19 March 2015

Well, this is annoying. 15 stone 10lbs this morning.  So I have 12 days to lose 5lbs. That must be do-able.  Surely.

On a more positive note, last night I did 2.5 km in 15 mins on the rowing machine.  It might have been set at an easier setting; I don't know.  But it's the first time I've felt I could do a proper work-out on the rowing machine.


Walked to the gym - 4.4 miles.
1500 metres on the rowing machine - 8 mins 30 secs
40 stomach curls on the thing.
Ten of the first dumbbell exercise using the lightest cissiest dumbbells
1.5 miles on bike at level 3 or 4 - 8 mins.
Walked back as far as Thainstone roundabout, where Sandra offered me a lift. 2.3 miles.
Left house at 9, got home 12.30.

Tried on skirt in M&Co, lovely colours.  18 fitted, just, but style did nothing for me.

12 March 2015

Walked to gym, popping into St Andrews church en route. Left the house at 9, and got to the gym at 10.25. V pleased to have done it in under 90 mins.  Did 1250m on rowing machine in 7 mins, 30 of the sit-ups on the frame and 1.5 miles on the bike in 6 mins.  So that's my best gym work out yet, though plenty of room for improvement! Then I walked home, going in past Strachans for cards and Dossetts for meat, and got home at 1.

Rest day tomorrow!

Clothes (Dresses / trousers 31 Jan;  skirts 10 Feb)

Nightwear

Cosy PJs blue / black size 18/20.  Fit comfortably. Will still fit at 15 stone
Pink heart nightshirt size 20/22- comfortably baggy. Will be baggier but ok at 15 stone
Purple nightshirt size 18.  Fits comfortably. Will be better at 15 stone
Pink / spotty PJs size 18/20. Fits comfortably
Purple spotty nightshirt
Silk nightie
Tatty teddy PJs size 16 - too tight

Three pairs bed socks
Purple slippers

Pink dressing gown
Purple fleecy dressing gown size 18-20.

Think I have plenty of nightwear which will do till I'm 14 stone.

11 March 2015

Long gap since my last post.  lots has happened - Alex,  the March of the women, etc.

This morning I was 15 9, exactly what I was a fortnight ago, which is fine. Hopefully I can get below 15 7 by 31 March. Ideally I'd like to lose 4lbs in the next  20 days, which would mean I'd lost a stone in total.

This morning I walked to the gym, 4.5 miles, which took 90 mins.  Then I did 1 km on the rowing machine (took 6 mins) , 20 sit ups on the frame and 1 mile on the bike, mostly at level 2, which took 5 mins.  I was going to walk home, but when I came out of the gym it was raining. I walked the first mile, but by then it was stinging hailstones, so I caught the bus back. Including walking from the bus stop in Kintore, total 6 miles walked.
