Weight loss update

So today another weight and measurement day. I have now lost 25.4 lbs. When I started, I expected to lose more each week but the truth is that I haven't exercised much for the last few weeks. My diet is still going ok, yesterday I had my first "sweet" since I've started. It felt really good to reward myself with a treat. I am really getting used to not eating junk, to eat much smaller portions and not skipping breakfast. These are the inches I have lost till now:
         
                     Bust: 1.53"                        
                    Waist: 1.13"                          
                    Hips: 2.37"
                    Tights: 1.13"
                    Calves: 0.78"

      

Quick update

So today was weighting day again. I've only lost 2.2 lbs these two weeks but I am not surprised. As I said the other day, I haven't exercised so I was expecting these results.
I've been finding it really hard. Have loads and loads of stuff to study, work to do, kids to look after, house to clean ... god I feel tired already :). It's said that if you really want, you allways find time to exercise. It is probably true but honestly, when you have so many important things to do, things which can't wait a day or two, can you really give priority to exercising? If I have 30 minutes free during an entire day, I just don't feel like spending them exercising. I wish days were longer!...

Diet going well but ... exercise?!

Ok, so my diet is still going very well. I'm very pleased that I still resist chocolate and cakes (haven't had any for two months)or the carbs after 4pm but in the past two weeks I haven't exercised at all! I know it's shocking, I mean, I do all the stuff such as walking to college, clean the house, ironing, etc, but that's far from enough.
When I increased the duration and resistance of my exercises, It was hard but it made me feel a lot better. It was a big mistake to have stopped. I don't know why I did... but I've promised myself that tomorrow I will start the exercises again, no excuses. This time I will increase the frequency as well so I will have to exercise at least five times a week. I'm still losing weight because I'm dieting but I feel the need to burn more calories and I definitely need more energy.

Update on my weight loss

Today was another weight check day. I have to say that I am quite happy with the results. I've lost another 4.5 lbs so that's 16.6 lbs since I begun. I'm finally getting used to this diet, I find it a lot easier now not to eat carbs after 16:00. I always wondered how long I would managed without eating chocolate and cakes but guess what, I am and although I still feel like eating some now and then, I just don't, I feel a lot stronger now to say no when I need to. 
I am also exercising more. I've increased the duration and resistance of the exercises and I really feel it working. I really makes a big difference. If you get your heart pumping while exercising, you will know you're doing it right.

Untill now I have lost 16.6 lbs and:
    Waist - 0.74"
    Hips - 1.19"
    Tighs - 1.13"
    Calves - 0.78"

I have to say I am quite happy. I am not expecting to lose pounds or inches too quickly so I am very pleased with these results, after all it has been 6 weeks so not bad at all uh? :)

I won't do it again

So yesterday I wasn't feeling very well. For the past 10 days I have been quite busy setting up this blog, studying for my assessments and looking after the house and the kids, so i haven't exercised at all and yesterday and before yesterday i only had three meals all day. Because those main meals were low calorie and I didn't exercise I was feeling really tired, feeling guilty for not following with my plans...I was feeling rubbish really. But today when I woke up I decided that it was the first and last time that I would do it. It's unbelievable the effect that physical activity has on your body and mind, even if is just 15 minutes a day, I felt a big difference. Also not eating enough, I started having cravings towards the end of the day...I'm glad I've managed to resist them and control myself. 
Today I am back on track, had my cereals and fruit at breakfast and fruit at the morning snack. At lunch I had 150grs of Quorn meatballs (Quorn stuff is great for dieting, very high in protein and very low in calories), 100grs of spaghetti and a huge portion of lettuce and cucumber salad. Am feeling a lot better now. 
Today I am going to start the exercises shown on the fitness page. I will keep you up to date with the progress.
