Weight loss results are in! I lost 3.5 lbs this week! I am beyond happy with that result, I only started the Fast800 plan on Sunday, and the weight loss would have been only from that (Sunday - Wednesday). I am definitely going to carry on with the plan, I had a wobble yesterday as I was at a loss what to do for dinner and ended up eating an oven pizza, and today I have had a combination of biscuits and Prosecco.  Whoops...only human though, AMR?! Dinner tonight will be on plan and healthy - Mediterranean Chicken Orzo by Pinch of Nom. I will get back on the Fast800 bandwagon tomorrow, including getting my butt into the gym, which I haven't done in ages.  I actually cannot wait, I started watching Danielle Mansutti's YouTube channel and I got stuck into her "Get Healthy with Me" videos and they really inspired me to get back at it. If you're feeling in a rut I definitely recommend giving them a watch.  I'll post an update rounding off tomorrow with...

I restarted slimming world on 01/05/2019 and as it stands on 12/06/2019 i am heavier than my starting weight.  I enjoyed myself waaaaaay too much at a one day festival that carried through all week and I majorly ruined my weight loss efforts. Feeling a bit down in the dumps about it and still struggling to stay on plan I decided to carry on with slimming world, as in still weigh in at group, but try a different diet for two weeks to give me a weight loss and confidence boost. I started on 09/06/2019 loosely following the Fast800 diet created my Dr Michael Moseley. The main concept that I have gleamed from the website is that the max calories that you eat are 800, and you also have to fast for up to 16 hours a day.  That means the "eating window" is 8 hours a day. To track my calories I have been using MyFitnessPal. Day one - 09/06/2019 - calorie total: 824 Surprisingly did not feel hungry this day, which I expected to, considering it was day one. I ate a chicke...

Don't you just hate it when you find your groove and something pulls the rug from under you? Well, yes, that happened to me last Friday.   I was out at a bar having an awesome time (was reliving my youth seeing Jo and Bradley from S Club 7 haha - look at the photo, he hasn't aged!!). When leaving my ankle caved in and of course I fell like a sack of spuds on top of it!! It didn't hurt to start with but by the time I got home the swelling had taken hold. Long story short after two visits to my local Urgent Care Centre AND an X-Ray it turns out I have ligament damage. Eurgh! No exercise for a week, then for three weeks light exercise with an ankle support. My brain got the hump with this, over the weekend I consumed Dominos Pizza, scones, bread, I could go on... I'm too worried of the damage to step on the scales just yet.   I have told myself off, I am back on the wagon as of now. Today I am going to plan out a weights workout for my arms to do ...

So a total of ten workouts this month, not great, but I beat last month by two! Total calories burned 3051, also beating last month. I feel as though my weight loss endeavour will always be an uphill struggle, wrestling with social events and trying to be "on my best behaviour".  I just have to keep telling myself that the hard work I put in now will mean a much happier future.   I will be happier going out with friends as I won't be stressing about what to wear and always being the dumpy one in the photos.  I honestly cannot remember the last time I liked a full length photo of myself (hence just selfies on Instagram). Total weight lost this year: 12 pounds.   I suppose I can hope that the slower it takes to come off the more likely I am to keep it off. I have mostly kept to increasing my water intake and I haven't really gone off kilter with food intake so I am getting better, which is positive. With regards to building the streak on myfitn...
