Week 3 Excercise!!

This week I haven't eaten as well as I could have. I have kept within my points but felt as though I have been picking a little, but always making sure not picking enough to point it! Who was I kidding??? I knew I hadn't done well but tried to be more conscious of it the last few days.

I had decided that I wanted to get more active this week - and I did. In addition to my increased walking, on Monday I completed 2.5km on the treadmill (at home) in 30 minutes. I also did 50 minutes of ballet conditioning on Tuesday, followed by 2.5 km (in 28 mins) on the treadmill this evening. I used to be very active and I would like to be again, I feel incredibly invigorated when I have excercised - I really enjoy it!! It makes me wonder why I let it lapse so long.

My plan with the excercise is to go on the treadmill Mon, Wed, Fri and do ballet conditioning Tues and Thurs. Also we have decided to join a swimming club for Special Needs children (our son has Autism) and their families, and that runs alternate Sundays. As a teenager I was a keen dancer and hockey player so I would be doing something almost every day and it would be good to be like that again. To those of you that wished Daniel well last week, thank you - his cough is much better.

So weigh in today..... Well I knew the past two days excercise wouldn't really count yet and that I hadn't eaten great so I wasn't too optimistic. I was plesantly suprised when Irene (my WW leader) told me I had lost 1 1/2lb, making it 10lb in 3 weeks. Only 2lb more and I will back to my weight before falling pregnant with Daniel (who is now 3). It would be great if I could get that next week.

So... to a week of making sure I eat better and work hard with the excercise, then fingers crossed.........
