spring break kinda bombed

Ive been sick the last 2 days with a stomach bug. It's HORRIBLE

so there has been no exercising and not much eating.

I just want it to be done with.

Spring Break Day 2

This was a weird day...very lazy, very bummed out after talking to my Nan who has been in hospital since February after a stroke. She was crying and asking me to come home.

Thanks to Daniel's encouragement I still exercised and we went for about a 40 minute walk, our usual route we have if we go for a long walk.

I think I only managed one bottle of water so need to step that up!

spring Break Day 1

Well it wasn't really spring break as it was a work day in school.

I managed to leave into to catch a shoing of the movie 'the wrestler' - snack free. We went to subway for lunch before hand and i had had a bagel for breakfast so not doing too bad at all.

I managed to stick to my exercise and water bid,, went out to buy the water last night. I got 24 0.5l bottles I find it much more likely that I will drink it in this way. I have a bottle beside me right now!

I went by the gym in our apartments but it was pretty busy (only one treadmill) so I jogged/walked around the apartments for a little while.

I'm glad I did it, it turned out I left my debit cad at the postal office today so I had to go back for it and really didn't feel like going out AGAIN to exercise but I didn't want to write here that i failed on day 1!

Tomorrow I don't know what the plans are yet but I want to get the exercise part put of the way sooner rather than later.

Bye for now

here's to Bryher

If I haven't said it before, please check out my friend Bryher's blog.

This weekend she was featured in 'fabulous' magazine that comes with the news of the world. I'm hugely proud of her and starting to think I should put more effort into this blog and it might help me.

Her blog is www.bryherhill.com and you can see the finished article there.

I guess I'm actually quite relieved this week to have not put on. But 10.4lbs in all this time is not great.
People do seem to be noticing, especially parents at school which is nice, but think how much better I could do if I was really trying!?

This is what I think I will do.

As it is Spring Break, I'm going to go out and buy some bottled water. And drink it!

As a teacher it is hard to 1) find the time to remember to drink water and 2) it is difficult at times to get to use the bathroom the day is so full. I'm hoping if I can make it a habit this week I can figure out a way to keep it going.

Secondly I have no excuses for not going the the gym. So this is a big one for me. I'm going to try to do SOMETHING in the gym from Monday - Friday this week. Even if it is just running for 15mins.

I think I need to use this blog kind of to be accountable.

I have to be honest, living here is very much about eating out. Not just junk/fast food but restaurants and all that stuff. I like to go out when I can afford to but I will have to try to control this if I can.

So, I will try to update tomorrow as to how it is all going.

weigh in 11? or not...

I have not weighed in the last few weeks, I have been very absent minded with the fire that happened to my house in the UK and stress at work

I weighed today and I weigh exactly the same as the last time I weighed. So I'm glad I didn't put on but frustrated with myself that I haven't lost much.

I guess only i can address that.

weight 222.4
Loss 10.4

weigh in 10

Weight - 222.4lbs
Loss. 0.4lbs
Total loss - 10.4lbs

weigh in 9

I'm a little confused, I must have recorded wrongly last weke because i always save my results on the scales I own.

This morning it said 1.2lb lost, 10lb total but that doesn't tally with last weeks result so I'm confused!

Current Weight 222.8lbs
Total Loss 10lb
