Welp. Another day at that damn 83.6kg on the scale. It's not broken as I called the children from their cartoons to weigh them to make sure they didn't weigh 83.6, too! Ha!
Well, I've totally gone off the bars as I'm sure they're not gelling well with my body and make me feel funny in my tummy and bummy. So, no bars.
So, I'll get enough chocolate tetras for work (6 of them: 5 with one spare) and 5 soups and the rest shakes. I liked the strawb shake but not the banana one. I'm sticking to Leek and Potato and Mush soup for now and I'll see if there are any others I've not tried.
So, weigh in on Tues tho my CDC said she might have to be away that day so I can weigh in on Monday or Wednesday. If given a choice, I'll go for Wednesday as it's probably a better chance of actually losing anything!
I tried on a load of clothes and the Banana Republic Skirt I bought in the States in Feb 2009 fit (tags still on) which is nice. I've now got loads in my wardrobe to wear for the Xmas season so I've no plans to buy anything until I hit my goal.
Speaking of the goal, I think more and more I'm going to go a bit lower, maybe 9st 7lbs instead of 10st 3lbs...just wondering if I can do it.
I'm going to do some exercise this week and see if that helps speed things along. Nothing too overly vigorous, just the modified version of TurboJam/Cardio Party. I used to be able to almost finish the 45min programme while actually doing the jumping, running, etc...now I'll be doing the low impact version of this. My plan is to get up early on the morning John is in town (his days to get kids up, etc) and one weekend day. I'll also try to get to one exercise class, whether it's cardio box or aquafit. This should help with the lose skin and help to tone me up!
Water: 4L seems to work best for me as I'm fairly thirsty anyway.
Week 5 starts on Wednesday! This is the week my CDC wants me to add a meal. I'm going to insist it be a 200cal one, yes, I know that's low, but I am in the zone and I think adding a full meal once a day could set me on a collision course with binging..I don't feel strong enough yet to eat a balanced meal.
Go and watch her videos. I find her very inspiring. She's my height and same start weight. Mind you, years and YEARS younger!
