Saturday in the sunshine

The weather today has been beautiful. The sky was such a gorgeous blue and at times there wasn’t a single cloud. We took full advantage and took Mikey out for a good walk over Sandwell Valley. 

There was still a cool breeze but it was nice enough for us just to wear our fleece jackets. We walked for 45 minutes and covered 2.5 mile of the Valley. I really love getting outdoors and taking in the fresh air, I could even go as far to say i’m actually getting quite addicted to being outside in the countryside! Just look how sunny it was; absolutely fantastic.

I’m actually there again tomorrow for the WW group walk so will cover more mileage and earn more activity points. It’s all good training for the Race for Life I really want a good weight loss this week and i’m determined to get it!

Mikey was no bother when we got home, he just slept on the sofa dreaming of open fields, fresh air and muddy paws…It definitely is a dogs life!

Have a good weekend lovelies

Another challenge is set…

I’ve signed up for my 4th Race for Life which is a 5k walk/run in aid of Cancer Research UK.
This year I’ll be competing with my sister in Walsall on 26th June and we’re hoping to be mega fit (& 2 stone lighter..) by then!

As some of you may know my very good friend Tanya is battling a cancerous tumour, she’s a fighter though and she’s doing amazingly well. I’m pleased to say her tumour has shrunk with her latest dose of chemo and radiotherapy so fingers crossed she’s on the road to recovery. I do feel totally helpless though and by doing this run I’m trying to do my bit.

If you’d like to help the cause, please click on the picture above and donate as much or as little as you can spare.

Together we can beat it!
Thank you xx

Zumba love it!

I did it! I went to Zumba with the ladies from the Weight Watchers facebook group and I’m so pleased I did it! I was really nervous because I’d never met these ladies before but I met them on the car park and they were incredibly welcoming. I did an hour of zumba shaking my wobbly bits, I was red and sweaty and I loved it! Bit of a milestone really… It appears my confidence is revealing itself with every pound shed.

Also had a nice comment from a lady at work today who asked me if I’d lost weight cos she could really tell! Yay, it must be working!

Too ambitious!

I lost 2lb this week so I am pleased but i’ve worked hard for that 2lb loss and would of hoped for a bit more. I’ve become to realise that I am far too ambitious for my own good because I lose a lb, I want 2lb; I lose 2lb I want 3lb! Personally I think it’s because in my head I know that I need to lose at least 2lb per week for the next 7 months to be at my initial goal for the GP so when I don’t  get more than 2lb I think I’ve failed. I’m far too critical of myself.

Anyway, I’m being brave and going to Zumba tomorrow night with some ladies off the WW group on Facebook. Our leader runs about 6 classes in the local area and has created a group on there which all her members are invited to join and share their ideas, thoughts, losses and gains. I put a message up about wanting to go to Zumba and a couple of ladies on there told me about a class and invited me to go along with them. So i’m off there tomorrow. Very excited but quite nervous too!

So week ten:2011 done: total loss 18lb, in my eleventh week I’m continuing to do my exercise. I’m trying an hour of Zumba tomorrow and I’ve got a good couple of long walks planned in for the weekend so hoping more weight will come off this week. Going to increase my fruit and veg intake too and get drinking that fluid! Really want to lose these next 10lb in 4 weeks…can I do it? We’ll see..

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

Phew..

Let the weightloss continue…I lost 4lb at weigh in tonight! I am so pleased. I’ve been really good this week, everything has been weighed, tracked and pointed. I’ve earnt an additional 29 bonus propoints through activity (11 miles worth of walking!) and only eaten 13 of my bonus weekly propoints. So it’s all paid off, yippee!

We have an 18th birthday party to go to at the weekend and my Aunty (the hostess) always has the most incredible food so i’m going to have to starve myself be really restrained! I’ve planned another massive walk at the weekend with the woofer and hubby so that’ll help too. Get me for saying this, but I actually do really enjoy getting outside and taking in the gorgeous sunshine. I feel really good once I’ve done it and i’ve also been adding in a few minutes worth of running too to raise my heartbeat. Every little helps.

I just want to say a huge well done to my sister who lost 3lb this week and lost her first stone! Well done Sid, i’m proud of you xxx

So week nine:2011 done: total loss 16lb, in my tenth week I’m continuing to walk and run. I did 11 miles walking this week over 6 days so hoping to improve on that for next week.  Hope you’ve all had a good weigh-in and here’s to week ten:2011!
