Lost my first stone!

Official weigh day today put me at 14 stone 13.2 (209.2 lbs), but body fat was, yet again, up on the rest of the week. I have resisted the urge to cross off my number one goal (to crack 15 stone) because yesterday was a bit weird. I wasn’t very well and slept almost all day. I didn’t do my workouts (which I will have to make up today) and I didn’t eat normally. On the off-chance that I inch back up above 15 stone for a couple of days, I don’t want to have to undo the goal. So as soon as I’m sure it’s sustainable, I’ll cross it off. But still, it’s pretty cool. What’s more, in the year and a half I’ve been playing at losing weight and keeping this blog, I have yet to lose a whole stone in one go, although I have weighed in at lower that I am today, since I originally started around 8 pounds lower than I was at the beginning of 2009. Confused? But now is now and I am really proud of myself for my progress. My weight seems to hover for a couple of weeks then show rapid drops, then hover again. So the take home message is just keep doing the right stuff and the results will come.

I did over 6 hours exercise last week. I haven’t included the Wii Balance in that total (I did 26 mins of this) because it doesn’t raise your heart rate, however useful it is otherwise, but I did over an hour of Wii Aerobics and nearly 40 mins of Wii Yoga! I also did an hour and a half of belly dancing with my mum and 45 mins of kickboxing on top of my BFS weights and intervals workouts. No pilates this week – the novelty of the Wii Fit seems to have crowded it out. But I am doing an advanced instructor training course in a couple of weeks, so I need to work on that. Goal for this week, at least 90 mins of pilates.
