[AmyS]

Well I had a shock result this week and lost 2lbs even with that horrendous weekend last week!

Am slightly worried though that it will come back to bite me this week as I weighed in at a different class so think the scales were weighing lighter!

Had my best friends wedding on Friday which was fab. I did quite well on the drink front but all the yummy food has definitely dented my syn bank for this week.

Going to stick with the same plan as the last few weeks which is to do Red days from now until WI and hope for the best. Might also get my butt down to the gym tonight as had a lazy few weeks of not going!!

Right so thats the plan - now to stick to it!

[AmyS]

Feeling a bit ill for last couple of days. Have a sore throat and cough and think thats what made me binge last night.:break_diet:

I also did not feel like doing any exercise so didn't! :cry:

Hoping today goes better. Depending how I feel by end of work (5pm) will decide if I go home for a nap or drag my butt to the gym. Quite want to try the Body Pump class after some others were talking about it on here, could also do Zumba tonight. But if i'm honest if I do go will probably just have a swim as don't feel up to doing much else at the mo!!

Eugh! In one of those can't be bothered moods today - good job lunch was prepared last night and all on plan or I would be in trouble!!

[AmyS]

Didn't get to the gym last night. Went home and had a sleep for a couple of hours which made me feel loads better!!

Worrying about WI tomorrow now as I am convinced that the scales at the class I weighed in at last week are 2lb lighter than my usual class! But as all the advice says I must wait until tomorrow and see for certain! I know I haven't been 100% because of the wedding last weekend and lack of exercise! Aghhhhh!

[AmyS]

Well it's weigh in day again and for about the 3rd week in a row I am not feeling confident at all.:sigh:

Maxed out my syns again and really think the last few weeks will catch up on me.

I have decided that as I have nothing on this coming week I am going to be 100% on plan and do at least 2 lots of exercise (other than dancing!). Really want to get into the 11's for my holiday in Sept and not looking likely at the moment.

I am so determined to get this weight off so if I look like I am falling again feel free to give me a giant kick up the butt!!

xx

 

[AmyS]

Well it happened...........the last few weeks of drinking and overindulging have caught up on me and I put on 1lb. Not the end of the world but gutted that I am now 2lb away from my 3 1/2 sticky.

I am so determined to get a good loss this week and have nothing on so hopefully 100% will get me there! (Although will be * week and usually only lose 1/2 or lb)

Action plan for next week:
to do at least 2 sessions in the gym this week either classes or swimming.
to be 100% on plan food wise not going over syns
to drink plenty of water every day (at least 1L at work)
incorporate as many speed foods into meals as possible

OK now it is written down I can update with how I am getting on.

Wish me luck!
