(i kno, what the hell is with me and food) . that is not the good news, the good news is that i have to walk like a mile there and back to get to the station from work coz it is in a weird place ant the train and the walk is faster than the bus. so basically im forced to walk 2miles every day to get to and from work. so im getting way more exercise than i would normally. and to be honest, i dont really mind the walk. it gives me some time <span>to</span> think. it is the only time of the day when i just walk and clear my head. i know it sounds crazy, but im in such deep thought i dont even realize how long i have been walking. so a tip guys, when u need to clear ur head, get away and just think go for a long walk. you will be suppressed how much better you feel after.</p> <p>but anyway. the diet. well its going ok. i have not really been strict but im not really caring at the moment. im just focused on exercising more. i have been quite busy so i dont really have time to cook so i just grab something at work. this is a typical day.</p> <p>breakfast</p> <p>cereal -i really like fruit and fiber . it keeps me full</p> <p>lunch <br>at work, tuna melt panini, or a sandwich</p> <p>dinner<br>sandwich when i get home</p> <p>maybe a hot chocolate before bed <br>and two cups of tea at work</p> <p>i know i does not sound like much but it keeps me going. and i think the sandwiches are around 250-400 cal each, so its more than enough </p> <p>blah blach enough about all that.</p> <p>im going home to london this weeked for my sis birthday. should be good. mmm cake (obseesd) i know lol</p> <p>ooh and i have new pics!</p> <p>take care</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2009/03/05/bk-again-5695930/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2009-03-01:/2009/03/01/who-do-you-think-i-am-5669339/cleolewis2009-03-01T01:24:22+01:002009-03-01T01:24:22+01:00 <p>Hey, I dont usually do this but i have not had a chance to take a pic for a while.</p> <p>I have a video on youtube, watch it .</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW4kLtJnhiY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW4kLtJnhiY</a></p> <p>feel free to comment on here or youtube about what you think my ethnic make up is, if any. </p> <p>hope ur all good</p> <p>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2009/03/01/who-do-you-think-i-am-5669339/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2009-02-22:/2009/02/22/feeling-sorry-for-myself-5624497/cleolewis2009-02-22T03:41:25+01:002009-02-22T03:41:25+01:00 <p>hey. I hope u are all cool. Im really trying to blog more often but things are so crazy at the mo. i have so much uni work to do, m family is falling apart and im having loads of arguments with m boyfriend. I feel like m diet is the only thing i have control of in my life and i piss myself of because i dnt feel like i even control that as well as i should. people say im to hard on myself, but i hate m body, i hate that my life i such a mess and i hate that nothing goes the way i want it to. I really dont know why i cant stick to anything. i really dont. i need medical help lol. not as in pills, as in psychological. maybe i have some deep routed childhood trauma that im to scared to address. or maybe im just fat and lazy. i dont know. any ideas....</p> <p>anyway.</p> <p>i will blog tomorrow </p> <p>when im in a better state of mind</p> <p>much love. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2009/02/22/feeling-sorry-for-myself-5624497/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2009-02-16:/2009/02/16/16th-feb-5585789/cleolewis2009-02-16T13:47:01+01:002009-02-16T13:47:01+01:00 <p>Hey. i know i know its been ages. But i really am not good with this posting everyday thing. Im not gonna bang on about how much i weigh coz its getting a bit boring now. Well, thats what i think... My Statistics on how many people view my blog would say otherwise!</p> <p>anyway</p> <p>as you all know im a diet freak. But i have this weird inability to stick to diets and exercise. Well that is soon about to change my lovelies. I have found this new motivation. OK dont laugh, but watch the biggest looser. I really recommend it. Like, when you would normally sit and watch random videos on you tube watch a biggest looser video. you dont have to sit and watch the whole thing, just watch one part at a time when you get the chance. it will motivate you. i know its so typical american style over dramatic over emotional tv but its worth watching. If American tv it truly unbearable i recommend the biggest looser australia. just type tblaus into youtube. i think there are 3 full seasons on there. let me know what you think.</p> <p>i have a lecture and some things to do so i will finnish this blog soon </p> <p>much love </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2009/02/16/16th-feb-5585789/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-11-13:/2008/11/13/day-5031019/cleolewis2008-11-13T19:41:22+01:002008-11-13T19:41:22+01:00 <p><strong><span><span>hey its day 5.