This week's plans for getting out running again didn't quite materialise - my half day off was eaten up with an inset training day, Wednesday (my day off) was the day that Juliette headed off on her class skiing trip so there was lots of last minute running around and yesterday, I was dragged along to the sales by Sophie instead of getting out for a run.
Nevertheless, the week was quite reasonable for food, I've been listening to the Slimpod, walking lots and also trying out XLS-Medical, which are plant-based tablets designed to reduce the calorie intake from your food. I'll be telling you more about it in a few weeks when I can judge how I get on but first impressions are good - there are no side effects whatsoever, they taste of nothing and, despite me being hugely cynical, they quite possibly work. Who knows if this week's weigh-in is just down to good choices in other areas though?
Last week I weighed in at 88.8kg. My weight didn't move until near the end of the week but I spotted little signs - my coat feeling looser, my watch and ring constantly turning upside down - that showed that things were happening (this often happens with the Slimpod before the scales catch up, for some strange reason !). I was very pleased to jump on the scales for my official weigh-in and see 87.8kg - wahoo, down into the next kilo !
Positives of the week
- My coat is looser, my ring and watch keep going upside down
- I've just realised I've stopped polishing off the kids' leftovers
- I may not have gone running but I've been thinking about it and wanting to, which is already a good sign
- The badges are on the move again - from 5kg lost/50lb to go/11lb lost to 6kg lost/48lb to go/13lb lost

well done you!
ReplyDeletethanks xx
DeleteWell done, I haven't dared to get on the scales in a while. I keep thinking after we finish all the Christmas chocs, I'll go on a diet. :)
ReplyDeleteYou still look very svelte and willowy in the photos you post so I shouldn't worry ! ;-) xxx
DeleteBravo ! Bisous
ReplyDeletemerci xx
DeleteWell done xx
ReplyDeleteWahoo for the loss! Wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteExcellent news and here's to you achieving your goals for this week - way to go, girl :) Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
ReplyDeleteThank you - you too ! xx
DeleteYey! Well done on the loss chick! See those scales are budging! I take the XLS too and feel they have become more of a reassurance. Hope you are having a good week and thank you for linking up with #WeightLossWednesday xx Sim
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back :)
DeleteWell done on the loss! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quote.. 26lb is almost 2stone... Wow! :D
Thank you for joining in with #WeightLossWednesday
Just goes to show that babysteps are the way to go :)
DeleteI love the feeling of being down into the next kilo, big well done. I am starting Orlistat which is similar to XLS, so I hope we both get good results. Mich x
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a major boost when the numbers are on the move :) Hope you get a fabulous result too ... we can do this ! xxx
DeleteI have always been interested in XLS, but wondered if it would work, look forward to hearing more
ReplyDeleteA huge plus point in my eyes is that there are absolutely no side effects - I'm always dubious about these things upsetting your stomach and having your running to the toilet every 5 minutes !!
DeleteWell done, I love the motivational picture at the top, those half pounds certainly do add up! I look forward to hearing about XLS plan. Slimmerseeker Thursday will be live this afternoon x
