#FridayFitness

Hey beauts! 

I have been dying to write this post all week. 

After what seems like forever at staying the same weight, I am pleased to say that the number on the scales is finally going down. 

On Monday I started drinking a different brand of shakes. I generally have 2 a day, a meal in the evening and some light snacks throughout the day. Evenings are the hardest and I tend to find myself more hungry and craving bad stuff in the later hours. But, luckily I am getting better at the whole will power thing. 

Exercise wise I have been on my stationary bike for an hour a day, with a rest day yesterday. I have cycled a total of 31 miles so far this week and I plan on getting another ten done today once I've finished with all of my housey duties. 

So, on to the important bit. I haven't had time to measure as of yet, I'm going to get Liam to help me this evening as it gets a little fiddly.

This weeks stats...

Weight - 229.8 lbs -4.6lbs

Upper arms (r) -  cm  (l)- cm

Thighs (r) -  cm  (l)-cm

Bust - cm

Waist -cm

Hips - cm

I shall update the rest as soon as I have the figures. Generally I don't feel like I have lost much in way of cm but I so happy with the nearly 5lbs off! 

How are you all getting on?

Hello, my lovelies!

This week has been the first week I have been able to put a huge effort into this, since being incredibly ill.

Eating wise, I've kept within my Myfitnesspal limits, and I haven't actually been too hungry. I imagined I would be forever scouring the fridge and cheating left, right and center. But, so far so good.
That's not to say that I haven't had moments of hungriness, but it's been nice being able to eat when I'm hungry, not just because I want to/feel like it. This way I know that I'm eating for a purpose.

Exercise wise, I have started walking again. After my chest infection, it's been pretty hard going on the old breathing, but I've done 3 miles every other day so far. I'm hoping to get into a routine of doing it at least five times a week, meaning I will be walking 15 miles more than I would have last month.
3 miles usually takes me about an hour, so it really doesn't take up much time in my day. If I get up and do it first thing in the morning after breakfast, I find it doesn't interfere with anything else I plan on doing that day.

My official starting weight was 220lb.
I went down to 208lbs the week after I suffered with norovirus, but I have a funny feeling that I managed to put all of that weight back on, once my normal eating/binging cycle had returned. So I'm going back to my starting weight and working from that.

My weight today is 217.3 lbs.
I'm happy with that. It's healthy weight loss, so hopefully something that will stay off.
Also, does anyone else find that special occasion days always fall the day before weigh in?

Below I have included a little mini post that I thought may interest some of you.

I'd love to know if any of you have decided to join in with #FridayFitness.

Sportswear @ George

1 // 2  // 34 // 5 // 6A couple of days ago I posted a George wishlist. Whilst having a mooch online, I thought I would have a quick look at the sportswear and I was pleasantly surprised. As I'm in need of some new bits to keep my going, I figured I'd share my favourites with you. As well as the bits above, there is also a great selection of sports bras and other joggers. I picked out the more fitting bottoms, such as the yoga pants and 3/4 length legging style. I love the fact that for the most part, the sportswear is black, but it does have some great pops of colour. Solid coral tops are also available.

The new and improved #FridayFitness community | diet | exercise | facebook | fitness | friday | fridayfitness | help | inspiration | lbs | lose | recipes | support | twitter | weight | weightloss | whenflowersfall

Previously known as, Friday Fitday. 

Now, you guys know that I've been atempting some kind of weightloss for the past year. For the past year I have failed! But, now I have an incentive. 

My brother has made a group on Facebook called 'The Challenge'. He has challenged myself and a few of his friends to a weight loss mission. We have six months to healthily lose as much weight as we can. The one who loses the biggest percentage by then will get a prize from him. 

This week I have been tracking my food on MyFitnessPal, which you can feel free to add me as a friend on, and I've also been walking the dog every day. Which, if I'm totally honest, I haven't been doing until now. 

#FridayFitness will now become a weekly post where I can update you on my activities and favourite meals of the week, and of course any weight lost. 

I'd love to create a little community here, where we can all help each other and keep each other motivated. 

If you want to get involved, make sure to use the hashtag #FridayFitness on twitter and let me know how you are getting on. 

In the comments, feel free to leave inspirational quotes, meal ideas, recipes, or even exercise ideas.

I've also created a group page on facebook for anyone wanting to get involved. It's a closed group, meaning that anyone can see the group and join, but only members of the group can see what is posted. 

I hope to see some of you doing this with me! I think it'll be a great way to make friends, even if some of us struggle to shift the lbs!
