Lots of exercise today - burnt off 1187kcals today with a combination of a lot of walking, a run and a stepper routine

Go me!

Have done some Friday night cleaning - of changing bedding and washing it, hoovering, dusting LR and BR. Very pleased have done this as it has freed up time on Sunday which I am determined to do some assignment work as well as a run if its dry enough

Took measurements this morning and am pleased to report the loss of another 1/2 inch from my chest taking it to at least 4 inches lost now. I think its more like 5inches really because I wasn't taking the measurements right at first.

Everything else has stayed the same. My next target is to lose a further half inch from my waist to take it to 5inches lost in total. Again though the total loss may be a bit more than this as again I wasn't measuring correctly at first so it may be around 5-6 inches lost really.

Hello lady,

glad to see you're back to good health again .

I confess that my own eating & exercise has floundered over the last month, but with a week off I plan to use the time to kick start it all again.

Enjoy your time off

A nice day out with mum today who picked up the bargain of the day and she was so pleased.

A pair of beautiful per una trousers in a wide leg style, cool fabric and a lovely teal colour originally priced at £35 and reduced in the final dregs of the sale to 50p! They fit perfectly and showed mum she too had gone down a dress size this year on both top and bottom. Mum was so pleased and this was a bonus surprise for all the hard work she has done with increasing her walking. They will look great dressed up or down in the spring and summer. Nice one mum! Good result and glad you made the decision to try them on when I found them on the rail!

Lots of walking done and dusted for todays exercise and not much else apart from still damp washing on the line not drying that great in todays overcast weather.

2nd update for the day. As usual behind on the reading and will be attempting to read another paper after struggling with 2 this afternoon. Made the tastiest tea I have had in a long time of lentil dhal and spiced cabbage. Will be making that one again and have leftovers for another night this week

A rather smashing bank holiday today on a 10 mile walk in the countryside and the quickest time ever taken to do it. Lovely day all round slightly spoiled by my upset stomach, hopefully all back to normal tomorrow

Had a little tryout on a road bike up and down the street and loved it. Would love to get one of those and think that might be next year's gift to me too!

So a good day diet wise burning off over 2000kcals and leaving me 900 under for the day!

Planning a bike ride tomorrow to try out my stamina and see how far I get and how I am to get closer to riding to work and back at some point this summer

Today's plan;

Just back from walking the dog for over an hour around the water park

Next task is to do the ironing ready for the week ahead
Then a bike ride for an hour to see how I get on and discover a route to take
Back for lunch and some fruit for snacks
Then read one paper for the assignment
Take the dog out again
Read one more paper
Heat up leftovers for tea
Get work stuff ready
Get work lunches ready
Have a little rest!

Loved that bike ride - took 30mins for 5 miles and will be going out again later to do it again! Really coverting a road bike now!
