"only" lost 1lb - Weigh In Week 9 + 10

Sorry I'm so late with posting this!! The Christmas madness has hit and time is just flying by!!

Two weeks ago, I was up 1 pound and was very disappointed, its a total cop out but I'm blaming my jeans for giving me a gain that night!!

Last Thursday night I was down 1 pound, another excuse for this one, (I was hoping for a bigger loss) I weighed in on a different scales!!

The last 2 weeks weigh in's have left me feeling very disappointed BUT I refuse to give in, I feel great and I feel like I've lost wight even tho the scales hasn't confirmed this in the last 2 weeks!!

Weight lost to date: 8.5lbs
Onwards and Downwards, the Slimming World way :)

Week 13 Weigh-in 2013‏

Hey Guys,
I was very tempted to skip the scales this week. But after all the positive feed back I received from my last post I decided that I needed to bite the bullet and step on the scales and basically cope myself on!!

To my shock, surprise and delight I was down 3lbs on the scales, I had mentally prepared myself to be told I was up and I needed to pull my head in, wire my jaw shut and get on with things!!
My adviser was thrilled for me, especially after Easter weekend, I'd eaten 1.5 Easter eggs after all and I'd had red meat for dinner 4 days in the week. (which is a big no, no)
After she looked through my food diary she agreed that I should have been up this week too!
She reckoned that the last couple of weeks of low scoring weigh in's are starting to show and catch up and stand to me, and that kinda makes sense :)
I would say that in the last week I was 80% good with my food, I found myself picking and eating extras alrite, so I need to pull that back!!

I think the thing that helped with my results was the extra exercise, since I've been in a bad mood and not in the form to be around people I have been hitting the gym (it also helps that I have a 30 day class pass, so its free) Last week I went to total Spinning bank holiday Monday night and I went to Spin & Abs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I also went for 4 x lunch time walks and on Friday night went for a 2.5 mile walk... So I would say that I was 100% good with moving my ass. 3 spins and 5 walks in 5 days.. I think that's a personal best for me :)

I'm going to try and get back to writing more positive posts which will in turn send out positive messages and vibes to others, because having a positive mental "can do" attitude is key to me succeeding on this journey and i do want to succeed  I've been self sabotaging and that has upset me also.. so I know I need to stop feeling sorry for myself, yes its a tough thing to stick with but its definitely worth while and its what I want.
Nobody is making me do any of this. Nobody has a gun to my head. This is all for me and about me.

I saw on twitter over the weekend that the skinny doll is BACK with her next challenge sign up today, Its a 9 week challenge that will take us through to the June bank holiday weekend.

I've decided that I need to start setting myself some targets instead of just talking about doing it.

• I plan to be down 2lbs next week
• I will also try new classes this week (zumba and rip60)

I hope you had a good week and weigh in xxx

10.5lbs  lost, 49.5lbs to go.... 

Week 12 Weigh-in 2013‏

Hey Guys,

Hope your relaxing on this bank holiday Monday :)
I got weighed on Friday this week, so a day early because of the bank holiday weekend.

I was up 1.5 on the scales and up 1 in muscle!! its my first time being up on the scales since I started back in January and I'm a little bit gutted to be honest :(
These things happen I guess and I can blame getting weighed a day early and at 4pm rather than 11am!
But I was up, I had a good week I had thought.
I'd had 3 x 20 minute lunch time walks and 2 x Spin & Ab classes, so I was feeling good about stepping on the scales.
I was being extra good because I was fearful of the long weekend (see my post from Friday here)

So I stepped on the scales hoping that I'd be reporting back a good result!
My food diary was checked and they flagged some of my dinner choices as being the reason for not being down my target of 3 (or not being down at all) I had eaten a pork chop, noodles with my chicken stir-fry and I'd had mince in stew! I would not have seen any of these as being super bad! especially as these were my dinner choices. I have to eat.

I was very upset about this on Friday afternoon, but I guess it was bound to happen at some stage and it means that I'll have to up my game and try to be even more careful next week!!

Today's the first of April. And I am so far failing in my efforts to be down 8lbs per month!!

As of today I'm down 11.5lbs, I should be down 24lbs!! Not good, I'm way off target.

But I don't have time to feel sorry for myself, bottom line is I have to try harder, not anybody else. ME ME ME.
So I've rang the gym and signed in for a 7pm spin tonight to kick start my week.
I WILL DO BETTER THIS WEEK!!

11.5lbs  lost, 49.5lbs to go....
