Hi,
Sorry for the lack of updates (she says to nobody reading!!) but I've had a week away with J which was much needed!
Came back to a 3.5lb gain which was definitely not much needed but hey ho! Got straight back on the healthy eating and gym routine this week and hoping to see that gone next Weds!
Signed up to the body coach 90 day plan which I'm super excited about and plan to blog throughout my journey. Will probably start beginning of March once I get my plan sent back from him and get organised!
Some great results on Twitter and online plus what he says really makes sense! I've made a lot of changes over the recent 21 day plan I did so this is just to take it a bit further!
J seems perplexed why I keep 'throwing money at this' when essentially I know the basics and what I should and shouldnt do food and exercise wise but there is always room for improvement, to learn more and the bottom line is I work better in a controlled environemnt with online support!
Going to give it my all for the 3 months and hopefully emerge into summer a fitter, stronger, thinner, healthier version of myself! Thats the plan anyway!
Hope you are all well and I'll update you on my hopeful loss next Weds xx

Weigh in week 5 and last week of plan!
Morning,
Another 1.5lbs off this morning bringing me down to 144.5 and bodyfat down to 33.9%. All going well! Only another 2 days left on this plan - looking forward to relaxing a bit this weekend and then need to decide what I'm going to do going forward.
I definitely work better when I have a structured plan to stick to so I'll need to find something with guidelines! As mentioned before I may just repeat the last 21 days or I'm still reading up on Whole 30 which I'm still keen to do.
I want to get back into the 9's so another 5 and a half pounds to go for that - ideally by the end of February but I think that might be pushing it as I have a weekend away with J for Valentines weekend.
Want to be 135lbs for end of March which is definitely doable - 9.5lbs in 7 weeks is just over a pound a week so I'm going to focus on that.
If anyone has any tips or has done whole 30 please give me some advice or point me in the right direction!
Thanks

Weekly Weigh in
Morning,
146lbs on the scales this morning which is another pound off - body fat also down from 35.1 to 34.2 which is all good!!
Struggling a bit with creativity for allowed food - only so much grilled chicken and green veg I can eat! But still no caffeine, sugar, dairy or wheat along with changing my exercise regime to a lot more body weight exercises - burpees, lunges, mountain climbers as well as weights def feeling a change in my body shape and my clothes are definitely looser!
10 days left on this particular plan then I need to maintain it going forward! May just repeat the last 21 days or I'm still interested in whole 30 but think I need a lot more info before comitting to that (you saw how succesful that was last time!!)
Busy week at work so thats all for today : )

Weigh in Week 3
Looks like this nutrition plan knows what its talking about - 3lbs off this morning so back to 10'7 - still a long way off where I want to be and technically there should be no weighing until the 21 days are up but I wanted to stick to my weekly weigh ins!
And if anyone is counting thats half a stone off since Christmas : ) Other benefits of this plan so far are improved sleep and clothes feeling a lot looser, I think im going to be surprised at the inches lost at the end of this as well as the weight!
Its taking some organisation to prep all meals and stick to macros as well as fitting in daily workouts but I'm sticking with it - never thought I'd manage no dairy, sugar, wheat or caffeine but I'm not hungry in the slightest!
Got a busy couple of days and weekend ahead but determined to keep on track!
Enjoy the rest of your week and I'll be back over the weekend : )

Days 1 - 3
Happy Monday Peeps, hope you all had a great weekend : )
As mentioned in my previous post, I've recently started a new 21 day nutrition and training programme. Took measurements and photos on Friday night - that was not pretty!
I'm now 3 days in and apart from some caffeine withdrawals I feel great - 3 meals a day all protein, some carbs, greens and healthy fats along with scheduled work outs and lots of water and supplements.
Its taking a bit of organisation and time management to make time for the workouts and to prepare the food but its definitely been worth it - looking forward to stepping on the scales on Wednesday!
Hope all your plans are going well : )

Getting back on track and new plans!
Happy Wednesday people : )
This morning's weigh in showed a 1lb gain - meh! Fluctuations or just not sticking to plan I dont know but still 4lbs down in 2 weeks so I'll take that!
Moral of story is must try harder!
I'm starting a new 21 day plan on Saturday which has daily workouts and food plans etc plus supplements and basically guiding me for 21 days so I'm looking forward to that - bit nervous of the no sugar, caffeine etc but I'm determined to do it to the letter.
Doing body measurements on Friday so I'll post them here and will be posting more over the 21 days to keep myself on track as well as my usual Wednesday weigh ins - although I think they're frowned upon during the programme but I'll probably still check in!
And thats all, just heading out to a spinning class - hope you're all having a great week and your resolutions are in full swing!

Weigh in Week 1
Morning,
Just a quick post to give you a weigh in update.
Last Wednesday I was 11st and 35.3% bodyfat.
This morning despite only really starting on Monday I am 10st 9 and 34.8% bodyfat.
So 5lbs down and 0.5% down on bodyfat. Pretty much the same as first weigh in last year - first week is always a big loss due to how much I ate over Christmas - on quickly off quickly - its the rest I'll struggle with.
Monday and Tuesday this week I've had no sugar and have been completely clean - eggs and avocado for breakfast, salmon and veg for lunch etc, lots of water and a gym session each day - both burning over 500 cals each time.
I'd now be happy with around 1-2lbs weight loss a week!
Lets hope this week is as succesful. Best of luck with whatever your New Year goals are : )
