Tubby Tuesday

Weigh-in was this morning. I had lost 2.5lbs after all that worrying. So, I am half a pound off my 10% key-ring (whoop whoop!) and nearly a third of the way to goal. Still a long way to go - think tortoise rather than hare - but good nonetheless.

When I get to 2 stone, I may even post another full-length photo. Lots of people who haven't seen me for a while are commenting on how different I look, which always makes me feel good. I had a personal trainer session at the gym yesterday (courtesy of three lovely friends) and even he commented that I 'look well' after not seeing me for three months. He bloomin' nearly killed me but I'll let him off just this once! I managed to do some running too, which is what I really want to be able to do. I have the Race For Life in my sights next year...

Weight Loss

2.5lbs this week, so 9 in three weeks. I was really hoping for more, because of all the exercise I am doing, but I am still pleased. I got my 'Silver 7' today. We had to discuss setting a goal for the next twelve weeks (before Christmas!) and I decided on 7lbs. That would take me over a stone and doesn't put too much pressure on me. I tend to go off the rails if I look at further than 7 days away.

Anyway, I can really notice the loss in my body and it is giving me a lot more confidence. I feel fitter and more toned from the gym work. All good.

Weight Loss

1.5 pounds this week. I was a bit disappointed because I had followed the plan to the letter and exercised a fair bit. Anyway, it is a loss and I have lost nearly half a stone in two weeks. I walked into town (3 miles) today and did an hour at the gym, which should help towards next week's weigh-in.

I feel fitter and I CAN notice little changes in my body. I must keep looking at the positives rather than thinking I need to lose more each week.

Started at Weight Watchers!

I re-joined yesterday and it was pretty much as I expected. I managed to stick to the plan all day and even saved three points for today. I also earned three at the gym, but I am trying to ignore those to see if they help increase my loss. I made a lovely chicken korma for dinner last night, from a WW cook book. Tonight is minced beef cobbler.

I know it is too soon to make a difference, but I did feel slightly fitter walking to school today - it must be a positive mental thing!

I am still crafting. In fact, I took a cross-stitch on holiday and did loads of that. I can't take a photo though as it is going to be a gift for someone. I will post a pic when it has been given to the recipient. I am also doing some beading for my C and G course, and frantically writing up course work so I am not too far behind. The course finishes in November and I still have so much work to do.
