Fitness plan 2015: week 7 round-up

Last week's brilliant result spurred me on.  I did all the right things, ate all the right things and exercised till my legs could take no more.

But...no weight loss this week.  Stayed the same.  To be honest I was extremely pissed off about that, after all the sacrifices and time spent exercising this week.

Anyway I've decided to take a week away from the scales next Friday although I'm still going to stick to the plan.  Next week's very likely to be quite a stressful week and I don't need to give myself a hard time to add to that.  So there will be a report next week, but no weigh-in for a fortnight.

Fitness plan 2015: week 6 round-up

I wouldn't usually do this till Sunday, but I was so happy with this week's result that I wanted to share it tonight :)

I've been very good this week, lots of home-made soup, fruit salads, lots of water and ridiculous amounts of exercise = 4lbs weight loss.  In one week!  That's not usually the kind of thing which happens to me, as even when I was doing a structured 'diet' I struggled to lose any more than 2lbs a week.  I know this isn't going to be a regular occurrence, but I'm just going to toast my success tonight with a (non-diet) glass of wine :))

Fitness plan 2015: week 5 round-up

After the binge-eating disaster of the previous two weeks (and the reappearance of "the chins"), there was worse to come. At the beginning of this plan I decided not to weigh myself, however curiosity got the better of me and I was faced with the shock news that I had gained five pounds.  After coming to terms with this, it was enough to motivate me back into my healthy eating and exercise routine, and back in the dieting mindset again - water, home made soup and fruit have been my best friends this week!  I've been a very good girl. *polishes halo*

One change is that I've reluctantly decided to bring back my Friday weigh-ins which I used to do on WeightWatchers. So I nervously stepped on the scales yesterday to discover that I'd lost 2lbs this week.  I'm extremely happy with this result as I hadn't done any aerobics this week and only focused on walking and the exercise bike (needed to get the leg fitness back) so in the coming week I'm back to doing my aerobics again in addition to everything else, and hoping to lose another 2lbs.

Fitness plan 2015: week 4 round-up

As predicted last week it was inevitable that I wouldn't have a very successful week - but not only that, I've only gone and spectacularly undone all my good work of the first 2 weeks (and mediocre attempts of the 3rd week).

So it's back to square one yet again from tomorrow, only this time I'm going to add some seriously healthy eating into the equation from now on.  I'm banking on the (previously successful) golden trilogy of home-made soup for lunch, after-work aerobics, and gallons of water to help me back on the path to fitness.

Not going to beat myself up over it - let's draw a line under the past week and move right on...!
