Big Week

Well I am on such a high right now. This morning i got my 5st award which marks my half way point. I also got slimmer of the week and my platinum body magic award which means i'm fit for life.
I am so pleased but i have no idea how i lost 3 1/2lbs this week as i was out for a few days with a migraine so missed out on a couple of gym sessions but i did have a couple of long bike rides before then so that must have helped.
Not with it enough to write any more.
Take care and happy slimming

Erm Whoops It's been AGES

I know i know it's been a long time since i last wrote but i hope this makes up for it.

For eight weeks i was losing and gaining the same few pounds and it was driving me mad as i was so close to my 4 1/2st and i finally got that last week. It was so disheartening but now things are back on track and i'll keep posting here about it more often.
Yesterday was weigh day and this week i lost 2 1/2lbs which brings my weight to 14st 10lbs (i haven't been this weight is YEARS) and this means i'm 3 1/2lbs off my 5st award and all being well i'll get that in the next couple of weeks.
While i wasn't losing the weight my measurements have changed so i'm really pleased with that and i'm not about a size 16 which is just brilliant and just shows how well i'm doing with this as last year i was wearing size 26. Next year i'll hopefully be in a 10-12 and i will be over the moon.

One thing that has changed is the amount of body magic that i'm doing. Here is my basic week

Monday - 30min spin class, 1 1/2hr gym workout, 3 mile cycle
Tuesday - 1hour fit ball class (core workout), 40min cardio, 6 mile cycle
Wednesday - 45min spin class, 1 1/2hr gym workout, 3 mile cycle
Friday - 1 1/2hr gym workout, 3 mile cycle

That's at least 15 miles of cycling and 7 hours 25minutes in the gym.

Today i cycled 13.6 miles on top of my gym session and yesterday i walked about 8.5 miles and it's only day two of the week. I maybe going for a bike ride on sunday with my bff and monday will be back to my normal routine. It has taken 10 months to get to this level and i know that it's a way of life now and i never want to go back to how i was before.
Now i don't think twice about going and doing any exercise and i cycle everywhere that i can and i'm more than happy to walk the dog and she loves a long walk.

So much is going through my mind about what has been going on in the last couple of months but i can't seem to get it make sense enough to write here so this will have to do for now as it's a good start.
I promise not to leave it so long again.
