Oh good grief.........

a lb on!

I am getting really fed up at the moment with my body, I am a bit disheartened but I will keep going.

I am mega stressed at the moment with work and my ex coming back into my kids life after 5 years with my period like a cherry on top so I am going to get back on the old wagon and keep sticking to it, keep doing the exercise and hope that my body will decide that I eventually need a reward for my efforts......

F*ckity f*ck.............

2lbs on and have no idea why...........?!

Stupid body!!

xx

Woohoo!......

lost 1lb tonight taking me into the 13 stone bracket!!!!!

I am so happy, I have been hovering in the 14 stone bracket for nearly a year so I am more than pleased I have finally cracked it!!!


YAY!!!!!!

So close........

I wanted to be in the 13's by the end of May but I have weighed in tonight bank on 14stone! lol

Oh well, I am still very happy with my weight loss this week and my little mini goal for next week is for the scales to finally say 13 stone something.............I also want to get to 13st 7lbs by the end of June.

Watch this space......

Water, water everywhere.........................

and none of it going in my belly!!!

I find it really hard to drink plenty of water. I find if I sit with a big glass or bottle of it on my desk it really puts me about but I know the benefits of drinking water so needed to think of a way of getting some down my neck...........the answer?..


I worked out that in an average day at work I will get out of my seat to make drinks, take in deliveries, take post upstairs, etc about 6/7 times. Whichever job I am doing I have to go passed the little kitchen where there is a water cooler. So, my plan (which I have started today) is to get a small cup of water each time I pass the kitchen, this should set me well on my way to getting the amount of water I need.....

I hope I can keep it up as the effects of many toilet runs have kicked in!! lol

What a difference a year makes.........

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2010


More motivation to keep going, just over 7 months to Xmas, it will be interesting to see how different I can look again!

Another weigh in...........

and half a pound gain.

Weirdly I am not upset as I have stuck to my points but not done as much exercise. I am more focused than ever so next week my efforts will hopefully show.

Now I am sat here watching 'Dance you Ass Off' on Sky Real lives. It doesn't fill the gap of The Biggest Loser but I am finding it entertaining so far. It is too early in the show for me to find any inspiration but hats off to them all for doing it.

Had a lovely evening........

tonight.




We got a voucher to get a pizza for £1 at Pizza Express (you buy one main meal to get the cheap pizza) so we decided to take the kids and celebrate Lolly and Will passing their dancing exam and Matt getting a part in the play.

The meal was delicious and all pointed, it was a lovely evening and we ended it watching Doctor Who.

Just noticed.........

my BMI on my ticker at the top of the page...

I have gone from 43 to 32?!?!? I never even noticed.......I am really pleased with that. I am sure I will still be classed as obese but it is going down so that is all that matters.

Update.....................

for last couple of weeks........after the marathon I had a weigh in and another STS but because I was so proud of my achievement it didn't matter to me at all.

This week I had a free 3 day pass for Fitness first, for the first day I did four hours in the gym of walking, jogging, rowing, cycling etc which was good fun, the second day I really loved, it was curcuit training and boxing, for 53 minutes my heart rate was definately at high intensity level, and the final day I did another couple of hours. I loved every minute of it and I am now looking for a boxing lesson to do every week because I absolutely loved it. To top it off I finally shifted weight wise and lost 2.5lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooo pleased.

My motivation level is so high now so hears to another good week.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I did it.......one walking half marathon complete!

VERY tired and achey but a fab experience and I am well chuffed with us all.

Yesterday.........

I went Roller skating for my son's 13th birthday!







I was really nervous about going as I am really clumsy and can fall over without any help at the best of times. It was actually really good fun and by the end of the 2 hours I was going round without clinging on for dear life! Even though I wasnt going fast I got quite sweaty and my legs ache this morning so I had a nice little workout without realising it! I wonder how many points that would earn?

I am even considering taking the kids once a month.......

Hopefully the achey legs will go before tomorrow!

My son had a great birthday, I can't believe I am actually Mum to a teenager! EEEEK!

3 more days.........

until my walking half marathon!!! IT has come round sooooo fast!

I am really excited and nervous about it all. We got our packs through with our Shine t-shirts, number, bag labels and various other items. It says that on the night we will all be given an illuminated balloon to take round with us which I think will make it all look amazing.

I am not worried about walking the 13.2 miles as I have been exercising like a demon these last 8 weeks. This week I am not going to do any exercise so my body is fully rested and ready for Saturday night.

WW wise I am going to concentrate on having a mix up with my meals making that more my focus instead of the training. Who knows, it may shift some weight giving my body a break......... that would be a lovely bonus if I show a loss on the scales next week. I am feeling unbelievably fit these days so even though I have only lost 1.5lbs while doing this training I have never felt better.

I am going to keep up the exercise after the marathon as I find I actually miss it when I don't do some.

My sis and I have been thinking of what to train for next year and we are looking at maybe doing a 26 mile bike ride and/or some sort of sponsored swim.......watch this space! lol

For those of you that are just starting out on more exercise why not get your name down for next year and make that a goal?

Wish me luck, I will put pics on and let you know how it all went.

PS. I think there is still time if you wish to sponsor me, just click on the link at the top of my blog. Thanks. :0)

Little woohoo.......

cos I lost half a pound this week, so that is 1.5lbs in 7 weeks........not a great average but I am the healthiest I have ever been......every cloud.....:0)

Easter was not a problem at all for me because I had time off with my kids and they love going out on their bikes so that is what we did, lucky me, I am proud to say that I have instilled in my kids about having a healthy lifestyle and enjoying it.

Happy me.

Another week.....

has flown by and I apologise for neglecting my blog it has been an odd couple of weeks all told.

I stayed the same again this week but I am not getting disheartened as I have had some lovely compliments from loads of people.

Happy times.

Hurrah...............................

After 5 weeks of only losing half a pound and exercising like a demon I lost half a pound!!! I know it isn't a massive loss but just to see the scales say something different has given me a real boost, hopefully this is the start of movement again scale wise.

I can only assume that my body was too shocked with all the exercise to worry about losing weight! lol

I am even more determined now to get the rest of this weight off this year.

xxx

Another week.........

another stay the same but this week I am being very calm about it.

I am going to try and eat half of any bonus points I earn after each exercise and see if that works.

So starting as I mean to go on I walked for an hour tonight and have done 40 minutes on my Biggest Loser Wii game.

I am determined to persevere with the hope that eventually the weight loss will kick in again soon.

PMA! lol

I am going for my.................

....first free swim tonight.

http://www.britishgas.co.uk/swimming

If you click on the above link you can get a free swim at a Living Well Gym.

I am going tonight with my sister and then in the morning with my family. I absolutely love swimming but due to money I can't go on a regular basis. I always feel really chilled out when I have been swimming.

This weekend I am going to do a 13 mile walk in preparation for the marathon, I am taking my family with me and we are taking a picnic and healthy snacks to have along the way. I think I may be looking forward to it more than them but the weather forecast says it is going to be clear and mainly sunny so that should keep their spirits up!

I am nearly at my online target for sponsors so if you want to help me get there please click on the link below. :0)

OK...............

the mardy face has gone and I am being a good girl and plowing on.

I have stuck to my points and done 30 minutes jogging on the Wii.....although saying that, I was really chuffed with myself until I started watching Eddie izzard running a gazillion marathons and I felt quite pathetic! lol

What an amazing achievement! He must feel so proud of humself.

It has certainly inspired me to keep on going......

What a fabulous man.....
