First week done - tick


Thank goodness I lost some weight - this would have been the shortest blog ever!

Current weight 14st 6.5lb yay 3lb lost (good for my first week but I don't expect to maintain loss at this level). Measured my Fat % too this morning...drum roll please....a whopping 46%. That's almost half my body weight (for those not great at maths :-) ) that's bad.

So my underwear has been a debate this week lol. Mainly whether to wear the same for each picture? At first I was thinking no. Last week when my intention was to post daily my husband was keen to check that I was wearing clean knickers each day!! - how very rude. As I'm now posting weekly its not difficult to wear the same undies but I was thinking they'd soon be too big for me, and I can't possibly take a pic with me knickers around me ankles. But maybe that's the point...see me grow out of them. (I will change once they start to fall down - promise)

So Richard has asked me what my goals are ; short/medium/long term. So? I'm not sure. I've tried that game before 'I will lose 2st before my birthday! I want to be a size 14 by the time I go on holiday. I will lose 4lb this week' and quite frankly this just never works for me. I always fail, feel shit, then stuff my face with chocolate. My long term goal is easy - I want to wear size 12 jeans from Next, Fat Face & New Look. If this makes Dorothy Perkins size 12 too big, so be it. It must be that size in those 3 retailers. Time scale - how ever long it takes me. I suspect that means losing 5st which if I think of it makes me cry, seems an impossible task, like climbing Everest. So I'll aim for Bennachie first. Now to my short term goal - how about abstaining from alcohol for 2 weeks? Medium goal - getting my fitness levels up and exercising 4 times a week? Because really the whole point has to be fitness & healthy not losing weight - but I will discuss this another week!

What I have learnt this week? Make sure that everything I eat is delicious. No more eating lunch/dinner and not really enjoying. What a waste of calories!


Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.
