Spin class done and dusted, with a wee bit of ab work and then into work.  And all before 8.30am.

And my big news today (big to me anyway) is that I have lost another 3lb.  That brings my total weight loss, in 13 months to 4st 5lb.  I am happy beyond belief.

Yes, I realise that people can lose weight a lot faster than that, and that is a really long period of time, but I believe that it took a long time to gain the weight, why should losing it be any quicker? 

I have steadily and consistently lost weight.  I have not put any back on. 

I am working out and gaining fitness.

I am changing my life.

And I love it.

It is hard work, I won't lie to you.  Anyone that says differently either doesn't have that much to lose, or is lying.  But when I see those scales going down, when I see I have to buy a smaller size pair of jeans, when I see that I can go further on the treadmill, or go faster up the stairs at work, every minute of working out, sweating like a pig and feeling hungry is worth it.

If you are on this journey too I take my hat off to you.  Keep going.  You can do it.

And if you wanna talk, drop me a line.  I would be more than happy to speak to you about it.

This is getting harder and harder to find the time to do.  I enjoy it, its fun getting a few of my thoughts and feelings down on paper so to speak, but the timing is an issue.

I will have to suck it up and just find the time.

I have been going to the gym again...whats that I hear you say.  I know...no big surprise at all is there?  I still don't love it, but I do it.

This weekend was a busy one.  Spin twice on Saturday, Spin and Pump on Sunday.  Monday was an hour of one on one time with a trainer, Tuesday I had off.  Wednesday was Zumba and Kettlebells.  Today I am off.  Friday will be Tabata Circuits with spin.

Phew..it wrecks me just typing it!!!

I lost another 2lb this week. 

Its coming off slowly.

I have also decided (on the express instructions from the trainer at the gym) to stop eating bread.  Three days down and so far so good.  But I am SICK of salad for lunch.  I need to get to the shops and buy different things to eat!!

Work beckons so talk soon :-)

I went to the gym again this morning. I did a legs, bums and tums class. Then the instructor said she was going to do 20 mins of spin class. I decided to try.

I did 15 mins in the end. But that was 15 mins of spin class I had never done before. I am very proud of myself.

Me and baby girl went to the cinema this afternoon and watched Beautiful Creatures. Have you saw it? We enjoyed it.

I love spending time with my daughter.

We came home. Had dinner. Watched Life of Pi on DVD.

Interesting movie.

Bedtime now tho. I am tired.

Good day, spent with baby girl.

My favourite kind of day.
