Weight Loss Wednesday #7

Wednesday has rolled around again so without further ado I can announce that my weight has gone from ___ 2 1/2 to ___ 1 1/2 so a 1 lb loss this week and now other people are noticing my new trimmer figure which is also pleasing to report!

Joining in with:
Where Kate is focusing on some of the other bloggers' weight loss posts that all help each other in the struggle to become a healthier being - and guess what? ... She features one of mine!!

Cheryl who has been struggling with Storm Imogen!!

Kirsty who has some great news on her weight loss journey as well as some good ideas about menu planning



and not forgetting - Beth & Sim


I have decided that this coming week I will focus on portion sizes and really try to up my water intake as I know I didn't do so well last week - the very cold weather had me reaching for a hot cup of decaffeinated coffee rather than cold water!!  I am also going to start to take some body measurements as I know that I might become disillusioned with what my scales say some weeks but that there might be a difference in my actual body shape that I can be happy with :)

More good news on my healthier life-style this week: I am now booked on my Nordic walking instructor course for the end of March and I might have found funding for my equipment and publicity for the free Nordic walking sessions I want to set up!  It just goes to show that having an idea can lead to bigger and better things if you put it out there.  Everyone I have talked to so far about this has all got on board and are helping in anyway they can - it really is amazing :)

Please let me know what you have got up to in your "healthier" life this week or share any ideas you have for taking exercise/healthier lifestyle into the community - as who knows where this will lead?

  4. Lovely when folks notice all your hard work paying off. The Nordic walking sounds great for physical and mental wellbeing and both are important. Thanks for being so nice to me when I am hardly an inspiration at the moment but when my head is fixed, that can change too. Well done you!

    1. Kate - without your blog running its linky I might never have started this real push towards a much healthier me - so you deserve all the praise you get :)

  7. Thanks Amanda :) I think losing some weight means I'm wearing some of my less baggy clothes so people can actually "see" me now!

  8. Totally with you - it's not all about what the scales say, it's about how you feel and how your clothes fit. Your body changes constantly when on a diet and taking measurements is a great way to keep track! Well done on the funding, am so glad everyone is on board - you are very motivated and it will be a great success! Thank you for linking up with #WeightLossWednesday Sim xx
