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 : )

What a difference a year makes...
Unless you're lazy like me, lose all your willpower in the middle of the year and end 2013 at the same weight you started at (after losing nearly a stone in the first half!)
Oh well, onwards and downwards! No point in making excuses or banging on about it, just need to stick with it this time and if you get knocked down (not literally!) you've just got to get back up again!
So! As per usual fitness and weight loss are the key things for this year. Got some PT sessions booked in and I've signed up to Tough Mudder in the summer - there I said it, cant take it back now!!
Was 11stone when I weighed myself last Weds - oh how it pains me to write that down! I've been back on track as of yesterday so we'll see what I can achieve in 3 days!! A normal person would have started as soon as they saw that number on the scale but I decided to live out the rest of the holidays in a chocolate, couch induced coma!
Other resolutions then....
1 - Save Money.
2 - Stress less and be happier - I get wound up so easily and can end up in a bad mood over nothing, I choose to be happy so I'm letting go of all the little annoyances!
3 - Be kind and pay it forward. I do this anyway - I give to charity, pay compliments, buy coffee for the homeless guy on the way to work but I think we could all be a little bit kinder and nicer.
4 - Do more fun things - Its easy to get into the rut of work, gym, dinner, TV, bed but I want J and I to go visit more places and do things we haven't done before.
5 - Take a picture a day of something that makes me smile or happy - so far I have pics of my clean make up brushes lined up, my niece, J's cartoon socks, my dinner, a log fire etc - so nothing exciting but a bit of loveliness in the small things every day!
See you all on Wednesday for the Weigh in Results........!!!
