28 Feb 2015

Last day of the month post.

31 Dec - 16 stone 5 lbs
29 Jan - 15 stone 11 lbs
28 Feb - 15 stone 9 lbs.

So two pounds off, which is fine, and if I convert it to kilos, it means I've dropped below 100kg!

More to the point, I've enjoyed an 8 mile walk with Catriona and her friends, and an 8 mile walk to and from Newton Dee, where I did my bit to support the ND community by having coffee and a fine piece. Plus shorter walks with Linda and Trusty, and with Catherine. Another Jazzercise withGillian, and a ceilidh with John.

Roll on March!

19 Feb 2015

Did a long walk on Tues 17. Lift into RGU from John, walked to Duthie Park, walked along Deeside Way to Newton Dee, coffee, homebake, wander round shops, walked back to RGU; 8 miles excluding wandering round ND.  Lovely day, fresh air, birdsong, snowdrops, just perfect.

Wed 18 - theoretically rest day but got a lift into RGU with John, then walked to John Lewis (popping into shops en route) which is 3 miles, plus the extra wandering, then walked back to Hobbycraft, so probably did between 4 and 5 miles. Taking today as a rest day instead.

Tried on size 18 trousers in BHS and they were too tight.  Horrified at how I look in changing room mirrors - I must have been in total denial.

Haven't lost any weight this month! Hoping I've converted some fat into muscle. Keep thinking it'll suddenly come off.

16 Feb 2015

Got the munchies.

Yesterday I walked to the end of the Boghead road and back - thought it would be 4 miles, but only 3 unfortunately.

Today I walked to the cemetery and back - only 2.4 miles.

It's two miles to the Thainstone roundabout.

Clothes 10 Feb 2015

Dresses and trousers / leggings on  31 Jan

Skirts
Black with frill at bottom - will look better at 15 stone
Black with green / red / pink spots - will look better at 15 stone
Short skirt from Barcelona - will look better at 15 stone
Long purple skirt  - fits, but will look better at 15 stone
White skirt - fits, but will look better at 15 stone
Long black skirt - fits, but will look better at 15 stone
Short purple sparkly skirt - fits but will look better at 15 stone
Silk Monsoon skirt - fits but will look better at 15 stone


This should be a good incentive - I don't possess a single skirt which wouldn't look better if I weighed a stone less.

Today's walk
Walked to Inverurie Swimming Pool  -4.4 miles
Rowed 500m
Did 20 sit ups with the frame
Walked home - 4.4 miles

It took 5 hours (including stopping to speak to Linda,  stopping to take photos,  popping in for a look round Craigdon,  buying bird food from the ironmonger, buying tonight's tea from Dossetts.

Clovenstone loop with Linda 9 Feb 2015

Did the Clovenstone loop - 3.8 miles.

Scales playing up - they're weighing me at 16 stone, but going back to 2lbs when I get off.

Turriff Walk - 7 Feb 2015

Walked with Cat, Jill, Karen, Eloise and someone else, plus Stanley the dog. Did (I think) just short of 8 miles.  Took 2 hours to do the first 10km. I could keep up with the others on the level, but I was struggling with the uphill bits.

I am determined to get fitter! Though losing weight would help.  I should aim for 15 4 by the end of this month.

Yesterday I walked from Inverness train station to Mum and Dad's.  On Tues Alex and I walked from his flat to Brig o Doon and back
