Hello!
It's been 3 Months since my last post - I've had a ridiculously busy few months with the build up to Christmas through work and socially that I really haven't given a thought to losing weight. I've kept up my exercise through Netball twice a week and walking at the weekend and also eating relatively healthily - except for the Christmas Chocolate and snacks! So I've ended up maintaining at 12st 6 - which I'm fine with, it shows me my lifestyle is on track and that I just need to make a concerted effort to shift this extra weight and then continue to maintain.
For me it is quite a mental struggle - to say no to naughty snacking and too many carbs with my main meals and also pushing myself out the door for a run when it's raining outside!
I'm getting married on the 26th of August this year (exciting) but I'm desperate to be 10st7 by then - so that gives me 33 weeks to loose 27lbs, sounds achievable at less than a pound a week, but I'm sure it will have it's ups and downs. My Hen do is the 21st of July so if I could get to my Goal weight by then that would be awesome.
I have already bought my Wedding Dress a month or so ago... I currently wear some size 12 and some size 14 clothes so was distraught when they ordered me a size 16 for my dress hopefully they can take it in easily because I'm determined to be slimmer for the wedding day!!
So How do I do it??? I had a Fitbit for Christmas which I am hoping will help me on my journey, I'm quite competitive so I've already been walking further to achieve my goals! I'm also desperate to get back to running - since moving house I've lost my running route and will to do it... but I'm going to force myself to find a new one.
Just getting over a horrible chesty cold at the moment which has hampered my progress but I WILL loose 2lbs this week and report back next week (positive thinking right?)
Any hoo Happy New Year all!
