My Weight Loss Journey Week 5 of 2013

After last week I set off this week with renewed vigor and got 3 walks completed in the early part of the week! I was eating reasonably well … then disaster struck …. a nasty cold has taken hold of Joshua and I and we have been battling heavy achy limbs and far too much snot to cope with.

All I can say is thank god I had batch cooked teas for this week! I barley have any energy to wipe my nose never mind cook a healthy meal!

Hockey tonight is not looking promising due to the pounding head I have had for the last few days, brought on by this cold. However we will see if it clears later.

So my exercise targets for last week were:

• A minimum of 3 x 2 mile walks  (min 6 Miles)
• Attend both hockey training sessions (junior with Beth & ladies = 180 mins)
• No Hockey match … so just get my bum from the sofa!!

What exercise I actually completed this week:

• 2 x 2 miles – Walks
• 1 x 1 mile – Walk     – Total 5 miles
• 140 mins Hockey Training – Due to changing weigh in day it would count on next weeks exercise

So how did I do? 

– 0.5lbs

Total Weight Loss This Year:

7.5lbs

Total Loss (including last year)

4 Stone 7.5lbs

Next Week’s Exercise:

• A minimum of 3 x 2 mile walks (min 6 miles total)
• Attend both hockey training sessions (junior with Beth & ladies = 180 mins)
• Hockey Match Saturday so need to play the whole match!

Not a great week however once again any loss is great but 7.5lbs in a month is still overall pretty great!

My Weight Loss Journey Week 4 of 2013

After last week weight loss fail and my 0.7lbs increase I have to say I was more than a little deflated and spent until the weekend brooding!

Food wise the last 4 days have been back on track however while still brooding we did visit an all you can eat Chinese buffet! … probably not the wisest move!

I have also batch cooked all next weeks evening meals so there will be no excuse for eating pre processed frozen crap! I intend to try and cut down on my bread intake also next week. Although I am not a massive bread muncher last week while still sulking I did have a couple of days where I had quite a lot of bread.

So my exercise targets for last week were:

• A minimum of 3 x 2 mile walks … again!
• Attend both hockey training sessions (junior with Beth & ladies = 180 mins)
• No Hockey match … so just get my bum from the sofa!!

What exercise I actually completed this week:

• 1 x 2.2 miles – Walk
• 1x 1 mile – Walk
• 140 mins Hockey Training

Hockey Training I have to say was very hard this week since it was lashing it down with rain and it was beyond Baltic – hence the 40 cut short from my target!

Ok so not quite what I had wanted to achieve however if I had stopped sulking and got my finger out sooner this week I would of  hit my exercise targets! *mental note made – stop sulking*

So how did I do? 

-1 lbs, yep that’s right I have Lost!

Total Weight Loss This Year:

7lbs

Total Loss (including last year)

4 Stone 7lbs

Next Week’s Exercise:

• A minimum of 3 x 2 mile walks
• Attend both hockey training sessions (junior with Beth & ladies = 180 mins)
• No Hockey match on Saturday so get out for a long walk on Sunday

Having found the fab Kate from Naked Mum who is also on a weight loss journey I am linking up HERE so I can gain encouragement from others who are also on this long journey and also to spread some support to others.

Not the best week however a loss is still a loss and only I can turn it round next week!

My Weight Loss Journey Week 3 of 2013

After last year’s weight loss of 4 stone and my 2 previous weeks of successful weight loss I have felt rather elated over the whole thing .. yep strange I know!

Then the snow hit and it has continued to plague my fitness efforts this week by causing all Hockey training to be cancelled and has stopped me getting out walking properly with my pushchair.

Then to top it off I have now succumbed to Tonsillitis, although it has not completely taken hold like it has in the past, I have to say I am not feeling very sprightly. Needless to say I have not been as good as I should have been ……….

Ok I lied ….

I have eaten crap!

Firstly this fellow:

I am bad I know and I have no excuse, however this was the most amazing thing EVER!

• No Hockey match … so just get my bum from the sofa!!

So a big fat fail for me on the exercise front, so how have I done

+ 0.7lbs, yep that’s right I have gained

I am not going to stress over it but I am starting the next week how I mean to go on and praying that my husband does not bring home boxes of Jaffa cakes from work … again!!

Total Weight Loss This Year (minus my gain this week):

6lbs

Total Loss (including last year)

4 Stone 6lbs
