Ups and Downs



Well the last two weeks have been full of ups and downs.  The detox was a disaster, lasted four days before the headaches and stomach cramps got so bad I had a sandwich, well a hotdog.  The funning thing is, when I told Heather, she told me she had broke the detox too with a hotdog, like mother like daughter LOL!!!  The good news is we still lost weight, one hotdog each didn't hurt too much, I lost 3lbs and Heather lost 2lbs.

That was on Monday last week, the diet has done downhill since then, it was my friends birthday this week so I've had cake and alcohol plus we have ended the detox early, basically we are back to eating tatties - NOT CHIPS just baked tatties, still no caffeine though or dairy till next Monday.  The gym has been getting easier too, I no-longer suffer for days afterwards and am managing to do more each time, so I'm hoping I haven't put on weight even if I haven't lost, I'll let you know.

Good news - The council fundraising license has arrived so we can start the fancy dress pub crawls, these should be good fun.  We are also bag packing at Morrison's in West North Street, Aberdeen on the 2nd November wearing Onesies, anyone fancy putting on their onesies and joining us OR chose Morrison's that day to do your shopping and let us pack your bags for a small donation of cause.

The Copthorne Hotel has been booked for the 25th January 2014, as we are having a "Not A Burn's Night" Charity Dinner Dance that night with an auction.  The tickets will be £35 per head if anyone is interested send an email.  I've sent letter out to the large oil companies here in Aberdeen to advertise the tickets and ask them to sponsor a table at the dance, hopefully they will take us up on this as it will allow us to put all the ticket money to the charity but we will have to wait and see.



If you can't make it to the dinner dance, how about joining us at the "Race Night".  For those of you who don't know what a race night is, its a fun pub event where you can purchase a horse, nominate a jockey and even bet on the races, lots of fun.  If your horse wins you win!  The date and venue for this is still TBA but we'll keep you informed.



So as you can see its been a busy couple of weeks, but hopefully we can start raising some descent money now.  Anyone who does fancy joining us on any of our events please email me first, as under our licensing rules we do have to make sure you all have passes at each event.  In the meantime don't forget you can sponsor us directly by making a donation through our just giving pages: Karen or Heather.

GREAT NEWS - We both lost weight..... I lost only 1 pound but Heather lost 3 - Yipee!!!
