No more delusions and wishing for quick fixes... Here for the long haul!!

So when i started in january i had this psychological goal that i wanted to be under 20stone by the time i met up with my speedway friends, that i havent seen since october, at the end of march. Now thats 2 weigh ins away and i have 6.5lbs to go to get under 20stone. Any ideas how i can speed things up a bit to reach my goal?

Sorry to hear that, such a shame when you were enjoying it. Hopefully something else will come along quickly

Thanks for the support Bev and Zappacat.

Went for an hour long swim last night and then walked the 1.4 miles home really helped to clear my head.

Today's Food:

Breakfast: fruit salad and 2 hifi lights (HXB)
Lunch: speed soup and 30g parmasen (hxa)
Dinner: 2 baked potatoes with tuna mayo (quark), cheese (6 syns) and salad
Supper: 2 pears, popcorn (4 syns) and a yogurt

Not doing very well with this red day thing. :/ Bit of a carb whore i think! Hubby has suggested that I just focus on inch loss for the next couple of weeks as that's what my friends will see and they won't know the number on the scales. Which obviously is totally true... Swim, Swim, Swim time and hopefully that will shift the inches. It closes at 4pm on a saturday so didn't go today but will be going tomorrow and hopefully daily from then on.

Bev - just wondering if when you did swimming a lot last year did you notice anywhere firming up/slimming down more than other areas?

 

[Zappacat]

Well done on the swimming and walking home as well! I'm hoping to start going swimming again in the summer. Signed up to join a new gym opening at beginning of April so hopefully that will give me a boost. :-D

Chlorine makes my skin itchy too. Hopefully a good shower gel should sort it out

 

[AnnBee]

Have picked up some sanex dermo pro hydrate shower gel and some aquaeous cream so fingers crossed they sort it out.
