Monday Mum Tum - Checking in

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!

The other girls taking part can be found below on Liska's blog hop . . . .

  3. I think I might have the answer to our prayers! The lazy girls answer to exercise hee hee.... toning shorts. They are shorts you wear that send electric currents down your hips, bum and thighs. I already have a toning belt and that's how I toned up after having my first.

    Anyway, I have been asked to review some and have another four pairs (was 5 but my Sister notyetayummymummy has bagged herself a pair already). Do you fancy trialling them with me??? Just leave a comment on my page or DM me if you do.

    Thanks
