It's been an interesting week. I've been meticulous with my point counting, but I've dipped into my weekly allowance a little each day. I clearly got away with it, but last night was tricky and we ended up going about ten points over. The lesson learnt is to not use up all my weekly before the end of the week, especially as the end of the week is a Saturday. I'm having a gentle day today and will be well under to make up for it, but that's not really the point.
I've been increasing my exercise alot more lately too. I never use (eat) the points I make doing activities but I earned 22 points extra last week by walking fast for an hour a day, 5 days a week. That plus a two hour walk and 1 hour bike ride at the weekend is making heaps of difference I'm sure. It's fun and the weather certainly helps!
I went to see my best friend, Kelly and my Daddy Pops on Friday and both of them commented on how good I look. Neither of them have seen me for a few months and I'm chuffed that it's noticeable already. I feel good too. I mean again, I'm still huge but I'm 1 stone 3lbs smaller than I was three months ago so that can only be a good thing! In fact according to an old spreadsheet we found the other day I'm only 4lbs off the weight I was when I got married, 2.5 years ago.
I've told Neil we mustn't look back on our wedding pictures and be disgusted at how fat we were. Despite my girth I felt like the most beautiful girl on the planet that day and will never look back on it with any bad thoughts. Neil feels the same (although I think he meant handsome boy, not beautiful girl ;o)
Speaking of Neil he's doing really well too. His starting weight was 15 stone 10lbs and he's now 13 10lbs, so he's lost two stone! He looks gorgeous, but then I would say that!
Anyway, I'm off out on my bike with my boys now. I wonder if anymore small children will exclaim at the sheer size of me on my bike? Bothered?
;o)