</span></span></strong></p> <p>im starting to feel alot better about this new diet. i think i have more energy and feel really motivated. last night i got really tired quite early im not really sure why tho. i ate around 1000cal i think.</p> <p>i dont have much time as eastenders is on in a bit</p> <p>this is what i had on day 4.</p> <p>2 bananas </p> <p>chili con carne</p> <p>brown rice</p> <p>some cheese. </p> <p><span><span><strong>today. day 5</strong></span></span></p> <p>soup </p> <p>cottage pie</p> <p>banana </p> <p> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/11/13/day-5031019/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-11-11:/2008/11/11/day-3-i-think-5020799/cleolewis2008-11-11T23:52:34+01:002008-11-11T23:52:34+01:00 <p>Hey was sup</p> <p>i just thought i would give everyone an update. I have been shopping and im not really sure what/if i should stick to a diet. I have decided that maybe i should try eating good food and making good choices. This way i will not binge on all the foods that i want and have not allowed myself to eat. But part of me feels like i can not be trusted. i know that if im not strict i will just eat whatever. I was thinking maybe its strict or nothing.</p> <p>way back when i did the atkins diet. and i lost quite alot of weight then. i was thinking maybe do an atkins diet style with low carbs and lots of protein. but im not really sure yet.</p> <p>These are my new goals. i might print them off so i can be reminded. post them around my room so when i go to gab something bad i will think again. </p> <p>GOALS</p> <p>TO LOOSE 26 TO 30 POUNDS BUY FEB THE 9TH. THIS IS SO I CAN GO TO AWAY FOR VALITINES DAY AND LOOK DIFFERENT.<br> I WANT PEOPLE TO NOTICE A DIFFERENCE<br> I WANT TO SHOP FOR COOL CLOTHES THAT LOOK GOOD ON ME<br> I WANT TO GO AWAY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW I LOOK AND JUST HAVE FUN</p> <p>i was thinking maybe i should post pictures more often. maybe like every 3 days. this way i think if im visually reminded about how i look i will do something about it. but on the other hand, i dont think there will be that much difference between 2-3 days and i think weekly pictures will make a more dramatic difference.</p> <p>ok so what have i had to eat</p> <p>well yesterday was a bad start. i think i tried to much to soon so i ended up binging at the end of the day.</p> <p>woke up late missed breakfast</p> <p>had</p> <p>bowl of soup. was around 300cal</p> <p>then at 10pm got hungry</p> <p>beans 100cal<br> 4 fish fingers 200</p> <p>the at 2pm was starving and could not sleep</p> <p>had some wedges prob. 250cal<br> veg burger. 120 cals</p> <p>see not good. drank hardly any water and did no exercise. see bad start</p> <p>today</p> <p>mars delight choc.<br> steak<br> leeks<br> wedges<br> large roast pepper</p> <p>banana </p> <p>1 cup of herbal tea.</p> <p>i think thats it. im not sure how much i weight at the moment as i dont have a scales. or i dont have a tap measure. but when i go home at the weekend i will post the info and let yall know. </p> <p>im a bit worried about London because there is so much temptation for bad food and sweets and snacks. old habits really do die hard. or whatever the saying is. i cant remember.</p> <p>ok i think that is enough for today. i wish i could whack out essays in the time it takes me to do a blog. lol</p> <p>peace and love<br> cleoxx </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/11/11/day-3-i-think-5020799/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-11-09:/2008/11/09/not-really-sure-what-to-call-this-on-back-on-the-wagon-5010235/cleolewis2008-11-09T23:44:07+01:002008-11-09T23:44:07+01:00 <p>Hey<br>I got a message from blog.co.uk saying how i have not been online for ages. so i figured i would get back into this. Just so you all know my trip to Jamaica this summer was amazing. i had the best time even. I am still with my boyfriend. he is still so nice and all i could want in a boyfriend and love him loads.</p> <p>Your probably wondering if the blog will still work as im back. But good news (ish). I am in the early planning stages of my next trip. I am thinking late jan 2009 or feb. The reason why im starting now is that i have not done much at all over the summer up until now. <br>I also think its good that i start now and not in Jan when its only a matter of weeks. I also think i wont feel as bad about x-mas if i have done the leg work first.</p> <p>so ok i have my new pics. deep breath...<br><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/150/2974150_7d73d36b17_s.jpeg" alt="Photo0065" hspace="5" vspace="5"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/151/2974151_a09d02e612_s.jpeg" alt="Photo0066" hspace="5" vspace="5"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/153/2974153_929336dff1_s.jpeg" alt="Photo0067" hspace="5" vspace="5"></p> <p>As u can see.</p> <p>I have no waist. need to work on that. well everything as a matter of fact. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/11/09/not-really-sure-what-to-call-this-on-back-on-the-wagon-5010235/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-06-08:/2008/06/08/17-days-4288973/cleolewis2008-06-08T16:10:41+02:002008-06-08T16:10:41+02:00 <p>Hey sorry i have not had a chance to blog.

