Progress?

Well what a few weeks.  Those who know me really well will know that I'm sort of suffering after the breakdown of my relationship with my fiancé and he moves out at the end of next week so I must say that looking after myself emotionally has been more of priority than the physical side of things.  I overdid it at the gym and stuff so I've not really been able to do as much as I'd like either.  I also chickened out of weighing in on Monday!


I have weighed in since my last blog though and my current weight is...

14st 13lbs

That was 7lbs on one week.  Really chuffed with that!  Great to see so many other people who have signed up to the January challenge on Facebook doing so well too.  Looks like I'll have to get my thinking cap on for a February challenge too so that we keep this up.

Here's how I'm doing with my "goals".  Great to see one of them ticked off the list already!  I think getting back down to 14st 7lbs is one of my massive ones though.  I really need to get back there as getting out of the 14s won't seem so far away as at the moment it seems miles away.

Weight

• Get to 14st 7lbs

Fitness

• Be able to run for 5 minutes solid without stopping

Clothing

• Be able to fit into my size 16 jeans again.
• Be able to fit into my polka dot pencil skirt

Fresh Starts and Fresh Goals. General Freshness!

I can't believe I didn't post my starting weight for this year!  Last weeks weigh in saw me still being in the wrong side of the 14s but I'm determined that won't be for long.  Start weight is a whopping...

15 st 6lbs

Oh dear!  I don't weigh in until tomorrow morning but I'm quietly confident as I've been working out loads and been really good food wise.  My clothes feel looser so hopefully the scales will give me the number I want.  Aiming for 8lbs off this month.  If you're on Facebook then feel free to join Shrinking Violet's January 8lbs Challenge here to get some support and motivation as there are a few of us doing this.  Being the competitive wee soul I am, I obviously intend to lose far more than 8lbs but if I only lose that then it's better than nothing.


Of course a new year brings with it new goals.  You may remember my goals were divided into three: weight, fitness and clothing.  I intend to follow the same trend this year and actually revisit them this time.  Here are my short term ones for the time being - my long terms ones are still up for debate!

Yes folks, Team Lauren is back and this year I can't be stopped!
