Todays Weigh In :

Weight                      : 77.9 kgs = 171.4 lbs

Lost this week           : 500g = 1lb 1.637oz
Total loss to date      :  1.2 kgs
Goal weight              : 74 kgs (Goal set according to Weigh Less calculation)
To reach goal            : 3.9 kg

After my little wobbly weigh in on Wednesday I was really feeling down and almost completely blew off my eating plan.  But after a day or three of feeling sorry for myself and a little, no to be truthful a lot disappointed I decided to get back on track and push myself.

So since Sunday I worked it - walking the dog on Sunday and going every day so far this week and hitting the treadmill and its paying off.

This week I'm going to keep at it and push even harder.  I want this for me, for how I feel about myself and I know each day that I hit the exercises and treadmill I'm getting stronger and fitter and I'm finding that slowly my energy levels are increasing and I'm feeling a whole lot better in general.

Hope you've had a successful week.

Wednesday Weigh In : November 14 = Disappointing

Todays Weigh In :

 

Weight                      : 78.4 kgs = 172.5 lbs

Gained this week      : 200g = 0lb 7.0548oz
Total loss to date      : 700g
Goal weight              : 74 kgs (Goal set according to Weigh Less calculation)
To reach goal            : 4.4 kg

It's really difficult not to let it get you down when you've been exercising and mostly keeping to the eating plan (to say that I did not indulge in anything bad is putting it mildly - I declined so many nice things and really behaved better than the week before)  to then hop on the scale, fully expecting it to be going in the downwards direction, only to see it climb a little. 

Now 200g = 0lb 7.0548oz is not a lot and since I had been doing some (Blog)Pilates and could feel the muscles getting bulkier, it could well be that I'm building muscle, which in fact weighs more than fat.  But, lets see how I go ... feeling a little disappointed and despondent at the moment.

How are you doing?

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday Weigh In

Go me ... go me!

I'm happy, excited and celebrating me! Although I did not stick with the eating plan 100% due to an outing to the Photo Expo, a visit to the US Consulate and a slice of divine cheesecake last night, I still lost.  I admit, I was far more focussed and conscious this week and it paid off.  Last night, a second slice of cheesecake was tempting, but I told it to be quiet and packed it in the container for the men of the house to enjoy today.

Todays Weigh In :

Weight                 : 78.2 kgs
Loss this week     : 1kg
Total loss to date : 900g (sadly I had picked up 100g when I weighed in last week)
Goal weight         : 74 kgs (Goal set according to Weigh Less calculation)
To reach goal      : 4.2 kg

I'm hoping to achieve the above goal within the next 4 weeks.  I will admit, that I'd like to get down to 70kgs, but am not pressuring myself with that right now, once I reach goal weight, I get a few more points on my Vitality and I'm working hard towards attaining my points.  In the meantime though,  I'm just so thrilled to see the scale actually moving in the downward direction instead of upwards as it did last week.

Workout/Training

I did the Bikini Blast 1 (or so I thought, but somehow got to the second one - either way - they work you) workout mentioned in yesterdays post this morning and then this evening will go to the gym with my boys and hit the treadmill.  Unfortunately, my home workouts don't register on my Vitality Health points so I don't 'earn' anything for them.  So going to the gym and hitting the treadmill at least it counts.

Well friends, that's my story for the day - hope you're having a magical day.

Wednesday Weigh In - Not a good one

This is how it went :

Weight today :  79.2 kgs

Gain of 100g over the last week

Well, I did not get off to a good start and am not at all surprised by the 100 grams gain, and its all my own fault and a case of bad planning and some serious craziness that's gone on - like a visit to UIF on Friday morning where I forgot my snack and water behind, spending Monday morning having my son having his arm xrayed and finding he'd fractured it and all that without breakfast or snack and then rushing yesterday to try and secure an earlier interview date at the US Embassy - shew - poor excuses, but they do influence the days rhythm anyway.

I now have a goal to work towards as well and the goal is that my ex in-laws are paying for me to fly to the USA to attend my daughters wedding and I'd like to look better, leaner and fitter by the end of December - that gives me two months to get 'down 'n dirty'!  She moved the date from 9th November to January when her Dad told her that this was happening. 

I'm going to be planning my meals for the next week and am working towards doing a few more blogilate workouts and to keep hitting the gym.

A little disappointed because I did not prepare well, but as I said, not surprised, but happy it wasn't more.

So friend, how's your week going?
