A loss?!?!?! And making 'it' work....

Goal Weight: 75kg

Current Weight: 84.3

Started my journey 01/09/14 - 28.7kg lost

So after another week of training (and lunch every day at the Italian restaurant), little exercise, and AF in full swing, I still managed to lose 440gms! I honestly thought I would be up, or STS. I NEVER lose weight when AF is here, I was actually in shock this morning....

I'm REALLY hoping it's not an anomaly and that I continue to lose throughout the week as AF packs her bags and disappears for a few weeks. I have to be SUPER good this week as we have girls night on Sunday and that will involve drinking and nibbling, so I need to be 'in credit' before then.

On that note, I won't be weighing in next Monday, but I will weigh in on Sunday instead. I know the Monday weight won't be my true weight after a night of drinking, so it makes more sense to record Sunday's weight.

In answer to a question on my last blog - no I'm not doing PP at the moment. I'm actually quite enjoying the 5:2/generally just eating better, and I got a bit frustrated with paying for a WW membership that I wasn't making the most of. I don't have time to go to a meeting, and to me that was the best value of a paid membership.

But I am still on the WW website, blogging away because I have made some cyber-friends and I like to stay in touch with them, as well as share my story in hopes of helping others.

I'll finally be back to my lunchtime walking this week (started today in fact - a nice 4.5km), and I have been missing it horribly. I really think my worklife benefits from the midday cobweb blowout, and I know my mental health certainly does.

It can be super hard to exercise/eat well when you are a working mum, but if I don't do it now, when will I do it? When the kids have grown up and moved out? When I retire? When I die? Nope, now is the time, and I just have to make it work as best I can!

5 workouts (walking/pilates)

Keep the bread to a minimum
