I'm keeping up with logging my meals to see my calorie intake, I will admit that I have the odd day that my calorie intake is in the red, but when that happens I make sure I don't eat or snack on anything else. I also make sure I have a snack or 2 when my calorie intake is way too low.

I'm still not having the recommended water intake, but I definitely drink  more water than I used to.

I still walk to work, even with a blister on my little toe still healing. Thankfully it seems to be into the final stages of healing.

I'm on holiday from work for the next 2 weeks, dog sitting at my sisters so I'm still getting some walking in, I'm not getting the steps I usually do, but I make sure I get hit my step goal.

I've still not taken any updated pictures, but I definitely think that's something I'll do for my next update.

I've lost a little more weight, which I wasn't expecting, with how close my updates have been. I don't expect my measurements to have changed since my last update.

I'm still continuing to monitor and log what I'm eating to see my calorie intake. I will admit that one week I was really bad with my meals as it was way too hot to cook, so some days it ended up being a McDonald's delivery.

It's rare I have bread now, if I do it's bread that I've baked myself, I definitely feel better for it, I've noticed that I don't feel as bloated anymore.

I've definitely been drinking more water, probably still not as much as I should be, but the hot weather has definitely been helpful in drinking more of it.

I still walk to work on Monday and Friday, even when I start at 9am on some Monday's. I may ache after a long day at work, but I definitely feel better and enjoy the walk. I've noticed too that I don't get as breathless anymore, even going up the stairs.

Like last time, I've not taken any pictures, mainly because I've not had time to. I definitely think I need to include pictures next time as I've had a few comments of people noticing my little weight loss.

I've had a little more weight loss, as well as more changes in my measurements, but the little changes keep me motivated.

It's update time!

I'm still monitoring what I eat and logging each meal on my phone to see what my calorie intake is, along with seeing how much fat, carbs and protein I'm having. I'm still learning about what foods are the best for me and work better for what I want 

I'm having water alongside my coffee in a morning, I sometimes switch up and have a green tea in a morning, especially if I'm starting work early.

I still don't drink enough water, which is stull a big goal for me to change and improve on.

I now walk to work when I have a later start as I feel more comfortable walking those days, as some days I start work at 7am and I don't feel comfortable walking the route I do when it takes around 50 minutes. I was dreading walking to work before I started, but now I really enjoy it, I feel better in myself on those days and it's a good start in getting my steps in as I've completed my steps goal before I've gotten to work and started my shift.

I've not taken any pictures this time round but I did make sure I weighed myself and took my measurements. I have small changes which, I'm happy about as I didn't expect to see any changes at all just yet. I think even with small changes it helps keep you motivated and keep in that positive mindset.

Starting Weight:

11st 12.5lb/75.5kg/166.5lb

Current Weight:

Well that's my first update as I keep up with Weigh in Wednesday. I feel it keeps me accountable and helps me look back on any progress I make and push myself to keep up with it.

See you soon!

I can't believe it's been 9 years since my last weigh in Wednesday post.

I've decided it's time to bring it back as I want to start looking after myself a little more as well as loosing some weight as I've put weight on since my last posts, especially since lockdown back in 2020.

I've started monitoring what I eat by logging what I eat on the health app on my phone, I still have a coffee in the morning but I'm wanting to start my day with a glass of water first as it's meant to help rehydrate as well as aiding digestion for the day. Keeping up with this will also boost metabolism, enhance mental alertness, and supports skin health by easing dehydration-related fatigue.

I definitely don't drink enough water, so I'm hoping this change can help me into a more healthier and better mindset of drinking more water.

I'm hoping to start learning more about food so I can start picking the right foods to help me have more healthy eating habits, as well as lifestyle.

I also want to eventually get back into exercising, even if it's just small workouts to begin with, and also as it starts to get warmer, walking home from work as on some days I finish before lunch time.

I'm going to check in on the first Wednesday of each month, continuing to enter my weight, as well as measurements for my arms, waist, hips and thighs. As for me those are where I hold the most weight. I' also going to take pictures for each of the posts too so that there's also a visual prompt for me to keep up with it all.

Starting Weight:

11st 12.5lb/75.5g/166.5lb

Arm Measurements:

32cm/12.5 inches

Waist Measurements:

100cm/39 inches

Hips Measurements:

113cm/43 inches

Thigh Measurements:

61cm/24 inches

Well that brings this issue of Weigh in Wednesday to a close, I hope I've inspired you to think about making a change, even if it's just drinking more water.

See you soon!

Weigh In Wednesday!

Time for an update on from my last Weigh In Wednesday post but first lets recap my goals for this year.

My goals for 2017 are:

Weight loss - I'm a bridesmaid this year and I've gone for a dress size down for my dress so I'm wanting to if not go 1 but 2 dress sizes down from what I already am.

Tone up - with the weight loss I want to tone my stomach, thighs and arms back up, if I tone my bum up a bit more too then that's just a bonus.

Learn to drive - I've always wanted to learn to drive and I've got to the point that when my friends want to do something I feel like I have to say no because I hate having to always rely on them to come for me first, plus I always feel really cheeky asking for lifts to places.

