Just realised I have forgotten to post my weigh in on Monday.

Weigh now stands at 11st 4.8lbs so I have lost a pound this week and a half inch off of my waist:T

One thing I have tried doing this week is adding extra mini workouts into my day. For example:-

Looking in my wardrobe for something to wear - while doing weights
Waiting for the pan to boil etc - do some skipping

Going to keep this up and also will be adding a 5k run on weekends and will be gradually building up the amount of skipping I do a day. Oh and I am looking to increase my weights in the new year. January Sales!!

Wednesday food & exercise

I went out with the girls from work for a cocktail making class. Was really good fun and I was aware that if I was to be drinking I may make a poor food decision. So in order to steer myself into healthier eating choices I suggested eating at a local Byron burger.

I know you've said that you've put weight on and its come back off again but from your start point in July you've only lost just over a pound.

Either you need to be working out a bit harder or something about your food intake needs tweaking. I know its not easy, I've hit more than one plateau over the months when losing weight but you need to get past those somehow if you want to keep losing.
