Well it’s another humdinger of a week! 3.5 pounds off….come on!!!

So it really feels like I am on a role. Half a pound more off this week than last week which is great, so what have I done differently?

Well food wise I have eaten much the same. By that I mean I am loading my plate with plenty of veggies and eating fruit when peckish and just generally sticking to the rules from my weight loss group.

The only other thing I have done is increase my activity levels. I haven’t mentioned exercise before and I think we all know how important it is. Mention the “E” word and we all groan (at least we do when starting out doing the wicked deed!) and then soon enough, and you may just have to trust me on this, you actually do start to enjoy it, especially when the pounds start to shift in the right direction!

Anyway, exercise isn’t something that I am consciously doing. I am not going to the gym, not going out specifically for a bike ride, not going for a run. All these things are great to do but if at first exercise isn’t your bag then forget it!

All I am doing is staying on my feet more, walking a bit further than I would have done before and I can tell you that I am definitely feeling fitter. In fact yesterday I didn’t get in my car once! With the weather on my side I walked to my kids school and back three times…two school runs and one Christmas Concert, then after school I also had to take my eldest to the doctors and she was happy to walk there and back too. So all in all I walked 8 whole miles and that is without all the steps done in between!

With christmas coming up click here to download my present to you!

Have a great week.
