45 Days To Go

I had an absolutely draining day today.  I didn't get my run done yesterday and it's not going to get done today, either.  Still, with my potentially dangerous two days over, I only gained 0.3 lbs!!  I'm very pleased with that.  I expect to have a slight gain tomorrow after today's food but then I'll be back to normal and back to weight loss and fitness gain  :)

46 Days To Go

I have a potentially bad two days ahead of me, in terms of eating sensibly and getting enough exercise.  These are two intense work days with business lunches and evening meals.  I'm hoping the stress will burn up the extra calories!  I have a 4 mile run scheduled for later, so that will burn up some, too.

I gained 0.1 lb since yesterday.  I think I can live with that!  I need my hair cutting soon, so that might balance out that little bit  ha-ha!

47 Days To Go and a Happy Day

I'm getting tired of not getting stats from my OH fast enough, so I've decided to run this show myself.  I looked at all the pics I'd taken of my weight and got all the stats on a spreadsheet.  First of all, I'm absolutely devastated about how much I weigh.  I haven't weighed this much since I was 9 months pregnant with my eldest!!  Anyway, the good news is that I've lost 4.2lbs over the last 5 days  :)  Obviously some more fat has turned into muscle, so the total fat I've lost will be more.  I'm thrilled!!  I also feel much more in control of things now and that makes me feel far more powerful over my weight loss and fitness.  This is a happy day!  :)

I'm off now to my gym to get some serious working out done.  Catch you later!

3.37pm  Just finished my workout.  thoroughly enjoyed every second.  I felt so motivated and pumped with energy.  I could've done so much more but I know the dangers of too much too soon and, besides, I have a 4 mile run tomorrow!  I'm loving today!

48 Days To Go and a Great Weight Loss So Far!

I am so sorry that I've missed a few days out here.  The reason is that my OH is away and so I've not been able to monitor my weight.  For those who are new to my blog and haven't read the previous ones, my other half is weighing me every day but, because I'm so overweight, he isn't telling me how much I weigh.  What he does tell me is how much I have gained or lost, so that I have an idea whether I'm on track or not.  Since he's not here, I can't do that.  However, this morning I had the idea of weighing myself and taking a picture of the scales, without actually looking at them.  Then I sent him the pic and he sent me the result.....and what a result it is.  I've now lost a total of 5.9lbs in 3 weeks!!!  I'm so happy  :)  I know that I've actually lost more in terms of fat, as I'm doing so much more exercise and, therefore, turning fat into muscle which, as we all know, weighs heavier than fat.

Anyway, I can  really feel a difference, too.  My clothes are getting looser and my boobs, which is the whole point of this, are becoming less 'full'.  I'm really pleased with how things are going and hope that I might be giving some inspiration to someone else out there.  If I'm giving YOU inspiration, let me know!

So, today I have a 3 mile run planned for later and I might try to fit some hill walking in on my treadmill, too.

4.26pm  I've just been sunbathing in the garden and this has made me think more about my breast reduction.  No longer will my boobs try to hide under my arm pits when I lay on my back!  And I'll be able to sunbathe topless without ending up with a white patch where my boobs hang down!!  I really can't wait to get this done.  There are just so many positive aspects to it.

53 Days To Go

Horrified!!!!  I went out last night for a meal and ate too much.  This morning I've gained 2 lbs!!  I am so angry with myself for being so stupid.  Today will be dedicated to exercise to get rid of this weight.  I know some of you will be saying that it doesn't matter because it will come off again and I should only really weigh myself once a week but I just can't think like that.  I have to know what's going on all the time.  If I got to the end of the week and had put 2 lbs on I'd be angry for not knowing mid week and having the chance to do something about it.  By getting weighed every day, I can do something immediately to correct any errors.  It's just the way I work.

Anyway, I have a 4 mile run planned for later, which will be interesting as it's throwing it down with rain.  At least it's not freezing cold, too!

54 Days To Go

No difference in my weight today.  It's not surprising, given the amount I ate last night!  I suppose I'm lucky I didn't actually gain anything!!

It a lovely cool day here today, so I'm not suffering too much with sweaty breasts!  I will be later, though, as I have to try to run 3 miles.

I'm feeling a bit disappointed that no one is following my blog yet so, if you read this, please follow me!  And leave me a comment.  Tell me how to make it more interetsing.  This is my first ever blog, so I don't really know what people expect.  Let me know   :)

Gained 0.1 lb this morning.  I can live with that  :)  I'm definitely feeling better about myself, though, and have much less weight on my chest already.  The surgeon's job will be a little easier!

56 Days To Go and 2 Weeks on My Diet

I am ecstatic!!!  Over night I've lost 1.2 lbs, making a total loss over 2 weeks of 5.2 lbs!!!  I couldn't be happier.  I can really feel this, too.  I feel lighter, slimmer and more energetic.  My breasts are feeling 'emptier', which is fantastic!  Less work for the surgeon and I may be able to do away with needing liposuction  :)  I'm thrilled with my new scales, too.  They give me so much information.

I have a 3 mile run planned for later and may try to get some rowing in, too.

5.25pm Really not feeling great at the moment.  I feel like I'm fighting a cold.  What with that and having to go out for a meal this evening, it's going to be tough not to comfort eat!  However, I'm going to keep myself focussed and not give in to temptation.  I'm doing really well so far and  don't want to let myself down.

No exercise today.  Well, a short run and that was it.  I feel too poorly  :(  I need my bed.

So, I bought some new scales.  I got some Weight Watchers ones that also measure my Body Fat, BMI, Body Water and Bone Mass.  Fab stats for a Stats Geek!  And, some good news.  My OH just got weighed on both scales and there's only 0.2 lbs difference between them.  So, although my weight loss has been static and then a big loss from yesterday, that is in fact almost right!  Phew, I was worried the new scales would say I weight more than I thought!!

Very disappointed today.  My weight is exactly the same.  Either I need to step up my game or buy some new scales!  As it is, I'm going to do both.  Something has to be wrong somewhere.  I've definitely lost in terms of measurements for my chest, waist, hips etc., though.  Anyway, new scales and a bigger push on the diet and exercise front from now on!
