Liska over at
New Mum Online is holding a blog hop about losing our Mum Tums for summer. I blogged about how I was going to achieve this last week. There has been much chat and support on twitter this week and it's been a great reminder to keep positive.
I became ill with the flu last week and I have been in bed for 3 days with it. This means that the exercise part of The Plan went down the tubes. I did make up for it in the food department as I didn't eat anything for three days and even today I am not really up to eating much at all. Not the healthiest start and certainly not a way to continue!
I'm on the mend now and I hope that I have a good week ahead of me. I will gradually start to take more exercise but I don't want to over do it too soon. I am going away for the weekend to Belfast for a wedding so I hope that I can be sensible and not ruin all my hard work.
My aim for the week is to lose a few more pounds so that the dress I am wearing to the wedding fits me a little better and that I feel more comfortable in it when I'm sitting down.
I like to keep track of my weight on the scales and I am not obsessive about it. I understand the weight fluctuates so I don't get too fixated on the weekly amounts but I measure my success over the course of a few weeks and also by how I feel in my clothes. I have felt lighter the past couple of days and the waistbands were a little slacker. The scales show a loss of 6lbs this week as of today so I am well chuffed with that. Long may it continue!
