Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 8. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

sparrer have you tried yoga? It doesn't have to be pilates, you can start off very gently and incorporate the breathing techniques.
Also have heard some people recommend hula hooping [can use magnetic hoops, but I don't know much about them]. Also belly dancing works this area but doesn't have to be too strenuous.

Very pleased to report this morning that the scales were kind to me and i have STS.....which is fab considering the amount of choclate and 3 slices of birthday cake i munched so im so happy with this result

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend :beer:

7 weeks to go...

JBD I like the sound of yoga, everyone is so into pilates atm that yoga seems to put on the back burner in the popularity stakes. I'll ask around/look in the library when I go on Tues and see if there's a class nearby. (Not at all put off by the first site I clicked on which states in the first paragraph 'it can do wonders for your sex life'. A bit late now:rotfl: !!)

Thank you very much ragz for entering the update when you have a poorly on your hands. Hope your DS1 is feeling better and you don't have too much laundry as a result of his sickness :doh:

B - F&F ss milk
D - Grilled mini rack of ribs, sprout tops, little jacket (is that a bolero?) with teaspn lf spread, splash of gravy
T - wrap with prawns/ff yogurt
Snacks - satsuma, melon, apple, grapes
Exercise 1/2 hour pulm. Might do a bit of weed pulling if it doesn't rain.

Not so sunny today but thankfully dry atm. Have a good Saturday

Afternoon all.

B - Nothing.
L - A small trout, cooked with a knob of garlic butter and some salt and pepper. Delicious.
T - Mixed vegetables and rice with a couple of chopped sausage thrown in.
S - None planned.

CCP

Afternoon all.

I weighed myself yesterday and didn't believe the result, so I did it again this morning and I've definitely lost best part of 3lbs this week! I'm really pleased with that, particularly as it's TOTM and I haven't been on the thread this week for any moral support.

Well done everyone else this week, and I hope your DS is better now, ragz.

Oh, and

Help someone send me some will power - I'm trying to stay focussed after two weeks of STS but it's tricky, I'm sitting here thinking that trying hard hasn't worked for two week so how bad would it be if I cracked open a bottle of beer and have some chocolate now! Trouble is if I do that and then have a drink with dinner then I'll be over my calories and will be teetering at the top of a very slippery slope.

Haven't been for a walk today either other than pottering around the charity shops this morning.

Please send will power!

Good evening, well done everyone!

Today:
B: porridge with raisins, coffee and ss.
L: bacon sandwich
LF fish pie
S: a few chocolates

Exercise:
1 hour walk.
Lots of cleaning and batch cooking.

Ragz, thanks for doing the chart, I hope your DS feels better soon.
Piglet, good luck with the willpower, would visualisation help...tropical beach, you looking slim and stunning in swimwear?

Have a relaxing weekend everyone.