Exercise and healthy eating has pretty much gone out of the window lately as we're going through some personal family issues at home, so a lot of it has been pushed to 1 side. I missed the last scheduled Weigh in Wednesday as I completely forgot to do my measurements etc and to even do a post, hence why there is a big jump in the dates of my measurements.

My driving lessons are going really well and I'm still enjoying it, I get frustrated sometimes but it's all part of the learning and just waiting on that moment when it all clicks in to place, I had my theory test just under a week ago and I sadly failed it by 3 marks on my Hazard Perception,  but I am going to be booking it back in soon so fingers crossed I do it next time.

 

Starting Weight:

9 st 6/60 kg/ 132.2 lb

I informed you of some of the things I had bought to start my process and people that I had contacted, well here is a little update. I haven't started the meal plans just yet from Kayla's book, I'm waiting to finish my Skinny Mint Teatox before I start any diet plans and as well as doing her circuit workouts from her book, I'm also going to do the circuit workouts from a book I ordered with my Teatox which is called Body Boss, the book states results start to show in as little as 2 weeks, so we will obviously be testing that out in my next update of Weigh In Wednesday.

So far I've had 3 driving lessons and I'm really enjoying it, I have my 4th lesson this week and I'm surprised that I feel like I'm getting the hang of it pretty quickly, even after only 3 lessons I don't really like being a passenger anymore, a few friends have put the pressure on though by saying they think I will pass on my first test, so I want to make sure I do and prove them right and not let them down. I have started revising again for my theory test and it's been booked for April so fingers crossed, I pass this time on my first attempt.

Well that's it for this month's Weigh In Wednesday update, I hope you're keeping up with your own goals and remember the mantra to go by comes from the Jedi master himself Yoda, do or do not, there is no try. Use this no matter the goal you're trying to accomplish.

Have you already broken your new years resolution?

Have you made any new goals?

Are you getting any closer to accomplishing your goals?

I've decided it's time I attempt getting my behind in gear again, 2016 really wasn't a year for my self confidence physically or mentally, you may have noticed this as I took some time out from blogging for personal reasons. Like last year I have decided to give myself goals and with these goals they have a deadline which is by October, not all of which are to do with how I look.

My goals for 2017 are:

Weight loss - I'm a bridesmaid this year and I've gone for a dress size down for my dress so I'm wanting to if not go 1 but 2 dress sizes down from what I already am.

Tone up - with the weight loss I want to tone my stomach, thighs and arms back up, if I tone my bum up a bit more too then that's just a bonus.

Learn to drive - I've always wanted to learn to drive and I've got to the point that when my friends want to do something I feel like I have to say no because I hate having to always rely on them to come for me first, plus I always feel really cheeky asking for lifts to places.

I believe if I focus on these 3 goals for the time being that it will help me build my confidence up and possibly open up new doors for me, I feel like I have to be guided by Yoda's mantra to succeed do or do not, there is no try.

If you're interested in any of Kayla's products then you can check out her website for more info.
Her app is available on both the App Store and the Google Play Store

Steps have already been made to start each of these goals, a driving instructor has been contacted, I've purchased my Skinny Mint teatox to start and I have a workout app and book by Kayla Itsines, which has a workout poster and meal plans that also include the recipe's for the meals. There is also lots of information in it to help you with the knowledge of what each food group does for your body, it helps to educate you on the changes you want to make.

Instead of making Weigh in Wednesday a fortnightly post as I have done before I'm going to make it a monthly post for at the start of each month, so then not only myself but any of my readers can check up on my progress.

Have you gave yourself a New Years resolution?

Have you gave yourself goals for 2017?

So it's a new year, are you trying to create a new you? I know many people's new years resolutions always have the usual eating healthy, loose weight, cut out junk plans that tend to last till the end of January and get to the end of the year again and think I should have tried harder, but this year I decided instead of the usual new years resolution's I'd give myself goals and not just try and tone up and do more exercise, I would do a full body overhaul.

My goals for 2016 are:

weight loss

(My BMI says I'm overweight)

Tone up

(arms, stomach, bum, thighs)

Skin care regime

Wearing more make-up

Making more effort when dressing

(more skirts and dresses etc)

I know some of you may look at the goals and think they're not really big changes but personally for me, for a girl that got stuck in the rut of constantly wearing jeans and a T-shirts, hardly wearing any make-up anymore and just constantly looking in a mirror and disliking what I saw looking back at me. I will honestly say because of my lack of self confidence I haven't been the best girlfriend, which I'm sure at times when I'm putting myself down Andrew would love to hit me round the head and tell me to stop being stupid, let me get back on track and tell you what I've been doing so far.

January started with a SkinnyMint teatox which I did as a bestie package with my friend Liv, we both did the 28 day teatox, I'm not sure if it came with two but I followed the calendar that they sent to give myself more of a boost while having the tea's, I also downloaded an app on to my phone that had 30 day challenges on many problem areas we have, I started the 30 day abs challenge, sadly I only got up to day 17 as I ended up with cold and just couldn't face doing the 100 crunches and 100 sit ups and then it all just went out the window. There was also a couple of times that I walked to work.

Here are some pictures from January's activities.

