I slipped this weekend. It was at the end of the night fri-sun night. Friday night I had the opportunity to go out but then my friend couldn’t get a sitter so it didn’t happen. I overate on fruit, feeling sorry for myself, but stopped before any damage was done. Saturday I just got hungry in the evening, not sure why and all motivation was out of the window. Sunday I spent all day in front of the computer because I started writing a new novel and then in the evening I was working on web design projects and I think my body got fustrated sat in front of the computer all day and with no exercise and I got fed up being hungry so I stuffed my face with too much healthy food. I probably averaged 2000 cals that day when I normally have between 1300-1600. Today I was up 3 pounds from my weigh in Friday. I know one of those pounds lost Friday was water weight so I’m only counting 2 pounds up really. But it’s no biggie, honestly.

Well, it might have been had I not gone to the gym today. I woke up this morning and I wasn’t that hungry (I never am if I overeat the night before) but I had breakfast about 10.30. I then had to get ready and go meet my gym instructor for a 6-week review and a new programme so I didn’t have time for lunch before I left. I had my meeting with her (results in a minute) and then did the new workout before leaving. I had to get someshampoo and body creme before heading home and then I had a sandwich when I got in. It is now 17.30 and I have eaten about 500 calories and have probably worked that away at the gym! I’ll lose those 2 pounds by tomorrow, probably.
So, I had my measurements done and I have lost 11.5 inches from my entire body in the last six weeks. I’ll put my exact measurements up on my stats page in a moment. I am so happy! I was saying to Betz this morning that I was worried I won’t have lost any inches and it’s all in my imagination, LOL.

My instructor was really impressed when she saw my weight and then even more so when she saw the inches. She kept saying that she was proud of me over and over. She is so sweet - and has the body that I want! haha

I got an updated workout too, which is better for me now my body is used to the old one.

So that works brilliantly. I actually went on the toning tables today. I wasn’t expecting much from them but actually they were really good for my flexibility. They made my legs walk back and forwards even though I was laid down! I really felt a nice stretch at the top of the back of my thighs. Afterwards, when I did my actual stretches on that stretch where you hold you leg behind you; today was the first time I could hold my leg! Before today I couldn’t reach it at all, and while I held the shoe rather than the leg itself, it is still a major accomplishment in myself.

Don’t forget to check out my measurements on the stats page!
