WOW! What else can I say apart from wow!
I have lost 2 whole stone - 28lbs since April and I still have 11lbs to go to hit my target and only 6 and a bit weeks till holiday!
I feel so much fitter and healthier, I am fitting into smaller clothes, I am buying UK size 14! I have never worn that size as an adult before!!
The amount I have learnt about myself, and still learning - like how my body works with different things, weights vs cardio etc. Eating healthy but still living my life and have some indulgences. I am no where near done and when I reach my target I do not know where I am going from there - the possibilities are endless!!
I still have bad days and struggles. I still have those chocolate cravings when it is the time of the month. When I am tired and low on energy and I haven't brought snacks to work. I have learnt not to get so tired, get enough sleep or how I must carry on through regardless.
That is one thing I am still working on - balancing the gym and work. I push myself pretty hard at the gym but within my limits - but then I work a busy and stressful active job as a resturant manager. On my feet for a 10-12 hour shift and barely any break. So I do get over tired especially on Tuesdays - my work week goes from Friday to Tuesday. So I'm working on that.
But overall I am doing pretty great - tired and sore a lot of the time but I am loving it.
My current step is toning and getting some of this flabby and loose skin to go back in. I am body brushing and massaging and moisturising and it works if I keep up with it - but like I say I am busy!! lol
This week I am getting the train down to Bristol to see a show with my mum, sister and neice. Should be a lovely day but I need to keep away from the junk food - just because it is a day out I don't want old habits to kick in and let myself have too many treats or bad choices!
So here's to the furture and losing these last 11lb - hopefully I can make it to a round 40lbs lost - wouldn't that be amazing!!!! and that is only from April - at the start of the year I weighed 224 lbs!!
Keep up the good fight!!
