Wednesday Weight Loss #15

Well here I am again sharing how my week went and to be honest I did not really keep to those promises I made this time last week. Which is why standing on the scales I should not be surprised that although there has been a weight loss and I return to ___ 13 and a 1/4 I did not make as much of a difference as I could have.

I have exercised a whole heap over these past seven days as my Nordic walking classes are now running at three a week, I still do my Walking for Health group on a Monday morning and I go to yoga on a Friday plus this weekend I spent doing some serious DIY in the garden lumping heavy weights of wood and concrete so if I had got my food intake under control then the weight loss should have been amazing!!!

No-one else to blame except myself and the choices I am making and yesterday I received news that I will be taking part in a video for Sport England in three weeks time!!  Yes me in a Sports video!!!!!

Do I want to look like this and weigh this much? NO!

Do I think if I tried hard I could lose half a stone in three weeks - that's 2-3 pounds a week?  YES!

So how will I achieve success?

I have to plan my meals AHEAD - not just open the fridge door when I am hungry!

I will use a smaller dinner plate and thereby eat a smaller quantity. This has been suggested in the news this week as once again the debate rages about whether it is fat or carbohydrates which are causing British obesity problems.

I will go back to recording my pints of water - more water less feelings of hunger and much better hydration.

If you want a Weightloss Water Wristband to record your water simply click on the pic below to download - print out - cut out and sellotape around your wrist and then colour in as you down those glasses of water throughout the day!!



I will go back to my jogging regime - I have a 5k charity race booked in for the end of June.

I will do 20 mins each day of specific toning exercises for waist, upper arms and chest - measuring these areas and seeing if I can make reductions to them as successfully as  I've been with my thighs and legs :)

I can do it, I WILL do it!!

    1. Thanks Morgan - I certainly want to attain the goals I've set for myself but I often find "finding time" is a problem - so I need to sort that out too!!
