Week 66 Weigh in

Another 2½lbs this week which I am over the moon with. To get to my Christmas target, i need to loose 2lb per week, Which is doable. I have 29lbs to go and as long as I get some of the way there for Christmas I will be happy. I have 2½lb to loose for my next award which I would really like to try and do this week. I am going to be very good this week with only one meal out and try and get as much exercisie in as possible.

Allthough nearly had a major setback on the exercise front on Sunday, when I came a cropper from my sisters horse. I went out the back door !!! He is nearly 18hands, and I haven't fell off a horse for over 3 years and it was a very long way to fall. It was mainly hurt pride, but I was a little winded and have got some inner thigh strain, but I managed to soldier on and go to Spinning & Studio Strength on Sunday night. And I will get back on again, but may not be quite as adventurous as jumping next time......

Its spinning and the gym today, and going to go on the rower and go for 9mins 13 or lower as that is my personal best. Must do some good weights on the pullovers, as I gould really feel those on my triceps last week for about three days afterwards !!! Claire that i go to the gym with calls me the Punnisher... I cant think why LOL

I have been very good so far today and want to stay that way for the rest of the day, I had a bit of a disaster at breakfast as my bread was mouldy so I had to throw itaway after it was cooked, cause although the slice I tried to use did not have any mould on it, tasted vile , so my lovely breakfast had to go in the bin. So then i had no time at all to prepare anything else, so I had a muller lite yogurt.

Only snag was I was having mullerlite and fruit for my lunch today. Its a good job they were on offer in Morrisons. And actually I don't feel that hungry... at the moment, that will be all the grapes I have ate !! Going to have some melon before I go to the gym, then I can have what I want for tea tonight, almost. Infact I know my tea is 6 syns cause it is a Quorn Lasange that some one at Slimming world made for me. So really looking forward to that and will be able to even have it with a slice of bread, as breakfast went so wrong !!!

Going to try and limit my syns this week to 10 per day except for tomorrow when I have a tea allready prepared for me that I don't know what it is.

Feel very motivated for the week ahead, and really really want to loose this 2½lbs. Have got a christening on Sunday which could Hamper me slightly, allthough I am going to offer to drive and that should help the acohol syns.

Its the Weekend

Going to the gym today to do spinning class and studio strength class. Been good syn wise this week have stayed away from chocolate and alcohol. I did have a naan bread last night, but only cause the low fat fish dish I had cooked myself was vile !! I was starving and had come back from the gym.
I sometimes do this and get get very disappointed with my cooking ability !!
But it will be ok tonight, as you cant go wrong with Pork Chops.

Gym planned for Sunday as well, may even try and do three classes on sunday, which should help for a loss on Monday.

My freind Beck is still on track as well and we are together this weekend, so hopefully we should manage to stay syn free, and keep each other motivated. I am hoping that I loose 2lb on monday, which will keep me on track for my Xmas target, and even if it is a little less I will still be happy, cause its still comming off.

Becks Weigh in & the Gym

My Xmas challenge partner lost another pound this week so on our 35lb for Chrismas challenge we are both level pegging at 4lb each. She is gutted she only lost a pound, but I said to her every pound is a good pound, and she is loosing every week, so she is much more consistant.

Worked really hard at the gym last night, and really pushed myself in spinning and then had a really hard session in the gym. Managed 9.16 on the rower, which was good to say i hadn't been on for a while. I am going to try and do this more to get under 9 mins. No exercise for me tonight as I have a meal out tonight, so going to try and stay syn free all day, and I am driving tonight so they will be no alcohol worries. I am not going to have a pudding, so just the starter and main course to think about.

I forgot to mention

31lb to go to Target

Week 65 Weigh in

Did I do it ?

Yes I lost the 4½ lb I put on last week, and when they read out my weight loss last night it was back to 8 stone 2lbs. I am going to try so hard to never let it say 7 stone something again.

I am also now not obese according to my BMI I am now just overweight. I never thought I would be so happy to be overwight !!

My consultant Jane who has been off for a few week s with a back injury managed to make it last night, and it was really great to see her. She gave me my Woman of the Year award. Last night I filled in the 15 page entry form to enter the district finals. Not sure i will get very far in it though, cause I am still on my weight loss journey and still need to loose another 2 stone, and I haven't really got any exciting stories to tell. But I am entering it anyway so watch this space... I will keep you all posted. It would be nice to get a bit further in the competition, would give me a real achievement, allthough i am happy with what I have achieved so far.

After a nice curry last night, with a garlic and cheese naan bread, I am allready firmly back on track this morning with a large breakfast this morning of eggy bread and cherry tomatoes. Not sure about what to have for lunch today, but I am going to have steak salad for tea tonight after the gym.

The gym today is one spinning class then a good 1-1½ hours in the gym with a work mate (Claire). I haven't been on the rower for ages and want to see if i can still hit the 9.20 mark for 2000meters. Still not sure it that is any good, but when I started going it was around 10.45 so even i can see an improvement. Got to work hard tonight, as won't make the gym tomorrow night, and thursday can only do Hula Hooping.

My Favourite Animal

This is my favourite animal at the moment

Did I Stay on Track ?

I worked very hard and yes i think i could say success . I did Studio Strength & Spinning on Friday night and stuch to plan for my tea when I got home, of Lamb Chops.

Saturday was also a good day as very busy, cattle washing first thing, which must be a good calorie burner, cause washing the car is supposed to be so I will try and equate it like that LOL .

I then Had a bacon & egg sandwich for my lunch which was really nice and set me up for going to the gym later. Did my spinning class, and I do feel that my knee is getting stronger. Its not perfect but it is feeling that i can work harder on it.

Sunday was at a cattle show, so lots of activity, Walking round and a little bad food, cause i submitted to a tray of chips and mushy peas, and two hot donuts (without sugar) but was like a saint for the rest of the day, and went and did studio strength and spinning with my friend Beck, and worked like stink ! I think some of the motivation was the chips and donuts I had ate and not wanting them to ruin my weigh in tonight.

It is the Woman of the Year award to night at slimming world, and I so need to be back to 8 stone lost when they read it out. I know 7stone 12 is a great achievement, but the 8 stone just sounds so much more.

We are having a party night tonight, so I have made a syn free (original) quiche, which tastes yummy, and have brought some of the asda good for you prawn crackery things, just need to check how many syns they are, i think they are about 2 syns per pack.

Watch this space for weigh in news, and who knows I may even post a couple of pictures from the party.
