Weigh~in!

Well i gained 3.5lb after my week away which is a lot less than i though i had put on. Back on track already though.

Went swimming yesterday and did 50 laps which i was pleased with but god i felt so ill! I had a headache on the morning which i think was lack of crap food and my swim didn't make me feel any better so it got to the point where the pain was so awful that i wanted to vomit.
I could of so easily just ran for the junk food but i was strong and kept away. I feel much better today for it though and hope i have a very good week.

Honey I'm home!

Well we are home from our week away and starting to get back to normal.

We all had a great time even though on our second day we had to visit A&E with Abi cos she tripped and split her eyebrow! She's fine and was very brave.
We visited Edinburgh Butterfly world where i held a tarantula! and snakes. We also finally got to go to Alnwick gardens and it was fab.
I could of spent the whole day there but the kids were worn out. Will be visiting again though.

As far as eating goes we lived on rubbish so i have no idea how much weight i will of put on, find out tomorrow evening though.
Getting back on track now though and to be honest i feel very tired and could do with doing some exercise. May go swimming later.

Holiday time in the Stapleton house

We are off tomorrow for a week and I'm really looking forward to it.
Speak to you all when i get home ;o)

Weight-bearing exercise

I had no idea what weight-bearing exercise were until i read an article in one of my monthly magazines.

Apparently us ladies are recommended to do a weight-bearing exercise as a way of increasing bone density to protect against osteoporosis.
Essentially, you have to be supporting all your weight on your feet and putting some kind of impact on them, such as with running or skipping, for the exercise to qualify as weight-bearing.

So the skipping rope that i bought a few months ago and has since laid on my bedroom floor will be getting some use from now on to strengthen my bones!

Weigh~in!

Well i have lost that sneeky half a pound that i put on last week, lol.
Was thinking of doing kickstart from now until i go away on Saturday and then starting up again on the following Sunday just to try and save a few extra points that i will no doubt put on whilst i'm away.
I know i will gain but will try and keep it to a minimum.

I've not had.....

a great week.
Started off feeling ill then felt loads better on Tuesday after Pilates and swimming but then felt ill again on Wednesday morning and have been the same since really.
Have no idea if i have lost or gained this week as i really don't feel any different. Not worried about it though as i just want to feel back to normal again.

My little girl found my motivation wristband today so I've put it back on. It does work to have something visual on you at all times and it helps that i see it as food is about to enter my mouth, lol.

Fingers crossed for tomorrows weigh in.

Exersice = Happy me!

Well it turns out that i ended up in the intermediate Pilates class today after a bit of a mix up with the holidays so i was told that if things got to hard to just backtrack on what we have done and take it easy.
Anyway i kept up and only struggled on a couple of things but it was the same things i struggle in beginners class with too.
Really enjoyed it and think i could become addicted to it.

Was chatting with the instructor afterwards and was saying that i am already feeling a difference in my body and that i feel about an inch taller.
So glad i finally took Pilates up.

Went swimming with the kids after too but only managed 16 lengths (400 metres) as they had the big floating Nessie out for the kids.
I'm so tired now i could just nod off on the sofa.

For tea we had the new Heinz Spread and bake on chicken with pasta and salad, 7 points. Was lovely.
Have 12 points left so will have a bowl of cereal later when i get peckish but feel really full at the moment. Will use the rest of my points to make up for how badly I've eaten over the past two days.