Current Weight:

10st

Arm Measurements:

28.5cm/11inches

Bust Measurements:

89cm/35inches

Waist Measurements:

84cm/33inches

Hips Measurements:

100cm/39inches

Thigh Measurements:

58.5cm/23inches

Calf Measurements:

32cm/12.5inches

Ankle Measurements:

20cm/8inches

I'm going to try and post updated measurements on either the last Weigh in Wednesday of the month or the first Weigh in Wednesday of the month that way both myself and my readers will be able to see if there has been any progress during the month, I will still keep up on my fortnightly posts letting you all know what I've been doing, so lets work together and make ourselves more confident within ourselves and when we look in the mirror.

Have a new years resolution?

Are you doing anything similar to me?

Let me know in the comments below.

Feel free to also leave any tips for or just to let me know what you've been up to in the comments below.

Hello

I've finally made some progress on getting back into some sort of exercise, Sunday just gone I went for a run/jog/walk for half an hour up and down the drive at Andrew's and something must have worked as I got up the next day and my thighs ached. For someone that doesn't tend to run or jog anymore I thought I did quite well doing 3km. After running I weighed myself so I could give an up to date weight and as expected I have put on a few pounds but I'm sure with time I will work it off and will have got back into my whole exercise regime again.

While running/jogging/walking (yes I did all three) I had on my workout playlist for the first time and stuck it on shuffle, and though it did keep me motivated I also lip-synched my way through the songs which in turn made the exercise more fun and exciting.

Here are the songs that played:

Super Junior - Magic

SHINee - Symptoms

Super Junior - Mamacita

Girls Generation - Soul

2pm - GO CRAZY!

Hyuna - Red

Yui - Rolling Star

Afterschool - Flashback

Girls Generation - Reflection

I often whinge that the drive at Andrew's is long to walk down but I can't deny that the scenery makes the journey worth it.

Last weigh in:

9st 1lb 

Current weigh in:

9st 3lb 

Arm measurement:

Weigh In Wednesday!

Hello

Well it's weigh in wednesday, I'm not going to lie but I don't expect to have lost much if any weight, if anything the only changes I feel and slightly notice is that my bum seems to be beginning to tone up and my thighs starting to slim down and tone up.

Healthy eating is something I find hard to do especially if I can't get to buy the ingredients or find a recipe to follow, most of the time I'm that hungry I just want something quick and easy to eat after work. My main downfall is I don't always have breakfast. If I do have breakfast I have porridge with fruit and cinnamon. 

Porridge with sliced banana, raspberries & cinnamon.

I always feel defeated when it comes to doing my exercise DVD as it's recommended that I do it four times a week but at most I get to do it two to three times which would be the weekend and a day I can use the living room in the morning as there isn't enough room in my bedroom so I don't feel I'm getting the full effects of the dvd. I have wrote down the  food plan from the dvd though so I can at least try and eat a but better.

The one thing I will say is that I love doing this dvd as I don't feel I've had a good workout if I'm not covered in sweat.

I'm still doing Charlotte's 3 minute belly blitz.

I'm also going to start revealing my measurements too in a few weeks to show any change.

Last weigh in:

9st 2lb

As much as I give my all when I workout I just don't get the time to do it as much as I want to. 

A customer at work put things into perspective for me and my friend Lisa when we were complaining about our body shapes revealing we should be happy with what we've got as she was a survivor of breast cancer and had had both her breasts removed, I've never said my desire is to lose weight but to tone and improve what I do already have and make myself healthier. People assume that if your fat your unhealthy and out of shape but that's not always the case, people will look at my weight and think it's nothing I agree but I can't run more than 5 minutes without being out of breath because I'm unfit. 

Let's do this together.

Weigh In Wednesday

Hello

An nyoung 

Konnichiwa 

Ni hao 

I've decided that every two weeks I'm going to do weigh in Wednesday to keep myself motivated and possibly others that what to get in shape. For me I don't necessarily want to lose weight or diet I just want to tone up my arms, thigh, bum and tum.

For the past two weeks I have been doing a teatox with a company called Skinny Mint, even though in my opinion I think the teas are expensive the price is worth the results you get. I'm doing the 28 day teatox which in the pack I got 28 morning boost teabags and 14 night cleanse teabags. The morning boost teas you have every morning and have a fruit tea taste you can also add sliced orange or lemon to add more taste. The morning teas work to reduce your food intake which for me I have found I have snacked less than I usually do, it also increased your metabolism and gives you more energy for the day and gives you that boost to exercise. The night tea is taken every other night this one has a green/nettle tea taste to it, the night tea works to cleanse your body through the night and helps reduce bloating.

www.skinnymint.com

Like I said earlier my intention is not weight loss but toning up my body so I can feel 100% confident in myself again.

This week's exercise is following Geordie Shores Charlotte's workout out DVD. I have done this DVD twice so far and I can't fault it many exercises lose my interest and I give up mainly because I'm a I want to see results now kind of girl but I already feel better in my self. There are 11 3 minute workouts that's work all parts of your body and if you don't ache after your not doing it right. There is also a bonus 10 minute extra Abs workout I love it.
