go" and throw me overboard.

So I am not going to give up and if you read my blog you will know a very lovely lady is helping me with her diet called The Jane Plan (www.janeplan.com ) I am going to follow it for a month and beyond I hope and I am not going to beat myself up for being a forced lazy slug!

So if you are fighting things like me please let me know maybe we can keep each other going.

Lazy slugs of the world unite!!!

Sammy's Great Escape

Sammy's Great Escape is a charming little movie for the little people in your life. With the great name of Warner's behind it I am sure it will be a huge it this year.

Sammy and Ray, leatherback turtles and friends forever, are enjoying an atoll’s water and sand, shepherding new hatchlings Ricky and Ella out to sea. Suddenly, a poacher swoops in and ships them off to be part of a spectacular aquarium show for tourists in Dubai. The kingpin of the place, Big D the seahorse, enlists them in his plans for a great escape. But with their new friends Jimbo the bug-eyed blob fish, Lulu the snippy lobster and a whole family of penguins, Sammy and Ray hatch breakout plans of their own. That is when little Ricky and Ella arrive, determined to break in to rescue them. After a series of thrilling adventures and narrow escapes, our heroes head south to meet up with Shelly, Sammy’s first and only love.

So hope you will go and watch it really looks fun.

Weigh In Day with The Jane Plan

Weigh in Day with the Jane Plan today. If you have been reading (and many thanks if you have) you will know I have been on a diet.
The Jane Plan is a diet system where you get all your food delivered to your home, all wrapped and reading to go. The choice is great with lots of yummy meals to pick from.
Some of my favourite's are the snack pots which let me tell you are fab and yummy and more lol.
Its so easy as it is all worked out for you and there is no stress or guess work involved at all.
There is plenty of support if you need it, you just have to pick up the telephone and their ready to help.
So the first week is gone and all in all it went well. I must be honest and say I am not drinking the amount of water I should, I will make sure I am better in week two.
I thought I would be so hungry as we were coming off Christmas but not so, I had bits but in general I was not too bad.
So I know you are waiting for the big reveal lol so here it comes !
I LOST 9 YES I SAID 9 pounds can you believe that. I am amazed and pleased. I am lucky to get to try this diet plan and I so wish I could continue until I have lost it all. I have health problems which would be helped by losing weight so only good can come of it.
So I have another week (I am a lucky girl) and fingers crossed for at least another two or three. I will have to be good as I am off on holiday in the next couple of weeks and I will try not to eat too much.
This plan is great and I really would recommend it to you all, check it out.

Day Three And Four Jane Plan

Day Three And Four Jane Plan

Well its day three and Four of my Jane Plan and I am doing ok. I did found it hard as I make cake today and went to cake decorating and that was hard. Come on icing and butter frosting and diets just don't mix lol.
I was strong and tried really hard but a little lick may have come into force ! In saying that I did not continue eating once I got home, which has got to be good.

I am just about to go into 4 now as I was worn out last night and forgot to post. I have to say the food is yummy and I really look forward to checking my box to see what to have. I also love the not having to think about what I am going to have, how many calories and so on.
So today is also going to be hard as I have friends coming, and as I type I have a cake stand full of chocolate cupcakes!! I will stay strong my friends so wish me luck.

Jane Plan Day Two

Jane Plan Day Two

Morning everyone. Well its day two with my Jane Plan diet. I thought I would start with a recap of day one.
It went well and yes I was hungry a bit at times, but in general I was fine. Now considering its been Christmas and I have had enough bad food to sink a ship, I did fine.

I had a lovely muesli for breakfast. A piece of fruit mid day ok not as nice as a cake but hey you have to pay for your past crimes lol.
Then I had a lovely chilli with some green beans. My snack of some fruit biscuits I saved for later, as I normally get the munches working television.

I have to say I did not drink much water, but  I went and got a big bottle and I am making sure I do today.

So day two and I was up early. I have just had another lovely breakfast think and I plan to have one of the snack pots of lunch as they are yummy.
I am also going to try and make sure I don't sit so much.
If you want to join me then check out

Day one Jane Plan Diet

Today I am starting my Jane Plan diet. I am very excited as I have been over eating sooooo much over Christmas, like most people I think.

All my food came packed up and ready to go. It is just that simple. No worry about how many calories or fat, or sugar and no stress. You have a wonderful selection of things to pick from so no chance of being bored at all.

I had a telephone call this morning from Jane , she wished me well and explained the plan and asked me if I had any questions. This meant I was all set and ready to go.
So I will post daily and use it as my diet blog post and hopefully it will keep me on track. So wish me well and I would love to hear all about your diet plans as well.

Harry Potter Game Review

Harry Potter Game Review today and I have been slow getting it posted, I was just having so much fun playing it!

This game would be so exciting for the younger fan of the Harry Potter movies. Each scene is just like the film sets and you can get to be Harry and fight all his villain's. I think the younger fan would love this and really be hard to get them off .
The graphics are really good and just like the film. You are put in the place of Harry Potter and it really does put you in the game.

As I said super for the younger gamer but as and adult I also found it very relaxing and fun. Its is very easy and simple to use and if you have never played any game before, this could be the one for you.

Available from stores or at   www.amazon.co.uk

Please note I was not paid for this review only receiving the game to play.

Happy New Year Jar

Happy New Year to you all. I hope that Christmas and New Year was great and you had a fab time. We (that being Mr.jolly lol) had a very peaceful one, which was fine with us. Our daughter was having fun in Paris France and our son with his lovely wife.
I don't need to go out to have fun but I must admit its still fun to do so some times.
As you get older I think new year makes you more reflective about life. You think of the years gone past more than the years to come. You also think of those that you have lost !

I'm not sad as I have a delightful family and I am very lucky. I think this year will be great. I hope my children have a great year and one we can look back on. I did read about a great idea so I thought I would pass it on, I am going to try it for sure.
You get a jar and over the year as good things happen you write it down and put into the jar. It doesn't have to be big things it could just be a smile! Then next new year you open it up and read them. You can then see what great things have helped to make your year.

I may not have been partying last night but I had a lovely phone call from my children and one of my nephews, a nice glass of wine and fab fireworks on T.V. Much love to all my family and friends.

So Happy New Year and thanks for taking time to read my blog.
