Ok so just half off this week and I know why too.

Last week I started my new job and yeah that’s great and I am enjoying the social interaction with other adults etc and I am even managing to stay away from all the naughty food that people in offices seem to eat….bacon butties every morning, cakes for birthdays, biscuits with coffee……that really isn’t the problem. 

Sadly the down side of going back to work is now the lack of exercise.  At home I used to regularly walk 4 miles a day just doing the school run!  Then of course there was all the standing up ironing and house work which really help in the exercise stakes.

So now I need to actually make an effort to get my exercise in otherwise my weight will start to stabilize as it has already and then before you know it I will be putting on the pounds.

You’d think that as I work for a Fitness firm then it would be easy but going to the gym still takes effort and also takes more time out of my day.

So here’s the plan!  This weekend I am going to get out the bike, dust it down and do a trial run to work and back to see if I can cope and don’t die from exhaustion!  I’m not sure how far it is but I reckon only a few miles there and a few miles back!  Must say I’m not looking forward to the sore backside afterwards though!

I’ll let you know how I get on next week.

Have a good one.

OK so I didn’t write my blog last week and that was probably partly due to the fact that I was really busy and also partly because I didn’t shed any pounds!  However I didn’t put on either so I can’t complain.

This week though….drum roll please……2.5 punds off which means I’ve hit the 2.5 stone mark!!!! Yeah baby!  I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for……oh sorry I am getting carried away!

This just feels so strange.  After all the tough weeks, the stress over hitting the 2 stone mark, I never thought I’d get here!  I am feeling great, looking great and there is definitely no way I am going back!

Last night I found an old slimming world book from 10 years ago.  Then, I was losing weight for my wedding and I was actually lighter when I started than when I started this time and now I am actually lighter than when I stopped last time.  That is just so cool.  I really must dig out my wedding dress and try it on.  I bet it will just hang off me now!

of course the up and downside of losing lots of weight is the constant need to replace clothes!  I’ve done really well so far as my sister has also been looking after herself and shedding the pounds so she has handed over loads of stuff that no longer fit her.  Now though she is nearing her target weight so the clothes will no longer be coming my way!

I also returned to work last week after having 18 months at home!  That was tough on the clothing front too!  All my business suits looked ridiculous so I’ve had to have a shopping trip to get some new stuff in!

Have a brilliant week.
