Wow what a week!!....

This week has been amazing! Firstly, I met the excercise goal I set myself this week. I spent 30 minutes on my treadmill on Wednesday, Friday and Monday (my WeightWatchers week starts on Wednesday). I started at 2.5km and increased to 3km. I did my ballet conditioning Saturday and last night and we took the children to the Splash Club on Sunday. It was fantastic, I now remember how much I enjoy swimming and even earned 4 Activity Points (low intensity for 60 mins) just for larking about with the children! Despite not wearing a bather for about 4 years I wasn't phased by it at all. We are definately going back to the next session in a fortnight. I am also going to try Daniel with the mother and toddler sessions to see how he does with that.

Simon and I have also talked about more excercise. Once Daniel starts nursery after Easter we are going to play badminton once a week and I will also go for an hours swimming once a week too. I have felt so energised by all this extra activity this week and look forward to continuing it long term.

At weigh in today, I have to be honest I was hoping for a loss of 3-4lb with it being the first week of exercise. I was totally shocked when Irene told me it was 5lb, that takes me to 15lb in 4 weeks and I got my 2nd silver seven. Yipppeee! I can't believe it has been so easy thus far. I always thought it would be very hard to get my head into it in the beginning. I am realistic that the weightloss will slow down, but I never dreamed I would be a stone down in the first month!!

Further to my exercise this week, I have registered to take part in the Cancer Research UK Race for Life at Carlisle this summer. I have paid my fee (so can't back out of it now!!) and set up my web page. I would really appreciate any sponsorship if you can help at all. As you can see, I have set my target at £100 (initially not too optimistic) but hope to raise as much as possible as cancer affects soo many lives.

Thank you in advance.....
