Monday 24th January:
Well I was made up to lose another pound on the fitness challenge on Friday. So I had Saturday and Sunday off, sort off. Went to the pub Friday, had half fish and half chips with the other half as well and on Saturday had a few glasses of wine.
Thing is, I’m NOT on a diet here – I’m just trying to prove you can lose weight by not dieting and just watching what you eat and exercising a bit more. Sunday I did a 45 min power walk on the streets around where I live with my ipod on and walking to the beat. I also walked the dog for 45 mins twice on Saturday and Sunday. And for tea yesterday I had an Ainsley Harriott Hot n Sour Packet Soup, some German ham and home-made carrot onion coleslaw with low-fat salad cream for tea last night.
Pork chops for tea tonight (fat cut off) and two walkies for Daisy are today’s plan. I have never been as low as my current weight in 15 years so this is really spurring me on to my target (eventually not after 4 weeks) of losing another 2 inches off my waist for Summer. Who knows? Oh I had some wine gums as well over the weekend, just remembered!

Weds 19th January:
So I am trying my best by eating healthily – jacket potato with Lighter Lurpak (just can’t ruin a spud with margarine!) LoLo Cheese and Co-Op Healthy Coleslaw along with some rocket salad and a hard boiled egg. All followed by some Orange Jelly – don’t know how many calories there are in that though.
Had my haircut yesterday and walked to the barber instead of driving – that’s a mile and a half round trip and took Daisy doggy for walkies again to try and keep trim.
Did well in 2 days last week losing 2 lbs so hopefully can lose another couple this week.
I think I’ll beat Angela this week as she seems to be gobbling a lot of bad things from what I can gather, believing going to the gym a couple of times will offset it.
Extra walkies and eating a bit healthier (not a diet) will win the day – I’m convinced!

Monday 10th January:
So for Day One I took Daisy for a long walk in the afternoon and again at night ….the extra night walk is a mile and a half more than I do so that should help.
And my healthy eating involved good snacks of carrots for me and Daisy and a healthy tea for me and the better half of a giant bag of stir-fry with some nice free range chick chicks.
