Hiatus.

So I know it’s been a LONG time since I updated this blog, but I am around and I *have* been doing okay. (Hi, Aimee! I think you’re the lone reader here, hehe.) I’ve been updating my Weight Loss blog at Extrapounds nearly every day, because it has an internal community of members and the people there are really lovely. But this one seems to get forgotten about pretty quickly, so I decided it was time for a catchup!

After the head cold from hell of the last two weeks, I started exercising daily again as of last Monday. I’m still doing my Couch to 5k programme, I WAS up to Week 4 before my Laser Eye Surgery, but went back to Week 3 after the recovery break – and only JUST finished that again. So as of today, I’m back at Week 4 again – halfway there. Week 4 involves 3 minutes of walking/3 minutes of running/5 minutes of walking/5 minutes of running, plus a warmup and cooldown walk. And my personal victory, was that yesterday I ran on my treadmill for 10 full minutes without stopping – yay! (I run like a dork, seriously, and I get stitches all the time, that’s how unfit I am!)

Anyway.. my weight went up a little bit when I was off sick and not working out, and I had this one week last week eating SO much crap – I literally had a different takeaway dinner nearly every night last week, starting with McDonalds and finishing with pizza. So needless to say, I was feeling guilty. Monday I hopped back on the bandwagon and this is how I ended up… a week later.

Last week: 86.8kgs // 190.96lbs
Today: 84.8kgs // 186.56lbs

Needless to say I am a very happy camper !! I am so close to my first goal of 80kgs…. and I just hit my mini goal of 85kgs, so I need to think of a way to spoil myself. :)

    Yeah for a great loss!!!! That’s awesome. I need to start getting with the program again. Come to think of it – i’m going to post my current weight today and then start doing my WW again. I still have about 50 – 60 pounds to go. ::sigh:: Once I hit that first goal (under 200) I just kind of stopped. Which was dumb. But, you can’t change the past, right?

    you’re doing soooo awesome! and you’re totally inspiring. Keep it up!
