November Weigh In

FINALLY!!! I'm finally making some progress on this weight loss thing. Finally!!! I weighed in this morning at a 'slender' (lol) 82.3kg, so here's how things are so far...

1st June - 79.5kg (12 stone 7.3lbs)
1st July - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
1st August - 85kg (13 stone 5.4lbs)
1st September - 84.1kg (13stone 3.40lbs)
1st October - 86.8kg (13 stone 9.36lbs)
1st November - 82.3kg (12 stone 13.44lbs)

How about that for impact?! I'm very pleased with myself with this 4.5kg weight loss, but I'm even more chuffed because I know my 'actual' weight is a little less than this. If you check yesterday's post, you'll see I've actually lost a total of 6.5kg over the month of October. It went up slightly at the start of the month to 87.3kg because of my trip to Amsterdam and finished in with a weigh in of 80.8kg yesterday.

The reason I'm up this morning is because yesterday was my blow out day of the week. I had a family function so it involved lots of samosay and Coke, followed by pizza later, chocolates, more samosay. Trust me, if you're trying to lose weight, you need these days otherwise you'll go mad.

I know I can get back to 80.something kg in a few days so I'm not sweating it. I'm just so happy that I've shifted a huge chunk of weight. It's most definitely same again this month. I'll be starting another mini challenge with my cousin and again, I'll give details of that later, plus I'm starting a new weights regime today which focuses on arms, I'll let you know how I get on with that in the week.

Get in!!!

I'm so pleased that I set up a mini challenge with my cousin this month. We both decided on targets that we wanted to achieve by today and I'm pleased to say that we both met them.

I decided I wanted to shift 5kg from the 1st to 31st October. I really knuckled down and got my eating on point with 4 to 5 small meals a day and one blow out day each week where I eat and drink whatever I want.

I'm so happy to post that I've lost a total of 6.5kg!!! That's a stone. GET IN!!!

It started off bad because I weighed myself on the 1st October and posted it as 86.8kg, but my weight shot up straight after because of a few days in Amsterdam. So in fact, my 6.5kg loss is from a slightly higher weight than 86.8kg.

Also, even though I did a lot of exercise this month, I still had room to do more. Hopefully I can work out more in November.

I don't want to tell you the exact weight for today because I normally weigh in on the first of every month anyway, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow! I must add though, today is my blow out day, so I'll be putting weight on haha!!!

On target...

Even though I was on/off with my exercise in the past couple of weeks because of a mix of Amsterdam/run down/possible flu, things are looking good because I'm dropping off the kilos.

Got the October 5km run coming up soon, a new weights regime which focuses on arms and the end of the mini challenge that I set with my cousin (will go in to more detail towards the end of the month about that)

I've also got that Nike+ iPod Sensor which I'm looking forward to using tomorrow morning. Will let you know how I get on.
