Holding steady, which is actually great, particularly given the huge vegetable and chickpea pasta dish I had last night! I still can't believe I'm actually seeing 10 stone something on the scales! You have no idea how much this means to me - it feels like I'm finally closing the awful chapter of my life that occurred just before I met my husband, which is when I put on most of the weight.
I had my 4 stone reward treat last night - a lovely facial. I almost fell asleep, I was so relaxed. I'll be booking in my final reward soon - a week long stay at a health spa with my best friends - can't wait!!!
I followed my diet plan 100% again yesterday. This new, structured approach to zig-zagging my calories is really working out so far. Don't get me wrong - I am hungry on the low days, but it's great have the high days to look forward to. I've continued sticking to my health goal from last week's ATW mini challenge, switching at least one of my snacks to fruit, and I also think this is helping, because you get a lot more for your calories with fruit, compared with biscuits, say! I hosted our toddler group this week, so had to serve up something in addition to fruit, but what helped me resist the mini lemon meringues I'd laid on was checking out the calories - 97 cals in each one, and they're only a single bite each - no way was I having one of those!!
Because I had guests arriving in the afternoon, I didn't manage to fit my scheduled workout in during my usual lunchtime slot. However, this is where the challenge helped again, because I couldn't let my team down by skipping a day, so I did my 40 minutes cardio plus 25 minutes toning late on, once my dinner had gone down - very tough, but it felt great once I'd done it!
