Thursday 15th January - First weigh-in



Good Morning People,

 And what a wonderful morning it is. It was my first official weigh-in today and I am very happy with the result. The number on the scales this morning was 


96.1kg – First semi-target


I am ecstatic, this means that 5:2 might actually work for me. I’ve never had that kind of weight loss in a week, even with the silly short term diets that claim it will happen.


I’m not getting too carried away however I know this first week is just water weight, possibly even the first fortnight. I expect the rate to slow dramatically but this has really got my morale up, along with noticing that I’ve lost 2cm from my bust and hips and 1cm from my waist and neck, a total of 6cm in a week. It can’t be bad.


So the question now is whether I can keep this up and if I can hit my first "Lindy Bop dress" target by the beginning of February. Fingers crossed.

In answer to a possible question - no I'm not going to blow it today I know that if I can stick to this it will work for me. 

I have have goals and I will reach them!

Hot Weather:Activity Ratio - It's terrible

No matter how determined you might be, when the weather gets too hot, motivation to move goes way down (unless you have a strange fetish for being drenched in your own sweat). Hot weather has thoroughly beaten us here in Cyprus. While we're used to the usual Mediterranean climate, this year has been weird. Winter, winter, (can't be bothered with Spring) mild winter... Crap, it's May already. Here have SUMMER! And BOOM! Straight from low 20s to high 30s (that's degrees Celcius) in just a couple of days. I won't lie, it has drenched me in my own cooling fluid for nearly a week, and my motivation to move has been somewhere subterranean. Just as I had gotten into a routine of walking and quick bursts of high-intensity activity, I now have no desire to move at all. Don't Beat Yourself Up I have a half-baked theory that we shouldn't try to push ourselves too hard in extreme temperatures. I'm heavy, and like many others who struggle with their weight, it ...

Running – Oh My GOD!

I’m not a runner, I have monumentally knackered knees, a VERY large bosom and I suffer from perpetual fear of ridicule. I’m fat, you know this if you’ve been reading my posts, and I hate exercising where people can see me, I feel ridiculous. That feeling that you are completely surrounded by fit, thin people, all of whom are judging you for allowing yourself to be so unfit and overweight. In practice I’m sure this isn’t true (almost sure).  I’m going to start running on Monday. Okay scratch that I’m going to start walking with brief periods of running thrown in to get me started. It’s not much but it’s a start and I’m pretty sure my knees are never going to get strong enough to run unless I start to run. My main issue is bounce, I have a single sports bra that stops the bounce but it’s not all that comfortable because I feel like a trussed up turkey. The problem is that I feel like I’ve been tied and bound in all the sports bras I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried running ...

Thursday 13th August

Given my weekend of excess and the consequent return to healthy eating I’ve been suffering from a very grumpy digestive system. As a result I shall be attempting a two-day fluid fast, to try and flush my system of any nasty bugs I may have picked up. Hopefully that may also boost my weight loss again. NB I have discovered a new salad dressing. Replacing balsamic vinegar with fresh lemon or lime makes for a very refreshing dressing and allows the salad to keep more ‘crunch’ to it. It’s yummy!
