Day 87 - A Little Blue

Feeling a little under the weather at the moment guys.

The doctor has signed me off work for at least a week to hopefully get me feeling back to my normal self.

I'll still be doing my updates on food and exercise, and my weekly weigh ins, just not much else going on in my life right now!

Day 86 - Week 12 Weigh In

And it is that time yet again!

I have eaten well this week, and been in three walks, including a little jogging! I did my abs workout once, so I need to up that for next week.

The results this week are...

Start Weight: 13st 10lbs

Last Weeks Weight: 13st 3.4lbs

This Week: 13st 2.8lbs

The half pound is off! I have now lost half a stone, finally! It has taken me a while to get to this point, but for me it is all about keeping it off so I'm happy as long as I get there!

Measurements -

Arms - 29cm
Chest - 101cm. Lost 1cm!
Waist - 85cm
Hips - 114cm. Lost 1cm!
Thigh - 62cm. Lost 1cm!

All the walks I've been on are working, and shifting the weight from where they its not wanted!

This week I'm going to keep up the walking and aim for some more weight to shift.

Fingers crossed!

Day 85 - Update

Not much to report today guys, food is healthy and went for another walk this evening!

Be back tomorrow for Week 12 Weigh In, yikes!

Day 84 - Housewife

Don't you just love chores? Once one is done, another three appear!

Last night I spent my evening catching up on all house related chores, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, hoovering, even cleaning out our cutlery draw. I don't understand how things can get so messy! So I managed to get those jobs done, but I have come home from work today and looked around and found atleast four if not five more jobs to do! Urgh, when will it ever end?!

I try to assign different chores for different days, to make it feel less daunting when they need doing, but then on the other hand it always feels like I am cleaning something! What routine do you go by, all at once, or piece by piece? Let me know any tips you have too, I'm always on the look out for some new cleaning tips!

As I had some many chores to catch up on aswell as cooking tea and fitting in a little down time, I didn't do any exercise. Well, if you don't count scrubbing the bathroom within an inch of its life then I didn't!

We then had a burger each for tea, no bread!, with salad and corn on the cob. Very tasty, and pretty healthy! I also made a little homemade coleslaw to go with my tea, and I have to say it was delicious!

All I did was chop up a little white cabbage, grate a carrot and chop up one spring onion and then mixed in some light mayonnaise. I didn't have any Dijon mustard otherwise that would've gone in too, but it was tasty all the same!

Hope your all having a fab week.
