Getting fitter and trimmer

Gra76

I managed to loose 3st over the last year or so and was very pleased with myself.

I've just come back from holiday and I know I was pigging out most days I was there and I wasn't shy on the beers either. I felt like I'd put at least a stone on but when I actually weighed myself was surprised to find it was only 9lb so it's not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I'm finding it hard to motivate myself again now that I've had a couple of weeks off. I need to set another target so I'll say 11st 7lb and significantly better tone to my body by Xmas. That'll get me back comfortably into my 32" jeans again! I'm currently able to shoehorn myself into them but that top button is begging to be undone!

Wow aerial hoops sounds fun NatMast, I have little upper body strength but I like the sound of it!

I was chuffed after yesterday's good behaviour but feel shattered today. I think working 9 days straight and averaging 12 hours a day (teaching and marking) might have caught up with me. Today has been carbs, carbs and chocolate, so now I'm shattered and sluggish


I also missed my exercise class as just didn't feel I had the energy to go.


Tomorrow is a busy day at work, so I am going to try to resist the urge to do any marking, and try rest more when I get home. Also going to bed no later than 10pm today.

I had a day off today, weighed and 1lb lost, then ran a mile in 10mins, then did a spinning class, spent all day clearing out my wardrobe of things that no longer fit and then went to the gym (whilst kids at music). Wearing my new fitting underwear and feeling good.

Helen, how lovely to have new small undies, I remember that from long ago lol

I have a bikini top which I keep for a laugh, it doesnt look on me now. I Want my smaller boobs back.
I cant bring myself to bin my too small clothes, some went in the loft tho, out of sight.

food was good today, dinner of salmon, cut in chunks, microwsved with tiny bit butter, all mixed together with a dash of sweet chilli sauce.
3 scrambled eggs for lunch. Strawbs, large orange.
3 sherbet sweets, yum.

Welcome Gra76, well done on another loss HDK.

I went for a run first thing this morning, on Wednesday I drop the kids at school early for music lessons so I had run and skipped by 9.15am.

I will walk the dog later and cycle this evening.

I've been far too embarrassed to come on here recently and update everyone. It was my birthday last week so we went away and that combined with chocolate presents didn't do me any good at all.

I did carry on with the same amount of exercise though. Weighed myself the other day and I've put on again. Not going to worry tooooo much about that though since I can account for it all!

Have been good so far this week though and done exercise as well so will be interesting to see how I get on.

Great work!

Sew a loop of elastic nr the buttonhole and use it as a buttonhole instead, it will give the belly a bit of leeway lol

Don't feel embarrassed, we all have things which come along and scupper our best intentions. Sometimes feeling ashamed about a bad week can lead to another week and before you know it all your hard work is undone.

Just a quick update with todays food

B/F (pre run) 1 pint of very diluted squash, porridge with soya milk.
(post run) crumpet with flora, coffee.

Lunch - WW chilli (love these), w/m pitta bread, fruit and yoghurt
Snack - nectarine

Tea - Roasted veg (potato, onion, peppers, mushrooms) 2 x 1/2 fat sausage.

It has been a goodish food day! I guess we all have them, where we keep on track most of the time, except for a short detour!

I have made my veg target - broad bean soup at lunch (5 veg there) and I made a mince tikka thing for tea (another 5 veg). But having dd off school again has severely curtailed my steps - I'll be lucky to make 5000. However, it's been another NSD and I have sewn 16 items :T.

The scales are pretty amenable - not as nice as some of yours, but they remain truthful!

To true Dolly take it a day at a time getcater, we will all get there in the end.

Weather on the change down here, so will be in the sweat box for kettlebell's tonight, I have also added a yoga class from this week, I also have a fun challenge starting with my eldest son's girlfriend with the zwow 100 workout ( you're enthusiasm is contagious AppleMuncher I will let you know how we get on... once im out of traction :rotfl:)

Foods still doing well did have a slice of son's birthday cake yesterday but he chose an American dinner for dinner I was reasonably good and had veggie philly sub, griddled peppers, mushroom's and onions and a little cheese and a side of coleslaw they were very good at pandering to my needs

Today
No Bfast as ate late the night before
Lunch Mushroom omelette and salad
Tea will just be a fruit and green salad with a seed mix dressing.

Lunch was really filling and im not really wanting food but will eat or I find the following day im picking at anything thats remotely edible.

I suppose the kettlebell wont swing itself, have a great evening everybody
