DAY 718 Happy New Year

I hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas and enjoyed all the Christmas fayre that's been about. I know I certainly have. :o)

Since I last blogged 6 weeks ago I've managed to gain 7.5lbs, 6 of those in the last 2 weeks. I missed WI yesterday so I had my WI at home and gained 3lbs. I thought it was nearer 7lbs so I'm quite pleased that it was only 3lbs. The last 6 weeks I've eaten out loads with various Christmas meals and had quite a few take aways. I've not been that great at pointing. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd been exercising loads (up to 2 weeks ago) I'd of easily gained double.

As of today I'm back to pointing and I'm looking forward to getting totally back on track. My water workout classes don't start until next Monday and I've really missed not going to them over the last 2 weeks. I've also signed up for a 12 week fitness course at the sports centre that starts the first week of February. On a Tuesday I'll be going in, getting weighed and I think measured, they'll be advising on how to eat healthily and giving us a fitness plan. After this there'll be a 1 hour intense water workout. I've just completed an 8 week intensive water workout class and it was very hard work so I know what to expect there. Then on a Friday evening there'll be a Legs, Bums and Tums class every other week and on the other week there'll be circuits or something along those lines. They're not totally sure yet. Either way it'll be 'land' exercise and I really don't know what to expect. I've only done 1 workout class over the last 2 years and I hated it. I haven't done any form of aerobics for 20 years so that will all be new. (Unless you count me attempting to jump around in my small living room to a Davina DVD.) Saying that I'm really looking forward to it all starting. As a result of doing this course I'm going to have to give up my belly dancing classes which is a shame. With all my other water workout classes I'm going to be out 4 evenings a week and I won't be seeing much of my OH. I get more out of the water workout classes than out of the belly dancing classes and for the time being something has to give.

Looking back over the last year I've really struggled. This time last year I was 13.5lbs lighter and I'm now exactly 2 stones heavier than I was at my lightest in February this year. It's a shame that I haven't been as good as I could of been but on the plus side I've not given up completly. I still turn up to my WW meetings every week so that's got to be good. I've got 3 more WI's to go and I'll of been going to WW for 2 years. I'm now back to a loss of 47.5lbs and I want to go into my 3rd year with a total loss of 50lbs+.

I'm looking forward to 2011 and I'm feeling very positive about it.


Happy New Year to you all!! xxx
