I woke up on Saturday feeling thin. Well, thinner.
I had a great couple days and then Friday night was a delicious and healthy thai meal followed by rather a lot of gin. And some red wine. So I think it's safe to say I was pretty dehydrated. This meant when it came to weighing I definitely was at peak lightness and I was highly confident of some sort of a loss.
I got on the scales. 12 stone 4.75lbs. Well my goodness - 2.5lbs off! Bloody hell! I have been working hard so I feel a loss is deserved but that is better than I could have hoped for. Numbers aside (as they can't really be trusted) I am definitely feeling thinner in my clothes. I had my usual jeans on on Saturday and I can feel a difference, without a doubt. Yippeee!
So it's onwards for another five days until my final weigh before we go away.
Current Weight: 12 stone 4.75lbs
Loss: 2.5
Total loss: 5.5lbs
I'm on a lifelong mission to ditch the lard. Stones away from my heaviest, I'm closing in on my pre-pregnancy weight. Next up, my wedding weight! Onwards!

Protein Ice Cream Bites
It's been months since I did a double dunt. Two workouts in one day used to be a normal Thursday for me and yesterday, the power of two was realised once more.
I was down at the football pitch at 7am raring to go with my personal trainer (with a green smoothie I made him - what a kiss-ass) and we had an hour of press ups, jumping squats, split squats, jumping jack, hill climbers and the like interspersed with running. It was a flipping glorious morning and so I was feeling pretty boyant by the time it was 8am and it was home time.
Then at 12.25, after a lunch of one egg and extra egg white omelette with pesto tuna, I biked along the gym and cracked out a spinning class. After that I cycled to the supermarket, bought way more than I could fit in my bag and wobbled home on my two weeks with brown rolls and diluting juice threatening to fall out my bag.
In between this, as well as working (oh lordy I have a lot on just now) I made some delicious protein coconut banana ice-cream bites.
In the food processor I blasted some coconut milk, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder and a little squeeze of nagave nectar. I then just poured the mix into an icecube tray and popped it in the freezer. Now I have delicious ice cream bites ready for muching on. Yum!

What the actual...
Yesterday was a great day food wise.
WTF? WHAT? What is wrong with me? I am wearing my fitbit like my life depends on it - even taking it to the bathroom with me in the morning on my way to have a shower so I don't miss a step (little bit OCD) - and then I mindlessly shove a load of crap in my face. I am so annoyed with myself. Why am I being such an bloody idiot.
PS) last entry I talked about holding the plank for 3 seconds. That should have been 30. You must have wondered what the hell I was moaning about. Haha! Oooh, 3 seconds - it just never seems to end!
- Fruit and Fibre for brekkie
- Snacks of fruit (nectarine, two tiny plums, banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter)
- Egg white omelette with aubergine and pesto tuna for lunch
- Snack of 2 breadsticks dunked in some low fat chickpea dip thingy and a slice of ham
- Sweet potato with my own low fat chilli for dinner

Weigh in
So Saturday rolled around and after three days of quite frankly, kicking arse, it was scale time.
12 stone 7.25 - a loss of 2.75lbs, athankyouverymuch. I'm really chuffed with that. I suspect my weight three days previous had been badly affected by the junk I ate in the few days before and so it wasn't a 'real' weight, but whatever - I am just happy to be half a stone away from ww, rather than 10lbs. 10lbs seems like a huge jump up.
Saturday was quite a lazy day despite picking 7kg of strawberries which I then turned into 45 jars of jam on Sunday. Four years ago I decided to take on the family jam making as my Granny who used to do it (and marmalade) died about six years ago. It's kind of in her honour and who doesn't love homemade jam.
On Sunday we also decided to for a cycle and some lunch. We live right on the coast and decided to cycle to a beach side diner 10 miles away - up a massive bloody hill. 20 miles, and lunch later we made it to the next town and jumped on the train home. I was actually really pleased we ended up doing a longer route as I felt like I picked at bread, a packet of crisps and chocolate on Saturday night. So at least some extra calories were burned off.
Yesterday I did my new gym programme in the back garden and then nipped out for half an hour of interval training (2 mins slow running/2 mins fast). The gym stuff is all weights. We're talking dumbbell step ups, lunges while holding a weight above your head, single arm rows, and the dreaded plank. My elbows are ruined from mat and grass burns as I try and hold a side plank for 3 seconds, rotate into a normal plank - and then into the other side plank.
When I headed out for my run I was dreading it. Since just before the wedding I feel like I've not really been able to get into a routine - it's just the way life has been. This has meant the time between runs has been all over the shop and so it seems like a massive deal when I am going to go for one and I think it
it's going to be painful as I struggle round my route.
Yesterday I just got on with it. What else are you gonna do? The first few minutes where not enjoyable. But the longer I ran, the stronger I felt. My route took my to the bike shop (did I mention I got a puncture a mile from home on Sunday?) and by the time I had cycled back home, I felt like I could take on the world. I wish I could bottle that feeling.
Then last night I delved into my new baking book; from the Hummingbird Bakery. I can bake a bloody delicious cake but I almost always use the same sponge recipe so I've set myself the challenge of baking every recipe from this book. First up, Banana Boston Cream Cake. I had to make a custard from scratch for the filling, which was a first for me - but it turned out beautifully. I think my edging needs to be tidied up a bit but that's not going to affect the taste!
I can't lie, I did lick at the ganache and there was a tiny bit of cake stuck to the bottom of the tin, that I may have smothered in ganache and scarfed. Oops. I've brought the whole entire cake into the office though - where it shall be devoured by hungry workers.