I cant believe I only have 22days.</p> <p>I have just remember that I am going to fly from Jamaica to Miami for my birthday weekend. The whole purpose of the trip is to shop!. I really do not want the shopping trip to be like last year when I, a girl who LOVES shopping, clothes and fashion, wanted to go home. I really did not want to shop I was kind of walked around feeling really out of place and fat. I just thought, there is no point. nothing will fit well, I just look fat and ugly. </p> <p>so this year I really want it to be different. for anyone who thinks imp a silly insecure girls who just want to please her boyfriend, please think again. I just want to feel happy about my body so I can try things on and not feel silly.<br>Its not like im trying to loose an unrealistic amount of weight, I think and hope it can be done</p> <p>I was thinking about what is motivating me. here is my list.</p> <p>1 IM GOING TO SEE MY BOYFRIEND WHO I HAVE NOT SEEN IN 6 WEEKS<br>2 IM GOING TO BE LAZING ABOUT ON THE BEACH<br>3 IM GOING TO SEE FRIENDS IN JAMAICA WHO I HAVE ALSO NOT SEEN IN 6 WEEK. I DON&rsquo;T WANT THEM TO THINK I HAVE OUT ON WEIGHT<br>4 IM GOING TO BE WORKING IN THE SUMMER AND I DON&rsquo;T WANT MY EMPLOYER TO THINK IM FAT A LAZY<br>5 I WANT TO LOOK PRETTY. I KNOW IT SOUNDS SHALLOW BUT WORKING IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY IN JAMAICA INVOLVES LOOKING GOOD.<br>6 I AM GOING SHOPPING IN MIAMI FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY CLOTHES THAT FIT ME<br>7 I REALLY DON&rsquo;T WANT TO GET ON THAT SCALES ON SUNDAY AND BE DISAPPOINTED.<br>8 IM GOING TO MEET LOADS OF MY BOYFRIENDS FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND I WANT THEM TO THINK POSITIVELY OF ME</p> <p>that it really. I will add more if I think of them</p> <p>SO what have I had today</p> <p>Breakfast</p> <p>banana, peach nectarine, grape and cranberry smoothie</p> <p>Lunch </p> <p>banana apple grape peach plumb and summer fruit smoothie.</p> <p>Ok so i guess the smoothie thing did not really work out for me. by late after noon i was starving. I think i had a bit of a bindge and at way to much </p> <p>I had...</p> <p>2 packs of nick nacks<br>i small cake, size of my palm<br>pasta/noodle soup with beacon bits<br>a bit of my brothers burger!</p> <p>My brother had the nices big fat m and s burgers with massive bread rolls for dinner. I am starting to miss my old food. I could kill for a massive dominos or a big cheesey bowl of pasta. I must admit i must remind myself when i ate 2 pizzas and a garlic bread pizza all to my self.  i had most of it in one sitting then the reast was for breakfast the next day. Lets be honest, i have had my fair share of junk to last me a lifetime!</p> <p>tomorow brings a new challange. I am bk at work. I work in a coffee shop. I am always tempted by all the nice cakes and coffee which may i add are free. its a curse i tell you.i end up having a coffee cake every couple of hours. This is the plan....</p> <p>1 TAKE A MASSIVE BOTTLE OF WATER WITH ME. (2LTR). this means i wont have to drink coffee when i fancy a drink. i can just take a sip or water, yay fun)<br>2 take a few pepermint tea bags. I can have it in the nice fancy china cups so i feel like i am treating myself <br>3 make sure i have quite a big breakfast before i go. this way i wont have a dip in energy levels and go  running to the white choc chip cookies or the toffie muffins</p> <p>Thats it really.

So i have just got back from the doctors. I really did not want to go but i thought it would be best to make sure everything is OK. I found out that my blood pressure is normal but on the higher end of normal. and he weighed me as 120kg which is so much. I think the visit motivated me even more.<br> With my new found motivation, i forced myself down to the local gym.But just my luck, its has closed until further notice due to health and safety reasons which is very annoying. I might go for a walk around the park a few times to make up for it.</p> <p>I weighed myself this morning on my scales and it says i am now</p> <p>__stone 6/7 pounds</p> <p>I got on this morning and it kept changing from 6 to 7. so im guessing it means __stone 6.5 pounds. which means i have lost 1.5/2 pounds in 1day!! whoooooo..</p> <p>I really hope this is right. You are only ment to weigh yourself once a week, im going to do it every day. I dont care if it does not chance everyday. I will only really pay attention the they weekly changes. but im still going to do it everyday just because.</p> <p>so far today..</p> <p>Breakfast<br> small bowl of special k</p> <p>Lunch<br> can of tuna<br> mixed with low fat soft cheese</p> <p>Snacks<br> 2 bags of crisps(i know so bad) each had 141 calories arghh not gd i feel bad for eating them as i was not even hungry</p> <p>2hand fulls of grapes</p> <p>Dinner</p> <p>Small portion of wholemeal pasta<br> low fat fromarge frais </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/06/02/23-days-4260689/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-06-02:/2008/06/02/24days-part-4260683/cleolewis2008-06-02T22:54:01+02:002008-06-02T23:03:08+02:00 <p>Ok so im going to be so brave right now. I was on youtube last night and i was watching a group of viedos called the srinking woman. It was about this lady who was eating healthy and cutting out crap. she made a video nearly every day of her shrinking waistline. The before and after pictures are amazing. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/IncredibleShrinkinMe"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/IncredibleShrinkinMe">http://www.youtube.com/user/IncredibleShrinkinMe</a> </a></p> <p>So as motivation i am going to post pictre.

