Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 1st Quarter
Comments
-
So because I'm an excel geek I have a spreadsheet with my weigh-ins recorded. Since the start of the year I have lost over 5% of my 2022 starting weight and am 20% of my way to target.
Since my heaviest point I have lost 9.75% of my original weight. Helps me to get some perspective when it feels slow going.
Going to look round a gym tomorrow with a view to joining. It's only 10 minutes away so I'm hoping I will use it regularly. I want to restart C25K on Monday but I'd be happier starting on a treadmill then running outside when the mornings are lighter.8 -
Hi everyone
Some good losses being recorded, well done!
0.5 lb for me Brambling, which I'm pleased about. It's going slowly, which is all I can expect at this stage!
Have a good weekend all.6 -
Brunch - hummus and carrot sticks
Lunch - accidental hot dog as I was freezing watching the football with my son.
Tea - Spanish chicken
Day 6 and the tummy is ever so slightly deflating.6 -
Stayed the same this week. Had a couple of lunches out which involved alcohol 🥴
well done to all who have lost 👏6 -
Oh dear, does anyone else think that they have been good and deserve a payday treat?Been good all week and decided to order a ‘small’ takeaway and obviously had to have a glass of wine to go with it!Also being energy conscious I had bought one of the Ald! heated blankets to save on putting the heating on. DH was setting it up when the doorbell went with said takeaway, tripped over the lead knocking two full glass as of red wine onto said blanket and beige carpet!
Spent next hour shampooing carpet and washing blanket and didn’t enjoy cold and congealed takeaway!Think that someone was trying to tell us something 😬
lesson learned 😭
