This week was gearing up to be a good week. I was eating quite well and was continuing to do my walking. I still haven’t got that much other exercise in at the minute due to a variety of reasons (lack of time and injuries playing huge parts in this) but I feel good that I am least getting my walking in every day.
As the weekend hit I really began to crave chocolate and I really realised that meant just one thing, something that could affect my weight when I weighed in was on its way. Over the weekend I tried not to indulge but I did indulge in a couple of chocolate bars, going over my syns ever so slightly on both days.
On weigh in day yesterday I was so busy that I only had my breakfast (using my HEA and HEB) and a Twirl (using my syns) before time to weigh in rolled around. I was helping my consultant with both groups so had to be there 2 hours earlier than I normally would have been, hence the rushing around all day with school runs, errands etc and lack of time to eat or do any more exercise. I wasn’t feeling it at all, I was so sure I had put on despite being good for the majority of the week. Wearing my weigh in outfit, I stepped on the scales to…. a loss of 1.5lb.
I was so certain I was going to put on so a loss like this was especially good for me. It means I only need to lose half a pound to be back to where I was before my birthday and it means I am just 4lbs away from my stone. I even set 4lbs as my target for next week as I know that last month I managed to hit a 4lb loss around this time of the month too – the weeks Steve gets paid are my best for weight loss as its the massive food shop week where we literally stock up on speed and free foods and try to meal plan as much as possible.
This week is going to be difficult. It is both Steve and my mum’s birthdays on Thursday, we have a family party on Saturday, Valentines Day on Sunday and a family meal with my in laws at an Indian restaurant (late birthday meal for me and Steve) to contend with but I am confident that I can make the right choices and get some exercise in and hopefully see a big loss next week. Fingers crossed!
Well done, I am sure setting achievable goals means you can achieve them more easily. Good luck.
The loss of an ounce is the loss of the bounce. The loss of a pound sees the shrink of the round.
Every bit helps. Well done you. That’s a great loss this week xx
Well done on the loss this week and keep going – it will be such an achievement to hit the stone. I’m trying to get fitter but these dark, wet evenings make it hard to get the trainers on and jog round the block.
Big ell done on that loss and here is to a good week of food choices and really enjoying all that you have going on. Mich x
Well done Bex! That’s a great loss. x
well done with all you have achieved to date. Keep going. R
Well done on your weightloss! I joined Slimming World two weeks ago – have my second weigh in tomorrow. I am dreading it a bit as had a few too many pancakes today!
Well done lovely. Good luck for next week xx
Absolutely brilliant, see told you it would all balance out x
Well done! You are doing great! I am struggling with all the chocolate that is around at the moment.
Exactly it is so important to strike a balance between the two and I think you are doing just that! I hope that you reach your goals!
Well done on the loss this week, I don’t get weighed until the weekend but i’ll be so happy if I lose that x
Yay well done you! That’s so great! Keep it up – you’re such an inspiration xx
aw well done you, see you can do it x you just had to have faith
Weight loss isn’t easy but it seems like you are getting into the right habits. Good luck for this week but remember to enjoy yourself too
Well done on on the 1.5lbs! Someone at work is following slimming world. It seems to be the thing to do to lose weight. I’ve heard a lot of success stories!
This is awesome news. You seem super focused on your goals. That’s going to help a lot in the long run.
Great news Rebecca. Congrats again. Hope this continues. Good luck.
Well done! You are getting there. Be strong and if you slip up tomorrow is another day
Yay! Congratulations 😀 Today’s weigh in day for me too and I nearly didn’t bother as I pigged out last night and wasn’t expecting to see a loss, but I lost 1.3 lbs this last week. Keep up the good work!
Good luck for this week! 🙂 You’re doing really well xx
Don’t worry about this coming Valentine’s day. This will surely test you but I know you can do it just like you did this week.
Congrats!!! You never know what to expect really when you’re trying to lose weight. Sounds like you have a fun week ahead, hope it doesn’t interfere with your weight loss goals 🙂
Ah well done! Weight losses are even better when they are a surprise! Well done x
Well done! I love it when I have an unexpected loss, it feels great! Hope you have a good week x #weightlosswednesday
Good for you! – I absolutely hate walking haha
Great news! I love reading your weight loss posts, you are doing so well and it’s great to see you sticking to it and losing weight in a healthy way x
Well done you! Best of luck for next week too, 4lb is quite daunting but I’m sure you can do it x
that is amazing! you can definitely do it and could tell how motivated and positive you are even with a week like this week. At the same time, enjoy it too
I know what you mean about not feeling it, I doubt myself at every weigh in. I also have a weigh day outfit lol
Well done on your loss #weightlosswednesday
Well done on the weight loss! Slow and steady wins the race. 🙂 I’m thinking of starting Slimming World, is it worth the price?
Well done on your loss this week! I love surprises like that! I am totally with you though – I have always been a savoury fan over sweet but I have totally been craving chocolate recently. Your social life this last week sounds like it has been hectic, but hope you have enjoyed! Hope you are having a great week, thank you for linking up with #WeightLossWednesday and hope you can join in again this week! Sim xx
