Half-term not half -fat!

Hi everybody,

Sorry this is overdue. Half term was lovely. The weather was great, it was my daughters birthday and we visited lots of relatives. So far so good.

In the process I ate four slices of cake, some low-fat ice cream white bread, a sausage, rice and potato salads with dressing, some creamy chicken and a roast dinner. Other than that I stuck to the usual salads, fruits and porridge which I have been attempting to change to.

That was food wise, drink wise I didn't have enough water, I drunk a good deal more coffee than of late and I also consumed 2 glasses of punch, 8 glasses of wine and three glasses of port.

All-in-all while it wasn't guilt free I did avoid many of the naughties I could have had. I also continued with my usual exercise routine.

Because of my guilt on Thursday when I got back from my Mum's I jumped on the scales. I'm not sure that this was a good idea as I had put on two pounds. By Sunday I had lost this again so overall it wasn't too bad but I'm sure glad that there aren't too many half-terms. What will I do in the summer holidays!

Have a great week,

Kim

Week 1 weigh-in

Hi,

This morning was my weigh-in after my first week of dieting. I must admit to feeling a tad nervous as it hadn't occurred to me, until I stood on the Wii Fit board, that people would be looking at my weight losses each week.....not just that first time.

It would be a touch anti-climactic and somewhat embarrassing if I didn't lose anything. Thankfully I did & hope to put up vlog tomorrow as I'm feeling tired now, having spent a lovely day with the children at Richmond Park. I lost 4 lbs....yippee!!!

Somebody asked me about exercise which is a very valid point. I am planning on exercising but am breaking myself in gently. Up until September last I had been using the gym regularly but sprained my ankle & got out of the habit. Since then I've really only walked & swam. Plan to add some fitness videos & graduate to power walking over the next fortnight.

Congratulations to my sister-in-law in Illinois, USA, who has shed 70 lbs so far. It is really inspirational to see that it can be done.

Wishing you the best of health,

Kim.

My video debut .......

Roll out the red carpet! It took a while but is finally up. This is not going to be a proper post because, like yesterday, I'm going to be helping my friend to decorate her flat. I'll hopefully burn some calories in the process but it wont help much if I collapse with a beer after like I did yesterday.... oops.

I just wanted to let you know that that I've posted the video and will add it to the blog when I've reformatted it....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wfuwLoL7ks

Have a great day in this fabulous weather,

Kim
