Well, after a lot of thought I have decided to move up the plans and join the gym, so yesterday I had the 1000 cals, seemed like tons around dinner time last night, had to have my fruit later on in the evening as I had saved a tetra, frozen it and had it after my dinner... this morning I get on the scales all prepared for a gain and I have lost 0.4lbs.... hmmmm not sure how that works. My scales also calculate my bmi and according to my scales at 10.5.8 my bmi is 24.9 which means I also have a healthy bmi.... lol
I also spoke to a very nice man from the gym yesterday, he said another lady who has done cambridge diet goes to the gym there every day, and she has lost 4 stone like me (well at official WI I am only 2lb away) and for an extra £20 when I start, I can have a personal trainer do a full health check and they will devise a plan for me too, he knows I would still like to lose weight if possible and that my problem area is my tum, he says there is a 30 min class especially for tums, but I told him I am so unfit I would not last a 30 min class at the moment.... lol He also knows I am on 1000 cals at the moment and I intend to work up the cals, but I get 4 assessments over the weeks for my fitness plan and so it can be adjusted as I work up, so its looking good at the gym, I will pay monthly but can cancel with just a months notice, so not tied in there if I change my mind at any stage. So at the moment that is my plan.... unfortunately I have several social occasions at the moment, this weekend we are in London to see The Killers on Sunday night, but will probably be meeting up with MIL for a meal Sunday afternoon, but I will eat sensibly and leap around like a looney at the concert... then the following weekend, all day party for MILs 50th birthday and she will be doing loads of cooking, will just have to have my willpower hat on that day, and the following weekend it is hubbys birthday and inlaws will be coming here, I guess at some point we will have a takeaway, but something like tandoori chicken shouldn't be too bad, then 2 weeks after that we will be on holiday for a week.... but should be running myself ragged cleaning out our caravan, packing etc, so will probably lose weight before I even get there.... lol
