Weigh Day!!

So Thursday was weigh day and as I stepped on the scales I was so sure that I would be down the 1lb that I had so desperately anticipated. I had done all my regular exercise like Zumba and spinning class. So when I was told that I had gained 2pound I was in utter shock!!

I still cannot understand where the gain has come from. It wasn't the time of the month and I hadn't eaten bread all week which would have usually bloated me. I was very annoyed with my body as I was so close to goal and now I have been knocked back 2 paces yet again!
I have gone back over everything I ate all week and it was very good foods with only 1 take away at the weekend - I didn't even have a drink.

All I can do is try harder for next week. Even though I don't think I can lose the full 3 lbs this week no matter how hard I try I will still stay positive and just try my best. That's all I can do at the end of the day.

I have signed up for a 3 week Bootcamp courtesy of livingsocial.com which is a website that offers discounts on a range of different things. I paid €24 for the 3 weeks and the classes are held outdoors for 5 evenings a week. Although I won't be attending the full week I am going to do 2 or 3 classes per week. I have exactly 6weeks to my holiday to Fuertaventura and I want to concentrate on toning more than anything at this stage. I am very happy with my shape and even though I am 3 lbs from goal I am still happy with my weight. I still have my ''jelly belly'' which I want toned and tight in time for the beach and the dreaded swim suit or 2 piece :-/
 I will have to start doing my stomach exercises at home again which I have been neglecting yet again for the past few weeks. I also just want to have my goal card by the time I go away in August so these next few weeks I will be trying my very best.

I am also doubting about attending my last session of laser treatment for my stretchmarks.
To be completely honest the treatment has not worked for me. At the beginning I could see results but at the moment after comparing with other friends that have also had babies mine seem the same as theirs. I don't know was it all just a scam and can stretch marks really be erased? I have learned to accept them and know to cover my body everyday with Bio oil or Baby oil the   next time I get pregnant to prevent further marks appearing.

Here's hoping for a loss on the scales this week.

Weigh Day!!

Yesterday was weigh day and I was trying hard all week to be down. I was very happy to hear that I lost 1 lb. This was the loss that I had been anticipating for weeks as I was given my 3rd silver 7 :)

I am really pleased and proud I earned it. I kept tracking all week and was especially good at the weekend, although I did go out Sunday night for the match and a few bevvies. I did stay well in my Pro Points.

I went to Zumba Tuesday and really pushed myself to the point where I was exhausted and really sweat out all the bad toxins of Sunday night.



Wednesday was spinning class again which I LOVE!! I had forgot that I wasn't getting paid until Friday and didn't think where I would get the money for spinning. So after getting ready for class after work I only realised at that point that I did not have money for the class and was gutted, so I just had a shower and dressed my bed instead. As my hair was still soaking I leaned down the side of the bed and found €10 staring up at me!!  It had to be a sign to go and exercise?!
I quickly got changed and ran out the door with just 10 Min's to spare until class started. I ran the whole way over which was a great bit of a warm up exercise before the 50 Min's of what I can only call the most excruciatingly painful spinning class ever!.. but well worth it :)

So as I stepped on the scales and got the result and my silver 7 I couldn't stop grinning. It's been a tough year and a slow process of losing weight but I wouldn't change a thing.
Just 1 more pound left to goal!!

Next week I will hopefully be writing my post as a  new woman that has reached my goal weight!!
Watch this space.....

Weigh Day!!

Just a quick post for last weeks weigh in as I didnt get a chance to post...

Thursday was weigh day and I am delighted to say that I was down 1/2 a lb. I had a really bad weekend with it being the Bank holiday and I went to Tramore.
 I really enjoyed it but was eating out a lot and although I was tracking I was still a bit concerned as I didn't have any home cooked meals. I went straight into exercise Monday night when I got back going to Zumba which was a great exercise, as always!

On Tuesday I took a break as I was exhausted from the weekend but continued eating healthy all week. I went to spinning on Wednesday which was something that I didn't do in years! It was really tough but I loved, I was sweating by the time it finished and felt like I had burned off (some) of the weekends overindulgence's!
I am now only 2 lbs  to goal and am soo pleased :)

Weigh Day!!

So Thursday was Weigh Day and i am extremely pleased to say that I have lost 1 & 1/2 lbs this week. I really wanted to get a good result after being up last week so I tried my very hardest.

Firstly as soon as I came out of class last Thursday I ate a weight watchers meal - lasagna which was filling and very tasty.



I pointed everything that week (even all the treats) . I went for a Chinese on Sunday with my family which was well within my 49 Pro Points. I also went to the cinema with my mam on Monday night and got a popcorn which is my vice :)!! So after both treats at the weekend I was still well on track.

I went to my Zumba class on Tuesday evening which had to be by far the best class and I know I might have said it before but with the heat and a packed room full of people and of course the 15 dances one after the other I was soaked to the skin with sweat. A great workout indeed!!

Wednesday night I did a spinning class for the first time in about 3 years. It was hard work and I have to admit I was ready to give up after 10 minutes into the class but I kept going and didn't stop. I was really pleased with myself when I finished and again was saturated with sweat.


So with both classes done I was satisfied that I had lost that lb I gained last week. I was very confident getting on the scales that I would have a loss of 1lb and so when I heard it was more it was just an extra added bonus.

Next week I will be doing just the same but I will be having a drink at the weekend( all within my 49 weeklies!! ) as I am away with family for the Bank Holiday weekend.
I hope all of you had a good week also, and enjoy the weekend :)

P.S only 2 & 1/2 lb left to go to goal!! eek!!...
