Such a Happy Bunny

Today is weigh day and i was so pleased when i stepped on the scales this morning. For the last four weeks i have maintained and today i finally lost weight. The loss this week was a whopping 5 1/2lbs and i'm so so happy with this as i got my 3 stone award and i also got slimmer of the week.
I feel that i have worked so hard for it and i will be doing it all again next week and the foreseeable time to come. Since last weeks weigh in i have done the following body magic

Monday - 30 min Spin class, 20 mins toning, 1hr Pilate's, 1hr swim and about an hour of walking
Tuesday - about and hour of walking
Wednesday - 1 1/2 hrs walking, 1hr 20 mins gym session, 1hr swimming

This is a good amount of body magic and i'm so pleased. Tomorrow i'll be back at the gym and i should be going for a swim as well.
I have booked again for spin and pilates which i am enjoying and with the gym routine, swimming and the walking i'm feeling good about myself.
This time a year ago i was really ill and couldn't walk that far without having to sit down and take deep breathes. It is such a change and i feel so good about it.
If i think about it i am doing the most amount of exercise that i have ever done in my life. I never enjoyed it at school as PE lessons were so boring and i've never liked running (i still hate running) and soon as i no longer had to do it i was so pleased and didn't do anything apart from going swimming every now and then as it's something i have always enjoyed and i always will.
I now know that i have found that i do like to exercise but it has taken me a long time to get to this point and i will be doing it for the rest of my life and as long as i can.

I have 6lbs to my next award which is my 3 1/2 stone and i wonder how long it will take me to get there. To be honest i'd love to get it in a couple of weeks but i know that it may not happen and i'm fine with that as long as carry on with what i'm doing as i'm building a healthy lifestyle and that's what is important at the end of the day.

That's it for today but i'll post again soon and i think it's time for more recipes

Take care and happy slimming

Its been a while

Wow is it really February? It seems that the start of the year has flown by and i'm still determined to loose the weight.
So what have i been doing since i last posted? Well things have been all over the place emotionally and i'm trying to get back on track with that. I'm not going to go into it on here but those closest to me know all about it.
Weight wise i haven't lost anything for a few weeks but i haven't gained either so it's not too bad maintaining my weight. I'm hoping for a loss this week and all being well i don't see why i won't.
Last week i started my monthly membership at the gym which i'm so pleased about. It feels so good to know that i can do classes, use the gym and go swimming. I have started to work the swimming into my workout and i do feel good for it and i will keep it up. Yesterday i did my first class which was spinning (aka studio cycling) and i did enjoy it which to be honest that was a surprise and i've signed up for next weeks class. The other class that i have signed up for is pilates and this is the one i'm really looking forward to. You always here so much about this and i've always wondered what its like and this is my chance. This will mean that i'll be doing two classes in one day but i'll give it a go and see how i do.
Tomorrow i'm off to the gym again and then i'll be going for a swim and i'm looking forward to it. It feels so good to be in the pool swimming as one of the things i've been able to do no matter what and i've done it on and off all my life. I just wish i knew why being in the pool feels so good and i can swim for ages and worry about it. Roll on tomorrow lol
Last week i got weighed on thursday morning and i got my silver body magic award which i'm so pleased about and i'm starting to work towards my gold which will be in a couple of months.

I'm typing this and my brain isn't with it so i'll end it here tonight and post again soon.
Take care and happy slimming