WOLF! WOLF!
You've guessed it my three days of being fantastic food wise did not happen. I won't bore you with the details and excuses (much of which involved cream and meringue). I will however, bore you with my new plan. I'm actually laughing when I type 'new plan'. There is sweet fanny adams that is new about it. It's a plan though and without a plan, I am nothing.
I know it seems like I am on repeat here but if I don't keep trying, then I'll never succeed. And I bloody love to succeed.
Here is the skinny (no flipping pun intended). I go away for two weeks, two weeks on Saturday. I weighed myself yesterday morning with intent of having three STONKING days and weighing myself again on Saturday. I know, not like me to have such a small weigh in window but it's happening people. I will then have two full weeks until I go. If I had waited until Saturday I know I would have continued to mess around and kid myself on.
So I weighed and as expected the numbers were far from good. 12 stone 10lbs. A quarter of a pound more and I would be back to my post honeymoon weight. WTF? For god sake. What a waste of a month. I am annoyed at myself. Really annoyed. It's done though and time to look forward.
Yesterday was an excellent food day. Green smoothie for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch, aubergine and chicken one pot meal with bulgar wheat for tea. Snacks were cold meat, a peanut butter protein ball I made (more on that later) and fruit. I also played racket ball for an hour - which helped me totally smash my step count.
Yeah, that's right - I said step count. Did I not mention I got a fit bit? I'm surprised as I have been boring everyone else with it! Yup, I decided to go ahead and get myself one of these super duper pedometers. I love a stat and pouring over graphs that compare my step count/distance covered and calories burned gives me quite the thrill! I also wanted to get it as it feels like I do a LOT of walking when I go to camp. I'm talking about four miles on a quiet day. So, I thought I'd get it before then so I've got some 'normal' data to compare it to. Let me know if you have one and want to be on each others' friends list!
Right, I better scoot. I'm cycling along to spinning at the gym.

Okay. It's time to fess up. I'm not really doing very well with the whole diet and exercise thing. I just can't seem to get a grip, a really firm grip of things. Motivation is not high.
I give myself a talking to and I am resolute that THIS IS IT. No more faffing about. No more half arsed attempts. That lasts as long as it takes for the next tempting thing to come along and glance in my direction.
I managed to scrape a lost of a quarter of a pound on Thursday. That really is pathetic and based on the weekend's takeaway pizza and Chinese on Saturday and Sunday night respectively, I'm not holding out much hope for a loss this week. In my defence the takeaways have occurred through social situations which have been beyond my control. What is in my control though, is not sneakily eating a meringue nest, extra forkfuls of creamy pasta and ditching a run because it looks a bit wet outside.
I've got two and a half weeks before I go away for two weeks. This was the deadline I gave myself to get back to wedding weight. I'm not aiming for ww though. All I am aiming, right now, is three fantastic days of clean eating and exercise so that when I do stand on the scales on Thursday morning it's not with a total sense of dread.

