Update for the week

I haven't posted in my blog/diary for a while, so I'll do a quick update for the week. Overall, the week went pretty well and I stuck to calories. I didn't do nearly enough exercise though, for some reason it just went out of my mind and I lacked the motivation to get on with it. To be honest, not done a huge amount for the last 2 weeks, even though I lost well last week I haven't done so well dropping the inches and I think that could well be because of the lack of exercise. Will have to get back on it!

My biggest news of the week is that I got on to my PGCE course!!! So unbelievably stoked about it! Definitely need to keep on with losing weight for when I start. I don't wanna be the fat girl. I want to be thinner, more confident and make friends more easily than before. I start in exactly 16 weeks today. If I lose 2lbs each week, I will hit 231lbs by the 12th of September, so I'd be 16st 7lbs for the start of my course and my birthday 2 days later! Now, I'd like to lose more by then but I don't want to push myself for a harder target. But if I'm upping my exercise, it could well be possible to. If I lose between 2 and 2.5lbs a week, then I could hit 16st, a nice round number (though I'd still have a not so nice round body!) and would be great. But we'll see, I'm not going to officially set myself any goals for it because if I don't meet them, I don't want it to knock my confidence when I start. So I'm just going to do the best that I can do by then and whatever I weigh then, as long as it's less than now, will be good.

I had a really difficult time towards the end of this week. A 5 year, very close friendship had to come to an end and obviously, after 5 years, that was really hard. I'm still not particularly ok about it, though I understand that it had to happen. I'll get there. It did mean that one day, as a bit of a cheer myself up I said that I'd take my niece out for dinner - I was sitting with her because everyone else was out and didn't want her to be by herself all evening. So we went for chinese buffet and I wasn't quite as restrained as I should have been. There wasn't huge damage though so it could have been worse!


Had my weigh in yesterday, did alright but not really the kind of result that I like but after my chinese splurge I probably can't really complain. Lost 1.5lbs, an inch from my hips and half from my waist and back.

Am starting the 30 Day Shred today. It might well kill me though but I've got to at least try it! Will update later on how it goes!
