Losing my first stone.

Hello everybody,

It's been a lovely week with plenty going on and lots of fine weather. I was a bit naughty so I wasn't sure that I would lose this week, but I did!

Have been doing my sit-ups except I forgot yesterday. Oops. My waist is now 38 inches (I lost half an inch this week) which is an improvement though still pretty flabby.

I've kept up my fitness regime and am enjoying it which is great. I have done a little video and there is also one of me and the family at the Hare Krishna temple yesterday. Hope you enjoy them.

Toning up the abs.

Hi,

Just a quick blog today because I'm off out but thought I'd share something with you.
I've been told that it only take three lots of twelve sit ups (done as reps or spread throughout the day) to really improve your abs. So I'm trying it out.

I started Sunday with a waist measurement of thirty-eight and a half inches. I've lost two and a half inches without doing sit-ups but need to move it a pace before the summer hols to get into next size down (size 16).

I'll put my waist measurement on here for the next few weeks and we'll see how it goes.

I haven't done much running this week as I pulled something on Sunday (stretching as I woke up ... a fine way to get a sports injury!) so I rested it for a couple of days but today I got back on with it. It was great and I posted my second fastest time without pushing things too hard, it being my first day back.

Off to a cheese and wine party tonight so not sure how things will be for Sunday's weigh-in but I'll do my best to be virtuous!

One Lump or Two?

Hi,

Sorry not very good at getting on here sometimes! Apart from that though I am quite proud of myself. It was the school fair today and there was a barbecue and Indian food as well as Ice Cream and the inevitable cake stall. I avoided it ALL!

Yesterday I tried on some clothes which have been too tight. The jeans fitted perfectly, the trousers went on okay but were still rather tight but the dress, which I didn't expect to zip up slipped on fairly easily. Unfortunately looked all lumpy around my waist and bottom.

I decided it's time to do sit-ups. I have done some of course, and was intending to do more but somehow I didn't. Not now though. If it wasn't for those lumpy bits the dress and the trousers would be fine.

Today I had another bash at the HIIT training which I talked about the other day. This time I did more stretches because last time left me rather sore. I also thought that rather than walk in between I would jog. The pace is about the same but would mean I wouldn't cool down so much between repetitions. I also did more stretching after and did 100 sit ups.

Needless to say I ache!

Well, here are my diet diaries for the past few days. Something may get added to today but I'll let you know if it does.

Enjoy the weekend,

Kim
