Days off are for the gym

So I get a day off :-) and I spend the good portion of the day having a lie in then getting up to go to the gym :-)

Over the past few weeks my weight hasnt changed. I've stayed at 15st 9lbs. I havnt really concentrated on my food as well as I could and I haven't been able to exercise as much; so I guess its ok for it to stay the same. But ive got holidays to prepare for weddings to go to and best of all but not weight related, a house to buy :-)

Today was a successful day at the gym. For the past few weeks I haven't really been able to do an awful lot or been able to run for more than 5 minutes or so.

Today however I cycled 5km and then ran for 30minutes on the treadmill :-) I was chuffed with myself :-)

I took a couple of restarting refocussing photos and have done really well with my shakes and food today :-).

This is my time!!!
Hen nights in March
Weddings April and May
Holiday July and September

Buying a house!!

Lots to look forward to :-)

New year

Hello all.

Its 2014 and heres a year in review and my targets for this year.

So in 2013 I made the decision to change my life for the better. I made the decision that this was the time... my time to change my weight. I had always tried and did well for a little while then it all went back on plus a little more. Well id set my sights on more this time.

As with many people my weight has fluctuated throughout the year but the general pattern is heading downwards. Well I have had two holidays  4 weddings birthday and christmas after all :p O and surgery.

As some people know I had sugery at the beginning of December.  It all went well and I am looking forward to getting back to work and hoping that the procedure has made a huge difference to the pains I was having. So far so good. I am approaching the stage of getting back to work and that brings with it night shifts and increase in steps :-)

So over the past year I have lost 23 lbs. The lowest I had got my weight down to was 14stone 12lbs. My aim is to get back there before the end of February. Then use the rest of the year to get that figure down and the figure I want :-)

I told myself id log into my fitness pal every day over the year. Which I did :-) I recieved 365 days in a row and am still going.

I feel proud of what I have achieved and know that its something that I love doing. Its a journey that has barely begun :-) I feel more comfortable in my skin and even took a sneaky picture in the middle of marks and spencers of my reflection.

Heres to the new year :-) and more gym work outs with my heart rate monitor :-P ♥♡
