Stretch marks

Tuesday was my 5th session of laser treatment on my stretch marks and I have to admit the most painfully by far. The results are really starting to show. Looking back at photos I have taken prior to the treatment there is a huge improvement. The marks on my back are almost non existent at this stage that the only way to notice them would be looking up really close. The area around my stomach which would have been worse to begin with is great. In a certain light I almost forget that they are there but still in some bright light I can see them straight away. The texture of my skin is the best improvement as the area is much smoother in comparison to the way it was prior to treatment.
I have 1 more session left in July and I am hoping that this treatment will start to work its magic a little faster than previous times and after all sessions are finished that I will be happy with the final results and glad I got the treatment done. I have been keeping a collection of photos taken so hopefully when treatments are finished the results should speak for themselves.

Weigh Day!!




Thursday was Weigh Day and I am more than pleased to say that I have lost 1 & 1/2 lbs this week. I was really good eating wise swapping sandwiches to prawn cocktail and ryvitas for lunch. I felt a lot less bloated everyday also.





 I turned up for Boot camp Monday only to find out that it was cancelled again as no one else turned up. I went for a great jog on Sunday afternoon and also went to the gym and swimming Wednesday evening. I walked to work everyday and walked home which would have helped a lot also.














I now have only 4 & 1/2 lbs left to lose to reaching my goal weight. I am going to try my hardest this weekend. Altough it is a long weekend and I am going away for a couple of nights with the family I will do my best not to overindulge too much on eating out and drinking alcohol and I will make sure to dance if I am out to burn some extra calories.




I want a loss everyweek at the scales from now until I reach my goal. Like I said previous a loss of 1 lb a week is fantastic so this week was a bonus that I am more than pleased about. Summer is almost here and I know the weather may not show it much but I am still keeping focused. The prospect of reaching goal is so motivating for me that I am going to make sure that I reach it as soon as I can.
