You are so clever remembering to measure yourself. You are certainly dropping those inches, that must be a great incentive

I went to the shops today and it was quite warm to what it has been, felt like spring was on it's way and it reminded me of last summer how I was dying in the heat and how I vowed next year would be different... It's easier being fat in the winter, especially when it's snowy!
I so don't want another fat summer.. I HAVE to stick in with this!!!!!

Once I get my daughter to bed am going to get my excersise number up to 1,400.

What exercise do you do, I was thinking of doing some sit ups, not to burn fat but when I have lost all my tummy there might be a 6 pack waiting, at the moment I have a 6 pack ,buy one get one free thats the problem !

 

[rowanx2]

I'll try describe it - bouncy step side to side lifting each leg to the back and your arms go up meeting at the top, do you know what I mean?
It's about all I can do but it works your arms, back, torso, legs and bum so it's a good one to do. It's nto going to cripple me into a position where I'll need unbending lol xx


Am at the point where it would be easy to start getting disheartened but am not going to, just cos I just can't make the scales go down right now I know I also wont stay at 16-13 forever!
Got to remember I surpassed my original goal of half a stone a month and it's still 8lbs in 19 days and 8 3/4".

 

[rowanx2]

Am making sweet and sour chicken for my 300 cals

still to have: 500 cals, banana and 2 shakes (might just have one shake and see if the scales move, and to make up for the other day, will see if I am hungry or not come the time)

I tried a bought shake today, fruits of the forest, and it was lovely! But rather dear!!

So for my 500 cals I had that, potato wedges, 2 quorn sausages and peas.

still to have 2 shakes and banana.

Is the fruits of the forest a limited addition or a regular one? I have got a lemon ready made shake for tomorrow, hope I like it.
Calves are a nightmare, do they ever get smaller? Boots are so hard to find that fit around them.
