Weight loss this week = 2lb
That's 3lb lost in 2 weeks. Not bad considering I've sucummed to the wine on a couple of occasions. Now if only I could avoid it all together!! No wine in the house now so can avoid it quite well for the moment!! Pity the house is now full of Easter eggs, but am not a massive chocolate fan so that's no big problem.
Getting in to a regular exercise routine is still tricky while the boys are off school, but today I intend on fitting in my 30 rows. Something must be changing because hubby said my "over hang" has gone .... over hang?! Does him mean my flabby belly?!
Onwards - I have a goal to work towards as a couple of friends on Twitter are interested in doing the Ben Nevis with me next year - I said I wanted to do it before I was 50 and hope to push myself enough so I can do it.

Friday Failure!!
The combination of a Twitter session and a bottle of wine on a Friday evening = failed diet plan!! One should not combine the two - it leads to too much hassle which I always regret the next day! Never mind - one can't please everyone, I do try!! I get far too tetchy with people after a glass of wine or 3!
Back on the diet again today - have to remain focused and realise that when I slip off track I can get right back on the next day. Had my Weight Watchers meal for lunch and intend on doing a 30 minute session on the Wii Fit later.
Today I managed 50 rows!! Target to get to is 100 - maybe I'll get there if I persevere and kick the wine in to touch - wine, wine, wine - tis my EVIL!!
Must try and steer clear of the Easter eggs this weekend aswell - far too much temptation in a house with 2 children who need a high in calorie diet! I should have my own fridge!!
Weigh in is on Monday - working towards the 1lb weight loss but have to keep off the wine for the rest of the weekend!

Small Progress!
Had to give the exercise a little rest for a couple of days after pulling something in my left thigh doing the lunges! Very painful walking up and down stairs. Using muscles I've not used for years leads to a bit of discomfort! I managed 25 rows yesterday before having to give in due to my back telling me to stop! I do feel old! Everything hurts these days.
Today I managed 40 rows with no problem and could probably squeeze another 40 in later. I've been on the Wii Fit today and done my usual 30 minutes. Each time I'm gaining more points for each of the Aerobic's one's I like to do. I tried the Long Run instead of the Short Run - which was only an extra minutes running, but did it okay. I aim to try the Island Lap again tomorrow to see if I can get any further than the first time I tried!
My BMI has gone down slighly, but have lost no more weight. I like to do the Body Test every couple of days to see how things are progressing. My BMI should be 22, but it's 27. something at the moment. Still a way to go, but it's a good start!
No wine in the house tonight so I'm drinking water - I need to try and substitute my wine with something else less fattening .... !!
Finding it hard to get in to a routine while the boys are on Easter holiday, but will try and squeeze in a half hour exercise session each day if I can.

Exercise Session!
Yesterday afternoon I forced myself to switch the Wii Fit on and do a full 30 minutes of exercise. Joe decided to join in with the duel running, but ended up running out of breath and cheating by just waving the Wii remote control up and down to make his Mii run faster!! I wish that was all I had to do! I managed the 3 minute running okay and then decided to have a go at the Island Lap - gave up quarter of the way through - far too long a run for me at the moment. I'll have another go and each time try and get that bit further.
Had a go on the Kinnect exercise game aswell - took me about 30 minutes to set up a profile and then take the test exercises. I had a go at one session after picking a male Personal Trainer (he wasn't exactly handsome!!). I gave up after 10 minutes of lunges - my legs are not used to using muscles which have lain dormant for years!!
Then I did 30 rows and collapsed in a heap!!
I managed to steer clear of the wine last night by making a cup of coffee instead. Trying to keep my wine intake to weekends only - then I can cram a weeks worth in in one night (joke!).
More exercise on the agenda for today - maybe Joe will join in again - see how much exercise he can subject the Wii remote to!!

First Weigh In!
Monday is weigh in day (although that has not stopped me checking mid week, which one should not do as it becomes rather disheartening!).
First week weight loss = 1lb
It's a start!! Not managed much exercise over the weekend - I get easily distracted when the boys are at home basically feeding them and running around after them all weekend tidying up as they drop things! Not sure how I can continue on my little routine I set up while they are on Easter holidays for 2 weeks, but I'll try and squeeze my Wii Fit session in at least 2 - 3 times a week. Need to drag out the bikes to get them both out in the fresh air.
In lieu of my 1lb loss I will add £10 to the Justgiving page to the CF Trust - as promised.
Hoping for a 2lb loss next week - need to drop the wine next .... slowly! Not sure what I can do about the pile of Easter eggs looking at me which I know the boys won't eat - I may have to give them away before I decide I need to eat them!!
