Maintained Again

So this week i maintained again which was a little disappointing but to be honest it was understandable with the amount of body magic that i've been doing. I'm so pleased with what i've been doing and i'm just waiting for it to show up on the scales. As times goes on it will all get easier so that it becomes second nature.

The body magic i've done this week is pretty good (as far as i'm concerned) so here is what i've done.

Tuesday - 40 minute gym session and walked about 6 miles

Wednesday - small workout

Thursday - walked about 2 1/2 miles

Friday - 55 minute gym session and walked over 6 miles

That's not bad is it?

I'll be back at the gym on monday and i'm looking forward to it at the moment but if today catches up with me tomorrow so that i feel what i've done today then i may change my mind. I go with my BFF which makes it so much easier and helps to motivate each other. We do jokingly call it the torture chamber which can be very fitting.

One thing that is helping is the fact that the other day i brought myself a brand new pair of trainers which tone as i walk which is great. I've only worn them twice now so they will take some getting used to.

Anyway that's enough for now but i'll try and come back soon. Take care and happy slimming

Body Magic This Week

Right so far this week i think i've done a good amount of body magic, here's what i've done

Tuesday - Walked to group

Wednesday - Walked to the Gym and back again and 35 minute gym session

Friday - Walked 6miles in total

Monday - 30minute workout to dvd

I don't think that's too bad as i'm starting out.

With the dvd i followed the advice and just did the warm up, stage one and the cool down. As i do it more i'll get to stage 2 and then 3 plus the toning exercises but i thought for a first time it was best to stick with the basics.

This week i will get to the gym a couple of times even if i have to go on my own.

Tomorrow is weigh day and i'm so hoping that i've lost a good amount as i haven't done anything naughty. But i suppose that i'll just have to wait and see.

Gym Session 1 Done and Dusted

Well i had my first session at the Gym today and it went well. I didn't find it as bad as i thought it would be so it won't be too bad to go back really soon. The workout that has been set for me includes cardio and toning which is good for the full body workout. The next time i go in i have to do the same as today and it works out to be about 35minutes. This doesn't seem like long but week by week i'll increase the length of time i do so that by at least christmas i'll be doing over an hour each time.

Due to a shortage of money i may not make it to the gym again until next week and i will go at least twice then and i will be happy to do it.

Maintained

So it's that day of the week and at group tonight i made alot of people laugh. I can here you asking how and i'll tell you. I got there early tonight and was one of the first few people to get weighed and when i stepped on the scales it showed that i had gained 1/2lb and i was so shocked as i thought i'd had a good week. I then thought that i don't normally wear a bra when i get weighed and i was wearing my new padded bra so i took it off and weighed again and this time it showed that i had stayed the same which is so much better. So i now know that my bra weighs 1/2lb which is mad. Lots of comments were mad about my being the size of a hammock and being made of steel or even it being Boudicca's bra. Now to be honest it is a big bra as it's a 40DD and that is smaller than i was. I always feel good when i come home from group no matter what the scales have said. We have a great leader in Linda as she makes us all feel so welcome so that means that the members are great too. This all makes it so much easier to stay and feel comfortable talking about things that are going on. I believe that staying to image therapy is very important to help with your motivation.

Well tomorrow is my first session at the gym and i think that it will be interesting to see how i get on as i think i'm going to have to eat more to help with the losses. I'll post tomorrow when i get back from the gym as i'll be walking there and back which is a good distance so i'll have so exercise before i get there and on the way back too. I'll be there for at least an hour maybe more and i plan to be going to the gym twice a week with my bff and in between visits i'll do a workout at home so i'll be working out 3 times a week. This will take some getting used to after doing so little for years but i'm up for it as a change for the better is always good.

I've wittered on long enough so take care and happy slimming

The Gym is Calling

It seems such a strange thing to say but it's so true the Gym really is calling my name. I've been meaning to go for a while but it's better late than never. As i'm able to walk further than i have been able to now it seems like the right time. I'm booked in to go for my first session on wednesday at 12. When i'm there Sarah who i saw yesterday will have a routine for me to do and she'll go through it with me so i'll know what i'll be doing. In a way i'm looking forward to it as it will really help with the weight loss and anything to help that will be good. At the moment i'm planning on going at least twice a week for a minimum of an hour as it's a twenty minute walk to the gym. I will be posting how i get on with my sessions.

In between my sessions i plan on working out at home as i brought a exercise dvd the other day. This is Rebecca Wheatley the new me workout, she lost 12 stone with slimming world so this is well worth a try and i got it for only a pound so it's not as if i spent alot of money on it if it isn't for me.

Twice this week i've walked 5miles witch is the best i've done for a few of weeks so hopefully it will really help on the scales but we'll see on tuesday.

It's lunch time and i think it's time to eat but i've no idea what to have, i think maybe sausages and chickpea dahl.

2 stone down

So another weigh day and another loss. Today i got a loss of 1lb so i now have lost a total of 2 stone dead on. I'm so pleased with this as it's going in the right direction. It may have taken me 15 weeks to get here but i don't mind as its coming off and that's what i want.

Last week i manged two 6 mile walks, one on monday and one on friday with my bff. I want to be able to do the same again this week but you never know whats going to happen to get in the way of good intentions. But for the moment i still have them so i can't see anything getting in the way.

I'm hoping to bake a couple of slimming world cakes as i really fancy having cake and this will be a low syn way of having some. I'll let you know how they turn out when i've done them.

It's getting late and i'm hungry so take and happy slimming

1st Target Reached

Yesterday was weigh day and i wasn't too sure about what i'd see when i stepped on the scales but i was very happy to see that i had lost 3lbs which meant that i had got my Club 10. Next week i need at least a pound and i'll have my two stone award. I was so pleased i did a little dance lol. The group was good fun last night as we laughed alot.

I did manage to walk 6 miles on monday and i want to that again a couple times before next weigh day. I also tried to buy a cheap skipping rope but they are only sold in the summer. I mentioned this at group last night and it was suggested that i buy a cheap washing line and use that, so the next time i see one i'll buy it.

Can't write much as my connection is being a pain.

So take care and happy slimming

Bad Week

This week was not good as when i weighed in on tuesday i had gained 11/2lbs and i was so gutted. To be honest i didn't have a good week food wise as i eat some stupid things. The fact that i've not been feeling very well and i'm still not well. I've had a headache all day today and even thou i've taken pain killers its still there.

I need to do more exercise and i'm hoping i can over the weekend and it all depends on how i feel. Fingers crossed that it will be good.

It's late and i think i should go and curl up in bed with my book.
