About Me

On 4 January 2010 I pledged to get slimmer, fitter and healthier. My journey has so far being bumpy, so bumpy in fact that I derailed in March, got back on track in June and have now just completed my first 12 week programme of working out and eating healthily. I have so far lost 9 pounds and am steadily working towards my goal to lose the grand total of 21 pounds. However, a strange thing happened during the 12 week programme: I started enjoying working out. I realised that I actually love to sweat and I am pretty good at it! I kick @ss in the gym and I check myself out in the mirror while I work. Oh yes, I am a warrior, waging war against each and every excess pound!

Week 5 weigh in

This morning I had the full-on "legs like jelly and I'm so worked out I can't get my sports bra off and into the shower" experience. The spin instructor was just mad today - she yelled and pushed and yelled and push us some more! It was a new routine with different music and every part of me felt it. A lady next to me said her heart rate monitor read 469 calories after the 45 minute session! Now that's what I call a Monday morning work out!!!

Had my weigh in today. As usual, felt a bit scared, particularly after the odd sweet here and there and fish and chips on saturday. The good news is that I've lost 2 pounds! I'm pretty pleased as it means I have now hit the 10 stone mark and if I keep up the good work I will be under 10 stone at my next weigh in (which I haven't been for an absolute age!).

By the way, it's week 5 - how on earth did I get to week 5?!! Lovin' it.
