So this week so far I've been to the gym twice. Tuesday was cut short slightly and today again but for different reasons. Today I was very nearly sick over the exercise bike and the woman on the one next to me. I got too hot, too dehydrated and didn't eat enough for the energy before I went. Silly Silly Me, won't be doing that again!
I'm self concious of the tops of my arms (bingo wings) so usually keep my hoody jacket on over my gym top or tshirt, which makes me even hotter than normal and sweat buckets but I'm a stubbon old saggy mule who won't bare all (or show bare arms in this case) I'm so daft, I'm not the only fat girl at the gym but I still get self concious about things.
Do still enjoy going tho which is the main thing.

Feeling Thinner
So the scales may not be my best friends BUT I am feeling thinner? The Mirror certainly agrees with me slightly (plus we have dodgy floorboards so can never rely on the scales at home anyway!) I'm thinking of weighing myself every week at the gym instead, maybe then i can get a more accurate reading.
Ive had a pretty good weekend, we did have a Burger King for lunch yesterday so not the best and I have had quite a few glasses of wine in total this weekend (about 7 in total i think....oops) but apart from that its been pretty good :)
Back to the gym tomorrow after having a week off, I have been doing my Zumba though and getting out and about for exercise instead, so I haven't exactly been sat on my arse all week.
I'm thinking of starting up Paul Mckenna again, I have a 90 day journal sitting here empty but I wont start it until i KNOW that i have the spare time to do it properly, I tried last time and failed miserably because i didn't put the effort into it, now my little girl is a bit bigger I can concentrate on my meals a bit more.

GAP
I am so super chuffed today, I bought a hoody from the womens section, an XL. Not XXL or XXXL, just the one X :)
Its Little things like this that make me want to keep going, that make me want to keep trying with the gym and with zumba at home and with the healthier eating.
Little achievements make the big goals seem more possible.
A Little faith in yourself goes a long way.

Get In!
(Ignore the boards on the floor, a floorboard just went under the carpet so they are there so we don't keep standing on it and go through to downstairs...)

22!!
OMG!! I am SUPER Thrilled this morning, I've got back into size 22 jeans!!! I found a pair I'd kept in wardrobe in vague hope I might fit into again one day, so when I was doing a clear out last night and I thought "why not, I'll give them a go" put them on, buttoned them up AND breathed out! Ta Da!! That's 28 crossed off, 26 crossed off, 24 crossed off....I reckon it was that 5k Race that did it ;)
So to celebrate I'm wearing them for our trip up to the NEC. I won tickets for the BBC Good Food Show via a competition on the Facebook Masterchef page. I'm off to cooking school first then for a wander round the exhibition. I Love my cooking, I always try to cook from scratch as most jars and packet mixes have things in I can't have.
Last night I made Spicy Sausage, Spinach and Bean Hotpot from scratch and it was lovely even if I do say so myself. I felt really good eating it as I knew it was healthy and I'd made it myself.
I'm sure I will snack on bits and pieces today that I shouldn't do on the 3 hour drive there and back and also at the exhibition stands of the things I can eat.
I get to go to the Cooking School at with Dhruv Baker today, he was the winner of Masterchef UK in 2010. He amazes me with his cooking skills and use of spices.
I could never go on Masterchef, I'm too much of a "home" cook, I like my pasta bakes, stews, casseroles, currys and chilli's too much to start cooking quail eggs and quince!
Bit of a rambling post today, so apologies to those who gave up half way and congratulations to those who made it to the end :)

Food Diary
So far today I have eaten -
Breakfast - Melon
Lunch - Beans on Toast
Dinner - Beef Mince Taco's with Dips
Drinks - decaf black coffee, caffeine free coke and a carlsberg.
Not really planning on any pudding but may have a scone later whilst watching Comedy Gala.
Not the best of days food and drink wise, need to have some water for the rest of evening no more fizzy or alcoholic drinks.

Gym Upgrade
So on Tuesday I went for my PT session and had my Program Upgraded, basically meaning it now hurts a lot more and i'm more out of breath!
I've added more weights training, some different cardio and some extra squats and stretches at the end. I need to get myself one of those big gym balls so I can practise some bits at home, last thing I want to do is fall flat on my arse in the gym in front of everyone.
I have also bought the Zumba game for the Wii, and have been doing 20 minute sessions everyday whilst baby is having a nap. I have just put her down for a nap and put my sweats on, but she doesnt seem to want to go to sleep.....great.
But on the plus side it is really good fun, its energetic, it gets your heart rate up, it gets you feeling slightly out of breath which is good for you and shows its working.
I still really need to sort my eating out, for breakfast this morning I had some melon...thats it. I didnt have time to "make" anything and convenience foods contain loads of sugar, fat and a long list of things that I am Intolerant or allergic to.
I found my original a4 piece of paper yesterday from the homeopathic allergy test I took 3 years ago, I'd forgotten exactly how in depth it had gone! Apparently I am allergic to Eel, I've never even tasted it! I do need to book in a new appointment to ee if any have changed now that I've spent 3 years cutting a lot of things out and refraining from nice things e.g Chocolate, Cake, Cheese, Milk, Yoghurt, Pork, Bacon, Mustard, Citrus Fruits....and so on.
