Weigh in - 2006/05
After an incredible week the scales posted a loss of 1.1kgs bringing me to a total loss of 18.4kgs. Earlier on in the week the loss was higher but a bit of rebalancing and a bit too much to eat on the weekend saw the gain pull back. Whilst I am not unhappy with the loss I posted I can see there is still room for improvement in my habits.
I enjoyed working to the exercise plan last week and will be working from it again this week. I did not do any of the morning exercises and will look at introducing it in at least a couple of days this week. Lunch time I achieved all targets and the evenings I probably achieved 50%. So with room to move I am happy to be starting another week.
The weekend was really hectic with Marks mother flying in. We asked if she could come so that she could play with & look after the boys whilst Mark and I got to the jobs that we just have not managed to complete in the last few weeks. We do try but as it is a bit hit and miss in the evenings with the boys going to bed I usually succumb to my bed as soon as I am able and another night passes without jobs getting done. So this weekend was a full onslaught and I am happy to say that we broke the back of it. It is always so satisfying to see a job (almost) finished. It's been a long time since I could see the walls in this room and am surprised to remember that they are yellow LOL. By the end of the week I will actually have a room that we can set up the exercise equipment in and have it safely out the way of little fingers. And if we have people to stay it will only be a matter of moving the equipment to one side instead of having to find another space for it completely. Very happy about that.
So I am on the way to losing my 10%. 1.5% gone - 8.5% to go :D
My weekly check up
3 x weights sessions - Done. I worked really hard but listened to my body too. By Friday I was so physically tired that I did not do the full three sets but still worked up an impressive sweat. Loving the weights at the moment.
2 x cardio sessions - Done. Tried a new machine that I will incorporate from now on.
Min 12,500 steps a day - Done.
Eat 140 pts for the week - Not done. I went over the points this week but only on the weekend so taking my bonus points into consideration probably did not go over all that much. SP's were a bit high (all on the w/end) so will be concentrating on this.
Plan my me time for Wednesday - Done.

Nice work M, a more than respectable loss and an excellent assault on the exercise front. I get buggered and fall into bed without doing any nagging tasks and I don't have kids. It sure it needs to be something you're ready for...calling the MIL to stay to get help, that is - definately not something I can envisage me doing willingly!
Here's to next week being as full of achievement.

Love the new look. So glad to hear you still had a good loss this morning - mine was a really good surprise as I wasn't expecting that at all given the horrible week I had. Will have to take care that it doesn't catch up next week !!!!
Cheers for now and see you Friday !

Great loss - it's a really good place to be, to be able to have a respectable loss but also to see room for improvement.
I love getting things sorted, it really feels so refreshing and 'clean' if that's the right word - (I know what I mean, lol). Glad that your mother in law is so helpful :-)
Have a great week!! I love hearing about your 'me' time by the way - such a great idea.

Ooh, I love that new format!
Sounds like you've had a fantastic week. I hear what you're saying about even if you're happy enough with how much weight is lost, recognising that there is room for improvement in behaviour and habits.
Hope you have an even better week this time round. :D

OMG - you have a lot of fans! 31 comments! Go you... see how much you inspire people?
I really like that you have a weekly goal checklist. I have set up an exercise checklist on my blog, thanks to you (although it's nowhere near as extensive as yours, but watch me try to kick your arse when Bob comes out! I also like that it includes your "me time" - SO important. Love the new look blog too.
Also, thanks for giving me more confidence to 'lose' a bit while I'm pregnant. I'm glad that you saw what I was trying to do rather than being worried about me going on some ridiculous diet, which I am sure is what my doc would think if I told her about it. The support and advice I get from you guys is WAY better than any WW meeting - thanks!
