Weigh in time

The time has come! It's weigh-in time... Has all my hard work paid off? I feel much better and healthier. I'm still struggling with the smoking thing but I can still workout and eat fairly well so all things in time.

Somewhere between starting this blog and actually joining the gym (Christmas and new year) I gained some weight and some centimetres. I'm a little peeved about that but it was self inflicted and I didn't gain as much as I had previously lost so I'm still in track for the summer.

I haven't touched the tins of slimfast I just can't bring myself to.

I did however buy another pack of alli to boost me along and because they were on special offer. 

My weight has dropped by around 2 1/2kg my waist has dropped but I'm not sure how much because I bloat and fluctuate so much my upper body strength has increased. I can now do 3 push ups on my toes lol seems like nothing but it's a major achievement to me. My clothes aren't strangling me any more although they're hardly hanging off of me.

I've been wearing my old corset in an attempt to 'train' my waist. It also prevents me from over eating if I ever get a lil carried away.

I've booked a personal trainer for 15 sessions which I will work around my current twice a day gym visits.

I've had this PT before I couldn't manage anything else after his sessions I was tired and sore and even shaking lol.

I'm pleased with my slow but steady progress.

Excuse the lack of clothing in the first pics I feel a lil sick looking at them myself but I intend to be a boss girl! Ripped n strong lol 

Finally off the starting block

Soooo I've made it back to the gym, I'm going regularly and even have a gym buddy. I'm logging my food and exercise on myfitnesspal to help me look at what I'm eating and encourage myself to exercise and for me most importantly meal plan.

I'm down to smoking 2 cigarettes a day, but in all honesty I could do with smoking none!

I'm still a fur-less Cookie Monster but I'm not gaining weight with it because I refuse I have cheat weekends instead of cheat days lol but I plan to workout twice a day instead of once, eventually. The biggest loser contestants workout for around 4 hours a day and they look great so it can't be bad for me. 

I've got a lot if weight to lose and summers fast approaching I'm weighing in at 106.9kg and 120cm waist (boohoo)  

I'm not upset I know I can lose it I've done it before but now u know how important exercise is to my general health altogether. I've been able to sleep which is fanatastic for dealing with my children ad also regulating what I'm eating.

As soon as my daughter settles in preschool I'll have 3 hours a day to workout, clean, shop whatever I need to do quickly and most importantly quietly lol.

I need to get an MP3 player, a new sports bra and maybe some leggings too.

I'm already thinking of low maintenance hairstyles I can wear whilst working out regularly. 

I haven't had much use for but I am taking alli on my cheat days or any meals that include fried food. I have probably less than 10 left and when they're gone they're gone!

I need to use up those 3 tins of slim fast in my cupboard, they're taking up space. My intolerance to milk means I'll have to find an alternative to mix them with. I'm thinking rice milk or plain old water and oats for slow release.

I'm due a weigh in at the gym in 4 weeks so I'll update you.
