Weight Loss #12

 

Good evening all :)

 

Well I've been absent for a couple of weeks on my blog as it has been my birthday and I have been really busy with cake orders and home improvements :)

 

It was my birthday on the 1st Feb and I had a lovely day :) my little boy went to spend the night at the grandparents and me and my hubby went shopping and out for a lovely meal :) I ate birthday cake for breakfast :) (and dinner & dessert after my meal out lol) enjoyed a lovely meal out and some more wine at home :) I was really good in the week leading up to my birthday to try and take some of the hit and luckily it worked and I managed to maintain my weight.

 

So this week just gone I have tried to get back on track and tonight was my weigh in...

 

Weigh in update: -1.5lb

 

I achieved my 1 and a half stone award too :) and I'm only half a pound away from going into the next stone bracket :)

 

 

I came home and enjoyed a simple meal of fish and chips :)

(No syns)

 

 

 

I have treated myself to a cadbury creme egg as well though :)

 

I have lost 6.5lb so far this year which works out at just over a pound a week on average. I was hoping to hit an average of 1.5lb per week but I'm quite happy with my loss. My goal for the beginning of April was 20lb lost but I think I'm going to revise this goal and aim for 14lb loss by 31st March.

 

I do think I need to get on with some exercise though. I attempted to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred but my DVD player remote won't work and the buttons on the player don't help. I've got a cross trainer in the garage but its sooooo cold at the moment. I need to get my act together and just do it.

 

I hope you're all doing well :) let me know how you're getting on with your weight loss :)

Weight Loss #11

 

 

Morning all :)

 

 

So I went to my meeting late on Monday night as my hubby didn't get back in from work til late. Luckily they were still weighing and hadn't started the meeting.

 

 

Weigh in update: -2.5lb!!!!!!

&

I got my club 10 :)

 

For any of you that don't know what club 10 is, it means I have lost 10% of my body weight, if I manage to keep it off for 10 weeks then I get a week free at my meeting :)

 

With getting to this milestone I have been looking back at my weight loss and it may have been slow and steady but since last January I have now lost 20lb which I think is great. I wish it had been faster but at least I've lost the weight and kept it off.

 

So onwards to a new week and I'm currently on target of hitting my 1.5lb loss a week so I've done my online shopping tonight which should arrive first thing tomorrow morning full of things to keep me on track towards my goal.

 

Oh 2 things that have really helped over the last few weeks which I thought I'd share with you. Firstly I have been making a massive bowl of fruit salad and keeping it in the fridge to snack on and to satisfy my sweet tooth and second of all I keep telling myself to take it a day at a time especially when I really want to give in and eat chocolate and pizza on a Sunday night. I have been telling my self that if I can just get through the day without going over my syn allowance then tomorrow is a new day and before I know it we're back round to weigh day :)

 

So good luck to you this week I hope you're doing well.

My Goals 2014

 

Hello all, hope you're having a good day.

Now I know we're into the second week of January and for anyone reading this you may be sick of reading all about peoples goals and life aspirations but really anytime is a good time to set some goals and things to achieve it makes us positive and productive (now I'm just spouting rubbish so I'll get on with it lol)

I set myself some to do list things last year when I started this blog and I have managed to achieve some of them.

I now have my hygiene certificate for my cake business, I have added more cakes to my portfolio and I obviously achieved all my Christmas plans.

Now for 2014 I would really like to achieve:

1. My weight loss goals
2. 2 areas of the house decorated
3. Build my cake business further and add to my cake portfolio
4. Complete my 30 by 30 list
5. Keep up with this blog

 

I think 5 year goals is quite enough to be going on with :) There will certainly be more things to achieve throughout the year but I think they will go on a separate to-do list.

I'll come back to review this I think possibly at 3 month intervals to keep my eye on the goals :)

Does anyone else make goals or resolutions for the year? Are they practical and achievable or do you fall at the first hurdle?
