Weigh Day tomorrow..

I am having the usual pangs of worrying that I have been having every week since starting the plan. I worry in case I have not done enough, marked my points down wrong or just gone wrong somewhere in the week. I even treated my self to some of the galaxy bar i got for Easter and pointed it correctly.

I have stuck to the plan, counted my points. I have also upped my exercise this week. I have been out walking for at least an hour everyday as well as using the mini exercise bike.

I joined the 30wk challenge on WW online as well and i feel like that is giving me the extra boost i need to stay focused.

I will be happy with a 1lb loss as the way i see it is everything extra is just a bonus in getting me to goal a little quicker.

My new toy.

I have been using my husbands grandma's mini exercise bikes (they are just the pedals) and I told DH that I wanted a proper exercise bike. I don't feel like I was getting much benefit from it.

Today we picked one up that was advertised on freecycle. A couple where getting rid of it due to them expecting a baby and wanting the room.

I have done 20 minutes on it today already (two 10 min sessions)

As well as my new toy, today we went for a walk along the seafront and down the high street. Mia fell asleep in here buggy again so me and Gary enjoyed some grown up conversation without any interruptions

Weigh off.

When I started this diet my darling husband tried turning it into a competition. I told him I wasnt intrested in doing it as I didnt care how long it look me to loose weight as I wasnt doing it for anyone else but my self this time.
Anyway, I have never weighed my self on my home scales as I would just rather get weighed in one place, once a week.
Today we was playing around and I told him he wouldnt be able to wobble my love handles for much longer. Somehow we got onto the convosation of having a 'Weigh off' I have no idea why but I fell for it hook line and sinker.
I came downstairs and made him get on the scales 1st. As soon as his weight came up I knew I didnt stand a chance. I stood on them anyway and told him, tell me when the numbers come up but dont tell me what it says.
So he does. 18st3lb is what came up. He was lighter then me....I didnt want to be botherd but I am. I have put in all this hard work but he has hardly done anything. He hasnt changed his eating habbits apart from when I cook the evening meal, He still helps him self to choclate etc.
I am also a little worried about my weight. According to my home scales I have lost 5.5lb in a week. I kind of think my scales are a little out. lol.

Where its began...

In May 2009 me and my husband decided we wanted to extend out family and give our daughter a brother or sister. After coming off the birth control pill (i fell pregnant on it before) my periods where very far and few between so decided to seek medical help. After being sent for tests I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrom). The dr advised me to start loosing weight incase other medical intervensions didnt work and I needed IVF to concive another child.

I had tried WW before but was never in the right frame of mind. This time it feels diffrent. I feel like i WANT to loose weight, not only for the sake of having another baby but being able to play with my daughter and have the energy to run around after her without getting tierd easily.

Below are a couple of pics Before. At my 1st weigh in I weighed a WHOPPING 19st 4lb.

4 weeks later and I have lost 9.5lb. I am already feeling the diffrence. I have so much more energy and get go.

I have cut a lot of things out of my diet like white bread, white rice, white pasta and cut down on the ammount of potatoes i use.

I am using this blog as a way to see m y body and eating habbits change.

This isnt going to be a instant change, Its going to be a gradual thing and this time, I am in it for the long run.