Mind over matter
What a whirlwind the past five days have been. Bonk-ERZ.
- My work thing on Thursday was a total hit and I got the best results I have EVER had. That's right - EVER. I was pretty bloody chuffed with myself, I can tell you. The only downfall was the food on offer was pretty much incredibly unhealthy but I was so flippin hungry that I had no choice but eat it. Hmmm. I then got stuck into some chocs on the train home that a friend gave me for helping them out with a project.
- Friday morning I saw my PT and had a really good workout. Sometimes he makes me hold on to TRX straps and do one legged squats. When I first did them I could hardly do them on my right leg. Now - I am the Queen of them. That felt good.
- I bought some maca powder from a lovely health food shop on Friday which I have had in a green smoothie on Friday morning. Tasted fab but I think I need to get into the swing of it more than just once a week.
- I was at camp all weekend and was very very active. SO much walking. But my eating was questionable. I ate too much portion wise and I also made far too many cakes. And here is the rub... cakes that I made. I made some coconut and bramble cupcakes on Friday morning to take with me and I decided to make some coconut icing too. Holy crap, it was amazing. SO GOOD. I then proceeded to scarf about five of them over the weekend. Silly girl.
- I've been in the company of a sort of ex of mine recently, and it has totally made my dreams go haywire. For some reason I've had lots of dreams about him. Not those kind of dreams. Just bonkers dreams, in which I am mostly annoyed with him. Truth is, things are a bit awkward between us but I can't see a way of resolving that. I thought we once had a lot of respect for each other but now I think that he previously fed me a load of crap and told me what he wanted me to hear. This makes me feel like I was an idiot at the time - an idiot that revealed a lot of herself. I now feel a bit exposed that he's had that insight that he doesn't deserve. I think I just need to forget about it and keep my distance as much as I can. I need my subconscious to get a grip though.
- The oldest of my pussy cats will be 12 in a few weeks and the wee monkey has been fighting. On Friday I wondered why is face was all swollen - his front right canine has broken right off! Poor wee sausage.
- Getting back into more organised cooking. Chicken, chickpea and aubergine curry last night and a massive pot of chilli for tonight and the freezer.
- Weigh in on Thursday. Really trying to be as good as possible. I can't lie. It's not easy and I finding it hard to resist the call of any sort of food stuff of any description.

It's 3/4 on a pound on this morning. Rats.
I'm kinda feeling a bit zen about the scales. I've done a power of exercise this week and I am feeling good. I've definitely got a bit to go to get back to wedding weight (WW) but I am feeling a lot less bloated and so I'm really not too worried.
Also, I weighed myself at 5.40a, this morning (I'm telling ya, those few hours make a difference), last week was my first week of losing after a long haul flight and kick arse holiday, I'm pre menstrual - oh and I ate and drank too much over the weekend. Ha! There is that. Hmmm, yes... too many little treats here and there.
The challenge still rolls on though and we are now looking at 7.5 in 4. Yikes, just over half a stone in a month. Thing is, if i just make a few key tweaks here and there, it could be done.
I've got a hella busy five days coming up. Away with work tonight and at an event with work the following morning, then meeting a friend and getting home late. Friday, I've got my PT then TB and I are away this weekend at camp - which we need to plan activities for and buy all the stuff. Not sure when I will fit that in. Friday lunchtime? All of this involves a lot of eating out and eating where it's all catered for. I just need to make my mind up though. Am I doing this or am I not? I am, by the way.
I've also been looking into coconut flour, protein powder and maca powder, all things I've been meaning to try for a while but haven't quite got around to. Now is the time and I'll let you know how I get on with them, what I create with them and why I'm doing it.

Free time shmime
I knew there was no way I'd come back from honeymoon and I would have oodles of time on my hands. I'm never going to be the person who has oodles of time my hands, and even if I did I would fill it somehow.
We had a weekend at home this weekend - a whole weekend! And it was bloody lovely - but busy. Saturday (after my first lie in since we got home from hols) we headed off the the nearest big city to check out some kitchen showrooms. That's our next big project, doing the kitchen up. That was draining. We thought we knew what we wanted and now we've gone totally off in a new direction and are possibly back to where we started!
Then on Sunday we decided to spend half an hour planting the rhubarb we got as a wedding present. 4 hours later we were still hauling weeds out. I suppose, we've not touched the back garden since we moved in almost a year ago and it had gone somewhat wild. We then had a bbq with the in-laws and a couple of pals. All very civilised!
On the healthy living front, I can't lie. It's not been 100% There was cake on Friday night, boiled sweets on Saturday, too much food at the bbq and then also Eaton mess (which I made!). But, and this is a big but (haha!) the exercise front is very much AWN. Yesterday especially I was kicking arse and it felt amazing and all of a sudden I am feeling much more focused. I also have my lovely new sneaks - which are green and sexy and make me want to go running even more. On Thursday I ran 8km. On Friday I had a PT session (which was h.a.r.d) then yesterday I did my new gym resistance programme. However, it was too nice to be stuck inside a building and so I did it in the back garden with a garden chair and some paint tins. I then did 30 mins (5k) of interval training. I then ran another 2.5km miles to pick up my bike from the repair shop. I then cycled home. THEN TB and I did a 12km cycle after dinner. Holy macaroni! ON FIRE.
I also treated myself to some new flowery shoes and a dress for work which was £5 in the sale! Only once wearing said dress did I realise why it's £5; it's designed with a massive slit in the top. Eh?

