So last week I reported a loss of a pound (woo!), today I am pleased to report another loss of a pound (faints!). I've a feeling this weightloss is going to be a bit of a slow burner...

So still no chocolate which is really bizarre - I've made up for it in wine though ;-) Had a lovely meal out at a Tapas restaurant on Thursday so didn't hold back on my food or wine. I've been pretty good exercising again, 2 lots of Zumba, 50 lengths swimming and a walk that seemed to last forever (in reality probably about an hour of hilly walking).

So that's it in a nutshell really. I'm still listening to Trevor, bless him. My eating habits have without question changed. I'm doing well with my exercising, I could do better with the wine. I reckon I could speed up the weightloss if I gave up wine, but where would the fun be in that?!

Sorry for the late post, not been around much this week!

Well, what can I say? I started off last Monday with a Zumba class, Wednesday Zumba class, Friday swimming (50 full lengths - go me!) and Sunday another 50 lengths.  I ate no chocolate, no rubbish, felt entirely virtuous, stood on the scales...... and cried.  I have stayed exactly the same blinkin' weight since I started. I have no idea why.  It is so unfair! <stamps feet>.

However winners never quit and quitters never win and all that.  I've got to carry on doing this...  I went swimming this week with another 3 mums, all of whom have had 2 babies and all of whom are very skinny.  Made me feel rubbish to be honest.  My belly will not shift.  But I refuse to be miserable, I like wine and I like eating - I can't give that up, I refuse to! I've cut down, I've upped my exercise, what more do I need to do...  ?    (arrgghhhh!!).

Hope to have a more positive post next week.  In the meantime, I'm off to the gym....

  

Shaking my booty - oh yeah!

Well tonight I have just come back sweat laden from my new Zumba class.  It's been something I've been putting off for ages and I decided tonight was 'the night'.  I was lucky to get a cancellation as the class is normally full and I'm really glad I went.  The class was fun and I shook my booty!

Yeah, I was a bit nervous to begin with, I thought everyone would be super fit and super co-ordinated but fortunately this wasn't the case.  I was able to learn the moves reasonably quick and I realised how much I'd missed dancing.  The only dancing I do now is drunk wedding dancing - all a bit tragic really.  I hardly listen to music anymore really so it was great to get back into it again.  Don't get me wrong I'm not a dancer but I used to enjoy nights out and 'getting on down' before I had the kids!

The lovely Trevor from 'Slimpod' fame, hasn't quite worked his magic weight wise, though to be honest I haven't had a bar of chocolate for 3 weeks (unheard of!).  So why I haven't lost any weight I don't know.. although I'm thinking the copious amounts of wine (ahem) I've been drinking probably haven't helped my cause. So the Zumba class is needed I think.  Obviously one class a week isn't going to make much difference, but I'm going to try and do a session mid week as well and then perhaps on Friday go swimming or something.  Ha! listen to me!  I always have so many good intentions....

Me!        (no, not really)

PS. Have decided to join the Mumentum ladies if they'll have me ;-)
