Back on it

So in the last few weeks. I have lost track but heres why.

I know its supposed to be no excuses but im still going to live my life instead of hating my healthy lifestyle because it stops me doing things

So

I have bought a house... we arewaiting for the solicitors to do their bits between themselves then we shall sign contracts :-) and move in to our very first home together.

Celebrated that my sister is expecting my neice or nephew :-) she found out she was pregnant a couple of weeks ago and is waiting for her first midwife appt.

Been on a bender weekend. One of my very close friends is getting married after something like 9 years of engagement.  So we went to Southampton for a whole weekend;  it involved fine food lots of cocktails (which are of course loaded with sugar). It also involved hung over breakfasts in the form of fried food :-/ no wonder I had a weight gain. It was a brilliant weekend I'll never forget but now I need to work my butt off.

But a  positive

I have started the 30 day shred again alongside going to the gym. Now when I first started the 30 day shred, I had to pause and catch my breath more than once and couldnt do one press up. Now I have muscled through it without stopping and can do the whole first set of press ups (note not quite all the second set I lose it there but try to keep going). So for now thats my NSV as its a marked improvement on a year ago.

This week marks the start of a new month and a new outlook on this as I have no night shifts which means more workout time :-)

Pics at the beginning and end will be shown soon.

Iwant to take this moment to thank all of my MFP'S as they are amazing and never judge my slow progress and weight gains but keep me motivated.

Heres some new pics of my weekend and workouts etc.

House :-)

We have found it!!! We have put in an offer and had it accepted :-)
As long as all goes well we will be the proud owners of our very own home together :-)
Weight loss blog so its enough of house stuff although im megaa excited.
I have been doing well going to the gym and even been out for a brief jog. Working today and then thursday friday I have both afternoons off so gym time :-)
I feel 'tighter' around my hips but my legs dont seem to be catching on that they are supposed to change too :-/
Im drinking plentybof water and doing enough walking so I dont know
But equally a good week what with the stress and excitment hopefully I am on for a good loss over the next few months xx

Gym buddy

So im doing ok with going back to the gym :-) but theres one thing that is really helping.

My gym bud

Amy :-) we have known eachother for years and years and lost touch recently through working lives etc etc. But we went out for a dinner catch up and decided to both kick eachothers butts into check by making gym dates.

Neither of us want to let the other one down so we meet at the aggreed time and workout together.

Its much better and easier to do when someone else is there with you.

So I want to thank Amy for being there :-)

Busy few days before another set of night shifts for me. Gym this morning then work this afternoon.
