Day 37 - Week 5 Weigh In

Well, the time has come again! I have been dreading today after a week of no exercise due to a broken toe, but here are the results!

Weight: 13st 6lbs.

No change here, I am happy with that though. In total I've lost four pounds in five weeks. Not what I would've liked, but it's going in the right direction and hopefully once I can start exercising it will start shifting again!

Measurements -
Arms - 29cm
Chest - 100cm
Waist - 86cm
Hips - 115cm
Thighs - 63cm

And my measurements are the same again too! I would love it if I'd lost a couple of pounds this week, and some cm's off, but you have to think realistically and I am quite happy with these results bearing in mind my cutest circumstances. The hard work you put it does show, and I can't wait to start putting the hard work in again soon!

This evening we went to my works summer party, and it was really good! There was dancers, casino tables and a live band, as well as a three course meal and DJ! It was a really good night, and great way to get to know my colleagues more. I've included a pic from the night, excuse the terrible red eye remover!

Today, we are off to a local carnival where a few pubs have bands playing. A lot of my friends will be out so I'm excited to see them!!

Day 36 - Baby Steps

Well guys, things seem to be improving! My toe is feeling loads better and I can (almost) walk without a limp, so hopefully I'm not far off jogging again!

I've been eating as healthily as I possibly can, but still have a bad feeling about this weeks weigh in. Not being able to burn off any of the calories I've eaten has been really tough, harder than I thought it would've been!

Food Diary -

Breakfast - Special K with semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - pasta with peppers and light mayonnaise
Dinner - mushroom omelette

Tomorrow is weigh day (argh!!!) so I'll be back then with the results!

Day 34 - Insanity!

Hey guys!

So, who has heard of insanity? Who has tried insanity? I am contemplating buying it once my toe heals. It is alot better today, so I am hoping everything will be back to normal by the end of the week. Not sure if it was actually a broken toe now by the speed of my recovery! It is still splinted up to the next toe just to help it heal better but hopefully that can come off soon!

Anyway, back to insanity! For those who have not heard of it, Insanity is a high cardio workout, which can be bought on DVD. It is a strict 60day workout plan, with each day being a different workout. I've read a lot about it and it looks very intense, but for some weird reason I still want to give it a go! What do you think? Do I need to get fitter first?

Wedding wise, I have been looking at more dresses! I know exactly what style I want now, and think I've found the one, but am just making my last few final checks to make sure I make the right decision! So I'm hopefully going to two more dress shops in the near future to put my mind at rest!

Food Diary -

Breakfast - Special K with semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - Spaghetti (yep- just tinned spaghetti!)
Tea - Pork chops with mash potato, peas, sweet corn and carrots. It was delish! Picture below.

Be back tomorrow with more tales :) x

Day 33 - Little by Little

Progress guys! My toe is feeling alot better today. I can put more pressure on my foot, and can walk a little better. I'm sure that doesn't sound much to you, but is very exciting for me!

I am hoping to be walking properly by the weekend, as I have two events to go to which I want to wear heels for! I might be stretching it a little too much for that, but that is my aim! I cannot wait to get moving properly again, and back to my jogging. I have a horrible feeling having this much time inbetween jogging is going to make me fall behind on my progress, and take longer to complete the route.

Food Diary -

Breakfast - Special K with semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - Cheese and salad sandwich on granary bread
Dinner - Half a sweet potato with mushrooms, onions, peppers with herbs, spices and passatta.

Below is a picture of my tea. There is a sweet potato hiding under there somewhere!

Hope your all having a good day.
