Week 16 and a bit!

Life has been hectic and I haven't been following the plan as I should be!

Need to reset my goals (just like my iPad!) and get back on the wagon.

Starting weight was 133.1kg

Current weight is 124.7kg

Total loss so far 8.1kg (17.8lbs)

So still a good loss but that's now on average 1lb per week - so not bad because if I keep that up that's still 4 stone in a year!

Need to get back to aquafit and I have found a zumba pass which will be valid until January so hoping to get back to that as well - teacher does something call zumba plus which includes 15 extra minutes of toning the areas we all love to hate.

Also need to get back to planning meals - have winged it the past 4 weeks and I know that for this plan to work I have to plan!

The party season is upon us and although I do not go out for either my work or hubby's work, I suddenly have lots of social engagements to attend. I need to be able to plan ahead which can sometimes be very difficult when you are not going to chain restaurants and can't find the menus beforehand to try and made a planned sensible choice.

Loosing the amount of weight that I have to loose was never going to be easy, but the NSVs I have at present is that I have dropped at least one trouser size in my work trousers and my jeans are saggy on me now and could do with a new pair! My tops feel looser on me and I probably need to look to invest in some new ones as well. So I know that things are good, I just need to stay focused and get there.

I have changed my weigh in day to a Wednesday from now on so week 18 will be the starting point from next week!

Week 13

It has been a fraught couple of weeks - but then again, in my life, that just seems to be a normal week!

I put on 1kg on week 11 but have managed to loose 0.5kg in week 12.

I still need to look to move my weigh-in day to a Thursday - forgot to do it this week, but am off work next Thursday so hopefully I will remember to try it on that day.

Have been fairly good all week this past week but we have been to collect son from his first 6 weeks n the Army and so on the Friday I had a small cooked breakfast at our Premier Inn hotel and then didn't eat anything else until we got home. We stopped off at Pizza Express and I thought I was being good ordering one very thin pizza. Got home and tracked it- 33 fat points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the love of god - that's horrendous. That took my total of fat points on Friday to 73 points  - so bad!
I also haven't pointed the vodka or the snacks we had at the hotel on the Thursday night.

Fit points have also dipped over the past couple of weeks and I haven't hit my 85 point target for a couple of weeks now - really need to step it up!

Weigh in then was a surprise - I lost 1.4kg which brings my total loss to 9.5kg or 20.9 pounds in old money -that's a stone and a half - wow!

Need to work hard and see what happens next week