I spoke to my boyfriend, his name is Lu by the way, last night. I told him about my new diet, but i made it seem less harsh than it really is. I don't know why but i usually find it hard to talk about with him. We have a really honest relationship, but i think the topic of weight and dieting is really touchy to me. I don't really like talking about it. It is quite obvious that i am overweight, and he know that as he is not blind, but i think i don't like talking about because no one really likes to draw attention to their insecurities. He is really supportive and basically said i love you the way you are, but do what ever makes you happy. which i think is really sweet.</p> <p>So, how is the diet going so far?</p> <p>well so far so good. I'm not really counting calories or fat content as i have tried that before and i just cant keep with it. I'm doing weight watchers core plan but limiting the amount i eat. I am one of those many people who have done weight watchers so much i could probably run my on meeting in the local town hall. I think weight watchers is really good as it works. But the only thing is that you pay so much money to get on the scales for someone to tell u that you have only lost half a pound. or worse, that you have put on weight. WW is really good ,but like all diets you have to stick to eat or there is no point of doing it. I have done it before and lost around 14 pounds but i just feel it puts to much pressure on you and your diet somehow consumes your life.</p> <p>Anyway, onto the point. This is what i have done today</p> <p>Breakfast<br> 2 Weatabix<br> 1 small banana</p> <p>Lunch<br> Hand full of grapes<br> Hand full of cherries</p> <p>Dinner<br> 3 spoons of rice<br> Chicken leg and thigh<br> spoon of caslaw<br> spoon of sweetcorn</p> <p>Desert.<br> Muller light</p> <p>Snacks<br> A small pack of nick knacks<br> A small bowl of special k with skimmed milk</p> <p>Drinks<br> I had 3 large cups organic peppermint tea</p> <p>. I have not been very good with water, i have only had 2 glasses so far. i need to drink more.</p> <p>I also weighed myself today .</p> <p>__stones and 8 pounds</p> <p>my measurements are</p> <p>around my belly button. 46inc<br> hips 54 incs<br> waist 43 incs</p> <p>i will do my measurements again next week to see if there is any change </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/06/02/24days-part-4260672/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:untilljamaica.blog.co.uk,2008-06-02:/2008/06/02/my-first-blog-25-days-4260665/cleolewis2008-06-02T22:50:14+02:002008-06-02T23:07:17+02:00 <p>Hey. I'm Cleo, and this is my first blog.I don't know much about blogging so I'm sorry if mine does not follow the conventional method of blogging. I dint really know where to start, so i guess i will start from the beginning.</p> <p>I want to loose 14 pounds in 25days.</p> <p>I am keeping a blog as a way of keeping track of my efforts. Why 12 pounds? well, mainly because my goal is to loose 4pounds a week for 3 weeks, so that makes it 12. I know i may sound a bit silly and like an unreachable goal but i think if i eat right and get to the gym it can be done.</p> <p>Your probably wondering why i want to do this. well the reason is simple. I got my tickets for my summer holiday to Jamaica. I know, JAMAICA! Naturally i am excited, as i fell in love with Jamaica many years ago. I am also excited as my boyfriend lives in Jamaica who i have not seen in 5 weeks. Receiving my tickets has kind of put me in panic mode as i know that i have to look good in a short amount of time. I went to Jamaica earlier this year and pretty much spent the whole time in a room with my boyfriend. its was fun, Young love ya-da, ya-da,blah, blah blah. The result of this is me gaining about 5pounds threw eating crap and getting no exercise apart from sex. I don't know about anybody else, but i find being in a long term long distance relationship that is stable, puts you in a very comfortable position. when you know someone loves you no matter what you don't mind having the second donut then the massive glass of full fat coke. i have found that as my boyfriend is not around i can kind of get away with putting on a few as he wont be around to see. But foolish me, has failed to realise the time when we actually see each other is fast approaching, so something needs to be done fast.</p> <p>so from tomorrow onwards you will be hearing about all the ups and downs of my diet</p> <p>Wish me luck. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://untilljamaica.blog.co.uk/2008/06/02/my-first-blog-25-days-4260665/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
