Week 2 result and week 3 planning

Hey guys!

Sorry ive been a bit quiet but this weekend has been really busy and I feel like I havent stopped!
Firstly im happy to report a 1lb loss which is bringing my total loss to 6lb in 2 weeks! Im over the moon and its really given me a boost to keep going. I havent felt this motivated in a long time and I really feel motivated.
This week is going well so far and my exercise will be as follows-

● Tuesday- rest day
● Wednesday- gym session
● Thursday- Aquafit
● Friday- Bodycombat

So hopefully another loss is on the cards this saturday and I will finally get my half a stone loss. I didnt do any exercise last week so I think that may be why ive only lost a lb but im happy with any loss as long as the numbers go down.
Heres to another good week and I will report back tomorrow!

Until tomorrow xxx

Week 2!

Hey guys!!

Well week 2 is going well and im still going strong! Ive been within my syns limits all week and have finished today off with a total of 12 syns.
Tomorrow im planning on only 8 syns and im off to Aquafit at the gym tomorrow evening!
Ive tried a new recipe this week, Slimming world diet coke chicken. Doesnt sound nice but it tastes amazing! Its basically chicken with any superfree or free veg (I used an onion, spring onions, a pepper, 3 grated carrots and kidney beans), in a pan a cooked, sprinkled with an oxo cube, then mix 6 tbsps on passata with a whole can of Diet Coke, pour over the chicken and veg and add a dash of worchester sauce.  Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 30 minutes until it thickens and reduces! Beautiful! 
Im feeling positive for another loss this week and im hoping to have got my half a stone loss!
So bring on tomorrows class and onwards with the week!

My first week back!!

Hey guys!!

Well after my first week being 100% back on plan and sticking to it religiously im pleased to report.....a 5lb loss!!
I cant believe it and im so excited to see what the coming week will bring. To lose nearly half a stone in week has really given me a boost and im really motivated to get that half a stone loss by next week.
Im feeling like im really on a roll again and I know I can do this!
I finally faced my fear and went to Bodycombat class last night, I will admit ive never sweat so much in an hour exercise class but I loved every sweaty minute of it and I called the gym this morning and got onto the list for Mondays class too! Every part of me aches today I love that feeling as it means you've worked your body and done something good.
So heres to another good week next week!
Until tomorrow xxx

Onwards and upwards

Hey guys!

Today has been another fab day and only 12 syns comsumed!
Breakfast was Branflakes (HeB) with milk (HeA).
I then had 2 malted milk biscuits (4 syns) at 10am with my morning cuppa followed by an apple at 12.
Lunch was beans on toast (8 syns for 2 pieces of brown bread).
Dinner was an onion omlette with some Slimming world chips and some tinned tomatoes. Bit of a mixture but completely syn free and soo filling!
The best part about this is that I dont feel hungry at all and certainly not deprived. I fancied a biscuit today and I had them and still came in 3 syns under for the day!
The next couple of days ive got exercising planned. Tomorrow is Aquafit class after work and then Friday im heading to the dreaded Bodycombat class. Im soo nervous but I know I'll push through and im hoping this will definitely make sure I get a good result when I weigh in on Sunday morning.

Until tomorrow guys xxx

What a feeling!

Hey guys!

Well today is "day 3" and im pleased to report that once again im within my syns limits with 14.5 syns, only just in but in all the same!
Im feeling really good and my motivation is still raring! Im off for a gym session tomorrow night which im actually looking forward to for a change.
Only 3 days in and im feeling the rewards of being back on a healthy diet after eating junk last week. My skin seems clearer already and I have soo much more energy then Ive had in a long time and im even sleeping better! Whats not to like?!!
Admittedly I know ive been here before and I know its the weekend when im going to struggle and weaken as thats my pattern that always happens but im determined that it wont this week and have been planning what meals I'll be cooking so that I dont go off of the rails and stay on track.
This is about breaking all of these bad habits that ive been slipping back into and staying in the mindset that I have at the moment and have had before when ive lost 2-3st and I need to carry it on this time to reach my goal and become who I want to be!
At the moment im taking it a meal at a time and a day at a time to shed this weight pound by pound.

