Back to losing!

Yippee I was dreading weigh in after last week's disappointing one and having had a weekend in London where I totally went off points. And I haven't exercised as much this week as I have hurt y ankle.

But the good news is I have lost 2 1/2 lbs since last Friday and now I am:

Date: 26th March
Weight: 9st 10 lb
Loss/Gain: -2 1/2 lbs
BMI: 25.7
Classed as: Overweight

But I only have 4 lbs to go to be in the right weight range for my height.

BRING IT ON!!!!!

It is raining

A much better day today. I weighed myself "unofficially" from my weigh in day and I was 9 st 10 3/4 lb so I was well chuffed. I went to Pizza Hut on Thursday night and although I ate right it was a big heavy portion. Think it was just sat there the next day plus I am not eating enough of my points which my body will respond to by storing fat. So yesterday I ate all 16 points.

So to celebrate I put on my lovely new running trainers and went out for a run at 7am in the pouring rain. Even after just 3 runs my stamina is really improving - but my new trainers are dirty and wet.

Gutted

Well I weighed myself today I am the following:

Date: 19th March
Weight: 9st 12 1/2 lb
Loss/Gain: +1/4 lbs
BMI: 26.2
Classed as: Overweight

I am so gutted. I have ran or walked 2 miles everyday this week and done an hour of Davina workout and yet I have gained. I have followed the WW plan to the letter and had 20.5 points left over this week. Perhaps I need to be eating more of my points.

Too fed up to write much!

Early morning start

I was very good today. I got up at 6am and was out the door by 6.15 doing my run. My plan says that I should run for 2 minutes and then walk for 4, but it was just too cold to walk for that long, so I ran for 2 minutes and walked for 1 minute - did that for 30 minutes and almost 3 miles. It felt great!!! I definitely need some new trainers though.

First run complete

Well I got up this morning at 7.00 am and went for my first run. I was all kitted out - industrial scaffolding for my boobs, running leggins, trainers, water bottle and oh don't forget Dizzee Rascal on my iPhone. It was very cold!!!! But at least no-one was around to see me running!

Last night I read some training tips and found that to start with you should run for 1 minute and then walk for 1 minute and repeat this 10 times. Well I did this and found that the minute of running went quite fast and a few times when I looked down at my watch I had gone over the minute. I did this 15 times and probably covered about 2 1/2 miles. I came home so cold and puffed out, I thought I would have a lovely hot bath, to find out that we had no hot water so I am waiting for it to warm up now.

My next session says that you should run for 2 minutes and walk for 4 minutes and repeat this 5 times. It says you have a rest day in between but I still want to do my brisk walking and Davina DVDs. Not sure how I am going to fit my running in during the week - may need to get up at about 6am and do it before work.

A bit disappointed!

I only lost 1lb and 3/4 today and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed. I was hoping for at least 2lbs.

I have religiously stuck to my points and always had some left over, have walked and exercised so much that my legs are killing me. Not a naughty piece of food has passed my lips and there has been so much temptation at work! Mind you I have read somewhere that you should eat some of the activity points otherwise you body just tries to store food for energy for the extra exercise being done.

I am clinging to the fact that it is the time of the month and so that will make me heavier :-)

The next week or so could be difficult as I have friends round tomorrow for a Chinese, I have Pizza Hut and the cinema on Thursday and I have a girls weekend to London to celebrate a friend's 40th.

But I am determined to see this through. I think I really want to get to under 9stone. So 12 lbs to go and counting!!!!

As I dropped under the 10 stone mark today, my points have been recalculated and now I only get 16.

I have already done my 2 mile brisk walk today.
Date: 12th March
Weight: 9st 12 1/4 lb
Loss/Gain: 1 3/4 lbs
BMI: 26.1
Classed as: Overweight

I WILL get fit!!!

I am so determined to get thin and fit that today I did the mad thing of signing up for the Race for Life. I don't think I have done any running since I left school - apart from last Friday when I was late getting Zoe from pre-school and I half walked/ran down to the school. I don't class jogging on the spot on the Wii as running.
I have only signed up for the 5k run which is 3.1 miles or so I have been told.
Please, please sponsor me - all goes to Cancer Relief. You will be helping me get thinner and fitter and raise some money for a wonderful cause!!!

I am about to try another one of the Davina workouts. My new workout trousers arrived today - now I just need some industrial strength strapping for my boobs, tummy and bum and I will try my first run on Sunday morning - early before anyone is awake and can see me!!!
