Sticking point!

We’ve all been there… Lost a few pounds, regained a few, trying to shift those extra one that snuck back on, well that’s where I am right now.

I know what I need to do to get back on track but have lost all motivation… Some please kick my butt!!!

I keep telling myself to look at where I was just over a year ago and where I am now…. Well see for yourself…

Time to Refocus

Hey guys, I’ve felt a little lost lately and been so consumed in work and life I’ve not been doing things for me. My weight is sticking, my body doesn’t feel great, confidence isn’t rocketing like it was… Time I got back in control…. A quick picture update for you guys! IMG_1880.JPGme today!

Falling off the wagon!

I’ve been very quiet of late as had rather a lot going on lately!! Pressures of work are getting to me, I’ve met a lovely new guy and life has generally been non-stop! As a result I’ve not been so strict on myself in terms of training and eating clean. Body, I am truly sorry!!I have been doing sessions of HIIT which I find fits in better with my life at the moment.

I promise this week I will get my ass in gear and train, I will find the time, no excuses from me and I will make good food choices! I went shoppig last weekend and bought a dress ready for my impending 30th Birthday Party…. I hope to share a picture with you all once the day arrives! There are currently 44 days to go…

In the meantime a quick update on my stats!

Bootcamp!!!

So I’ve been counting down the days until bootcamp… This one is a residential one for 4 days set in the very beautiful Northumberland in the north east of England run by Northern Bootcamp.

We haven’t been told what the itinerary is yet but am sure it will be amazing! I will be posting again after the weekend with pictures! I’m nervous but excited! I had a quick jump on the scales this morning but I’ll go with my “official” weigh in and measurements tomorrow!

I’ve read some reviews where people have lost lots of lbs on the week long camps but am sure I will get out of it what I put in which will be 100%!!

This is something a 21st 5lbs me would never have ever dreamed of doing!!

2st to go!!!

Only 99 days until I hit my 30th birthday!

Here’s the thing, after been away for a weekend visiting friends and not been able to go to the gym/excersise when trying to make healthy choices, I have faltered a little but am only human! I’ve chosen healthy and clean where I can I don’t enjoy eating crap anymore! It’s a mental challenge and lifestyle change that only I control. I’m so much happier with my physical appearance and my confidence is growing all the time. My tummy is even tightening up!!

This weeks loss is -2lbs am so happy even with a “small” result!

Weigh in night… Must read!!

I am feeling elated!!

I’ve now lost a whopping 3st 1lb (43lbs!!). I feel so proud of my achievement so far and how far I have come. I know it’s been my own fault I got so big BUT it’s only me that can change that, every pound of weight and every drop of sweat have been worth it and I am not stopping here!!

Here’s a pic update for you guys! My 19 inches have been lost from all over, not just one particular place. But it’s most noticeable on my belly. It’s made a huge difference to my posture too.

Seeing this picture encourages me, and reassures me that I can reach my target with hard work and dedication. I choose to be healthy and work hard. Just like I chose to be unhealthy and lazy!

I can do this… I am doing this…. I’m all over it!!!

1lb to go…

I cannot believe I’ve ALMOST lost 3st! I’m just 1lb away… I never thought this would be possible a few months ago but here we are! My goal at the start of the year is to get to 16.2st by my 30th Birthday at the end of June – the “lightest” I have ever been in my adult years. I still intend to reach this goal, but potentially sooner. Exciting times ahead!

Some of you ask how I keep track of my weight – I have the Withings Wi-fi scales which are electronic and send all my data to my iPhone. It’s a great piece of kit as you can set up multiple profiles for you and other family members. It logs your weight, fat mass and BMI. You can also set goals, which I set myself weekly. If you like your gadgets like me then I would highly recommend it! They have just changed the app that goes with it which isn’t as good as it used to be but the new display looks fancy.

My week entails some bumper gym sessions and hopefully an outdoor one at the weekend. Good luck this week guys! 20140306-081445.jpg

Picture update

I figured today’s post would be a picture update for you all to see the transformation that my body is making. So far I’ve lost 2st 7lbs (35lbs) and I’ve dropped 14″ from all over my body. This week I bought some new jeans, a skinny fit UK 20. This somewhat surprised me as I was in a UK 24 only 8 weeks ago!

The person looking back at me in the mirror is a determined, strong willed positive person with a new zest for life. I like who she has become!
