So...it's been a while! I took a break over Christmas to reevaluate some things and for the most part it has worked.
As you can see in the picture it is less than 7 months to the wedding now and creeping ever closer. As exciting as that is it also fils me with dread, mainly due to wanting to lose weight before the wedding. I have a wedding dress fitting or two to fit in as well so that only makes it more nerve wracking; will I fit into the dress? Will it be too small? How much will the alterations cost if I have lost more than I thought etc.
With all this whirring around my head I have been going a bit crazy, but I guess that is normal for brides, and I thought I wasn't a typical bride!
Luckily I have the calming (at least occasionally) presence of Jon to stop me mid whirl wind and talk about our weight loss goals. We have decided to (finally) knuckle down and eat healthily and get back to the gym. Now although we haven't made it to the gym yet (we have both had heavy colds since Boxing Day) we have this week started doing qui fit again.
I was amazed, but not suprised, when the wii fit told us we hadn't been on in a while (454 days for me) and we decided that if we do not go to the gym for whatever reason then we will do wifi fit instead. Although our diets have been good lately our bodies really crave the exercise too and without it we don't really lose as much as we could. This is something we are addressing.
The wii fit did tell me one thing though, I have lost a stone since we lady used it, that means I was on my way up to my heaviest but hadn't hit it yet and now I am 3lbs off of losing 2 stone overall!
We have both also started using MFP (My Fitness Pal) again in the hopes that this will not only help us track what we are eating and the exercise we are doing but also it makes us actually think about what we are eating and how much. The trick is to remember to fill it in, which I will admit sometimes does slip through the net!
During one of my brain whirrings I thought about doing the couch to 5k plan, to really get us moving, I myself am not really a runner and do not enjoy it, but part of me wonders is that due to ny weight? Or my thought process? Have I trained my brain out of exercise?
In order to push ourselves we have decided that the week after the wedding we will take part in the Color run (I knoe wrong spelling but it's American) which is taking place in Birmingham. As soon as registrations open I will get us registered to make sure we do it!
We have taken part in a colour run before , 2 years ago, when I was bigger but we only ran for part of it, the plan is to run all of the way round! 95% at least! And I think that is an achievable goal!
Over Christmas I managed, somehow, to only put on 3lbs. This week I have lost two of those so it is not the worst outcome of Christmas!
Current Weight: 18st 8lbs
Target weight loss: 1 stone
Pounds left until target: 13lbs
Weightloss so far: 3lbs
Target weight: 17st 11lbs
