The things keeping me going

Well, the motivation is still riding high and I'm still enjoying the plan. Normally by now I'm beginning to wain and bit and cheats and treats are beginning to sneak in.

So the things that are keeping me going are

1. I need life insurance. Unless I get the weight off my premiums are going to be astronomical

2. We have a trip to Centre Parcs in the summer which means me in a swimsuit. I'd rather Greenpeace weren't called !

3. I want to be buying my first pair of "off the shelf" boots next winter. Nothing fancy, just some knee high boots like most normal people buy every year. Sadly my rugby player calves have never let me do this.

4. My fear of heart disease.

So, thats enough to be going on with I think !

Week 1 weigh in

Ok so this happened on Saturday and I'm a little late posting this but.....

4lbs off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm rather chuffed about this if you can't tell ! I didn't find the week easy but things I did that worked were

1) Point EVERYTHING
2) Eat all my weekly points
3) Drink 1.5-2l of water a day
4) Did 3 lots of exercise
5) Kept visualising my goal

I've now lost 15lbs and I've got my first stone and my 5% goal. Part of this was about goal setting and more of this to come. I'm not expecting a loss like this every week but it's given me a good kick start really and the confidence that I can do it.
