Twelve whole weeks…

So I’ve finished my twelfth week with WW and i’m 22lb down! Lost 1.5lb this week so am quite pleased with that. Also got my third actual stone to celebrate my stone and a half loss. Love it!

Had a bit of a high pointed weekend which involved a pot noodle (10pp), a mini tub of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream (19pp) and a chicken caesar salad wrap (18pp) at the NEC. Can you believe those 3 little things which take no effort at all to eat are loaded with points? Lesson definitely learnt there! Do not eat crap that doesn’t fill you up and uses all your points!!

This week so far i’ve been to Zumba (Monday) and done a bit of walking but not on the grand scale of previous weeks. Damn weather! Must really get out the fair weather walker in me and get out in the rain, perhaps it’ll make me quicker, ha ha.

So week twelve:2011 done: total loss 22lb, in my thirteenth week I’m continuing to do my exercise. I’m Zumba-ing again tomorrow and Monday nights and want to get out over the weekend with the dog and walk off a few pound. Hubby is away in Wales this weekend with his DofE staff so it’ll be just me and the woofer getting all the exercise in. Sunday, I’m off down the valley again for a couple of circuits with the WW group so hopefully that’ll help too!

Completely off topic but I really want to crack on with my quilt this weekend too whilst I have the house to myself. I just haven’t had time at all lately and I’m itching to get it back out again and continue its loveliness!

Anyways, hope you’ve all had a good weigh-in if you’ve had one and here’s to week thirteen:2011!

I’ve been outed!

…..in a nice way.

I’ve been writing my blog now since December 2008 and have managed to keep it pretty much underwraps to family and friends until now. Tonight my leader Deb invited Paul aka Fat4now to join our WW facebook group and I was like ‘OMG its Paul!’, it sounds strange because I’ve never met him but ‘know’ him through his blog. I guess it’s the same as some of the other fantastic people I’ve got to know through their blogs including Lana, Mandy and Linz.

I’m not really worried that people who actually know me (or know of me) will read my blog as I do tend to go on a bit but I just hope they remember it’s my personal space for me to get stuff off my chest, for me to make a bit of sense of what’s going on in my life in writing and a chance to reflect, stay motivated and on track with this WW journey!

If you do drop by, I’d love to hear from you..

Exercise is key!

I was quite nervous before this week’s weigh in, not sure why! I’ve had a good week with food and exercise so was hoping the scales would be nice to me and they were. I lost 2.5lb this week and i’m pleased with that. Just half a pound short of my stone and a half mini milestone which I’m hoping to get well in the bag next week. We talked about exercise this week at the class and it is so true, exercise is so key to weightloss. It’s certainly helped me this week. Hoping 2 rounds of Zumba and a marathon around the NEC on Sunday will help for next weeks weigh in.

So week eleven:2011 done: total loss 20.5lb, in my twelfth week I’m continuing to do my exercise. I’m going to go to Zumba twice this week (Thursday and Monday) and I’ve scheduled a long walk over Chasewater on Saturday with my sister and nephew so that’ll be good and i’m also getting my hair done Saturday so maybe having my hair cut will help the cause too! Maybe not but i’ll give it a go!

Hope you’ve all had a good weigh-in and here’s to week twelve:2011!

Tired Tuesday

I am so tired today. I could literally crawl into bed fully clothed and stay there until the weekend. I’ve had a couple of draining days at work which have really zapped the energy out of me. It’s my own fault for putting my all into my job. Same goes for the weightloss thing I guess, I’m an all or nothing kinda gal! I didn’t manage to get much exercise in yesterday as had a late dentist appointment but I did drag the dog out for a walk round the block and made sure I took him out for a good half hour this evening. Just had a very yummy tea and now i’m off to have an early night. Sweet dreams….x
