1st Weigh In!!

I had my first weigh in this morning. Went to boots this morning after dropping the kids at school. I lost 4 lbs!!!!! Am very pleased. I would have like to lose maybe a lb or 2 more but its 4 lbs off in the right direction. I haven't deprived myself as much as I would normally either so am very pleased.

I probably could have lost more but I am placing the blame on the bar of galaxy I had on Sunday night. Dh went to the shop and bought me some choccie. I only intended to have a couple of squares but before I knew it it was all gone!! Oops!!

As I was feeling so motivated I have been to Asda and done the shopping. Got lots of weight watchers bits and bobs too. This week I am going to keep an eye on the fat content of everything too as I have noticed that things can be lowish in cals but are surprisingly high in fat.

I have bought some quorn burgers to try as a few people have recommended them. I have also bought some extra lean mince so I can make one of my favourite meals chilli con carne for tea one night.

So my new weight is 18 stone 11 lbs. I will take a photo of the slip and upload it here later when dh gets in from work with the camera or I might see if I can scan it on later.

I am so proud of my buddy. She's done great and lost 8 lbs. Hope I haven't let her down by only losing 4. Its working great having a buddy as I know I have someone to talk to. I usually find the second week harder but am determined to keep up the healthy eating.

I also want to increase my exercise big time too!! I have ordered My Fitness Coach for the Wii off Amazon and hope to have it by the weekend. I can't wait to get started with that. In the meantime I plan on doing as much exercise round the house as possible and as I will have to take the kids to school and fetch them on the bus then I will be doing more walking too. I am going to walk an extra couple of bus stops when I go to fetch them and get off a couple of stops early too. Unfortunately their school is not close enough to walk to.

Will update more this week as I have more time available and whilst I'm on here I am not eating lol!!
