Weight

You may have noticed that I have now added a weight loss tracker to the blog. I am trying to lose about 2 stone but this didn't start because of the wedding. I don't believe in losing weight just because you are getting married. I think that on your wedding day your shouldn't look wildly different to normal apart from the gorgeous outfit of course!

Anyway about two months ago I weighed myself and got a bit of a shock! I knew I'd put on some weight as I could no longer fit into a couple of pairs of trousers but it turned out I had put on two stone in about two years.

Later that week I discovered there is a weigh in club at work. It is a very low key affair where you pay £1, weigh yourself and then a lady keeps a note of your weight loss (or gain!). The money all goes to a local charity. I decided to join in as a motivation to try and lose some of this extra 2 stone. Since then I have lost 10lb.

I had been doing really well losing anything between 1lb and 4lb a week but unfortunately last Thursday I put on 2lb. I haven't changed anything major in what I eat. I have cut out snacks and have smaller portions at mealtimes. I am still eating the same meals as before including a Friday night takeaway!

As I said I had not decided to lose weight because of our wedding but that has now just given me a target. It would be great to be at my previous weight of 9st come our wedding day.

Hopefully this Thursday will show better news than last week. Yesterday I was really ill with sickness and diarrhoea so that should have helped! Always look on the bright side of these things! I still don't feel well today so prob won't be eating too much. But don't worry I won't get into that habit!