Weigh in
So here we are again - it's weigh day! Life just
has this way of carrying on but I can't deny, I do quite like it. I'm a
creature of habit and routine is my friend. I bloody love going on holiday and
throwing myself into new adventures but I also love coming home.
Anyway, enough of this mithering on, let's talk
numbers. 3.5lbs off. Phew. That's a good result. It's partly down to the fact
my body has got back to normal, I've not been on a long haul flight and you
know, things have just sort of settled down.
It's also thanks to a spinning class, a personal
training session and two 5k runs (and some serious gardening). I'm quite
pleased with how I've eased back into things exercise wise. And to be honest,
that felt like quite the effort. There is no doubt my fitness has taken a bit
of a kicking. The second 5k was just me, knocking out one of my usual routes
and oh boy, I felt it. I still did it in 30mins (smug face!) but I was spent
after it. Three weeks ago that was a piece of cake.
Speaking of cake, let's talk food. Exercise is
not a problem for me. Regardless of my fitness levels, I do it. I put the time
in and I do what I'm supposed to. Not putting in my face what I shouldn't is
another thing altogether. In the main, over the past 8 days, I have been on point.
My meals are really good. I've got right back in the swing of healthy and
nutritious meals without too much fuss. However, where I have struggled is the
incidentals, which are FAR from incidental. I'm talking about the two decent
sized bars of chocolate I secret ate yesterday and the day before. WTF? Secret
eating? Are we back in 2003? I need to get a grip on that - stat. Yes, I just
wrote stat.
So today is a clean slate. I've got seven days
ahead of me for the taking. 10 in six is no longer people. We're now on to 6 in
five*.
*It's actually 6.75 but I think you'll agree,
doesn't really have the same ring to it.
Current Weight: 12 stone 6.75lbs
Weight Loss This Week: 3.5lbs
Weight Loss This Week: 3.5lbs
PS) I removed some of the stats. Weight lost in 2014 seems bonkers to have on there as it's only about 3lbs!

Living life in technicolour
I've always wanted to take part in the Colour Me Rad 5k. Who wouldn't want to run a 5k course while being pelted by colour bombs? No, not everyone?
A few of us donned our white t-shirts and shorts (which does make us look like we are on a day out from the mental hospital) and proceeded to get A LOT of colour thrown in our faces as we made our way round a very grassy course. It was so much fun. The sun was shining and it was a great way of doing a 5k. One of the girls had only run 3k before so she was totally chuffed with herself. Rightly so.
I was really glad we ran the whole thing but stuck together - I found it pretty hard going. I've actually just done a 5k right now and I did it in 30 mins - which is fine, I'll take that time. But that's the last 5k for a while - I need to get my distances up again. No more fun running - Operation 10 in 6 is go!

Chubby Mrs Lovecat
Well HAI there! Wedding is over, honeymoon is over and normal life is in full flow - I am now a married lady!
That's not to say I'm not going to tell you ALL about it so I can relive it once more. The wedding was magical. It was absolutely amazing. Despite the fact it rained pretty much throughout the whole ceremony, I wouldn't change a thing. Loved it.
I need to sort out my own pictures so I can talk (write?) you through the wholes shebang. In the meantime let me tell you how I managed to put on 10.5lbs in three weeks. Impressive, eh? That's a skill right there. I weighed myself on Thursday before the wedding - the day after I ran 10k in 1 hour 57seconds (check those bad ass numbers out!) and I was 11 stone 13.75lbs. Amazing! I did it - I somehow managed to scrape into the 11's!
However, I think it maybe lasted about two hours until I got to the wedding venue - and then I got stuck right into all manner of exciting eats and treats. That continued right through the whole honeymoon (coconut ice cream, I'm looking at you - oh, and burritos, peanut butter candy, cocktails, pancakes, burgers, fries... you get the gist) and it was flipping amazing. Delicious and amazing. Which has all resulted in a magnificent 10.5lb gain.
It's not going to last long though as I am now engaged a new progamme of my very own I have named '10 in 6'. Six weeks today I go to camp. In those six weeks I am going to make it my mission to lose the 10lbs I put on. I want to get right back down to where I was, and get my fitness back - stat!
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were pretty healthy but as of yesterday, we're on a 100% situation, people. 100% of being on point with eating and exercising. I went to spinning yesterday. It was a flipping nightmare. About 30 mins in I properly thought I was going to spew. Nice. This morning I saw my personal trainer. Again, horrific. My legs are like jelly and I felt like a wet rag. Just no energy left in my legs.
Doesn't matter though, as it's going to get easier. My fitness is going to come aback bit by bit and lose pounds are going to disappear.