Until tomorrow xxx

Inspiring Thinspiration

Hey guys!

Well its back to basics and today has been a success! Stayed within my syns limits and even said no to the biscuit tin at work which doesnt sound like alot but iys a sign that my motivation has come back and im raring to go!
With all the inspirational weightloss journey books and tv programmes ive been watching lately (see previous post) I got thinking about how people have overcome their weightloss demons to lose more weight than I have.
Theres a lady I follow on Facebook who has lost an amazing 19st and still has more to go and on The Biggest Loser there are people that start of weighing 4-500lbs and they do it!
I have about 8 stone to lose to get to my ultimate target and thats nothing compared to what these guys have lost and if they can do it, so can I. Its just going to take hardwork, dedication and to keep reminding myself thats its not going to happen overnight, its going to take time. I didnt get fat in a day and I need to remember that im not going to get slim in a day either.
Well thats my thought for the day and im hoping this feeling lasts.

Until tomorrow xxx

I can do this!!

Hey guys!

We today has been a better day and ive actually stayed within my limits! Yay!!
Im just sat watching "Obese: A year to save my life" for some Thinspiration and I want to become one of these amazing people who overcomes being fat and all of the demons that go with it. I want to be happy and healthy because I owe it to myself to be.
This weeks exercise plan is as follows:

● Monday- Gym session
● Tuesday- Aquafit
● Wednesday- Gym session
● Thursday- Aqua OR Bodyjam
● Friday- Bodycombat

Bodycombat is the class that im scared to try as ive seen it and its soo intense that I know im going to struggle but as the saying goes "no pain, no gain" and im just going to bit the bullet and go for it! You dont know until u try!
Another thing im doing is currently reading a book called Diary of of diet by Hannah Jones and reading about other peoples weightloss journeys. If they can do it then whats stopping me from doing exactly the same? The answer....ME!! Im the only thing stood in my own way and I wont be anymore!
Anyway thats enough from me today and I will report tomorrow!

Until then xxx

Dust yourself off and try again!

Hey guys!

Im going to hold my hands up and tell the truth, this week has been an epic failure!
I think ive had the whole "im on holiday from work" mentality and just gone off the rails! Im so disappointed in myself and im feeling really low today. At the moment I feel like the fat is winning and that no matter how much I battle, this could be a fight I wont win.
So im going to do the usual Michelle thing and fight back! As of tomorrow the junk food is going and it back to my syns and exercise! As easy as it would be to give up im seeing this as im just having a wobble at the moment and ive never been a quitter in anything and im not about to start now. If I want to be slim then I know I need to sort myself out and pull myself together and get healthy. I cant wish myself slim and its going to take blood (!), sweat and tears but it will be so worth it. I need to stop concentrating on how much ive got to lose as a whole and take a stone at a time so here we go again!

Until tomorrow, the first day (again) xxx

Failure is not an option!

Hey guys!

To be honest im having a real tough time at the moment. Im struggling in a way I never have before and its getting me down. I feel kind of.....lost.
Im absolutely fine during the week, I exercise, stick to my syns and everything goes well. Then the weekend happens and it all goes horribly wrong. Im usually really busy and find myself not eating alot on Saturday during the day and then having a big meal on saturday evening. Its almost as if in my head I think syns dont apply on weekends or something which is crazy!!
Well this week Im off work until next Monday and ive been sat planning my meals and exercise regime. Tomorrow will be Aquafit, wednesday is a rest day as im spending it with my bestie, Thursday I will be spending about 7-8 hours walking around Crufts with my in-laws and then Friday will be a gym session/Zumba class. Im even planning food for the weekend and I will stay with my syns limits!
The time has come to say enough, I cant continue being the fat person anymore and if I can break the weekend curse this week then I know there will be no stopping me. So heres to a new week and breaking habits!

Until tomorrow xxx
