Weight Track Week 5-8

Week 5: Lost 2lb

Another week I was shocked as had a couple of pig outs, wine and had a night out for dinner. I did have some good days though and exercised.

Week 6: Lost 1lb

I really thought I had put on this week but then again dispite some piggy moments I still chose differently for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I seem to drink much more than I used to. 

BuggyFit Class

Week 7: Lost 1.5lb

Tried a bit harder this week and managed more walking. Feeling so much better already and dropped a dress size.
I hoped for 2lb to make it a complete stone as I've said once I hit a 1 stone lose I'm getting a tattoo. 

Nearly there :)

Week 8: Lost 1.5lb

This week I increased the exercise and purchased a fitness DVD which I did 3days this week and it killed me. My tattoo is booked :)
I have also put all my size 16 clothes up for sale as I'm never going back.

Why Oh Why?

Does anyone else ever wonder why did they want children so badly?
 I now have two and it has been one of the most stressful periods of my life so far.

My eldest son Ollie was planned and didn't arrive for some time after wanting him so much for a few years but once he was here it hit me like a ton of bricks my life had changed and he has been hard work from day one including pregnancy and his birth. At times now he can be so lovely especially when he's on his own but with his brother and sometimes other kids he is awful and unbearable to be around. I hate saying that but I have to escape from him from time to time as he just makes me want to explode.

My youngest son wasn't planned but was the opposite to Ollie he was so much more chilled out and actually slept. I even found breast feeding easier, calmer and I was less stressed. By 7 months he started to get harder as he was crawling but still easier than Ollie but now he is 1 1/2years and has become increasingly naughty maybe through watching his brother. He hits, throws, shouts and bangs everything. I even had a toy car thrown in my face the other day.

The two together can be your worst nightmare both shouting, screaming and now fighting because they want the same thing but I must admit it normally is Ollie that causes the chaos. When they are separated its bliss but I can't keep doing that all the time as they need to learn to tolerate each other.

I hoped I would enjoy motherhood and being at home with the kids as I longed for it for so long but now I'm wishing time away so I can get myself back again. 

Want List

So many things I have my eye on at the moment.

Loving the Cath Kidston spots, toadstalls and hearts. 

Would love this collection.

George Lace Dress only £10. you can get in different colours, I love the Navy, Yellow and Emerald.



Since losing a bit of weight I'm feeling more confident and started wearing cami tops. Love this Japanese floral Cami at £6.99 from Select. Also these lace up shoes in yellow (says green but looks yellow to me) at just £5.99.

Start Weight Watchers 03/05/14 at 12st 6lb (174lb)

Since September 2013 I seem to have been stuck between 169lb and 174lb so to get motivated to continue to lose I joined Weight Watchers on 03/05/14 with a starting weight of 12 stone 6lb. 

Week 1: Lost 3lb 

Started on Simple Start but half way through switched to ProPoints. I craved chocolate this week so had a little. 

Week 2: Lost 2.5lb 

Tracking everything I have eaten gets you thinking how you actually eat. This week I craved Cake, again I gave in but instead of a whole slice I shared it. 

In two weeks I lost 5.5lb and this is me exercising in a BuggyFit class 

                                    

Week 3: Lost 1.5lb 

Lost 1/2 stone in total woohoo! Struggled this week as wanted bad food so pigged out a little but on Weight Watchers cake and bars but exercised a lot. So 1.5lb was pretty good.

Week 4: Lost 2lb

This week has been hard as been stuck in the house most of it with kids so got bored and ended up picking at food plus hardly any exercise. I also introduced wine back on the menu and ended up having it 4 nights out of 7 Opps! 

So losing 2lb was a shock and reaching my 5% goal. 

TOTAL LOST 

****** 9lb ******

I measured my hips, waist, thigh and upper arm when I started and found I've lost inches after just 4weeks its amazing, I can fit in jeans that were hard to do up before and I'm down a dress size.

Waist lost 3"

Hips lost 2"

Thigh lost 2"

Upper arm lost 0.5"

Here I'd to the next 4 weeks :))))

Yellow Sunny Yellow

I have an obsession with yellow at the moment I'm hunting for lots of yellow. 

My page Kelly's Box www.facebook.com/kellyscraftbox

Has a range of scarves that would brighten any outfit that I'm tempted to keep them. Loving the sunflower scarf.

Experimented with Yellow nails and added sparkle.
