Lbs and Inches

Today I head up north for the weekend leaving the boy in charge of the house and cats (god help them). So no gym, a weekend of giving my body a rest. It will probably appreciate it. I have made a point of leaving my gym stuff at home so I can’t seek out, find a gym and squeeze a session in.

I’m really looking forward to seeing friends I haven’t seen for aaaaggeeessss and I have decided if I don’t stick strictly to the diet then thats fine. Its the first break I’ve had away (apart from going to the parents), for years and it might only be oop norff, but thats good enough for me! I’ll keep making sensible choices food wise (hopefully most of the time), and I will keep logging what I eat on myfitnesspal.com so I can keep an eye on it.

So, to yesterdays weigh in.. another busy week of gym and zumba completed and a small bit of hope still remaining. Had I lost anything?

Well, yes, yes I bloody well have! 1lb! One whole bloody pound! Whoop!! Now in the past I might have been gutted at just the pound, but right now I’ll take any loss! And 1lb is better than the last 3 weeks.

I have also decided it is time to do the inches again, and perhaps keep a stricter more regular eye on them.

In total I have lost these inches.
Bust 6″
Waist 8″
Hips 7″
Widest part 7″
Left arm 4″
Right arm 4″
Left thigh 4″
Right thigh 4″
Left knee 4″
Right knee 4″

Thats 52″ in total.
Or 4’4″
Or 1.4 yards
Or 1.3 m
Or 132.08 cm
Or 1320.08 mm – thats a lot of millimeters!

Now thats not bad huh? So I just have to keep reminding myself the weight might no longer be dropping off quickly, but I have lost over 4 stone and over 4 foot!

1st full week over.

Well thats my first full week done.

Good points about the week
1. I have started eating breakfast.
2. I have done 3 half hour walks in my lunch breaks
3. I have started a 45 min cardio and toning class on a thursday night.
4. I survived the 45 min cardio and toning class!
5. I weighed myself and faced the horrific news with a smile and a determined head.
6. I have measured my body and noted how many inches everything is.
7. Me and the boy had chinese takeaway and I only had a small portion of the chowmein and egg fried rice instead of my usual plate piled high and eating until I can eat no more.
8. I’ve cut down on my tea consumption and had herbal tea instead.
9. I feel good about what I have done and feel very determined.

Bad points about the week:
1. I had a slip up, I ate a Baby Ruth.
2. I didn’t do 2 of my half hour walks due to a nasty cold I’ve got.
3. I had chinese and felt guilty about it.
4. Finding out how much I weigh.

So all in all the positives out weight the negatives. That can’t be bad can it?
The Baby Ruth consumption was a moment of weekness. I saw it and thought of The Goonies. You know when Chunk uses it to befriend Sloth?

I had also been up since 4am and it was 6pm and I was suffering sleep deprivation. (Suuusssh I know I’m making excuses).

Anyway as those who follow me on Twitter, might have seen I have decided Thursday nights are the nights I am going to be revealing how much I’ve lost each week.  So next week will be the first update re that. I am so ashamed of how much I weigh so I am not telling you my weight just the amount I’ve lost. That might change over time, but for now it’s just my business.
I will also, when I see the inches lost let you know that as well.

So into the 2nd week I go. First though its a trip to the supermarket to find something yummy for tea. Suggestions anyone?!
See ya! xx
